问题 Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading passage ? In boxes on your answer sheet, write
TRUE         if the statement agrees with the information
FALSE        if the statement contradicts the information
NOT GIVEN    if there is no information on this [br] To determine longitude, the measurement of the distance from the Moon to the given star is a must.
选项 A、TRUE
B、FALSE
C、NOT GIVEN
答案 B
解析 为了精确地计算经度，必须测定月球到某一恒星的距离。题干关键词为the Moon、to the given star、to determine longitude。这些词基本在原文中都原词重现了，定位到B段：To determine longitude，navigators had no choice but to measure the angle with the naval sextant between Moon centre and a specific star—lunar distance—along with the height of both heavenly bodies．本题解题的关键在于对这句长难句的理解以及lunar distance的理解。我们可以画出这句话的主干：To determine longitude，navigators had to measure lunar distance with the naval sextant．为了精确地计算经度必须用六分仪测定月角距。什么是月角距?即破折号之前的the angle between Moon centre and a specific star(月球中心与特定恒星之间的“夹角”)，而非题干所说“距离”。因此，本题的答案为False。
