[5]/[6]Four gunmen have been killed as the Indian military hindered a pre-dawn attack on an air force base near the border with Pakistan, officials say.
    [6]Two soldiers at the Pathankot base were also killed in a gun battle lasting several hours. The base is on the main highway leading to Indian-administered Kashmir.
    The incident came days after the Indian and Pakistani leaders met in Lahore to launch a surprise peace initiative.
    The gunmen wore Indian military uniforms and drove a stolen car [7]when they launched the attack at 3:30.
    They entered living quarters at the base, but were contained there and so were unable to cause any damage to military hardware, said air force spokeswoman Rochelle D’Silva.
    The BBC’s Sanjoy Majumder in Delhi says it is not yet clear who the attackers were but suspicion is already falling on Kashmiri militant groups based in Pakistan.
    India says the group is backed by Pakistan, but Islamabad denies this.
    5.What is the news report mainly about?
    6.How many people were killed in the attack?
    7.When did the attack occur?
选项 A、An attack launched by gunmen.
B、A peace initiative before the attack.
C、The damage to military hardware.
D、A militant groups based in Pakistan.
答案 A
解析 本题为主旨大意题，需要在理解大意的基础上，注意到一些细节，难度略大。一般来说，新闻的首句会对全篇作一个概述，道出when、where、why等要素。新闻首句提到。在与Pakistan接壤的边境，一个空军基地在凌晨受到攻击，印度军方在防御时击毙了4名枪手。新闻后面的内容都是围绕这次攻击，故A项“枪手发起的一次攻击”是正确选项。B项“攻击前有一个和平会谈”本身是正确的，但这只是新闻细节。根据印度官员的说法，在本次袭击中，并没有对军事设施(military hardware)造成损坏，C项不正确。袭击分子受到巴基斯坦支持，这只是印度方面的猜测，伊斯兰堡(Islamabad是巴基斯坦的首都，西方新闻中常用一国的首都来指代该国政府)方面否认了，故排除D项。
