Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．B;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	推断题。根据第二段来推断。这一段采用对比手法。过去如果你要学点东西，你采取去找亲戚朋友、上夜校或去图书馆等方法，可是现在你可以用上网的方法。因此它是在讲方式的改变。A项的意思是“把新的网站介绍给人们”。文章中的确提到两个网站，但是这两个网站是C项中的new means的两个具体例子。D项中solve any difficulty you meet with太绝对化了，它只是帮你learn what you want。
(2)	猜测词义题。根据第三段最后一句话“These FAQs…took a specific subject－and explained it to complete novices．”我们可以看出FAQs是面向大众的，它是帮助人们学习他们想学习的东西。因此A项面向专家，B项面向网主都不对。C项不应该是面向没有知识的人，而是面向有问题想找到答案的人、想学习东西的人。只有D项面向刚到“如何做”这样的网站上寻求方法的那些人才合适。
(3)	判断题。根据第二段的第二句话“But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of”，即“现在很多网站正在逐步建立起来，目的是提供免费而又实用的建议”，因此它是帮助人们学习他们想学习的东西。
(4)	推断题。用排除法来做。A项中disabled显然是不对的。C项中pleasant to listen在文章中也没有任何暗示。D项中的question(质问、询问)不合适。
