32、l与“拼写无关，而是指“咒语可知。4C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，人们相信魔法咒语是因为人们需要相信它。当人们无法控制情况的后果时，就可能转向寻求魔法咒语来减轻自己的恐惧或不安，也就是人们缺乏自信。5D 正误判断题。D 项意思为：咒语可以解决人们用自然的方式不能解决的问题。由文章内容可知，咒语只是人们解决问题时的一种寄托和心理安慰，并不能真正地帮助人们解决问题，故 D 项表述错误。其他三项均可从文中找到相应的依据。【广东省 2012 届高三考前冲刺卷(一)】D The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Un
