1、New Product Will Save LivesDrinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Patton, who started Genera five years ago. He ａｎｄ　his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.Andy Headland, Genera\'s marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA ａｎｄ　forecast good American sales fｏｒit. Genera has already sold 11 0fits tests at $42,500 a time in the UK ａｎｄ　has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.Genera was formed five years ago ａｎｄ　until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headlａｎｄ　believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.The British government is helping Dr Parton to sell the tests abroad.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题的意思是：英国政府正帮助Parton销售这种产品。原文根本没有提到这一信息，故选C。

2、DyslexiaAs many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disｏｒｃｅｒcalled dyslexia.Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world\'s great thinkers ａｎｄ　scientists, Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventｏｒThomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe ａｎｄ　the United States more than 80 year ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disｏｒｃｅｒwere not mentally slow ｏｒdisabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain, the part that controls language is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right’ side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males that in females, ａｎｄ　it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby\'s body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently ａｎｄ　need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent ｏｒcreative.The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:题目中的关键词是专有名词Europe，我们很快在第2段第5行找到答案所在句。通过对比题目和答案所在句，我们发现从recognize—discover，more than 80 years ago—less than a century ago都属于同义改写，但唯一有差别的是文中提到的两个地方： Europe和 the United States在80多年前发现了读写困难症病例. 但题目中仅仅提到了Europe。对于这个问题，我们可以进行如下推理：设A= Europe，B=the United States，实际上这道题就变为一道推理题：如果A+B正确，那么A是否正确？实际上很简单：A+B成立（正确）的充分必要条件是AUB正确，即A正确或者B正确。经过这样的推理，我们知道该题的答案应为A。

3、Fermi ProblemOn a Monday morning in July, the world\'s first atom bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert, Forty seconds later, the shook waves reached the base camp where the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fezmi ａｎｄ　his team stood. After a mental calculation, Fermi announced to his team that the bomb\'s energy had equated 10,000 tons of TNT. The bomb team was impressed, but not surprised. Fermi\'s genius was known throughout the scientific world. In 1938 he had won a Nobel Prize. Four years later he produced the first nuclear chain reaction, leading us into the nuclear age. Since Fermi\'s death in 1954, no physicist has been at once a master experimentalist ａｎｄ　a leading theoretician.Like all virtuosos (大师), Fermi had a distinctive style. He preferred the most direct route to an answer. He was very good at dividing difficult problems into small, manageable bits talent we all can use in our daily lives.To develop this talent in his students, Fermi would suggest a type of question now known as a Fermi problem. Upon first hearing one of these, you haven\'t the remotest notion of the answer, ａｎｄ　you feel certain that too little information had been given to solve it, Yet when the problem is broken into sub-problems, each answerable without the help of expert. s ｏｒbooks, you can come close to the exact solution.Suppose you want to determine Earth\'s circumference without looking it up. Everyone knows that New York ａｎｄ　Los Angeles are about 3,000 miles apart ａｎｄ　that the time difference between them is three hours. Three hours is one-eighth of a day, ａｎｄ　a day is the time it takes the planet to complete one rotation, so its circumference must be eight times 3000 0r 24000 miles. This answer differs from the true value, 24,902. 45 miles, by less than four percent.Ultimately the value of dealing with everyday problems the way Fermi did lies in the rewards of making independent discoveries ａｎｄ　inventions. It doesn\'t matter whether the discovery is as important as determining the power of an atom ｏｒas small as measuring the distance between New York ａｎｄ　Los Angeles. Looking up the answer, ｏｒletting someone else find it deprives you of the pleasure ａｎｄ　pride that accompany creativity, ａｎｄ　deprives you of an experience that builds up self-confide. Thus, approaching personal dilemmas as Fermi problems can become a habit that enriches your life.Fermi problem is to develop the talent of breaking a seemingly unanswerable problem into sub-problems ａｎｄ　finding the solution to it, which is a typical Fermi problem.【单选题】

答案解析:答案的依据是第3段的内容。第1句中的this talent指第2段提到的将难以解决的问题分解成几个容易处理的小问题。第3段对这种解决问题的方法又进一步作了描写。

4、African wild dogFinding a babysitter while you go out to work is, fｏｒexample, an inconvenience. Fｏｒthe African wild dog, one of the continent\'s most endangered carnivores （食肉动物), it\'s a matter of life ａｎｄ　death. A new research shows that once packs (兽群) fall below a certain size, they are not enough animals to both hunt food ａｎｄ　stay at home protecting the young.The African wild dog has declined drastically over the past century. Habitual loss (栖息地的丧失), persecution ａｎｄ　unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3, 000 to5,000 animals remain, ａｎｄ　the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues.Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena (鬣狗) face similar pressures, yet are not declining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dog\'s weakness lies in its social organization.Within each pack of up to 20 adults ａｎｄ　pups, only the dominant male ａｎｄ　female breed. The remaining animals help raise the pups, cooperating to hunt prey ａｎｄ　defend the kill from other carnivores.Because pups can\'t keep up on a hunt, large packs leave an adult behind to protect them from predators (捕猎者), which include lions ａｎｄ　hyenas. But leaving a babysitter also carries costs. A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey ａｎｄ　to defend the kill. There is also one less stomach in which to carry food back to the den, ａｎｄ　one more mouth to feed when they get there.Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off (权衡) by modeling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed all the pups ａｎｄ　still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs, either the hunting ｏｒthe babysitting suffers, ｏｒthe animals have to compensate by increasing the number of hunting excursions which itself carries a cost to the pack.Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of five animals ｏｒfewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they did leave a babysitter, they were forced to hunt more often.A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in a vicious circle (恶性循环), says Courchamp, who is now at Paris-Sud University. "Poｏｒreproduction ａｎｄ　low survival further reduces pack size, culminating in (最终造成) failure of the whole pack. " ａｎｄ　deaths caused by human activity, says Courchamp, may be what reduce pack numbers to below the sustamable threshold. Mammal ecologist Chris Carbone at London\'s Institute of Zoology agrees. Maintaining the integrity of wild dog packs will be vitalin preserving the species, he says.Steps will be taken to protect the African wild dog.【单选题】

5、Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge ｏｒexperience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty ａｎｄ　inexact command. What accounts fｏｒthis difference?Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behaviｏｒof the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, ａｎｄ　right use of words ａｎｄ　right structure. He drinks in all the words ａｎｄ　expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures ａｎｄ　facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice ａｎｄ　snow in June ｏｒscorching heat in January. ａｎｄ　what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again ａｎｄ　again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood ａｎｄ　fulfilled.Finally, though a child\'s "teachers" may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close ａｎｄ　personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.Gestures ａｎｄ　facial expressions may assist a child in mastering his native language.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:题干大意：手势和面部表情可能会对儿童掌握母语有帮助。利用答案线索词gestures和facial expressions，我们可以在第三段第二句中发现直接相关信息。该句说：儿童学习母语的另一个优势是可以接触各种情景的母语，而且还常伴随着正确的手势和面部表情。可见原句的说法与问题句一致，所以问题句“正确”。
