【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:B

【解析】第1题:细节事实题。文章第二段最后一句提到“信息科技使得电子经济成为可能，这将让富裕国家加强对全球市场的控制，而对贫困国家则是毁灭性的影响”（Theelectroniceconomymadepossiblebyinformationtechnologyallowsthehavestoincreasetheircontrolonglobalmarket―withdestructiveimpactonthehave-nots），由此可知，高科技的发展意味着富裕国家的利益不断增加，选项A符合题意。

第2题:推理判断题。文章第一段提到对于那些看得见未来的人来说，计算机、电视和电话将永远改变我们的生活；但是却很少有人关注这些科技的发展对穷人的影响（forthosewhohaveseenthefuture,thelinkingofcomputers,televisionandtelephoneswillchangeourlivesforever.Yetforallthetalkofaforthcomingtechnologicalutopialittleattentionhasbeengiventotheimplicationsofthesedevelopmentsforthepoor），由此可知贫困国家的利益并没有得到重视，选项B符合题意。

第3题:推理判断题。文章第二段最后一句提到“信息科技使得电子经济成为可能，这将让富裕国家加强对全球市场的控制，而对贫困国家则是毁灭性的影响”（Theelectroniceconomymadepossiblebyinformationtechnologyallowsthehavestoincreasetheircontrolonglobalmarket―withdestructiveimpactonthehave-nots），由此可知，由于电子经济会使得全球市场掌控在富裕国家手中，因而贫穷国家的利益将会受到损害，选项A符题意。

第4题:细节事实题。文章第三段主要讲述了通信技术对发展中国家的影响。文章提到发展中国家对自己命运的掌控越来越少，为了重新获得控制权，它们会考虑通信现代化（“developmentcommunications”modernization），但是这样做的后果是会导致长期依赖和对本国经济永久地制约（Yetthisleadstolong-termdependencyandperhapspermanentconstraintsondevelopingcountries’economies），由此可知选项D“付出了经济独立的代价”符合题意。

第5题:观点态度题。文章讨论的主要内容是通信技术对发展中国家的负面影响，作者对此是持否定态度的，因此，选项B“批判的”符合题意。

第5题:B

【解析】1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段，“Then,afterayearofheroicinterventions—brainshunts，tracheotomies,skullremodeling…theHickmanlearnedthattheirtripletshadcerebralpalsy.”，可知三胞胎出生后，他们接受了一系列的医疗干预，比如大脑分流术、气管切开术等等，最终得知三胞胎患有脑瘫。选项D符合题意。

2.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句，“…cerebralpalsy，adisordercausedbydamagetothemotorcentersofthebrain.”，逗号后面是对脑瘫这个名词的解释。选项B符合题意。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句，“Soalthoughtheincidenceofcerebralpalsyseemstobeincreasing(becausetheoddsofpreemiessurvivingaresomuchbetter),sotooarethenumberofsuccessstories.”，括号中由because引导的原因状语从句就是对上一句的原因解释，可知脑瘫的发病率似乎在增加的原因是早产儿存活的几率高。选项B符合题意。

4.细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句,“AmongthefirsttochampionSDRintheU.S.…whohasperformedmorethan800oftheseoperationsandhopestodoanadditional1,000beforeheretires.”，可知Dr.T.S.Park是美国治疗脑瘫疾病中，第一批成功采用SDR手术的人。选项A符合题意。

5.细节理解题。根据第七段最后一句，“Thedorsalrootscausespasticity,andifjusttherightonesaresevered，thesymptomscanbegreatlyreduced.”，上文提到SDR手术的实施过程和原理，本句是这种手术的目的和结果，可知SDR可以大大减少痉挛症状。选项B符合题意。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:B

【解析】1.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“关于神户，下面哪个陈述是正确的？”。第一段最后一句提到ThepeopleofquakeruinedKobe(神户)learnedlastweekhowwrongthatassertionwas.（上周遭受地震灾害的神户人了解到这个宣称错的多么离谱）可知，神户上周发生了地震；结合文章第三段最后一句BoththeKobeandthe1994Northridgequakesoccurredonsmallfaults.（神户地震和1994年的北岭地震都发生在小断层上）可知，A项“上周的地震发生在小断层上”正确；B项“那里的人们相信科学家预测地震的能力”与原文相反；根据倒数第三段最后两句Theymayhaveswayed,butthequakealsounexpectedlyweakenedthejointsintheirsteelskeletons.Iftheshakinghadbeenlongerorstronger,thebuildingsmighthavecollapsed.（它们可能会摇晃，但地震也意外地削弱了它们钢骨架的关节。如果摇晃的时间更长或更强烈，建筑物可能会倒塌。）可知，C项“地震导致建筑物摇晃，而不是倒塌”错误；由文章最后一句话Butitisstillacertaintythatthenextearthquakewillproveonceagainthateveryfaultcannotbemonitored（但可以肯定的是，下一次地震将再次证明，不可能每一个断层都被监测到）可知，D项“可以预测到的是由于更多的研究，每一个断层都可以监测到”表述错误。因此，该题选择A项正确。

2.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。题干意思是“第三段中作者的重点是……”。根据第三段第一句Ifaquakeprecursorwerefound,itwouldstillbeimpossibletowarnhumansinadvanceofalldangerousquakes.（即使发现了地震前兆，也不可能在所有危险的地震之前警告人类）和第三句Itisimpossibletoplacemonitoringinstrumentsonallofthem.（不可能把监测仪器都放在小断层上面）可以推知，想要预测地震是不可能的，因此B项“预测地震的不可能性”正确；A项“需要更多的研究”、C项“更强结构的设计和地震前兆的发现”和D项“建造完全抗震的结构的不可能性”在该段都没有提到。因此，该题选择B项正确。

3.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】细节事实题。题干意思是“在地震中避免损害是不可能的，因为……”。由文章第二段最后一句Quakesstartdeepintheearth,soscientistscan’tstudythemdirectly.（地震发生在地球深处，所以科学家不能直接研究它们）可知，A项“科学家不能直接研究发生在地球深处的地震”正确；由第四段第二句Whileseismicengineeringhasimproveddramaticallyinthepast10to15year,everynewquakerevealsunexpectedweaknessesin“quakeresistant”structures（尽管在过去的10到15年里，地震工程有了显著的进步，但每一次新的地震都揭示出“抗震”结构意想不到的弱点）可知，B项“很难建造完美的抗震结构”正确；由第三段第三句Itisimpossibletoplacemonitoringinstrumentsonallofthem.（不可能把监测仪器都放在小断层上面）可知，C项“仪器不能放置在所有的小断层上”也符合原文。因此，该题选择D项“以上所有”正确。

4.【试题答案】C

【试题解析】推理判断题。题干意思是“这篇文章暗示……”。根据第四段第二句Whileseismicengineeringhasimproveddramaticallyinthepast10to15year,everynewquakerevealsunexpectedweaknessesin“quakeresistant”structures（尽管在过去的10到15年里，地震工程有了显著的进步，但每一次新的地震都揭示出“抗震”结构意想不到的弱点）可知，D项“地震工程已经改进到足以使结构抵御地震”错误；由第五段中的Butengineershavesincefoundhiddenproblemsin120steel-framebuildingsthatsurvived.Suchstructuresaresupposedtoswaywiththeearthratherthancrumple.（但此后工程师们在幸存的120座钢框架建筑中发现了隐藏的问题。这些结构应该随地球摇摆而不是坍塌。）可知，B项“钢框架建筑可以在任何地震中存活下来”也错误；第五段第一句提到well-builtstructuresgenerallydidnotcollapse（建造良好的建筑物通常不会倒塌），但是A项“直立很好的结构不会倒塌”没有提及；由IntheNorthridgeearthquake,ontheotherhand,well-builtstructuresgenerallydidnotcollapse…Theymayhaveswayed,butthequakealsounexpectedlyweakenedthejointsintheirsteelskeletons.Iftheshakinghadbeenlongerorstronger,thebuildingsmighthavecollapsed.（另一方面，在北岭地震中，建造良好的建筑物通常不会倒塌……它们可能会摇晃，但地震也意外地削弱了它们钢骨架的关节。如果摇晃的时间更长或更强烈，建筑物可能会倒塌。）可推断，C项“北岭的建筑物可能会在更强的地震中倒塌”符合题意。因此，该题选择C项正确。

5.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】主旨大意题。题干意思是“这篇文章最好的标题是……”。这篇文章主要讲的是人类就目前的情况而言无法准确预测地震以及无法非常有效的控制地震的问题；A项“自然是人类无法控制的”范围太大，故不选；C项“预测和抑制地震的新方法和更强的结构”太片面；D项“难道我们不能预测地震吗？”不符合文意，故排除；只有B项“地震：我们能控制它们吗？”符合文章的主旨大意。因此，该题选择B项正确。

Thenewspapermustprovideforthereaderthefacts,unalloyed,objectivelyselectedfacts.Butinthesedaysofcomplexnewsitmustprovidemore;itmustsupplyinterpretation,themeaningofthefacts.ThisisthemostimportantassignmentconfrontingAmericanjournalismtomakecleartothereadertheproblemsoftheday,tomakeinternationalnewsasunderstandableascommunitynews,torecognizethatthereisnolongeranysuchthing(withthepossibleexceptionofsuchcarelesswritingsassocietyandclubnews)as“local”news,becauseanyeventintheinternationalareahaslocalreactioninmanpowerdraft,ineconomicstrain,interms,indeed,ofourverywayoflife.

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:C

【解析】1.主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知,本文主要讲的是对新闻的解读,选择事实以及主观和客观的过程都是属于解读新闻的,所以选项A最恰当。

2.细节事实题。根据第四段第二句“Thereportercollects,say,fiftyfacts;outofthesefifty,hisspaceallotmentbeingnecessarilyrestricted,heselectsthetenwhichheconsidersmostimportant.”可知,选项A符合原文。

3.推理判断题。根据原文内容可知,选项A,B,C是记者在原文中明确提及,只有选项D是作者在第四段的时候暗指的。

4.细节事实题。根据第四段“Thenheorhiseditordecideswhichofthesetenfactsshallconstitutetheleadofthepiece.(Thisisanimportantdecisionbecausemanyreadersdonotproceedbeyondthefirstparagraph).”这是一个重要的决定,因为许多读者读完第一段就不会继续读下去了。选项B与原文表述一致。

5.细节事实题。根据最后一段最后两句,如果一个编辑想要歪曲新闻,他可以用其他方法,比解读更有效。他可以通过选择那些支持他借口的事实来做到这一点。或者,他也可以通过他讲述的故事来做到这一点——把它提升到第一页,或者降低到第三十页。选项C符合原文。
