参考答案

1.A解析：本题的关键词为agreatinfluenceon...和revive，由此可知把本题定位到文中第二段与第四段，在文章的第二段中，顾拜旦肯定了奥运会的影响，文中明确提到了现代奥运会召开的时间：第四段说明了奥运会对希腊文明的影响故本题应为Y。

2.B解析：本题定位信息是fiscalpolicies，涉及财政政策的职权归属。小标题FiscalPolicy下的第二部分末尾提到了财政政策的制定者的相关情况(Fiscalpoliciesaredictatedbycongressandthepresident)。题干表述与文章事实不符，因此答案为N。

3.C解析：文章说明了禁止排放温室效应气体的紧迫性，但是整篇文章并没有提到要建立合法的国际组织以阻止气体排放。因此，此判断与文章无关。

4.B解析：同义转述题。根据原文可知，为了保持与退休前同等水平的生活，你只需花以前花费的80%，而节省下20%，即工作开销的那笔钱。由此可知B为答案。

5.B解析：见GeopoliticalPriority这一部分。美国只有通过伊拉克战争分裂阿拉伯国家才能达到控制这一地区的目的。所以，选项和文章的观点是矛盾的。

6.invisibleinvisible解析：文章列举了一些针对基因改造作物的“暴行”，但是结果是抗议人士的行动适得其反，因为他们所破坏的，全都是传统农作物。究其原因，作者谈到“在每个案例里，那些行动派都把一般作物误认为基因改造过的品种。……可是从某个角度来看，那些作物都是隐形的。植入农作物的基因
