11.B解析：本题涉及到移动手机是否能成为下一代计算机的问题，从而锁定Canthecellphoneturnintothenextcomputer?部分。该部分第一段的前两句提到：Isthemobilehandsetturningintothenextcomputer?Inonesense，italreadyhas。相对于文中的inonesense(就某种意义来说)，题干中的completely扩大了表达范围，因此答案为N。

12.protectpartnersfromAIDSprotectpartnersfromAIDS解析：本题定位信息是Dr.PeterDiot和ARVs，从而将答案出处定位到文章第八段。该段介绍了一组将ARVs用于防止艾滋病传播的试验，目的是为了证明usingARVsbeforeexposuretoHIVmayhavethesameeffectinprotectingpartners。Dr.PeterDiot显然支持这种推测，根据题干语法要求，应将原文中的动名词转换为动词原形。

13.￡132￡132解析：第二张表格列出了“UK,Europe,RestofWorld”．从中可以推断中国应属于“RestofWorld”世界其余的国家。所以中国人订阅这本杂志一年应该付
