【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】数字信息的找寻和判断。题干要求将原文中提到的国家地区按可口可乐的消费量进行排序。原文中提到人均一年可口可乐的消费量时给予了明确的数字信息，即中国农村为每人3罐，上海和北京为每人约60罐，香港是150罐，而美国是420罐。由此可见，选项c的说法符合原文，是正确答案。注意：迅速对数字信息做出反应和判断是解题的关键。

A、 Fractional ownership allows people share the use of highly expensive commodities.
B、 Thanks to "fractional ownership", people can afford luxuries like a super yacht.
C、 Fractional ownership is identical to "time sharing".
D、 Fractional ownership means part of the property right to the buyer.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】语义判断推理。从原文第一句给fractional ownership的定义可知，这种所有权是指对某些昂贵物品享有部分所有权，而不是指"the right to use it for a specified amount of time"即在某一特定时间内使用该物品的权利。由此可知，选项c将部分所有权等同于时间共享的概念是错误的。因此，选项c是正确答案。注意：定义一般由被定义对象所属的类别及主要特征构成，听时要对这几部分内容多加留意，并可做适当的笔记。本题考查被定义对象的主要特征。

A、 A mature technology requires less innovation.
B、 Technical evolution is close to maturation in certain fields.
C、 New types of energy are expected to mature in the near future.
D、 Nanomaterials or photonics and carbon nanotubes are environmentally friendly.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】主旨题。题干要求找出本段关于技术发展的要点内容。根据原文可知技术的发展已不再展示出什么成熟的迹象。在没有出现太大变革的情况下，纳米材料、光子学等对环境有利的新能源材料出现了，新技术的出现不一定非与成熟的工业相伴出现。由此可见，只有选项a的内容与原文相符，因此，该项是正确答案。注意：综合理解语句内容是解题的关键。

A、 Parkinson's always shows the same symptoms on different people.
B、 People inflicted with Parkinson's often have a shaking hand or a stiff hand.
C、 The symptoms of Parkinson's vary among different patients.
D、 Victims of Parkinson's find it difficult to recall what they have eaten for dinner.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】事实细节的找寻和判断。原文第一句谈到"Parkinson's disease can cause a weird variety of different symptoms in different people."即“帕金森症(震颤性麻痹症)在不同的人身上会表现出各种不同的症状。”由此可见，选项c的说法与原文相符，因此，该项是正确答案。注意：掌握词性变化带来的句子结构的改变，如原文中使用variety，题干中使用了vary。

A、 The steel industry still has a bright prospect on a global scene.
B、 Steel consumption in the world registered a drastic cut.
C、 Steel makers are drastically cutting down their production.
D、 Better promotion is needed for improving sales of steel products.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】语义的推理判断。根据原文"Overcapacity and weak demand have hurt producers."即“过度的生产能力和疲软的需求使生产者受挫”及"In 2002, 847 million tons of steel was produced, but consumption was only 765 million tons."由此可见，从前一句的说明和后一句中的数字对比可推断出世界钢铁消费锐减。因此，选项b的说法是正确的。注意：将文中有关信息归类并做出判断有助于正确解题。如将原文weak demand, only 765 million tons归类可发现它们与选项中drastic cut同类。

A、 Summer films might cause mental damage to the audience.
B、 Summer films need to give due respect to the audience's intelligence.
C、 Summer films should cater to both children and grownups.
D、 Summer films should not target at the mass-market.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】观点态度的判断。根据原文可知夏季影片会带来"the atrophying of brain cells"即“脑细胞的萎缩”；而且最后一句表明观众心声时说"viewers who have not sent their brains to summer camp-who want the occasional film to speak to their inner grownup"即 “看夏季电影并不用费脑子，可观众有时也想看看那些能引起内心思考的影片”，由此可见，选项b的说法与原文相符，因此，该项答案是正确的。注意：理解关键短语背后的含义并由此对文章的观点做出判断是解题的关键，如理解原文中两处表示委婉的否定态度的说法：the atrophying of brain cells和want…to speak to their inner grownup。

A、 Cold-War Policies and the Tourism Industry
B、 The Characteristics of Political Tourism
C、 The Rise of Political Tourism
D、 The Latest Developments of Political Tourism

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】主旨题。原文第一句提出"Political tourism first took off in the 1980s…"而后面的各句都是支持性细节，分别从原因、状况和结果等方面进一步介绍说明这种新兴的旅游形式。因此，恰当概括原文中心思想的选项c的内容是正确的。注意：正确识别中心句与支持性细节的关系。

A、 Therapeutic cloning is used mainly for research purposes and therefore should be allowed to continue.
B、 Therapeutic cloning is used for medical purposes and not for reproducing full human beings.
C、 Therapeutic cloning is used for replacing the diseased parts of human organs.
D、 Brain cell can be used in the future to cure the Parkinson's disease.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】语义的判断和推理。原文讨论的主题是therapeutic cloning(用于治疗的克隆技术)，根据原文可知克隆可用于繁殖和治疗，用于治疗的克隆细胞可作为stem cells(干细胞)，由于它与原供应体的DNA一样，所以可以成功用于原供应体的移植。克隆技术对帕金森症的治疗有广阔的前景。由此可见，只有选项a的说法与原文不符，因此，该选项是正确答案。注意：抓住原文中的关键词做出正确的推断，如therapeutic(治疗的)与选项a中research(研究)意思相左。

A、 The WTO ministerial conference held at Cancun is disappointing because the poor countries could not participate in the event.
B、 The Cancun ministerial meeting was intended to create a more open and equitable trading system.
C、 The main objective of the Cancun conference was to help the poorest countries in the world to develop their economy.
D、 Opening up the market in poor countries would have a negative impact on their national economic development.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】语义理解判断。原文第一句提到Cancun部长会议结果颇多，但其中最重要的是对贫困国家产生的影响。接着在第二句点明更开放更公平的贸易制度将对这些国家产生巨大帮助。由此可推测，更开放更公平的贸易制度应该是这次会议的议题。因此，选项b的内容与原文相符，是正确的。注意：正确推断主题是本题的关键。

A、 Highways have been constructed through the jungle to help ease the traffic in the cities.
B、 Jaguars, parrots and deer that once inhabited the jungle have left because me place was getting too hot for them.
C、 The land has been cleared for growing soybeans because it is the most popular Brazilian food.
D、 Fast economic development has brought devastating changes to the natural environment in Brazil.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】语义判断推理。原文描述了亚马逊热带雨林一年来经历的巨大变化。最后一句具体指出这片土地曾经是各种动物的栖息地，而现在却被大量开垦用来种植经济作物。从我们对环境保护的背景知识可推测，这种变化应该是破坏性的。由此可知，选项d的内容与原文意义相符，因而是正确的。注意：对环境保护的背景知识有助于正确解题。
