Honda's overseas production increased 10.8% compared with 2004 to 2,147,997. It marked the ninth consecutive year that volumes exceeded the previous year. Worldwide output jumped 7.2% to 3,409,991, also the ninth straight year of gains. Production in Japan increased 1.6% in 2005 to 1,261,994, due largely to a rise in output for exports. Honda's sales in Japan totaled 714, 030 units last year, a 3.9% decline from 2004, due to decreased demand for minivehicles, passenger cars and light trucks. [分析] 数字信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键的数字信息2005可定位到原文Worldwide output jumped 7.2％ to 3，409，991... 由此可见，选项B的数字与原文相符，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据题干的关键词，将听的重点放在相关的数字信息处。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] Olive oil is a staple in the diet of Mediterranean countries. It is not only used in cooking, but also used liberally mixed with vinegar as a dressing, and even with cracked black pepper as a dipping sauce for foccacia bread. 40 years ago, when researching the Greeks living on the island of Crete, researchers were amazed by the results. Despite the high fat content in the traditional Greek diet, the residents of the island had an exceptionally low occurrence of heart disease. This led researchers to examine the diets of the Greek people to try to figure out what factors contribute to this low rate of heart disease. Their conclusion? Olive oil! [分析] 词汇的理解和判断。 关于橄榄油的用途，原文提到It is... also used liberally mixed with vinegar as a dressing，即橄榄油也可和醋混合制成调料。显然B项的说法“人们可使用橄榄油和醋来装扮自己”与原文不符。 [解题关键] 注意某些单词的各种词形变化形式意义不同。如本题中dress up 意思是“装扮”，而dressing的意思则是“调料，调味酱”。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] Prompted by the oil crises of the 1970s, a wind-power industry flourished briefly in the United States. But then world oil prices dropped, and funding for research into renewable energy was cut. By the mid-1980s US interest in wind energy as large-scale source of energy had almost disappeared. The development of wind power at this time suffered not only from badly designed equipment, but also from poor long-term planning, economic projections that were too optimistic and the difficulty of finding suitable locations for the wind turbines. [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 题干要求弄清楚20世纪80年代美国风能产业走弱的原因。根据原文Prompted by the oil crises of the 1970s，a wind-power industry flourished briefly in the United States．But then world oil prices dropped，and funding for research into renewable energy was cut. 20世纪70年代的石油危机使风能产业兴盛，而后来油价的下降使得用于可再生能源的研究基金被削减。由此可推测，风能的研究因此受到影响，势头减弱。因此A的说法“因为20世纪70年代的石油危机”与原文不符。 [解题关键] 掌握表示转折关系的信号词，如本题中根据but判断其前后的句子含义，可帮助推测出正确的因果关系。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] There are two primary ways that genes can be used to treat disease. The first is gene therapy, in which one or more genes are injected into the patient to replace those that are absent or not working properly. This approach has been used to treat heart disease and many forms of cancer. The second way to exploit genes to treat disease is known as small-molecule therapy. In this approach, a small-molecule (that is a drug) is given to the patient to modify the function of one or more genes in the body. [分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。 该段落首先交代基因用于治疗疾病的方式主要有两种，接着具体介绍：一种是gene therapy，另一种就是题干中提到的small-molecule therapy；根据题干要求，定位到相关信息It this approach，a small-molecule(that is a drug)is given to the patient to modify the function of one or more genes in the body即在患者身上使用微分子来改善身体中一种或更多种基因的功能。由此可判断c的说法与原文相符，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 把握表示次序的信号词和分类信息，注意相关内容，有助于正确解题。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] There are two very important things you must do as an investor -- before any of your hard-earned money leaves your hand -- and that is to research and to study. You must research the financial pages of your local newspaper as well as the Wall Street Journal, and any other publications you can get your hands on. Decide which stocks are affordable, are performing well, and have a good track record. Visit your local library and study all the information you can find on the stocks you are considering buying into. Find out what plans for expansion the companies have. Study the market and find out as much valuable information as you can about each company. [分析] 事实细节的找寻和判断。 段落首先点明主题，投资者有两件重要的事需要做，那就是研究和学习。然后具体指导投资者应研究和学习的内容。除选项C“向投资专家咨询”的内容外，其它选项的内容均与原文相关部分吻合，因此C项是正确答案。 [解题关键] 注意文中排比句式的使用，该结构是典型的支持性细节，用来进一步说明主题。该题中使用了若干祈使句，而各选项内容均与某一祈使句对应。
