LONDON —A British judge on
Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的）bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison,
saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James
McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors — which were
based on a kind of golf ball finder — to countries including Iraq, Belgium and
Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57，was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and
sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in
selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a
false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to
causing death and injury to innocent people,’’ Judge Richard Hone told
McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up
to $ 42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs
under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in
science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the
court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong
Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad
results from customers,” he said.
39. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A. He sold bombs.&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. He caused death of people.
C. He made detectors.&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. He cheated in business.
40. According to the judge, what McCormick had done
________ .
A. increased the cost of
safeguarding
B. lowered people’s guard
against danger
C. changed people’s idea
of social security
D. caused innocent people
to commit crimes
41. Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A. They have not been sold
to Africa.
B. They have caused many
serious problems.
C. They can find dangerous
objects in water.
D. They don't function on
the basis of science.
42. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick
_________ .
A. sold the equipment at a
B. was well-known in most
C. did not think he had
committed the crime
D. had not got such huge
profit as mentioned in the text
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，题材是新闻报道。本文报道了一条卖假冒炸弹探测器的商人被判10年徒刑的新闻。
关键词、句
第一部分（Para. 1-3）
McCormick, 57，was convicted
of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London
新闻案件的简介：57岁的McCormick上月被起诉诈骗并于周三在伦敦的Old Bailey
court法庭被判刑。
第二部分（Para. 4）
cheating conduct,
promoted a false sense of security, contributed to causing death and injury
to innocent people
法官宣判：罪犯的欺骗行为增强了人们虚假的安全感并促使导致给无辜百姓带来死亡和伤害。
第三部分（Para. 5-7）
But in fact
they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use, sold…to… , never
had any bad results
案件细节及当事人的反诉：假冒炸弹探测器被销往世界各地，但它根本没有科学依据，也毫无用处。罪犯狡辩假冒产品没有给用户带来任何不良后果。
39. D。细节理解题。难度：中等。问题是“为什么McCormick被判刑入狱”。根据问题中的关键词sentenced to
prison定位原文第一段。第一段说到McCormick是一位商人，生产了假冒的炸弹探测器，这是一种商业欺骗。选项D和其对应，为正确答案。
40. B。细节理解题。难度：难。问题是“根据法官的说法，McCormick的所为导致了什么样的结果”。根据问题中的关键词according to the
judge定位第四段的第一句：your cheating conduct … promoted a false sense of
security and … contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people（你的欺骗行为提高了人们虚假的安全感并助推给无辜百姓带来死亡和伤害）。由此可见，McCormick的行为让人们有了安全感，但这种安全并不真实。B “降低了人们防范危险的安全意识”符合此意，为正确答案。
41. D。判断题。难度：难。问题是“下面哪种说法对探测仪来说是正确的”。
解题思路：根据问题中的关键词detectors，把四个选项具体对应到原文中一处。A对应文章倒数第二段的最后一句he sold his
detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong
Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand。该句中的Kenya是非洲的肯尼亚，否定了A的说法。B对应第一段第一句“the man hadn’t
cared about potentially deadly consequences”，法官只说罪犯没有关注潜在的致命后果，而不是已经导致严重的问题。C对应第五段的第一句话“were said to be
able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air”提示，探测仪的功能只是据说，而不一定真的具备找到水中危险物品的功能。选项D定位第五段的最后一句“in fact they
‘lacked any grounding in science’ and were of no use可知，这种探测仪没有科学根据，也毫无用途，和D“没有科学根据的工作原理”相吻合，故最佳答案是D。
42. D。推理判断题。难度：中等。
解题思路：返回原文，将选项与原文一一进行比较。
本题主要考查第四段和第七段。A“以低价销售设备”与原文第四段第一句不符，因为该句提到法官指控McCormick通过卖一些无用的设备来巨额利润。B“在大多数国家很有名”与文中提到的区区几个国家和地区Iraq，Belgium，Saudi Arabia，Kenya，Hong Kong，Egypt和Thailand购买他的探测仪不符。C“认为他没有犯罪”和第七段对应，其中他所说的“I never had any
bad results from customers”和C符合，Ｃ是正确答案。Ｄ“他没有赚取文中提到的那么大利润”在原文没有语言根据。

13【题文】“Hurry, Mommy! Let’s go trick-or-treating!” My daughter waited by the door in her pink princess skirt while I
prayed in the living room. Usually I liked taking her out on Halloween, but this
year I was sad. I was worried about my mother, who was in China on vacation.
I got a call that afternoon that she had slipped and fallen on the hard floor
of her hotel and broken her leg. She was taken to a hospital in Beijing. Mom
was nervous because she couldn’t understand any of the doctors. If only I could do something to
I knew I couldn’t let my worries spoil my
daughter’s fun.
There was nothing I could do for Mom except pray, I thought. We left the
house and went down the block. I was so upset that I hardly took notice of
the kids around me. There came the man to whose son I’d once given piano lessons. “Hello there,” I said, greeting him and the
boy at his side.
“Hello,” the father answered. “Having fun?”“I’m trying,” I said. “Why, what’s wrong?” he asked. I told him the
whole story. “My
mother, in China, broke her leg and didn’t understand any of the doctors. And I’m too far away to do
anything!” I
He raised his eyebrows. “Beijing, you said?” he asked. I nodded. He
smiled. “Believe
it or not, my sister is a doctor at an English-speaking hospital there. If
you want, I’ll
make a call right away and we’ll try and get your mom transferred (转移).”
A few days later I sat in the living room
with my daughter as she finished the last of the candy. “Mommy, how far away is China?” she asked. “Not as far as I thought,” I said.

14【题文】It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that
means snow. Maybe even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or
remove it, snow can be very beautiful. When snow covers everything around
you, the world looks like a “winter wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard
Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of
recordings of this happy song.
But winter is not always such a beautiful
and happy time. It’s cold outside. You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and
shorter. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people
are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and pretty—like the state of California.
The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous song “California Dreaming”.
During the 1960s, many other famous rock
groups released songs about winter. Here is a poetic song by Simon and
Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope and possibilities.
In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears
recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and
forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.
In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and
recorded the beautiful song called “Winter”. She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.
Finally, on a happier note comes this
song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a
snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual there. But instead of being
sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about it.
49. The underlined sentence “For some areas, that means
snow.” probably means&
A．In some areas, when it’s winter, it must snow
B．In some areas, it often snows in winter
C．In some areas, it’s important to snow
D．In some areas, people like snow in winter
50. According to the second paragraph,
winter is _____ .
A．beautiful and happy
B．happy and warm
C．lovely and hopeful
D．cold and sad
51.Which of the songs can bring us hope
A．Winter Wonderland.
B．California Dreaming.
C．A Hazy Shade of Winter.
D．Sometimes in Winter.
52.What does the passage mainly talk
A．Winter in different areas.
B．Different ideas about winter.
C．Songs about winter.
D．Winter is cold but happy.

15【题文】A number of scientific studies have suggested that repeatedly
heading a football could increase the risk of developing dementia (痴呆症) in later life.
In 2002, former England international
footballer Jeff Astle died aged 59. A coroner (验尸官) said that Astle died from a brain disease
likely to have been caused by “repeated small damages to the brain” related to heading a heavy leather football.
Dr. Scott Delaney, research director of
emergency medicine at McGill University Health Center in Montreal, Canada,
has also researched soccer-related head injury and agrees that head-to-head
or elbow-to-head blows are the real risk.
In 2007, Delaney carried out a study on
footballers aged between 12 and 17 that showed they were half as likely to be
concussed (使脑部受到震荡) wearing headgear (帽) than without.
He said youngsters have a higher risk of
head injury than adults because their heads are thinner and less able to
absorb shock. To make matters worse, their neck muscles aren’t as well developed and they
often lack the correct heading technique that can help throw away the force
of the ball.
Delaney recommends that children wear
headgear when playing football and says his two eldest children wear head
protection playing the sport. But he admits that children can be unwilling to
be the first to wear head protection—especially when their football heroes play without it.
While headgear can protect footballers
from being concussed during a match, no one knows the long-term effects of
repeated “sub-concussive” blows to the head.
Delaney says that while there is indirect
evidence that a career in soccer can lead to dementia, no one has yet found a
sure link between the two. He says proving a link would mean monitoring
hundreds of footballers for three or four decades—and that would take a lot of
57.Which might be the best title of the
A．Playing football may lead to brain damage.
B．Repeated small damages to the brain.
C．Footballers should wear headgear when playing. .
D．Evidence to dementia.
58.According to Delaney’s research, what is the most
risky injuries to head?
A．Long-term effects of blows.
B．Wearing head protection.
C．Underdeveloped neck muscles.
D．Head-to-head or elbow-to-head blows.
59. Children are unwilling to wear
headgear because they think _____ .
A．headgear is harmful to their heads
B．headgear influences their skills
C．they should follow their idols
D．they mustn’t lead the fashion
60.It can be inferred from the last
paragraph that _____ .
A．Delaney has studied dementia for three or four decades
B．few footballers would like to be studied in the research
C．funding is important in order to carry out the research.
D．no one can find the link between playing football and dementia

activities.
At 2:00 p.m., we went to the neighboring
community to hand out leaflets, calling on people to save water. Around 3 o’clock, the expert we invited
gave an excellent speech on the current water crisis in China. He talked
about the drought in the Southwest and the severe shortage of water in our
city. The speech had a strong appeal to all the people present, including me.
After the speech, we had a discussion
with our neighbors about various ways of saving water in our daily life. I
suggested turning off the water tap immediately after using it, and a granny
came up with the ideas of reusing the water from kitchen, for example, the
water after washing fruits and vegetables can be used to water flowers and so
Today, I have had a better understanding
of the importance of saving water and really learnt a lot about saving water.

Your mobile phone rings,and instead of usual electronic signals,it’s playing your favorite music.A friend sends your favorite song to cheer you up.One day,a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone
The mobile business is getting into the music business.For the moment,the interest is in pleasant ring tones,but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones-all-purpose gadgets that blend phone,personal stereo,video player and Internet browser into one.
Finally,record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.
The fans could pass music or songs along to friends—a kind of musical trading card.Unlike Internet tracks,mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control,said former record industry official Ralph Simon,who is now chairman of your mobile,based in Santa Monic,California.
“If you pass a song along to other phones through a network,each phone can be charged,” said Simon.“It’s like going through a toll gate（收费站）.There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”
Massachusetts-based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends.Finally,people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along.The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.
“A mobile phone is not a listening machine,and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it to a radio,”said Ohad Ouziel,a creative manager for Converse in Israel.“But if someone sends you a song while you’re on vacation,you appreciate the feeling.”
