35、e 解析： Nuclear energy is released at the suns center as high energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only of very much shorter wavelength.比较结构的理解。本题要求听者分辨清所比较之物及其对比关系。原文谈到 Nuclear energy(核能)时，将其解释为 high energy gamma radiation(高能伽马辐射)，像光波和无线电波一样属于一种光磁射线，
36、只是其波长更短一些。由此可见，题干说光波和无线电波的波长短得多的说法是错误的。注意：正确理解句子结构。(2).The speaker believes that a practical solution to the problem of starvation is to remove obstacles to adequate supply of food rather than to increase production of it.（分数：0.10）A.True B.False解析： Hunger is not caused by a global scarcity of food.
37、The world can easily produce enough to feed everyone, without any government support. When people go hungry, it is because they do not have access to food sometimes for reasons of war or politics, most often because of poverty.因果关系判断。关于饥谨问题，文章认为“Hunger is not caused by a global scarcity of food”即“饥饿
38、不是由于全球粮食匮乏造成的”，而且进一步说“it is because they do not have access to foodsometimes for reasons of war or politics，most often because of poverty”即“饥饿问题是因为人们由于战争、政治、贫穷等原因而无法得到食物”，显然文章认为饥谨问题与粮食供应的畅通与否有关。因此，题干说解决饥谨问题需要消除粮食供应的障碍而非提高粮食产量的说法是正确的。 注意：掌握表因果关系的信号词，如文中“not caused”，“because”等。(3).According to the spe
39、aker, it is foolish and childish for a filmmaker to mix his preconceptions with objective truth when he produces a documentary.（分数：0.10）A.TrueB.False 解析： A documentary is an arrangement of non-fictional films, structured to support the preexisting ideas of the filmmaker. Only the terminally stupid a
40、nd the childishly innocent imagine that anyone making a documentary film aspires to objective truth.观点态度的找寻和判断。关于 documentary(记录片)，文章认为这种影片“structured to support the preexisting ideas of the filmmaker”即“就是要迎合支持制片商的先入之见”，文章还认为只有愚蠢、幼稚的制片商才会使记录片“aspires to objective truth”即 “追求客观事实”。由此可见，题干认为记录片是制片商“mi
41、x his preconceptions with objective truth”即“将其先入之见和客观事实融合”的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。 注意：掌握同义词的替换。如文中 preexisting idea 与题干中 preconception同义。(4).In Japanese party politics, the Liberal Democrats are more prone to stand by their principles than their conservative and nationalist counterparts.（分数：0.10）A.TrueB.Fal
42、se 解析： Too often, Japans conservative and nationalist leaders have managed to spot the forces of change more quickly than their liberal domestic counterparts, and have used those changes to seize the advantages and preserve their power.比较结构的理解。本题要求将conservative and nationalist leaders 和 liberal demo
43、crats 的政治立场进行比较。根据原文“Japans conservative and nationalist leaders have managed to spot the forces of change more quickly than their liberal domestic counterparts”即“日本保守党和民族主义者比自民党更能发现变化的力量”，由此可知，自民党不能很快地发现变化的力量，但与题干所言自由民主党更倾向于遵守其原则含义不相符，因此题干的说法是错误的。 注意：掌握词语的概念。the forces of change(变化的力量)的概念与 principl
44、es(原则)不相同。(5).The author believes that, given the similarities between pig and human organs, future technology will allow pig livers to be transplanted to humans.（分数：0.10）A.True B.False解析： As a super hero in her own right, Xena is a female piglet cloned from fetal-pig skin cells. She may prove to be
45、 more than the latest addition to the biotech clone farm. Because of similarities between porcine and human organs, the techniques that made Xena may eventually create a supply of genetically modified pig livers that would be acceptable to the human immune system.语义逻辑推理判断。原文认为“Because of similaritie
46、s between porcine and human organs，the techniques that made Xena may eventually create a supply of genetically modified pig livers that would be acceptable to the human immune system”即“鉴于猪和人的器官有相似性，创造了 Xena 的技术必将创造出可以为人类免疫系统接受的转基因猪肝脏”，由此可推断由于猪和人内脏器官有相似性，未来技术将会使得猪的肝脏移植到人身上。因此，题干的说法是正确的。 注意：同义词替换。本题需掌
47、握 porcine 与题干中 pig 同义。(6).Bioinformatics is a new computer software technology that makes research findings on genetic engineering publicly available to the public.（分数：0.10）A.True B.False解析： Bioinformatics is the name given to the computer software technologies that are being devised to manage infor
48、mation overload. The field includes everything from storage to classification, analysis and distribution of gene and protein sequence data. Bioinformatics tools have moved genetic research out of the laboratory and transferred it to computer databases for use by anyone with access to the Internet.定义
49、及细节的理解。通过原文定义可知bioinformatics 是一种计算机软件技术，其特点之一是“move genetic research out of the laboratory and transferred it to computer databases for use by anyone with access to the Internet”即“将基因研究搬出实验室，将其转移到计算机数据库，可以让能够上网的任何人使用”，由此可见，题干的说法是正确的。 注意：1)掌握英语定义结构特点，即先归类后指出主要特点；2)掌握词组 with access to 的含义。(7).Imports from Asian countries are more competitive than U.S. home-made products because of lower wages in Asia and the exemption of duties for imported goods shipped to the Unit
