23、tantly, it fosters the kind of forward-thinking team spirit that Toyota is seeking. While Fl benefited greatly from the added prestige of having such a distinguished newcomer among its competitors, the demands placed on Panasonic Toyota Racing last year revealed the shortcomings of not having enough

24、 experience as a team.

30、the early 1800s, when Samuel Hahnemann described how very tiny doses of a drug had an effect on his patients. According to Hahnemann, the more the drug was diluted, the stronger its effects.

36、 traffic lights alongside care with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving. The psychologists invited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on almost the same driving tasks under three

37、 noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a 55 decibels, and the same music at 85 decibels. For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a screen operating a simple machine like a car. On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both

38、 the loud and quiet music conditions, the performers “braked“ at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all.

41、选项而选择 C。 【知识模块】 短文 10 【听力原文】 Until recently, the “science of the future“ was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence.

42、and genetic engineering. This combination is the science of biotechnology. Organic chemistry enables us to produce excellent materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to

43、 produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects.

48、that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture ”由此可以断定正确答案是 C。 【知识模块】 短文 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 事实判断题。在文章的最后我们可以听到 “we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources Coal， oil and gas are indeed convenient ”尽管文章巾没有明确指出 solar power是 renewable power，但是我们根据常识
