单选题According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?AThe current deal is scheduled to be completed within half a year.
BWhat Toshiba buys is a nuclear power supplier.
CThe purchased corporation is headquartered in Pennsylvania.
DNew nuclear plants are likely to be built in India by Toshiba.
正确答案： A解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。录音首句便指出东芝公司正在购买nuclear plant builder Westinghouse Electric，可知其购买的是核电站建造公司Westinghouse Electric，而非选项B所提到的a nuclear power supplier（核能供应商）。因此选B。
【录音原文】
Japanese electronics maker Toshiba said Monday that it was buying nuclear plant builder Westinghouse Electric, the US-based unit of the British government’s British Nuclear Fuels, for US $5.4 billion.
Toshiba Chief Executive Atsutoshi Nishida said that while the price might seem quite high, Toshiba had a lot of competition for the company and that the future growth and profit potential of the business made it the correct price.
“By 2020 the market for nuclear power generation is expected to grow 50 percent compared to 2005,” Nishida said at a London news conference. “Toshiba is responding to this challenge by acquiring Westinghouse.”
Upon completion of the acquisition, Toshiba expects its nuclear power business to expand to three times the current level by 2015 as a result of operational and technological synergies, Toshiba said in a statement.
Toshiba expects to close the deal within six months and is not expecting regulatory troubles, Nishida said. Westinghouse will keep its headquarters in Pennsylvania, as well as its equipment, employees and trademarks, he said.
Toshiba, which makes electronic goods including DVD players, semiconductors, electric motors and power systems, is preparing for an expected surge of new investment in power plants in China, India and the US.
Westinghouse, which has built most of the nuclear reactors in the United States, is likely to design the plant and service them when they come online. -

单选题Passage 2Last year I lived in Chile for half a year as an exchange student with the American Field Service. Compared to most visitors,I didn't travel much.

There were lost dogs on the streets, and a constant cloud of brick-colored dust came from the mine. There was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and litle to do for amusement.

Being an exchange student is not easy.As time passed, everything changed.I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food.I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain.I learned how to accept as well as to succeed in another culture.I now know the world is my community and have a much deeper understanding of both myself and others.On arriving in Chile, the author felt frightened because________.Ahe couldn't get used to working so hard as Chileans did

Anxious observers will have to wait until later in the month to confirm which parts of the euro area’s giant economy are losing the most steam. But it is likely that both French consumers and German exporters, the euro area’s twin-stroke engine of growth in the first half of the year, have misfired since. -
