As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.
Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease.They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way.One of the world's great thinkers and scientists,Albert Einstein was dyslexic.Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do.He said that he thought in pictures instead.The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic.Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago.Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled.The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different.In most people,the left side of the brain一 the part that controls language is larger than the right side.In persons with dyslexia,the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference.However,research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.No one knows the cause of dyslexia,but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born.They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help.After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.Many great thinkers and scientists in the world are dyslexic.
A:Right
B: Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：C解析：该题提到数字的问题，所以注意文章中含有数字的句子。文章第一段提到："As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.”美国有多达20％的儿童患有阅读障碍症。问题句中的one out of five的意思是“每五个人中有一个”，即20％的人。
问题句说“世界上许多伟大的思想家和科学家都患有阅读障碍症。”文章第二段仅提到爱因斯坦和爱迪生是阅读障碍症患者，并未讲许多科学家和思想家也有这种情况。因此选C。
利用the first cases作为答案线索词，在第二段找到答案所在句：" Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago.”该句说欧洲和美国在80多年以前首次发现阅读障碍症患者，与问题句The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago吻合。
注意含有“the left side of the brain/the right side of the brain”的句子，可以在第二段找到答案，相关句说：" In persons with dyslexia , the right side of the brain is bigger.”患阅读障碍症的人的右脑比左脑大。所以该题选B。
注意文章中含有“the left handed/the right handed”的句子。找到答案相关句：“…research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.”该句说有研究表明男人比女人更易患阅读障碍症，惯用左手者比惯用右手者更易患阅读障碍症，据此我们可以推断该句子是正确的。
通读全文，根本就找不到关于“婴儿母亲的不良习惯”的信息。况且文章说阅读障碍的成因尚不清楚，因此选C。
根据intelligent和creative，我们在文章最后一句话找到答案相关句：" After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.”该句说解决了语言方面的问题之后，患有阅读障碍症的人往往表现出超人的智慧或创造力。 -
第3题：

第4题：
The scientists are exploring the area in hopes of finding new stores of underground oil,which can serve as an outlet for the energy crisis.A:styles
B:varieties
C:supplies
D:shops答案：C解析：本句意思：科学家们正在对此地区展开探测，他们希望能在这里发现新的地下油田，这 一新的石油供应将解除能源危机。style的意思为“款式，方式”;variety的意思为“种类，类型”; supply的意思为“供应”;shop的意思为“商店”。store虽有“商店”的意思，但在本句中它的意思 为“储存，供应”，和supply意思接近。 -
第5题：

第6题：
单选题Advertisement: The most flavorful olives in the world are kalamata olives. The more kalamata olives used to make a bottle of olive oil, the more flavorful the oil, and no company buys more kalamata olives than Zorba’s Olive Oil. Therefore, when you buy Zorba’s Olive Oil, you’re buying the most flavorful olive oil available today. The reasoning presented in the advertisement is flawed because it overlooks the possibility that:ANot all of Zorba’s competitors use kalamata olives in their oil.
BZorba’s sells more olive oil than any other company.
CThe most flavorful olive oil is not necessarily the best olive oil.
DBecause of bulk discounts, Zorba’s pays less per kilogram of kalamata olives than does its competitors.
EThe number of kalamata olives harvested every year is far less than the number of Spanish olives harvested every year.
正确答案： B解析：
推理过程中只强调Zorba公司购买卡拉马塔橄榄油的总量多，但是不能确定其每瓶油中橄榄油的量，故本题应选B项。 -

由文中第二段第二句话可知，医生和别的患者父母认为Lorenzo父母的行为是“浪费时间”，B项为正确选项。 -
第11题：
单选题Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because _____.Athey had never treated the disease before
BLorenzo was too young to be cured
Cno cure had been found for ALD
DALD was a rare disease
正确答案： B解析：
细节题。为什么医生断定Lorenzo三年内会死亡？由文中第一段第二句话可知，医生解释说“there was no cure for ALD”，目前还没有治愈ALD的药。C项直接引用，意思与之相同，故为正确答案。他们之前不是没有治过这种病，只是没有治好，A项错误。B项只是说他太年轻，这种病一直无法治愈，跟他是否年轻没有关系。D项只是陈述了该病罕见这一事实，并没有说明死亡的原因。 -

正确答案： D解析：
推断判断题。由题干Genomicists and plant scientists定位至第二段。由本段末句中to figure out the species with the best biofuel potential and how to wring more energy out of each acre planted可知他们要找到最好的潜在生物燃料种类以及怎样从每亩田当中得到更多的能量。可推断D符合题意，正确；文中是wring more energy而不是converting sugars,process cellulose, increase the oil content故排除A、B和C。 -

Natural Medicines
Since earliest days,humans have used some kinds of medicines.We know this because hu-mans have survived .Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep hu-mans from dying out completely.
They were successful long before the time of modern medicine.Before the time of doctors with white coats and shiny（发亮的）instruments. Before the time of big hospitals with strange and wonderful equipment.
Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors.Nor do they have ex- pensive hospitals.Yet injuries are treated.And diseases are often cured.How?By ancient meth- ods. By medicines that might seem mysterious, even magical（有魔力的）.Traditional medicines are neither mysterious nor magical,however.
Through the centuries, tribal（部落的）medicine men experimented with plants. They found many useful chemicals in the plants.And scientists believe many of these traditional medicines may provide the cure for some of today's most serious diseases.
Experts say almost 80%of the people in the world use plants for health care.These natural medicines are used not just because people have no other form of treatment.They are used be-cause people trust them.In developed areas,few people think about the source of the medicines they buy in a store.Yet many widely-used medicines are from ancient sources,especially plants. Some experts say more than 25%of modern medicines come,in one way or another,from nature.
Scientists have long known that nature is really a chemical factory.All living things contain chemicals that help them survive .So scientists' interest in traditional medicine is not new.But it has become an urgent concern.This is because the earth's supply of natural medicines may be dropping rapidly.It is believed by scientists that traditional medicines______.

Bcalling hearings into BP’s maintenance practices

Dtaking measures to reduce oil consumption in the state
正确答案： D解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。关于阿拉斯加州长对Pmdhoe Bay油田关闭所采取的措施，录音首句指出其imposed a state hiring freeze，对应选项A。而该州长同时表示他将会support hearings into BP’s maintenance practices，与选项B表达内容相一致。接着录音中提到该州长会让阿拉斯加州的检察总长investigate whether the state could hold the oil giant fully accountable for the state’s losses，即调查该石油巨头是否应对本州损失负所有的责任，因此选项A也正确。可见，唯有D项的内容在文中未被提及。
