正确答案: C
解析:
细节推导题。文章第四段首句指出“Like any alternative fuel, methanol has its critics”,可知接下来要讲的就是methanol“甲醇”的不足之处,第二句提到“Yet much of the criticism is based on the use of “gasoline clone” vehicles that do not incorporate even the simplest design improvements that are made possible with the use of methanol.”即作者认为人们觉得甲醇有问题是因为所基于的假设,A项正确。

    推断题。由最后一段可知:对辐射的定期监管杂乱无章、支离破碎,且没有连续性,而且这些监管的特点有互相推诿和官僚主义导致的延误等。故本题选B。参考译文:辐射有三种自然来源:环境中的放射性物质,如土壤、岩石或建筑材料,宇宙射线,以及人体内的物质,如骨骼中的放射性钾以及组织中的放射性碳。这些来源使美国人每年暴露在大约100毫雷姆的辐射下。人造辐射的最大单一来源是医用X射线,虽然大多数科学家认为,医用X射线造成的危害远没有武器试验产生的放射尘的危害大,因为锶90和碳14会融合到体内,而这种辐射会伴随人的一生。然而,这种看法绝不是没有争议的。近20年来人们进行了大量的测试,关于低水平辐射影响的争议也从未间断,这开始于1958年联合国科学委员会原子辐射影响研究小组发布的一项报道,该小组在报道中称“即使是最小量的辐射也可能造成有害基因或躯体效应”。英国的一项调查证实,曾用X射线治疗脊椎关节炎的病人感染癌症的概率异常得高。另一项研究显示,如果母亲接受了产前骨盆X射线辐射,孩子患癌症的概率会非常高。这些研究表明,人类有必要重新审视这一假设:即接触低线性能量转移后,罹患癌症的风险也很小。近日,为生产专用于核武器的钚的西海岸工厂的已故员工们做的一次死亡证明表明,这些人死于胰腺癌、骨髓癌和淋巴系统癌的概率远高于正常人群。虽然美国国家科学学术委员会将这种差异归因于化学因素或其他环境因素而不是辐射,但是其他科学家依然认为,任何辐射接触,无论多小,都会增加患癌症的风险。一些科学家认为,一雷姆的剂量如果持续多代的话,婴儿出生时患有严重基因缺陷的风险会增加1个百分点,也有可能导致每百万个新生儿中就有1 000个基因紊乱。同时,定期监管杂乱无章、支离破碎,且没有连续性,而且这些监管具有互相推诿和官僚主义导致的延误等特点。一份参议院的报告总结称,管辖权的争议和混乱使得相关部门和机构共同监管、协调参与变得不太可能。一家联邦机构在努力获得足够的资金和人力以加强执行现有辐射法律方面一直未成功,而专门为发展协调一致的联邦项目而建立的专家组主席也辞职了。

    The author of the text suggests that psychohistorians view history primarily as ______.
    A

    a report of events, causes, and effects that is generally accepted by historians but which is, for the most part, unverifiable

    B

    an episodic account that lacks cohesion because records of the role of childhood, work, and leisure in the lives of historical figures are rare

    C

    D

    a record the way in which a closed set of immutable psychological laws seems to have shaped events

    解析:
    细节题。文章第三段第三句提到But this pragmatic use of psychology is not what psychohistorians intend“这种对心理学的实用主义的应用不是历史心理学家想要的”,可知接下来要说的即是他们所用的方法,本段第五句提到Psychohistory derives its “facts” not from history … but from psychoanalysis of the individuals who made history, and deduces its theories not from this or that instance in their lives, but from a view of human nature that transcends history,即心理历史学家是通过分析那些创造历史的人以及人的本性上来看的。D项“一系列塑造事件的不变的心理学规律”,这里“塑造事件的”即指的“创造历史的人”,“心理学规律”即是“人的本性”,因此D项正确。
