Six people had to move away from their home to another place after a fire broke out in a building on Main Street Saturday,officials said.Firefighters responded to the three-story building shortly after 1 p.m.for a reported structure fire,according to Norwalk Deputy Fire ChiefAdam Markowitz.
Markowitz said crews encountered heavy smoke coming from the second floor when they arrived.A team of about 25 firefighters then spent about 25 minutes extinguishing the flames.Officials described the structure as a mixed-use building that features commercial businesses on the first floor and residential on the second and third floors.
Town records list four apartments in the building.[1] Due to smoke and heat damage,the four apartments were declared uninhabitable,and the six residents had to move to another place,officials said.No injuries were reported in connection with the fire.[2] The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire.

Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
【听力原文】
A new study has cast doubt on historic research suggesting that the season or month of someone’s birth is associated with an increased risk of certain mental health conditions.The study looks at symptoms of anxiety and depression among more than 70,000 older adults in Europe.[3] Anumber of past studies have found the link between season of birth and mental health diagnoses.
Researchers have suggested that such links could arise from various things.These include nutrient intake,sun exposure,climate,and disease exposure varying across the course of the year.However,evidence has been mixed. More recent studies have suggested that factors such as social class or economic background have more to do with these diagnoses than month of birth.
[4] Overall,the new study found no significant relationship between participants’month of birth and symptoms of depression or anxiety.There was some variability in some countries.In Poland,depressive symptoms fluctuated a little depending on birth month.In the Czech Republic,the same was true of anxiety symptoms.But on the whole,there was no systematic pattern.

新闻开头部分提到，一条致命的蛇在逃离动物园后终于被找到，但它又第二次溜走了。新闻接下来详细描述这条蛇两次逃离的细节：第一次逃跑后，这条蛇经过工作人员六天的拼命搜寻后终于被找到，并被安置在一个据说安全的区域，但是它再一次出逃。直到新闻最后都没有提及这条蛇是否再次被找到，所以选项 B为正确答案，同时排除选项C 。选项A错误，新闻中提到，这条毒蛇第一次逃跑并被找到后，被安置在一个安全的地方，而这并不是当下这条蛇的境况，故排除。选项D错误，新闻中提到，这条毒蛇第一次逃跑后，动物园经过六天的搜寻终于找到了它，而根据新闻所述，这条蛇被安置后又再次出逃，可见D 项的说法不准确，故排除。

Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
【听力原文】
Genetic researchers in China have made a clone of a star police dog.The clone was born in a laboratory in Beijing in December.Tests show that the clone and her mother are almost identical genetically.The mother dog helped solve multiple murders and many other crimes.[5] The clone has already performed better than traditionally bred dogs on several tests.
[6] lf the clone continues to perform as well as expected, it could mean a huge reduction in the training time for police dogs, which usually takes about five years. The ultimate goal of scientists is to produce clones of talented police dogs that can be trained in months instead of years. [7] However, this goal is not yet possible due to the current costs of the technology.
This is not the first time a clone has been made of a star police dog.In South Korea,six clones began working with the police in 2008.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
【听力原文】
Supporters call it"wild camping";opponents call it"illegal camping".What both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the past few months,with increasing numbers of visitors pitching their tents on any bit of land they fancy in the UK.[16] In part,this reflects the fact that official campsites have been wholly or partially closed,or are overflowing in a summer when fewer people are going abroad.It is also cheap,at a time when many are worried about what the economic future holds.But it may also be an expression of a desire for going outdoors—a response to the months of lockdown.
Most of the coverage of the boom in wild camping has been negative.[17] Camping in public parks has now been banned for August and the early part of September because campers dump litter,human waste,and even their tents on the grassland.Similar action has been taken even in Scotland,where camping is usually permitted on most of its open land.
Clearly there have to be rules.It would make sense that wild campers need to ask for permission to camp from landowners,especially outside Scotland,where the law is far more restrictive.[18] It would be common sense for people to use small tents and leave no trace of their visit.They have been attracted by a patch of land this close to wilderness,and it is their responsibility to keep it that way.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
【听力原文】
Imagine boating down the Amazon River,minding your own business—calmly keeping an eye out for alarmingly large snakes—and a curious pink dolphin appears to swim alongside.[19] While this may seem like a mythical creature,pink dolphins do exist in the Amazon region.
The Amazon river dolphin is a giant among its species.It can measure up to 2 meters long and weigh around 204 kilograms.Size isn’t the only thing that sets the Amazon river dolphin apart.Thriving in South American rivers and temporary lakes caused by seasonal flooding,this freshwater dolphin is sometimes shockingly pink.
Although born gray,males of the species are easily identified as they enter adulthood by a decisive pink shade. [20] Their unusual coloring is believed to be the result of scar tissue from dolphin fights-whether playfighting or a serious bid for a mate.The deeper the pink,the more attractive the males are believed to be,and the older the male,the more pink it will have.
There’s also a theory that this color helps the dolphins more readily blend in with their surroundings.During heavy rains,rivers along the Amazon rainforest turn a pink shade,and with it male dolphins are harder to detect.[21] The Amazon wetland system,fed by the Amazon River,is a crucial place for pink dolphins to breed,and since 2018 has been granted internationally protected status.

根据文章内容，当我们可以克服极限运动中的身体或心理挑战时，我们的自信心也会达到前所未有的高度，这不是说我们的积极性达到前所未有的高峰，故排除选项A 。
由文章可知，常规的锻炼方式和体育运动只是反复锻炼同一块肌肉，并未提及反复锻炼同一块肌肉是否会对其造成损伤，更未提及极限运动是否会阻止我们重复损伤同一块肌肉，故排除选项B。
文章提及篮球运动每小时可消耗约300卡路里， 但它并不是极限运动，故排除选项C。
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
【听力原文】
[22] In a new Merrll Lynch/Age Wave survey,a full 70%of the early adults said they received financial support from their parents in the past year and 58%said they couldn’t afford their current lifestyles without it.The most common types of financial support include cell phone plans,food,school costs and car expenses.Parental financial support of early adults,said Ken Dychtwald,CEO of Age Wave,is “the new normal”.
[23] But 64%of the young adults surveyed said parents’financial support to children age 25 to 34 is"a bad thing",because it makes those kids dependent.By contrast,only 29%thought supporting men and women age 18 to 24 is bad;the remaining 71%thought that assistance “helps the adult children get ahead”.
Dychtwald believes the young women and men surveyed were saying that by 25,younger adults ought to be financially independent.[24] In fact,the respondents said,financial independence defines adulthood."Financial independence is something they were struggling with and challenged by.And it scared them a bit,"Dychtwald said.[25] One big reason they’re struggling is attributed to college loans,of which the average amounts to $37,000.Many of the parents have taken on college loans for the kids,too,sometimes at the expense of their own finances.In the survey,60%of early adults define financial success as being debt-free.Whether that’s likely,or even possible,anytime soon,is anyone’s guess.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
A team of researchers led by Priyanka Joshi examined the degree to which men and women relied on “communicative abstraction” to verbally convey their ideas and emotions. Communicative abstraction, according to the researchers, reflects the tendency of people to use “abstract speech that focuses on the broader picture and 26 purpose of action rather than concrete speech focusing on details and the means of 27 action.” Interestingly, they found that men were far more likely to speak in the abstract than were women.
To arrive at this 28 , the researchers examined the linguistic (语言的) patterns of men and women in over 600,000 blog posts written on websites. To do this, the researchers computed abstractness ratings for 29 40,000 commonly used words in the English language. Words considered to be concrete could be easily visualized, such as “table” or “chair” . Words that were more 30 to visualize, for example, “justice” or “morality” were considered to be more abstract. They found that men used 31 more abstract language in their blog posts.
What is the 32 of this effect? The researchers suggest that power differences between the genders — that is, men having more power in society — might be a key determinant (决定因素). For instance, in a follow-up study conducted with a sample of 300 students, the researchers 33 power dynamics in an interpersonal setting to see if this would influence communicative abstraction. They found that participants in a high-power interviewer role were more likely to give abstract descriptions of behaviors than were participants in a low-power interviewee role. This suggests that communicating more abstractly does not reflect a 34 tendency of men or women but rather 35 within specific contexts.
A. approximately
B. attaining
C. conclusion
D. difficult
E. emerges
F. fixed
G. ignored
H. legally
I.manipulated
J.recommended
K. refraining
L. signals
M. significantly
N. source
O.ultimate
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one ofthe paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
A. Hal Hershfield, a psychologist at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, wanted to know why people weren’t saving for retirement. Across the board, people are living longer. Logically, they’ll need more money to live comfortably in their post-work years. And yet, savings rates in the U.S. have gone down in recent decades, not up.
B. To help explain this seemingly irrational behavior, Hershfield and his team scanned the brains of study participants while asking them to what degree various traits (特征) — like “honorable” or “funny” — applied to their current self, their future self, a current other, or a future other. As participants answered, Hershfield’s team recorded which parts of their brains lit up. Unsurprisingly, people’s brains were most active when thinking about their current selves and least active when thinking about a current other. But the team found that participants’ brain activity while considering their future selves more closely resembled their brain activity while thinking about a current other rather than the current self.
C. Put in practical terms, when thinking of yourself in a month or a year or a decade, your brain registers that person in ways similar to how it would register Taylor Swift or the mailman. Understood in that way, saving for retirement is the equivalent of giving money away to someone else entirely.
D. In light of Hershfield’s study, one simple question arises: Is it possible to make our present selves give a damn about our future selves? The answers are anything but simple.
E. Seen through the lens of the present self versus the future self, our self-defeating actions — like choosing to watch television rather than go to the gym — suddenly make perfect sense. We get to enjoy the very concrete, immediate benefits of our actions while someone else (namely, our future selves) suffers the hypothetical (假设的), far-off consequences. As a result, the decisions we make for our present selves often look very different from our decisions for our future selves. We believe that tomorrow will be different. We believe that we will be different tomorrow; but in doing so, we prioritize our current mood over the consequences of our inaction for the future self.
F. Understanding our procrastination (拖延) through the lens of the present and future selves, we’re left with three possible solutions: The first is to force your future self to do whatever your present self doesn’t want to do. The second is to convince your present self that your future self is, in fact, still you. If the central problem is that we think of our future selves as other people, it follows that trying to identify more closely with our future selves will encourage us to make better long-term decisions.
G. In a follow-up study, Hershfield wanted to explore ways to bridge the disconnect between the present and future selves and encourage people to save more for retirement. He and his team took photos of study participants, and then used image processing to visually age their faces. Participants were then placed in a virtual reality setting where they could look into a mirror and see their aged selves looking back at them. Participants who saw their aged selves said they would save 30% more of their salary for retirement than the control group.
H. Whatever your long-term goals may be — getting in better shape, launching your own business, writing a book — thinking about your deadline in terms of days rather than months or years can help you wrap your mind around how close the future really is.
I. The third solution is to forget about your future self and use your present self’s love of instant gratification (满足感) to your advantage. While the two tactics (手段) above can be effective in making better long- term choices, in the end, you’re still struggling against human nature. Our brains are hard-wired for instant gratification. Instead of fighting your present self’s need for immediate rewards, why not use it to your advantage? When most of us set goals, we focus on long-term results we want to see — e.g., losing weight, getting a promotion, retiring in comfort, etc. While those visions of our future selves can be inspiring, when it comes to actually doing the day-to-day work, it may be more effective to reframe activities in terms of their immediate, or at least very near-term, rewards.
J. Take writing this article, for instance. It’s easy for me to imagine how amazing it will feel at the end of the workday to have this article done. This isn’t just my opinion. Research partners Kaitlin Woolley of Cornell University and Ayelet Fishbach of the University of Chicago have made a career out of studying the differences between the goals that people achieve and the ones that fall by the wayside.
K. “In one study, we asked people online about the goals they set at the beginning of the year. Most people set goals to achieve delayed, long-term benefits, such as career advancement, debt repayment, or improved health. We asked these individuals how enjoyable it was to pursue their goal, as well as how important their goal was. We also asked whether they were still working on their goals two months after setting them. We found that enjoyment predicted people’s goal persistence two months after setting the goal far more than how important they rated their goal to be,” Woolley said.
L. This pattern held true across a wide variety of goals from exercising to studying to eating healthier foods.
For example, people ate 50% more of a healthy food when directed to focus on the good taste rather than the long-term health benefits. Other studies have shown a greater uptake of exercise in people who were told to think of the enjoyment of doing the exercise now rather than future health gains.
M. These findings suggest that when it comes to achieving your goals, enjoying the process itself is more important than wanting the long-term benefits. In other words, present self trumps (战胜) future self. Who says instant gratification has to be a bad thing? By all means, set ambitious long-term goals for your future self, but when it comes to actually following through day-to-day, make sure your present self knows what’s in it for her too.
- Our brains are genetically determined to satisfy immediate desires.
- Taken in a practical way, saving for post-work years is like giving money away to others.
- Research found that, as regards achievement of one’s goals, it is important to focus more on enjoying the process than the long-term benefits.
- Regarding our future selves as still being ourselves will help us make better long-term decisions.
- Savings rates in America have dropped in recent decades even though people’s life expectancy has increased.
- Researchers found that enjoyment rather than importance enabled people to persist in their goals.
- When making decisions, we give priority to our current frame of mind without thinking much of the consequences.
- People ate more of a healthy food when they focused on its good taste instead of its long-term benefits.
- As was expected, when people thought of their present selves, their brains were observed to become more active.
- Researchers found that participants who saw the images of their aged selves would save more for their later years than those who didn’t.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
People often wonder why some entrepreneurs have greater success than others. Is it habits, connections, luck, work ethic or any other behavior? I believe the key to success is willpower. Willpower is the ability to control yourself. It is a strong determination that allows you to do something difficult. It is a behavior we are born with more than one we learn; however, it is possible to not only learn it, but also strengthen it with constant exercise.
Willpower is just like a muscle; to keep it strong you need to constantly exercise it. People with a great amount of willpower have the discipline to develop positive, successful habits. Even with an incredible amount of talent, without the discipline and motivation to create positive habits, it can be difficult to achieve success.
Willpower and habits go hand in hand. It is critical to create good habits and take the actions necessary to stick to those habits day in and day out for greater success. Almost half of our daily actions are part of our habits and not decisions, so once the correct habits are in place, you will automatically perform those tasks on a day-to-day basis.
The best way to create and stick to a habit is to have strong motivation. It’s easier to change your habits to lose weight if you have a health issue and you want to be around longer for your kids, or if your business is something you’re passionate about. Having a valuable outcome associated with a habit will help you stick to that habit permanently.
The art of self-control is one that most successful individuals have mastered. Self-control enables you to avoid behaviors that don’t contribute to your success and adopt those that do.
Because there is a delayed satisfaction associated with self-control, it can be easy to get off track. However, if you work on sticking to those small positive habits one day at a time, it becomes easier to stay strong and achieve that delayed reward. Once a reward is achieved, it is much easier to continue sticking to your habits.
2024-06-01-46.
- What does the author say we need to do to strengthen our willpower?
A. Keep it under control.
B. Apply it continuously.
C. Learn from entrepreneurs.
D. Aim at success determinedly.
46. 作者说我们需要做什么来增强我们的意志力？
A.控制住。
B.持续使用。
C.向企业家学习。
D.坚定地追求成功。
本题的题干关键词是strengthen our wipower，不是很容易定位答案线索。因为这道题是第一题，根据出题顺序与原文顺序基本一致的原则，先从第一、二段寻找答案。在文章第一段中，作者指出成功的关键是意志力，并介绍了什么是意志力。但是关于如何增强意志力作者并没有提及。接着往下读，第二段第一句提到，意志力就像肌肉一样，要想保持强大的意志力，必须不断地加以锻炼。也就是说，人们要靠不断地运用意志力，来使其变得更强大，故本题选B。其他三项的内容都不符合原文，均排除。
2024-06-01-47.
- How are almost half of our daily actions performed according to the passage?
A. Out of habit.
B. With determination.
C. Like muscle building.
D. By self-discipline.
47. 根据文章，我们几乎一半的日常行为是如何进行的？
A.出于习惯。
B.坚决地；
C.像锻炼肌肉。
D.通过自律。
根据题干关键词almost half of our daily actions可以将答案定位到第三段第三句。
第三段第三句指出，我们的日常行为当中几乎有一半是源于我们的习惯，也就是说我们几乎一半的日常行为是出于习惯做出的，故本题选A。其他三项均与原文不符，都排除。
2024-06-01-48.
- What will help people stick to doing something constructive automatically?
A. Practising it on a day-to-day basis.
B. Associating it with improving health.
C. Possessing a reasonable amount of talent.
D. Foreseeing the desired outcome it will yield.
48. 什么能帮助人们自动坚持做一些有建设性的事情？
A.每天练习。
B.将其与改善健康联系起来。
C.有一定的才能。
D.预见它将产生的预期结果。
根据题干关键词help people stick to doing something constructive automatically可以将答案定位到第四段最后一句。第四段最后一句指出，将一个习惯和有益的结果关联起来，会有助于你长久地坚持这个习惯。换句话说预想一个习惯能带来的理想结果，可以帮助我们坚持做有助益的事，故本题选D。选项中的the desired outcome与原文中的a valuable outcome属于同义替换。其他三个选项虽然都有原文词汇，但是答非所问，均排除。尤其是B项，文章中的一个例子只是提到了改善健康，但不是所有的习惯都与健康有关，这属于以偏概全。
2024-06-01-49.
- How does the art of self-control help us succeed?
A. By allowing us to remain clear-headed permanently.
B. By enabling us to alter our behaviors constantly.
C. By enabling us to take positive actions.
D. By allowing us to avoid taking risks.
49. 自我控制的艺术是如何帮助我们成功的？
A.让我们永远保持头脑清醒。
B.通过使我们能够不断地改变我们的行为。
C.使我们能够采取积极的行动。
D.通过让我们避免冒险。
根据题干关键词the art of self-control help us succeed可以将答案定位到倒数第二段第二句。
倒数第二段第二句指出，自制力能让你避免做出那些无助于你成功的行为，而让你采取那些有助于你成功的行为。也就是说，自制力可以让我们采取积极的行动，从而帮助我们成功，故本题选C。原文中的adopt those that do属于省略，答对这道题需要正确理解这句话，这句话还原之后应该是adoptthose behaviors that contribute toyoursuccess(采取有助于你成功的行为)，这与选项中的take positive actions是同义替换。其余三个选项原文未提及，均排除。
2024-06-01-50.
- Why can it be difficult for us to maintain self-control?
A. Most of us are not in the habit of exercising self-control.
B. We may not get immediate rewards from self-control.
C. Self-control tends to be associated with pains.
D. Self-control only brings about small benefits.
50. 为什么我们很难保持自我控制？
A.我们大多数人都没有自我控制的习惯。
B.我们可能不会从自我控制中立即得到回报。
C.自我控制往往与疼痛有关。
D.自我控制只能带来很小的好处。
根据题干关键词difficult for us to maintain self-control可以将答案定位到最后一段第一句。
最后一句段第一句指出，因为自制力带来的满足感常常是延迟的，所以很容易偏离轨道。这里的“偏离轨道”就是指无法保持自制力，人们是因为自制力不能带来立竿见影的回报，所以无法保持自制力，故本题选B。其余三个选项原文都没有提及，故排除。
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
Today, most scientific research is funded by government grants, companies doing research and development, and non-profit foundations. As a society, we reap the rewards from this science, but we also help pay for it. You indirectly support science through taxes you pay, products and services you purchase, and donations you make.
Funding for science has changed with the times. Historically, science has been largely supported through private patronage (资助), church sponsorship, or simply paying for the research yourself. Today, researchers are likely to be funded by a mix of grants from various government agencies, institutions, and foundations. Other research is funded by private companies. Such corporate sponsorship is widespread in some fields. Almost 75% of U.S. clinical trials in medicine are paid for by private companies. And, of course, some researchers today still fund small-scale studies out of their own pockets. Most of us can’t afford to do nuclear research as a private hobby, but birdwatchers, rock collectors, and others can do real research on a limited budget.
In a perfect world, money wouldn’t matter — all scientific studies would be completely objective. But in the real world, funding may introduce biases. Drug research sponsored by the pharmaceutical ( 制药的) industry is more likely to end up favoring the drug under consideration than studies sponsored by government grants or charitable organizations. Similarly, nutrition research sponsored by the food industry is more likely to end up favoring the food under consideration than independently funded research.
So what should we make of all this? Should we ignore any research funded by companies or special interest groups? Certainly not. These groups provide invaluable funding for scientific research. Furthermore, science has many safeguards in place to catch instances of bias that affect research outcomes. Ultimately, misleading results will be corrected as science proceeds; however, this process takes time. Meanwhile, it pays to examine studies funded by industry or special interest groups with extra care. Are the results consistent with other independently funded studies? What do other scientists have to say about this research? A little examination can go a long way towards identifying bias associated with the funding source.
2024-06-01-51.
- What does the passage mainly discuss regarding scientific research?
A. Its foundation.
B. Its rewards.
C. Its prospect.
D. Its funding.
51. 关于科学研究，这篇文章主要讨论了什么？
A.它的基础。
B.这是回报。
C.前景。
D.资金。
题干问文章主要讨论了科学研究的什么，属于主旨题，最保险的做法是通读文章后再解答此题。不过，本文开篇就指出了文章的主题。第一段第一句指出，如今，大多数科学研究都是由政府拨款、研发公司以及非营利性基金会资助的。再通读下文可知，整篇文章围绕科学研究的资金以及由此可能产生的偏见问题展开论述，故选项D正确。其他三个选项都不是文章主要讨论的内容，故排除。
2024-06-01-52.
- What do we learn from the passage about researchers like birdwatchers and rock collectors?
A. They have little access to government funding.
B. They can do research with limited resources.
C. They can do amateur work in their own fields.
D. They have no means for large-scale research.
52. 我们从文章中了解到像观鸟者和岩石收藏家这样的研究人员的什么？
A.他们几乎无法获得政府资助。
B.他们可以用有限的资源做研究。
C.他们可以在自己的领域做业余工作。
D.他们没有大规模研究的手段。
根据题干关键词birdwatchers and rock collectors可以将答案定位到第二段最后一句。
第二段最后一句指出，鸟类观察者、岩石收藏者和其他人可以在有限的预算下进行真正的研究。这与选项B表达的意思一致，选项中的do research with limited resources与原文中的do real research on a limited budget属于同义替换，有限的资源指的就是有限的预算或资金，故选项B正确。选项A和C原文没有提及，可以排除。选项D属于混淆概念，原文说，一些研究人员仍然自掏腰包来资助一些小规模的研究，鸟类观察者和岩石收藏者可以在有限的预算下进行真正的研究，并没有说，鸟类观察者和岩石收藏者无法进行大规模的研究，故排除。
2024-06-01-53.
- What would scientific studies look like in a perfect world according to the author?
A. They would be totally unbiased.
B. They would be independently funded
C. They would be responsibly conducted.
D. They would be strictly supervised.
53. 在作者看来，在一个完美的世界里，科学研究是什么样子的？
A.他们会完全不带偏见。
B.他们将独立出资
C.它们将被负责任地执行。
D.他们将受到严格监督。
根据题干关键词 scientific studies和aperfect world 可以将答案定位到第三段第一句。
第三段第一句指出，在一个完美的世界里，金钱并不会成为问题——所有的科学研究都是完全客观的。换句话说，在完美的世界里，科学研究是完全公正的，故选项A正确。其他三个选项原文都没有提及，均可以排除。
2024-06-01-54.
- What does the author say about companies and special interest groups?
A. They try hard to pull down the safeguards for research.
B. They make extra efforts to research their own products.
C. They provide valuable resources for scientific research.
D. They reap the most benefits from scientific research.
54. 关于公司和特殊利益集团，作者说了些什么？
A.他们努力降低研究的保障措施。
B.他们会加倍努力研究自己的产品。
C.它们为科学研究提供了宝贵的资源。
D.他们从科学研究中获益最多。
根据题干关键词companies and specialinterest groups可以将答案定位到最后一段第二至四句。
最后一段第二句提问:我们应该忽视任何由公司或特殊利益团体资助的研究吗?第三、四句给出回答:当
然不是。这些团体为科学研究提供了极为宝贵的资金。由此可知，公司和特殊利益团体为科学研究提供了宝贵的资金，资金也就是资源，故选项C正确。其余三个选项原文都没有提及，均可以排除。
2024-06-01-55.
- What does the author think of research funded by industry or special interest groups?
A. Its recommendations should be examined for feasibility.
B. Its misleading results should be corrected in time.
C. Its validity should be checked with additional care.
D. Its hidden biases should be identified independently.
55. 作者如何看待由工业或特殊利益集团资助的研究？
A.应审查其建议的可行性。
B.其误导结果应及时纠正。
C.它的有效性应该更加仔细地检查。
D.它隐藏的偏见应该被独立识别。
根据题干关键词research funded by industry or special interest groups可以将答案定位到最后一段。
在最后一段作者指出，我们不能忽视由公司或特殊利益团体资助的研究，因为它们为科学研究提供了极为宝贵的资金。倒数第四句指出可以采取的措施，要特别谨慎地审查由行业或特殊利益团体资助的研究，这是值得的。由此可知，选项C正确。选项A和D原文都没有提及，可以排除。选项B与原文不符，原文虽然提到了随着科学的进步，误导性的结果最终将会被纠正，但是这是行业的客观现实，而非作者对于由行业或特殊利益团体资助的研究的看法，故排除。
