阅读材料，回答下面的题目。The New Technology ApplicationOn a more mundane level, third-generation mobile telephones, despite all the delays and the billions squandered on 3G licenses by telecom firms, are still expected to offer consumers high-speed, always on mobile internet access, complete with video, in the next few years.Rapidly proliferating "WiFi" networks already offer wireless access on a local basis. Tiny tracking chips called radio-frequency identification devices are being used as pet passports.Soon they will be small, powerful and cheap enough to be implanted into everything form humans to milkcartons recording and transmitting real-time medical data, or serving as a form of inventory control.Sensors of every kind, including video cameras, should also become much smaller and cheaper.Forrester Research, a technology consultancy, predicts that 14 billion such devices will be connected to the internet by 2005.How rapidly such new technology is introduced will depend on a number of factors the state of the economy, the supply of investment capital and the appetite of consumers for new products or services ! Fortunes will be made and lost many times over.But whatever happens, the power of computing and communications look set to continue to grow, and its price to fall, at a steady rate for the next few decades.That will make it possible, at least in rich countries, to record most human interactions, wherever and whenever they take place, and to store and analyze this ocean of data at low cost.For the sake of argument, this survey will assume that we are heading towards a networked society of ubiquitous, mobile Communication capable of constant monitoring.Whether this arrives in 20,30 or 40 years does not really matter.The point is that the destination seems not merely possible, but probable, so it is not toosoon to ask: What do we want this technology to do?The internet has already thrown up a host of legal and political conundrums, but, these are only a small foretaste of the dilemmas about privacy, security, intellectual property and the nature of government itself that will have to be faced over the coming decades.The debate has already begun. This survey will outline some of main issues, and speculate on the way they are likely to go. Radio-frequency identification devices__________.

正确答案 ：D

most human interactions can be easily monitored

解析：【答案】D【解析】本题的要点在原文第二段“but”之后。前面说的是作者认为会影响到新技术的一些因素，在but之后，提出了自己真正关心的话题：“人们之间的大多数交往可能轻易就会受到监视。”所以，D为正确答案。应注意的是，C选项虽然和原文一致，但不是作者最关心的问题。

[单选题]What can be the ultimate result of the inflow of the resources?

根据以下材料回答下面的题目：Benefited or HurtFor the most part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich country counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain. Orthodox economics takes an optimistic line on integration and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labor have already been used up. If pool countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, the theory goes: rich foreigners wilt want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment, it will supplement domestic savings and loosen the financial constraint on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign controlled operations, FDI, so much the better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investmentought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labor and partly by making labor more productive. This why workers in FDI receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same static and dynamic gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. This gain from trade logic often arouses suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets though trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these transactions, sides exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.According to the passage, who may be reasonably afraid of the globalization?

正确答案 ：C

It will push incomes up

解析：【解析】文中第三段提出两种形式，由这段中的最后一句可知这两种形式的最终结果都是“push incomes up”，其他三项均为通向C的途径。

Then who finances the research?

[单选题]It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that DNA fingerprinting _________．

根据下列材料，回答下面的题目DNA Fingerprinting 　　DNA is the genetic material found within the cell nucleus of all living things．In mammals the strands of DNA are grouped into structures called chromosomes．With the exception of identical siblings(as in identical twins)，the complete DNA of each individual is unique．  　　DNA fingerprinting is sometimes called DNA typing．It is a method of identification that compares bits of DNA．A DAN fingerprint is constructed by first drawing out a DNA sample from body tissue or fluid such as hair，blood，or saliva．The sample is then segmented using enzymes，and the segments are arranged by size．The segments are marked with probes and exposed on X—ray film，where they form a pattern of black bars—the DNA fingerprint．If the DNA fingerprints produced from two different samples match，the two samples probably came from the same person．  　　DNA fingerprinting was first developed as all identification technique in 1985．Originally used to detect the presence of genetic diseases，it soon came to be used in criminal investigations and legal affairs．The first criminal conviction based on DNA evidence in the United States occurred in l988．In criminal investigations，DNA fingerprints derived from evidence collected at the crime scene are compared to the DNA fingerprints of suspects．Generally，coups have accepted the reliability of DNA testing and admitted DNA test results into evidence．However，DNA fingerprinting is controversial in a number of areas：the accuracy of the results，the cost oftestin9，and the possible misuse of the technique．  　　The accuracy of DNA fingerprinting has been challenged for several reasons．First，because DNA segments rather than complete DNA strands are “fingerprinted”；a DNA fingerprint may not be unique；large—scale research to confirm the uniqueness of DNA fingerprinting test results has not been conducted．In addition，DNA fingerprinting is often done in private laboratories that may not follow uniform testing standards and quality controls．Also，since human beings must interpret the test，human error could lead to false results．  　　DNA fingerprinting is expensive．Suspects who are unable to provide their own DNA to experts may not be able to successfully defend themselves against charges based on DNA evidence．  　　Widespread use of DNA testing for identification purposes may lead to the establishment of a DNA fingerprint database． If two sisters are identical twins．their complete DNAs are _________．

正确答案 ：A

is costly to the police

解析：从第五段可以推断出DNA指纹_________A．对警察来说成本昂贵 B．可能是一个社会争议的问题C．是证明清白的唯一方式 D．是个获利的行业 【解 析】推断题。第五段首句就提到DNA指纹颇为昂贵，接着又举例论证这种昂贵情况带来的某种后果，故A是正确答案。
