[单选题]阅读材料，回答{TSE}题。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.{TS} Radio-frequency identification devices__________.

[单选题]The study suggests that it is more difficult to respond what to get rid of.

根据材料，完成下面的题目。Kicking the Habit       What is a bad habit? The most definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without thinking about it. and which has some sort of negative consequence. This consequence could affect those around us, or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habits are part of what makes us human.       Many early habits, like sucking out thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are either told to stop doing it by our parents, or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it becomes a part of our life, and becomes "programmed" into our brain.       A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change out habits, it is the old ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back. During the study program, the researchers showed a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them. They then showed the volunteers the same picture again, and gave them new words to associate with them.       A few days later, the volunteers were given a test. The researchers showed them the pictures, and told them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one. It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and second. Two weeks later, they were given the same test again. This time, most of them only gave the first set of words. They appeared to have completely forgotten the second set.The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time. We may try to change out ways, but after a while, the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned. The more that response is used, the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond in any other way.       The study therefore suggests that over time, our bad habits also become automatic, learned behavior. This is not good news for people who pick up bad habits early in life and now want tochange or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previous learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.Boys usually develop bad habits when they are very young.

Wrong 

解析：【题 干】研究表明，对已经改掉的习惯很难做出反应。 【解 析】从第五段第二句“We may try to change our ways，but after a while，the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned．”可知我们尝试改变方式，但首先出现在我们脑海中的通常是我们最开始学的。由此可推理，要摆脱最先认知的内容是更困难的。因此题干内容有误，故选B。 【考点延伸】这是一个由细节进行推理的题目，需要根据原文回现与题干内容进行对应并进一步推理后才能做出选择。

[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?

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。

[单选题]根据以下材料回答{TSE}题：Age DiscriminationBy the year 2000 nearly half the workforce in Europe are over 40 and yet throughout Europe there is a deep ambivalence ( 犹豫 )-if not outright suspicion-towards the capabilities of older workers.Those over the age of 40 generally take longer to find new employment, but European governments have done little to protect their employment rights. Only Germany, with incentives to business to encourage the employment of older people, and France, with the introduction of legislation making it illegal to use age barriers in recruitment-or to make employees redundant because of their age done anything substantive to combat age discrimination.Yet even in these two countries, there has been no noticeable improvement in the lot of the older workers; indeed, in France, job advertisements flout ( 轻视，反对 ) the law openly by asking for applicants of a certain age. So, should France and Germany be tightening up their laws and should the rest of Europe follow suit?Bill Robbins, a careers consultant said, "Legislation against age discrimination has been in existence for well over ten year in the U.S. and Canada, but has had no effect. Employers will always be able to find some reasons for turning down an older applicant without appearing to break the law."Ironically, it was governments which played a leading role in hardening business culture against older workers in the first place. In the late 1970s, many European countries were extremely concerned about the levels of youth unemployment, and France, Germany and Belgium even initiated incentive schemes for businesses to encourage older employees to take early retirement provided that younger trainees were taken on in their place. As more and more employees took early retirement, often willingly, a new, youth-oriented culture permeated business throughout most of Europe-even in those countries that had taken no active measures to promote it.Demographic ( 人口统计学的 ) trends mean that governments are now anxious to slow down the policy of early retirement as they realize that they simply do not have the funds to meet their pension promises. But reversing business attitudes is no easy matter. Dianah Worman a policy adviser said, "There is a widely held belief that older people are less, adaptable and trainable. This is just not true: research has shown that differences in capability are as wide within age groups as they are between them."{TS}Which of the following words can best describe the European attitude to older workers?

Distrust.

解析：【解析】从文章第一段可以看出欧洲人对年龄较大的工作者存在着不信任的态度，suspicion(怀疑)即是distrust(不信任)。

[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 _________．
