參考答案

1.thebedsidethebedside解析：由題干關鍵詞Registration可先將答案定位至第二個小標題Registration下，又因題干inurgentcases與原文thepatient'sconditionislife-threatening同義，因此定位到第二段。Ifthepatient'sconditionislife-threateningorifthepatentarrivesbyambulance，thisstepmaybecompletedlateratthebedside，故可知答案。

2.one-wayone-way解析：根據關鍵詞borrowculturefromothercountries查讀小標題4,000YearsfromNow下面第一段最后兩句Othersnotethatitisnotallone-waytraffic．Americamayfeastlargelyonadietofhomegrownculture，butitimpootsmodestlyaswell...

3.A解析：根據最后1段第2句：Morefraternaltwinsareborntoolderwoman．可知歲數大一些的婦女生的雙胞胎多是男孩。因此本題的答案為Y。

4.morepassivemorepassive解析：在文章的最后一部分：“OnestudyreportedthatJapaneseworkersweremorepassivethancommonlythought，preferringtobepersuadedofthevalueofadecisionbytheirsupervisorovermakingthedecisionthemselves：”對于日本的研究還在繼續。新近的研究表明日本人并不像人們以前認為的那樣積極，他們更加傾向于相信上司的決策，而不是他們自己參與決策。

5.B解析：文章倒數第八段提到“Allthedonateddrugsintheworldwon'tdoanygoodwithoutaninfrastructurefortheirdelivery．”意思是如果沒有藥品運輸的基礎設施任何捐助的藥品都是徒勞。題干部分少了前提條件，因此是錯誤的。

6.NN解析：本題涉及有機農業的規模問題，從而將題目出處定位到OrganicFarming部分。該部分第二段末句提到了有關有機農業的規模問題：itisstillonlyasmallindustry，題干中的becomeabigindustry與原文相悖，故答案為N。

7.B解析：由文章第十三段可知，另一些人認為UFOs可能來自水底，人們看見過有些奇怪的東西在Triangle的清水區，有時候又會看見一個像submarine的東西朝船只的方向移動，但"goesmuchfasterthanasubmarine"。因此，可判斷這句話是錯誤的。

8.A解析：根據題干關鍵詞in-vitrofertilization，surgically，implanted定位到原文第四段第二句：Within-vitrofertilization，thespermandeggarecombinedinalabandsurgicallyimplantedinthewomb．即此句表達的意思與原文意思完全相同。

9.C解析：細節題。由題目中的Ford,GMandDaimlerChrysler找到小標題Fourth下第四句Inshort,everypennyofwastewillbecompressedfromthehugeprocurementsystem.(簡而言之，供應系統的浪費將縮減到最小。)答案是C。

10.A

11.15000squaresmetres15,000squaresmetres解析：如果世界上人均土地面積可以分得50,000平方米，但是可用來耕種糧食的土地平均每人只有15,000平方米。因為五分之一的土地長期被冰雪覆蓋，五分之一的土地是沙漠，另有五分之一的土地是高山或者是高原，還有十分之一的土地莊稼無法生長——是巖石。

12.usethatcapacitybyencouragingcreativeimpulsesandthenactinguponthemusethatcapacitybyencouragingcreativeimpulsesandthenactinguponthem解析：同義轉述題。題干的意思是Edison，Picass
