參考答案

1.N。N。解析：題干中的manypeoplehavedemandforthenetworkatthesametime與原文中Aspeoplecongregate屬同義轉(zhuǎn)述；但是原文提到，這時通過4G技術(shù)可以增加網(wǎng)絡(luò)的容量而不會出現(xiàn)通信困難。故題干與原文描述不符。

2.B解析：根據(jù)題干中的信息詞families和investment定位到第三個小標(biāo)題下的第一段，可知許多家庭原以為自己的計劃很完善，即便學(xué)費(fèi)繼續(xù)攀高，他們投資的回報也足夠支付費(fèi)用，可沒想到的是那些投資和股市一起失敗了。由此推斷，很少有家庭可以通過投資計劃支付高昴的學(xué)費(fèi)，故該句表述錯誤。

3.C解析：本句中的破折號表明其前后的indications和dreamsigns所指相同，本題應(yīng)選C。

4.starsstars解析：根據(jù)題干中的信息詞Apolloprogram和picturestransmittedfromthemoon
