分析 本文报道了以为售卖假冒的炸弹探测器的商人,这种行为会伤害那些无辜的人,降低人们的安全防护,但这位商人仍不认为自己有罪.

解答 39.答案D.细节理解题.根据文章第一段"a businessman who sold fake bomb detectors"可知,这个商人由于卖假冒的炸弹探测器而判刑.可见他欺骗了其他商人.故选D.
40.答案B.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for hugepr of itpromoted a false of  security and  in  all  probability  materially  contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people"可知,法官批判他这种假冒的探测器有一种虚假的安全,会伤及无辜•的人们,让人们无法防备.故选B.
41.答案D.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"The detectors,sold for up to 42,000 each,were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air.But in fact they"lacked any grounding in science"and were of no use"可知,真正的探测器没有科学基础,对科学研究无任何用处.故选D.
42.答案C.推理预测题.根据文章第二段法官的话"you have neither regret,norshame,nor any sense of guilt."可知,法官批判商人不后悔,没有负罪感.而且文章最后一段"I never had any had results from customers"可知他没有在顾客那里收到不好的结果.可推测McCormick不认为自己有罪.

点评 本文为新闻报道类阅读.新闻报道类在英语阅读理解中是一种特点十分鲜明的题材.因为文章往往呈现出"倒金字塔"的特征,此类题的英语阅读理解技巧是重点看导语.导语位于新闻报道的首段,高度概括新闻事实,通过它点出新闻的主题,其次寻找关键词,理解题意,做出解答.

7.EDGEWOOD-Every morning at Dixie Heights High School,customers pour into a special experiment:the district's first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
   Well before classes start,students and teachers order Lattes,Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates.Then,during the first period,teachers call in orders on their room phones,and students make deliveries.
   By closing time at 9.20 a.m.,the shop usually sells 90 drinks.

   They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs.They keep a timecard and receive paychecks,which they keep in check regis ters.
