WhatdowelearnaboutNotifyfromthenewsreport?

[解析]新闻中提到Notify是Facebook最近开发的一个应用程序，供用户在智能手机上订阅来自媒体的新闻消息（letsuserssubscribetocontentfrommediapartnersontheirsmartphones）。

B“它让用户能够在智能手机上阅读新闻”与新闻内容一致。

A“它是《时尚》杂志发行的”，新闻中说该软件是由Facebook发行的。

B.In1979.

C.In1981.

D.In1987.

答案:

WhenwerethePCBsbannedintheUK?

[解析]新闻开头提到多氯联苯（PCB）从20世纪20年代被制作出来后，于1981年被英国所禁止。

故C正确。

A“1920年”是PCB问世的时间。

B“1979年”是在美国被禁止的时间。

D“1987年”是被欧盟的其他国家禁止的时间。

4.

A.Theyhavegreatinfluenceonpeople'shealth.

B.Theyexistpermanentlyintheenvironment.

C.Theirproductionistoomassivetocontrol.

D.Theyworkinthetopofthefoodchain.

答案:

A[听力原文]

WhyshouldPCBsbebannedaccordingtothenewsreport?

[解析]新闻中提到，人们发现多PCB在很大程度上会危害人类和动物的健康（haveawide-rangingimpactonhumanandanimalhealth），包括引发癌症、抑制免疫系统以及导致生殖问题。

A中的greatinfluence和people'shealth是对原文的同义改写，故选A。

B“它们在环境中永久存在”在新闻中有提到，但这并不是PCB被禁的原因。

C“它们的产量多得难以控制”和D“它们在食物链顶端起作用”均与新闻内容不符。

5.

A.Therearen'tanyPCBsinEurope'swaters.

B.1,000killerwhalesanddolphinscarryPCBs.

C.ThereisnorelationbetweenPCBsandenvironment.

D.PCBsstillexistinEuropeanwhales.

答案:

D[听力原文]

WhatdowelearnaboutPCBsfromtheresearch?

[解析]新闻的最后提到，杰普森博士解释说其研究结果显示PCB仍然存在于欧洲的鲸类中。

故D正确。

新闻中提到有很多PCB流入河流和河口，最终流入了海洋环境，故A“欧洲的水体没有PCB”与新闻不符。

研究人员分析了欧洲海域的1000多个虎鲸和海豚的样本，并不表示有1000条虎鲸和海豚携带了PCB，故B错误。

整篇新闻都涉及了PCB和环境污染的联系，故C不对。

What'sthemainreasonforthedroppinginnewhomesales?

[解析]本题问及销量下降的主要原因是什么。

新闻指出，预计11月份到期的首次购买抵税的延长促使销售下降。

B的prolongedtaxpolicy与原文中theextensionoffirst-timebuyertaxcredit同义，故为正确答案。

A“国内产量下降”、C“美国GDP下降”和D“本国的经济衰退”都不是销量下降的原因。
