LONDON —A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的）bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.

It is believed that James McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors — which were based on a kind of golf ball finder — to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.

McCormick, 57，was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.

“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,’’ Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”

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.

McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.

“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.

39. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?

A. He sold bombs.                              B. He caused death of people.

C. He made detectors.                              D. He cheated in business.

40. According to the judge, what McCormick had done ________ .

A. increased the cost of safeguarding

B. lowered people’s guard against danger

C. changed people’s idea of social security

D. caused innocent people to commit crimes

41. Which of the following is true of the detectors?

A. They have not been sold to Africa.

B. They have caused many serious problems.

C. They can find dangerous objects in water.

D. They don't function on the basis of science.

42. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _________ .

A. sold the equipment at a low price

B. was well-known in most countries

C. did not think he had committed the crime

D. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，题材是新闻报道。本文报道了一条卖假冒炸弹探测器的商人被判10年徒刑的新闻。

段落	关键词、句	大意推测
第一部分（Para. 1-3）	McCormick, 57，was convicted of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London	新闻案件的简介：57岁的McCormick上月被起诉诈骗并于周三在伦敦的Old Bailey court法庭被判刑。
第二部分（Para. 4）	cheating conduct, promoted a false sense of security, contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people	法官宣判：罪犯的欺骗行为增强了人们虚假的安全感并促使导致给无辜百姓带来死亡和伤害。
第三部分（Para. 5-7）	But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use, sold…to… , never had any bad results	案件细节及当事人的反诉：假冒炸弹探测器被销往世界各地，但它根本没有科学依据，也毫无用处。罪犯狡辩假冒产品没有给用户带来任何不良后果。

【解析】

39. D。细节理解题。难度：中等。问题是“为什么McCormick被判刑入狱”。根据问题中的关键词sentenced to prison定位原文第一段。第一段说到McCormick是一位商人，生产了假冒的炸弹探测器，这是一种商业欺骗。选项D和其对应，为正确答案。

40. B。细节理解题。难度：难。问题是“根据法官的说法，McCormick的所为导致了什么样的结果”。根据问题中的关键词according to the judge定位第四段的第一句：your cheating conduct … promoted a false sense of security and … contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people（你的欺骗行为提高了人们虚假的安全感并助推给无辜百姓带来死亡和伤害）。由此可见，McCormick的行为让人们有了安全感，但这种安全并不真实。B “降低了人们防范危险的安全意识”符合此意，为正确答案。

41. D。判断题。难度：难。问题是“下面哪种说法对探测仪来说是正确的”。

解题思路：根据问题中的关键词detectors，把四个选项具体对应到原文中一处。A对应文章倒数第二段的最后一句he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand。该句中的Kenya是非洲的肯尼亚，否定了A的说法。B对应第一段第一句“the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences”，法官只说罪犯没有关注潜在的致命后果，而不是已经导致严重的问题。C对应第五段的第一句话“were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air”提示，探测仪的功能只是据说，而不一定真的具备找到水中危险物品的功能。选项D定位第五段的最后一句“in fact they ‘lacked any grounding in science’ and were of no use可知，这种探测仪没有科学根据，也毫无用途，和D“没有科学根据的工作原理”相吻合，故最佳答案是D。

42. D。推理判断题。难度：中等。

解题思路：返回原文，将选项与原文一一进行比较。

本题主要考查第四段和第七段。A“以低价销售设备”与原文第四段第一句不符，因为该句提到法官指控McCormick通过卖一些无用的设备来巨额利润。B“在大多数国家很有名”与文中提到的区区几个国家和地区Iraq，Belgium，Saudi Arabia，Kenya，Hong Kong，Egypt和Thailand购买他的探测仪不符。C“认为他没有犯罪”和第七段对应，其中他所说的“I never had any bad results from customers”和C符合，Ｃ是正确答案。Ｄ“他没有赚取文中提到的那么大利润”在原文没有语言根据。

王维传

    维，字摩诘，太原人。九岁知属辞，工草隶，闲音律。岐王重之。维将应举，岐王谓日：“子诗清越者，可录数篇，琵琶新声，能度一曲，同诣九公主第。”维如其言。是日，诸伶拥维独奏，主问何名，曰：“《郁轮袍》。”因出诗卷。主曰：“皆我习讽，谓是古作，乃子之佳制乎?”延于上座曰：“京兆得此生为解头，荣哉!”力荐之。开元十九年状元及第，擢右拾遗，迁给事中。贼陷两京，驾出幸，维扈从不及，为所擒，服药称喑病。禄山爱其才，逼至洛阳供旧职，拘于普施寺。贼宴凝碧池，悉召梨园诸工合乐，维痛悼赋诗日：“万户伤心生野烟，百官何日再朝天?秋槐花落空宫里，凝碧池头奏管弦。”诗闻行在所。贼平后，授伪官者皆定罪，独维得免。仕至尚书右丞。维诗入妙品上上，画思亦然。至山水平远，云势石色，皆天机所到，非学而能。自为诗云：“当代谬词客，前身应画师。”后人评维“诗中有画，画中有诗”，信哉。客有以《按乐图》示维者，曰：“此《霓裳》第三叠最初拍也。”对曲果然。笃志奉佛，蔬食素衣，丧妻不再娶，孤居三十年。别墅在蓝田县南辋川，亭馆相望。尝自写其景物奇胜，日与文士丘为、裴迪、崔兴宗游览赋诗，琴樽自乐。后表请舍宅以为寺。临终，作书辞亲友，停笔而化。代宗访维文章，弟缙集赋诗等十卷上之，今传于世。

  B.延于上座日          延：邀请。

  C.对曲果然            对：对照。

  A．②③⑤    B．①④⑥    C．①③④    D．②⑤⑥

下列对原文有关内容的分析和概括，不正确的一项是    (    )

  A．王维精通音律，应举之前，歧王建议他为《诗经》中几首风格清越的诗谱上琵琶曲，并帮忙推荐给九公主，九公主对王维大加赞扬。 

  B．凝碧池宴乐，叛贼召集梨园诸公合奏乐曲，王维赋诗一首，表达了对叛贼的痛恨，对遭受战乱的百姓的同情和对朝廷的忠心，因此战乱后得以免罪。

  C．王维晚年笃信佛教，素食朴衣，在蓝田县南辋川孤居多年，作画，会友，游览，赋诗，弹琴，饮酒，自得其乐，从中找到了心灵的最终归宿。

  D．王维的山水画构思奇妙，意境空灵远阔，绘画的技艺如同得到天机，不是他人能学得来的，连他自己都说“当代谬词客，前身应画师”。
