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。

【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。

阅读下面的文言文，完成下列各题。

孙权，字仲谋。兄策既定诸郡，时权年十五，以为阳羡长。郡察孝廉，州举茂才。（建安）五年，策薨，以事授权，权哭未及息，策长史张昭谓权曰：“孝廉，此宁哭时邪? 且周公立法而伯禽不师①，非欲违父，时不得行也。况今奸宄（奸臣）竞逐，豺狼满道。乃欲哀亲戚，顾礼制，是犹开门而揖盗，未可以为仁也。”乃改易权服，扶令上马，使出巡军。是时，惟有会稽、吴郡、丹杨、豫章、庐陵，然深险之地犹未尽从，而天下英豪布在州郡，宾旅寄寓之士以安危去就为意，未有君臣之固。张昭、周瑜等谓权可与共成大业，故委心而服事焉。曹公表权为讨虏将军，领会稽太守，屯吴，使丞之郡行文书事。待张昭以师傅之礼，而周瑜、程普、吕范等为将率。招延俊秀，聘求名士，鲁肃、诸葛瑾等始为宾客。分部诸将，镇抚山越，讨不从命。

（建安十三年）荆州牧刘表死，鲁肃乞奉命吊表二子，且以观变。肃未到，而曹公已临其境，表子琮举众以降。刘备欲南济江，肃与相见，因传权旨，为陈成败。备进住夏口，使诸葛亮诣权，权遣周瑜、程普等行。是时曹公新得表众，形势甚盛。诸议者皆望风畏惧，多劝权迎之。惟瑜、肃执拒之议，意与权同。瑜、普为左右督，各领万人，与备俱进，遇于赤壁，大破曹公军。公烧其余船引退，士卒饥疫，死者大半。备、瑜等复追至南郡。

十六年，权徙治秣陵。明年，城石头，改秣陵为建业。闻曹公将来侵，作濡须坞②。十八年正月，曹公攻濡须，权与相拒月余。曹公望权军，叹其齐肃，乃退。（《三国志??吴主传》）

注：①周公立法而伯禽不师：周公制定的礼法制度，他的儿子、受封于鲁国的伯禽却没有遵守。按照古人的解释，伯禽在服丧期间，徐戎（周代居住在今徐州一代的少数民族）作乱，伯禽就停止服丧而率兵讨伐，平定了徐戎。      ②濡须坞：修建在濡须口的堡坞，夹濡须水而筑。

对下列句子中加点的词语的解释，不正确的一项是   （    ）

A．权哭未及息                  息：停止

B．领会稽太守                  领：兼任

C．公烧其余船引退              引：拉

D．此宁哭时邪                  宁：难道

下列各组句子中，全都直接表现孙权励精图治的一组是（    ）

①策薨，以事授权   ②招延俊秀，聘求名士        ③乃改易权服，扶令上马

④公烧其余船引退   ⑤闻曹公将来侵，作濡须坞    ⑥权与相拒月余

A．①②④       B．①③⑥       C．③④⑤       D．②⑤⑥

下列对原文的叙述与分析不正确的一项是（    ）       

A．孙权继位之后，任用贤才，优礼士人，用对待师傅之礼事奉张昭、周瑜、鲁肃、诸葛瑾等人，一时间，孙权手下人才济济。

B．荆州牧刘表死后，其子刘琮投降曹操。此时的东吴内部分为主战、主和两派，孙权不顾主降派张昭等反对，联合刘备与曹操决战，取得赤壁之战的胜利。

C．孙权到秣陵（建业）后，曹操来犯，孙权与曹操大战于濡须坞，双方均不能获胜。看到孙权阵容齐整，曹操只好撤兵。

D．孙权作为一代英主，面对曹操的入侵，敢于抗击；经过赤壁之战，大败曹操，后又在濡须之战中取得胜利。

　 That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 26 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. __27_ , on this special morning, I felt like getting up early.

I stood by my window overlooking(眺望，俯视) the _28_, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something _29_ in life.

As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I 30 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket（水桶） _31_ on its handle(把手) and pieces of old and used cloth in a basket and bottles on its back-carriage(后座). He 32 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 33 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.

Several thoughts 34 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 35 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 36 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 37 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 38 passers-by(过路人) and stopping to have a free talk now and then 39 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.

There was a noticeable sense of 40 in the way he seemed to be doing things— 41 the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to look at it proudly; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and 42 , standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.

It was a 43 to learn, I felt. One doesn’t have to beg for a 44 at any age if one is in good health and willing to work hard. For a while I felt 45 of myself. Though I am young —just sixteen, and there was this old man before me who must have got up very early and been busy working so hard and actively.
