Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash.可知，传统的海洋垃圾清理方式速度慢，成本高。而新的海洋垃圾清理项目利用自然水流捕捉海洋垃圾，这自然会节省资金。故A选项正确。【2题详解】推理判断题。由第二段Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase.可知，Nike公司在收到信后，马上组织设计团队解决此问题，并设计出了the FlyEase，解决了问题。由此推断出Nike公司提供方便客户的服务。故C选项正确。【3题详解】推理判断题。由第三段The goals is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside可知，建立无人机机场，是因为这是个多山的国家，陆路交通不便利。故A选项正确。【点睛】通过对细节对比是解决推理判断题的方法之一，这就要求在阅读时，要准确判断对比的内容是什么，从而推理判断出所隐含的内容。小题1的题干是问读者“Oceans Vacuum的优点是什么”，由第一段The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes a 62-mile-long floating barrier that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next years trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42 % over 10 years.可知，传统的海洋垃圾清理方式速度慢，耗资多，而Ocean Cleanup Project会利用流动的水流来捕捉海洋垃圾。通过对比两种清理垃圾的方式，我们可以判断出，Ocean Cleanup Project是利用自然水流，不需要太多人工作业，故一定会节省资金。故A选项正确。所以，掌握对比的方法，能更好地帮助我们准确判断出答案。I grew up in a middleclass family Dad worked hard to support our family and Mom tried to save money while making sure we had enough food to eat and clothes to wear One of their greatest desires was to raise decent， loving children who had an opportunity to finish collegeMy brother， Gene， never hesitated to learn new things He had an artistic hand， so he went into fine arts for a while He also did a lot of screens about computers He became so good at it that the school hired him to teach there after he completed his studies My younger brother also pursued computers， following in his footstepsGene did not have a history of any health problems from his very young age to adulthood One day， he came home from teaching， ate his dinner and went to bed That evening，my healthy brother died suddenly of a cardiac arrest（心跳骤停）My parents were extremely sadAt the viewing in the funeral house， amidst the sadness， my parents felt so much pride So many people came and each was relating a story of how they were touched by GeneA cleaner came to say that practically every day Gene brought him a sandwich Finally， Mom found out why Gene had taken so many sandwiches to school!

However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities”. That means youd have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.迪克说这是一个“合理的研究”。然而，在他看来，“从Roach 中提取牛奶只可能以一种破坏性方式得到很少量的牛奶。”这意味着你必须饲养和杀死许多虫子才能获得少量的牛奶，不容易。分析选项A. simple简单的；B. challenging有挑战性的；C. safe安全的；D. necessary必要的。可知B项符合题意。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知， Roach milk很快就会出现，而且一些科学家已将许多昆虫作为牛奶的来源并对此正进行研究。新的研究还说这种牛奶的营养价值很高，有些科学家对此很有信心。由此可推断出这种Roach milk将会被广泛运用。故选C项。Next week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers， telling everyone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphoneCalifornians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring handsfree phones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18， which will take effect on Tuesday， though they were puzzled by a loophole（漏洞） that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging Some were doubtful about lawmakers， who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasingly crowded roads in the nations most populous state and said handsfree conversations were not saferKFIAM radio talkshow host John Kobylt told Reuters Its stupid because weve one over about seven different studies and each one of them says its the conversation that distracts you， not holding the phoneState Senator Joe Simitian， who introduced the bill， said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer He expected his law to save hundreds of lives The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car， which he said wasnt an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001Connecticut， New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking on handheld cell phones In New Jersey， police have issued 35，000 tickets for using a handheld phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalenceOn the one hand I dont want to see people crash into each other， but Im not going to get an ear thing 38yearold bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles12.
