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.1Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?AHe sold bombs.BHe caused death of people.CHe made detectors.DHe cheated in business. 2According to the judge, what McCormick had done _.

They dont function on the basis of science.5It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _A. sold the equipment at a low priceB. was wellknown in most countriesC. did not think he had committed the crimeD. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text(一)【要点综述】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章叙述了英国法官审判了一位商人，他有出售假冒炸弹探测器的犯罪行为。但这名犯罪嫌疑人根本没有意识到他的行为给社会带来的危害。1D细节理解题。根据第一段“A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison”以及“McCormick, 57, was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month”可知，McCormick被判处欺诈罪。故可以判断选D。2B推理判断题。根据第四段“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”可知选B。3D细节理解题。由倒数第二段可得出答案。4D细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But in fact they lacked any grounding in science and were of no use.”可知，事实上它们“没有任何科学根据”，是没有用的。可以判断选D。5C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“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.”及最后一段可知，麦考密克曾在法庭上说，他出售自己的探测器给肯尼亚警察、香港监狱、埃及的军队和泰国的边境管制处， 而且他从来没有从客户那里听到任何不好的结果。故可以推断出他根本没有认识到他的罪行。故选C。高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-ARedheaded birthday boy Jake Balcom, newly 11, walked into the principals office at Centennial Lane Elementary School in Ellicott City ready for his big surprise.
