参考答案

1.B解析：由题干关键词evilintention，untrue可将答案定位至第一个标题下第八段第一句。However,unlikethestoryofCatherineⅡ,notallgossipismaliciousoruntrue，由此证明本题陈述有误。

2.NGNG解析：根据题干中的信息词assessment和high-riskurbanareas定位到第一个小标题下的第二段，可知作者等人对10个高危城市地区进行了独立评估，主要针对的是安全指数，但文章并没有说明受评估的10个城市地区是否涵盖了美国所有的高危城市。

3.100tripsaroundtheearth。100tripsaroundtheearth。解析：本题题眼并未在文中直接体现，但是可以找到与题眼呼应和关联的词log和equivalent，由此定位到小标题CompanyGrowth下第二段末句的后半句：...whileitscourierslog2.5millionmilesaday—theequivalentof100tripsaroundtheearth．(……而它的速递员一天飞行大约二百五十万英里，相当于环球旅行100次)，即可得出答案。

4.A

5.grayishskingrayishskin解析：见小标题3下第二段倒数第二句话。

6.veryspecializedneedsveryspecializedneeds解析：此处要求填入名词性短语，作have的宾语。本题考查精于专业知识的意义。根据原句可知，精于专业知识，当人们有这方面的专门需求时，便会受人青睐。因此原句中whe
