It is foolish, however, to rely on assurances from producers of genetically altered organisms that their products will not be harmful. Therefore, a biotechnology company should be required to apply to an independent regulatory board composed of scientists outside the biotechnology industry for the right to sell newly created organisms.
Which one of the following principles, if accepted, most strongly justifies drawing the conclusion above?
(A) Voluntary guidelines are sufficient to regulate activities that pose little danger to the environment.
(B) People who engage in an activity and have a financial stake in that activity should not be the sole regulators of that activity.
(C) Methods that result in harm to the environment must sometimes be used in order to avoid even greater harm.
(D) A company is obligated to ensure the effectiveness of its products but not their environmental safety.
(E) Issues of environmental protection are so important that they should not be left to scientific experts.
这个题目我选A,答案是B.
5. The ends of modern centuries have been greeted with both apocalyptic anxieties and utopian fantasies. It is not surprising that both reactions have consistently proven to be misplaced. After all, the precise time when a century happens to end cannot have any special significance, since the Gregorian calendar, though widely used, is only one among many that people have devised.
Which one of the following, if true, could be substituted for the reason cited above while still preserving the force of the argument
(A) it is logically impossible for both reactions to be correct at the same time.
(B) What is a utopian fantasy to one group of people may well be for another group of people, a realization of their worst fears.
(C) The number system based on the number ten, in the absence of which one hundred years would not have the appearance of being a significant period of time, is by no means the only one that people have created.
(D) The firm expectation that something extraordinary is about to happen can make people behave in a manner that makes it less likely that something extraordinary will happen.
(E) Since a century far exceeds the normal human life span people do not live long enough to learn from mistakes that they themselves made one hundred years before. 我选E答案是C作者: cranberry 时间: 2003-4-12 15:02
第一题：A要么可以理解为与文中意思相左，要么就是和文章无关，如果守则可以解决问题，那就不用后面一通罗嗦了。文中的暗含意思就是自己又当玩家又当裁判是不成的，B就是这个意思呀！ 第二：E的意思是“由于人们活不了100年，所以人们不可能从100年前犯的错误中直接学会什么东东。”和文中几乎一点关系也没有。C的意思是“10进位制并不是人们发明的唯一计数方法，而不是根据10进位制，100年根本没什么特殊意义。”作者: cranberry 时间: 2003-4-12 21:13
第二题中文意思：现在世纪末总带来对世界末日的恐惧和乌托邦式的幻想。实际上，这些情绪都是多余的。哥利高利历虽然被广泛使用着，但毕竟只是人们发明的诸多历法中的一个，因此一个世纪结束的准确时间没有什么特别意义。作者: shany 时间: 2003-4-12 22:03
