问题 单项选择题

我从不怀疑“城市车”概念的__性,因为这是全世界都需要的东西:干净、简洁、低能源消耗。我们不是在()让“城市车”概念成真,而是必须让它实现。

A.超前梦想

B.可行尝试

C.实用期待

D.科学努力

答案

参考答案:B

解析:此题考查实词的语境搭配和填空。本题的突破点在第一个空,这里应填一个表示“城市车”概念性质的词语。“可行性”意为行得通,可操作,因为全世界都需要,所以“可行”。“超前性”意为超越目前正常条件的,即具有未来性、预见性,由“全世界都需要”并不能推出概念很科学,故A不选;“实用性”意为有实际使用价值,一般针对的是具体事务,“城市车”作为一个概念不具有使用价值,只有当其实现以后才具有实用性,所以C也不选;“科学性”指经得起推敲,符合客观规律,由“全世界都需要”并不能推出概念很科学,所以D也不选。再看第二个空,由“必须让它实现”可知不能仅仅是“尝试”,印证B项正确。故正确答案为B。

Passage 2Donegal is located in the windswept wilderness. It might seem an odd place to find one of Europe’s most dynamic companies. But a small assembly unit making a muscular stimulation product for leisure and healthcare is blazing a trail. BMR Teoranta—the company title in Irish—has quietly established a market for itself, making products for muscular therapy and body toning using the brand name Slendertone which it bought in 1989.Mr. Kevin McDonnell, the chairman, chief executive and owner of 95 per cent of the company, is a little vague about the source of his success. Part of it, he says, must be the p work ethic in the area. He points out that half his employees are from Galswegian families with their Scottish attitudes of thrift and industry. Mr. McDonnell bought the company for $300,000 and BMR sales are now growing at around 50-60 per cent a year.The medical products business, where growth is less dramatic, but margins are attractive, is seen as the source of the company’s future earnings. In the US alone, the market for muscular stimulation products has jumped from $88m to more than $200m this year.Many BMR products are not available over the counter but through catalogues. The company is looking at special advertising on video shopping channels. In the US companies like BMR are prohibited from selling medical products over the counter. In Europe this situation is slightly different. BMR, for example, is starting to sell its consumer range in Carrefour superstores in France and its range is available in pharmacies. However, under a European Union ruling similar to US laws, companies that sell such products will have to reequip their factories to meet new health standards. “I know it sounds a bit smart, but our products have always been seen as industry standard,” says Mr. Kevin McDonnell.The company spends £1,000,000 a year on research and development, quite a large sum for a company of its size.

It can be inferred that US laws for selling health products are stricter than the corresponding laws in Europe. ( )
