Which of the following statements is NOT true of the passage

A.International trade has become an important part of national development.
B.Summit talks will be held to discuss problems in international trade.
C.Developing countries benefit more from international trade than development aid.
D.The Doha Development Agenda has made development its pivotal concern.

答案

参考答案:B

解析:
Two years’ ago, in the Qatari capital, trade ministers agreed to begin global trade negotiations driven by what is known as the Doha Development Agenda, which put the question of development at its core. It is widely acknowledged today that trade is a vitally important element in any program for development, as it can deliver benefits to developing countries worth many times more than all the development aid they receive.

[分析]: 事实细节的识别和判断。
原文主要谈论在Qatari首都部长会议达成的共识,即:发展中国家在发展过程中,从贸易中得到的利益远比从援助中得到的利益多。但文中并没有提及将要举行高峰会议讨论国际贸易问题,因此选项B的说法与原文不符,因此是正确答案。
[解题关键] 掌握主题及支持性细节是本题关键。本文主题是贸易发展,支持性细节包括贸易发展共识的介绍及其背景。而选项B的内容不包括在其中。

What makes us who we are? This question has two different answers. One is the environment that surrounds us when we grow up, and the other is our genes (基因). In English, this is called the “nature vs nurture debate(辩论)”. Nature means genes, and nurture means environment, including the people around you.

There is a famous saying: “Give me a child until the age of 7 and I’ll show you the man.” Now, there is a scientific research to support this famous saying.

They watched small birds in new environments, and wrote down how much they explored(探索). Birds that grew up with very outgoing birds were more outgoing themselves. Scientists at the universities of Exeter, UK and Hamburg, Germany did studies on birds. They found that their personalities(个性) were affected most by the birds around them when they grew up – more so than genes.

Nick Royle from the University of Exeter in the UK said the research was surprising because it shows that “for these birds, personality is mainly determined(决定) by environment.” However, human personalities are a lot more complicated than birds, so there is much we still don’t know. The nature vs nurture debate will continue for a long time, if not forever.
