    It can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage that the chairperson who resigned from the panel to develop a coordinated federal program for radiation regulation most likely did so because( )

    A.he or she disagreed with the findings of the Senate committee
    B.regulatory efforts have been balked by disputes,confusion,and bureaucratic delays
    C.he or she supported the position of the National Academy of Sciences Committee and opposed regulation of radiation exposure
    D.he or she was disorganized and inconsistent in chairing the panel

    答案:B
    解析:
    推断题。由最后一段可知:对辐射的定期监管杂乱无章、支离破碎,且没有连续性,而且这些监管的特点有互相推诿和官僚主义导致的延误等。故本题选B。参考译文:辐射有三种自然来源:环境中的放射性物质,如土壤、岩石或建筑材料,宇宙射线,以及人体内的物质,如骨骼中的放射性钾以及组织中的放射性碳。这些来源使美国人每年暴露在大约100毫雷姆的辐射下。人造辐射的最大单一来源是医用X射线,虽然大多数科学家认为,医用X射线造成的危害远没有武器试验产生的放射尘的危害大,因为锶90和碳14会融合到体内,而这种辐射会伴随人的一生。然而,这种看法绝不是没有争议的。近20年来人们进行了大量的测试,关于低水平辐射影响的争议也从未间断,这开始于1958年联合国科学委员会原子辐射影响研究小组发布的一项报道,该小组在报道中称“即使是最小量的辐射也可能造成有害基因或躯体效应”。英国的一项调查证实,曾用X射线治疗脊椎关节炎的病人感染癌症的概率异常得高。另一项研究显示,如果母亲接受了产前骨盆X射线辐射,孩子患癌症的概率会非常高。这些研究表明,人类有必要重新审视这一假设:即接触低线性能量转移后,罹患癌症的风险也很小。近日,为生产专用于核武器的钚的西海岸工厂的已故员工们做的一次死亡证明表明,这些人死于胰腺癌、骨髓癌和淋巴系统癌的概率远高于正常人群。虽然美国国家科学学术委员会将这种差异归因于化学因素或其他环境因素而不是辐射,但是其他科学家依然认为,任何辐射接触,无论多小,都会增加患癌症的风险。一些科学家认为,一雷姆的剂量如果持续多代的话,婴儿出生时患有严重基因缺陷的风险会增加1个百分点,也有可能导致每百万个新生儿中就有1 000个基因紊乱。同时,定期监管杂乱无章、支离破碎,且没有连续性,而且这些监管具有互相推诿和官僚主义导致的延误等特点。一份参议院的报告总结称,管辖权的争议和混乱使得相关部门和机构共同监管、协调参与变得不太可能。一家联邦机构在努力获得足够的资金和人力以加强执行现有辐射法律方面一直未成功,而专门为发展协调一致的联邦项目而建立的专家组主席也辞职了。

    B

    The Internet is weakening the tie of social networks.

    C

    If you use the internet, you are more likely to get help from network members.

    D

    Internet users are more likely to receive help from non-users.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    录音中最后一句提到“Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members.”(网络用户比非网络用户更有可能获得来自网络成员的帮助),由此可知如果你使用网络,你更有可能得到网络成员的帮助,所以选C。
    【录音原文】
      As the size of a person’s social network increases, it becomes more difficult for people to contact a large percentage of network members. The percentage of one’s social network contacted declines as network size grows. This pattern holds true for almost all forms of contact analyzed in the Social Ties survey. The one exception is email.
      As the size of people’s social network increases, the percentage of one’s social network contacted weekly by email does not decline, but remains about the same at about 20% of their ties. Several qualities of email help explain this finding. Email enables people to maintain more relationships easily because it is convenient as a communication tool and it gives the control in managing communication. The nature of email is such that people could carry on conversations at different times and at their leisure. This makes it possible for a quick note to an associate, whether it is about important news or seeking advice on an important decision. Moreover, it is almost as easy to email a message to many people as it is to email to only one...
      Contrary to fears that email would reduce other forms of contact, there is “media multiplexity”: that is, the more contact by email, the more in-person and phone contact. Therefore, Americans are probably more in contact with members of their communities and social networks than before the advent of the Internet. And Internet users are more likely than non-users to receive help from network members.
