33、 38 个编码 p53 基因的修改副本。p53 是一种定义明确的 肿瘤抑制因子。 ）可知，大象有 38个基因 p53，而人类只有两个，所以大象有更强大的机制来杀死受损有癌 变危险的细胞。故选 B。 【5 题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中 Further, elephants may have a more powerful mechanism for killing damaged cells that are at risk for becoming cancerous.可知，有些受损细胞会有癌变的危险。故选 A。 【6 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 And yet its beli

Nature helps us prevent cancer“大自然帮助我们预防癌症”能够体现文章主要内容，故选 D。 【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。 1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。 2) 找准文
38、章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大 意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。 3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之 一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。 如第四小题， 根据文章第一段 Why elephants rarely get cancer is a mystery that has confused scientists for decades.

41、 helps us prevent cancer“大 自然帮助我们预防癌症”能够体现文章主要内容，故选 D。 C C One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .Thats when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Ren
42、ault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceelys near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying o
43、n her GPS but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC. Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceelys story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of t
44、echnology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And its not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. The pr
45、oblem with his argument in the book is that its not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map- maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities
46、are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesnt say. Its a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the
47、advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer- based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe its also due to t
48、he shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors. The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology. If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for jus
