LONDON —A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的）bomb detectors (探測器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors — which were based on a kind of golf ball finder — to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57，was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,’’ Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $ 42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.
39. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A. He sold bombs. B. He caused death of people.
C. He made detectors. D. He cheated in business.
40. According to the judge, what McCormick had done ________ .
A. increased the cost of safeguarding
B. lowered people’s guard against danger
C. changed people’s idea of social security
D. caused innocent people to commit crimes
41. Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A. They have not been sold to Africa.
B. They have caused many serious problems.
C. They can find dangerous objects in water.
D. They don't function on the basis of science.
42. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _________ .
A. sold the equipment at a low price
B. was well-known in most countries
C. did not think he had committed the crime
D. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text

| 段落 | 關鍵詞、句 | 大意推測 |
| 第一部分（Para. 1-3） | McCormick, 57，was convicted of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London | 新聞案件的簡介：57歲的McCormick上月被起訴詐騙并于周三在倫敦的Old Bailey court法庭被判刑。 |

【解析】
39. D。細節理解題。難度：中等。問題是“為什么McCormick被判刑入獄”。根據問題中的關鍵詞sentenced to prison定位原文第一段。第一段說到McCormick是一位商人，生產了假冒的炸彈探測器，這是一種商業欺騙。選項D和其對應，為正確答案。
40. B。細節理解題。難度：難。問題是“根據法官的說法，McCormick的所為導致了什么樣的結果”。根據問題中的關鍵詞according to the judge定位第四段的第一句：your cheating conduct … promoted a false sense of security and … contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people（你的欺騙行為提高了人們虛假的安全感并助推給無辜百姓帶來死亡和傷害）。由此可見，McCormick的行為讓人們有了安全感，但這種安全并不真實。B “降低了人們防范危險的安全意識”符合此意，為正確答案。
41. D。判斷題。難度：難。問題是“下面哪種說法對探測儀來說是正確的”。
解題思路：根據問題中的關鍵詞detectors，把四個選項具體對應到原文中一處。A對應文章倒數第二段的最后一句he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand。該句中的Kenya是非洲的肯尼亞，否定了A的說法。B對應第一段第一句“the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences”，法官只說罪犯沒有關注潛在的致命后果，而不是已經導致嚴重的問題。C對應第五段的第一句話“were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air”提示，探測儀的功能只是據說，而不一定真的具備找到水中危險物品的功能。選項D定位第五段的最后一句“in fact they ‘lacked any grounding in science’ and were of no use可知，這種探測儀沒有科學根據，也毫無用途，和D“沒有科學根據的工作原理”相吻合，故最佳答案是D。
42. D。推理判斷題。難度：中等。
解題思路：返回原文，將選項與原文一一進行比較。
本題主要考查第四段和第七段。A“以低價銷售設備”與原文第四段第一句不符，因為該句提到法官指控McCormick通過賣一些無用的設備來巨額利潤。B“在大多數國家很有名”與文中提到的區區幾個國家和地區Iraq，Belgium，Saudi Arabia，Kenya，Hong Kong，Egypt和Thailand購買他的探測儀不符。C“認為他沒有犯罪”和第七段對應，其中他所說的“I never had any bad results from customers”和C符合，Ｃ是正確答案。Ｄ“他沒有賺取文中提到的那么大利潤”在原文沒有語言根據。

Remind children that bad things don’t last. It may sound simple, but the message is extremely important. “Children often don’t have the experience to know that when something bad happens—they lose an important game or their best friends lets them down—it’s not the end of the world,” explains Nancy Leffert, a senior research scientist with the Research Institute, an American adolescents’(青少年) and children’s research group. “They think their bad feelings will last for ever， or that one failure will ruin everything.”
Unfortunately, that kind of thinking discourages motivation(動機).“If a child believes that the cause of her upset is lasting, or that nothing she does will make a difference, it decreases her ability to keep on trying,” says Dorothy Rich, president of the Mega Skills Education Center of the Home and School Institute, based in Washington. Any time you can help your child see that a situation is not lasting, that a result can be changed, or that one opinion does not reflect reality, you give her reason to hope.Case in point: “When my daughter Kathy was eight，art was one of her favorite subjects，”says Beth，a mother of two. “Then she got an art teacher who gave a great deal of praise to one student and barely noticed the rest．Kathy was ready to give up until I explained to her，‘Never stop doing your best just because one person doesn’t give you praise.’” Beth had to repeat the advice often，and finally her daughter got the message．“Kathy is twelve now, and art is still one of her strongest subjects.”62. According to the passage we know many children_____.A. know how to face a failureB. try their best to avoid a situation of failureC. don’t want to stay in bad feelings for everD. tend to take a failure as the end of the world63. Which of the following can a parent say to his children to show that one’s opinion does not reflect reality?A. “If you call your friend and apologize，he won’t stay mad at you.”B. “That may be what your teacher thinks, but I see it differently.”C. “You have lost today, but you can try again tomorrow.”D. “Go ahead. Don’t care what other people think.”64. It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A. teachers’ praise is very important to studentsB. good teachers can give students useful adviceC. teachers should not praise their students in classD. good teachers can find each student’s favorite subject65. The best title of the passage is_____.A. Help Children Promote Problem Solving AbilityB. Tell Children Not to Let Failure Ruin ThemC. Set Reasonable Hopes for Your ChildrenD. Teach Your Children to Be Happy
