分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了美國密蘇里州漢尼拔市的全國湯姆日．

解答 36．F　推理判斷題．通過前文This year，the festival takes place from June 30th to July 4th in Mark Twain's boyhood home of Hannibal，Missouri可知，美國密蘇里州的全國湯姆日有很多深受馬克吐溫作品鼓舞的節(jié)日；故選F．
37．B　推理判斷題．根據(jù)前文Boys from place to place aged 10-13will dress up as Tom，because the costume is one of the 3standards for evaluation可知前面寫到了三個標準中的一個，接下來應該是另外兩個決定性因素是柵欄的速度和質量；故選B．
38．E　推理判斷題．除了前文The frog jumping contest was created with Mark Twain's short story，The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Count介紹的活動外，還有其他的大量的活動；故選E．
39．G　推理判斷題．根據(jù)后文you and your kids will always find something interesting to do可知有了這些有趣的活動，你和孩子們將會發(fā)現(xiàn)很多有趣的是可以做；故選G．
40．A　推理判斷題．根據(jù)前文A carnival as well as musical entertainment will also run throughout the weekend可知最后，作者邀請大家上網(wǎng)參加全國湯姆日的一些活動；故選A．

點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類似，不同的是一個選詞，一個選句子．解題時，要注意上下文語境，充分考慮信息詞（選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語境的句子．

5．Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation（創(chuàng)新）that threatens the survival of companies everywhere．It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work，so they shouldn't be challenged．While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change，it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation．In today's rapid changing global environment，old methods often don't work，and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems．
    Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security．If everyone else believes it，then it must be true．Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right，and being right is good．They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work．In 1977，Ken Olsen，co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation（DEC），stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home．"Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists．
    People seem to forget that since innovation is a change，there can be no innovation without change．Unfortunately，conventional wisdom prevents leaders，followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating．If companies don't innovate，but their competitors do，the future is likely to be problematic．Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries，so it has a powerful effect on business success．
    Ted Turner（founder of CNN） knew little，if anything，about the news business，but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour，as was common before CNN．Turner's solution was to create a cable channel devoted to news 24 hours a day．The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time，and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day．However，it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don't have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work．Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information．Due to conventional thinking，the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted．They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future．
    Conventional wisdom prevents creativity，flexibility and risk-taking，so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it．To survive，boom and maintain competitive advantage，companies must be flexible when reacting to change．
32．DEC has disappeared probably becauseA．
A．the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas
B．the consumers didn't like its products
C．the leaders lacked the sense of security
D．the employees took many risks with changes
33．The founding of CNN is used as an example to proveC．
A．missing opportunities could lead to failure
B．watching news at the dinner hour is convenient
C．changing could contribute to business success
D．conventional wisdom influences business success
34．What does the underlined part probably mean？C
A．Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly．
B．It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time．
C．It's necessary to understand when people watch the news．
D．Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work．
35．The passage is mainly written to tell us thatD．
A．old methods are changing with time
B．opportunities lead to business success
C．successful companies need wise leaders
D．conventional wisdom limits innovation．

9．A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen，commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer，actually increases the risk．
Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma．They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma．
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin form the harmful effects of the sun，sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer，which is increasing in incidence faster than any other cancer in the United States．
But question have been raise about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect，perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning．
The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer---people with fair skin and freckles，for example-are more likely to use sunscreen．As a result，it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often．
The studies，which generally relied on volunteers to recall their use，were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied，said the new study．
13．The underlined word"flaws"in the 2nd paragraph most probably meansC．
A．evidences        B．facts       C．faults               D．failures
14．We can learn from the passage thatD．
A．sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
B．the volunteers have proved the effects of sunscreen
C．the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D．the number of skin caner patients is increasing in America
15．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage？A
A．Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer
B．Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C．Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
D．Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles．
