小題2:細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由No boring repetition, charts or meaningless formulas，沒(méi)有無(wú)聊的重復(fù)，圖表或無(wú)意義的公式。可知，A錯(cuò)誤。
由Language instruction that is proven to be effective。語(yǔ)言命令被證明是有效的。故B正確。文中并未提到學(xué)習(xí)一門新語(yǔ)言需重復(fù)很多次。故C錯(cuò)誤。由第三段Our courses took 40 years to develop and are now used by the FBI, CIA, and business professionals everywhere.我們的課程發(fā)展花費(fèi)了40年的時(shí)間，現(xiàn)在被FBI,CIA，商業(yè)專業(yè)人員廣泛使用。D選項(xiàng)說(shuō)的是與商業(yè)專業(yè)人員工作的機(jī)會(huì)，故D錯(cuò)誤。因此，本題答案為B
小題3:判斷題。由Speak without an accent so that you sound like a native.講話不帶口音，這樣聽(tīng)起來(lái)你就更地道，純正，故A正確。由Feel safe and confident.你感到有安全感并且充滿自信，故B正確。由Protect your busy life。不擾亂你繁忙的生活。C選項(xiàng)說(shuō)的是Pimsleur Approach將教你如何控制你生活的平衡，因此是錯(cuò)誤的。由Remember without trying.輕松記憶，可知，D正確。故本題答案為C

Inventors are always looking for ways to make our lives easier, greener and a whole lot more fun. Take a look at the following breakthroughs in science and technology. What in the world will inventors dream up next?
Superhero Suit
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a superhero? Dream no more. There’s a real Iron Man suit, XOS 2, which instantly transforms the person wearing it. The suit provides the power to lift 200 pounds with ease and break slabs（厚片）of wood with a single karate chop. It was designed to help the military with heavy lifting. One person in the suit could do the work of three soldiers.
Up, Up and Away!
It took him 30 years to develop it, and now Glen Martin’s invention is ready to take off. The Martin Jetpack allows its operator to fly 8,000 feet into the air. Unfortunately, you can’t soar through the skies too long. The jetpack holds only 30 minutes’ worth of fuel. The aircraft will sell for $100,000.
Hardworking Robot
The EMIEW2 robot is the perfect office helper. Need a document delivered? No problem! It can also guide visitors to their destinations. The three-foot-tall robot can identify different human voices and respond to commands. One day, it may serve as a receptionist or a security guard.
Green Machine
Say goodbye to gasoline! The AirPod car runs on air power. That means this car won’t pollute the environment. A high-pressure air tank can fill the car in minutes. The three-wheeler can travel about 130 miles between fill-ups.
Beef Power
All aboard the beef train! Amtrak’s Heartland Flyer runs partly on fuel that is made from cow fat. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 10%. The train travels between Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Fort Worth, Texas.
Robo-Guard
EMILY is a robotic, four-foot-long buoy (救生圈). She can swim through riptides (激流) at up to 24 miles per hour. Her inventor, Tony Mulligan, says that’s 15 times as fast as human lifeguards! EMILY is powered by a tiny electric pump and operated by remote control.
