9.Counterfeit (假冒的) goods,or false versions of products,may cost the government of Kenya as much as $1 billion each year.The fake goods also hurt business owners who find it hard to keep customers.But information technology is being used to try to stop the problem.Jemima Mwafigu is a 34-year-old businesswoman who sells products like perfume.But in the first year of running her business,she found it hard to keep customers because of counterfeit goods.
Ms.Mwafigu says her business has improved since she began using a smart phone application called Barcode (條碼) Scanner.The app is used to authenticate (驗證) products.It checks to make sure the products are not counterfeit.
"With this application I'm able to scan the bar codes of each perfume and instantly I get the production date,the expiration date and I'm able to know the safety,"she says."That way,I have confidence in selling to my customers."
In 2010,Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency,or ACA,to fight against illegal trade.The ACA has successfully asked government officials for stronger punishments for counterfeiters.
Agnes Karingu is the agency's acting director for research and awareness.She says the ACA is trying to stay one step ahead of those making fake goods.
"We are also looking into IT solutions where we can be able to use SMS programs,bar codes and information sharing,"she says."The end users of the products will actually be able to get the authentication information,and this information comes back to ACA and intellectual property rights holders."
The agency is testing another program called Allvirtuous.The application is another way to find out if a product is real or not by scanning its barcode.The barcode information is sent to a database.Then a result is sent back to the app.
The International Chamber of Commerce is a global business organization.It says the value of counterfeit goods produced around the world is expected to be more than $1.7 trillion (萬億) this year.

分析 本文主要講述了以往商業(yè)生意會收到假貨的影響,后來有了各種手機軟件,這種困擾就解除了,而且生意也變好了.

解答 32.D 主旨大意,前三段講訴一個商人的例子,在沒有手機app 之前生意受到假貨的影響,用了手機app 之后,生意變好了.下文也圍繞這個手機app 展開敘述.所以D項最能概括文章大意.
33.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解,根據(jù)"In 2010,Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency,or ACA,to fight against illegal trade"可推知,她創(chuàng)立ACA是為了和非法交易做斗爭.結(jié)合選項,故選C
34.A.猜測詞義,根據(jù)"I get the manufacture date,the expiration date and I'm able to know the safety"這句話中的生產(chǎn)日期和了解到產(chǎn)品的安全可推知,這個詞表示有效期.故A為正確答案
35.A推理判斷,根據(jù)"The International Chamber of Commerce is a global business organization",可知這是一個全球商業(yè)組織,所以對假貨的泛濫肯定是表示出擔(dān)憂,并且希望想辦法解決.結(jié)合選項,故選A

點評 本文是一個新聞報道類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)
