题目
The author of Passage 1 lauds the benefits science has produced, while the author of Passage 2 speaks hopefully of possible future benefits.
Both of the passages react with distrust to the idea of using science to assess chimpanzees.
The first passage lists the studies that showed positive chimp interactions, while the author of Passage 2 refutes their claims,
The first passage suggests that science can have a positive impact on perceptions about chimps, whereas the second passage views science as almost universally negative.
The author of the first passage is more apt to justify using chimps in science than the author of Passage 2.

A． the author has a high opinion of the foundation
B． the author is surely a close friend of the Gates
C． the author believes Bill Gates is really a kind person
D． the author admires the medical knowledge of Bill Gates
作者态度题。根据对整篇文章的分析，特别是文章最后一段，我们可以看出，作者对比尔·盖茨和玛琳达及其基金会的评价很高，因此．选项A最贴近题意，为正确答案。
参考译文：
比尔·玛琳达基金会可以算是历史上最具创新意识、最成功的基金会。现在一共有270亿的慈善基金。
几年前，比尔·盖茨和他的妻子玛琳达就开始思索他们如何才能帮助大部分人，然后就开始着手把更多的资金投在慈善事业上。一开始，他们就达成协议说他们的钱不是为了得到世人的认可和褒扬而投资的；更不会区分受助者的种族、肤色和宗教信仰。相反，是为了世界各地那些亟待帮助的人们。事实上在大多数情况下，是那些关乎生存的需要。不久，他们将这些想法变成了现实：开始关注全球健康和教育。1999年，基金会兑现了最大的慈善诺言之一：将7亿5千万资金用于购买儿童疫苗。
此后他们的投入不仅仅是金钱。他们把自己的聪明才智和精力也投资到了慈善事业上。比尔开始大量接触医疗知识。他每年都要翻阅大量医疗资料以便学习如何对付世界上出现的最危险的疾病。在与他的接触中，我曾多次听他谈到这方面的知识，而且每次都为他知识的深度而折服。玛琳达则周游世界各地去了解从西雅图出去的每一分钱是否都用在了实处。
她坚信“好人有好报”。无论是比尔辽是玛琳达，他们都全身心地投入到这种令人难以置信的棘手的工作当中。他们的智慧在那些大型慈善机构中是罕见的。哪里有需要哪里就有他们及时的帮助。
在对人类福利争业所做的页献上，他们是让我最敬佩的人物。

第4题：
is one of Freud’s devotees
believes in both Animism and Zoroastrianism
thinks that Freudian theory is sound
thinks that the truth is not in the hand of Freud
态度题。从第七段最后一句提到的“But as to Freud’s claims upon truth, the judgment of time seems to be running against him.”，可知对于弗洛伊德自称的真理，时间的证明似乎对其不利。因此选项D描述的“作者认为真理并不非掌握在弗洛伊德手中”为正确答案。
第5题：
Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known
authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obviously political undertones.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.
