9. 短文C （新产品的烦恼） The huge number of electronic items now regularly thrown away by British families is clearly one big problem. But this has other consequences.

Household items should be upgraded quickly. • D. We should hold on for new technology to last. • A错，文章中有一句I don’t feel sorry for the pace of change. On the contrary, I’m amazed by those high-tech designers who can somehow fit a camera, music-player, computer and phone into a plastic box no bigger than a packet of cigarette.这一句明显地与A项相反，由于没有看清，或者没有细想，居然选它的人成了多数。 • B错，我们跟不上新科技新产品也不是什么灾难。 • C错，家用物品应该更新得那么快吗？作者的意见当然是相反的。 • D对，我们应该让新科技在手中用得长久一些，不要马上就成了过时的墓碑。这才是文章的主题。 • 难度0.36 区分度   0.27

Many psychologists think that human moral rules are an extension ofthis “kin (亲族) selection”. • However, despite thinking it wrong, 28% said they would still push a stranger off to save five, while 47% said they would push a brother off to save five brothers. “They’re more likely to do this ‘less moral’ thing if it’s to save a relative,” Kurzban says, suggesting kin selection is at work as well as the basic “moral rule” against killing.
