LONDON—A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his detectors—which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick,57, was convicted (判罪) of cheat last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people，” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers，” he said.

(2013·重庆，D)
Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an Sshaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”， a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It's an ocean that moves impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in midocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics (模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences too；unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a few of heartbeat, a kind of subocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
文章大意：本文为说明文，向读者介绍了富有活力的大西洋。
13．Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is ________.
A．always energetic
B．lacking in liveliness
C．shaped like a square
D．favored by ancient poets

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Kirk Watson, then Austin’s mayor, remembers it this way:
“I was at the gym working out and going back and forth between different machines, doing different things. I was on a treadmill(踏车), my head down and a guy on another treadmill cried out, ‘Mayor, is that the World Trade Center?’ ”
Moments later, Watson was in another part of the gym, away from televisions. “Another guy said another one hit.” he recalled.
Watson, now a state senator, recalls every detail, every emotion of Sept. 11, 2001.
“I will never forget the feeling of watching the towers fall,” he said, recalling going into mayor mode when it became clear our nation was under attack.
You, too, remember the details, the emotions of 9/11. Five weeks from today, on the 10th anniversary of that awful day, we will provide a forum for Central Texans to share their memories. At times, the memories are so vivid, it seems impossible it was so long ago. And there are times the memories are so horrific that it can be hard to comprehend that such a thing actually happened.
For many of us, the 9/11 attacks on our homeland are the equivalent(等同) of what the attack on Pearl Harbor was for Americans on Dec. 7, 1941. The events were comparable, but the outcome was different. Does it seem to you America was in a better place 10 years after Pearl Harbor than we are 10 years after 9/11? We remain at war on two fronts. Our nation’s economy is shrinking. Too many Americans are unemployed. We face challenges so deep that some Americans — inheritors(继承人) of a national spirit long marked by eternal optimism about a boundless future — are thinking about whether our best days are behind us.
“Sept. 11, 2001 was our day that will live in evil,” Watson said. “We need to make sure our children and grandchildren will say we reacted to our day that lived in evil at least as well as that generation that came before us reacted to Pearl Harbor.”
Have we done that? We’d like to share your thoughts in a project planned for these pages on Sunday, Sept. 11. Are your memories consumed by the horror of the sights of that day? And, like Watson, do the emotions of the day still burn within you?
63．When America was under attack on Sept 11, 2001, Kirk Watson was________.
A．in the office having a talk with his staff
B．receiving a phone call from his colleague
C．in the stadium watching TV
D．at the gym taking exercise
64．It can be learnt from the passage that ten years after Sept 11, 2001, ________ .
A．America is in a better place than they were 10 years after Pearl Harbor
B．America’s economy is picking up
C．Americans are worried about their future
D．many Americans are living a happy life
65．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ________ .
A．hope the readers will talk about how they feel about the 9/11 attacks
B．expect the victims of the 9/11 attacks will be tolerant
C．call on all Americans to unite
D．encourage American young people to fight against terrorists
66．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Great Pain Disappears Slowly
B．Ten Years Later, Memory Still Burns
C．Ten Years Ago, the 9/11 Attacks Occurred Unexpectedly
D．The 9/11 Attacks, Forgettable or Forgivable

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Though “nanometer”（纳米）is now a fashionable term all over the world, few people know exactly what it is. It has become a new favorite of manufacturers and sellers in recent years. Many “high-tech” products bearing the name “nano” have entered the market, bringing more mysterious feeling to surprised consumers.
Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure, and is very small. One millimeter is 1000 micrometers, and one micrometer is 1000 nanometers. That is, one nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nano materials are solid materials composed of particles(粒子) or crystallites(晶体) of less than 100 nanometer in size. Then, is a cup made of nano material really any different from an ordinary cup in function as far as how it works?
Are nano cups really so wonderful? A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine, which is the first such institute of such a sort in the world and the only one in China, specializing in researching the investigation of the application of nano technology into medicine.
A water molecule(分子) is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. It can be changed only by special working skillfully of the atoms. The material making up the cup can have nanometer particles .
But it cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in it. The water in the cup is still water. When people drink it, it will produce no special effect on human body.
Professor Ji who worked in the Instiute of Nanomedicine told the reporter, so far, the investigation of nano materials is still limited in the laboratory. No commercial micro products can be produced yet. With the present level of science and technology, the time of everyday goods made of nanometer materials is still years away.
The products labeled with nano marks in the market now are only traditional products coated with a thin layer of nanometer material, which makes them more abrasion resistant(耐磨), much easier to be cleaned, or oil resisting or moth proof(防蛀).
Professor Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup. It can also be included in the list of nano products in a certain sense. But the nano cup has not changed its property and function as a cup. It is not a magical medicine for curing and health care.
67．What can we learn according to the passage?
A．Millimeter is a smaller length unit compared with nanometer.
B．Nano products are very popular with consumers.
C．The water contained in the nano cup is not quite different from the tap water.
D．A nano cup has a special function.
68．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．real nano products are being produced by some companies
B．nano materials have been put into use in daily goods
C．the nano cup is very effective in curing and health care
D．real nano products haven’t become available for people
69．The underlined word “properties” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A．possessions B．reactions C．qualities D．symbols
70．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．High-tech Products B．Nano Materials
C．High-teach Research D．Nano Cups
【参考答案】 67—70、CDCB
