Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs (虫子), which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr.’Adrian Patton, who started Genera five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.
Andy Headland, Genera’s marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecast good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at $ ;42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.
Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headland believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.
选项 A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案A
解析 借助题干中的特征结构Genera Technologies作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句： Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs(虫子)，which callch cause illness．A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages,which shows whether water is safe.划线句说"Genera技术公司已经研制出了一种分三个阶段实施的测试方法，这个方法能显示出是否水是安全的”。问题句的内容是“Genera技术公司已经研制出了能确定水是否洁净的方法”。显然现在解题的关键在于判断safe与clean所指代的内容是否一致。结合划线前句内容(看起来干净的饮用水可能含有会导致生病的虫子)，很明显划线句中的safe与前句clean呼应，即：划线句中的“安全的”就是“洁净的”，因此判断问题句的说法正确。
