64、由第一段第二句可知。61【解析】C 细节理解题，由第四段“status makes people feel better”和“which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways”可知正确选项应是c。62【解析】C 细节题，由倒数第二段“theyre more realistic about their goals，only setting ones that they know they can achieve”可知。63【解析】A 从文章第五段可知此题正确答案应为A。64【解析】B 推理判断题。根据文章的叙述可知机
65、器狗主要适用对象是老年人，再结合第一段第一句可判断此项正确。A项仅仅针对Beck而言，所以不正确；根据第一段最后可知“问题”是如何使研究成为现实，因此D项不恰当。65【解析】C 细节理解题。根据第二段“These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO”可知此项正确。D项是研究人员需要做的事情。66【解析】A 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段后半部分可推断此项正确。根据本段第一句可排除C项；真实的狗也能做到B、D两项，因此不可选。67【解析】B 考查作者态度。根据最后
66、一段可推测此项正确。倒数第二段表明人们当初对机器狗的看法是错误 的，但这并不意味着未来机器狗能改变人们的信念，所以C项不正确；其余两项在文中没有信息支持。68【解析】A 从第二句“The atmosphere again acts as our pro- tective blanket on earth”可知。69【解析】B 逻辑推理。根据短文所列的种种事例，可知防辐射是件困难的工作。70【解析】C 写标题，综合一、二两段文字可得知本文主要讲述太空辐射的影响。因此选C。 第四部分：任务型阅读71Smallest 72Age 7327 74Weight 75 12576foot 77doctor
