24. Ms. Markova's comments suggest that the practice of standard testing ____.

　　A) prevents new habits from being formed

　　本题问Markova的评论意味着标准化测试会怎么样。本题跨度较大，首先必须找到Markova的评论，“But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ … ” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”

　　Markova认为我们被教育要学会"决定"，但决定扼杀了所有的可能性，只留下一个答案，一个有创新性的思考者总是考虑许多其他的可能性的。接着我们找到文中关于 标准化测试的描述The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought.大意为目前标准化测试只强调了analysis与procedure，这从根本上使得很少有人能够使用 innovative与collaborative的思维模式。找到了两个出处，我们就必须找到“Markova的评论”与“标准化测试”的联系，到底有什么联系呢，我们不难发现由Markova的评论我们知道标准化测试“从根本上使得很少有人能够使用 innovative与collaborative的思维模式”，而从第二段的描述中我们知道创新性对于新习惯的形成是至关重要的。因此选择A) prevents new habits from being formed。

　　25. Ryan most probably agrees that ______.

　　D) curiosity activates creative minds

　　本题问Ryan最可能同意什么观点。

　　A) ideas are born of a relaxing mind 观点来源于放松的大脑。

　　B) innovativeness could be taught 创新能够被传授。

　　C) decisiveness derives from fantastic ideas 果断来自于奇特的想法。

　　D)curiosity activates creative minds好奇心能够激活创新的头脑。

　　根据人名Ryan我们可以定位到最后一段，但很难从中找出与四个选项匹配的观点，不过我们注意到Ryan与Markova是business partner的关系，这两人之间的观点是一致的，由“The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna Markova.我们知道Markova认为创新最需要的就是对未知事情的着迷，因此选择D)curiosity activates creative minds。

　　而A) ideas are born of a relaxing mind 利用文中出现的relaxing加以编制选项。B) innovativeness could be taught 虽然文中最后一段Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.”This is where developing new habits comes in. 但只是说doing even more of it creates excellence.并没有交代是本人自觉得多做，还是被“taught”的多做。C) decisiveness derives from fantastic ideas文中没有关于果断的信息。

　　26. In paragraph 1 and 2, the text shows PTK's ____.

　　A) easy availability

　　本题问文章的第一二两段显示了PTK的什么。[b]All he needs to do[/b] is shell out $30 for a paternity testing kit at his local drugstore—and another $120 to get the results.

　　[b]More than 60,000[/b] people have purchased the paternity testing kits since they first became available [b]without prescriptions[/b] last year, according to Doug Fogg, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the [b]over-the-counter[/b] kits. [b]More than two dozen companies[/b] sell DNA tests [b]directly[/b] to the public, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $2,500. 由这些粗体All he needs to do，More than 60,000，without prescriptions(无须处方)，over-the-counter(通过柜台)，sell DNA tests directly to the public我们就很容易得出A) easy availability易得性(很容易得到)。
