參考答案

1.A解析：根據(jù)題干信息詞thepesticideDDT定位到第二個(gè)小標(biāo)題下的第二段。即：殺蟲(chóng)劑DDT會(huì)傷害野生動(dòng)植物并且能影響人類(lèi)的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)，但對(duì)預(yù)防瘧疾是很有效的(beeffectiveagainstmalaria)，故選A。

2.420millionin2050420millionin2050解析：參見(jiàn)小標(biāo)題D.PopulationProjections下面的最后一句：U.S.populationincreasingfrom250millioninl990to349millionin2025and420millionin2050.Thereafter,growthwouldbevirtuallyzero．由此可知，美國(guó)的人-增長(zhǎng)將會(huì)停止在2050年的4億2000萬(wàn)。

3.C解析：第1個(gè)小標(biāo)題HistoryofWal-Mart部分的第3段第3句：Thecompanyhascontinuedtogrowrapidlyafterhisdeathin1992andnowoperatesfourretaildivisions—Wal-MartSupercenters，Wal-Martdiscountstores，NeighborhoodMarketstoresandSam'sClubwarehouses．原文講到Wal-Mart在SamWalton死后繼續(xù)飛速發(fā)展，但是并未提及他的某個(gè)兒子成為其接班人，故答案為NG。
