68、em by the scientists.【答案】ADDC【文章大意】这篇短文讲述的是英国政府在设立经度奖300年后，重新设置了百万奖项，给那些能破解世界难题的人。短文中还给我们讲述了第一届经度奖，以及Cameron重设这一奖项的目的。【解析】6.细节理解题。根据短文的开头第一句话“The British government will offer 1,000,000 to anyone who can solve the worlds biggest problemwhatever it might be,”可知，英国政府提供1,000,000英镑，给那些能解决世界最大问题的人，不管什么问题

69、都可以。故选A。7.推理判断题。短文中提到了经度奖，这是一个英国政府用来奖励能在海上确定准确方位的人的奖项，是在1714年设立的。现在300年后，受经度奖的影响，Cameron又重新设立奖项，奖励那些能解决世界难题的人。根据文章中The competition follows the example of the Longitude Prize started by the government in 1714可知D选项符合文意。8.推理判断题。根据短文第四、五段的内容可知，在1714年，英国政府提供20,000英镑的奖金，奖励能在海上准确定位的人。由此我们可见，当时航海业对于英国是多么的重要

70、。故选D。9. 推理判断题。根据短文内容可知，第一个经度奖被Harrison获得，文章中并没有提到说他就确定自己一定能得到这个奖项，故A不对；根据短文内容可知，这个奖项是给那些能破解世界难题的人，不一定是科学家；根据短文中such as finding a replacement(替代) for oil, producing low cost food or curing AIDS/HIV.可知，找到石油的替代品只是世界上难题之一，故D表述与文章内容不一致；根据短文的内容可知，it is important to “encourage new ideas” and “attract back the best and the brightest” to Britain.，英国政府奖励百万英镑给那些有创新能力，能解决世界难题的人，故C是正确的。18原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！
