And, although you aren’t in a classroom, you certainly won’t be left all alone .” 可知，Linguaphone课程可以让学习者根据自己的节奏、时间和地点学习，哪怕不是在教室，也不会是独自一人。故可以推断该课程可以让学习者自学，并不是到Linguaphone课程中心去学习。故C错误，D正确。
尽管第一段最后一句话 “Study as little as half an hour a day and in twelve weeks you could be talking confidently in the language of your choice.” 提到，该课程让学习者12周内可以自信地讲学习的语言，但这毕竟是做广告，广告词不免有夸大的成分，可见A 并不能作为合理的推断。广告以销售产品为目的，不会免费。故答案B错误。

【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(三)】C
Technology has been an encouragement of historical change.It acted as such a force in England beginning in the eighteenth century，and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture(制造) of goods，which has changed ideas about work.One of the first changes was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufacture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product：each nail was exactly like every other nail，meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail.This means that goods could be mass production，although mass production required breaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks.
Once this was done，workers no longer started on the product and laboured to complete it.Instead，they might work only one thousandth of it，other workers completing their own parts in certain order.There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today’s standards.Highly skilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques，as mass production allowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasn’t the only loser，the common workers lost too.Similar changes forced farmers away.The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the land and harvesting its crops.They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers.Increasingly，standards were set by machines.Workers no longer owned their own tools，their skill was no longer valued，and pride in their work was no longer possible.Workers fed，looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.
36．In this passage，which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?
A．Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.
B．The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.
C．The increased use of machines to make products in less time.
D．The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.
37．The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to________.
A．the use of scientific findings
B．the practice of producing the same parts for a product
C．the human power being replaced by other forms of energy
D．the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change
38．The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to the change that________.
A．each nail could be taken the place of by every other nail
B．each nail was exactly like every other nail
C．producing tasks became smaller and smaller
D．goods could be mass produced
39．According to the writer，highly skilled workers________.
A．completely disappeared with the coming of the factory system
B．were dismissed by the boss
C．were unable to produce goods of high standard
D．were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines
40．According to the passage，what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?
A．Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers.
B．They stuck to their farm work.
C．They refused to use machines.
D．They did their best to learn how to use the machines.
36．B [原文中并未说对工人剥削的增加，故选项B为正确答案。]
37．C [倒置的一个主要目的就是使句子间连接紧密，因此单词this指上一句的内容。]
38．D [在条件句中，this 指上文的内容：货物批量生产。]
39．D [可从第二段第四句知道D项为正确答案。]
40．A [可根据第二段第六句及第八句判断A项为正确答案。]

【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(三)】D
“If there is one thing I’m sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturdays or Sundays.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.”
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering.In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news，etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition among the different media.They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn’t happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet，it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
41．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Best Way to Get News
B．The Changes of Media
C．Make Your Own Newspaper
D．The Future of Newspapers
42．In the writer’s opinion，in the future，________.
A．more big political affairs，wars and disasters will make news
B．newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C．newspapers will cover more scientific research
D．more and more people will watch TV
43．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news.
B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news.
D．What you are interested in.
44．From the passage，we can infer________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B．newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C．television will take the place of newspapers
D．the writer believes some media will die out
45．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A．depend on B．compete with
C．fight with D．kill off
41．D [标题归纳题。根据文章第一句“100年后人们仍要读报”，到后面文章讲到报纸跟人们生活的关系、报纸的形式和内容，可归纳出此题的答案为D项。]
42．C [细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句可知此题答案为C项。]
43．D [推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句可推知此题答案为D项。]
44．B [推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句及全文内容可推知此题答案为B项。]
45．A [词义猜测题。作者上一句说人们错误地认为各种不同的媒体相互竞争，以及feed off 所在句中的actually一词，再结合所给的4个选项，可知A项最佳。]
