)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Milesexplainsthatinthe1990’sherealizedthatitwaspossibletoinfluenceweatherpatternsbycreatingabridgebetween‘thepresent’anda‘near-futureevent’inthephysicalspace-timecontinuum.”可知邁爾斯解釋說,在20世紀(jì)90年代,他意識到在物理時空連續(xù)體中,通過在“當(dāng)前”和“近期事件”之間建立一座橋梁,有可能影響天氣模式,由此可知,大衛(wèi)·邁爾斯聲稱能夠影響天氣系統(tǒng),故A項正確。59.ACCCissuedwarningagainstdoingbusinesswithMilesbecause_______.A.hechargedtoomuchfortheservicesprovidedB.therewasnosolidsciencetohackuphistechnologyC.hispracticewasathreattonationalsecurityinterestD.hedidn’tofficiallypatenthistechnologywithACCC【答案】B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“includingasince-deletedsectionofhiscompanywebsite,whichclaimedthathistechnologyused“electromagneticscalarwaves”,whichscientistssaydon’tevenexist.”可知,邁爾斯在其公司網(wǎng)站上聲稱他的技術(shù)使用了“電磁標(biāo)量波”,但科學(xué)家稱這些技術(shù)甚至不存在,由此可知,ACCC警告人們不要與邁爾斯做交易是因為沒有可靠的科學(xué)來解釋他的技術(shù),故B項正確。60.Whatcanbeinferredfromthepa
