　　答案：BCACB

　　文章分析：典型實驗型文章，包含五大要素：目的、原理、方法、數(shù)據(jù)、結(jié)論。其中，實驗原理過于專業(yè)幾乎不考，實驗方法、數(shù)據(jù)等細節(jié)性描寫，屬于次要信息很少考到，重點關注實驗的目的與結(jié)論。

　　第6題針對mean to目的發(fā)問，對應文章開頭目的性表達。

　　第7題針對number數(shù)據(jù)發(fā)問，注意數(shù)據(jù)本身不重要，數(shù)據(jù)前或后的結(jié)論才重要，a remarkably high number是三段唯一值得關注的有效信息，high而不是higher說明原文沒有比較，是一個絕對高的數(shù)字，選項A(above)B(higher)D(as…as)都包含了比較，故排除。

　　第8題針對findings結(jié)論發(fā)問，按照出題順序，對應在文章中間的四、五段，分別由found、show引導出12兩個結(jié)論關于distance，同時由一個并列連詞also引出3第三個結(jié)論關于speed。因為原文提及出optimum (最佳的)，因此既不能過近或過遠也不能過快或過慢，故BC排除。

　　第10題針對conclusions結(jié)論發(fā)問，按順序?qū)�應在最后，末段結(jié)論45退休misguided，故A排除。原文physical condition is less critical(critical：the most important)，故C排除。D中poor physical condition的poor含義過于寬泛，意味physical condition無所謂不重要，只要有經(jīng)驗就可以，而原文less critical雖非最重要，但絕對意義上仍然重要不能忽視，故D排除。
