52. What should non-scientists do to ensure their quality of life?
- A. Seek personalized medical assistance from doctors.
- B. Acquire a basic understanding of medical science.
- C. Have their individual genome sequenced.
- D. Make informed use of animal models.
答案：B
答案句：Furthermore, with continuing advances in individual genome ( 基 因 组 ) sequencing and the advent of personalized medicine, more non-scientists will need to be comfortable analyzing complex scientific information to make decisions that directly affect their quality of life.
S
参考译文：此外，随着个体基因组测序的不断进步和个性化医疗的出现，更多的非科学家将需要能够自如地分析复杂的科学信息，以做出直接影响其生活质量的决定。
定位线索：题干“non-scientists”→答案句取自第3段“more non-scientists”；文中“analyzing complex scientific information”对应选项B“Acquire a basic understanding of medical science”；文中“make decisions that directly affect their quality of life”对应题干“ensure their quality of life”。
解析：题干问非科学家为确保生活质量应做什么，答案句明确指出他们需要“be comfortable analyzing complex scientific information”，即具备理解科学信息的能力，选项B“Acquire a basic understanding of medical science”是对此的同义转述。选项A、C、D均为原文提到的具体事物，但并非对非科学家的要求，属于偷换概念。
54. What does the author say is the problem with science journalism?
- A. It is keen on transmitting sensational information.
- B. It tends to oversimplify people's health problems.
- C. It may give inaccurate or distorted information to the public.
- D. It may provide information open to different interpretations.
答案：C
答案句：Unfortunately, pieces of science journalism can also oversimplify and generalize their subject material to the point that the basic information conveyed is obscured or at worst, obviously wrong. The impact of a basic discovery on human health can be exaggerated so that the public thinks a miraculous cure is a few months to years away when in reality the significance of the study is far more limited.
参考译文：不幸的是，一些科学新闻报道也可能过度简化和概括其主题材料，以至于所传达的基本信息被模糊化，甚至明显错误。一项基础发现对人类健康的影响可能被夸大，使公众认为神奇的疗法只需几个月到几年就能实现，而实际上该研究的意义要有限得多。
定位线索：题干“problem with science journalism”→答案句取自第5段“pieces of science journalism can also oversimplify”；文中“the basic information conveyed is obscured or at worst, obviously wrong”对应选项C“give inaccurate or distorted information”；文中“exaggerated”对应选项C“distorted”。
解析：题干问作者认为科学新闻的问题是什么，答案句明确指出其可能“oversimplify and generalize”导致信息“obscured or obviously wrong”，即可能提供不准确或扭曲的信息，选项C正是对此的同义转述。选项A“sensational information”在原文中未提及，属于无中生有；选项B“oversimplify people's health problems”偷换概念，原文是“oversimplify their subject material”；选项D“open to different interpretations”与原文“obviously wrong”不符。
