【答案解析】
全文介绍了APIEL与传统英语测试对比所显出的新功能。

2. A。细节题。 阅读全文可知B、C、D与原文不符，再根据 the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams 得知 APIEL 作为新的测试系统不是短时间就能为人们所接受，故答案选 A。
3. B。词义猜测题。 根据第 1 行 a new and comprehensive exam 和第 4 段it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams 可知 current 意思为现实的，目前的，故知 B 为正确答案。
4. D。主旨题。阅读全文可知由于传统测试不能适应新形势对学生的要求，从而设计了一种新的测试系统 APIEL，故选 D。

New York: when the first jet struck, World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the People in 2 World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they, too, must do: get out fast.
Katherine Hachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Hachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Centre, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (经理), screamed and set off too.
But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.
Amid the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the sound tower instructed people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower.
Some left, others stayed. Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions(警告) to stop or return, went hack up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were doomed(注定死亡) when the second jet crashed into the south tower, killing many and stranding(使某物留在) many more in the floors above where the jet hit.
One of those caught in indecision was the executive at Fuji Bank UAS.(责任编辑：www.360gaokao.com)
