The researchers now hope to investigate whether the errors are found at large sporting events. New Scientist asked the International Olympic Committee if timing at the Olympic Games could be affected by this phenome non.The IOC passed the request for comment to Omega,the of- ficial timekeeper of the Games,which didn't respond.

第二部分阅读理解（共4小题；每小题7.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出 最佳选项。 Digital stopwatches can make rounding(四舍五入的) errors of up to 0.11 seconds,which could be enough to change the win ner of close races.Although the devices record time extremely accurately,they often make errors when changing that raw data to human-readable numbers. Most digital stopwatches measure time by counting the pre- dictable oscillations (of a quartz crystal.The crystal will pulse many thousands of times a second and the final count is transformed into seconds in a format known as a floating-point representation that is commonly used by digital devices.
