In states where it is legal, doctors already prescribe it for things like pain, depression, migraines and PTSD — but research has been limited by federal drag laws. A growing quorum ofscientists is calling for legitimate research into marijuana’s potential as a form of medicine.SUPERBUGS BECOME A SUPERTHREATIn 2016, global, leaders promised to address the growing issue of drug resistance ― meaning bacteria that can no longer be treated with antibiotics —during a historic meeting at the U.N. headquarters In New York City. Major progress is yet to be seen, but companies like McDonald’s have vowed to phase out antibiotics in their chicken, and scientists are hunting for new drug compounds in places like caves and the oceans.CRISPR TACKLES CANCERCRISPR is the most hyped technology in medicine for good reason: it allows scientists to easily and inexpensively edit any place of DNA from nearly any species. Recently Chinese scientists have used CRISPR to treat a person with lung cancer. Meanwhile, U.S. scientists are working on the first human trials using CRISPR to treat cancer stateside－the first of what will surely be many studies like it. CLIMATE CHANGE AS PUBLIC- HEALTH THREATClimate change and pollution are contributing to the spread of infectious disease, less nutritious food, asthma and dangerous heat waves. In response, the U.S. and other nations have committed to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by as much as 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. It remains to be seen if President-elect Donald Tramp will honor that commitment, but scientists say the issue is only growing more critical66. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A self-help book.B. A magazine.C. A brochure.D. A manual67. From the passage we know that .A. Marijuana will surely be more widely prescribed by doctors for medical treatment in the U.S.B. McDonald’s chicken treated with antibiotics has contributed to the spread of super bacteria.C. U.S. President will observe the commitment as climate change is threatening publichealth.D. Chinese arid U.S. scientists have made progress in using CRISPR technology to treat disease.BThousands of free, popular children's apps available on the Google Play Store could be violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), according to a new, large­scale study, highlighting growing criticism of Silicon Valley's data ­collection efforts. “This is a market failure，” said Serge Egelman, a co­author of the study. “What we have uncovered points out basic enforcement(执行) work that needs to be do ne.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1，000 children's apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software whose terms explicitly forbid their use for children's apps. The researchers also said nearly half the apps fail to always use standard security measures to transmit sensitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable data­security measures laid out by COPPA.Some of the apps in question included Disn ey's “Where's My Water？”， Gameloft's “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a language learning app. The findings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as COPPA­compliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting children's privacy.Disney argued that the study doesn't claim to identify any actual violations. “Protecting children's online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law，” the company sa id. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and use policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”Gameloft announced that children's privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict data­collection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we are compliant with protection laws，” the company said.Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.Although Google stated that “We are taking the researcher's report very seriously and looking into their findings”， critics of Google's app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in data­tracking technology. “Google has basically looked the other way while it was able to generate revenues off of children's apps，”said Jeffrey Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. “The new, alarming report is further evidence that Google is thumbing its nose at the only federal online privacy law that we have.”68. How did companies respond to the accusation of violating COPPA?A. Gameloft questioned the validity of the study.B. Disney claimed to strictly obey privacy laws.C. Duolingo planned to adopt strict data­collection policies.D. Google admitted to the charge and promised to do more.69. Wha t does the underlined phrase “thumbing its nose at” probably mean?A. Disrespecting.B. Observing.C. Prohibiting.D. Introducing.70. The purpose of the passage is to ________．A. charge app companies with the violation of COPPAB. inform readers of different ways to violate child privacy lawsC. illustrate the growing criticism of app's data­collection functionD. highlight the urgency of strengthening enforcement of COPPACEarly last year, the World Economic Forum issued a paper warning that technological change is on the verge（边缘） of upending（颠倒） the global economy. To fill fee sophisticated jobs of tomorrow, the authors argued, the ‘res killing and upskilling o f today’s wor ke rs will be critical’. Around the same time, the then president Barack Obama announced a ‘computer science for all’ programme for elementary and high schools in the United States. ‘We h ave to make sure all our kids are equipped for the jobs of the future, which means not just being able to work with computers but developing the analytical and coding skills to power our innovation economy,’ he said.But the truth is, only a tiny percentage of people in the post-industrial world will ever end up working in software engineering, biotechnology or advanced manufacturing, Just as the huge machines of the industrial revolution made physical strength less necessary for humans, the information revolution frees us to complement, rather than compete with, the technical competence of computers. Many of the most important jobs of the future will require soft skills, not advanced algebra.Back in 1983, the sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild coined（创造）the term ‘emotional l abour’ to describe the processes involved in managing the emotional demands of work. She explored the techniques that flight attendants used to maintain the friendly manners their airline demanded in the face of abusive customers: taking deep breaths, silently reminding themselves to stay cool, or building empathy for the nasty passenger. ‘I t r y to remember that if he’s drinking too much, he’s probably really seared f flying,’ one attendant explained. ‘I think to myself: “He’s like a little child.”’Across the economy, technology is edging human workers into more emotional territory. In retail Amazon and its imitators are rapidly devouring the market for routine purchases, but to the extent that bricks-and-mortar shops survive. It is because some people prefer chatting with a clerk to clicking buttons,. Already, arguments for preserving rural post offices focus less on their services-handled mostly online-than on their value as centers for community social life.In the sphere of medicine, one of the loudest moments of a physici an’s job is sitting with a patient, surveying how a diagnosis will alter the landscape of that pat ient’s life. That is work no technology can match-unlike surgery, where autonomous robots are learning to perform with superhuman precision. With AI now being developed as a diagnostic tool, doctors have begun thinking about how to complement these automat ed skills. As a strategic report for Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) put it in 2013: ‘T he NHS could employ hundreds of thousands of staff with the right technological skills, but without the compassion to care, then we will have failed to meet the needs of patients.’A growing real-world demand for workers with empathy and a talent for making otherpeople feel at ease requires a serious shift in perspective. It means moving away from our singular focus on academic performance as the road to success. It means giving more respect, and better pay, to workers too often genetically dismissed as ‘unskilled labour’. And, it means valuing skills more often found among working-class women than highly educated men.71. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. President Obama launched a programme to develop people’s soft skills.B. There is no need for people to continue developing technical skills.C. Future jobs will require less physical strength but more soft skills.D. Today’s workers have to upda te their skills to compete with machines.72. The underlined word “empat h y” in Paragraph 3 probably mea ns the ability .A. to appreciate othersB. to forgive othersC. to respect othersD. to understand others73. According to the passage, which work of the following jobs doesn’t involve managing emotional demands?A. Flight attendants.B. Software engineers.C. Shop clerks.D. Medical workers.74. What is the author’s attitude towards emotional skills?A. Favorable.B. Unclear.C. Critical.D. Negative.DMy children are perfect. All four of them. Perfect and beautiful and clever. I bet yours are, too. Except, of course, they are not. In reality, my children and yours are likely to be reasonably average in terms of looks, behavior, intelligence and charm. That’s why it is called average. Your belief in your child being special is more probably a biological thing than a fact.A loved one, particularly a loved child, is edited as we observe them. Other people’s childr en are spoiled; ours are spirited. Theirs are naughty; ours areconfident.This is all natural and even touching when not taken too far. However, it is one thing feeding this idea to ourselves but feeding it to our children may be a little less desirable. We have the idea that —unlike my parents’ generation—we should build our children’s self-respect as high as we can. Therefore, their random scribble (胡写乱画) is up there with Picasso, their C-minus is an unfortunate oversight on the part of the teacher, and the fact that no one wants to be friends with them is because they are particularly clever or sensitive.Children see through this kind of thing very quickly and ignore their parents’ praises as a matter of course. As they grow up, they sense that the wider world judges them differently. This leads to a –hopefully gentle –cynicism (猜忌) about anything their parents tell them about their achievements. Perhaps that is OK —but I’m not sure if it is good for them to have the parental praise so overlooked.If parents were a little harsher sometimes, this could have two positive effects —first, when praise came, it would be more likely to be believed and, second, it would fit in rather more accurately with the picture of reality that the child is forming in their heads.A lot of pressure is put on children who are told they are beautiful, special and perfect. Because then, where is there to go? Only downwards. They become too much aware of their status in your eyes, and a danger must be that they fear failing you. To be over-praised by your parents is the counter side of being criticized all the time. Both can have negative consequences.It is important to give your children the freedom to be flawed (缺点) —to know that it’s OK to be imperfect, and that, in fac t, we often love people for their flaws —perfect people (whom we can only imagine, as they do not exist) are easy to respect, but hard to love.Now I am nearly 60, my main insight is that I am much less special than I once believed. This knowledge has actually been helpful in leading a more well-balanced life.I certainly wouldn’t like to go back to attitudes that my parents, particularlymy father, held, that to praise the child was to “spoil them” or make them bigheaded. However, the history of families is like the history of everything else —the story of overreactions. We praise our children to the skies, partly because we think it makes them feel good, but also because it makes us feel good. And perhaps it is more the latter than the former.Too much love can be as big a burden as a shortage of it. My advice is to limit your praise. Then every piece of praise will count, rather than being just ignored. 75. In some parents’ eyes, who is to blame for their children’s poor grades at school?A. Picasso.B. The teacher.C. The children.D. The children’s friends.76. One possible consequence of parents’ over-praising is that _______.A. the children will therefore become more confidentB. the children will doubt the way the world judges themC. the children will not take their praise seriouslyD. the children will understand no one can be perfect77. According to the passage, some children feel pressure because _______.A. they are often told they are unique and perfectB. the society judges them differently from their parentsC. they are worried that they may let their parents downD. they have no freedom to express how they really feel78. The word “harsher” (Paragraph 5) is closest in meaning to ________.A. gentlerB. severerC. weakerD. stronger79. Which of the following will the writer most probably agree with?A. Children’s self-respect shouldn’t be parents’ major concern.B. The easiest way to spoil a child is to praise him or her.C. Perfect people deserve our respect but not our love.D. Parents should praise their children but not too much.80. Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?A. Pessimistic.B. Approving.C. Enthusiastic.D. Concerned.第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)You can relax if remembering everything is not your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength —in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers Paul Frankland and Blake Richards of the University of Toronto found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision­making as what our minds choose to remember.“The goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time. Rather, the goal of memory is to help improve decision­making. As such, transience(转瞬即逝) is as important as persistence in memory systems，” their study in Neuron states.Making intelligent decisions does not mean you need to have all the information at hand, it just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up­to­date information on situations. Our brains do this by generating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus(海马体), which have the power to overwrite existing memories that are influencing our decision­making.“If you're trying to deal with the situation and your brain is constantly bringing up multiple conflicting memories, that makes it harder for you to make a wise decision，” Richards told Science Daily.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in your brain's learning region, try exercising. Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking, and swimming have been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs, our brain is making a choice that these details do not matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectlyhealthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision­making by stopping us from focusing too much on minor past details. Instead, the brain promotes generalization, helping us remember the most important gist of a conversation.“One of the things that distinguishes an environment where you're going to want to remember stuff versus an environment where you want to forget stuff is this question of how consistent the environment is and how likely things are to come back into your life，” Richards said.If you're an analyst who meets with a client weekly, your brain will recognize that this is a client whose name and story you need to remember. If this is someone you may never meet again, your brain will weigh that information accordingly.These findings show us that total recall can be overrated. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.Title：Being Forgetful Might Actually Mean You're (81)________。
