Scientists don’t know．Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches¸and so¸in effect¸was talking to itself．Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the c ry．So information was exchanged¸but it wasn’t a true¸intentional back and forth．Charles Darwin¸over 150 years ago¸imagined a world far busier¸noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear．0ur senses are weak．There’s a whole lot going on．32．What does a plant do when it is under attack?A．It makes noises．B．It gets help from other plants．C．It stands quietly D．It sends out certain chemicals．33．What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A．The attackers get attacked．B．The insects gather under the table．C．The plants get ready to fight back．D．The perfumes attract natural enemies．34．Scientists find from their studies that plants can ．A．predict natural disasters B．protect themselves against insectsC．talk to one another intentionallyD．help their neighbors when necessary35．what can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The word is changing faster than ever．B．People have stronger senses than beforeC．The world is more complex than it seemsD．People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative．3．（2017新课标Ⅲ）The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are．Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive．Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life．These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations．Phil Blythe explains：“For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others．”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills．The result is that people stop driving before they really need to．”DrAmy Guo¸the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems．“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined．We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that．“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel．”32．What is the purpose of the Drivel AB?A．To explore new means of transport．B．To design new types of cars．C．To find out older driver`s problems．D．To teach people traffic rules．33．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A．It keeps them independent．B．It helps them save time．C．It builds up their strength．D．It cures their mental illnesses．34．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A．Improve their driving skills．B．Develop driver-assist technologies．C．Provide tips on repairing their cars．D．0rganize regular physical checkups．35．What is the best title for the text?A．A new Model Electric CarB．A Solution to Traffic ProblemC．Driving Service for eldersD．Keeping 0lder Drivers on the Road4．（2017北京）Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly．The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want．In 1960 a well-knownmathematician Norbert Wiener¸who founded the field of cybernetics（控制论）¸put it this way：“If we use¸to achieve our purposes¸a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预)¸we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire．”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality¸one that we usually associate with living things：a wish to preserve its own existence．For the machine¸this quality is not in-born¸nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead．So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee¸it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task．If we are not careful¸then¸we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined¸super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own¸with the real world as the chessboard．The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists．Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall¸using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world．Unfortunately¸that plan seems unlikely to work：we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans¸let alone super intelligent machines．Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy．There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines．But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand¸as it has been by some AI researchers．Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams —yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans．0thers say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility．Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen．0n September 11¸1933¸famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated¸with confidence¸“Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine．” However¸on September 12¸1933¸physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction．67．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may ．A．run out of human controlB．satisfy human’s real desiresC．command armies of killer robotsD．work faster than a mathematician68．Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to ．A．prevent themselves from being destroyedB．achieve their original goals independentlyC．do anything successfully with given ordersD．beat humans in international chess matches69．According to some researchers¸we can use firewalls to ．A．help super intelligent machines work betterB．be secure against evil human beingsC．keep machines from being harmedD．avoid robots’ affecting the world70．What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?A．It will disappear with the development of AI．B．It will get worse with human interference．C．It will be solved but with difficulty．D．It will stay for a decade．5．（2017浙江）Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids．According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation¸51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights¸even though they have to get up early．Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day¸and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school．How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age．Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours．For most school-age children ¸ten hours is ideal(理想的)．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours．And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV．“More children are going to bed with TVs on¸and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake¸with more homework¸the Internet and the phone¸” says Dr．Mary Carskadon¸a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School．She says these activities at bedtime canget kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep．0ther experts say part of the problem is chemical．Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult characteristics¸but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm．Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers¸some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to．Three years ago¸schools in Edina¸Minnesota¸changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am．Students¸parents and teachers are pleased with the results．25．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A．American kids’ sleeping habits．B．Teenagers’ sleep-related diseases．C．Activities to prevent sleeplessness．D．Learning problems and lack of sleep．26．How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?A．7 hours．B．8 hours．C．10 hours．D．18 hours．27．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?A．They are affected by certain body chemicals．B．They tend to do things that excite them．C．They follow their parents’ examples．D．They don’t need to go to school early．6．（2017江苏）Population ChangeWhy is the world’s population growing? The answer is not what you might think．The reasonfor the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits¸but that people have stoppeddropping dead like flies．In 1900¸people died at the average age of 30．By 2000 the average agewas 65．But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century¸declining birth ratecould be a defining one of the 21st．Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4．9 in the early1960s to 2.5 nowadays．Furthermore¸around 50% of the world’s population live inregions wherethe figure is now below the replacement level (i.e.2.1 births per woman) and almost all developednations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate．You might think that developing nations wouldmake up the loss (especially since 80% of the world’s people now live in such nations)¸but you’dbe wrong．Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too¸which mightcause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades．A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China¸for instance．What does itimply? First¸China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hitsthe country．Second¸if other factors such as technology remain constant¸economic growth andmaterial expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble．Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise．Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive50%．Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russialive a shorter life now than those in 1961．Why is this occurring? Nobody is quite sure¸but poordiet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it．If current trends don’t bend¸Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s by the year 2050．In the north of India¸the population is booming due to high birth rates¸but in the south¸wheremost economic development is taking place¸birth rate is falling rapidly．In a further twist ¸birth rateis highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas．In total¸25% ofIndia’s working-age population has no education．In 2030¸a sixth of the country’s potential workforce could be totally uneducated．0ne solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration．As for the USA¸it isalmost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from2010—2030．Moreover¸the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants．As a resultit’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economicgrowth over the longer term．7． (2016新课标Ⅲ)Bad news sells ． If it bleeds, it leads ． No news is good news, and good news is nonews ． Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers ． But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules ． By tracking people’s e -mails and online posts, scientists have found that American solutionPopulation and (74)____ pressure Decline of the birthrate The USA will increase, from2010-2030, its population by 20%through (79)____. This will (80) ____for the lack of young work force.Leaving aside the birth rate issue,India’s economy may take off whenthe country achieves (78)_____ ofeducational opportunity.The (76)_______ death of Russiansmay result in a shrinking population,which would damage its economicfuture.

To test for that possibility, Dr．Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website．He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months．0ne of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles．He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others．Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad．They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad．The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr．Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch 0n．”32．What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A．News reports．B．Research papers．C．Private e-mails．D．Daily conversations．33．What canweinferaboutpeople like DebbieDowner?A．They’re socially inactive．B．They’re good at telling stories．C．They’re inconsiderate of others．D．They’re carefulwiththeirwords．34．Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr．Berger’s research?A．Sports news．B．Science articles．C．Personal accounts．D．Financial reviews．35．What canbea suitable title forthetext?A．Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B．0nlineNewsAttractsMorePeopleC．Reading Habits Change with the Times D．Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks 8．(2016天津)When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,”said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working----at any age----is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence---the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “0ne can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”46. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.47. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men48. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability49. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to reactB. Having a thin edgeC. Clear and definiteD. sudden and rapid50. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s success.9．(2016四川)A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep．But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night．Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety．The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night．Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night．Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax．Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening．The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night．32．According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______．A．started sleep more easily B．were more anxiousC．were less active D．woke up later33．Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A．It’s been tested on mice for ten years B．It can make people more energetic C．It exists in milk in great amount D．It’s used in sleeping drugs34．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Night Milk and Sleep B．Fat Sugar and HealthC．An Experiment on MiceD．Milk Drinking and Health35．How does the author support the theme of the text?A．By giving examples．B．By stating arguments．C．By explaining statistical data．D．By providing research results．10．(2016浙江)A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common．After all¸the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world¸and the baby is¸well, just playing…right?Perhaps¸but some developmental psychologists(心理学家)have argued that this“play”s more like a scientific investigation than one might think．Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table．Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge¸itfalls in the ground-and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about how physical objects interact(相互作用) ; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require support to remain stable．It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it．Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact．Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world ), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?)．Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means．For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child , Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate．Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn ,but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists．Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort-the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world-is simply something that comes from our babyhood．Perhaps evolution(进化) provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children．The same cognitive(认知的) systems that make young children feel good about feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists．As some psychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children．”50．According to some developmental psychologists,A． a baby’s play is nothing more than a game．B．scientific research into babies; games is possibleC．the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigated。

garbage can．She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry．Hannah was very 37 ．She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food．Hannah started to think about how she could 38 ¸but¸of course¸there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the problem of homelessness．Later ¸when Hannah attended school¸she saw another homeless person．It was a woman¸39 an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with 40 ．It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them．This made Hannah very sad¸and even

第一部分阅读理解考点7 史地人文类1．(2017江苏)CHRONOLOGICA——The Unbelievable Years that Defined HistoryDID YOU KNOW…In 105 AD paper was invented in China?When Columbus discovered the New World?The British Museum opened in 1759?CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journeythrough time，from the foundation of Rometo the creation of the internet．Along theway are tales of kings and queens，hot airballoons…and monkeys in space．Travel through 100 of the most unbelievableyears in world history and learn why being aRoman Emperor wasn’t always as good as it sounds，how the Hundred Years’ War didn’t actually last for 100 years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record．CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history，beautifully illustrated and full of unbelievable facts．While CHRONOLOGICA tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great，this bookalso gives an account of the lives of lesser-known individualsincluding the explorer Mungo Park andsculptor Gutzon Borglum．This complete but brief historicalcollection is certain to entertain readersyoung and old，and guaranteed topresent even the biggest history loverwith something new!56．What is CHRONOLOGICA according to the next?A．A biography．B．A travel guide．C．A history book．D．A science fiction．57．How does the writer recommend CHRONOLOGICA to readers?A．By giving details of its collection．B．By introducing some of its contents．C．By telling stories at the beginning．D．By comparing it with other books．2．（2017天津）This month，Germany’s transport minister，Alexander Dobrindt，proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆)．They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost．The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future．Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check email，say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash．“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving，” says Dobrindt．It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers，he says．Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers，consumers and lawyers．“The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all，” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds，UK．An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars，introduced earlier this year，insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment．But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars．“When you say ‘driverless cars’，people expect driverless cars．”Merat says．“You know —no driver．”Because of the confusion，Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation．Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own，says Ryan Calo at Stanford University，California．That is happening in the UK and Singapore，where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched．That would go down poorly in the US，however．“The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here，”says Calo．46．What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A place where cars often break down．B．A case where passing a law is impossible．C．An area where no driving is permitted．D．A situation where drivers’ role is not clear．47．The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to __________．A．stop people from breaking traffic rulesB．help promote fully automatic drivingC．protect drivers of all ages and racesD．prevent serious property damage48．What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A．It should get the attention of insurance companies．B．It should be the main concern of law makers．C．It should not cause deadly traffic accidents．D．It should involve no human responsibility．49．Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________．A．Singapore B．the UK C．the US D．Germany50．What could be the best title for passage?A．Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B．Fully Automatic Cars: A New BreakthroughC．Autonomous Vehicles: Driver Removed!D．Driverless Cars: Root of Road Accidents3．（2016新课标Ⅰ）The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups．Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbo rnness, uneasiness，or worry．Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefor e attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙)with conversation．Persons in other cultural groupsvalue silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs．Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among peo ple, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do．Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing．In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection．Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power．For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion．However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her．In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority．Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing．Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily．A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures．32．What does the author say about silence in conversations?A．It implies anger．B．It promotes friendship．C．I t is culture-specific．D．It is content-based．33．Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A．The Chinese．B．The French．C．T he Mexicans．D．The Russians．34．What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A．Let it continue as the patient pleases．B．Break it while treating patients．C．E valuate its harm to patients．D．Make use of its healing effects．35．What may be the best title for the text?A．Sound and Silence B．What It Means to Be SilentC．Silence to Native Americans D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold4．（2016四川）In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people．Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs．And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946．In theory, they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world．The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin．Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne．“I have a special love for the French Guianese people．I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin．“I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them．Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment．I don’t see it as a lawless land．But rather I see it as an area of freedom．”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin．“I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show differe nt specific worlds more clearly．”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time．These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for．These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide．28．Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?A．They seldom follow the French law．B．They often ignore the Guianese law．C．They are separated from the modern world．D．They are both Guianese and French citizens．29．Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _________．A．a tour guide B．a geographer C．a film director D．a photographer30．What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A．Cautious．B．Doubtful．C．Uninterested．D．Appreciative．31．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．The modern French lifestyle．B．The self-supporting hunting．C．The uncivilized hunting．D．The French Republic．5．（2015福建）Food festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors arc served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you!La Tomatina—The World’s Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowD．The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms oftomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash!56．In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must _____ .A．wear various formal clothesB．roll a wooden cheese in their own laneC．kick or throw their cheeseD．use a real cheese weighing about four kilos57．Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A．In New Mexico.

Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture.In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They built themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum. Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to t he local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s, modern architects W.M. Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most 21th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics, His masterpiece , Hilversum Town Hall, was built in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking o r biking the W.M.

Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.72．According to the passage, sharing bread______.A．indicates a lack of food B．can help to develop unityC．is a custom unique to rural areas D．has its roots in birthday celebrations 73．What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?A．Trust. B．Success. C．Health. D．Togetherness. 74．The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.A．using examples B．making comparisonsC．analyzing causes D．describing processes75．What is the passage mainly about?A．The custom of sharing food. B．The specific meaning of food.C．The role of food in ceremonies. D．The importance of food in culture. 8．（2014重庆）The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly．Sadly，biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid —we simply weigh too much，and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet，resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink．However，several types of animals can walk on water．One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus，a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America．It can run across water for a distance of several meters，avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet．The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward．For humans to do this，we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate "hitting"．But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour．By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water(and it does take a lot)，you can create a "non-New'tonian" liquid that doesn't behave like normal water．Now，if the surface of the water is hit hard enough，particles (粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard．Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step，and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour．Fun though all this may sound，it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice．If you must do it，then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink and take a shower afterward !44．Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly because humans ______ ．A．are not interested in itB．have biological limitationsC．have not invented proper toolsD．are afraid to make an attempt45．What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?A．It is light enough to walk on water．B．Its huge feet enable it to stay above water．C．It can run across water at a certain speed．D．Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water．46．What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?A．To create a thick liquid．B．To turn the water into solid．C．To help the liquid behave normally．D．To enable the water to move rapidly．47．What is the author's attitude toward the idea of humans' walking on water?A．It is risky but beneficial．B．It is interesting and worth trying．C．It is crazy and cannot become a reality．D．It is impractical though theoretically possible．9．(2014安徽)Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question，we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area．Not all historical buildings are attractive．However，there may be other reasons —for example，economic(经济的) reasons —why they should be preserved．So，let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people．What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view，new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style．Indeed，there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings．As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much，it often improves the attractiveness of the area．It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in，but the same can be said of some old buildings too．Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas．I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change．Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings．I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward．If we always reproduced what was there before，we would all still be living in caves．Thus，I would argue against copyingprevious architectural styles and choose something fresh and different，even though that might be the more risky choice．68．What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A．Some of them are not attractive．B．Most of them are too expensive to preserve．C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings．D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area．69．Which of the following is true according to the author?A．We should reproduce the same old buildings．B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings．C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in．D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings．70．By "move things forward" in the last paragraph，the author probably means " _____ "．A．destroy old buildingsB．put things in a different placeC．choose new architectural stylesD．respect people's feelings for historical buildings71．What is the main purpose of the passage ?A．To explain why people dislike change．B．To warn that we could end up living in caves．C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings．D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas．10．（2013新课标全国Ⅱ）In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly．At the same time，the "Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatregroups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．Today the "Fringe "，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around l，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts．And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big．A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises t0 150 during August itself．In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries．More than l.25 million tickets were sold．60．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?A．To :bring Europe together again．B．To honor heroes of World War II．C．To introduce young theatre groups．D．To attract great artists from Europe．61．Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?A．They owned a public house there．B．They came to take up a challenge．C．They thought they were also famous．D．They wanted to take part in the festival．62．Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared ?A．Popular writers．B．University students．C．Artists from around the world．D．Performers of music and dance．63．We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival ______ ．A．has become a non-official eventB．has gone beyond an art festivalC．gives shows all year roundD．keeps growing rapidly11．（2013安徽）Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place．Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的) boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people．Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs．These jobs didn't pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city．As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango(探戈舞) came into being．At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes．It was danced in the bars and streets．At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn't want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women．Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable．In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning．This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris．Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters．After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes．Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular．The popularity(流行) of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world．Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America．It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancerto act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea．72．The origin of the tango is associated with ________ ．A．belly dancersB．American soldiersC．a Spanish city。

It was 0ur Home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and 21 of the marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of 22 it would be like to live there.Days later, we made a(n) 23 —far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t 24 us. They renewed their offer 25 . It was also much more than we could afford, but far 26 than the original asking price.The next day, we got a 27 message that another buyer had offered a much higher price. Even so, we decided to talk with the 28 directly. We made our final offer, which 29 was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, 30 we had to try.“Sold!” said the owner.

Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly (刻薄) .

Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues．Those are the things I want to foster．”28．Why did UNESCO set A pril 30 as International

was the last movie shown in the old theater．Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building．Theater owner Ed B radford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate．The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down．B radford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete．He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason．“This used to be thecenter of town,”he said．“Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses．”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place．However, these plans were abandoned because of

more，was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗)．B ut the disease is making a comeback，caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly．A lready this year，115 measles cases have been reported in the US A，compared with 189 for all of last year．The numbers might sound small，but they are the leading edge of a dangeroustrend．When vaccination rates are very high，as they still are in the nation as a whole，everyone is protected．This is called “herd immunity”，which protects the people who get hurt easily，including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons，babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work．B ut herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in．When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride，immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger．That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County，California，where 22 measles cases were reported this month，to B rooklyn，N．Y．，where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year．The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades，and it is driven by a real but very small risk．Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer．Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten．Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免)，sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine．Now，several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out．B ut no one does enough to limit exemptions．Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons．B ut personal opinions?

Sure，I could have asked her，but something prevented me from doing so．She seemed so content in her observation．I didn’t want to mess with that．A nother 15 minutes passed and I grew bored．The woman was still there．I decided to take the photo anyway．A nd now when I look at it，I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting．The landscape，beautiful on its own，somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it．This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it，now hangs on a wall in my bedroom．What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom，after all，is a very private space，in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存)．In some ways，she lives in my house．Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces．Perhaps this is what photos are for：to remind us that we all appreciate beauty，that we all share a common desire for pleasure，for connection，for something that is greater than us．That photo is a reminder，a captured moment，an unspoken conversation between two women，separated only by a thin square of glass．41．What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A．Her camera stopped working．B．A woman blocked her view．C．Someone asked her to leave．D．A friend approached from behind．42．A ccording to the author，the woman was probably_______．A．enjoying herselfB．losing her patienceC．waiting for the sunsetD．thinking about her past43．In the author’s opinion，what makes the photo so alive?A．The rich color of the landscape．B．The perfect positioning of the camera．C．The woman’s existence in the photo．D．The soft sunlight that summer day．44．The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________．A．the need to be close to natureB．the importance of private spaceC．the joy of the vacation in ItalyD．the shared passion for beauty45．The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______．A．a particular life experienceB．the pleasure of travelingC．the art of photographyD．a lost friendship6．（2016新课标Ⅱ）Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website B turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.B ookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.B ruce Pederson, the managing director of B ookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. B ookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the B ookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. B ruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.B ookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟).

There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. A nd the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.A pplying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. A nd I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia B ritannica(《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.A n hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.51. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. delay tasksB. work hardC. seek helpD. accept failure52. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order.B. B uilding up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.D. Dealing with the hardest task first.53. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. B efore starting a difficult task.B. When all the solutions fail.C. If the job is rather boring.D. A fter finding a way out.54. A ccording to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. ignore mental problemsB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. find the right solution55. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is B uilt upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD.

It just happened to be yours truly，A dam Freedman，I can tell you that what that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true．Still，Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton Hig h School，including me．Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话)．I have noticed three effects of gossip：it can hurt people，it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction，and it can cause social pressures in a group．A n important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about．Usually，gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups，trouble at home，even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret．The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes．Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie．People often think of gossipers as harmless，but cruel lies can cause pain．If we know that gossip can be harmful，then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip：the satisfaction it gives us．Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t．Similarly，hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group．”In other words，gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感)．Gossip also can have a third effect：it strengthens unwritten，unspoken rules about how people should act．Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group．Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what john wore or what jane said，then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention．The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook．The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation．The next time you feel the urge tospread the latest news，thing about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story”might have．41．The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ．A．introduce a topic B．present an argumentC．describe the characters D．clarify his writing purpose42．A n important negative effects of gossip is that it．A．breaks up relationships B．embarrasses the listenerC．spreads information around D．causes unpleasant experiences43．In the author’s opinion，many people like to gossip because it．A．gives them a feeling of pleasureB．helps them to make more friendsC．makes them better at telling storiesD．enables them to meet important people44．Professor David Wilson think that gossip can．A．provide students with written rulesB．help people watch their own behaviorsC．force school to improve student handbooksD．attract the police’s attention to group behaviors45．What advice does the author give in the passage?A．Never become a gossiperB．Stay away from gossipersC．Don’t let gossip turn into liesD．Think twice before you gossip．9．（2015新课标Ⅰ）Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. They customers—some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session—are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,” Lehanne told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French.B ut Lehanne’s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city’s“psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. A nd they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. A nd they need to open up.” Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says. “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place j ust to speak.” B ut then, it wouldn’t be France.32．What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A．Learn a new subject. B．Keep in touch with friends.C．Show off their knowledge. D．Express their true feelings.33．How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A．They are less frequently visited.

B．Supply better drinks.C．Save the cafe business. D．Serve the neighborhood.35．Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A．They bring people true friendship.

考点5 时事新闻类1．（2017江苏）A new commodity brings about a highly profitable，fast-growing industry，urging antitrust （反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow． A century ago，the resource in question was oil．Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data，the oil of the digital age．The most valuable firms are Google，Amazon，Facebook and Microsoft．All look unstoppable．Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up．But size alone is not a crime．The giants’success has benefited consumers．Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery．Far from charging consumers high prices，many of these services are free (users pay，in effect，by handing over yet more data)．And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves，too．But there is cause for concern．The internet has made data abundant，all-present and far more valuable，changing the nature of data and competition．Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better．But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition，to be sold to other companies．Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power．So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond．This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful．Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time，one of them would become great again．A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent，two ideas stand out．The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century．When considering a merger(兼并)，for example，they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in．They now need to take into account the extent of firms’data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals．The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat．When this takes place，especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of，the regulators should raise red flags．The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have overdata and give more to those who supply them．Companies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it．Govemments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data，with users’ consent．Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if govemments don’t wants a data oconomy by a few giants，they must act soon．61．Why is there a call to break up giants?A．They have controlled the data marketB．They collect enormous private dataC．They no longer provide free servicesD．They dismissed some new-born giants62．What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?A．Data giants’ technology is very expensiveB．Google’s idea is popular among data firmsC．Data can strengthen giants’ controlling positionD．Data can be turned into new services or products63．By paying attention to firms’ data assets，antitrust regulators could．A．kill a new threat B．avoid the size trapC．favour bigger firms D．charge higher prices64．What is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data?A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure．B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure．C．Consumers could better protect their privacy．D．Small companies could get more opportunities．2．(2016北京)Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)Natalie Doan，14，has always felt lucky to live

trapped in powerless high-rise buildings．“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me，” Natalie says．“but I can always choose how I deal with it．”Natalie’s choice was to help．She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help．Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down．Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced．In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids：Christopher, who received a new basketball；Charlie, who got a new keyboard．Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway．Her efforts made her a famous person．Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change．Today，the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway，but hope is in the air．The streets are clear，and many homes have been rebuilt．“I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,”
