阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项里面，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Which tablet computer should YOU be buying: They are this year's must have... and there's a style to suit everyone？
Aimed at children
between three and nine
(though a nine-year-old
might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more). Besides, the LeapPad does not allow access to the internet —so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate.
Pros: The education games are well-designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director.
Cons: Some of the games are shockingly expensive. And the power adaptor is not included.
The iPad is still the
market leader, and for
good reason. If the
teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose.
Pros: No other tablet can compete with the near one million ‘apps’ (the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the iPad. Simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology.
Cons: Considerably more expensive than most competitors.
Best for working parents
Microsoft Surface, £399-£559
Tablets are
brilliant for
leisure —but what if you want to do a bit of work? No tablet can yet compete with a full-size laptop computer, but this is the only tablet that allows you to use Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint (they are all pre-installed and included in the price) and you can buy a pretty lovely mini- keyboard for typing letters and Best for bookworms
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, £109
Nearly all tablets
let you download books.
It's a great way to take a
mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase.
But most tablets have a shiny screen —which can be very distracting when you're trying to read. The Paperwhite is different:
56. The underlined phrase ‘stumble across’ most probably means
‘___________’.
A. meet with
B. quarrel with
C. compare with
D. compete with
57. Which of the following about Surface is NOT TRUE?
A. The keyboard will add to the cost.
B. The keyboard can serve as a cover.
C. You have to pay extra to install Microsoft Word.
D. You can watch movies or surf the Internet with it.
58. If you are a game lover, which tablet is least likely to be your
choice?
A. LeapPad Explorer 2.
B. iPad 4th generation.
C. Microsoft Surface.
D. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.
B
The son of a piano producer, Elwyn Brooks White was born in Mount Vernon in a wealthy family．And he was raised with the mix of
sophistication〔良好(liánghǎo)教养〕 and common sense that would mark his writing．
After graduation, White spent a year as a newspaper reporter in New York City, and then decided to drive across the country with a friend. The trip gave White a lifetime of anecdotes.“When they ran out of money," White's friend, James Thurber, noted, "they played
for their supper and their gasoline on an interesting musical instrument that White had made out of some pieces of wire and an old shoe."
When White returned to New York City in the mid-1920s, he spent a few years bouncing between advertising jobs and unemployment before trying his hand again at writing. Not very seriously, he sent some essays to a new magazine called The New Yorker. Since its founding in 1925, the magazine had struggled to find its niche, and White's work helped put the New Yorker on the map. His essays were funny and sophisticated; they spoke equally to socialites(社会名流〕and cab drivers, professors and repairmen. Through his essays, which he wrote for nearly 50 years, White helped give The New Yorker its voice and identity.
In 1945, already a leading literary figure, White switched to his second occupation writing children's books. He moved from New York to a farm in Maine, where he raised chickens and geese. Seeking a way to amuse his nieces and nephews, White started to write
stories for them. “Children were always after me to tell them a story and I found I couldn't do it," he said. “So I had to get it down on paper.〞
By the time he died from Alzheimer's disease in 1985, White's essays had appeared in more literary collections in colleges than
those of any other writer. Many said his essays matched his personality: sophisticated without being simple, critical without being mean.
59．What do we learn from Paragraph 2?
A．White took the trip to realize his lifelong dream．
B．The trip had a lasting effect on White's personality．
C．The travelling companion found White's music talent．
D．White had many experiences to talk about after the trip．60．The underlined part "its niche" means something that ．A. suits its sponsors' tastes B. protects its social identity C. helps to build its own style D. voices its authors' concern 61．What do we know about White's works?
A. They originally came from the stories told by his nieces．
B. They were intended for people of different social status．
C. They helped the New Yorker find its position on the map．
D. They were chosen by college textbooks when they came out．
C
Seligman is leading the research on what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology. Since World War II, psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken —repairing psychosis〔精神病〕, and neurosis〔精神衰弱(jīngshén shuāiruò)〕. Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.
When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such ‘positive psychology’ he found only 800 out of 70,000.
‘Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,’ said Seligman, a psychology professor of the University of Pennsylvania. ‘My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.’
In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less
happy as a people. ‘While our quality of life has increased
dramat ically over that time, and we’ve become richer, we’re in an epidemic of depression,’ Seligman said. ‘Depression is 10 times
more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.’Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting
psy chology’s model away from its narrow-minded focus on mental
illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength that increase people’s happiness. If you want to be happy, forget about winning
the lottery〔抽奖〕, getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues
that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can increase our own happiness by making use of the strengths and virtues that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the field ‘Positive Psychology,’ arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than mourning, and, hence, trying to repair, our weaknesses. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.
To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance your happiness-generating system.
62.The distinctive feature of Seligman’s work lies in ______.
A. evaluating the psychological state of people
B. making a study of people who suffer from mental illness
C. focusing the scientific examination on the happy or joyful people
D. figuring out the exact number of the academic articles about ‘positive
psychology’
63.What does Seligman mean by saying ‘take a plus 2 person and boost him to
a plus 6’?
A. We should focus on happy or joyful people.
B. We need more and more happy and joyful people.
C. It’s difficult to make people happy from a plus 2 to plus 6.
D. Happy people also need to improve their level of happiness.
64.According to the passage, which of the statements might Martin Seligman
support?
A. Promotion leads to true happiness.
B. We can rely on our strengths for happiness.
C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.
D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.
65.The passage mainly talks about ______.
A. strengths and happiness
B. ways to
cultivate happiness
C. development of psychology
D. effect of
positive psychology
Does style really sell?
How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson, British inventor of the Dyson vacuum 〔真空(zhēnkōng)〕cleaner that has sold in millions around the world, resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum. It is widely believed that
Mr．Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style and fashion at the expense of serious industrial design.
Mr．Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself. He may be right, but these days, museums everywhere can no longer
afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning. Among competition for sponsorship, they must use exhibitions of populist culture, nice cafes and shops or, best of all, a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers．
On the one hand, some producers can be too old-fashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods. On the other hand there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important. Design is indeed a broad term, involving both function and form. Typically, in any given product area, it changes from the former to the latter. Clothing is a good example. But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance was more important than what it did.
Today nearly all goods at any given price-point do much the same job. So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer, which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging; or the imagery created by advertising. And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaners? Mr. Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction, but most vacuum cleaners do a good job. The main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is because it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand. With its inside workings exposed, it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its
pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside. Functional it may be, but it is a bit of a trick, too．66．Mr. Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the museum ．
A. didn't increase the number of visitors
B. couldn't provide scholarships for learners
C. wasn't loyal to its original purpose of learning
D. hadn't great appeal for serious industrial designs
67. Speaking of clothing, the underlined word "latter" refers
to ．
A. affording protection
B. indicating one's identity
C. providing warmth
D. making someone beautiful
68. What is the author's opinion in Paragraph 4?
A. A product with convenient packaging sells well．
B. The majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods．
C. Most similarly priced products are of a comparable standard．
D. Emotion contributes much to the development of advertising
industry．
69. The author believes that people buy the Dyson vacuum cleaner
because ．
A. it has very good suction
B. it has a fashionable range
C. it sells well around the world
D. it is invented by James
Dyson
70．What is the author's attitude towards the form of a product? A. Optimistic． B. Skeptical． C. Disapproving． D. Objective．第二节〔一共5小题(xiǎo tí) ；每一小题2分，一共10分〕
The Making of “Tipping Point〞
Many of the most expensive commercials ever made are those in which a film star flashes a beautiful smile at the cameras. ___71___ Their recent television advertisement, the most expensive in British history, cost ten million pounds, and it features(突出), not the
rich and famous, but villagers from the mountains of Argentina.
The advertisement features a game of dominoes. It begins in a darkened room with several thousand dominoes(多米诺) set up on a specially-designed table. Then the falling dominoes head out of the room into the streets, causing progressively larger objects to fall. Dominoes knock over books, which in turn knock bigger objects such as suitcases, tyres, and even cars. The final piece in the chain reaction is a huge tower of books. ___72___
The place chosen for the commercial was Iruya, a village high up in the mountains in Argentina. ___73___ The journey could take up to ten hours. Asked why this remote destination for the shoot, the director said that even though it was the most difficult location they could have picked, it was perfect.
___74___ Twenty six truckloads of objects were brought in. They were all chosen to suit the town and fit in with the people’s way of life. They included 10,000 books, 400 tyres, 45 wardrobes and 6 cars. Setting the objects up took skill and patience. Some of the sequences(场景) had to be reshot 15 times, though the sequence in which six cars fell over was successfully shot in just one take.
Filming in this location was not without its difficulties. Firstly, being so remote, it was hard to obtain resources. The second problem was the high altitude. Iruya is situated 3000 metres
above sea level and the film crew was not used to working in such conditions. ___75___
Director Nicolai Fuglsig said: “Despite all the challenges, the cast was fantastic and it was a really amazing experience.〞 Whether or not the effort pays off is another matter entirely.
A. Creating this film was no easy task.
B. They drop off to show a glass of Guinness.
C. Preparations for filming took well over a month.
D. Not so with the famous Irish drink company Guinness.
E. They needed to be arranged so they would fall over easily.
F. It was also hard working with the villagers who had no experience of film-making.
G. The film crew had to drive along 48 kilometres of dirt roads and cross twelve rivers.
