第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）American families are accustomed to settling in faraway places, which has been a national phenomenon. Decades of data, including a more recent Gallup study, characterizes the US as one of the most geographically mobile countries in the world. “About one in four US adults(24 percent) has reported moving within the country in the past five years.” the reported noted. With the exception of Finns(23 percent) and Norwegians(22 percent), Americans move considerably more than their European peers.
Though some may move for love or family, the major reason why Americans choose to move around is, unsurprisingly, related to work. Citing data from the Current Population Survey, a post on the blog of the New York Fed noted that between 1998 and 2013, “slightly more than half of interstate(州际的) migrants said they moved for employment-related reasons—a category that includes moves undertaken for new jobs, job transfers, and easier commutes(通勤).”
The seeking of opportunity, particularly for an immigrant nation, is a national mythology(神话) as well as an emotional attachment to work. A new working paper analyzed by Ben Steverman at Bloomberg suggests that workers in the US now “put in almost 25 percent more hours than Europeans” in a given year. This figure has steadily risen since the 1970s, when the hours logged by workers in Western Europe and the US were roughly the same.
There are, of course, some internal factors. The US is much vaster than most European countries, plus it boasts(拥有) a common language. It is considered to be a sign of an efficient labor market that US workers can be persuaded to move to regions
where there is a steady growth in jobs, such as the Sun Belt in recent years. And while American workers often have fewer labor protections than their European counterparts, as a report by the World Bank noted in 2012, American “labor laws give employers the power to fire, hire, or relocate(重新安置) workers according to their needs”，a flexibility that is thought to aid economic growth. The World Band report added that the occupation of the average US employee in 2006 was 4 years, compared to 10 years in the European Union.
Nevertheless, while Americans remain excessively mobile, FaithKarahan and Darious Li at the New Y ork Fed are the latest to note that US workers are moving around less than before. During the 1980s, 3 percent of working-age Americans relocated to a different state each year; that figure had been cut in half by 2010. “While part of the decline can be attributed to the Great Recession，” the authors suggest, “this__phenomenon took place over the course of several decades and is not necessarily related to the economic conditions.”
So what accounts for this phenomenon? A round-up of theories by Brad Plumer at The Washington Post included the aging of the US workforce, the further rise of
two-income households, the burdens of real estate, evolving workplace culture, as well as the flat line of wages, which makes moving away for a job, on average, a less rewarding financial proposition.
Karahan and Li put much stock in the effects of an aging workforce, to which they attribute at least half of the decline in interstate migration. “In short, a young individual today is moving less than a young person did in the 1980s because of the higher presence of older workers，” they write, suggesting that employers have shifted their employment tactics(策略) to adapt to the changing demographics(人口统计数据) of the workforce. Needless to say, movies about this era in American life, in which fewer people set out to start lives in wide-ranging places, will probably be much less exciting.
1、According to the passage, in the past five years, Americans have moved ________. A．relatively less than the British B．less frequently than Italians C．slightly more than Norwegians D．considerably more than Finns
2、What can we infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．Americans choose to move mainly for work and family.
B．Americans have a very strong interest in work.
C．Americans invested more time in work than Europeans in 1975.
D．Americans tended to move to Europe between 1998 and 2013.
3、Which of the following is NOT the reason why American workers move more than
their European peers?
A．There is a common language in the US.
B．The US is much vaster than most European countries.
C．American labor laws give employers more freedom to deal with them.
D．They are offered more efficient labor protections.
4、The underlined part “this phenomenon” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.
A．the Great Recession
B．the decline of working-age Americans' interstate migration
C．the reduction in the number of working-age Americans
D．Americans' tendency to remain mobile
5、How do American employers deal with the aging workforce according to the passage?
A．By sticking to their previous policies. B．By adjusting to it.
C．By improving their employees' job skills. D．By raising employment standard.
6、As to the current situation of Americans migration, the author might feel ________.
A．curious B．strange C．confused D．disappointed
（8分）Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals 22．
and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neuron（运动神经元）
disease to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intellig ence to
recognize eye movements in real time and change them into letters, words and
sentences.
For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neuron disease, eye
movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor problems
are expensive, not strong under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration(校对) and
abundant, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft
who developed the technology. “To change the situation…we created GazeSpeak, an
eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart
that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids(格) of letters, which each match a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
1、Which is necessary to install GazeSpeak for use according to the passage?
A．a smartphone with a camera.
B．a smartphone with re-calibration system.
C．a smartphone with a sticker on the back.
D．a smartphone connected with other setups.
2、Compared with the disadvantages current input system for ALS sufferers have, GazeSpeak will be_________.
A．low-cost, strong in system, easy to take with users
B．affordable, lightweight, environmentally friendly
C．easy to operate, movable, able to check itself
D．available under strong light, rich in resources, inexpensive
3、The most possible design of the grids will be________.
A．B．
C．D．
4、What’s the purpose of writing the passage?
A．To advertise a new app. B．To call for attention to ALS sufferers.
C．To share the information of an.app. D．To show respect to the programmer of the app.
23．（8分）The Queen has had to say goodbye to one of her longtime companions, her beloved pet corgi Holly, who has sadly passed away aged 13. The corgi will probably
be familiar to royal fans who would recognize her from the 2012 London Olympics opening video.
The dog was suffering from old age and was put down at Balmoral after suffering from an illness, leaving Her Majesty three surviving pet dogs, Willow and two
corgi-dachshund crosses, Vulcan and Candy.
According to a spokesperson for Buckingham palace, the Queen was deeply upset by Holly’s passing and she doesn’t like seeing her dogs suffer. Holly had attained a very good age. She gets more unsettled if they suffer and she knows that putting a dog down is often the kindest solution. She was devoted to Holly and wherever the Queen was, the dog was never far behind.
Holly was included in one of the portraits for the Queen’s 90th birthday, along with her other three pet dogs. Although the Queen usually has several pet corgis, it was recently revealed that she is keen not to breed（繁殖）any more of the dogs. Monty Roberts, a horse trainer who has previously given advice to Queen, told the Daily Mail, “She wouldn’t leave any young dogs behind if she died. She wanted to put an end to it. Her Majesty had previously named one of her dogs after her friend, but the dog died in 2012. Dogs love for less time than human beings and we know we’re going to lose them—but they are part of the Queen’s family. She’ll be quite upset.”
1、What does the author mean by “putting a dog down” in Paragraph 3?
A．Helping a dog to survive.
B．Letting a dog go.
C．Writing down the story of a dog.
D．Killing a dog without causing any pain.
2、We may learn from the text that ________.
A．the pet corgi Candy once appeared in London Olympics opening video.
B．the Queen felt upset for the passing away of her beloved pet dog.
C．the Queen has decided to reproduce another young pet corgi
D．there are altogether three dogs mentioned in the text.
3、The text is most probably taken from ________.
A．a newspaper B．a film review
C．a biography D．a documentar
24．（8分）In some islands north of Scotland, if head lice (头虱) left their host,
he became sick and feverish. Therefore, sick people had lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a method in their madness：As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patient improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and effect. If the lice leave the sick host, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet，and when the fever breaks，they return. Such false causality (假因果关系）misleads us every day.
Consider the headline: “Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XYZ Every Day Have Stronger Hair.” It says very little -- least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger. It might simply be the other way round: women with strong hair tend to use Shampoo XYZ -- and perhaps that’s because it says “especially for thick hair” on the bottle.
Another example: Scientists found that long periods in the hospital did harm to patients. But, clearly, patients who are dismissed immediately are healthier than those who must stay on for treatment.
Recently I read that students get better grades at school if their homes contain many books. This study was surely a shot in the arm for booksellers, but it was also false causality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend to value their children's education more than uneducated ones do, and they often have more books at home. In short, a dust-covered copy War and Peace alone isn't going to influence anyone's grades; what counts is parents' education levels, as well as their genes.
There was also the supposed relationship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork (鹳）pairs in Germany. Both were in decline, and if you plot (描绘）them on a graph (曲线图)，the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 appeared almost the same. Does this mean the storks actually bring babies? Obviously not. This was a purely accidental connection.
In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause turns out to be the effect, or just the other way round，and sometimes there is no link at all -- just like with storks and babies.
1、According to the first paragraph, people in some islands north of Scotland _________. A．found a way to get rid of head lice
B．used an effective method to keep flt
C．made head lice a part of their life
D．died due to infections with head lice
2、Which is an example of false causality?
A．Women with strong hair tend to use a certain shampoo.
B．The birth rate and the stork population are connected.
C．Longer periods in the hospital benefit patients.
D．Lice can make a person sick and feverish.
3、The underlined phrase “ a shot in the arm” in Paragraph 4 means _______. A．pain B．defeat
C．guidance D．encouragement
4、According to the author, students get better grades probably because ______. A．their homes are full of books
B．they have read War and Peace
C．their educated parents value education
D．their parents are successful booksellers
5、We can draw the conclusion from the passage that _______.
A．connection arc pure accidents
B．cause and effect are interdependent
C．connections are mostly cause and effect
D．linked events may turn out to be unrelated
