What causes today’s continuing high unemployment remains a central economic question of our time. According to some economists, the computer revolution eliminates more jobs than it creates.
Technology has solved many social problems and has had profound effects on jobs, but changes have occurred over many years. To take one example, a new automated machine tool (33) _______ (call)

Section B
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome".
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as "distant parent phenomenon", which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome". 66. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly
caused by ______.
A. their earlier experience of feeling lonely
B. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries
C. the common worry about their income
D. the geographical distance between parents and children
67. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents
to _______.
A. live in the countries with more money
B. seek a better place for their aged parents
C. continue their studies abroad
D. realize their dreams in foreign countries 68. If young people go abroad, ______.
A. they do not hold to the value of duty at all
B. they can give some help to their parents back home
C. they cannot do what they should for their parents
D. they believe what they actually do is right
69. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.
A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
B. "Empty Nest Syndrome" has arrived unexpectedly in our society
C. children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
D. the aged parents are not fully prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"

(C)
Received cooperative wisdom maintains that we should all accept the stimulating power of “co-working” and “hive offices’, where we are elbow-to-elbow with our colleagues. Privacy, it is claimed, stifles （扼杀）creativity.
A study from the University of Sydney begs to differ. Researchers surveyed more than 40,000 office workers in 303 companies worldwide and found that the plus sides of an open-plan office --- ideas sharing and friendship, are far overtaken by the downsides --- disruption and noise pollution.
When the first open-plan office, the Larkin Administration Building in New York, opened in 1906, all conversation was banned and those in positions of power had separate spaces. Now that corner offices are seen as expensive, your desk neighbor is just as likely to be your boss as an intern. This means permanently being on your best behavior and feeling the pressure to make small talk every time your eyes meet over the mouse
pad.
In a survey of American workers by , “noisy colleagues”were cited as the No.1 workplace disruption, above phone calls and social media. A 2010 study from the University of California found that it takes the average worker 25 minutes to get back into the flow of a task after an interruption. This suggests that, if you’re interrupted 16 times during an eight-hour day, you may as well have stayed in bed.
Professor Cary Cooper, an expert on occupational stress form Lancaster University, suggests the help of symbolism. “Make it common knowledge that, if you fly a red flag above your desk, it means you are working on something detailed and need peace and quiet,” he says. “A white flag means that you are available.”
On internet forums（论坛）, dissatisfied desk colleagues exchange tips on how to make your workspace as uninviting as possible. These include: never having a sweet jar or new toys on your desk and, if you have a “guest”chair, piling it with papers so that interrupters have nowhere to sit. You can even set up fake calendar alerts to go off at intervals in case you need to make an escape.
The last aid is unpopularity; be rude, cold and unhelpful until colleagues are terrified to come near you. It may not even come to that. Who would really want to approach a flag-waving crazy guy in a ridiculous hat?74. The researchers from the University of Sydney will agree that
____________.
A. privacy will prevent creativity
B. an open-plan office has stimulating power
C. an open-plan office makes people less productive
D. an open-plan office is beneficial in terms of idea sharing
75. Which of the following descriptions about a modern open-plan office is NOT TRUE?
A. You are more likely to make small talks with colleagues.
B. You are supposed to behave yourself most of the time.
C. You will probably sit along aside your boss.
D. You will have more peace and quiet.
76. All the following are suggestions to reduce interruption in an office EXCEPT __________.
A. making workplace uninviting
B. making more private phone calls
C. turning to symbolism for help
D. making oneself unpopular among colleagues
77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. A Report Issued by the University of Sydney
B. Noisy Colleagues Cited as No. 1 Office Disruption
C. Open-Plan Office Stimulating Productivity
D. How to Survive in An Open-Plan Office
Section D
Directions:Read the following passage and then complete the statements and answer the questions on the answer sheet.
Since humans first domesticated cats and dogs, these furry friends have taken on increasingly important roles in people’s lives.
As wild animals, dogs and cats first entered human life in the role of hunting animals and guardians, then as companions and finally as family members. Now, a legal battle is under way that could make these animals legal citizens.
The first potential evidence of dog domestication dates back to 30,000 B.C. Before they were pets, dogs helped humans hunt, and cats helped guard grain supplier by keeping rats and mice away. But the Middle Ages were a grim period for cats and dogs. Considered agents of Satan, millions of black cats were killed throughout Europe in 1233. People regarded animals as soulless machines and did experiments on living dogs. It wasn’t until the late 1800s and early 1900s that dogs and cats’ condition improved. People brought cats and dogs indoors where they treated them as family members.
“As human relationships are becoming more virtual, it’s creating an emotional emptiness in our lives,” said Dav id Grimm, a science journalist. “Cats and dogs keep us anchored to the real world.”
Today, there are animal anti-cruelty laws in all 50 U.S. states, with penalties that include fines and prison time. Dogs and cats can even inherit money, but they’re still considered property.
Now, a growing effort seeks to grant personhood to animals, including cats and dogs. Driving this movement is an increasing awareness of animal intelligence and their emotional capabilities. In recent years, researchers have found that dogs can understand pointing---an ability that chimpanzees lack---and are capable of empathy and even abstract thinking.
Cats are much harder to study, because as any cat owner knows, it’s tough to get a cat to do what it’s told. However, cats are known t o be intelligent creatures, too.
Yet not everyone supports the push to treat animals as fellow citizens. Scientists worry that recognizing pets as legal persons could make it impossible to use animals in research. Farmers are also concerned that if dogs an d cats were considered ‘people’, cows and chickens could be next----a move that put an end to the livestock industry.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)
78. When cats and dogs first entered human life, what did they serve as?
_________________________________________________________________
_______.
79. For a period of time in history, black cats were killed in large
numbers due to the popular belief among people that
_________________________________________.
80. Dogs believed to be intelligent and have emotional capabilities
because of _______________________ and their capability of empathy and abstract thinking as well.
81. According to the article, who are against treating pets as legal citizens?
_________________________________________________________________ ___________.

China’s famed director Feng Xiaogang’s New Year blockbuster Personal Tailor has caused a great sensation as customization enables people to enjoy a better life. Not only can they have their clothes tailor-made, but also they can personalize their tours, thus having more freedom to choose everything from hotels to scenic spots.
Should I have an opportunity to individualize one thing, I would choose to individualize my school dormitory. First of all, I would paint the dorm walls light blue or green and hang posters of my favorite football team. Then a sofa would be placed in my dormitory instead of chairs, where I can lay back after a strenuous day. Most importantly, I want to choose my roommates by myself, either my good friends or those who share the same interests.
As we all know, school dormitories are usually furnished uniformly
and serve only as places to sleep. However, with customization we can transform dormitories into cozy homes where students can live and study better.。
