The Need to RememberSome people say they have no memory at all："I just can' t remember a thing!" But of course we all have a memory．0ur memory tells us who we are．Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.In fact we have different types of memory．For example, our visual memory helps us recall facts and places. Some people have such a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen，for example, pages of a book，as a complete picture．Our verbal（言语的）memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula，dates，or a recipe．With our emotional（情感的）memory，we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness．We also have special memories for smell，taste，touch and sound，and for performing physical movements．We have two ways of storing any of these memories：Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial．Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime．Older people in fact have a much better-long-term memory than short-term．They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance（记忆）of when they were very young．Psychologists tell us that we only remember few facts about our past, and that we invent the rest．It is as though we remember only the outline of a story. We then make up the details. We often do this in the way we want to remember them, usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past-or maybe victims needing sympathy（同情）．16 Visual memory helps us recall a place we have been to．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 Visual memory may be used when we read a story．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Verbal memory helps us read words we have never heard．A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Emotional memory is used when we perform physical movements．27 The ancient Greeks believed that their could be cured by telling their dreams．28 Most scientists believe that dreams have something to do with in our daily life．29 If you dream of driving a large car，it could mean that you want ．30 When people are not allowed to dream during sleep，they become ．A powerB quiet and happyC eventsD experimentsE diseasesF worried and nervous第4部分：阅读理解（第31-45题，每题3分，共45分）下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。

The Paris metropolitan area contains nearly 20% of the nation’s population and is the economic, cultural, and political center of France. The French governments have historically favored the city as the site for all decision making, thus powerfully attracting nearly all of the nation’s activities.Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century. The migration was especially stimulated by the construction of railroads, which provided easy access to the capital. After World War II more and more immigrants arrived.The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most prestigious newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly been one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louver, opened as a museum in 1793, is one of the largest museums in the world.In the late 1980s about 4.1million pupils annually attended about 47,000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5.4 million students attended some 11,200 secondary schools. Approximately 1.2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumer goods have always bee drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population, and modern, high-technology industries also have become numerous since World War II. Chiefmanufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.23 Paragraph2_________.24Paragraph3_________.25 Paragraph4_________.26 Paragraph5_________.A History of the cityB Industries of the cityC Population grownD EducationE Cultural centerF Immigration27 Paris has in history been the center of___________.28 Since the 10th century, the population of Paris__________.29Many valuable works of art_________.30 Paris is not only the center of education of France , but also the center_____________.A can be found in ParisB the major events of the nationC of the country’s industriesD a lot of cinemas and theatersE has been growing steadilyF has been decreasing rapidly四、阅读理解(共3题，合计45分)In the mid 1940's, the young ambitious duo Ruth and Elliot Handler, owned a company that made wooden pictures frames. It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler joined with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever created. This company would be named Mattel, MATT for Mattson, and EL for Elliot.In the mid 1950's, while visiting Switzerland, Ruth Handler purchased a German Lilli doll. Lilli was a shapely, pretty fashion doll first made in 1955. She was originally fashioned after a famous cartoon character in the West German Newsletter, Build.Lilli is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handler to design the Barbie doll. With the help of her technicians and engineers at Mattel, Barbie was born. Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson, a fashion designer, to create Barbie's wardrobe. It was in 1958 that the patent for Barbie was obtained. This would be a fashion doll unlike any of her time. She would be long limbed, shapely, beautiful, and only 11.5 inches tall. Ruth and Elliot would name their new fashion doll after their own daughter, Barbie.In 1959, the Barbie doll would make her way to the New York Toy Show and receive a cool reception from the toy buyers.Barbie has undergone a lot of changes over the years and has managed to keep up with current trends in hairstyles, makeup and clothing. She is a reflection of the history of fashion since her introduction to the toy market.Barbie has a universal appeal and collectors both young and old enjoy time spent and memories made with their dolls.31 When Ruth and Elliot Handler was young, they had a strong desireA) to go to school.B) to take photos.C) to make frames.D) to be highly successful.32Who owned Mattel?A) Mattson.B) Elliot.C) Harold Mattson and Elliot Handler.D) Harold Mattson, Ruth and Ellion Handler.33 It can be inferred from the second paragraph that Lilli was fashioned afterA) Build.B) a German doll.C) a pretty girl.D) a shapely woman.34Where did Ruth Handler's inspiration for the design of the Barbie doll come from?A) Barbie.B) Lilli.C) Charlotte Johnson.D) A fashion designer.35Which of the following statements is NOT true of the Barbie doll?A) She does not attract young men.B) She has undergone many changes over the years.C) She is 11.5 inches tall.D) She has managed to keep up with fashion.Why Are America's Kids So StressedI'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happieror unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any ofthese statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, Iwas struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxiousthanchildren in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit ahigher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physicalisolation -- brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among otherthings -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. Nochild is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individualsagainst stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs andcomputers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-facerelationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties andprovide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have toruin your life.36The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are_______.A.surprisingB.confusingC.illogicalD.questionable37What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back"?A.It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.B.The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C.Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D.It's impossible to forget the past.38 According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago_______.A.were less isolated physicallyB.were probably less self-centeredC.probably suffered less from anxietyD.were considered less individualistic39 The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is_______.A.to provide them with a safer environmentB.to lower their, expectations for themC.to get them more involved sociallyD.to set a good model for them to follow40 What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A.Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.B.Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C.Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D.Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature. Clone FarmFactory farming could soon enter a new era of mass production. Companies in the US aredeveloping the technology needed to "clone" chickens on a massive scale. Once a chicken withdesirable traits has beenbred or genetically engineered tens of thousands of eggs, which willhatch into identical copies, could roll off the production lines every hour. Billions of clonescould be produced each year to supply chicken farms with birds that all grow at the same rate,have the same amount of meat and taste the same.This, at least, is the vision of the US's National Institute of Science and Technology,which has given Origen, Therapeutics of Burlingame, California, and Embrex of North CarolinaUSD 4. 7 million to help fund research. The prospect has alarmed animal welfare groups, whofear it could increase the suffering of farm birds.That's unlikely to put off the poultry industry, however, which wants disease-resistant birds that grow faster on less food. "Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reducedinputs to get there", says Mike Fitzgerald of Origen. To meet this demand, Origen aims to"create an animal that is effectively cloned", he says. Normal cloning doesn't work in birdsbecause eggs can't be removed and implanted. Instead, the company is trying to bulk-growembryonic stem cells taken from fertilized eggs as soon as they're laid. "The trick is to culturethe cells without them starting to distinguish, so they remain pluripotent", says Fitzgerald.Using a long-established technique, these donor ceils will then be injected into the embryoof a freshly laid, fertilized recipient egg, forming a chick that is a "chimera". Strictly speakinga chimera isn't a clone, because it contains cells from both donor and recipient. But Fitzgeraldsays it will be enough, say, 95 percent of a chicken's body develops from donor cells. "In thepoultry world, it doesn't matter if it's not 100 percent," he says.Another challenge for Origen is to scale up production. To do this, it has teamed up with"Embrex, which produces machines that can inject vaccines into up to 50, 000 eggs an hour.Embrex is now trying to modify the machines to locate the embryo and inject the cells intoprecisely the right spot without killing it.In future, Origen imagines freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken. If orderscome in for a particular strain, millions of eggs could be produced in months or even weeks. Atpresent, maintaining all the varieties the market might call for is too expensive for breeders, andit takes years to breed enough chickens to produce the billions of eggs that farmers need.41Which statement is the best description of the new era of factory farming according to the first paragraph?A.Eggs are all genetically engineered.B.Thousands of eggs are produced every hour,C.Cloned chickens are bulk-produced with the same growth rate, weight and taste.D.Identical eggs can be hatched on the production lines.42 Which institution has offered USD 4. 7 million to fund the research?A.The US's National Institute of Science and Technology.B.Origen Therapeutics of Burlingame, California.C.Embrex of North Carolina.D.Animal welfare groups.43 In the third paragraph, by saying " Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reduced inputs to get there" Mike Fitzgerald means that he wishesA.chickens' quality could be maintained but with less investmentB.chickens' taste could be improved but at less costsC.chickens' growth rate could be quickened but with less inputsD.chickens could grow to the same weight but with less feed44 Which of the following statements about Origen and Embrex is correct according to the fifth paragraph?A.Origen and Embrex will jointly invent machines to increase production.B.Origen wants to purchase an efficient donor cell-injecting machine.C.Origen has joined hands with Embrex in producing cell-injecting machines.D.Origen is the leading company in producing embryo-locating machines.45The technology of freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken can do all the following EXCEPT thatA.farmers can order certain strains of chicken onlyB.Origen can supply all the strains of chicken the market might needC.chicken farmers order certain strains of chicken for economic reasonsD.chicken farmers can be supplied with whatever they need五、补全短文(共1题，合计10分)MergersThe most common kind of consolidation today is the merger. A merger occurs ____(1)____.With the deregulation of natural gas, the nation’s 20 interstate pipeli ne companies became fearful of cutthroat competition. Some felt that they could increase their efficiency and improve their market flexibility by merging. In 1985 Internorth of Omaha paid $2.3 billion for Houston Natural Gas Corporation, ____(2)____. The system connected markets from coast to coast and raised sales to $10 billion.On occasion, mergers have occurred between smaller companies in an industry dominated by a few giant firms. These smaller companies claim that they need to merge to become more efficient and effective in competing against the biggest corporations. They maintain that such action increases competition instead of reducing it. The Antitrust Division of the Justice Department has not always agreed with them.Four major waves of mergers have taken place in this country. The first started in 1887, just prior to the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act, and ended in 1904. It involved such giants as United States Steel and Standard Oil trying to create monopolies in their industries. From the end of World War I until the 1930s, large firms swallowed smaller firms to create oligopolies. The monopoly had no chance and the oligopoly little chance of succeeding today under present antitrust policy.The third major merger movement began in the 1960s, reached a peak in 1969, ____(3)____. Many of the acquisitions involved giant firms in oneindustry buying up large companies in totally unrelated industries. Such mergers are called conglomerate mergers. A classic example is Mobil Oil Corporat ion’s purchase of the huge retail chain Montgomery Ward & Company.Mergers in the last ten years were in the thousands. More important is the value of the transactions, which has risen sharply. The number of mergers and acquisitions apply ____(4)____. The petroleum industry had mergers and acquisitions valued at closed to $80 billion between 1981 and 1984. Other industries ____(5)____ were banking and finance, insurance, mining and mineral, processed foods.A thereby gaining control of the world’s lon gest pipelineB and then gradually declinedC experiencing large takeoversD resulting in combinations of small firmsE only to those valued at $100 million or moreF when two or more companies get together to form one company4647484950六、完形填空(共1题，合计15分)An Absent-minded ProfessorProfessor Smith lived alone.

2014年职称英语真题及答案word版(理工类C级补全短文)
Do You Have a Sense of Humor？Humor and laughter are good for us.There is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically，mentally，emotionally，and spiritually.In fact，every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive，healing way.So how can we get more laughter into our lives？（46）Psychologist and author，Steve Wlison，has some answers.Many peoplebelieve that we are born with a sense of humor.They think，“either you've got it，or you don't”Dr.Wilson points out that this false.（47）The parts of brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth（48）（After all，when a baby laughs，we don't rush over and say，“That kid has a great sense of humor！”）A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.Sometimes people think that they don't have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers.Dr.Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to expresshumor.（49）Then we will make others laugh，too.A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life.One of the best definition of a sense of humor is“the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.”Consider this sign from a sore window.“Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replanced with merchandise of equal quality.”The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store's excellent service.（50）As Dr.Wilson says，“a good sense of humor means that you don't have to be funny；you just have to see what's funny.”A He advises us to lose our inhibitions（抑制）and try to laugh at ourselves.B Is it possible to develop a sense of humor？C However，that does not mean that infants have a sense of humor.D What is true，however，it that we are born with the capacityto laugh and smileE Everyone experiences this emotionF He had a serious purpose，but if you have a sense of humor，you will probably find the sign funny！答案：BDCAF。

Opportunities are only for the prepared person.共1篇文章Eat to LiveA meager diet may give you health and long life, but it's not much fun—and it might not even be necessary. We may be able to hang on to most of that youthful vigor even if we don't start to diet until old age.Stephen Spindler and his colleagues from the University of California at Riverside have found that some of an elderly mouse's liver genes can be made to behave as they did when the mouse was young simply by limiting its food for four weeks. The genetic rejuvenation won't reverse other damage caused by time for the mouse, but could help its liver metabolize drugs or get rid of toxins.Spindler's team fed three mice a normal diet for their whole lives, and fed another three on half-rations. Three more mice were switched from the normal diet to half-feed for a month when they were 34 months old—equivalent to about 70 human years.The researchers checked the activity of 11,000 genes from the mouse livers, and found that 46 changed with age in the normally fed mice. The changes were associated with things like inflammation and free radical production—probably bad news for mouse health. In the mice that had dieted all their lives, 27 of those 46 genes continued to behave like young genes. But the most surprising finding was that the mice that only started dieting in old age also benefited from 70 per cent of these gene changes.“This is the first indication that thee effects kick in pretty quickly,” says Huber Warner from the National Institute on Aging near Washington, D. C.No one yet knows if calorie restriction works in people as it does in mice, bus Spindler is hopeful. “There's attracting and tempting evidence out there that it will work,” he says.If it does work in people, there might be good reasons for rejuvenating the liver. As we get older, out bodies are less efficient at metabolizing drugs, for example. A brief period of time of dieting, says Spindler, could be enough to make sure a drug is effective.But Spindler isn't sure the trade-off is worth it. “The mice get less disease, they live longer but they're hungry,” he says. “Even seeing what a diet does, it's still hard to go to a restaurant and say: 'I can only eat half of that'.”Spindler hopes we soon won't need to diet at all. His company, Life Span Genetics in California, is looking for drugs that have the effects of calorie restriction.练习：1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Eating less than usual might make us live longer.B. If we go on a diet when old, we may keep healthy.C. Dieting might not be needed.D. We have to begin dieting from childhood.2. Why does the author mention an elderly mouse in paragraph 2?A. To describe the influence of old age on mice.B. To illustrate the effect of meager food on mice.C. To tell us how mice's liver genes behave.D. To inform us of the process of metabolizing drugs.3. What can be inferred about completely normally fed mice mentioned in the passage?A. They will not experience free radical production.B. They will experience more genetic rejuvenation in their lifetime.C. They have more old liver genes to behave like young genes.D. They are more likely to suffer from inflammation.4. According to the author, which of the following most interested the researchers?A. The mice that started dieting in old age.B. 27 of those 46 old genes that continued to behave like young genes.C. Calorie restriction that works in people.D. Dieting that makes sure a drug is effective.5. According to the last two paragraphs, Spindler believes thatA. calorie restriction is very important to young peopleB. seeing the effect of a diet, people will eat less than normal.C. dieting is not a good method to give us health and long life.D. drugs do not have the effects of calorie restriction.Eat to Live为生存而食本文中心：A meager不足的diet节食A meager不足的diet节食may give you health and long life, but it’s not much fun娱乐— and it might not even be necessary.We may be able to hang on to保持住most of that youthful vigor活力e ven if we don‟t start to diet until old age.粗茶淡饭或许能给你健康和长寿，但这并不有趣--很有可能也没必要。

例：Old And ActiveIt is well—known that life expectancy is longer in Japan than in most other countries. A recent report also shows that Japan has the longest health expectancy in the world．A healthy long life is the result of the improvement in social environment.Scientists are trying to work out exactly what keeps elderly Japanese people so healthy, and whether there is a lesson to be learnt from their lifestyles for the rest of us. Should we make any changes to our eating habits, for instance, or gojogging each day before breakfast? Is there some secret ingredient in the Japanese diet that is particularly beneficial to the human body?Another factor contributing to the rapid population aging in Japan is a decline in birthrate．Although longer life should be celebrated, it is actually considered a social problem．The number of older people had doubled in the last half century and that has increased pension and medical costs．The country could soon be facing an economic problem, if there are so many old people to be looked after and relatively few younger people working and paying taxes to support them．Raising the retirement age from 65 to 70 could be one solution to the problem. Work can give the elderly a sense of responsibility and mission in life. It’s important that the elderly play active roles in the society and live in harmony with all generations.2014年（理工）教材没有新增文章完形填空: 理工C级第一篇：Captain Cook Arrow Legend第二篇：Avalanche and Its Safety第三篇：Giant Structures（2013年已考）第四篇：Animal’s “Sixth Sense”第五篇：Singing Alarms Could Save the Blind完形填空: 理工B级*第六篇：Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely*第七篇：An Intelligent Car*第八篇：Why India Needs Its Dying Vultures（2013年已考）*第九篇：Wonder Webs*第十篇：Chicken Soup for the Soul：Comfort Food Fights Loneliness完形填空: 理工A级+第十一篇：Climate Change Poses Major Risks for Unprepared Cities+第十二篇：Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk+第十三篇：Better Solar Energy Systems: More Heat, More Light（2013年已考）+第十四篇：Sharks Perform a Service for Earth’s Waters+第十五篇："Liquefaction" Key to Much of Japanese Earthquake Damage结论：综合abc除去年考过的，全部是重点文章！！！想办法记住！！！打死也要记住！！！孙老师特别提示：全程班的同学如果今年万一没过，请在2014年10月31日前办理免费重读。

It draws on date that came from NASA’s top planet-hunting telescope.A mechanical failure recently put that Kepler space telescope out of service. Kepler had played a big role in creating a census of planets orbiting some 170，000 stars. Its data have been helping astronomers predict how common planets are in our galaxy. The telescope focused on hunting planets that might have conditions similar to those on Earth.The authors of a study，published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of sciences，conclude that between 14 and 30 out of every 100 stars，with a mass and temperature similar to the Sun，may host a planet that could support life as we know it. Such a planet would have a diameter at least as large as Earth‘s，but no more than twice that big . The planet also would have to orbit in a star’s habitable zone. That‘s where the surface temperature would allow any water to exist as a liquid.The new estimate of how many planets might fit these conditions comes from studying more than 42，000 stars and identifying suitable worlds orbiting them. The scientists used those numbers to extrapolate （推算）to the rest of the stars that the telescope could not see .The estimate is rough，the authors admit. If applied to the solar system，it would define as habitable a zone starting as close to the Sun as Venus and running to as far away as Mars. Neither planet is Earthlike （although either might have been in the distant past）。

回答31-36题Human Space ExplorationWhile scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving aheadwith plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles (航天飞机) on space station missions by 2012 and respond quickly to space station emergencies.The space agency released the first set of mission needs and requirements several days agofor orbital space plane ( 轨道航天飞机), which would be designed to transport a crew of fourto and from the International Space Station.Although it includes few specifics, the plan states the orbiter (轨道航天飞机) will besafer, cheaper and require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transportfour crew members by 2012 —— though it would be available for rescue missions by 2010. NASAsays the craft should be able to transport injured or ill space station crew members to "definitive(决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term prioritiesof space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia and its sevenmember crew on February 1, 2003.Expels at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working foryears on a successor to the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative (倡议),was divided last year into two parts -- one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on aspace station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.The program's managers say NASA officials have told them not to alter Space Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.U.S. President George W. Bush asked Congress for about US $1 billion for Space LaunchInitiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane andNext Generation Launch Technology.31、NASA plans to design the new space craft to_______.A.control the International Space StationB.carry astronauts to the International Space StationC.transport equipment to the International Space StationD.train astronauts in space flights32、 Besides its main mission, the orbiter would also be used as_______.A.a medical research centerB.a space stationC.a space ambulanceD.a passenger plane33、 The design of the orbiter indicates _______.A.NASA's determination to continue space explorationB.NASA's disadvantage in space technologyC.the great pressure from Congress on NASAD.a heavy defeat for NASA34、 When did NASA start working on a successor to the shuttle?A.One year before the Columbia disasterB.One year after the Columbia disaster.C.Immediately after the Columbia disaster.D.Years before the Columbia disaster.35、 According to the passage, the 1 billion funds, if granted, wouldA.be used to rebuild the International Space StationB.be awarded to the scientists working at NASAC.be shared by the two projects under the Space Launch InitiativeD.be spent on the investigation of the Columbia disaster回答36-41题Why Are America's Kids So StressedI'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happieror unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any ofthese statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, Iwas struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious thanchildren in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit ahigher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physicalisolation -- brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among otherthings -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. Nochild is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individualsagainst stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs andcomputers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-facerelationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties andprovide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have toruin your life.36、The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are_______.A.surprisingB.confusingC.illogicalD.questionable37、 What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back"?A.It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.B.The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C.Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D.It's impossible to forget the past.38、 According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago_______.A.were less isolated physicallyB.were probably less self-centeredC.probably suffered less from anxietyD.were considered less individualistic39、 The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is_______.A.to provide them with a safer environmentB.to lower their, expectations for themC.to get them more involved sociallyD.to set a good model for them to follow40、 What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A.Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.B.Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C.Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D.Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.回答41-46题Clone FarmFactory farming could soon enter a new era of mass production. Companies in the US aredeveloping the technology needed to "clone" chickens on a massive scale. Once a chicken withdesirable traits has been bred or genetically engineered tens of thousands of eggs, whichwillhatch into identical copies, could roll off the production lines every hour. Billions of clonescould be produced each year to supply chicken farms with birds that all grow at the same rate,have the same amount of meat and taste the same.This, at least, is the vision of the US's National Institute of Science and Technology,which has given Origen, Therapeutics of Burlingame, California, and Embrex of North CarolinaUSD 4.7 million to help fund research. The prospect has alarmed animal welfare groups, whofear it could increase the suffering of farm birds.That's unlikely to put off the poultry industry, however, which wants disease-resistant birds that grow faster on less food. "Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reducedinputs to get there", says Mike Fitzgerald of Origen. To meet this demand, Origen aims to"create an animal that is effectively cloned", he says. Normal cloning doesn't work in birdsbecause eggs can't be removed and implanted. Instead, the company is trying to bulk-growembryonic stem cells taken from fertilized eggs as soon as they're laid. "The trick is to culturethe cells without them starting to distinguish, so they remain pluripotent", says Fitzgerald.Using a long-established technique, these donor ceils will then be injected into the embryoof a freshly laid, fertilized recipient egg, forming a chick that is a "chimera". Strictly speakinga chimera isn't a clone, because it contains cells from both donor and recipient. But Fitzgeraldsays it will be enough, say, 95 percent of a chicken's body develops from donor cells. "In thepoultry world, it doesn't matter if it's not 100 percent," he says.Another challenge for Origen is to scale up production. To do this, it has teamed up with"Embrex, which produces machines that can inject vaccines into up to 50, 000 eggs an hour.Embrex is now trying to modify the machines to locate the embryo and inject the cells intoprecisely the right spot without killing it.In future, Origen imagines freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken. If orderscome in for a particular strain, millions of eggs could be produced in months or even weeks. Atpresent, maintaining all the varieties the market might call for is too expensive for breeders, andit takes years to breed enough chickens to produce the billions of eggs that farmers need.41、Which statement is the best description of the new era of factory farming according to the first paragraph?A.Eggs are all genetically engineered.B.Thousands of eggs are produced every hour,C.Cloned chickens are bulk-produced with the same growth rate, weight and taste.D.Identical eggs can be hatched on the production lines.42、Which institution has offered USD 4. 7 million to fund the research?A.The US's National Institute of Science and Technology.B.Origen Therapeutics of Burlingame, California.C.Embrex of North Carolina.D.Animal welfare groups.43、In the third paragraph, by saying " Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reduced inputs to get there" Mike Fitzgerald means that he wishesA.chickens' quality could be maintained but with less investmentB.chickens' taste could be improved but at less costsC.chickens' growth rate could be quickened but with less inputsD.chickens could grow to the same weight but with less feed44、Which of the following statements about Origen and Embrex is correct according to the fifth paragraph?A.Origen and Embrex will jointly invent machines to increase production.B.Origen wants to purchase an efficient donor cell-injecting machine.C.Origen has joined hands with Embrex in producing cell-injecting machines.D.Origen is the leading company in producing embryo-locating machines.45、The technology of freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken can do all the following EXCEPT thatA.farmers can order certain strains of chicken onlyB.Origen can supply all the strains of chicken the market might needC.chicken farmers order certain strains of chicken for economic reasonsD.chicken farmers can be supplied with whatever they need。

Shimi is essentially a docking station with a"brain"powered by an Android phone安卓手机.Once docked,the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the user's mobile device.In other words,if there's an"app"for that,Shimi is ready.For instance,by using the phone's camera and face-detecting software,Shimi can follow a listener around the room and position its"ears",or speakers,for optimal sound.Another recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo.If the user taps a beat,Shimi analyzes it,scans the phone's musical library and immediately plays the song that best matches the suggestions.Once the music starts,Shimi dances to the rhythm.Shimi实际上是一个扩充基座，它的"大脑"由安卓手机控制。
一旦连接上，机器人便从用户的移动装置获得传感和音乐生成能力。
换言之，只要有应用程序，机器人便能使用。
例如，通过手机的照相机和辨认脸型的软件，Shimi 就能在房间周围跟踪到听众，然后安置好它的"耳朵"或扬声器，以确保输送最佳声音。
另外一种识别特征是基于节奏和速度。
如果用户打出某个（音乐）拍子，Shimi会对此进行分析，然后浏览手机的音乐库，并立即演奏最符合要求的音乐。
一旦音乐响起来，Shimi就随韵律起舞。
"Many people think that robots are limited by their programming instructions,"said Music Technology Ph.D.candidate Mason Bretan."Shimi shows us that robots can be creative and interactive."Future apps in the works will allow the user to shake their head in disagreement or wave a hand in the air to alert Shimi to skip to the next song or increase/decrease the volume.The robot will also have the capability to recommend new music based on the user's song choices and provide feedback on the music play list."许多人认为机器人受到程序指令的限制，而Shiini给我们展示了机器人可以具有创造力和与人交互的能力。
"音乐技术博士研究生Mason Bretan 如是说。
正在研发中的程序将使用户能沟通过摇头或摆手表示不同意，来提醒Shimi跳到下一首歌或增减音量。
机器人还可根据用户对歌曲的选择推荐新音乐，并对音乐播放列表提供反馈。
Weinberg hopes other developers will be inspired to create more apps to expand Shimi's creative and interactive capabilities."I believe that our center is ahead of a revolution that will see more robots in homes."Weinberg said.Weinberg希望其他研发者会因此获得灵感，开发更多的应用程序，来扩展Shimi的创新和交互功能。
他说："我认为我们中心正在引领这场将更多机器人应用到家庭中去的变革。
"Weinberg is in the process of commercializing Shimi through an exclusive licensing agreement will Georgia Tech.Weinberg hopes to make the robot available to consumers by the2013holiday season."If robots are going to arrive in homes,we think that they will be this kind of machines-small, entertaining and fun,"Weinberg said."They will enhance your life and pave the way for more intelligent service robots in our lives.Weinberg正在通过获得佐治亚理工学院的独家授权来对Shimi进行商业推广。
Weinberg希望到2013年的节日季消费者可购买到Shimi。
Weinberg说："如果机器人进入家庭，我们认为就应该是这种类型的机器人：小巧、令人愉快和有趣，它们能提高我们的生活质量，为更多智能服务型机器人进人我们的生活做好准备。
