Each passage is followed by 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)The Hawthorne experiment was conducted in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The management of Western Electric's Hawthorne plant, located near Chicago, wanted to find out if environmental factors, such as lighting, could affect workers' productivity and morale. A team of social scientists experimented with a small group of employees who were set apart from their coworkers. The environmental conditions of this group's work area were controlled, and the subjects themselves were closelyobserved. To the great surprise of the researchers, the productivity of these workersincreased in response to any change in their environmental conditions. The rate ofwork increased even when the changes (such as a sharp decrease in the level of lightin the workplace) seemed unlikely to have such an effect.It was concluded that the presence of the observers had caused the workers inthe experimental group to feel special. As a result, the employees came to know andtrust one another, and they developed a strong belief in the importance of theirjob. The researchers believed that this, not the changes in the work environment,accounted for the increased productivity.A later reanalysis of the study data challenged the Hawthorne conclusions onthe grounds that the changes in patterns of human relations, considered so importantby the original researchers, were never measured. However, even if the originalconclusions must be revised, they nonetheless raise a problem for social scientists:Research subjects who know they are being studied can change their behavior.Throughout the social sciences, this phenomenon hascome to be called the Hawthorne effect.56. The author implies that a sharp decrease in light increased workers' outputbecause _______________.A. the workers experienced less eyestrain in a dark working placeB. the workers had to pay more attention to what they were doingC. the workers knew they were being observed, and this motivated themD. the workers in the experiment were paid more than other workers57.

The Hawthorne experiment suggests that___________A. workers' attitudes are more important than their environmentB. social scientists are good workersC. productivity in electric plants tends to be lowD. even those who were not in the experiment improved their productivity59. The author's main purpose is________________A. to explain the Hawthorne effectB. to prove the importance of researchC. to amuse with a surprising experimentD. to suggest ideas for future research(B)Join IMDb and Become a Founding Supporter of the Academy Museum of Museum of MotionPicturesThe Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences is b uilding the world’s leadingmovie museum in the heart of Los Angeles.

Technology, the application ofknowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation;it does not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physicalobject. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts,neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an objecton which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosionof the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drivehome the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-plannedsystems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right. Sincetechnology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it.Pessimists worry that we will use out technology eventually to blow our world andourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we havemanaged to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the yearsahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deservesa closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than thecomputer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machinesthat can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who assertthat the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other greathistorical milestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask whythe Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines.The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change.It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in whichwealth was not confined to the few.In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structureof American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilitiesin knowledge and communication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replacedthe muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.63. Why does the author give the examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl?A. To show that technology could be used to destroy our world.B. To stress the author's concern about the safety of complex technology.C. To prove that technology usually goes wrong, if not controlled by man.D. To demonstrate that being a human creation, technology is likely to make an error.64. What does the phrase "went haywire" in paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. were out of rangeB. went out of dateC. fell out of useD. got out of control65.According to the author, the introduction of the computer is a revolution mainly because___________.A.the computer has revolutionized the workings of the human mindB.the computer can do the tasks that could only be done by people beforeC.it has helped to switch to an information technologyD.it has a great potential impact on society66. In the passage, the author clearly shows his_____________.A. keen insight into the nature of technologyB. sharp criticism of the role of the Industrial RevolutionC. thorough analysis of the replacement of the human mind by computersD. comprehensive description of the negative consequences of technologySection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.How to Keep Your Digital Memorials Safe?Do you value your digital stuff? Nearly everyone is creating things with computers, and some do it without any concern for its value. Others recognize its current value, but think little about what it could mean to them in the future, and either aren't aware or don't think that all of it could be destroyed tomorrow. But hard drives die all the time, and the online services into which people sink their time close with alarming regularity, taking the work of millions of people with it._________67____________.Steps1.Prepare to make a quick backup.If nothing else, get a cheap USB stick anddrag-and-drop your documents folder onto it. Worry about the other thingslater. You should do more than this, but it's most important to take themost valuable, irreplaceable information from your hard drive and put it ona second medium to guard against hard drive failure, theft or loss.2.Decide what you value.Some questions to ask yourself are:How replaceableis this data? How good are you at assessing the value of items?_______68__________. For things like business accounts and documents, the answer is of course you would. This kind of thing should be your firstpriority.3.Start making backups. __________69__________ Diminishing returns (效益递减) apply in backups as they do with everything else. The cheapest and simplest backup methods take care of an overwhelming majority of likely loss-of-stuff.Over-complicating your backup strategy is the biggest trap: the more complicated and expensive you insist on making it, the less likely you are to do it.4.____________70______________If one of your backup drives fails, replace it immediately. Remember that all storage devices eventually become obsolete(旧的). If you have valuable files on obsolete media, those files become increasingly difficult to access with every passing year. So in order to keep your files accessible, remember to migrate your collection to new storage media periodically.IV Summary WritingDirection: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main file of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Airline seats have been one-size-fits-all since the beginning. Today, those 16.5to 18-inch wide seats are anything but.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity(肥胖症) has more than doubled since 1980. In 2014, more than l.9 billion adults were overweight, and over 600 million were obese.The unchanged seat size and increase of obese passengers highlight the conflict between airlines' needs and basic passenger rights.Last month, lawyer Giorgio Destro, an Italian lawyer, sued Emirates, claiming his flight was disturbed by an obese passenger seated next to him. According to reports, Destro was not able to comfortably sit in his assigned seat, and spent much of the nine-hour flight standing or sitting in crew seats, because a 400-pound passenger took up half of his seat.Many airlines have responded to the growing obesity by insisting passengers of size buy two seats to ensure safety and comfort. Samoa Air, for example, is charging by weight (which has become known as a "fat tax"). At first glance, the fat tax issue sounds discriminatory (歧视的, but some argue that this is purely down to numbers.A kilo is a kilo. It has nothing to do, with the condition of the weight.The heavier a plane is, the more fuel it burns through.In other words, the argument is whether it is fair that a 150-pound person is charged for their 50-pound bag, when a 300-pound person with a carry-on isn’t charged anything extra.However, Peggy Howell of NAAFA argues that obesity is an illness, and that obese people should be entitled to having certain rights protected.“We question the legality of the discriminatory policy and whether it violates the Air Carrier Access Act governing the treatment of passengers with disabilities,” she says. “The American Medical Association (AMA) recently declared obesity a disease, which should make fat passengers a protected class.”Howell points out that the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) addressed this is sue in 2009, and issued a ‘one-person, one-fare’ ruling covering passengers with disabilities. Those passengers include ones who are ‘clinically obese’ and who cannot fit into a single seat.V.TranslationDirection: Translate the following sentences into English ,using the words given in the brackets.72. 互联网经济在为中国的国外贸易提供新的机遇。
