在过去的15年中，书籍页码平均增长了25%。
一项对位列《纽约时报》畅销书榜2500多本书籍的调查显示：书本的平均长度已由1999年的320页增加到2014年的400页。
调查者詹姆斯. 芬利森认为“书本的厚度呈相对稳定的逐年增长之势。
”对于芬利森而言，这个变化主要是由于产业数字化所造成的。
“当你在书店拿一本厚重的书时，有时候你可能会被吓到。
但是如果你是在Kindle(电子书)上读篇幅很长的书的话，这就没什么问题了。
”Nowadays, with the rapid development of computer technology, in particular, the artificial intelligence (AI), the application of senior AI in the future has aroused a considerable world-wide concern. It isrecently reported that in a ground-breaking fight between man and AI the world champion of game Go was mercilessly defeated by Deep Mind Alpha Go, a product from Google, which gives rise to some people’s fear toward advanced AI in future practice. And they take it for granted that human being would probably be totally controlled by machine.As far as AI is concerned, I am fully convinced that we are supposed to maintain an objective and positive attitude toward the emerging issue of artificial intelligence. It is known to all that AI is nothing but the simulation of information on the process of conscious thinking, or in another words, it’s something that subjects to its inventor’s design awareness. Consequently, as long as we are fully conscious of its possible disadvantages, certain restrictions can be input into the program to avoid potential disastrous occurrences. Additionally, it is well hoped that AI and intelligent machines can possibly free human labors from virtually all kinds of jobs.In that case/Above-mentioned discussion can safely lead to the conclusion that what we are supposed to do is but to learn to get along with the inevitable development of computer technology and to adapt to the updated social structure changed by AI.附录：2016同等力申硕考试复习方法一：合理利用时间合理利用时间很重要，能报考同等学力申硕的人都是经过院校课程班学习的人，对于基础知识的掌握应该很扎实，所以只要能在考前合理利用时间就基本能通过考试。

Choose the best answer and m ark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhat did you study at university If it was something along the lines of law or bu siness, you might want to look away now. That's because according to new research, which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, you're probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest.Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who wer e involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between t he “Big Five” major personality traits and the subjects they were enrolled on.For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine ten ded to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects, the study found. Bu t when it came to “agreeableness” -- the tendency towards being helpful, generous a nd considerate -- the lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students.Arts and humanities students, as well as those studying psychology and politics scored highly for openness, meaning they were curious, imaginative and in touch wit h their inner feelings, while economists, engineers, lawyers and scientists scored co mparatively low. However, the arts and humanities students also tended to be less c onscientious and more nervous, typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodiness. Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these trait s.Study author Anna Vedel, from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, said she w as surprised by the magnitu de of the results. “The effect sizes show that the differen ces found are not trivial, far from,” she said. “On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the with drawn natural scientist, t he cynical economist.”And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as well as helping academics to plan their lectur es. “I’m not arguing that these results should play a major role in either guidance or s election, but it might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt about s tudy choices and want to make a choice based on more than abilities, for example,” said Dr Vedel. “Or teachers might better understand their student population.”21.The first paragraph implies that law or business students may _______.A.be amused by the researchB.be interested in the researchC.dislike the researchD.enjoy the research22.According to the research, law students scored particularly low in the trait of _______.A. generosityB. opennessC. anxietyD. selfishness23. The word “conscientious” (Para. 4) probably means “________”.A. moodyB. sensitiveC. curiousD. careful24.Anna Vedel stated that the research _______.A. confirmed the link between personality and professionB.showed that the differences were far from significantC.was not reliable because of its prejudicial observationD.did not have enough samples to support its findings25.According to Anna Vedel, the research may help ______.A.students make wise choices in finding jobsB.teachers understand their students betterC.students make presentations more academicallyD.school pupils go to better universitiesPassage TwoAlphaGo’s victory over Go( 围棋 )champion Lee Se-dol reportedly shocked artifi cial intelligence experts, who thought such an event was 10 to 15 years away. But if t he timing was a surprise, the outcome was not. On the contrary, it was inevitable an d entirely foreseeable.Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely well. Just as t hey beat the world champions at checkers(跳棋)and then chess, they were destinedto beat the champion at Go. Yet I don’t believe, as some do, that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most of us with nothing to do. Advancing technology will profoundly change th e nature of high-value human skills and that is threatening, but we aren’t doomed.The skills of deep human interaction, the abilities to manage the exchanges that occur only between people, will only become more valuable. Three of these skills sta nd out: The first, the foundation of the rest, is empathy, which is more than just feeli ng someone else’s pain. It’s the ability to perceive what another person is thinking or feeling, and to respond in an appropriate way.The second is creative problem-solving in groups. Research on group effectiven ess shows that the key isn’t team cohesion or motivation or even the smartest mem ber’s IQ; rather, it’s the social sensitivity of the members, their ability to read one an other and keep anyone from dominating.The third critical ability, somewhat surprisingly, is storytelling, which has not tra ditionally been valued by organizations. Charts, graphs and data analysis will continu e to be important, but that’s exactly what technology does so well. To change peopl e’s minds or inspire them to act, tell them a story.These skills, though basic to our humanity, are fundamentally different from the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for most of human history, logic, knowledge and analysis, which we learned from textbooks and in classrooms. By contrast, the skills of deep human interaction address the often irrational reality of how human beings behave, and we find them not in textbooks but inside ourselves. As co mputers master ever more complexity, that’s where we’ll find the source of our cont inued value.26. According to the author, AlphaGo’s victory_____.A.could have happened earlierB.came as a pleasant surpriseC.was an expected resultD.was more a matter of luck27.The word “presage”(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to“ _____”.A. surviveB. sufferC. inventD. predict28.What is the author’s at titude towards the human future in the face of techn ology?A.UnclearB. ConfusedC. WorriedD. Optimistic29.Which of the following is the most fundamental to human interaction?A. Social sensitivity of group members to understand each other.B.Strong ability to share people’s feelings and respond.C.Team spirit to make sure that everyone is involved.D.Inspirational storytelling to motivate people to act.30.According to the author, the skills of deep human interaction .A.are the source of true human values in the futureB.can work with knowledge to make the world betterC.are similar to the skills of human logic and analysisD.can be learned from textbooks and in classroomsPassage ThreeLast year, I went WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) at a beautiful organic farm in La Réunion. With WWOOFing, volunteers exchange their time and w ork for food and accommodation. I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs(刺猬) digging about in the bushes, all different coloured birds singing in the morning an d endless rows of palm trees offering shade from the sun.For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the lan d, live with the locals and share meals together. This is why I absolutely love WWOO Fing. It has got to be one of the best ways to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchan ge where everyone involved prioritises people and environment above profit. You ge t the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things, de pending on the environment, climate and soil. At the farm in La Réunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads. Before stayi ng with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in co mparison to the real thing, fresh from the ground. When potting up the very beginni ngs of the palm trees, I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the trees' cycle. I was f illed with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong.We also did lots of weeding, which helped me to get to know all kinds of differe nt plants, to be able to identify which ones we could use as herbs/medicine/in salads and which were seen as uneatable. I also got to harvest pineapples and guava fruit (番石榴) to make jams which will be sold at the local market.Of course, not everyone is able to travel far away into the field. The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing is tha t it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. The focus shifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communities.A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.31.WWOOFing enables volunteers to ________.A.get food and shelter for their workB.travel around La Réunion for freeC.tell the differences between various birdsD.have close contact with wild animals32.The author found his farm life in La Réunion quite ______A. awfulB. rewardingC. comfortableD. difficult33.The author did all of the following on the organic farm EXCEPT _______.A.removing weedsB.planting palm treesC.harvesting fruitsD.collecting vegetables34.The philosophy of WWOOFing is to _______A.improve local environmentB.make locals live betterC.unite different communitiesD.advocate a fair exchange35.This passage is mainly about _____A. the development of WWOOFingB.a local WWOOFing communityC.a charming WWOOFing experienceD.the system of WWOOFingPassage FourExperts say distracted walking is a growing problem, as people of all ages beco me more dependent on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. Th ey also note pedestrian deaths have been rising in recent years. In 2005, 11% of all U S deaths involved pedestrians, but that number rose to 15% in 2014.The rise in deaths coincides with states introducing bills that target pedestrians. Some states, such as Hawaii, Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada and New York, continue to in troduce legislation every year.The measure recently introduced by New Jersey assembly woman Pamela Lamp itt would ban walking while texting and prohibit pedestrians on public roads from usi ng electronic communication devices unless they are hands-free. Violators would fac e fines of up to $50, 15-day imprisonment or both, which is the same penalty as jayw alking(乱穿马路). Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the d angers of walking while texting, said Lampit.Some see the proposal as an unnecessary government overreach, while others s ay they understand Lampitt's reasoning. But most agree that people need to be made aware of the issue. "Distracted pedestrians, like distracted drivers, present a poten tial danger to themselves and drivers on the road," Lampitt said. "An individual crossi ng the road distracted by their smartphone presents just as much danger to motorist s as someone jaywalking and should be held, at minimum, to the same penalty."The main question raised about the measure, though, is whether it can be enfor ced consistently by police officers who usually have more pressing matters to deal wi th. Some feel that rather than imposing a new law, the state should focus on distract ed-walking education. Lampitt said the measure is needed to stop and penalize "risk y behavior." She cited a National Safety Council report that showed distracted-walking incidents involving cellphones accounted for an estimated 11,101 injuries from 2000 through 2011.The study found a majority of those injured were female and most were 40 or y ounger. Talking on the phone was the most prevalent activity at the time of injury, w hile texting accounted for 12%. Nearly 80% of the injuries occurred as the result of a fall, while 9% occurred from the pedestrian striking a motionless object.36.This passage is mainly concerned with _____A.the difficulty in enforcing road regulationsB.rising deaths caused by distracted walkingC.the dangers of jaywalking on busy streetsD.distracted walking involving smartphones37.The states introducing bills that target pedestrians ________.A.have benefited from the billsB.find it hard to carry them outC.have been promoting the legislationD.will have fewer deaths of pedestrians38.According to the measure proposed by Lampitt, walking while texting would ______.A.become illegalB.involve safety educationC.be blamed publiclyD.incur a fine of over $50mpitt reasons that distracted pedestrians are as dangerous as ________.A.motoristsB.speeding driversC.jaywalkersD.drunk drivers40.Which of the following would the author of the passage most probably agree with?A. Males are more vulnerable to distracted-walking injures.B.Police officers are unhappy with the proposed law.C.Safety education is more important than penalty.D.Rising distracted-walking incidents call for real attention.Section BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the co mments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished state ments, each with four suggested answer A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.The saying “Clothes Make the Man” dates back some 400 years and it refers to t he fact that when people see a well-dressed person, they assume that person is a pr ofessional, capable, and (especially in the old days) rich. Therefore, you had to dress l ike how you wanted to be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast fo rward 400 years, lots of folks still think the same way. But does it really make a differ ence?I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying. I suppose I m ight be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering reality. Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influe ntial Absolutely! Is it all that it seems Less often than you think. How many times hav e you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you misse d out on a great opportunity, person or ideaComment 1In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being the most success ful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wor e jeans on the public stage. I did not know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he invented the concept of “business casual.” In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.Comment 2You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care about how he was percei ved and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clear ly foremost in his mind.Comment 3It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner p arty in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes, he looked aro und and said he hadn’t noticed.41.Which of the following might the writer of the passage agree with?A. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.B.We should not judge a person by his clothing.C.It is clothes that make the man.D.The well-dressed are most likely to succeed.42.According to the writer of the passage, perception ______.A.might prove wrongB.is powerful and reliableC.is half realityD.might be worthless to us43.The writer of Comment 1 seems to ______.A.dislike the way Steve Jobs dressed for business occasionsB.suggest that business people have no taste in clothingC.believe that the well-dressed are the most successfulD. think that St eve Jobs’ casualness reflected his self-confidence44.Speaking of Steve Jobs, the writer of Comment 2 ________.A.points out that Steve Jobs was a very aggressive personB.suggests that he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same clubC.holds the same view as the writer of the passageD.thinks Steve Jobs’ casualness was carefully thought out45.When he went to the dinner party in jeans (Comment 3), the philosopher __ _____A.thought that people liked his clothesB.was not aware of how his clothes lookedC.felt quite embarrassedD.considered himself out of placePart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks. For each blank there are four choicesmarked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your an swer on the Answer Sheet.The history of transportation is very long and full of changes and inventions.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneWhat did you study at university? If it was something along the lines of law or business, you might want to look away now. That's because according to new research, which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, you're probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest. Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between the “Big Five” major personality traits and the subjects they were enrolled on. For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects, the study found. But when it came to “agreeableness” -- the tendency towards being helpful, generous and considerate -- the lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students. Arts andhumanities students, as well as those studying psychology and politics scored highly for openness, meaning they were curious, imaginative and in touch with their inner feelings, while economists, engineers, lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low. However, the arts and humanities students also tended to be less conscientious and more nervous, typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodiness. Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these traits. Study author Anna Vedel, from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, said she was surprised by the magnitude of the results. “The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial, far from,” she said. “On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist.” And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as well as helping academics to plan their lectures. “I’m not arguing that these results should play a major role in either guidance or selection, but it might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt about study choices and want to make a choice based on more than abilities, for example,” said Dr Vedel. “Or teachers might better understand their student population.”21.The first paragraph implies that law or business students may _______.A.be amused by the researchB.be interested in the researchC.dislike the researchD.enjoy the research22.According to the research, law students scored particularly low in the trait of_______. A. generosityB. opennessC. anxiety D. selfishness23. The word “conscientious” (Para. 4) probably means “________”.A. moodyB. sensitiveC. curiousD. careful24. Anna Vedel stated that the research _______.A. confirmed the link between personality and professionB. showed that the differences were far from significantC. was not reliable because of its prejudicial observationD. did not have enough samples to support its findings25. According to Anna Vedel, the research may help ______.A. students make wise choices in finding jobsB. teachers understand their students betterC. students make presentations more academicallyD. school pupils go to better universitiesPassage TwoAlphaGo’s victory over Go( 围棋)champion Lee Se-dol reportedly shocked artificial intelligence experts, who thought such an event was 10 to 15 years away. But if the timing was a surprise, the outcome was not. On the contrary, it was inevitable and entirely foreseeable. Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely well. Just as they beat the world champions at checkers(跳棋)and then chess, they were destined to beat the champion at Go. Yet I don’t believe, as some do, that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most ofus with nothing to do. Advancing technology will profoundly change the nature of high-value human skills and that is threatening, but we aren’t doomed. The skills of deep human interaction, the abilities to manage the exchanges that occur only between people, will only become more valuable. Three of these skills stand out: The first, the foundation of the rest, is empathy, which is more than just feeling someone else’s pain. It’s the ability to perceive what another person is thinking or feeling, and to respond in an appropriate way. The second is creative problem-solving in groups. Research on group effectiveness shows that the key isn’t team cohesion or motivation or even the smartest member’s IQ; rather, it’s the social sensitivity of the members, their ability to read one another and keep anyone from dominating. The third critical ability, somewhat surprisingly, is storytelling, which has not traditionally been valued by organizations. Charts, graphs and data analysis will continue to be important, but that’s exactly what technology does so well. To change people’s minds or inspire them to act, tell them a story. These skills, though basic to our humanity, are fundamentally different from the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for most of human history, logic, knowledge and analysis, which we learned from textbooks and in classrooms. By contrast, the skills of deep human interaction address the often irrational reality of how human beings behave, and we find them not in textbooks but inside ourselves. As computers master ever more co mplexity, that’s where we’ll find the source of our continued value.26. According to the author, AlphaGo’s victory_____.A. could have happened earlierB. came as a pleasant surpriseC. was an expected resultD. was more a matter of luck27. The word “presage”(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to“ _____”.A. surviveB. sufferC. inventD. predict28. What is the author’s attitude towards the human future in the face of technology?A. UnclearB. ConfusedC. WorriedD. Optimistic29. Which of the following is the most fundamental to human interaction?A. Social sensitivity of group members to understand each other.B. Strong ability to share people’s feelings and respond.C. Team spirit to make sure that everyone is involved.D. Inspirational storytelling to motivate people to act.30. According to the author, the skills of deep human interaction .A. are the source of true human values in the futureB. can work with knowledge to make the world betterC. are similar to the skills of human logic and analysisD. can be learned from textbooks and in classroomsPassage ThreeLast year, I went WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) at abeautiful organic farm in La Réunion. With WWOOFing, volunteers exchange their time and work for food and accommodation. I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs(刺猬) digging about in the bushes, all different coloured birds singing in the morning and endless rows of palm trees offering shade from the sun. For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the land, live with the locals and share meals together. This is why I absolutely love WWOOFing. It has got to be one of the best ways to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritises people and environment above profit. You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature. There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things, depending on the environment, climate and soil. At the farm in La Réu nion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads. Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing, fresh from the ground. When potting up the very beginnings of the palm trees, I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the trees' cycle. I was filled with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong. We also did lots of weeding, which helped me to get to know all kinds of different plants, to be able to identify which ones we could use as herbs/medicine/in salads and which were seen as uneatable. I also got to harvest pineapples and guava fruit(番石榴) to make jams which will be sold at the local market. Of course, not everyone is able to travel far away into the field.The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing is that it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. The focus shifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communities. A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.31. WWOOFing enables volunteers to ________.A. get food and shelter for their workB.travel around La Réunion for freeC. tell the differences between various birdsD. have close contact with wild animals32. The author found his farm life in La Réunio n quite ______A. awfulB. rewardingC. comfortableD. difficult33. The author did all of the following on the organic farm EXCEPT _______.A. removing weedsB. planting palm treesC. harvesting fruitsD. collecting vegetables34. The philosophy of WWOOFing is to _______A. improve local environmentB. make locals live betterC. unite different communitiesD. advocate a fair exchange35. This passage is mainly about _____A. the development of WWOOFingB. a local WWOOFing communityC. a charming WWOOFing experienceD. the system of WWOOFingPassage FourExperts say distracted walking is a growing problem, as people of all ages become more dependent on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. They also note pedestrian deaths have been rising in recent years. In 2005, 11% of all US deaths involved pedestrians, but that number rose to 15% in 2014. The rise in deaths coincides with states introducing bills that target pedestrians. Some states, such as Hawaii, Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada and New York, continue to introduce legislation every year. The measure recently introduced by New Jersey assembly woman Pamela Lampitt would ban walking while texting and prohibit pedestrians on public roads from using electronic communication devices unless they are hands-free. Violators would face fines of up to $50, 15-day imprisonment or both, which is the same penalty as jaywalking(乱穿马路). Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the dangers of walking while texting, said Lampit. Some see the proposal as an unnecessary government overreach, while others say they understand Lampitt's reasoning. But most agree that people need to be made aware of the issue. "Distracted pedestrians, like distracted drivers, present a potential danger to themselves and drivers on the road," Lampitt said. "An individual crossing the road distracted by their smartphone presents just as much danger to motorists as someone jaywalking and should be held, at minimum, to the same penalty." The main question raised about the measure, though, is whether it can be enforced consistently by police officers whousually have more pressing matters to deal with. Some feel that rather than imposing a new law, the state should focus on distracted-walking education. Lampitt said the measure is needed to stop and penalize "risky behavior." She cited a National Safety Council report that showed distracted-walking incidents involving cellphones accounted for an estimated 11,101 injuries from 2000 through 2011. The study found a majority of those injured were female and most were 40 or younger. Talking on the phone was the most prevalent activity at the time of injury, while texting accounted for 12%. Nearly 80% of the injuries occurred as the result of a fall, while 9% occurred from the pedestrian striking a motionless object.36.This passage is mainly concerned with _____A. the difficulty in enforcing road regulationsB. rising deaths caused by distracted walkingC. the dangers of jaywalking on busy streetsD. distracted walking involving smart phones37. The states introducing bills that target pedestrians ________.A. have benefited from the billsB. find it hard to carry them outC. have been promoting the legislationD. will have fewer deaths of pedestrians38. According to the measure proposed by Lampitt, walking while texting would ______.A. become illegalB. involve safety educationC. be blamed publiclyD. incur a fine of over $5039. Lampitt reasons that distracted pedestrians are as dangerous as ________.A. motoristsB. speeding driversC. jaywalkersD. drunk drivers40. Which of the following would the author of the passage most probably agree with?A. Males are more vulnerable to distracted-walking injures.B. Police officers are unhappy with the proposed law.C. Safety education is more important than penalty.D. Rising distracted-walking incidents call for real attention.Section B Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answer A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.The saying “Clothes Make the Man” dates back some 400 years and it refers to the fact that when people see a well-dressed person, they assume that person is a professional, capable, and (especially in the old days) rich. Therefore, you had to dress like how you wanted to be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast forward 400 years, lots of folks still think the same way. But does it really make a difference? I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying. I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp. Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering reality.Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influential? Absolutely! Is it all that it seems? Less often than you think. How many times have you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you missed out on a great opportunity, person or idea? Comment 1 In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being the most successful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage. I did not know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he invented the concept of “business casual.” In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing. Comment 2 You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care about how he was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind. Comment 3 It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner party in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes, he looked around and said he hadn’t noticed.41.Which of the following might the writer of the passage agree with?A. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.B. We should not judge a person by his clothing.C. It is clothes that make the man.D. The well-dressed are most likely to succeed.42. According to the writer of the passage, perception ______.A. might prove wrongB. is powerful and reliableC. is half realityD. might be worthless to us43. The writer of Comment 1 seems to ______.A. dislike the way Steve Jobs dressed for business occasionsB. suggest that business people have no taste in clothingC. believe that the well-dressed are the most successfulD. think that Steve Jobs’ casualness reflected his self-confidence44. Speaking of Steve Jobs, the writer of Comment 2 ________.A. points out that Steve Jobs was a very aggressive personB. suggests that he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same clubC. holds the same view as the writer of the passageD. thinks Steve Jobs’ casualness was carefully thought out45.When he went to the dinner party in jeans (Comment 3), the philosopher _______A. thought that people liked his clothesB. was not aware of how his clothes lookedC. felt quite embarrassedD. considered himself out of placePart IV Cloze (10 points) Directions:In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Passage 1Scientists are learning more about the effects of stress on our bodies. Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.Stressful experiences---such as mental illness in a family, unemployment, poverty, or abuse---continue to affect our health and well-being far longer than the actual event. This is becoming a major concern for public health professionals.Researchers at the University of California discovered that childhood stress could permanently affect a person’s DNA. They found that kids who went through traumatic (创伤性的) experiences at a young age had shorter telomeres（端粒）than tho se who hadn’t. Telomeres are the protective tips at the end of our DNA, and shorter telomeres are linked to a variety of health problems. The researchers concluded that early childhood trauma has a lasting impact on our overall health.In another study, scientists in Sweden measured the stress levels of 17,000 adults, and then tracked them for 11 years. The results showed that the most stressed-out participants had a 45% higher risk of developing heart disease. The study also revealed that those with stressful jobs were more likely to take sick leave due to heart problems.Furthermore, researchers in New Zealand found that children who suffered ongoing stress before the age of 15 had a higher chance of developing asthma later in life. This finding suggests that reducing stress in early childhood could have long-term health benefits.Overall, these studies emphasize the need for stress reduction strategies and interventions, particularly in high-risk populations. Whether through therapy, meditation(冥想), or lifestyle changes, it is essential that we find healthy ways to manage and cope with stress to protect our long-term health.1. According to the passage, long-term stress may lead to _______.A. mental illnessB. shorter telomeresC. unemploymentD. poverty答案：B解析：根据第一段中的“Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.”可知，长期的压力可能会增加肥胖、心脏病甚至哮喘的风险，选项B中的“shorter telomeres”（更短的端粒）对应文章中提到的短端粒与健康问题有关。

同等学力申硕英语考试试题与答案（2）
同等学力申硕英语考试试题与答案（2）2016同等学力申硕英语考试试题与答案练习题二Want a glimpse of the future of health care?Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another，and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient-no matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly，however，remote diagnosis(telemedicine)will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf(现成的)PDA(personal data assistance)such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone，it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit(急救包)，the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall，the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world—CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes，wars or famines.

Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and conside r other “friends” to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to “compartmentalize” (划分) friendships, having “friends at work”, “friends on the softball team”, “family friends”, etc.Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change. people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere. Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼的) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on,they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American” in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesn’t matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence.On the other hand, don’t expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.46. The general topic of the passage is ______.A. American societyB. American cultureC. Am ericans’ personalityD. Americans’ activities47. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to thepassage?A. Friendships among Americans tend to be casual.B. Americans do not like to depend on other people.C. Americans always seem to be on the go.D. Americans know a lot about international affairs.48. The phrase “highly charged” (para.2) most probably means______.A. highly responsibleB. extremely freeC. full of mobility and changeD. very cheerful49. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Americans’ character is affected by their social andgeographical environmentB. Americans want to participate in all kinds of activitiesC. curiosity is characteristic of AmericansD. Americans do not know how to deal with silence50. According to the passage, Americans tend to ignore the rest of theworld because ______.A. they are too proud of themselvesB. they are not interested in other countriesC. they are too busy to learn about other countriesD. their country does not have many neighboring nationsKey: C, C, D, C, APassage 2Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he orshe may be.Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf (现成的) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vi tal signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit (急救包) the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool For disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world—CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price ofbroadband communications, the new technologies should usher in (迎来) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.51. The basis of remote diagnosis will be ______.A. personal data assistanceB. standardized symptoms of a patientC. real physiological data from a patientD. transmitted complex medical images52. The sentence “the cry asking whether there was a doctor in thehouse could well be a thing of the past” means ______.A. patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the houseB. now people probably would not ask if there is a doctor in thehouseC. patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the houseD. in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor inthe house53. All the following statements are true EXCEPT that ______.A. flood is not among the disasters mentioned in the passageB. it is now feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs overtelephoneC. telemedicine is being used by many medical teams as a tool fordisaster responseD. the trend in applying telemedicine is toward providing globalaccess to medical data54. The word “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the factthat ______.A. CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumersB. there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medicalintelligenceC. communications satellites can only cope with the short-termneeds during disastersD. bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical imagesaround the world55.A proper title for the passage may be ______.A. The Online Doctor Is InB. Improvement in CommunicationsC. How to Make Remote DiagnosisD. Application of TelemedicinePassage 3Pictures in the British papers this week of Prince William, Prince Charles’s 18-year-old son, cleaning toilets overseas, have led to a surge of altruism (利他主义). Raleigh International, the charity that organized his trip, has seen inquiries about voluntary work abroad rise by 30%. But the image of idealistic youth that William presents no longer reflects the reality of the volunteer force. It’s getting older and older.Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) has about 2,000 volunteers inthe field around the world. After a dip in interest in the mid-1990s, applications to work abroad are at record levels. Last year 7,645 people submitted applications, and 920 successfully negotiated the VSO selection process and were sent abroad. When the organization was founded in 1959, the average volunteer was in his early 20s. Now, the average age is 35, and set to rise further.Partly, that is because there are more older people who want to do VSO. More people take early retirement; more, says the chief executive of VSO, “still feel that they have more to give and are in good health”. And the demands of the African and Asian countries where most of the volunteers go are changing, too. Their educational standards have risen over the past couple of decades, so they want people with more qualifications, skills and experience.BESO (British Executive Service Overseas) recruits executives and businessmen with at least 15 years’ experience for short-term contract work overseas. It organizes 500 placements (工作安置) a year, and at the moment supply is surpassing demand. A BESO spokesman said that the organization is ‘limited by funding rather than a lack of volunteers.”Enthusiastic but unqualified students do not impress as much as they once did alongside accountants, managers and doctors. The typical volunteer, these days, has been in full-time employment for at least five years and is highly qualified. And the profession which provides the biggest portion of volunteers is education—headmasters and schoolinspectors as well as classroom teachers.56. According to the passage, the volunteers______.A.are becoming fewerB.are getting older and olderC.are mostly studentsD.are inexperienced and unqualified57. All the statements are true about Prince William EXCEPTthat______.A.his trip was organized by a government institutionB.his trip has triggered a surge of altruismC.he is not a representative volunteer in ageD.he presents the image of idealistic youth58. From the second paragraph we can know that ______.A. the average volunteer is not much older now than forty years agoB. the number of applications to work abroad declined in themid-1990sC. there were more applications to work abroad in the early 1990sthan in the late 1990sD. of those who have submitted applications a majority have beenchosen and sent abroad59. There are more older people who want to do VSO because______.I.more people take early retirementII. more older people feel they are in good healthIII. the foreign countries where the volunteers go want people with more qualifications, skills and experienceA. I onlyB. II onlyC. I and IID. I, II and III60.According to the last paragraph, the typical volunteer may be _____.A. a highly qualified headmaster or teacherB. an enthusiastic but unqualified young studentC. a well-experienced accountant, manager, or doctorD. an executive or businessman with at least 15 years’ experience Key: B, A, B, D, APassage 4With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s a move similar to what a Texas A&M University researcher has been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine and a pioneer in embryo (胚胎) transfer work and related procedures, says he salutes the Chinese effort and “I wish them all the best success possible. It’s a worthwhile project, certainly not an easy one, and it’s very much like what we’re attempting here at Texas A&M—to save animals from extinction.”Noah’s Ark is aimed a t collecting eggs, embryos, semen (精子) and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Kraemer says there would beenough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct over the next 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead Female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.The entire procedure could take from three to Five years to complete.“The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy. It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Missyplicity Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly applaud their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’sa research that is very much needed.”61. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to ______.A. implant embryo into a host animalB. salute the Chinese efforts in saving pandasC. save endangered animals from extinctionD. introduce cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of aJapanese white rabbit62. How long will the Chinese panda-cloning project take according tothe passage?A.1 year.B. 3 to 5 years.C. 2 years.D. 25 years.63. The word “groundbreaking” (para.7) can be interpreted as______.A. essentially newB. pioneeringC. evolutionaryD. epoch-making64. What could be the major problem in cloning pandas according toProfessor Kraemer?A. Lack of available panda eggs.B. Lack of host animals.C. Lack of qualified researchers.D. Lack of funds.65. The best title for the passage may be ______.A.China—the Native Place of Pandas ForeverB. China’s Efforts to Clone PandasC. China’s First Cloned PandaD. Exploring the Possibility to Clone PandasKey: C, D, A, B, BPassage 5If there is one thing scientists hate to hear. it is that the game is over. Raised on the belief of an endless voyage of discovery, they recoil (畏缩) from the suggestion that most of the best things have already been located. If they have, today’s scientists ca n hope to contribute no more than a few grace notes to the symphony of science.A book to be published in Britain this week, The End of Science, argues persuasively that this is the case. Its author, John Horgan, is a senior writer for Scientific American magazine, who has interviewed many of today’s leading scientists and science philosophers. The shock of realizing that science might be over came to him, he says, when he was talking to Oxford mathematician and physicist Sir Roger Penrose.The End of Science provoked a wave of denunciation (谴责) in the United States last year. “The reaction has been one of complete shock and disbelief,” Mr. Horgan says.The real question is whether any remaining unsolved problems, of which there are plenty, lend themselves to universal solutions. If they do not, then the focus of scientific discovery is already narrowing. Since the triumphs of the 1960s—the genetic code, plate tectonics (板块构造说), and the microwave background radiation that went a long way towards proving the B ig Bang ―genuine scientific revolutions have been scarce. More scientists are now alive, spending more moneyon research, than ever. Yet most of the great discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries were made before the appearance of state Sponsorship, when the scientific enterprise was a fraction of its present size.Were the scientists who made these discoveries brighter than today’s? That seems unlikely. A far more reasonable explanation is that fundamental science has already entered a period of diminished returns. “Look, don’t get me wrong,” says Mr. Horgan. “There are lots of important things still to study, and applied science and engineering can go on for ever. I hope we get a cure for cancer, and for mental disease though there are few real signs of progress.”66. The sentence “most of the best things have already beenlocated” could mean ______.A. most of the best things remain to be changedB. most of the best things have already been changedC. most secrets of the world have already been discoveredD. there have never been so many best things waiting to bediscovered67. John Horgan ______.I. has published a book entitled The End of ScienceII. has been working as an editor of Scientific AmericanIll. has been working many years as a literary criticIV. is working as a science writerA. I onlyB. I and IIC. I, II and IVD. I and IV68. There have not been many genuine scientific revolutions in the pastfew decades because ______.A. there are too many important things for scientists to studyB. there have been decreased returns in the research of fundamentalscienceC. today’s scientists are not as intelligent as those in the pastD. applied science and engineering take up too much time andenergy69. The term “the Big Bang” probably r efers to ______.A. a geological theoryB. the genetic code theoryC. the origin and the power of atomic energyD. a theory of the origin of the universe70. The best title of this passage can be ______.A. The Harsh Challenge Has to Be Met by Modern ScientistsB. Great Scientific Discoveries Will Never Be PossibleC. The Chance for Great Scientific Discoveries Becomes ScarceD. The State Sponsorship and Scientific Enterprise Are All in VainClozeThere is virtually no limit to how one can serve community interests, from spending a few hours a week with some charitable organization to practically Full-time work For a social agency. Just as there are opportunities For voluntary service 71 (VSO) foryoung people before they take up Full-time employment, 72 there are opportunities for overseas service For 73 technicians in developing countries. Some people, 74 those who retire early, 75 their technical and business skills in countries 76 there is a special need.So in considering voluntary or 77 community service there are more opportunities than there 78 were when one first began work. Most voluntary organizations have only a small full-time 79 , and depend very much on volunteers and part-timers. This means that working relationships are different from those in commercial organizations, and values may be different. 80 some ways they may seem more casual and less efficient, but one should not 81 them by commercial criteria. The people who work with them do so for different reasons and with different 82 both personal and 83 . One should not join them 84 to arm them with professional expertise; they must be joined with commitment to the 85 , not business efficiency. Because salaries are 86 or non-existent many voluntary bodies offer modest expenses. But many retired people take part in community service for 87 , simply because they enjoy the work.Many community activities possible 88 retirement were also possible during one’s working life but t hey are to be undertaken 89 seriously for that. Retired people who are just looking for something different or unusual to do should not consider 90community service.71. A. over sea B. oversea C. overseas D. over seas72.

In today's competitive job market, having a higher level of education is often a requirement for higher positions or promotions. By obtaining a Master's degree, individuals can enhance their skills and knowledge, making them more competitive and desirable to employers. This can open up new career opportunities and help them climb the corporate ladder.Secondly, pursuing a Master's degree while working allows individuals to continue their personal development. Education is not only about gaining knowledge but also about personal growth. Through academic studies, people can improve their critical thinking abilities, communication skills, and problem-solving capabilities. These skills are transferable and can benefit individuals in various aspects of their lives, both personally and professionally.Additionally, financial reasons play a significant role in the decision to pursue a Master's degree while working.

Choose the best a nswer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhat did you study at university If it was something along the li nes of law or business, you might want to look away now. That's becau se according to new research, which has found a link between our univ ersity subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperativ e tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plu s side, you're probably the life and soul of a party, the findings su ggest.Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university studen ts who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discover ed a correlation between the “Big Five” major personality traits an d the subjects they were enrolled on.For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other sub jects, the study found. But when it came to “agreeableness” -- thetendency towards being helpful, generous and considerate -- the lawye rs scored particularly low, as did business and economics students.Arts and humanities students, as well as those studying psycholog y and politics scored highly for openness, meaning they were curious, imaginative and in touch with their inner feelings, while economists, engineers, lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low. However, the arts and humanities students also tended to be less conscientiou s and more nervous, typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodine ss. Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities stude nts for these traits.Study author Anna Vedel, from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, said she was surprised by the magnitude of the results. “The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial, far from,” s he said. “On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist.”And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as well as helpi ng academics to plan their lectures. “I’m not arguing that these re sults should play a major role in either guidance or selection, but i t might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt aboutstudy choices and want to make a choice based on more than abilities, for exa mple,” said Dr Vedel. “Or teachers might better understand their student population.”first paragraph implies that law or business students may ______ _.amused by the researchinterested in the researchthe researchthe researchto the research, law students scored particularly low in the tra it of _______.A. generosityB. opennessC. anxietyD. selfishness23. The word “conscientious” (Para. 4) probably means “_______ _”.A. moodyB. sensitiveC. curiousD. carefulVedel stated that the research _______.A. confirmed the link between personality and professionthat the differences were far from significantnot reliable because of its prejudicial observationnot have enough samples to support its findingsto Anna Vedel, the research may help ______.make wise choices in finding jobsunderstand their students bettermake presentations more academicallypupils go to better universitiesPassage TwoAlphaGo’s victory over Go( 围棋 )champion Lee Se-dol reportedly shocked artificial intelligence experts, who thought such an event wa s 10 to 15 years away. But if the timing was a surprise, the outcome was not. On the contrary, it was inevitable and entirely foreseeable.Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely we ll. Just as they beat the world champions at checkers(跳棋)and then c hess, they were destined to beat the champion at Go. Yet I don’t bel ieve, as some do, that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most of uswith nothing to do. Advancing technology will profoundly change the n ature of high-value human skills and that is threatening, but we are n’t doomed.The skills of deep human interaction, the abilities to manage the exchanges that occur only between people, will only become more valu able. Three of these skills stand out: The first, the foundation of t he rest, is empathy, which is more than just feeling someone else’s pain. It’s the ability to perceive what another person i s thinking o r feeling, and to respond in an appropriate way.The second is creative problem-solving in groups. Research on gro up effectiveness shows that the key isn’t team cohesion or motivatio n or even the smartest member’s IQ; rather, it’s the social sensiti vity of the members, their ability to read one another and keep anyon e from dominating.The third critical ability, somewhat surprisingly, is storytellin g, which has not traditionally been valued by organizations. Charts, graphs and data analysis will continue to be important, but that’s e xactly what technology does so well. To change people’s minds or ins pire them to act, tell them a story.These skills, though basic to our humanity, are fundamentally dif ferent from the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for most of human history, logic, knowledge and analysis, which we le arned from textbooks and in classrooms. By contrast, the skills of de ep human interaction address the often irrational reality of how huma n beings behave, and we find them not in textbooks but inside ourselv es. As computers master ever more complexity, that’s where we’ll fi nd the source of our continued value.26. According to the author, AlphaGo’s victory_____.have happened earlieras a pleasant surprisean expected resultmore a matter of luckword “presage”(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to“ _____”.A. surviveB. sufferC. inventD. predictis the author’s attitude towards the human future in the face o f technology?.

With WWOOFing, volunteers exc hange their time and work for food and accommodation. I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs(刺猬) digging about in the bushes, al l different coloured birds singing in the morning and endless rows of palm trees offering shade from the sun.For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to wor k with the land, live with the locals and share meals together. This is why I absolutely love WWOOFing. It has got to be one of the best w ays to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone in volved prioritises people and environment above profit. You get the t ime and space to deepen a connection with local communities and natur e.There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of d oing things, depending on the environment, climate and soil. At the f arm in La Réunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the tr unk which can be eaten in salads. Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison t o the real thing, fresh from the ground. When potting up the very beg innings of the palm trees, I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the trees' cycle. I was filled with awe that something so small co uld grow into something so big and strong.We also did lots of weeding, which helped me to get to know all k inds of different plants, to be able to identify which ones we coulduse as herbs/medicine/in salads and which were seen as uneatable. I a lso got to harvest pineapples and guava fruit(番石榴) to make jams wh ich will be sold at the local market.Of course, not everyone is able to travel far away into the field. The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing is that it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. The focus s hifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communi ties.A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.enables volunteers to ________.food and shelter for their workaround La Réunion for freethe differences between various birdsclose contact with wild animalsauthor found his farm life in La Réunio n quite ______A. awfulB. rewardingC. comfortableD. difficultauthor did all of the following on the organic farm EXCEPT _____ __.weedspalm treesfruitsvegetablesphilosophy of WWOOFing is to _______local environmentlocals live betterdifferent communitiesa fair exchangepassage is mainly about _____A. the development of WWOOFinglocal WWOOFing communitycharming WWOOFing experiencesystem of WWOOFingPassage FourExperts say distracted walking is a growing problem, as people of all ages become more dependent on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. They also note pedestrian deaths have been ri sing in recent years. In 2005, 11% of all US deaths involved pedestri ans, but that number rose to 15% in 2014.The rise in deaths coincides with states introducing bills that t arget pedestrians. Some states, such as Hawaii, Arkansas, Illinois, N evada and New York, continue to introduce legislation every year.The measure recently introduced by New Jersey assembly woman Pame la Lampitt would ban walking while texting and prohibit pedestrians o n public roads from using electronic communication devices unless the y are hands-free. Violators would face fines of up to $50, 15-day imp risonment or both, which is the same penalty as jaywalking(乱穿马路). Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the da ngers of walking while texting, said Lampit.Some see the proposal as an unnecessary government overreach, whi le others say they understand Lampitt's reasoning. But most agree tha t people need to be made aware of the issue. "Distracted pedestrians, like distracted drivers, present a potential danger to themselves an d drivers on the road," Lampitt said. "An individual crossing the roa d distracted by their smartphone presents just as much danger to moto rists as someone jaywalking and should be held, at minimum, to the sa me penalty."The main question raised about the measure, though, is whether it can be enforced consistently by police officers who usually have mor e pressing matters to deal with. Some feel that rather than imposing a new law, the state should focus on distracted-walking education. La mpitt said the measure is needed to stop and penalize "risky behavior. " She cited a National Safety Council report that showed distracted-w alking incidents involving cellphones accounted for an estimated 11,1 01 injuries from 2000 through 2011.The study found a majority of those injured were female and most were 40 or younger. Talking on the phone was the most prevalent activ ity at the time of injury, while texting accounted for 12%. Nearly 8 0% of the injuries occurred as the result of a fall, while 9% occurre d from the pedestrian striking a motionless object.passage is mainly concerned with _____difficulty in enforcing road regulationsdeaths caused by distracted walkingdangers of jaywalking on busy streetswalking involving smartphonesstates introducing bills that target pedestrians ________.benefited from the billsit hard to carry them outbeen promoting the legislationhave fewer deaths of pedestriansto the measure proposed by Lampitt, walking while texting would ______.illegalsafety educationblamed publiclya fine of over $50reasons that distracted pedestrians are as dangerous as ________.driversdriversof the following would the author of the passage most probably a gree with?A. Males are more vulnerable to distracted-walking injures.officers are unhappy with the proposed law.education is more important than penalty.distracted-walking incidents call for real attention.Section BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by qu estions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answer A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.The saying “Clothes Make the Man” dates back some 400 years and it refers to the fact that when people see a well-dressed person, th ey assume that person is a professional, capable, and (especially in the old days) rich. Therefore, you had to dress like how you wanted t o be perceived, what you wanted to eventually achieve. Fast forward 400 years, lots of folks still think the same way. But does it really make a difference?I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old sayin g. I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering r eality. Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influential Absolutely! Is it all that it seems Less often than you think. How many times have you cast an ini tial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you misse d out on a great opportunity, person or ideaComment 1In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being th e most successful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage. I did no t know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he in vented the concept of “business casual.” In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.Comment 2You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care about how h e was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achiev e his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jean s uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind.Comment 3It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a fo rmal dinner party in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place becaus e of his clothes, he looked around and said he hadn’t noticed.of the following might the writer of the passage agree with?A. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.should not judge a person by his clothing.is clothes that make the man.well-dressed are most likely to succeed.to the writer of the passage, perception ______.prove wrongpowerful and reliablehalf realitybe worthless to uswriter of Comment 1 seems to ______.the way Steve Jobs dressed for business occasionsthat business people have no taste in clothingthat the well-dressed are the most successfulD. think that Steve Jobs’ casualness reflected his self-confiden ceof Steve Jobs, the writer of Comment 2 ________.out that Steve Jobs was a very aggressive personthat he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same clubthe same view as the writer of the passageSteve Jobs’ casualness was carefully thought outhe went to the dinner party in jeans (Comment 3), the philosophe r _______that people liked his clothesnot aware of how his clothes lookedquite embarrassedhimself out of placePart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage One What did you study at university? If it was something along the lines of law or business, you might want to look away now. That's because according to new research, which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, you're probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest. Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between the “Big Five” major personality traits and the subjects they wereeolled on. For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects, the study found. But when it came to “agreeableness” -- the tendency towards being helpful, generous and considerate -- the lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students. Arts and humanities students, as well as those studying psychology and politics scored highly for openness, meaning they were curious, imaginative and intouch with their inner feelings, while economists, engineers, lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low. However, the arts and humanities students also tended to be less conscientious and more nervous, typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodiness. Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these traits. Study author Anna Vedel, from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, said she was surprised by the magnitude of the results. “The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial, far from,” she said. “On the more humorous side they do confirm ou r more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist.” And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who篇二：2016同等学力申硕英语真题及答案解析(卷一)Part I Oral Communication (10 points)Section A Directions: In this section there are two incomplete dialogues and each dialogue has three blanks and three choices A, B and C, taken from the dialogue.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneWhat did you study at university? If it was something along the lines of law or business, you might want to look away now. That's because according to new research, which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, you're probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest. Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between the “Big Five” major personality traits and the subjects they were eolled on. For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects, the study found. But when it came to “agreeableness” -- the tendency towards being helpful, generous and considerate -- the lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students.

Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these traits. Study author Anna Vedel, from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, said she was surprised by the magnitude of the results. “The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial, far from,” she said. “On the more humorous si de they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist.” And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as well as helping academics to plan their lectures. “I’m not arguing that these results should play a major role in either guidance or selection, but it might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt about study choices and want to make a choice based on more than abilities, for example,” said Dr Vedel. “Or teachers might better understand their student population.”21.The first paragraph implies that law or business students may _______.A.be amused by the researchB.be interested in the researchC.dislike the researchD.enjoy the research22.According to the research, law students scored particularly low in the trait of _______.
