But saying “I'm sorry” comes more easily for some people than it does for others. Character is vital in creating a sincere apology. Those who lack character are not up to the task. They may try to give apologies that sound genuine. They may even use fancy words, but a real apology demands character. A new study suggests that specific personality traits offer clues about whether a person is likely to offer a sincere apology.Psychologist Andrew Howell and his colleagues at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton devised a questionnaire to measure a per son’s willingness to beg someone’s pardon. They asked participants to indicate their level of agreement with a series of statements, such as “My continued anger often gets in the way of me apologizing” or “If I think no one will know what I have done, I am not likely to apologize.” The researchers then used the answers to determine every participant’s “proclivity（倾向））to apologize,” and they cross-referenced these scores with results from a variety of personality assessments.From the beginning, Howell was confident that people with high marks for compassion and agreeability would be willing apologizers-and the study results confirmed his hypothesis（假设）. But the experiment also turned up some surprising traits of the unrepentant（不思悔改的）.People with low self-esteem, for example, are less inclined to apologize, even though they probably feel bad after a conflict. Unlike people who experience guilt about a specific action and feel sorry for the person they have wronged, individuals who experience generalized shame may actually be feeling sorry for themselves.In contrast, “people who are sure of themselves have the capa city to confess to wrongdoing and address it,” Howell suggests. But just the right amount of self-esteem is key. The study also found that narcissists-people who, in Howell’s words, “are very egocentric, with an overly grand view of themselves”—were reluctant to offer an apology.The researchers were most surprised to find that a strong sense of justice was negatively correlated with a willingness to apologize, perhaps suggesting that contrition（忏悔）and “an eye for an eye” philosophy are incompatible（不能并存的）, Reconciliation（和解）may end a conflict, but it cannot always settle a score.38．What kind of people are more likely to apologize?A. Intelligent people.B. Confident people.C. People valuing fairness.D. People feeling sorry for themselves.39．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests .A. an end of conflict doesn’t mean wrongdoers have been punishedB. “an eye for an eye” philosophy cannot solve an argumentC. only by deep regret can one learn the lesson of his wrongdoingsD. unsatisfactory compromises cannot end a conflict peacefully40．The study done by Andrew Howell and his colleagues reveals .A. what influences one to be a willing apologizerB. when people might apologize willinglyC. what a willing apologizer is all aboutD. how to become a willing apologizerCIt’s no surpr ise that Sony Corp. will finally stop producing Betamax videocassettes. Betamax transformed the world’s viewing habits 40 years ago but it was quickly beaten by another format, VHS. No new Betacam recorders have been available, even in Japan, for over 13 years. So why did the format last so long? It’s easy to blame corporate stubbornness. But the persistence of obsolescent（逐步废弃的）technologies goes beyond culture. It takes three forms:The first is pragmatic（实用主义的）. Many people, including owners of the latest devices, retain some old ones because they want to avoid some of the vulnerabilities of new equipment. Consider the often-ridiculed fax machine: A scanned document may be more convenient and cheaper to send than a fax, for example, but unencrypted（未加密的）personal information is obviously easy to hack online. Another pragmatic reason for using older devices is simply that they still work. Professional laboratory instruments and theatrical lighting systems with years of useful life ahead of them still operate with floppy disks, forexample. And world’s military leaders, for all their fascination with advanced weapons, find it hard to part with older tough ones. The military historian David Edgerton, in his book The Shock of the Old: Technology and Global History Since 1900, argues that Hitler would have done better to build 24,000 fighter aircraft for the cost of his “wonder weapon” V-2 rocket program, and that the U.S. could have defeated Japan earlier if Manhattan Project funds had been used for more conventionally armed B-29s.A second reason for using older technology is aesthetic（有关美学的）. Where pragmatic users like saving money, aesthetic ones will gladly pay more for what they consider a higher quality or more authentic experience. Not too long ago, vinyl records（黑胶唱片）were associated with middle-aged purists; now they appeal to the younger generation as well. Sometimes, pragmatic choices change into aesthetic ones. Modern automatic transmissions offerbetter fuel economy than the few remaining U.S. stick shift models, and are now standard equipment on American-built cars. Yet remaining devotees still desire manual transmissions for the tactile（触觉的）experience of driving them.Paradoxically, the web and social media have also helped prolong the lives of old technologies, especially on aesthetic grounds. The page “Driving a Stick Shift” has over 10,000 Likes on Facebook. Amazon, eBay and modern search engines make it easy to find niche products in the US.The third conservative style might be called rescue technology. Many essential records and elements of audiovisual production have not been and won’t be digitized. Whereas the last American compan y to sell IBM card-reading machines, Cardamation Co., went out of business in 2012 after its owner’s death, the California Tab Card Co. still sells punch（打孔）cards. And at least one successful family-owned technology business, Sparkler Chemical Filters of Texas, still punches its business records. Public libraries have long abandoned exclusive use of card catalogues, and the last company preparing new cards discontinued them in October 2015, but there are still countless historic public and private records in file card format that must be preserved, and damaged cards replaced.Whatever the motive, saving old formats is a green reply to planned obsolescence and the electronic waste threat. So let’s toast, not mock, the Japanese Betamax fans who stayed loyal to the end.41．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .A. Betamax has less effect on people’s viewing habits than VHSB. Betamax videocassettes have been unavailable for many yearsC. the persistence of Betamax is bound to result from corporate stubbornnessD. Betacam recorders have been dropped long before Betamax videocassettes are shelved42．The underlined word “vulnerabilities” probably means .A. lack of what is needed or necessaryB. feelings that something can be misusedC. unclearness by virtue of being poorly expressedD. possibilities of being exposed to something undesirable43．David Edgerton’s book is mentioned to highlight .A. the great power of advanced new weaponsB. the shortcomings of obsolescent technologiesC. the effectiveness of old equipmentD. the high cost of building new devices44．What can we learn from Paragraphs 3&4?A. Aesthetic users tend to prioritize experiences over prices.B. Pragmatic users are usually not so wealthy aesthetic users.C. Devotees of manual transmissions are attracted by their pragmatic value.D. Youthful music lovers spend more money on records than middle-aged purists.45．The author’s attitude towards those who stick with outdated technology is one ofA. appreciationB. disappointmentC. sympathyD. skepticismDAre we trapped in the present, free to move in space yet unable to travel in the fourth dimension（次元）? Or is there a chance or a glimmer of a possibility that the past and future could unfurl（展开）to our physical experience at will? James Gleick’s latest offering Time Travel: A History sets out to question the questions, exploring how the idea of time travel emerged, held our imaginations and shaped our society.From the start it is apparent who the hero of this journey is. “On e way or another, the inventions of Mr.H.G. Wells colour every time-travel story that followed,” writes Gleick, pointing out that while a small number of earlier stories explored utopian（鸟托邦的）futures, it was him who, with his 1895 work, got to the practical details of the mater in knocking up a time machine.It’s easy to forget that time travel is a relatively recent idea. As Gleick points out, for most of human history, change was incremental-yesterday looked much like today, today much like tomorrow. “Before futurism could be born, people had to believe in progress,” he writes. The development of technology, resulting in the industrial revolution, made that possible. With a great many changes, the future, and what it might look like, became a subject for meditation. And as archaeology developed, writers like E Nesbit began flights of fancy to the past, too.Embraced by novelists, wrestled with by philosophers and informed by science—not least Hermann Minkowski’s revelation, following Einstein’s breakthrough, of four-dimensional space-time-the possibility that the arrow of time could be tinker（走街串巷的小炉匠）became a meme（口头禅）. From fiction writers such as Robert Heinlein, to F Scott Fitzgerald and his The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, from Terminator to Dr Who, events in the future which are affected by imaginary developments in science blossomed the literary world.As Gleick reveals, problems and paradoxes（看似矛盾而可能正确的说法）were immediately put forward. Is our future governed by fate, or free will? Does time travel always mean ending up naked, with your clothes left in the present? “All the paradoxes are time loops（循环）. They all force us to think about causality, the relationship of cause and effec t.”Among those doing the thinking are philosophers and scientists. Attempting to tackle the idea that wormholes-tunnels in space-time-could be turned into time machines allowing journeys into the past, even Stephen Hawking has entered the heated discussion, concluding that the laws of physics are against it.Gleick navigates the twists and turns of our fascination with time travel, investigating its evolution in literature, exploring scientific principles that have hinted at or contradicted the idea, and teasing the curious spell it has cast across society with its suggestion of immortality（永生）.But, as he notes, not every product of this obsession with time was hard to understand. “The time capsule（时间胶囊）is a characteristically 20th-century invention: a tragicomic time machine. It lacks an engine, goes nowhere, sits and waits,” he writes, surveying various attempts to send snapshots（快照）of civilisation into the future. Indeed, it’s hard to know whether disappointment, amusement or simply confusion will be the dominant emotion when the Crypt of Civilisation time capsule at Oglethorpe in Atlanta is opened in 8113 AD. Created in 1936, its contents include voice recordings of historical figures.Not every idea of time travel is rooted in the physical, and Gleick explores how in the act of storytelling we mess with chronology（年代表）. “We don’t have enough tenses. Or rather, we don’t have enough names for all the tenses we create,” he writes of the complexity unleashed in literature by the concept. Readers, too, become time travellers, able to move at will backwards and forwards through a story. More than that, Gleick argues, books cannot be separated from time. Even if you know a book well -even if you can recite it, like the Homeric（荷马史诗的）poet一you cannot experience it as a timeless object.46．What’s the author’s purpose in askin g the two questions in the first paragraph?A. To arouse readers’ interest in reading the passage.B. To introduce the latest book by James Gleick.C. To stress the significance of scientific development.D. To encourage readers to explore the possibility of time travel.47．The underlined word “incremental” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “”.A. gradualB. impossibleC. unwelcomeD. abrupt48．Which of the following is unlikely to be science fiction?A. Dr Who.B. Terminator.C. Time Travel: A History.D. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.49．What can we learn from the passage?A. People who return from time travel are often described as naked.B. Philosophers have firmly believed in the possibility of time travel.C. Stephen Hawking denies that wormholes can be tunnels for time travel.D. James Gleick thinks time travel can guarantee the everlastingness of one’s life.50．We can infer from the last two paragraphs that .A. the voice recordings stored in Crypt of Civilisation may become unclear in 8113B. exploring a book's historical background can help better understand its contentsC. authors of sci-fi novels should draw a clear time line by adopting proper tensesD. James Gleick advises people to distinguish reality from imagination第II卷（非选择题）四、任务型阅读Factory farming is a type of farming that involves raising a huge number of livestock（牲畜）in comparatively tinier enclosed spaces, with a view to supplying them to the livestock market. It took root in the later part of the 19th century. On the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, the inventions of antibiotics and pesticides were increasing in number, which made it possible to practice factory farming. And gradually, with better farming methods, livestock were able to be raised indoors leading to mass production in a shorter while. Nowadays, according to reliable sources, more than 50% of the livestock are produced using this concept.Factory farming is one of the most important food production methods around the world today because it has a lot of advantages. For example, there are huge numbers of mouths to feed, and mass production leads to the purchase of poultry and the related items. Since the items aren’t priced too high for consumers to afford, people appreciate buying them in a large number. And as more and more livestock are artificially raised, more and more chicken, beef and eggs are out for sale. The purchase rate is higher and despite being reasonably priced, the produce fetches a profit for the farms. In addition, since the business is enormous andnot be as good as usual. The products thus obtained are of such low quality, which ultimately affects our health as well. Actually, since the entire production is artificial, the meat is overloaded with hormones （激素）and drugs, and the bacteria develop resistance to the antibiotics, which is why many diseases remain untreated. Worse still, the animals’ waste can pollute the water and air, causing extensive damage to the environment. It may also lead to harmful emissions and contribute to the already increasing global warming.Because of the above advantages and disadvantages of factory farming, the concept has been a subject of massive debate all over the world, wherever this practice has been employed. Supporters of this concept argue that it does provide enough food for the increasing population and is more affordable. However, unfavorable opinions suggest that there are better ways of producing food, rather than subjecting animals to this suffering. The debate has been going on for quite a while, with no one being able to gain the upper hand.五、图表作文 61．请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
