To do this, you must have a clear picture of what you have read, and this in itself will ___31___ active and focused reading. With academic reading, it is necessary to focus constantly on what the author is saying. Yet many academic texts are__32__ written in unfamiliar ways, which make them much more difficult to manage than, for example, a novel or a magazine article.Although sometimes there may be reasons why you need to skim-read an article or book, this is likely to be only to get the general idea of what is being said, as a way of deciding whether it is __33__ reading material or not. In general, skim-reading is not a particularly useful strategy for a student, but you may well be used to doing this in other contexts, for example, skimming through a newspaper article or surfing the web. Instead of skim-reading, you will be developing ways of concentrating on quite dense texts and making __34__ of them.Even though you may only be reading for short__35__ of time, it is likely that you will have to concentrate far more intensely on academic reading material than, for example, when reading for pleasure. You don’t necessarily have to work in the library, but you will need to decide what type of location and atmosphere suits you best, and establish conditions that are __36__ to effective study.The __37__ difficulty that most students face is choosing their reading. The first thing to do is to __38__ the reading list you have been given for books and articles that seem relevant to your particular assignment. Doing a library search, by key words or subject, is also useful if the __39__ on your reading list are already on loan from the library. Your tutor should also be able to advise you as to which are the most relevant__40__ or websites.III.

Fill ineachblankwiththewordorphrasethatbestfitsthecontext.Even before the dust had settled on the wreckage of our financial institutions, the accusations were flying. Who was really to __41__? Was it the greedy investment bankers who were only too happy to take huge risks with loans and credit as long as they were gaining enormous profits? Was it the lenders, who were __42__ to lend money to people far beyond their creditworthiness? Were the politicians and regulators at fault for allowing debt to build up unchecked? Or were the homebuyers responsible for taking out loans they could never expect to __43__? And let’s not forget the __44__, who were happy to take the returns on offer without asking why the interest rates were so high.Of course, the truth is that all of the above __45__ the collapse and, unless we stop pointingthe finger at each other and focus on the serious business of recognizing our __46__ responsibility for our difficulty, we will find ourselves repeating the same mistakes.Let’s face it, we are not good at learning lessons from pa st __47__. The Great Depression of the 1930s was, like the current crisis, preceded by a housing boom, a long period of cheap credit and a stock market crash. There are also disturbing __48__ between recent developments and the events in Japan in the 1990s.But already there are worrying signs of our being __49__. Investment banks are falling back into old habits, hiring high-fliers on unbelievably high salaries and bonus in the name of ‘We need good people’. Meanwhile, governments are hesitating in their c ommitment to __50__ the tough financial regulations that they were banging their fists about only months ago. It is as though we can only __51__ for so long. Then we shrug our shoulders and head unwittingly in the direction of the next __52__.The __53__ is not to express our anger to each other. __54__, we all need to pause—bankers, borrowers, lenders, savers, legislators and regulators—and acknowledge our failure. Then we must have the courage to take the necessary steps, whether political, corporate or __55__, to prevent yet another cycle of boom and bust.41. A. blame B. expect C. remain D. represent42.

A. professional B. personal C. formal D. educational Section BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Over six decades the pianist Alfred Brendel gradually built up and maintained a dominant position in the world of classical music. He was an intellectual figure who explored and recorded the main stream European works for the piano. He wrote and played a great deal, but taught very little.And then, four or five years ago, a young boy Kit Armstrong, appeared backstage at one of Brendel’s concerts and asked for lessons. Initially,Brendel didn’t take the suggestionvery seriously. He had had very few pupils and he saw no reason to start now. He quotes from another famous pianist: ‘You don’t employ a mountain guide to teach a child how to walk.’B ut there was something that struck him about the young boy—then about 14. He listened to him play. Brendel explained, ‘He played remarkably well and by heart. Then he brought me a CD of a little recital he had given where he played so beautifully that I thought to myself, “I have to make time for him.”I t was a performance that really led you from the first to last note.’As Brendel is bowing of the public eye, Kit is making his way into it—restrained by Brendel, ever nervous about the young man burning out early. Kit, now 19, is a restless, impatient presence away from the lessons—always learning new languages; taking himself off to study maths, writing computer code or playing tennis. On top of all this he composes. ‘This was very important,’Brendel says, ‘If you want to learn to read music properly it is helped by the fact that you try to write something yourself. Then I noticed that Kit had a phenomenal memory and that was a phenomenal sight reader. But more than this is his ability to listen to his own playing, his sensitivity to sound and his ability to listen to me when I try to explain something. He not only usually understands what I mean, but he can do it. And when I tell him one thing in a piece, he will do it everywhere in the piece where it comes in later.’Brendel catches himself and looks at me severely. ‘Now Idon’t want to raise any expectations. I’m very angry if some newspapers try to do this. There was one article which named him as the future great pianist of the 21st century. I mean, really, it’s the worst thing. One doesn’t say that in a newspaper. And it has done a great harm. As usual, with gifted young players, he can play certain things amazingly well,while others need more time and experience. It would be harmful if a critic was there expecting the greatest perfection.56. What can be leaned about Brendel from the first paragraph?A. He seldom took on pupils.B. He owed his success to his intelligence.C. He preferred playing the piano to composing.D. He became dominant in classical music sixty years ago.57. Brendel uses the quotation about the mountain guide to illustrate that ____.A. it is not always easy to teach people the basicsB. it is unnecessary for an expert to teach people the basicsC. it is not wise to try to teach people new skills before they are readyD. it is impossible for people to learn something new without others’ help58. Which of Kit’s musical abilities does Brendel admire the most?A. Kit is able to write music himself.B. Kit is able to understand and respond to advice well.C. Kit is able to remember all the music he has ever played.D. Kit is able to play a piece of music the first time he sees it.59. Brendel catches himself (in Paragraph 4 )because _____.A. he realizes he has said too much to a journalistB. he does n’t enjoy giving interviews to journalistsC. he hates the way that he has often been misquotedD. he wants to be careful he doesn’t upset any music critics(B)Three strikes and you’re out!FAQ●Where does the term ‘three strikes law’ come from?They named the law after the three strikes rule in baseball where the person batting is allowed two strikes (he can miss two balls), but on the third strike he is out. The three strikes law is based on the same principle—three convictions and you’re taken out of society.●______?Twenty-six states in the USA have the three strikes law, but each state has its own interpretation of what it means. Some states say the three convictions must all involve violent crimes for the three strikes to apply. However, California is different from most other states—they insist on giving life sentences for any third conviction.●Does the three strikes law work as deterrent?Some studies found that nationally there has been very little difference in the number of re-offenders since the laws were first used in the early 90s. Other studies suggest that it does stop criminals from re-offending. The number of murders in Los Angeles, California, fell from 1,000 in 1992 to297 in 2010. But these figures do not convince everyone of the law’s effectiveness.60. Which of the following is most likely to be sentenced to life according to the three strikes law?A. One who robbed a pizza shop for the first time.B. One who stole three video tapes from a supermarket.C. One who committed robbery after a theft and a robbery charge.D.One who took the written test of a driving test for his cousin again.61. Which of the following questions best fits the blank in the passage?A. Why is this law enforced in the USA?B. Is this law interrupted in the same way?C. What kind of crimes are involved in the law?D. In which state has this law been the least effective?62. T he word “” most probably means something ___.A. to prevent people from doing something wrongB. to convince people of the law’s effectivenessC. to encourage people to stop violent crimesD. to make people afraid of being punished(C)New technologies are rattling the economy on all fronts. While thepredictions are specific and dire, bigger changes are surely coming. Clearly, we need to adjust for the change ahead. But we may be preparing in the wrong way.Both history and psychology tell us that our capacity to predict the future is limited, while our capacity to believe in such predictions is unlimited. We have always been surprised.Rather than planning for the specific changes we imagine, it is better to prepare for the unimagined—for change itself.Take education. Were we to plan for specific changes, we would start to teach skills we thought would be rewarded in the future. For example, computer programming might become even more important in high schools than it already is. Maybe that will prove to be wise and we will have a more productive work force.But perhaps technology evolves quickly enough that in a few decades we talk to rather than program, computers. In that case, millions of people would have invested in a skill as old-fashioned as penmanship.Instead, rather than changing what we teach, we could change when we teach.Currently, all the formal education most people will receive comes early in life. Specific skills may be learned on the job, but the fundamentals are acquired in school when we are young. This order—learn early, benefit for a lifetime—makes sense only in a world where the useful skills stay constant.But in a rapidly changing world, the fundamentals that were useful decades ago may be useless now; more important, new essential skills may have arisen. Anyone helping a grandparent learnhow to use a computer has experiences this problem.Once we recognize that human capital, like technology, needs refreshing, we have to restructure our institutions so people acquire education later in life. We don’t merely need trainingprograms for particular populations or circumstances, expensive and short executive-education and training people receive routinely at age 13.The safest prediction is that reality will outstrip our imaginations. So let us craft our education not just for what we expect but for what will surely surprise us.63. By “our capacity to predict the future is limited, while our capacity to believe in such predictions is unlimited”(in paragraph 2), the writer implies that _____.A. predictions are coming true thanks to technologyB. we need to develop our ability to predict to the fullC. it is unwise to put so much of our trust in predictionsD. predicting in unlimited ways helps us get used to changes64.The example of programming is used in the passage to ____.A. show how fast computer science is advancingB. illustrate what is taught now may soon be out of dateC. emphasize the importance of productive work forceD. argue for the necessity to teach students new technology65. What suggestion does the writer make about education?A. Fundamentals should be taught as early as possible.B. Students should be taught those constantly useful skills.C. Trainings should be classified according to circumstances.D. Schools should make it possible for us to get educated later.66. It can be concluded from the passage that ___.A. the miraculous reality is what we need to draw inspiration fromB. technological advances have expanded our scope of imaginationC. the best way to prepare for the future may be to prepare for changeD. education is inevitably surprising us for what it does to human capitalSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.My Brand Is MeAraronBondaroff is 29. A-Ron, as he is also known, has a very high opinion of his own importance in the youth culture of Lower Manhattan in New York. As far as he is concerned, you can presume that every cool person south of Delancey Street will like what he likes. No need to ask them what they want. Ask him. A-Ron has been asking himself a question lately:”_____67_______”Bondaroff dropped out of high school at age 15. He got a job in Lower Manhattan at a store selling items with the “Supreme” name on them. Theoretically a skateboard, Supreme was really a brand about attitude. In his store, clerks would insult you to your face if you weren’t cool e nough. A-Ron was not only cool enough, he was photographed for Supreme ads and became its “unofficial face.”______68_______ A group in Australia paid for him to come there to discuss new trends. His elaborate birthday party was sponsored by Nike. He was figuring out that he had the option of becoming a “culture expert.” He concluded that there was no reason to rent his coolness to other companies. If they could earn money from his great taste, he figured, he could earn even more.Young people have always found fresh ways to rebel, express individuality, or form subculture communities: new art, new music, new literature, new films, new forms of leisure, or even whole new media forms. ______69______ He calls it “aNYthing”, making it sound like some very hip independent film company or a punk band. In fact, a NYthing is just a brand. A-Ron puts the label on T-shirts, hats, and other items, which he sells in his own store, among other places.A-Ron has branded himself, but it is not a brand with a large range. How does your brand get bigger when it is, essentially, just you? _____70______ His blog announces the latest parties and offers pictures of the cool people dropping by his store. He has been thinking about whether he can open a store in Japan. He seems to think he can be to the world what he believes he is to Lower Manhattan.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it it illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Public opinion counts…Modbury is a typical small town of the south of England with a population of about 1,600. Typical, that is , apart from the fact that there are no plastic carrier bags in the town. None, Plastic bags have been well and truly dumped!The removal of the plastic bags was the brainchild of Rebecca Hosking, Modbury resident and documentary-maker. Filming a documentary in the Pacific Ocean, Rebecca was horrified at the effects of plastic bags on the wildlife off Hawaii. Among other things, she saw seabirds fatally trapped in plastic bags that don’t biodegrade. When Rebecca returned to her home town, she discussed this problem with people, including the shopkeepers, and everyone supported her suggestion to make the town plastic bag free.But for Rebecca’s concept, Modbury would still be an unremarkable little place. Now, however, shoppers take re-useable cotton bags shopping with them, or they buy biodegradable cornstarch ones in the shops. The shopkeepers now wrap their goods in paper. To prove that he townsfolk are not only committed to reducing plastic waste, they organized a mass beach clean-up last year. Dozens of volunteers came to the beach on the appointed day to clean it up, taking the rubbish that visitors throw away and recycling it. And the greatest part of that rubbish was… no, not plastic bags, but plastic bottles.Becoming the first town in Europe to ban plastic bags, Modbury is now harvesting the rewards of fame—reporters and camera crews from newspapers and TV channels across the world are coming to the mild town to find out its secret. And, country to some of the initial reports, it is a normal town, trying to live life in a slightly different way. As one resident put it:” We’re ordinary people, but we want to make just a little difference.”V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 72．会有人反对吃水果蔬菜吗？（argue）73. 说谢谢时，请务必真心诚意。

AIf you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goe s out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike —goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, youcan set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.1. The Tile app can help you .A. find your missing itemsB. use your phone more wiselyC. save your phone’s battery powerD. connect something to your phone2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. What the Tile app is.B. How the Tile app works.C. The advantages of the Tile app.D. Why the Tile app was invented.4. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. An advertisement.C. A personal diary.D. A news report.BThe island of Port Cros is in the south of France. I first visitedit about ten years ago with my wife. I had read that it was a magical place and it seemed fascinating (迷人的), but I couldn’t believe that it was true. In fact, it was much more magical than the tourist brochures (指南) had said.The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island. They didn’t allow any new building projects. There is only one hotel and no camping is allowed. Vi sitors can’t use mountain bikes or smoke on the island. Sailing boats that visit the island mustn’t damage the bottom of the sea or pollute the water around it.When we arrived, we started walking to the beach of Port-Man, which was the furthest beach from the port. It took us two hours and when we arrived, the beach was deserted. It seemed that we were the only people on the island. Time seemed to stop. It was so beautiful that we stayed there all day. I visited there again last summer. Nothing had changed. The island still looked magical and mysterious, still with few tourists. It must be wonderful to stay the night on the island, I thought. After all the visitors have gone, the island must be so quiet—a real paradise (天堂)!5. The author got to know Port Cros at first due to _____.A. some tourist brochuresB. his wife’s introductionC. his first visit thereD. some TV programs6. How has the natural beauty of the island been kept according to the text?A. Foreign visitors are not allowed to visit it.B. Nothing has been built in the park there.C. Only bikes can be used on the island.D. Sailing boats mustn’t pollute the water.7. When the author first visited Port Cros, _____.A. it was very sunnyB. there were few visitors thereC. it took them a whole day to walk to Port-ManD. the island was deserted and he stayed there for a whole nightCCamp Jano IndiaCelebrate Indian culture, languages, arts, festivals and literature.

Though bids (出价) above the initial asking price of 1 million dollars had been coming in gradually since the copy was placed on the auction site (拍卖网站) eBay on July 14th, things really started to heat up during the final minutes when the price jumped from $2.5 to $2.6 and then $2.7 million, before shooting up to unbelievable 3,207,852 dollars!This of course was no ordinary Superman comic book, but an edition of the extremely sought-after (很吃香地) No. 1 of Action Comics series — the first publication of the superhero that was born from the creative minds of teenagers Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. Though Action Comics No. 1, which depicted a diaper-clad baby Superman lifting furniture, had a print run of 200,000 copies, only about 100 are known to exist today.While the rarity is certainly a reason for the high price, Stephen Fisher, CEO of , thinks it also has a lot to do with the fact that Superman was the world’s first superhero! Even so, none of the copies have been able to fetch (售得) as much as the most recent one, simply because they have not been as well-preserved. Graded a rare 9 out of 10 by CGC, a third party grading service for comic books, the book is the highest rated copy of Action Comics No. 1 so far. According to CGC officials, the 76-year-old comic book looks and feels as though it has just come off the newsstand (报摊).That is not surprising given that the original owner, a Virginian man who bought the book for only 10 cents in 1938, had carefully tucked it away (藏起来) in a wooden box for four decades. Fortunately, when he passed away, the book was bought by a string of collectors who all realized it was a rare treasure that needed to be looked after.Before this, the highest price paid for an Action Comics No.1 had been $2 million for a copy sold by Hollywood actor Nicholas Cage in 2011. Ironically, the two teenagers responsible for creating Superman received just 130 dollars when they sold the rights to the superhero to comic book publisher Detective Comics in 1938.12. When the Superman comic book was placed on eBay on July 14th, .A. it attracted no attention at allB. things started to heat up immediatelyC. the bid price didn’t go up very quickly at firstD. people thought it was worth millions of dollars13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why the comic book is well-preserved.B. Why the comic book is well worth reading.C. Why the comic book is worth so much money.D. Why the comic book has drawn so much attention.14. When the other collectors got the comic book after the Virginian man, they .A. all took very good care of itB. all liked reading it very muchC. didn’t believe it was worth a fortuneD. all kept it in the same way as that man15. What do we know about the creators of Superman?A. They didn’t want to sell the rights to a comic bookpublisher.B. They knew all along Superman would be the most successful comic book.C. They were professional comic book writers when they created Superman.D. They didn’t make much money from creati ng Superman.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brothertrained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?” Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

BDaniel Boone was born in the United States in 1734. He didn't go toschool and couldn't read, although he learned all about the forests, streams and hunting. He could move silently like an Indian leaving no marks. He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. Ayear later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places. Once helost to the Indians in battle and was taken away. The Indians liked him and became his friends. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86. He is remembered as an explorer(探险者)and a pioneer wholived an exciting life in the early years of American nation.4.Daniel Boone's early life was mainly spent in ______ .A.learning about natureB.hunting with his friendsC.learning useful skills from the IndiansD.studying at home because he couldn't go to school5. When he got married, Daniel Boone first planned to ______.A. set up a large farmB.go on a journey with his wifeC. find food, new land for his farmD.live a peaceful life with his family6. Daniel Boone became famous because ______ .A.he travelled a lot in the western landsB.he was very good at telling storiesC.he found better animal skins than othersD.he was the first to climb the Appalachian Mountains7. In this article, Daniel Boone is best described as ______ .A. warm-heartedB.strongC.carefulD.braveCI love to read before I go to sleep. It usually makes me feel calm. But a big part of this depends on what I read. I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons. Very often I’m smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress. Before we go to sleep, we may run over the day in our minds, and worry about tomorrow. We also may watch the news on TV, the news on our smart phones or tablets, or even answer work emails. But the news is rarely proclaiming (宣告) all the things that are happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we’re still at work. All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night. I sometimes read novels but, with the odd exception, I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it’s something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating, when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep. Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I’d suggest you find light-hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime,especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time,or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day. It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh, then you may feel even better. Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain. It strengthens the immune system, it’s good for the heart, and it is most definitely good for mental health. It even helps us improve our relationships. And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons, I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.8.What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A.They make people run over the past days.B.They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C.They are extremely popular with young people.D.They make people feel relaxed and happy.9.What can we know from the text?A.Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author’s favorite books.B.A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C.The author sometimes reads something about inspiration.D.Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.10.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A.What material brings us laughter.B.How laughter affects our health.C.What benefits laughter brings to us.D.Why laughter is good for us.11.What’s the main purpose of the text?A.To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B.To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C.To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D.To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.DPollution’s serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years. Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.As we know, the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. So green buildings are in great need.The environmental benefits of green buildings include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity (生物多样性),improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live there.The process of building green houses includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize (使减少到最低限度) human effects on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expenses are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build the small ones.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and costs. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants. Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection, recycling and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, water power and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.12.What can we know about green buildings?A.Producing no waste.B.Only using clean energy.C.Being made of new materials.D.Being environment-friendly.13. What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?A. Large.B. Small.C. Green.D. Low.14. What is the purpose of using green roofs?A.To fit the environment.B.To keep warm.C.To collect nature water.D.To reduce costs.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Promoting energy efficiency.B. Environmental benefits.C. Green buildings.D. Ecosystems and biodiversity.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to avoid a boring conversationWhat excuses should you use to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to? Here are tips and in offensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.1.Go for a refill (续杯).It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill.16And once you excuse yourself, make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well.2.

"or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how toremedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.46. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their byesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others47. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider48. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help49. When problems occur, winners take them as .A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? .A. A Winner's Achievement.B. A Winner's Problem.C. A Winner's Opportunity.D. A Winner's Secret.CFamous centenarians （百岁老人）still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire．"Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases．He knows from experience what it means,as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession．Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project．"You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said．When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature．It gave to me what it took from others．"Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character．Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens．Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer （103）, Nobel laureate Montalcini （101）and director Kurt Maetzig （100）, Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation．Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer．The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor．"The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently．He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder （胆囊）operation he composed a samba tune （桑巴舞曲）in the clinic．Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters．The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works．Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old．" He also plans to keep performing．"Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally（积分）of awards and is looking for a "good stage role"．.Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection．" In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor．She's convinced that humans grow on challenges．With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers．51．From the first two paragraphs, we can see ________．A．being active at 102 is achievable for everybodyB．Oliveira owes his long life to his mother’s helpC．being fit in old age is a matter of luck and characterD．social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior52．How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?A．4 B．5 C．6 D．753．By sa ying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” in Paragraph 5, Heesters shows us he ________．A．wants to sit or lie in comfort B．is waiting for people to pick him upC．is willing to work till he dies D．prefers to give performance at home 54．In the passage so many examples were given to show ________．A．old age is a big problem if you want to succeedB．as a senior citizen, you have to be open-minded and optimisticC．old people should never think of themselves as oldD．old age can not prevent a great person from achieving a lot55．In the writer’s opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not ________．A．sympathy B．pessimistic C．positive D．diligentDJoe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting．Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music．Joe and Delia met in a studio．Before long they were good friends and got married．They had only a small flat to live in , but they were happy．They loved each other, and they were both interested in art．Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money．Delia decided to give music lessons．One afternoon she said to her husband:“Joe, I’ve found a pupil, a general’s daughter．She is a sweet girl．I’m to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson．”But Joe was not glad．“But how about me?” he said．” Do you think I’m going to watch you work while I play with my art? No, I want to earn some money too．”“Joe, you are silly,” said Delia．“You must keep at your studies．We can live quite happily on $15 a week．”“Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures,” said Joe．Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening．A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired．“Clementina sometimes gets o n my nerves．I’m afraid she doesn’t practice enough．But the general is the best old man! I wish you could know him, Joe．”And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket．“I’ve sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria,” he said, “and he has ordered another．”“I’m so glad,” said Delia．“Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before．We’ll have a good supper tonight．”Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table．In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage．“What’s the matter with your hand?” said Joe．Delia laughed and said:“Oh, a funny thing happened! Clemantina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand．She was very sorry for it．And so was the old general．But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?”“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?”“Five o’clock, I think．The iron-I mean the soup-was ready about five, Why?”“Delia, come and sit here,” said Joe．He drew her to the couch and sat beside her．“What do you do every day, Delia?

benefits for the brain,in rats at least."This is an animal study,but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important一not just for physical development,but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing,"says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto,Canada."In humans,it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's symptoms（阿兹海默氏症）,possibly to the point of preventing them."Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups,and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box,they froze with fear.Two weeks later,the team tested the rats in three situations: exactly the same box in the same room,the same box with the room arranged differently,and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations,suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young,at least for rats,has influence on brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older,"says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston,who has found that,in humans,exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.32.The study shows

A“How do you account for your remarkable achievements in life?”Que en Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller. “How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf,you were able to achieve so much?”Ms.Keller's answer is a tribute（致敬）to her kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have re mained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar,Annie Sullivan was no stranger to hardship.She was almost sightless herself and was,at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly “insane”by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of amental institution.Occasionally,Annie would violently attack anyone who came near.Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope,however,and she made it her work to show love to the child.Every day she visited Annie,and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.She believed Annie could recover,if only she were shown love. Eventually,doctors noticed the change in the girl.Where they once witnessed anger and hate,they naw noted a gentleness and love.They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve.Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she,herself,was helped by the kind nurse.It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller.She loved her,disciplined（约束）her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until theflickering candle that was her life became a beacon（灯塔）of light to the world.Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life;but in was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse,the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.21.What does the underlined part “account for”probably mean?A.showB.proveC.explainD.present . .22.What do we know from the Third paragraph?A.Sullivan had very normal behavior.B.Sullivan was ignored by everyone.C.Sullivan was kept away from her parents.D.Sullivan was believed lo have a mental problem.23.What would be the best title for the next?A.The Power of LoveB.Making a DifferenceC.A Good TeacherD.Remarkable AchievementsBEvents at Brown12:00 PM—1:00 PM,March 1,2017"I had no ideal"—Export Control Brown Bag(4-part series)Horace Mann House,Room 103,47-49 George StreetBrown's Office of Research Integrity (ORI) is hosting a 4-part Brown Bag series on “Export Controls at the University”.Export Controls are federal government laws and regulations.The series will explore when research activities fall under Export Control laws,why “fundamental research”is so important,and why traveling to sanctioned（被制裁的）or embargoed（被禁运的）countries,such as Iran or Cuba,still presents a lot of challenges.The first session,“I had noidea!”,will explore why export controls cannot be ignored at a university campus.The sessions are open to the entire Brown community.Booking in advance is required: juliane_blyth@4:00 PM—5:00 PM,March 1,2017JCB Weekly Afternoon TalkJohn Carter Brown Library,Reading Room,94 George StreetInformal weekly afternoon presentation in the MacMillan Reading Room at the John Carter Brown Library (JCB).Fellows in Residence will give a talk on their current research project.Q & A session follows,along with a display of relevant items from our collection.All are invited to attend this free,weekly event.6:30 PM—7:30 PM,March 1,2017Brow Amateur Radio Club Meeting Sayles Hall.Room 305,79-81 Waterman Street The weekly meeting of the Brown Amateur Radio Club.All are welcome to attend and learn more about radio and join the club—no licenserequired!8:00 PM-9:00 PM,March 1,2017 Athletes in Action Prime Time Gathering Pembroke Field House,449-451 Brook Street Join your fellow Brown University athletes to learn more about faith,sport,and life.Through guest speakers, team building activities,and small group discussions,we explore the intersection（交集）of the spiritual and the physical in order to maximize our potential.We meet every Thursday 8-9 pm in Pembroke Field House.There are new athletes that attend every week,and most likely you'll know a number of them already since there are many different teams represented.Hope to see you there!21.Which event can be beneficial to those who do international research?A.“I had no idea!”—Export Control Brown BagB.JCB Weekly Afternoon TalkC.Brown Amateur Radio Club MeetingD.Athletes in Action Prime Time Gathering25.What will those who attend the JCB Weekly Afternoon Talk do?A.Meet at Sayles Hall.B.Charge entrance fees.C.Share their research.D.Collect relevant items.26.What can you do in the Athletes in Action Prime Time Gathering?A.Play basketball with new athletes.B.Discuss your potential.C.Play games to develop teamwork.D.Watch new athletes play games.27.Where would you be most likely to find the text?A.In a travel guidance.B.On a university website.C.In an academic magazine.D.In a local newspaper.CIt’s good to make mistakes,and here is why. First of all,mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things.It’s always good to try newthings because when we are trying new things,we are growing.If we never try anything new,how can we improve?The simple answer is,“We can’t”.Another good thing about mistakes is that when we are making them,we are learning.Consider this—Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb.When asked how it felt to fail that many times,he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.When we make a mistake,we are much closer to success.Because every time we make a mistake,we eliminate one of the things that keeps us from success.But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead,when we try something new,we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way we want it to,we will be in a position to try again.We all have limitedresources—in the form of time and money—so we shouldn’t blow them all on one approach to a problem.It’s best that we realize it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn,make corrections, and try again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.There is an old saying that goes,“If you’re not making mistakes,you’re not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes.28.Which can be used to replace the underlined word "eliminate" in Paragraph 4?A.make up forB.get rid ofC.acceptD.expect29.What do we know from the fifth paragraph?A.We should ignore the possible consequences.B.We should accept the outcome willingly.C.We should make some limits for our next try.D.We should avoid making the same mistakes.30.What is the text mainly about?A.Dealing with mistakes.B.Making mistakes.C.Making progress.D.Benefiting from mistakes.31.What may the writer suggest we say to ourselves when making a mistake?A.Never mind,I tried my beat.B.Great!Now I have learned something.C.This is a waste of time.D.Look at this mess.I should just give up.DPollution’s serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years.Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.As we know,the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.So green buildings are in great need. The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity（生物多样性）,improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams andthe protection of natural resources.Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality,improving the health of people who live there.The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition,recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings,reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize （最小化）human effect on the surrounding environment.For example,placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes（微风）and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses.More energy and expense areneeded for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build small.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants,which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low,prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection,recycling and waste reduction.In addition,renewable energy sources such as solar power,waterpower and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.32.What can we know about green building?A.Producing no waste.B.Only using clean energy.C.Being made of new materials.D.Environmental friendly.33.What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?rge.B.Small.C.Green.D.Low.34.What is the purpose of using green roofs?A.To fit the environment.B.To keep warm.C.To collect nature water.D.To lower costs.35.What is the text mainly about?A.Promoting energy efficiency.B.Environmental benefits.C.Building green.D.Ecosystems and biodiversity.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property（财产）damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check email, say — the car’s maker i s responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability（法律责任）issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people expect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know —no driver.”Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation.Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford University, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.8. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.B. A case where passing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A place where cars often break down.9. The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to ______.A. stop people from breaking traffic rulesB. prevent serious property damageC. protect drivers of all ages and racesD. help promote fully automatic driving prevent serious property damage10. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should involve no human responsibility.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D. It should be the main concern of law makers.11. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in ______.A. SingaporeB. the USC. the UKD. GermanyDBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored（监控）in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative （消极的）, but that didn’t ne cessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things？To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: th ousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science article s. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused（激发）one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”12.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to？A. Daily conversations.B. Research papersC. Private e-mailsD. News reports13.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer？A. They’re socially inactiveB. They’re inconsiderate of othersC. They’re good at telling stories.D. They’re careful with their words.14.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research？A. Sports newsB. Personal accountsC. Science articlesD.

The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to return home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brightest in the whole lunar month. What we love most is the time we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, we sit together and eat moon cakes and fruit, sharing our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a wider range of choices such as travelling and visiting our relatives or friends.。
