So it's the potential for the future, and we're trying to understand what the future destiny of this galaxy and many other galaxies would be.”McNamara says that supermassive black holes may change how galaxies form and change over time. “The energy released by these giant black holes is very 25. ( ) to these atmospheres, which is the stuff out of which future stars will form.”And what that means, he says, is that these huge black holes can affect the rate at which a galaxy grows.SummaryListen to the passage and complete the table using no more than three words for each blank according to what you hear.

Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.A computer with the power of a human brain is a long way off, but this week researchers are 46. re( ) that they've simulated a cat's cerebral cortex, the thinking part of the brain, using a massive supercomputer. The computer has 147,456 processors and 144 terabytes of main memory―100,000 times as 47. ( ) as your computer has.The simulation, which runs 100 times slower than an actual cat's brain, is more about watching how thoughts are 48. ( )(form) in the brain and how the roughly one billion neurons and 10 trillion synapses in a cat's brain work together.The researchers created a programme that told the supercomputer to behave in the way that a brain is 49. ( )(believe) to behave. The computer was shown images of corporate logos and scientists watched as 50. dif( ) parts of the simulated brain worked together to figure out what the image was.Dharmendra Modha, manager of cognitive computing for IBM Research and senior author of the paper, called it a“truly unprecedented scale of simulation”. Researchers at Stanford University and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory were also part of the project. Modha says the research could lead 51. ( ) computers that rely less on structured data, such as 2 plus 1 equals 4, and can handle ambiguity better, like 52. ide( ) the corporate logo even if the image is blurry. Such computers could also incorporate senses such as sight, touch and 53. ( )(hear) into the decisions they make.One reason that development would be 54. ( )(signify) to IBM is that the company is now selling smarted planet services that use digital sensors to monitor things like weather and 55. ( ) and feed that the data into computers that are asked to various things with the information, like predicting a tsunami or detecting a freeway way accident. Other companies could use cognitive computing as well to make better sense of large volumes of information.Part IV Reading Comprehension (30 marks)There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Palace Museum is approached through the Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tian'an men). Because of its centrality as well as restricted access, the palace was called The Forbidden City. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who, upon usurping the throne, determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty was overthrown by the republican revolutionaries.56. ( )57. ( ) Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1,110,000 square meters. Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate: the Meridian Gate (Wu men) on the south, the Gate of Divine Prowess (Shenwu men) on the north, theEastern and Western Prosperity Gates (Donghua men and Xihua men). Once inside, visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis. The buildings' glowing yellow roofslevitating above vermilion walls is a magnificent sight. The painted ridges and carved beams all contribute to the sumptuous effect.Known as the Outer Court, the southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls –Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony (Zhonghedian), and Hall of Preserving Harmony (Baohedian).58. ( ) Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and administrative activities.59. ( ) These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy, which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor. No ordinary mortal would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximity to these buildings.60. ( ) The collection, displayed in gallery halls throughout the complex, is becoming increasingly more accessible with digital technologies. The Museum's website, established in 2001, is dedicated to presentinga “Digital Palace Museum”by which the wealth of cultural heritage contained in the Forbidden City may be effectively spread worldwide.Questions 56—60Choose from the sentences A ―G the one which best fits each gap of 56 ―60. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. It was here in the Ourter Court that the emperor held court and conducted grand audiences.B. During nearly six hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived and ruled from this palace.C. In total, the buildings of the two courts account for an area of some 163,000 square meters.D. The Palace Museum's range of publications has created further interest in domains such as the Forbidden City's history, architecture, and vast cultural holdings.E. The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre-high walls and a 52-metre-wide moat.F. Although the Forbidden City used to be an impenetrable fortress, the imperial palace is now a public museum.G. The Museum's administration launched a policy of comprehensive restoration.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.Like people, each country has unique characteristics. Many countries are known by the products they produce. These products are anything from foods and minerals to plants and buildings. Here are whata few countries are known for.Sri Lanka is well known for its Ceylon tea. The country exports more black tea than any other nation. Ceylon was the country's name when it was a British colony. In the 19th century, Sri Lanka was famous for its coffee. But most of its coffee plantations were destroyed by insects in the 1870s. It was during this time Britain started the tea plantations.When people think of Bulgaria, they often say “Rosova Dolina,”which means “the valley of roses.”During the rule of the turkish Empire, the Bulgarian rose became widely popular. Bulgaria produces 80 percent of the world's roses. Bulgaria also produces rose oil and rose perfume. The country even has rose juice. In fact, people long ago believed that the Greek gods gained immortality by drinking elixir made with roses. To make one 500-milliter bottle of rose juice, 50 roses are needed.Ghana's cacao beans were used to make drinks for the rich during ancient times in Central America. Later,a special kind of cacao was brought to Ghana from Brazil in 1824. Known as the porastero cacao, it made up 80-90 percent of all cacao produced. The cacao is flat and dark purple. It has a bitter and sour taste. Ghana's chocolate has also gained international acclaim.It is difficult to say where cheese first came from. What we do know is that the Swiss made cheese long before Jesus was born. Cheese then was used as currency in Switzerland and represented social status and wealth. In the fourth century, cheese was internationally introduced and quickly became popular. There is an unusual story about how fondue came about. Long ago, the Swissliving on the mountains were confined to their homes because ofa large snowstorm. Cheese, wine and bread were the last food they had left. They melted the cheese with wine and ate the bread with it.Farmlands are plentiful in Argentina, so the country can grow many kinds of crops. The crops are used to feed its numerous livestock. The invention of refrigerator ships has made exporting of meats safer and easier. Argentina jumped at the opportunity to increase meat exports. Without refrigerator ships, the meat could get contaminated while travelling long distances.Questions 61—65Answer the following questions according to the passage.61. What was Sri Lanka well known for in 1800s?62. Why do people call Bulgaria “the valley of roses”?63. What does cacao look like?64. When was cheese well known to the world?65. What is Argentina famous for according to the passage?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.There is a saying in France that states, “The government could fall, the Louvre could be broken into, or aliens could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice.”The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world. The race, which is held in July every year, consists of twenty one -day stages, plus several rest days.The course follows a clockwise route around France, and often neighboring countries, including Luxembourg, Belgium, and Italy. The winner is the rider who completes all twenty stages of the race in the shortest overall time.The Tour de France first started on July 1, 1903, when sixty cyclists left from in front of The Alarm Clock Cafe, just outside of Paris, and rode 467 kilometers to Lyon. The first race consisted of six legs, each of which was about 400 kilometers long. At that time there were no rest days—the winner was the rider who finished the race in the shortest total time. The winner of the first Tour de France, Maurice Garin, the most popular cyclist in France at that time, received 2,000 francs (about $350). It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race, three hours faster than the runner-up. Over the weeks during which the race was run, the idea of the Tour de France slowly caught on with the people of France. The race has been held every year since that time, except during the years of World Wars I and II.The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete. Above all, the highest honor is the “yellow jersey”. Henri Desgranges, the founder of the race, introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each day of the Tour de France. Each day, the officials who keep track of all of the rider's times compare each rider's total time up to that point. The racer with the lowest overall time wears the yellow jersey during the following day's race. Other honors include the“green jersey”, which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over shortdistances, and the “polka dot jersey”,a white jersey with red dots, for the best rider in the mountains along the route.Over the years of the race, the competitors have gained a reputation for good sportsmanship. For example, ifa lead rider falls off his bike, it is common for the following riders to slow down to allow the fallen rider to catch up. Some watchers are surprised by this, but as German rider Jan Ullrich, who came in runner-up in 2002 after waiting for winner Lance Armstrong, says, Of course I would wait. If I would have won this race by taking advantage of someone's bad luck, then the race was not worth winning.Questions 66—70Complete the summary below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.The Tour de France is the most famous 66. ( ) race in the world. The race follows a 67. ( ) route around France, and some parts of the race may go into 68. ( ) countries like Belgium and Italy. The race 69.

Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.71. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only the head visible. It was not until the 1800s that archaeologists began clearing the sand from the statue and began researching the long history of the Sphinx. At last, in the 1920, all of the sand was finally cleared away and restoration work, which continues to this day, was begun.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following paragraph into English. Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.72. 我们采用绿色基因技术，目的在于使作物育种更有效，更环保。

2024年全国大学生英语竞赛c类作文答案

2024年全国大学生英语竞赛c类作文答案2024 National College English Competition Class C Essay AnswerPart One - IntroductionThe National College English Competition is held annually to test students' proficiency in the English language. In 2024, thousands of students from universities across the country participated in the competition to showcase their language skills and knowledge. Class C of the competition focuses on writing skills, requiring students to compose a well-structured and coherent essay on a given topic within a limited time frame.Part Two - Essay AnswerTitle: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on SocietyArtificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various aspects of our society, revolutionizing industries, and reshaping our daily lives. While AI offers numerous benefits, it also raises concerns about ethical implications and potential job displacement. In this essay, I will discuss the impact of AI on society, covering both the positive and negative aspects.Firstly, AI has brought about significant advancements in technology and innovation. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI-powered systems have made our lives easier and more efficient. They can analyze vast amounts of data in a fraction of the time it would take a human, leading to breakthroughs in healthcare, finance, and other fields. Furthermore, AI has the potential to revolutionize education, providing personalized learning experiences for students and improving educational outcomes.However, the widespread adoption of AI also poses challenges to society. One major concern is the potential job displacement caused by automation. As AI and robots become more advanced, many traditional jobs may become obsolete, leading to unemployment and economic instability. Moreover, the use of AI in decision-making processes raises ethical dilemmas, as algorithms may perpetuate bias or discrimination unintentionally.To mitigate the negative impacts of AI, it is crucial for policymakers to implement regulations and ethical guidelines for the development and deployment of AI technologies. Additionally, investing in retraining programs for displacedworkers and promoting the ethical use of AI can help ensure a smooth transition to a more automated future.In conclusion, artificial intelligence has the potential to bring about tremendous benefits to society, but it also poses challenges that must be addressed. By fostering innovation, promoting ethical practices, and preparing for the workforce of the future, we can harness the power of AI to create a more inclusive and sustainable society.Part Three - ConclusionIn conclusion, the impact of artificial intelligence on society is multifaceted, with both positive and negative implications. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of AI technology, it is essential to consider the ethical, social, and economic implications of its widespread adoption. By fostering a responsible and sustainable approach to AI development, we can ensure that the benefits of this powerful technology are shared equitably among all members of society.。

But, in stead of being made supervisor , he was sacked—after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test .You might thi nk that anyone who an swers that he “ str on gly disagrees he is an over-achiever is ask ing for trouble , butMr Filer already thought he had proved himself more tha n capable .This year, nearly half of UK firms —46 percent —will use psychometric tests to select trainees , compared with just 17 percent in 2000 , according to a report for GTI , a publisher of graduate career guides .These tests, which rate can didates ' ability and gauge their pers on ality , have bee n used in the UK since the 1980s . But assorted studies have show n most people —graduates in particular —are wholly cyni cal about the idea of their pers on ality being “ measured.“ People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever , says Clive Fletcher , professor of occupational psychology at University of London .“ But all the evidenee indicates the tests do have some value .The first personality test as we know it , was developed by the American army in 1917 to filter out weak recruits .But it was not until the 1980s that the tests became popular in Britain . With a rising number of graduates going for a decreas ing n umber of jobs , orga ni zati ons bega n to see psychometric test ing as a cheap , reliable alter native to the expe nsive , time-c on sum ing in terview .But today the tests are beco ming alarm in gly sophisticated and are edg ing towards prob ing the “ dark side: pathology and pers on ality disorders .In creas in gly , tests are being used to try to detect promis ing you ng graduates who may , later in life , fly off the rails (go crazy) ；or to stop psychopaths (having mental disorder ) getting recruited .In the future , interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers ofpersonality . “ We are heading for the era of genetic screening ，” warns Carolyn Jones , of the Institute for Employment Rights I think these tests are very flawed .And there are other problems with the tests . For starters, it is possible to fake it ——even the test producers agree on this . But they have made it as hard as possible . For example , look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two stateme nts : “ New ideas come easily to me and "I find gen erat ing new con cepts difficult . How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing ?The main argume nt , however, is that the tests are in valid and cannot qua ntify ( put a n umerical value on ) someth ing as changeable as personality .The golden rule is then , that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection , but should always be followed by in terviews .71. Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is _____A. contemptuousB. favorableC. tolerant D . confounded72. Which of the followi ng is one of the reas ons why psychometric test ing wi ns an adva ntage over in terviews ?A. It does n't cost any money . B . It requires no equipme nt .C . It is time-sav ing .D . It can be done with in sec onds .73 . Which of the followi ng stateme nts is the author's idea ?A . Psychometric tests are defective .B . Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promis ing you ng graduates .C . Psychometric tests are in valid and cannot qua ntify someth ing cha ngeable as pers on ality .D . Psychometric tests are golden rules .74 . The test producers make the tests very complicated to _____ .A . avoid cheati ngB . improve gen etic scree ningC . find out the best ideasD . gen erate new con cepts75 . Which of the follow ing is not true accord ing to the passage ?A．The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits ．B．In the future ，interviewers could give a mouth swab to reveal interviewees ' symptoms ．C．There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests ．D．Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees ．Section B Short Answer Questions (30 points )Directions ：In this part there are 3 passages with 15 questions or incomplete statements ．Read the passages carefully ．Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words ( not exceeding 10 words )．Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet ．Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage ：The 8 Steps of Social Invention1．Get ready to play ．Like other types of creativity ，social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outside conventional boundaries ．Charlie Girsch ，a St．Paul，Minnesota-based creativity consultant ，suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events ．“If traffic is slow ，you'll be tem pted to say ，‘ Hmm ．Must be an accident up ahead ．' Instead ，try saying ，‘ Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway 'or‘I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on ．'You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways ．”Girsch's book ，Fanning the Creative Spirit ( Creativity Central ，1999)has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of your brain ．2．Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas ．Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood Imagine a Homeless Parliament ，a Homeless Circus ，homeless families forming an orchestra ，a homeless museum ．．．and on and on ．Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order ，as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises ，to“overcome e worthy-but-dull ideas ．” Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out ．3．Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth ．How about that Homeless Circus ？Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents ？A performance series about homelessness ？A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor ？Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive ，and thus more feasible ( and fundable )，than its worthy-but-dull cousins ．4．Look for in venations that solve more than one problem ．The Slow Food Movement ，born in Italy ，boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it “ feeds”our hunger for authentic tastes ，healthy eating ，and a more leisurely ，saner style of life ．5．Accentuate the positive ．“ A very common question that I get when I work with people in communities is ‘ Why doesn't anybody care about ourproblems ？'” notes M chael Patterson ，a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts ．“ What a worthless question ．‘ Why '？questions are for philosophers ．Ask‘ How '？an‘d What '？questions —they are a lot more practical ．” For instance ，Patterson asks，“ What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail ？”6．Give it a rest ．Walk away from your favorite idea for a while ，forget about it ，let it sleep ．With your conscious mind out of the way ，your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while ，and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough ．7．Practice“ yes and” in stead of “ yes but”．No matter how tempted you are to say “ Yes，but this will be hard because ，”o“r Yes，but a million other people are doing this ，”shift the conjunction to “ and”and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges ．“ Yes，and we could concentrate on immigrants ．”“ Yes ，and we can make it open to all ages ．” 8．Get your idea into the world ．This is the tough part ．You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas ．Or become an organizeryourself ．Paul Glove ，a New York social inventor ，coun-sels：“ If you have an idea you believe in ，write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it in Laundromats and bookstores ．If three people call you ，have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization ．If five people call ，meet with them and issue a press release ．” Presto，you're launched ．76．To generate far-fetched ideas helps to _____ ．77．Michael Patterson wants us to come up with “ How ”？and“ What ”？instead of “ Why ”？questions because he considers they are more practical than _____________ ．78．The purpose to practice “yes and” instead of “ yes but” is to make yourself more ____ ．79．According to the article ，when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea ，he should _______ ．80．One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but also ____ because the latter step is the nearest to reality ．Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage ：Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes ，which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come．But ，analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era ．Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin ，flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market outlets such as Cosco ，a wholesale buying club in the US ，best known for offering members bulk items and big discounts ．The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US ＄3，000or more ，yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production ．That increase ，combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology ，could push the price of plasma sets down byone-third next year ，according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group ，a US research firm ．But manufacturers are not just competing with each other ；they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies ，such as liquid crystal displays （LCD ）．The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts ，which offer moredetailed pictures and more lifelike colors than conventional analog TV signals ．To see the difference ，consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can ．This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40inches diagonal or larger ．At that size ，however ，traditional direct view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home ．Hence the interest in thin screens —models slender and light enough to hang on a wall ．The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan，South Korea and ，increasingly ，China．About 800 ，000 plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world ，analysts say ．That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs ，which was about 140 million sets last year ．But，industry experts said 2003would be a “ breakout year” or plasma because shipments should double ．Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities ．For example ，Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory —reaching 300 ，000to 400 ，000 plasma panels．And it plans to double it again in 2003 ，officials said ．As competition has heated up during the last four years ，prices have fallen more than 50 percent ．According to“ NPD Tec world ”，the average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US ＄12，700in January 1999 to US ＄6，100in October 2002 ．The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia ，and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes．LCD TVs carry a premium price —they can be 10 times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television —that knocks them out of most buyers ' budgets．But LCD panels are quickly taking over the market for computer monitors ，and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs ，analysts predicted ．Sharp Electronics ，for one ，is betting heavily on LCDs ．Its chairman ，Toshiaki Urushisako ，has predicted that Sharp will switch completely from conventional tube sets to LCD TVs in Japan by 2005 ．Flat-panel refers to wafer-thin (3 inches or less) TVs ，whereas flat-screen may actually describe traditional cathode-ray-tube sets( CRTs) whose glass front lacks the distorting curve that TVs have had for 50 years ．Be aware of two things ：One，flat-panel technology may not be high-definition TV ；for eventual HDTV reception ，some of these sets will require a separate HD tuner ．Two ，some flat-panel TVs are just the panel and lack speakers and sometimes a built-in tuner ．Price range ：US ＄700－2，000LCD vs plasmaIn general ，LCD technology is used for smaller screens because of the enormous number of transistors needed to turn the glasslike liquid crystals into color images ．The larger the display ，the more transistors ，the more chance of failed connections ．A plasma screen is found in TV sets larger than 20 inches ．Color is comparable to an LCD's ．LCDs do not deteriorate over time ，while a plasma display averages 30 ，000 hours(a traditional TV screen can go for 20 ，000 )，after which it fades over a period of。
