They fill out a wish list from the 50,000 titles on the company's Web site and receive the first few DVD's in the mail; when they mail each one back, the next one on the list is sent. The Netflix model has been exhaustively analyzed for its disruptive, new-economy（31）implications. What will it mean for video stores likeBlockbuster, which has, in fact, started a similar service? What will it mean for movie studios and theaters? What does it show about "long tail" businesses -- ones that combine many niche markets, like those for Dutch movies or classic musicals, into a (32)single large audience? But one other major implication has (33)barely been mentioned: what this and similar Internet-based businesses mean for that stalwart of the old economy, the United States Postal Service.Every day, some two million Netflix envelopes come and go as first-class mail. They are joined by millions of other shipments from （34）online pharmacies, eBay vendors, and other businesses that did not exist before the Internet.The（35）demise of "snail mail" in the age of instant electronic communication has been predicted at least as often as the coming of the paperless office. But the consumption of paper keeps （36）rising. It has roughly doubled since 1980. On average, an American household receives twice as many pieces of mail a day as it did in the 1970's.The harmful side of the Internet's impact is obvious but statistically less important than many would guess. People (37) naturally write fewer letters when they can send e-mail messages. To (38) leaf through a box of old paper correspondence is to know what has been _(39) lost in this shift: the pretty stamps, the varying look and feel of handwritten and typed correspondence, the tangible (40) object that was once in the sender's hands.V. Reading comprehensionSection APassage one（1）When I was a young girl living in Ireland, I was always pleased when it rained, because that meant I could go treasure hunting. What’s the connection between a wet day and a search forburied treasure? Well, it’s quite simple. Ireland, as some of you may already know, is the home of Leprechauns – little men who possess magic powers and, perhaps more interestingly, pots of gold.（2）Now, although Leprechauns are interesting characters, I have to admit that I was more intrigued by the stories of their treasure hoard. This, as all of Ireland knows, they hide at the end of the rainbow. Leprechauns can be fearsome folk but if you can discover the end of the rainbow, they have to unwillingly surrender their gold to you. So whenever it rained, I would look up in the sky and follow the curve of the rainbow to see where it ended. I never did unearth any treasure, but I did spend many happy, showery days dreaming of what I could do with the fortune if I found it.（3）As I got older, and started working, rainy days came to be just another nuisance and my childhood dreams of finding treasure faded. But for some people the dream of striking it lucky never fades, and for a fortunate few, the dream even comes true! Such is the case of Mel Fisher. His dream of finding treasure also began in childhood, while reading the great literature classics “Treasure Island” and “Moby Dick”. However, unlike myself, he chased his dream and in the end managed to become one of the most famous professional treasure hunters of all time, and for good reason. In 1985, he fished up the priceless cargo of the sunken Spanish ship Atocha, which netted him an incredible $400 million dollars!（4）After the ship sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida, its murky waters became a treasure trove of precious stones, gold bars and silver coins known as “pieces of eight”. The aptly-named Fisher, who ran a commercial salvaging operation, had been trying to locate the underwater treasure for over 16 years when he finally hit the jackpot! His dreams had come true but finding and keeping the treasure wasn’t all plain sailing. After battling with hostile conditions at sea, Fisher then had to battle in the courts. In fact, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find and the Federal government soon followed suit. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed todonate 20% of his yearly findings for public display, and so now there is a museum in Florida which displays hundreds of the objects which were salvaged from the Atocha.（5）This true story seems like a modern-day fairytale: a man pursues his dream through adversity and in the end, he triumphs over the difficulties - they all live happily ever after, right? Well, not exactly. Archaeologists object to the fact that with commercia l salvaging operations like Fisher’s, the objects are sold and dispersed and UNESCO are worried about protecting our underwater heritage from what it describes as “pillaging”.（6）The counter-argument is that in professional, well-run operations such as Fis her’s, each piece is accurately and minutely recorded and that it is this information which is more important than the actual object, and that such operations help increase our wealth of archaeological knowledge. Indeed, as in Fisher’s case, they make hist ory more accessible to people through museum donations and information on web sites.（7）The distinction of whether these treasure hunters are salvaging or pillaging our underwater heritage may not be clear, but what is clear is that treasure hunting is not just innocent child’s play anymore but profitable big business. I have learnt that the end of the rainbow is beyond my reach, but in consolation, with just a click of the mouse, I too can have a share in the riches that the Atocha has revealed. As Friedrich Nietzsche so wisely said: “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.”41. In Para.4, the phrase “hit the jackpot” means ______according to the text.A. discovered the jackpot.B. found the treasureC. broke one of the objectsD. ran a salvaging operation42. It can be concluded from Paras. 5 and 6 that _________.A. people hold entirely different views on the issueB. UNESCO’s view is different from archaeologists’C. all salvaging operations should be prohibitedD. attention should be paid to the find’s educational value43. How did the author feel about the treasure from the Atocha (Para. 7)?A. She was unconcerned about where the treasure came fromB. She was sad that she was unable to discover and salvage treasure.C. She was angry that treasure hunters were pillaging heritage.D. She was glad that people can have a chance to see the treasure.Passage two（1）PAUL was dissatisfied with himself and with everything. The deepest of his love belonged to his mother. When he felt he had hurt her, or wounded his love for her, he could not bear it. Now it was spring, and there was battle between him and Miriam. This year he had a good deal against her. She was vaguely aware of it. The old feeling that she was to be a sacrifice to this love, which she had had when she prayed, was mingled in all her emotions. She did not at the bottom believe she ever would have him. She did not believe in herself primarily: doubted whether she could ever be what he would demand of her. Certainly she never saw herself living happily through a lifetime with him. She saw tragedy, sorrow, and sacrifice ahead. And in sacrifice she was proud, in renunciation she was strong, for she did not trust herself to support everyday life. She was prepared for the big things and the deep things, like tragedy. It was the sufficiency of the small day-life she could not trust.（2）The Easter holidays began happily. Paul was his own frank self. Yet she felt it would go wrong.On the Sunday afternoon she stood at her bedroom window, looking across at the oak-trees of the wood, in whose branches a twilight was tangled, below the bright sky of the afternoon. Grey-green rosettes of honeysuckle leaves hung before the window, some already, she fancied, showing bud. It was spring, which she loved and dreaded.（3）Hearing the clack of the gate she stood in suspense. It was a bright grey day. Paul came into the yard with his bicycle, which glittered as he walked. Usually he rang his bell and laughed towards the house. To-day he walked with shut lips and cold, cruel bearing, that had something of a slouch and a sneer in it. She knew him well by now, and could tell from that keen-looking, aloof young body of his what was happening inside him. There was a cold correctness in the way he put his bicycle in its place, that made her heart sink.（4）She came downstairs nervously. She was wearing a new net blouse that she thought became her. It had a high collar with a tiny ruff, making her, she thought, look wonderfully a woman, and dignified. At twenty she was full-breasted and luxuriously formed. Her face was still like a soft rich mask, unchangeable. But her eyes, once lifted, were wonderful. She was afraid of him. He would notice her new blouse.（5）He, being in a hard, ironical mood, was entertaining the family to a description of a service given in the Primitive Methodist Chapel. He sat at the head of the table, his mobile face, with the eyes that could be so beautiful, shining with tenderness or dancing with laughter, now taking on one expression and then another, in imitation of various people he was mocking. His mockery always hurt her; it was too near the reality. He was too clever and cruel. She felt that when his eyes were like this, hard with mocking hate, he would spare neither himself nor anybody else. But Mrs. Leivers was wiping her eyes with laughter, and Mr. Leivers, just awake from his Sunday nap, was rubbing his head in amusement. The three brothers sat with ruffled, sleepy appearance in their shirt-sleeves, giving a guffaw from time to time. The whole family loved a "take-off" more thananything.44. It can be learned from the beginning that Mariam’s attitude toward love between her and Paul is ________.A. indifferentB. desperateC. pessimisticD. ambiguous45. The narration in Para. 3 tells us that Miriam had all the following feelings except _______.A. delightB. expectationC. uncertaintyD. forebearing46. Which of the following statements is correct about the family’s response to Paul’s mockery?A. Only the parents found it entertaining.B. Every member except Marriam was amusedC. The brothers found it hard to appreciate.D. Mariam also thought it was amusingPassage three（1）I’ve written this article and you’re reading it. So we are members of the same club. We’re both literate – we can read and write. And we both probably feel that literacy is essential to our lives. But millions of people all over the world are illiterate. Even in industrialised western countries, such as the UK and the USA, approximately 20% of the population have 'low literacy levels'. But what exactly does that mean?（2）My parents both left school at 14. They could read and write, but except for a quick look at the daily newspaper, reading and writing didn't play a big part in their lives. There were very few books in the house. My mother was amazed because the woman who lived next door always wrote a list of what she needed before she went to the supermarket. Why couldn't she remember? We laughed about that for weeks. Our family didn't write lists! And when I was only 14 years old my father gave me an important letter that he'd written to the bank and asked me to check it for grammar and spelling mistakes. And there were quite a lot. He never usually wrote letters orpostcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasn't comfortable or confident. Does that mean that my father had a 'low level of literacy'? I don't think so.（3）There are lots of different definitions of literacy. Some experts define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form, – anything that you need to do in everyday life –then you are 'functionally literate'.（4）Other people say that you are illiterate if you think that you are illiterate. In other words, if you feel that you can't read or write as well as you would like to.（5）If you live in a society where most people are literate then you will feel ashamed or embarrassed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. The father of a friend of mine finally admitted to his family that he couldn't read when he was 45 years old. He bought the newspaper every day and pretended to read it - and believe it or not, his family had no idea.（6）We often forget that writing is a recent invention. Many years ago, the word 'literate' meant being able to communicate well in speaking, in other words what we now call 'articulate'. Story telling was an important activity in the past and still is today in some societies. Reading was often a co-operative activity – someone would read aloud to a group, often from a religious text such as the Koran or the Bible.（7）Only a hundred years ago, in the United States, you were considered to be literate if you could sign your name to a piece of paper. It was an important skill. You were not allowed to vote if you couldn't sign the voting register, so literacy was connected with political rights, and many people were excluded from the democratic process.（8）Nowadays we see reading and writing as being connected, but that wasn't so in the past. Many people could read, but not write. Writing was a skilled profession. If you needed something written then you paid an expert to write it for you.（9）And of course, rich and important people have always employed people to write things for them. Important company bosses dictated letters to their secretaries or personal assistants. And now with new computer software you can dictate directly to your computer.（10）Being illiterate can have a big effect on people's lives. For example, a study in the UK showed that people who write and spell badly are seen as careless, immature and unreliable, and often unintelligent. So it is more difficult for them to find jobs, even when reading and writing are not necessary for the work.（11）World-wide statistics show that literacy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But don't forget that an illiterate person, or someone with a low level of literacy, isn't necessarily stupid or ignorant – and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isn't only found in writing.47. Why does the author give two examples in Para 2?A. To show that literacy is interpreted in different ways.B. To show that Father was more literate than Mother.C. To indicate how important reading and writing are.D. To compare the level of literacy between neighbours.48. According to the author, the following are some of the defining features of literacy EXCETT________.A. psyhchologicalB. functionalC. socialD. independent49. Which of the following statements about reading and writing is CORRECT?A. Reading and writing have always been regarded as equally difficult.B. People had to read and write well in order to be allowed to vote.C. Reading often requires more immediate interaction than writing.D. Reading and writing have always been viewed as being connected.50. What do the last two paragraphs mainly focus on ?A. Effects of illiteracy and employment problems.B. Effects of illiteracy and associated problems.C. Effects of illiteracy on one’s personality development.D. Effects of illiteracy on women’s career development.Section B. Short answer questions. (Answer each question with no more than ten words)Passage one.51. what does This in Para. 2 refer to?It refers to the treasure hoard of Leprechauns.52. Why did Fisher have to battle in the courts after he found the treasure (Para. 4)?Because he was sued over ownership of the treasure.Passage two.53.Why did Mariam wear a new net blouse on Sunday afternoon?Because she wanted to attract Paul’s attention.54. What is the meaning of the sentence “…he would spare neither himself nor anybody else” in Para. 5?Everyone, including himself, would become the targets of his mockery.Passage three.55. Explain the meaning of the last sentence of Para. 11 according to the context.Illiterate people may also have knowledge and wisdom.。

You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.The Blessing and Curse of the People Who Never ForgetA handful of people can recall almost every day of their lives in enormous detail一and after years of research,neuroscientists are finally beginning to understand how they do it.A)For most of us,memory is a mess of blurred and faded pictures of our lives.As much as we would like to cling on to our past,even the saddest moments can be washed away with time.B)Ask Nima Veiseh what he was doing for any day in the past15years,however,and he will give you the details of the weather,what he was wearing,or even what side of the train he was sitting on his journey to work. "My memory is like a library of video tapes,walk-throughs of every day of my life from waking to sleeping,"he explains.C)Veiseh can even put a date on when those tapes started recording:15December2000,when he met his first girlfriend at his best friend's16th birthday party.He had always had a good memory,but the thrill of young love seems to have shifted a gear in his mind:from now on,he would start recording his whole life in detail."I could tell you everything about every day after that."D)Needless to say,people like Veiseh are of great interest to neuroscientists（神经科学专家）hoping to understand the way the brain records our lives.A couple of recent papers have finally opened a window on these people's extraordinary minds.And such research might even suggest ways for us all to relive our past with greater clarity.E)'Highly superior autobiographical memory'(or HSAM for short),first came to light in the early2000s, with a young woman named Jill Price.Emailing the neuroscientist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh one day, she claimed that she could recall every day of her life since the age of12.Could he help explain her experiences?F)McGaugh invited her to his lab,and began to test her:he would give her a date and ask her to tell him about the world events on that day.True to her word,she was correct almost every time.G)It didn't take long for magazines and documentary film-makers to come to understand her"total recall", and thanks to the subsequent media interest,a few dozen other subjects(including Veiseh)have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California,Irvine.H)Interestingly,their memories are highly self-centred:although they can remember"autobiographical"life events in extraordinary detail,they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information,such as random（任意选取的）lists of words.Nor are they necessarily better at remembering a round of drinks,say.And although their memories are vast,they are still likely to suffer from"false memories".Clearly,there is no such thing as a"perfect"memory—their extraordinary minds are still using the same flawed tools that the rest of us rely on.The question is,how?I)Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently studied around20people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly high on two measures:fantasy proneness(倾向）and absorption.Fantasy proneness could be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream,whereas absorption is the tendency to allow your mind to become fully absorbed in an activity—to pay complete attention to the sensations(感受）and the experiences."I'm extremely sensitive to sounds,smells and visual detail,"explains Nicole Donohue,who has taken part in many of these studies."I definitely feel things more strongly than the average person."J)The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations for recollection,says Patihis,and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months.Each time this initial memory trace is"replayed",it becomes even stronger.In some ways,you probably go through that process after a big event like your wedding day—but the difference is that thanks to their other psychological tendencies,the HSAM subjects are doing it day in,day out,for the whole of their lives.K)Not everyone with a tendency to fantasise will develop HSAM,though,so Patihis suggests that something must have caused them to think so much about their past."Maybe some experience in their childhood meant that they became obsessed(着迷）with calendars and what happened to them,"says Patihis.L)The people with HSAM I've interviewed would certainly agree that it can be a mixed blessing.On the plus side,it allows you to relive the most transformative and enriching experiences.Veiseh,for instance,travelled a lot in his youth.In his spare time,he visited the local art galleries,and the paintings are now lodged deep in his autobiographical memories.M)"Imagine being able to remember every painting,on every wall,in every gallery space,between nearly40 countries,"he says."That's a big education in art by itself."With this comprehensive knowledge of the history of art,he has since become a professional painter.N)Donohue,now a history teacher,agrees that it helped during certain parts of her education:"I can definitely remember what I learned on certain days at school.I could imagine what the teacher was saying or what it looked like in the book."O)Not everyone with HSAM has experienced these benefits，however.Viewing the past in high definition can make it very difficult to get over pain and regret."It can be very hard to forget embarrassing moments,"says Donohue."You feel the same emotions—it is just as raw,just as fresh...You can't turn off that stream of memories, no matter how hard you try."Veiseh agrees:"It is like having these open wounds—they are just a part of you,"he says.P)This means they often have to make a special effort to lay the past to rest.Bill,for instance,often gets painful"flashbacks",in which unwanted memories intrude into his consciousness,but overall he has chosen to see it as the best way of avoiding repeating the same mistakes."Some people are absorbed in the past but not open to new memories,but that's not the case for me.I look forward to each day and experiencing something new."36.People with HSAM have the same memory as ordinary people when it comes to impersonal information.37.Fantasy proneness will not necessarily cause people to develop HSAM.38.Veiseh began to remember the details of his everyday experiences after he met his first young love.39.Many more people with HSAM started to contact researchers due to the mass media.40.People with HSAM often have to make efforts to avoid focusing on the past.41.Most people do not have clear memories of past events.42.HSAM can be both a curse and a blessing.43.A young woman sought explanation from a brain scientist when she noticed her unusual memory.44.Some people with HSAM find it very hard to get rid of unpleasant memories.45.A recent study of people with HSAM reveals that they are liable to fantasy and full absorption in anactivity.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.The phrase almost completes itself:midlife crisis.It's the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing,their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There's only one problem with the cliche（套话）.It isn't true."In fact,there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,"Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book,Life Reimagined.The bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause,or a shifting of gears in the40s or50s,but this shift"can be exciting,rather than terrifying."Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth.They break routines, because"autopilot is death."They choose purpose over happiness—having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease.They give priority to relationships,as careers often recede（逐渐淡化）.Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy.Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making.Your identity has been formed;you've built up your resources;and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way.At middle age,he wrote,"the sowing is behind;now is the time to reap.The run has been taken;now is the time to leap.Preparation has been made;now is the time for the venture of the work itself."The middle-aged person,Barth continued,can see death in the distance,but moves with a"measured haste" to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today.People are healthy and energetic longer.We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age68,69and74.A longer lifespan is changing the narrative structure of life itself.What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.46.What does the author think of the phrase"midlife crisis"?A)It has led to a lot of debate.C)It is no longer fashionable.B)It is widely acknowledged.D)It misrepresents real life.47.How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?A)It may be the beginning of a crisis.C)It can be terrifying for the unprepared.B)It can be a new phase of one's life.D)It may see old-age diseases approaching.48.How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A)It can be quite rosy.C)It undergoes radical transformation.B)It can be burdensome.D)It makes for the best part of one's life.49.According to Karl Barth,midlife is the time.A)to relax C)to harvestB)to mature D)to reflect50.What does the author say about midlife today?A)It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B)It is likely to change the narrative of one's life.C)It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D)It is likely to be a critical turning point in one's life.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.In spring,chickens start laying again,bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's end.So it's no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple,like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads.Others elevate the egg into a fancy art,like the heavily jewel-covered"eggs"that were favored by the Russians starting in the19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine.For centuries,Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs.Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age:Life is precious,and delicate.Eggs are,too."There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,"says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago,she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters."I've broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very,very end. "But there's an appeal in that vulnerability."There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this,that I kind of like,knowing that it could all fall apart at any second"Chast's designs,such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat,reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears.The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil."There's an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made,evil will not prevail in the world,"says Joan Brander,a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over60years,having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition,dating back to300B.C.,was later incorporated into the Christian church.The old symbols, however,still endure.A decorated egg with a bird on it,given to a young married couple,is a wish for children.A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.51.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A)It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B)It is their major source of protein in winter.C)It can easily be made into a work of art.D)It can bring wealth and honor to them.52.What do we learn about the decorated"eggs"in Russia?A)They are shaped like jewel cases.B)They are cherished by the rich.C)They are heavily painted in red.D)They are favored as a form of art.53.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A)Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B)Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C)Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D)Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.54.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A)She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.B)She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.C)She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.D)She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.55.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?A)It originated in the eastern part of Europe.B)It has a history of over two thousand years.C)It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.D)It is especially favored as a church decoration.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet2.黄河是亚洲第三、世界第六长的河流。
