Arms crossed, he stares up wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the fireworks in the sky.Despite the absence of any information about the child other than his age 9, the image Lucas Landau shot for Reuters news agency has sparked tens of thousands of shares and comments on social media, newspaper articles, blog posts and a national debate about ra ce, class and inequality. To some, it’s just a photo of a young black boy attracted by the spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks. People need to stopthinking that all black boys, without shirts on, are abandoned, sad, alone and unhappy. To others, the image is emblematic of Brazil’s acute inequality.About half of Brazil’s population of 200 million identify as mixed-race/black, second only to Nigeria. But black and mixed-raced Brazilians are underrepresented in academia, politics and leadership roles. Less than 10 percent of Brazil's Congress is black, and just 18 percent of leadership roles are held by Afro-Brazilians.For Luiz Augusto Campos, a sociologist at Rio State University, thewide-ranging interpretations of the photo, as well as the explosive debate it generated, represents a changing tide for Afro-Brazilians. “The fact that it’s become so problematic is a reflection of a complex transition in terms of race in Brazil,” he said, adding that 20 or 30 years ago, the photo would have stirred few or no concerns about whether it strengthened negative stereotypes(刻板印象).“These changes are still ly small in Brazil, but they have the long-term objective of dissociating the ideas of blackness and poverty,” Campos said.24. What can we learn from the passage?A. The boy in the photo has been abandoned and needs urgent help.B. Afro-Brazilians are mistreated because they are in the minority.C. The debate the image generates worsens the acute inequality.D. The boy’s age is mentioned in the news.25. Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “emblematic”?A. Problematic.B. Representative.C.Objective. D. Significant.26. Which of the following statements may Campos agree with?A. The debate reflects a positive tendency in Brazil.B. The debate could have been more fierce 20 or 30 years ago.C. The Afro-Brazilians should fight for their rights.D. The Afro-Brazilians have successfully raised their social status.27. What problem does the photo reflect according to this passage?A. The racial inequality in Brazil.B. The social status of the Afro-Brazilians.C. The stereotype to associate blackness with poverty in Brazil.D. The Afro-Brazilians’ fighting for rights.CIf you have ever tried a new sport or tried learning a musical instrument（乐器）, you may well know that the hardest part is getting started. Once you have learned the skills, they return quit easily, even if they are not used for long periods of time. Most experts put this down to "muscle（肌肉）memory," which means the brain remembers the action and can remember it when needed. There is another thing that may be as important in recalling formerly learned sport skills---the mistakes made while learning the task.The study led by Reza Shadmehr included asking volunteers to play a simple video game: hitting a red target dot（目标点）with a slightly smaller blue dot, similar to playing virtual dart（虚拟飞镖）. What the gamers did not know was that as soon as they mastered the game, the researchers moved the blue dot slightly off-course, so forcing them to restart the learning process. Though the volunteers did make mistakes every time the game was changed, they got faster at mastering it.Reza believes that this has to do with the fact that in addition to performing the task to muscle memory, the brain is also correcting each wrong move and learning how to correct it. He compares it to having a coach that points out the mistakes and makes suggestions on how to improve.What surprised the scientists is that making mistakes not only trains the brain to do better at a certain task, but also helps it learn faster from mistakes, even when the mistakes are made while learning an entirely different task. The brain keeps a general record of mistakes and draws on them whenever a new sport skill is being learned, to make sure that mistakes are not made again. This helps make leaning much faster and probably explains why people, who master one sport or musical instrument, are able to pick up others more easily.Making mistakes is a good thing. So the next time you are practicing playing the piano, working on your tennis skill, or learning any other sport skill, don't get discouraged by the mistakes!28. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The brain.B. The action.C. A new sport.D. An instrument.29. The second paragraph is mainly about________.A. how Reza carried out the experimentB. when the gamers learned a game wellC. what games the volunteers were interested inD. why the researchers liked to play virtual games30. What surprised Reza most about the results?A. Mistakes will be repeated in learning.B. Mistakes add difficulty to learning.C. Mistakes make people learn faster.D. Mistakes speed up the actions in brain.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Mistakes help achieve success.B. Mistakes should be corrected in time.C. Muscle memory makes you succeed.D. Muscle memory shows past experience.DHold your smart phone, smile at the front camera, and click! You get a selfie. There is no doubt that this photo is yours. But if a monkey takes a selfie, does the camera owner have the right to decide how to use it?Recently, this question has caused a problem between Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization, and British wildlife photographer David J. Slater.In 2011, Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia when a macaque (猕猴) got hold of one of his cameras. “They were quite naughty, jumping all over my equipment,” Slater told The Telegraph, “and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button.” The result was hundreds of monkey selfies. The best of images was a female macaque grinning toothily into the lens.This week, the grinning monkey selfie returned to the news when Wikimedia refused Slater’s request to take the photos down from Wikimedia Commons, a website that is run by the organization and offers free images.According to Wikimedia, anyone who downloads the monkey selfie, or any of the millions of images on the site, can copy and use any works here freely as long as they follow what the author says. The question that arose here was whether Slater, who had not held the camera, set up the shot, of pressed the shutter (快门), could be considered the photographer of the monkey selfie. Wikimedia’s position on this was clear: as the work of a non-human animal, this photo has no human author who owns the copyright.Only authors of creative works, like a piece of writing or a song, own copyrights. In terms of photos, US copyright law says whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the image produced, which means that if tourists ask you to take a photo of them, and you happen to hit the shutter button at the exact moment that Justin Bieber, a Canadian singer, made faces behind them, you, as the photographer, would have the photo’s copyright and sell it. The tourists, who own the camera on which th e photo was taken and asked you to take the photo don’t get the right to use it without you allowing them to. All this has been complicated by the appearance of surveillance cameras (监控摄像头), smart phones, and large scale photography projects (批量摄影项目) for which assistants often press the shutter button to produce works whose copyrights belong to their boss.Slater seems to be thinking along these lines. He says that buying the cameras, spending thousands of pounds to transport himself to Indonesia, and allowing themonkeys to “steal” his cameras make him the author of the image, regardless of who pushed the button. “In law, if I have an assistant then I still own the copyright, he told the “Today” Show. “I believe in this case, the monkey was my assistant.”But if one is to believe his own telling of the monkey stealing his camera, Slater didn’t ask the monkeys to take the selfies and finally took the camera away.If that seems unfair, think about this. If a person left her laptop in a cafe, and a poet picked it up, opened up a word-processing program, and typed out a poem which turned out to be the best poem of this generation, could she ask for much more than her laptop back?32. The monkey selfie, taken in 2011, returned to the spotlight because .A. Slater allowed people to download the photo for freeB. Slater allowed Wikimedia Commons to download the photo free of chargeC. Wikimedia Commons refused to pay Slater any money for the photo on the websiteD. Wikimedia Commons refused to take the photo down from the website despite Slater’s request33. According to US copyright law, who might Wikimedia think owned the copyright of monkey photo?A.Slater. B. Wikimedia. C. The monkey. D. No one.34. The author mentioned Justin Bieber and some special cases to show that .A. whoever pressed the button would have the photo’s copyright in any casesB. only the famous singer would have the copyright to have the image producedC. only the owner of the camera would have the copyright of the photo even if he didn’t take itD. whoever pushed the button would have the copyright but in some special cases things were different35. From the last paragraph we know that the author .A. supports WikimediaB. doesn’t show his attitude at allC. shows great sympathy to SlaterD. agrees with neither Wikimedia nor Slater第二部分根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
