The bridge is unique for still having shops built along it, as was common in the days of the Medici. Butchers originally occupied souvenir sellers. It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his goods was physically broken by soldiers, and this practice was called “bancorotto (brokentable)”．Golden Gate Bridge仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. It is the masterwork of architect Joseph B. Strauss, whose statue graces the southern observation deck. The bridge took seven years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge used to be the longest suspension bridge span in the world. And today it has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in San Francisco and California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by eight other bridges. The famous red－orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick frog that frequently covers the bridge.Millau BridgeStarted in 1998 and opened to traffic in 2005, the Millau Viaduct is a huge cable－stayedroad－bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest highway bridge in the world, with the highest pylon's summit at 343 meters—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower. The speed limit on the bridge was reduced from 130 km/h to 110 km/h because of traffic slowing down, due to tourists taking pictures of the bridge from the vehicles. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic, passengers were stopping to admire the landscape and the bridgeitself.Charles BridgeThe Charles Bridge is a famous stone Gothic bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the support of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava, the 仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度Charles Bridge was the most important connection between the Old Town and the area around Prague Castle. Connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. Today it is one of the most visited sights in Prague with painters, owners of kiosks and other traders alongside numerous tourists crossing the bridge.()51. Of the four bridges, which one has the shortest history?A. Ponte Vecchio.B. Golden Gate Bridge.C. Millau Bridge.D. Charles Bridge.()52. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Golden Gate Bridge?A. The span length ranks the 8th in the world.B. Its color enables travelers to see it easily on foggy days.C. It is the most popular tourist attraction in America.D. It took Joseph B. Strauss 7 years to design the bridge.()53. The Charles Bridge played an important role in Prague, Czech Republic because________．A. it attracted many famous painters thereB. it was supported by Kin Charles IVC. it was the only stone Gothic bridge crossing the Vltava RiverD. it promoted the trade between Eastern and Western EuropeBTELECOMMUTERS fall into two camps. Some sit on the sofa watching daytime soaps, pausing occasionally to check their BlackBerrys. Most, however, do real work, undistracted by meetings and talkative colleagues.In the future more people will work from home. With office space in London and New Yorkso costly, many firms save money by encouraging staff to work in their loose clothes. Instead of having to bury their noses in strangers' armpits on crowded trains, they can work via e－mail, Skype and virtual private networks.Yet, in a research published in MIT Sloan Management Review, Daniel Cable of the London Business School shows that telecommuters are less likely to be promoted. In one experiment subjects were asked to judge scenarios in which the only difference was whether the employee was at his office desk or at home. Managers rated those at the office to be more dependable and industrious, regardless of the quality of their work.仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度Visibility creates the illusion of value. Being the last to leave the office impresses bosses,even if you are actually larking around(胡闹) on Facebook. Oddly, this holds true at firms that explicitly encourage staff to work from home. Many Californian tech firms asked employees not to come to the office too often; yet bosses unconsciously punished those who obeyed.Remote workers understand this. Many frequently sent their bosses with progress reports to prove they are on the job. A fifth of the workers in the study admitted to leaving an e－mail or voice mail early or late in the day. Still, many are not as smart as they think. Some choose a Monday or Friday to work at home. That, says Mr. Cable, makes others think they are eager to extend the weekend.A culture of presenteeism hurts working mothers most. Many women (and some men) work from home to allow themselves the flexibility to pick up kids from school. That need not mean they produce less; only that they do it at a time and a place of their own choosing. Some firms, such as Best Buy, an electronics retailer, recognize this and try hard to evaluate staff entirely on performance. But this is not easy. Intangibles such as teamworking skills matter, too. Mr. Cable thinks homeworking will lose its stigma(污名) only when most people do it. Or perhaps when the boss is telecommuting, too.()54. What is most likely the main cause of the increasing number of telecommuters?A. Increasing location rents.B. Annoying talkative colleagues.C. High－tech mobile phones.D. Attractive daytime soaps.()55. What does the example of many California tech firms prove?A. Working at home is impractical in tech firms.B. Employees' presence at office raises their value.C. Employees should judge when to obey.D. Bosses often don't keep their promises.()56. What do wise telecommuters do to prove they are on the job?A. They give timely accounts of their work progress to their bosses.B. They check their e－mails and voice mails every day.C. They discuss the work with their bosses.D. They spend some time working on weekends.()57. What is the biggest disadvantage of working at home according to the last仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度paragraph?A. The traditional working culture can be hurt.B. Mothers' work may be interrupted by their kids.C. Retailers can't get enough on－site employees.D. Employees may lack chances to develop certain skills.CAlzheimer's disease has no cure. There are, however, five drugs—known and approved—thatcan slow down the development of its symptoms. The earlier such drugs are administered, the better. Unfortunately, the disease is usually first noticed when people complain to their doctors of memory problems. That is normally too late for the drugs to do much good. A simple and reliable test for Alzheimer's that can be administered to everybody over the age of about 65, before memory－loss sets in, would therefore be useful.Theo Luider, of the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, and his colleaguesthink they have found one—but it works only in women. They made their discovery, just reportedin the Journal of Proteome Research, by tapping into a long－term, continuing study that started in 1995 with 1，077 non－demented and otherwise healthy people aged between 60 and 90. At the beginning of the project, and subsequently during the periods 1997－99 and 2002－04, participants were brought in for a battery of neurological(神经学的) and cognitive(认知的) investigations, physical examinations, brain imaging and blood tests.During the first ten years of the study, 43 of the volunteers developed Alzheimer's diseases. When Dr. Luider compared blood samples from these people with samples from 43 of their fellow volunteers, matched for sex and age, who had remained Alzheimer's－free, he found something surprising. Levels of a substance called pregnancy zone protein had been unusually high, even before their symptoms appeared, in some of those who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease. Those “some”，it turned out, were all women. On average, levels of pregnancy zone protein in those women who went on to develop Alzheimer's were almost 60% higher than those of women who did not. In men, levels of the protein were the same for both.The reason for this curious result seems to be that the brain plaques(斑块) associated with Alzheimer's disease are themselves turning out pregnancy zone protein. Certainly, when Dr. Luider applied a chemical stain specific to that protein to the plaques of dead Alzheimer's patients 仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度he found the protein present in them.Confusingly, though, it was there in the plaques of both sexes. Presumably, female cells (and therefore the plaques of female brains) make more of it than male cells do. But that remains to be proved. Whatever the reason, however, this result means that women, at least, may soon be able to tell whether and when they are at risk of Alzheimer's and thus do something about it before they start losing their minds.()58. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. No medication can slow down the development of Alzheimer's symptoms.B. To detect Alzheimer's disease before memory loss appears is vital.C. Doctors had better handle Alzheimer's disease when people are 65 years old.D. People who always complain are most likely to have Alzheimer's disease.()59. The underlined word “one”in Paragraph 2 refers to ________．A. a simple and reliable test for Alizheimer'sB. a possible cure for Alzheimer'sC. an important discovery about Alzheimer'sD. an effective and legal drug for Alzheimer's ()60. What does Dr. Luider's study tell us about the pregnancy zone protein?A. It won't go high until the symptoms of Alzheimer's appear.B. In men, levels of it remain stable for their lifetime.C. Women developing Alzheimer's usually have lower levels of it.D. The brain plaques connected with Alzheimer's produce it.()61. The passage is mainly about ________．A. patients of Alzheimer's disease and its drugsB. an introduction to the pregnancy zone proteinC. a new discovery concerning Alzheimer's diseaseD. the development stages of Alzheimer's diseaseDHe was in the first third－grade class I taught at Saint Mary's School in Morris, Minnesota.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy－to－be－alive attitude that made even his occasional mischievousness delightful.Mark also talked continuously. I had to remind him again and again that talking without仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度permission was not acceptable. One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a novice－teacher's mistake. I looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut！”It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck blurted out, “Mark is talking again.”I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. Without saying a word, I proceededto Mark's desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth. I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me. That did it! I startedlaughing. The entire class cheered as I walked back to Mark's desk, removed the tape, and shrugged my shoulders. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”At the end of the year I was asked to teach junior－high math. The years flew by, and beforeI knew it Mark was in my classroom again. He was more handsome than ever and just as polite.One Friday, things just didn't feel right. We had worked hard on a new concept all week, andI sensed that the students were growing discouraged with themselves—and edgy with one another.I had to change the mood of the class before it got out of hand. So I asked them to list the namesof the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. ThenI told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and Ilisted what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list. Some of them ran two pages. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really？”I heard whispers. “I never knew that meant anything to anyone！”“I didn't know others liked me so much！”No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. I never knew if the students discussedthem after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another again.That group of students moved on. Several years later, after I returned from a vacation, I got acall from my father. “The Eklunds called last night，”he began. “Really？”I said. “I haven't 仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度heard from them for several years. I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly. “Mark was killed in Vietnam，”Mark looked so handsome, somature. All I could think at that moment was, Mark, I would give all the masking tape in the worldif only you could talk to me.After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chuck's farmhouse for lunch.Mark's parents were there, obviously waiting for me. “Helen, we want to show you something，”his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thought you might recognize it.”Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that hadobviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the paperswere the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that，”Mark's mother said. “As you can see, Mark treasured it.”Mark's classmates started to gather around us. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, “Istill have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.”Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocket－book, took out her wallet and showed her worn and ragged list to the group. “I carry this with me at all times，”Vicki said without hesitation. “I think we all saved our lists.”That's when I finally sat down and cried. I cried for Mark and for all his friends who wouldnever see him again.()62.

We feel itwhen we either blame ourselves for things that turned out badly, or long to undo a choice we madein the past. The effect regret has on our lives and how we deal with regret are equally important.In some cases, regret can be disastrous. In 1995, a British man who regularly played one setof lottery numbers forgot to renew his ticket during the week that his numbers came up. He was so filled with regret and self－blame that he committed suicide. While this is an extreme consequence of regret, it can have many other lesser effects on the mind and body that can still seriously affect our lives.According to recent research, women have more regrets about romantic relationships thanmen do—not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men”. In collectivist 仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度culture where many aspects of life are arranged, people feel less regret, since many choices were made for them. There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (do something you wish you didn't). The research found that some regrets are more likelythan others to stay over time: people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction or the opportunities they have missed; meanwhile, regrets of action tend to be more recent.。

The bridge is unique for still having shops built along it, as was common in the days of the Medici. Butchers originally occupied souvenir sellers. It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his goods was physically broken by soldiers, and this practice was called “bancorotto (broken table)”．Golden Gate BridgeThe Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. It is the masterwork of architect Joseph B. Strauss, whose statue graces the southern observation deck. The bridge took seven years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge used to be the longest suspension bridge span in the world. And today it has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in San Francisco and California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by eight other bridges. The famous red－orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick frog that frequently covers the bridge.Millau BridgeStarted in 1998 and opened to traffic in 2005, the Millau Viaduct is a huge cable－stayed road－bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest highway bridge in the world, with the highest pylon's summit at 343 meters—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower. The speed limit on the bridge was reduced from 130 km/h to 110 km/h because of traffic slowing down, due to tourists taking pictures of the bridge from the vehicles. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic, passengers were stopping to admire the landscape and the bridge itself.Charles BridgeThe Charles Bridge is a famous stone Gothic bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the support of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava, theCharles Bridge was the most important connection between the Old Town and the area around Prague Castle. Connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. Today it is one of the most visited sights in Prague with painters, owners of kiosks and other traders alongside numerous tourists crossing the bridge.()51. Of the four bridges, which one has the shortest history?A. Ponte Vecchio.B. Golden Gate Bridge.C. Millau Bridge.D. Charles Bridge.()52. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Golden Gate Bridge?A. The span length ranks the 8th in the world.B. Its color enables travelers to see it easily on foggy days.C. It is the most popular tourist attraction in America.D. It took Joseph B. Strauss 7 years to design the bridge.()53. The Charles Bridge played an important role in Prague, Czech Republic because ________．A. it attracted many famous painters thereB. it was supported by Kin Charles IVC. it was the only stone Gothic bridge crossing the Vltava RiverD. it promoted the trade between Eastern and Western EuropeBTELECOMMUTERS fall into two camps. Some sit on the sofa watching daytime soaps, pausing occasionally to check their BlackBerrys. Most, however, do real work, undistracted by meetings and talkative colleagues.In the future more people will work from home. With office space in London and New York so costly, many firms save money by encouraging staff to work in their loose clothes. Instead of having to bury their noses in strangers' armpits on crowded trains, they can work via e－mail, Skype and virtual private networks.Yet, in a research published in MIT Sloan Management Review, Daniel Cable of the London Business School shows that telecommuters are less likely to be promoted. In one experiment subjects were asked to judge scenarios in which the only difference was whether the employee was at his office desk or at home. Managers rated those at the office to be more dependable and industrious, regardless of the quality of their work.Visibility creates the illusion of value. Being the last to leave the office impresses bosses, even if you are actually larking around(胡闹) on Facebook. Oddly, this holds true at firms that explicitly encourage staff to work from home. Many Californian tech firms asked employees not to come to the office too often; yet bosses unconsciously punished those who obeyed.Remote workers understand this. Many frequently sent their bosses with progress reports to prove they are on the job. A fifth of the workers in the study admitted to leaving an e－mail or voice mail early or late in the day. Still, many are not as smart as they think. Some choose a Monday or Friday to work at home. That, says Mr. Cable, makes others think they are eager to extend the weekend.A culture of presenteeism hurts working mothers most. Many women (and some men) work from home to allow themselves the flexibility to pick up kids from school. That need not mean they produce less; only that they do it at a time and a place of their own choosing. Some firms, such as Best Buy, an electronics retailer, recognize this and try hard to evaluate staff entirely on performance. But this is not easy. Intangibles such as teamworking skills matter, too. Mr. Cable thinks homeworking will lose its stigma(污名) only when most people do it. Or perhaps when the boss is telecommuting, too.()54. What is most likely the main cause of the increasing number of telecommuters?A. Increasing location rents.B. Annoying talkative colleagues.C. High－tech mobile phones.D. Attractive daytime soaps.()55. What does the example of many California tech firms prove?A. Working at home is impractical in tech firms.B. Employees' presence at office raises their value.C. Employees should judge when to obey.D. Bosses often don't keep their promises.()56. What do wise telecommuters do to prove they are on the job?A. They give timely accounts of their work progress to their bosses.B. They check their e－mails and voice mails every day.C. They discuss the work with their bosses.D. They spend some time working on weekends.()57. What is the biggest disadvantage of working at home according to the lastparagraph?A. The traditional working culture can be hurt.B. Mothers' work may be interrupted by their kids.C. Retailers can't get enough on－site employees.D. Employees may lack chances to develop certain skills.CAlzheimer's disease has no cure. There are, however, five drugs—known and approved—that can slow down the development of its symptoms. The earlier such drugs are administered, the better. Unfortunately, the disease is usually first noticed when people complain to their doctors of memory problems. That is normally too late for the drugs to do much good. A simple and reliable test for Alzheimer's that can be administered to everybody over the age of about 65, before memory－loss sets in, would therefore be useful.Theo Luider, of the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, and his colleagues think they have found one—but it works only in women. They made their discovery, just reported in the Journal of Proteome Research, by tapping into a long－term, continuing study that started in 1995 with 1，077 non－demented and otherwise healthy people aged between 60 and 90. At the beginning of the project, and subsequently during the periods 1997－99 and 2002－04, participants were brought in for a battery of neurological(神经学的) and cognitive(认知的) investigations, physical examinations, brain imaging and blood tests.During the first ten years of the study, 43 of the volunteers developed Alzheimer's diseases. When Dr. Luider compared blood samples from these people with samples from 43 of their fellow volunteers, matched for sex and age, who had remained Alzheimer's－free, he found something surprising. Levels of a substance called pregnancy zone protein had been unusually high, even before their symptoms appeared, in some of those who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease.Those “some”，it turned out, were all women. On average, levels of pregnancy zone protein in those women who went on to develop Alzheimer's were almost 60% higher than those of women who did not. In men, levels of the protein were the same for both.The reason for this curious result seems to be that the brain plaques(斑块) associated with Alzheimer's disease are themselves turning out pregnancy zone protein. Certainly, when Dr. Luider applied a chemical stain specific to that protein to the plaques of dead Alzheimer's patientshe found the protein present in them.Confusingly, though, it was there in the plaques of both sexes. Presumably, female cells (and therefore the plaques of female brains) make more of it than male cells do. But that remains to be proved. Whatever the reason, however, this result means that women, at least, may soon be able to tell whether and when they are at risk of Alzheimer's and thus do something about it before they start losing their minds.()58. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. No medication can slow down the development of Alzheimer's symptoms.B. To detect Alzheimer's disease before memory loss appears is vital.C. Doctors had better handle Alzheimer's disease when people are 65 years old.D. People who always complain are most likely to have Alzheimer's disease.()59. The underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________．A. a simple and reliable test for Alizheimer'sB. a possible cure for Alzheimer'sC. an important discovery about Alzheimer'sD. an effective and legal drug for Alzheimer's()60. What does Dr. Luider's study tell us about the pregnancy zone protein?A. It won't go high until the symptoms of Alzheimer's appear.B. In men, levels of it remain stable for their lifetime.C. Women developing Alzheimer's usually have lower levels of it.D. The brain plaques connected with Alzheimer's produce it.()61. The passage is mainly about ________．A. patients of Alzheimer's disease and its drugsB. an introduction to the pregnancy zone proteinC. a new discovery concerning Alzheimer's diseaseD. the development stages of Alzheimer's diseaseDHe was in the first third－grade class I taught at Saint Mary's School in Morris, Minnesota. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy－to－be－alive attitude that made even his occasional mischievousness delightful.Mark also talked continuously. I had to remind him again and again that talking withoutpermission was not acceptable. One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a novice－teacher's mistake. I looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut！”It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck blurted out, “Mark is talking again.”I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark's desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth. I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me. That did it! I started laughing. The entire class cheered as I walked back to Mark's desk, removed the tape, and shrugged my shoulders. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”At the end of the year I was asked to teach junior－high math. The years flew by, and before I knew it Mark was in my classroom again. He was more handsome than ever and just as polite.One Friday, things just didn't feel right. We had worked hard on a new concept all week, and I sensed that the students were growing discouraged with themselves—and edgy with one another.I had to change the mood of the class before it got out of hand. So I asked them to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list. Some of them ran two pages. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really？” I heard whispers. “I never knew that meant anything to anyone！”“I didn't know others liked me so much！”No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. I never knew if the students discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another again.That group of students moved on. Several years later, after I returned from a vacation, I got a call from my father. “The Eklunds called last night，”he began. “Really？”I said. “I haven'theard from them for several years. I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly. “Mark was killed in Vietnam，”Mark looked so handsome, so mature. All I could think at that moment was, Mark, I would give all the masking tape in the world if only you could talk to me.After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chuck's farmhouse for lunch. Mark's parents were there, obviously waiting for me. “Helen, we want to show you something，”his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.”Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that，”Mark's mother said. “As you can see, Mark treasured it.”Mark's classmates started to gather around us. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, “I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.”Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocket－book, took out her wallet and showed her worn and ragged list to the group. “I carry this with me at all times，”Vicki said without hesitation. “I think we all saved our lists.”That's when I finally sat down and cried. I cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.()62. We can conclude that when Sister Helen was a third－grade teacher, she ________．A. was usually hot－tempered and impatientB. liked all the students in the class but MarkC. wasn't always sure how to discipline her studentsD. had a high expectation of the students in her class()63. The underlined word “edgy” in Paragraph 7 means “________”．A. very disappointedB. easily annoyedC. fully honestD. greatly inspired()64. Upon reading their lists for the first time, Sister Helen's students were ________．A. surprised and proudB. nervous and embarrassedC. depressed and angryD. calm and content()65. Mark carried the notebook paper at all times because ________．A. it was a valuable gift from his dear Sister HelenB. it could ease his homesickness when in VietnamC. it was the recognition and appreciation from his classmatesD. he promised his classmates that he would treasure it第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共40分)第四部分：词汇检测(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)请认真阅读下列各小题，并根据上下文语境和所给首字母的提示，写出下列各句空格中的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一致.66. —Whatever b________ we are having on our shoulders, let them down for a moment, shall we?—All right.

We feel it when we either blame ourselves for things that turned out badly, or long to undo a choice we made in the past. The effect regret has on our lives and how we deal with regret are equally important.In some cases, regret can be disastrous. In 1995, a British man who regularly played one set of lottery numbers forgot to renew his ticket during the week that his numbers came up. He was so filled with regret and self－blame that he committed suicide. While this is an extreme consequence of regret, it can have many other lesser effects on the mind and body that can still seriously affect our lives.According to recent research, women have more regrets about romantic relationships than men do—not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men”.

given mainly to ．A． attract more visitors to Apple ValleyB． inform tourists of access to themC． make them promoted more effectivelyD． help us learn about the town's pastTown of Apple ValleyWhile we became an official Town in1998， our history goes back much further． Localhistorians have found signs of Serrano Indian campsalong the Mojave River in Apple Valley， which werealready here when Francisco Garcés arrived in 1776．There are many stories about how Apple Valley acquiredits name． According to Mary Hampton， the name arosefrom the abundance of apple orchards（果园）thatexisted here in the 1920s． Unfortunately， with theGreat Depression， the orchards died off in the1930s．28．(★★★)It may seem like a strange response： to break down in tears when youare happy． But now a group of psychologists say they have found the reason why．Oriana Aragon， the lead author of the report which will be published in the journal Psychological Science， said： "People may be restoring emotional balance with these expressions．"They seem to take people when people are overwhelmed（不能自持）with strong positive emotions， and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions．"The psychologists from Yale University examined subjects' emotional responsesto different situations， including happy reunions and "cute" babies．They found individuals who expressed negative reactions to positive news were able to melt their strong emotions more quickly．They showed examples of where people responded to a positive experience with a negative emotion， including concert goers screaming in horror at the presence of their hero and lottery winners breaking down in tears．The report authors said： "To give an example， upon winning the lottery， one might judge the event to be an extremely good thing； feel overwhelmed with happiness and smile， yet there is also an expression of crying which normatively expresses sadness．"This expression is not inherent（固有的）to the situation， the judgement， or the positive emotions． The negative expression might be merely a facial display，or it might reflect actual negative emotions．"Miss Aragon， a postdoctoral associate at Yale， said the research went some of the way to explaining a common response that most people did not understand．"These insights advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions， which is importantly related to mental and physical health，" she said．The psychologists claimed that there was also some evidence that the opposite was also true and that strong negative feelings may induce positive expressions．For example， people often laugh when they are nervous or faced with adifficult or frightening situations． They cite previous studied where psychologists found some subjects smiled at times of extreme sadness．（1）It is implied in the article that people may cry tears of joy ．A． when they release their mixed emotionsB． when they lose control of their emotionsC． when their extreme emotions have to be hiddenD． when their violent emotions need to be adjusted（2）The report authors tell us about ．A． the two occasions of the negative expressionB． the reasons for one's psychological changesC． the reflection of different people's personalityD． the process of recovery from strong emotions（3）What does the article lead you to believe？A． People laugh to drive away their feelings of nervousness．B． Strong negative feelings can beat positive feelings easily．C． Positive expressions don't necessarily mean happy events．D． We're likely to change negative things into positive ones．29．(★★★★)Empathy is a feeling different from sympathy． When one is sympathetic， one implies pity but maintains distance from another person's feelings． Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference， i．e．， the capacity to place oneself in another's position．Empathy is a translation of the German term Einfühlung， meaning to feel as one with． It implies sharing the load， or "walking a mile in someone else's shoes，"in order to appropriately understand that person's perspective（想法）．In therapy， for example， being sympathetic with a patient implies a distance and a failure to understand the patient's viewpoint． On the other hand， the therapist who displays empathy is attempting to further his or her understanding from the perspective of the patient． This implies closeness rather than distanceas it makes little distinction between the person suffering and the person attempting to understand the suffering．Group therapy often works because those with a specific issue， such as alcoholism， are able to show empathy to each other． Each person who is analcoholic finds it easier to understand others who struggle with alcoholism．Alternately， a group dedicated to providing support to people that have lost a child relies on the empathy of the members． Each person has something in common with the other group members． They can all deeply understand the monumental importance and tragedy of losing a child in a way that cannot be understood by a person who has not lost a child．Often people who have suffered a loss or experienced a tragedy find themselves [put off] by sympathy． Sympathy often emphasizes that the grieving isalone． Even when kindly meant， sympathy is often rejected． Grieving people don't necessarily want pity， but instead want understanding． Finding friends who can offer empathy helps to restore perspective in a world that has been torn by tragedy． For those who truly wish to help a grieving person， empathy is not always possible． Most people cannot even begin to be "as one with" a person who has been raped， abused， or who has suffered the death of a loved one． However， in attempting to express empathy， one needs to think carefully， "What would this really be like？" Then， we may come closest to empathy．In literature， catharsis（情感宣泄）for the reader is often achieved through empathy with a character． In fact， often literature， and other artistic mediums like film can be helpful psychologically． When a character is drawn well and one relates to the character's thoughts or experiences， the resolutions（决定）made by the character can forward the reader or viewer into new ways of thinking aboutone's own situations． In this way the reader or viewer's own empathy may provoke （引发）catharsis．（1）Which of the following can be an empathy statement？A． I have to apologize for it．B． That would annoy me， too．C． That really makes me sad．D． I'm fairly proud of you， too．（2）The understand phrase "put off" in Paragraph 6 means " "．A． disgustedB． comfortedC． overlookedD． privileged（3）It can be inferred that when you express empathy to someone， you may needto ．A． follow your conscienceB． analyze their behaviorC． forgive their ignoranceD． use your imagination（4）A successful literary and artistic work can bring out people'scatharsis ．A． by creating believable fictional charactersB． by providing plots about social psychologyC． by touching the hearts of readers or viewersD． by revealing characters' thoughts or experiences30．(★★★)Robotics， the science of designing and operating robots， dates back to the third century B．C． and earlier． Today， the scientists are creating systems that can learn for themselves and be able to operate in the home， the workplace and even on the sports field．The University of Texas， Austin team is putting artificial intelligence （AI）into its machines so that they can deal with real-world situations．Among the systems are automated assistants that will carry out simple tasks in a working office．Science fiction films predicted that in the future we would have intelligent robots． In The Day the Earth Stood Still， we had the sinister Gort； in Forbidden Planet there was Robby； and in the TV series those fictional representations - so where are they？Although we have had robots in factories for decades，[getting them toleave the shop-floor has been no easy task]． In manufacturing plants， they carry out repetitive tasks all day and night．But if they step outside， they are unable to deal with the chaos of the real world． It is a place where order and routine are gone． Even the simplest of tasks are complicated by the unpredictability and vagueness of human interaction．A team at the University of Texas， Austin has set itself the challenge of bringing robots out of their comfort zone and into our messy world．Laptops on motorized bases wander through the lab like slow， partly builtDaleks． They are the researches' Building Wide Intelligence Project（BWIP）． Currently， they are learning their way around the place．So far they have learned how to avoid bumping into stuff． But great things are planned for them．The goal is for them to be able to carry out simple instructions， like finding a colleague or locating and bringing over a piece of equipment． But that is easier said than done．They need to be able to recognize objects and people． They also need to understand rather than recognize human speech． There is a difference． The latter involves having a limited number of voice commands pre-programmed into them． But understanding requires context and meaning．This can only be achieved using AI techniques， which involve the robot asking questions to help it understand what words mean． The researcher leading theproject is a linguist， Dr Jesse Thomason． He has restricted the number of questions the partly built Daleks can ask to just five． Why so few？He explains that the robots can become "infuriating" with theirquestions． They would ask them forever like a small child．Indeed， when Jesse teaches one of the robots it seems like he is talking to a baby． His colleague， Dr Andrea Thomaz， wants them to know when it is appropriate to approach a human and start up a conversation．In another part of the lab， robots are playing football． They are part of a new plan for an international "RoboCup"， which has set itself the challenge of building a team capable of beating the men's World Cup winners by 2050．The robots play on a mini indoor football pitch， working together as a team and learning from each match．Playing football is far harder for machine-learning than chess or go，according to Prof Peter Stone who leads this project and plays football regularly himself．"Rather than turn-taking， you have everyone moving at the same time． And if you take too long to decide what to do when you pass the ball， your opponents（对手）come and take the ball from you．"It's also continuous． There are no discrete places where people need to be． They are always moving， through the air and through space． So there are many challenges in contrast to some of the board games．"The kinds of robots in 1950s films are still in the realms（范围）of science fiction． But with rapid developments in artificial intelligence， it won't be long before they become part of our everyday lives．（1）The underlined part in Paragraph 5implies that ．A． few families are able to afford a robotB． people know little about modern robotsC． the functions of the robot stay limitedD． the robots on sale are mostly out of date（2）In the article our world is described as messy mainly because ．A． everything in the world keeps changing all the timeB． intelligent robots are not prepared for the real worldC． a fictional world can never be trusted or depended onD． robots are too inflexible to handle what happen randomly（3）What do you learn about BWIP from the article？A． It aims to enable robots to communicate with humans．B． AI techniques have an unexpected effect on it．C． A breakthrough has been made in it．D． It remains in its initial stage．（4）What can we conclude about robots playing football from the article？A． They can never perform efficiently without artificial intelligence．B． They need to be well trained before they take part in a real game．C． They will never appear on a real football with human players．D． They are likely to play better than the best footballers in the future．（5）What is the author's attitude like towards the future of the robot？A． Ambiguous．B． Doubtful．C． Optimistic．D． Unclear．（6）Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage？A． Why are robots limited to workplaces？B． What happened when AI meets robotics？C． How can AI be applied to everyday lives？D． Where are robots widely used nowadays？第四部分任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填1个单词．请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．31．(★★)Researchers have already known about the cognitive（认知的）improving abilities of coffee， more specifically of the caffeine in it． However， it was only recently that they have come to realize that the caffeine in coffee can also strengthen people's memories． Apparently， the caffeine in coffee increases a deeper level of preserving memories in people known as pattern separation， which enables them to differentiate between items that are similar but not exactly alike． A study conducted back in 2014 suggests that consuming 200 milligrams ofcaffeine every day， which is the equivalent of a strong cup of coffee， can havean improving effect on a person's memory． It can also make people more attentive and focused．The fact of the matter is that the benefits of coffee are not just limited to improving memory． According to other studies， coffee and the caffeine can delay the start of Alzheimer's（老年痴呆症）， and even seniors already suffering frommild Alzheimer's can benefit from it． The cognitive decline of the mind is usually a result of a chain reaction started by adenosine receptors in the brain． Caffeinein coffee can block inflammation（炎症）in those receptors and the rest of the brain to prevent that from happening．Alzheimer's is also closely linked to the buildup of beta-amyloid and tau proteins（蛋白）in the brain．Another study has claimed that caffeine in coffee acts as a fighter against adenosine receptor． This means that the receptors in the brain that contribute to the buildup of the two mentioned proteins are blocked by it． Thus， caffeine in coffee has a positive effect on the beta-amyloid and tau proteins．The health benefits of coffee are not just limited to just the caffeine it contains． If you want to drink quality coffee， you must have quality coffee beans and grind（碾磨）them finely with a burr grinder．Burr grinders get their name from the burrs inside them， which makes revolutions in order to grind the coffee beans between them． When using a burr grinder， you may even determine how fine the ground coffee will be by adjusting the distance between the burrs． Burr coffee grinders used to be manual machines，but modern day burr grinders are electrical devices， which makes them even more ideal． With a burr grinder， you can ensure that you will have control over the size of the grind． Modern day burr grinders are even equipped with a safety feature like a safety lock feature that ensures that the machine automatically turns off if the upper burr is not locked．If you were looking for a reason to start drinking coffee every day， perhaps the fact that it can improve your memory and help you keep off Alzheimer's might encourage you． On the other hand， if you are already a coffee enthusiast and want to enjoy the freshest cup of coffee every morning， prepared right at home， then you should consider investing a burr grinder rather than a blade one．第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）32．(★★★)请认真阅读下面有关我国电影票房收入（box-office income

is a feeling different from sympathy．When one is sympathetic，one implies pity but maintains distance from another person's feelings．Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference，i．e．，the capacity to place oneself in another's position．Empathy is a translation of the German term Einfühlung，meaning to feel as one with．It implies sharing the load，or "walking a mile in someone else's shoes，" in order to appropriately understand that person's perspective（想法）．In therapy，for example，being sympathetic with a patient implies a distance and a failure to understand the patient's viewpoint．On the other hand，the therapist who displays empathy is attempting to further his or her understanding from the perspective of the patient．This implies closeness rather than distance as it makes little distinction between the person suffering and the person attempting to understand the suffering．Group therapy often works because those with a specific issue，such as alcoholism，are able to show empathy to each other．Each person who is an alcoholic finds it easier to understand others who struggle with alcoholism．Alternately，a group dedicated to providing support to people that have lost a child relies on the empathy of the members．Each person has something in common with the other group members．They can all deeply understand the monumental importance and tragedy of losing a child in a way that cannot be understood by a person who has not lost a child．Often people who have suffered a loss or experienced a tragedy find themselves put off by sympathy．Sympathy often emphasizes that the grieving is alone．Even when kindly meant，sympathy is often rejected．Grieving people don't necessarily want pity，but instead want understanding．Finding friends who can offer empathy helps to restore perspective in a world that has been torn by tragedy．For those who truly wish to help a grieving person，empathy is not always possible．Most people cannot even begin to be "as one with" a person who has been raped，abused，or who has suffered the death of a loved one．However，in attempting to express empathy，one needs to think carefully，"What would this really be like？" Then，we may come closest to empathy．In literature，catharsis（情感宣泄）for the reader is often achieved through empathy with a character．In fact，often literature，and other artistic mediums like film can be helpful psychologically．When a character is drawn well and one relates to the character's thoughts or experiences，the resolutions（决定）made by the character can forward the reader or viewer into new ways of thinking about one's own situations．In this way the reader or viewer's own empathy may provoke（引发）catharsis．16.Which of the following can be an empathy statement？______A. I have to apologize for it．B. That would annoy me，too．C. That really makes me sad．D. I'm fairly proud of you，too．17.The understand phrase "put off" in Paragraph 6 means " ______ "．A. disgustedB. comfortedC. overlookedD. privileged18.It can be inferred that when you express empathy to someone，you may need to ______ ．A. follow your conscienceB. analyze their behaviorC. forgive their ignoranceD. use your imagination19. A successful literary and artistic work can bring out people's catharsis ______ ．A. by creating believable fictional charactersB. by providing plots about social psychologyC. by touching the hearts of readers or viewersD. by revealing characters' thoughts or experiences【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】C【解析】1．B．细节理解题．根据文章Most people cannot even begin to be "as one with" a person who has been raped， abused，or who has suffered the death of a loved one． However， in attempting to express empathy ， one needs to think carefully可知那也会使我恼火可以是移情声明；故选B．2．A．词义猜测题．根据文章Often people who have suffered a loss or experienced a tragedy find themselves put off by s ympathy可知经常遭受损失或经历过悲剧的人会发现自己被同情所阻挠；意为厌恶的；故选A．3．D．推理判断题．根据文章In therapy， for example， being sympathetic with a patient implies a distance and a failure t o understand the patient's viewpoint可知当你表达对某人的同情时，你可能需要发挥你的想象力；故选D．4．C．细节理解题．根据文章When a character is drawn well and one relates to the character's thoughts or experiences， th e resolutions（决定）made by the character can forward the reader or viewer into new ways of thinking about one's own situations． In this way the reader or viewer's own empathy may provoke（引发）catharsis可知一件成功的文艺作品能引起人们的宣泄通过触摸读者或观众的心；故选C 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了移情是一种不同于同情的感觉．当一个人同情时，同情意味着与另一个人的感情保持距离．移情是理解或感受他人在其参照范围内所经历的能力的能力，即能力．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．BIt may seem like a strange response：to break down in tears when you are happy．But now a group of psychologists say they have found the reason why．Oriana Aragon，the lead author of the report which will be published in the journal Psychological Science，said："People may be restoring emotional balance with these expressions．"They seem to take people when people are overwhelmed（不能自持）with strong positive emotions，and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions．" The psychologists from Yale University examined subjects' emotional responses to different situations，including happy reunions and "cute" babies．They found individuals who expressed negative reactions to positive news were able to melttheir strong emotions more quickly．They showed examples of where people responded to a positive experience with a negative emotion，including concert goers screaming in horror at the presence of their hero and lottery winners breaking down in tears．The report authors said："To give an example，upon winning the lottery，one might judge the event to be an extremely good thing；feel overwhelmed with happiness and smile，yet there is also an expression of crying which normatively expresses sadness．"This expression is not inherent（固有的）to the situation，the judgement，or the positive emotions．The negative expression might be merely a facial display，or it might reflect actual negative emotions．"Miss Aragon，a postdoctoral associate at Yale，said the research went some of the way to explaining a common response that most people did not understand．"These insights advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions，which is importantly related to mental and physical health，" she said．The psychologists claimed that there was also some evidence that the opposite was also true and that strong negative feelings may induce positive expressions．For example，people often laugh when they are nervous or faced with a difficult or frightening situations．They cite previous studied where psychologists found some subjects smiled at times of extreme sadness．20.It is implied in the article that people may cry tears of joy ______ ．A. when they release their mixed emotionsB. when they lose control of their emotionsC. when their extreme emotions have to be hiddenD. when their violent emotions need to be adjusted21.The report authors tell us about ______ ．A. the two occasions of the negative expressionB. the reasons for one's psychological changesC. the reflection of different people's personalityD. the process of recovery from strong emotions22.What does the article lead you to believe______A.

so where are theyAlthough we have had robots in factories for decades，getting them to leave the shop-floor has been no easy task．In manufacturing plants，they carry out repetitive tasks all day and night．But if they step outside，they are unable to deal with the chaos of the real world．It is a place where order and routine are gone．Even the simplest of tasks are complicated by the unpredictability and vagueness of human interaction．A team at the University of Texas，Austin has set itself the challenge of bringing robots out of their comfort zone and into our messy world．Laptops on motorized bases wander through the lab like slow，partly built Daleks．They are the researches' Building Wide Intelligence Project （BWIP）．Currently，they are learning their way around the place．So far they have learned how to avoid bumping into stuff．But great things are planned for them．The goal is for them to be able to carry out simple instructions，like finding a colleague or locating and bringing over a piece of equipment．But that is easier said than done．They need to be able to recognize objects and people．They also need to understand rather than recognize human speech．There is a difference．The latter involves having a limited number of voice commands pre-programmed into them．But understanding requires context and meaning．This can only be achieved using AI techniques，which involve the robot asking questions to help it understand what words mean．The researcher leading the project is a linguist，Dr Jesse Thomason．He has restricted the number of questions the partly built Daleks can ask to just five．Why so few？He explains that the robots can become "infuriating" with their questions．They would ask them forever like a small child．Indeed，when Jesse teaches one of the robots it seems like he is talking to a baby．His colleague，Dr Andrea Thomaz，wants them to know when it is appropriate to approach a human and start up a conversation．In another part of the lab，robots are playing football．They are part of a new plan for aninternational "RoboCup"，which has set itself the challenge of building a team capable of beating the men's World Cup winners by 2050．The robots play on a mini indoor football pitch，working together as a team and learning from each match．Playing football is far harder for machine-learning than chess or go，according to Prof Peter Stone who leads this project and plays football regularly himself．"Rather than turn-taking，you have everyone moving at the same time．And if you take too long to decide what to do when you pass the ball，your opponents（对手）come and take the ball from you．"It's also continuous．There are no discrete places where people need to be．They are always moving，through the air and through space．So there are many challenges in contrast to some of the board games．"The kinds of robots in 1950s films are still in the realms（范围）of science fiction．But with rapid developments in artificial intelligence，it won't be long before they become part of our everyday lives．23.The underlined part in Paragraph 5implies that ______ ．A. few families are able to afford a robotB. people know little about modern robotsC. the functions of the robot stay limitedD. the robots on sale are mostly out of date24.In the article our world is described as messy mainly because ______ ．A. everything in the world keeps changing all the timeB. intelligent robots are not prepared for the real worldC. a fictional world can never be trusted or depended onD. robots are too inflexible to handle what happen randomly25.What do you learn about BWIP from the article？______A.

have already known about the cognitive（认知的）improving abilities ofcoffee，more specifically of the caffeine in it．However，it was only recently that they have come to realize that the caffeine in coffee can also strengthen people'smemories．Apparently，the caffeine in coffee increases a deeper level of preserving memories in people known as pattern separation，which enables them to differentiate between items that are similar but not exactly alike．A study conducted back in 2014 suggests that consuming 200 milligrams of caffeine everyday，which is the equivalent of a strong cup of coffee，can have an improving effect ona person's memory．It can also make people more attentive and focused．The fact of the matter is that the benefits of coffee are not just limited to improvingmemory．According to other studies，coffee and the caffeine can delay the start of Alzheimer's（老年痴呆症），and even seniors already suffering from mild Alzheimer's can benefit from it．The cognitive decline of the mind is usually a result of a chainreaction started by adenosine receptors in the brain．Caffeine in coffee can blockinflammation（炎症）in those receptors and the rest of the brain to prevent that from happening．Alzheimer's is also closely linked to the buildup of beta-amyloid and tau proteins（蛋白）in the brain．Another study has claimed that caffeine in coffee acts as a fighter against adenosine receptor．This means that the receptors in the brain that contribute to the buildup of the two mentioned proteins are blocked by it．Thus，caffeine in coffee has apositive effect on the beta-amyloid and tau proteins．The health benefits of coffee are not just limited to just the caffeine it contains．If you want to drink quality coffee，you must have quality coffee beans and grind（碾磨）them finely with a burr grinder．Burr grinders get their name from the burrs inside them，which makes revolutions in order to grind the coffee beans between them．When using a burr grinder，you may even determine how fine the ground coffee will be by adjusting the distance between theburrs．Burr coffee grinders used to be manual machines，but modern day burr grinders are electrical devices，which makes them even more ideal．With a burr grinder，you can ensure that you will have control over the size of the grind．Modern day burr grinders are even equipped with a safety feature like a safety lock feature that ensures that the machine automatically turns off if the upper burr is not locked．If you were looking for a reason to start drinking coffee every day，perhaps the fact that it can improve your memory and help you keep off Alzheimer's might encourage you．On the other hand，if you are already a coffee enthusiast and want to enjoy the freshest cup of coffee every morning，prepared right at home，then you should consider investing a【答案】【小题】．【小题2】resist/avoid【小题3】developing【小题4】barrier【小题5】prepare/make【小题6】factors/elements【小题7】choice【小题8】must【小题9】daily/regular【小题10】replaced【解析】1．academic/

Christianity was formally introduced with the arrival of missionaries(传教士) in August 1830. During the early 20th century the Samoan Islands were divided by Germany, Great Britain and the USA. Tutuila and Aunu'u islands were claimed by the USA. The western islands became German Samoa. In 1914, New Zealand forces captured the islands from Germany, thus becoming Western Samoa. Western Samoa regained its independence on January 1, 1962.Samoans are notable in rugby. Despite its small population, the island of American Samoa produces disproportionately a large number of world－class American football players. Samoan Mosi Tatupu was a member of NFL team(全国橄榄球联盟) the New England Patriots. Samoan Troy Polamalu was a member of the NFL team the Pittsburgh Steelers until he retired after the 2014 football season.Traditional Samoan tattoo(纹身) proves the strong ties many Samoans feel for their culture. Samoans have practiced the art of tattooing for over 2，000 years. To this day, a man's tattoo widely covers from mid－back, down the sides, to the knees. A woman's tattoo is not quite aswide or heavy. The geometric patterns are based on ancient designs, and often indicate rank and status.Here is the process of tattooing. The tattoo master dips his cutting tools into black ink made from burnt shells, and then punctures designs into the skin. The cutting tool consists of a short piece of bamboo or light wood with a piece of tortoiseshell bound at right angles at one end. A little bone comb is bound to the lower broad end of the tortoiseshell. The larger the comb, the greater the area on the skin is covered with fewer strokes. The process takes days, and is sometimes partially accomplished over longer periods, with recovery in between.()58. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________．A. Missionaries firstly introduced Christianity into Samoa in August of 1830B. Tutuila and Aunu'u islands have ever been claimed by Great Britain in 1920C. Eastern and western Samoa regained its independence in January of 1962D. Samoa has a history of being occupied by at least four developed countries()59. The author introduced the sport item “rugby” in Samoa with a tone of ________．A. dignityB. doubtC. respectD. sadness()60. When talking about their culture, Samoan natives most probably agree that ________．A. a woman's tattoo is quite heavy and not wideB. a man's tattoo covers from mid－chest to kneesC. Tattoo－receiving recovers slowly but necessarilyD. Tattoo patterns always indicate rank and genderCNEW cars that can control and brake themselves risk quieting people in the driver's seat into a false sense of security —and even to sleep.That was one surprising finding when researchers put Stanford University students in a simulated(模拟的) self－driving car to study how they reacted when their robo－chauffer needed help. The experiment was one in a growing number that assesses how cars can safely hand control back to a person when their self－driving software is at a loss.With some models already able to stay in their lane or keep a safe distance from other traffic, and automakers pushing for more automation, the car－to－driver handoff is a big open question.The elimination(消除) of distracted driving is a major selling point for the technology. But in the Stanford experiment, reading or watching a movie helped keep participants awake. The Stanford research suggests engaging people with media could help, while some automakers are marketing vehicles with limited self－driving features that will slow the car if they detect a person has stopped paying attention to the road. Though research is ongoing, it appears that people need at least 5 seconds to take over.Meanwhile, traditional automakers are advancing with the technology. Mercedes and Toyota sell cars that can hit the brakes and stay in their lane. By adding new features each year, they might produce a truly self－driving car in about a decade. One potential risk of this gradualist approach became clear this fall, when Tesla Mo tors had to explain that its “auto pilot” feature did not mean drivers could stop paying attention. Starting late next year, the Cadillac CTS will get a Super Cruise system, which will allow semi－autonomous highway driving. If the driver's eyes are off the road, and they don't respond to repeated urging, the car slows.“We are in no way selling this as a technology where the driver can check out，”General Motors spokesman Dan Flores said, “You can relax, glance away, but you still have to be aware because you know the technology's not safe.”One riddle automakers must solve: How to get owners to trust the technology so they'll use it — but not trust it so much that they'll fall into a false sense of security. Trust was on the mind of researchers who in August published an extensive report on self－driving cars. “Although this trust is essential for widespread adoption, participants were also observed prioritizing non－driving activities over the operation of the vehicle，”the authors wrote. Another wide－open question: How to alert the person in the driver's seat of the need to take over. It appears that the car should appeal to several senses. Visual warnings alone may not be enough.()61. In the experiment, one disadvantage of the self－driving car is that in the drivers' seats people ________．A. have a sense of security because of new technologyB. can't react immediately when they need helpC. are often distracted while driving the carD. like to read and watch a movie to keep awake()62. What does the underlined word “handoff” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. changeB. controlC. pullD. push()63. From the passage, we can conclude that ________．A. the automakers are proud of the new cars for their technologyB. there are problems to solve in getting owners to trust the technologyC. automakers have already marketed cars with limited self－driving technologyD. traditional automakers rather than present ones are advancing with the technology()64. The author's purpose of writing the passage is to ________．A. remind the readers of risks in the self－driving carB. advertise and market the new self－driving carC. get more participants to experiment in the self－driving carD. introduce the advanced technology in the self－driving carDGone with the Wind is a novel written by Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. It was popular with American readers from the onset and was the top American fiction bestseller in the year it was published and in 1937 on the row. As of 2014, a Harris poll found it to be the second favorite book of American readers, just behind the Bible. More than 30 million copies have been printed worldwide. The sales of Margaret Mitchell's novel in the summer of 1936, at the virtually unprecedented price of three dollars, reached about one million by the end of December. Because it was released in the era of the Great Depression and Mitchell worried the high $3.00 price would ruin its chance for success. Actually the book was a bestseller by the time reviews began to appear in national magazines.Herschel Brickell, a critic for the New York Evening Post, praised Mitchell for the way she “tosses out the window all the thousands of technical tricks our novelists have been playing with for the past twenty years”．One criticism by literary scholar Patricia Yaeger, leveled at Gone with the Wind, is for its portrayal of African Americans in the 19th century South. Former_field_hands during the early days of Reconstruction are described behaving “as creatures of small intelligence might naturally be expected to do. Like monkeys or small children turned loose among treasured objects whose value is beyond their comprehension, they ran wild—either from wrong pleasure in destruction or simply because of their ignorance.”In Gone with the Wind Mitchell is blind to racial oppressionand “the inseparability of race and gender”that defines the southern belle character of Scarlett, according to Patricia Yaeger.Yet there are complexities in the way that Mitchell dealt with racial issues. Scarlett was asked by a Yankee woman for advice on who to appoint as a nurse for her children; Scarlett suggested a “darky”，much to the disgust of the Yankee woman who was seeking an Irish maid, a “Bridget”. African Americans and Irish Americans are treated “in precisely the same way”in Gone with the Wind, writes David O'Connell in his 1996 book, The Irish Roots of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Ethnic slurs(种族蔑称) on the Irish and Irish stereotypes spread in every part of the novel, O'Connell claims, and Scarlett is not an exception to the insults. And apparently in the novel, the Irish American O'Haras were slaveholders whereas African Americans were held as slaves.Speaking on the subject of whether Gone with the Wind should be taught in schools, James Loewen, author of Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong，says the novel should be taught in schools. Students should be told that Gone with the Wind presents the wrong view of slavery, Loewen states. Besides, the main complaint was that the racial slur “nigger”appears repeatedly in the novel. In the same complaint were several other books: The Nigger of the “Narcissus”，Uncle Tom's Cabin, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Another criticism of the novel is that it promotes plantation values. Mitchell biographer Marianne Walker, author of Margaret Mitchell & John Marsh: The Love Story Behind Gone with the Wind, is of the opinion that those who believe Gone with the Wind promotes plantation values have not read the book. Walker states it is the popular 1939 film that “promotes a false notion of the Old South”. She goes on to add that Mitchell had no involvement in the production of the film. Perhaps the most enduring legacy(遗产) of Gone with the Wind is that people worldwide would incorrectly think it was the true story of the Old South and how it was changed by the American Civil War and Reconstruction. The film version of the novel “amplified this effect”. Scholars of the period have written in recent years about the negative effects the novel has had on race relations.()65. When Gone with the Wind was published, ________．A. it became the top bestseller all of the timeB. reading was more popular than anything else thenC. the price of the book was too high for people thenD. American people were suffering financial problems()66. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part “Former field hands”refers to ________．A. peasants in the early timeB. African－American peopleC. creatures of small intelligenceD. people in Reconstruction()67. David O'Connell's view is different from Patricia Yaeger's in ________．A. Mitchell's Ethnic slurs in the novelB. Mitchell's description of slave laborersC. Mitchell's attitude towards the Irish peopleD. Mitchell's ways of dealing with racial problems()68. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. James Loewen sings high praise for American history textbooks.B. Uncle Tom's Cabin also shows some racial discrimination.C. The repeated appearance of the racial slur “n igger” is only a trick.D. Gone with the Wind should be taught because it shows slavery is wrong.()69. What can we infer as to the film Gone with the Wind?A. It has nothing to do with the novel.B. It promotes a false concept of plantation.C. It reflects the true story of the Old South.D. It is not so faithful to the novel.()70. Among the four persons, who doesn't give positive comments on Gone with the Wind?A. Herschel Brickell.B. David O'Connell.C. Patricia Yaeger.D. Marianne Walker.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意：每个空格只填1个单词.Is E－Mail Dead?With the rise of rapid－fire messaging, the digital letter seems to be crawling toward the fate of snail mail. If your in－box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,you might have a hard time believing the news: e－mail is on the decline. The total volume of e－mail has dropped about 10 percent since 2010.The word “e－mail” itself tells you about its origins: it was modeled on written letters. To this day, a lot of e－mail begins with a salutat ion. Maybe it's “Hey” instead of “Dear Casey”，but it's there. And because there was so much overhead involved with sending a letter—folding, enveloping, addressing, stamping, mailing—few bothered to send only a few words. The effort seemed to justify a longer message. Once viewed as the death of the personal human touch, e－mail has now taken over the letter's place as a form of new communication—both business and personal. But is its day in the digital sun coming to a close?Today's instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They get rid of the salutation; we already know the “to” and “from”. Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise. And less time.This trend is further evidence that store－and－forward systems such as e－mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily consumed message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.The decline of e－mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.Does this mean e－mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Was it just a transitional technology—from postal mail to the new, rapid－fire communication channels?Not necessarily. E－mail still has certain advantages. Whereas tweets and texts feel transient—you read them, then they're gone, into an endless string—e－mail still feels like something you have, that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.So in a word, no, e－mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e－mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its place, and so will e－mail.
