ASeveral Jobs That Will Be Automated By Artificial Intelligence(AI) And RobotsTranslatorImage recognition software and voice recognition software are bringing some major advances to language translation．Applications like Google’s Word Lens can translate words from signs and documents in real time and there ale a lot of translation apps that allow you to type in a word or phrase and will translate it for you．Some will even speak the phrase for you and raw word-to-word translation will be fully automated soon．Fast food workersAutomated ordering booths have already made their way into a few McDonald’s restaurants around the world，and cooking positions could be removed next．The booths probably can’t handle customer service problems well，so televideo systems could bring in an office employee to deal with complaints．Field technicianNew advances in the Internet of Things could make this work obsolete．Low-cost sensors combined with high availability cellular／satellite communications and cloud technology are being started to automate and alarm these sites，and can be checked and maintainedfrom a desktop or mobile device．Sales representativeBut，e-commerce is changing how we make purchasing decisions，especially those where there isn’t much differentiation among the major competitors．If you’re selling a high-differentiation product and／or a high-price，low-volume product you have some job security，but if you’re selling a high-volume，low-differentiation product，you better start polishing your resume，said Doug Camplejohn，CEO of Fliptop．“These kind of product sales are all moving online．”21．What can Google’s Word Lens do?A．Translate by image and voice recognition software．B．Speak the phrase or word for you．C．Make real-time translation．D．Allow you to type in a word or phrase．22．What can we infer from the second part?A．All the restaurants own automated ordering booths．B．Service problems can’t be handled automatically．C．Cooks will not be automated by AI and robots．D．Customers will have no complaints because of AI．23．What does the underlined word“obsolete”mean in Part 3? A．Abandoned．B．Welcome．C．Forbidden．D．Efficient．24．What does the author mean by“you better start polishing your resume”in the last paragraph? A．You must value your present work．B．You have some job security．C．Your resume needs correcting further．D．You should consider changing the job．BIt was Groundhog Day．A winter storm had hit overnight too．I tried to open my backdoor only to find six inches of wet，heavy snow piled up against it．I knew I had quite a job of shoveling out ahead of me，so I reached over to grab my snow shovel．It looked a lot more ready to work than Idid．I sighed and pulled on my boots，gloves，and heavy coat．The wind chill was below zero and cut into my face as I slowly shoveled off my deck．After that I stayed my way over to my daughter’s house shoveling the path as I walked．It took a while to get her driveway clear and I knew I still had a lot to do．Next came the paths down the hill to my own cars covered in snow．I had grabbed the broom to sweep them off as well．I winced when the breeze blew the swept snow back into my face．Then I started to shovel out my driveways．My back was aching as I worked．I wished I could be building a snowman instead of shoveling．Winter sure had seemed a lot more fun when I was a boy．When I was done I examined my work．It didn’t look half bad．I smiled and looked at thewoods covered in white．They were such a special sight．I leaned on my shovel and took it all in．Then I started up the hill with the snow shovel in one hand and the broom in the other．Suddenly，an urge came over me and I dropped them both．I spread my arms，fed back into the blanket of white and happily moved my arms and legs to make an angel in the snow．As you go through the seasons of this life take joy in your work．Take joy in your life．Remember that the course of your days rests in your own hands．25．What’s the theme of the text?A．Enjoy winter work．B．Take things seriously．C．Take joy in your life．D．Fight against cold．26．Which is the correct order of what the author shoveled?A．his deck-his daughter’s driveway-his cars-his drivewayB．his cars-his deck-his daughter’s driveway-his drivewayC．his daughter’s driveway-his deck-his driveway-his carsD．his driveway-his daughter’s driveway-his cars-his deck27．What can we conclude about the author from Paragraph 3?A．He was not satisfied with his work．B．He was absorbed in the snow sight．C．He was fond of making snowmen．D．He was in low spirits after work．CIf you’re a book lover，you have a pile of books on your bedside，or a bookshelf in your library with a“to read”sign on it．Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding to the pile．This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases．But I’m here to tell you to stop worrying．What you have is an antilibrary，and it’s a very good thing．The term comes from writer Umberto Eco．He is the owner of a large personal library．He separates visitors into two groups：those who react with“Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?”and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research too1．Read books are far less valuable than unread ones．Indeed，the more you know，the larger the rows of unread books．Let us call this collection an antilibrary．If you think you already know everything about a subject，you’re cutting yourself off from a stream of information at an artificial point．So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently curious about the unknown．And that attitude is a great foundation for a lifelong love of 1earning．So don’t feel guilt over your unread books．Those books will be there for you when you do want them，and as you build your library of read and unread books，you can start using it as you would use a bigger library．Certain books may become references more than read-throughs．Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today．Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity．That’s good for you and good for the world aroundyou．28．What does the underlined word“antilibrary”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Feelings of guilt over new books．B．A pile of books on the bookshelf．C．The collection of unread books．D．A large personal library．29．According to the author，more unread books mean________．A．your wrong lifelong learning attitudeB．you limit yourself from the unknownC．your have no interest in the new worldD．your strong desire about new information30．What’s the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary? A．Favorable．B．Doubtful．C．Ambiguous．D．Contradictory．31．What can we know from the last paragraph?A．Curiosity is a sign of high IQ．B．Books are the ladder in our life．C．Unread books are surely relevant to the present．D．We should read through every book．DNoise-cancelling audio instruments have been around for a while now，but one Berlin-based designer believes that blocking“visual noise”is as important，if not more so，as cancelling out unwanted sounds．To this end he has created a simple accessory called the Focus Cap．Open work spaces definitely have their benefits，but they come with the drawback of offering employees little to no control over visual distractions(干扰)．With so many people around and so much going on，some of us can easily get disturbed by this information overload and lose focus in what’s really important．That’s where the Focus Cap comes into play．“As we are still cavemen or mammals kept in an unnatural environment，I believe that only by reclaiming(收回)the normal，stress-free human state through simple tools and techniques can we finally release our actual creative potential and create our meaningful work for a brighter future，”says German designer Hannes Greblin，inventor of the Focus Cap．After looking at other products designed at minimizing visual distractions，Greblin decided that most of them were either too expensive or too uncomfortable to become mainstream，so he decided to go with something much simpler —a simple cap with a retractable visor(可伸缩的帽沿)．Greblin’s Focus Cap is really straightforward．You just wear it like a regular cap’with the sides of the visor retracted，and just collapse the sides whenever you need to focus on what’s ahead of you．Whether you’re trying to focus on a task in an open work office．Trying to study at university，or practicing yoga in a park and trying to ignore stares from strangers，the Focus Cap can help．To be honest，this whole project sounds like a joke，but the Focus Cap does have its own website where people interested in this unusual accessory can actually sign up for updates on when it will go on sale．Greblin claims it will cost 30 euros($37)plus shipping．32．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．When to use the Focus CapB．How to operate the Focus CapC．The Focus Cap—an ordinary accessoryD．The Focus Cap—a nose-cancelling accessory33．Why did Greblin create the Focus Cap?A．To help people focus．B．To develop intelligence．C．To make people comfortable．D．To release creative potential．34．What do we know about the Focus Cap?A．It’s expensive．B．It’s simple．C．It’s delicate．D．It’s complex．35．From the text we can infer that_____________________．A．The Focus Cap simply blocks unwanted soundsB．The Focus Cap can only be used in the officeC．Greblin is confident about the future of his productD．The Focus Cap has been on sale in quantity第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高三年级考试英语试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThe British summer is extremely beautiful．Trees，flowers，birds and butterflies make the whole country like a big garden．However，many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years．What has happened to them?Butterfly Conservation，a charity in the UK，is running a survey to help answer this question．The result is more serious than people expected．According to the survey，among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles，more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining population，including the most popular Meadow Brown．Moreover，half of all butterfly species are on the verge of extinction．Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping dramatically．The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England．The Blue butterfly，which was commonly seen in the south，has started colonizing Edinburgh in the past few years．The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is also degrading．Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers．Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies．Sir David Attenborough，president of Butterfly Conservation，said：“Butterflies in quantity tell us that all is well with nature．When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way．”The survey is still going on．The public is also encouraged to keep track of the UK’s butterfly population．The organisers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK．Butterflies give an indication of the well-being of nature and the environment．21．Why was the survey carried out?A．To find out the reason for the butterflies decline．B．To raise the public awareness of wildlife protection．C．To make sure the number of the existing butterflies．D．To improve the living condition of the butterflies．22．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．Butterflies in the UK will die out soon．B．Other wildlife has faced the same trouble as butterflies．C．Butterflies can indicate the harmony of nature．D．The environment in the UK is heavily polluted．23．What can be the best title of the text?A．The survey of butterfly speciesB．UK butterflies declineC．Butterflies and natureD．The influence of butterflies declineBWhen 6-year-old Jack Foley crossed the finish line last month at the Long BeachKids Triathlon，it was more than an athletic achievement．His completion marked a remarkable recovery from a rare heart condition．The journey began before Jack was born．At a routine 20-week examination，doctors told parents-to-be Rob Foley and Lauren Kiefer-Foley of Long Island，New York，that the fetus’(胎儿的)heart wasn’t properly developing．“The doctor told us，‘we can’t see the left side of the baby’s heart，’”Kiefer-Foley recalled．“He told us，‘you need to get to a cardiologist(心脏病专家)first thing in the morning．’”Further tests would confirm a diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome，a rare birth fault affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body．Doctors informed the couple about the risks and challenges their child could face．“We were advised by many doctors to terminate our pregnancy because the condition is so severe．They told us that most babies don’t even survive birth，let alone the first surgery，”Kiefer-Foley said．Nonetheless，the couple decided to give their baby a chance．After Jack was born at full-term via a scheduled C—section(剖腹产)，doctors took him straight to a care unit to administer the level of care he would need before his first open—heart surgery days later．“When the doctor said‘it’s a boy!’I didn’t get to see him for hours after that．”Kiefer—Foley said．They would also have to wait until after Jack’s first surgery to hold him for the first time．With a successful delivery behind them，it was now up to Dr．Emile Bacha，chief of Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital to guide Jack through a series of surgeries to repair the newborn’s heart．24．Why did the author say“it was more than an athletic achievement”in Paragraph 1? A．Jack was only six years old．B．The event was too difficult．C．Jack once suffered from severe heart disease．D．Jack didn’t recover from severe heart disease．25．What was the bad effect of Jack’s disease?A．It led to inadequate blood supply．B．The beat of heart was not heard．C．The right side of the baby’s heart can’t be seen．D．His intelligence will not develop properly．26．What does the underlined word“terminate”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．continue B．stop C．change D．adjust27．What will most probably be talked about in the next part of the text? A．Jack’s journey a11 over the world．B．The sorrow and despair of Jack’s parents．C．Jack’s major academic achievement．D．Jack’s remarkable recovery from heart disease．CSome experts believe that our attention spans are actually shrinking．We often joke that goldfish have the shortest level of concentration，so much so that they forget what they saw nine seconds earlier．Well now a study says that humans have an even shorter span—just eight seconds．This I can believe—there’s always so much to do and so much to remember that my brain gets overloaded and I find it hard to zero in on one thing．Of course，smartphones，the internet and social media all take up a lot of ourattention．Chicago-based research firm Dscout found that we look at our mobile phones for，on average，2．42 hours every day．It is tempting to keep glancing at our phones when we should be focusing on other things and it’s something we didn’t and couldn’t do before the boom in digital media and smartphones，so maybe that’s why the amount of time we can concentrate has been dropping．A report carried out for Microsoft said the average human attention span in 2000 was 1 2 seconds but has now fallen to just eight seconds．However，a BBC radio programme called More or Less，couldn’t find evidence to back up Microsoft’s report．It spoke to Dr Gemma Briggs，a psychologist at the Open University，who says there are problems with the idea of measuring attention spans and i t’s all down to the individual person，“so attention-switching ability may well have developed in recent years，in the age of the smartphone and the internet．But because someone’s distracted(分心)by their smartphone…it doesn’t mean that they then don’t have th e ability to control and maintain their attention when they carry out another task．”This suggests we’re getting better at switching our attention quickly between different tasks；we can multi—skill better than before so we can achieve more things．This is useful in the modern workplace where we need to turn our hand to many different jobs．28．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A．It’s necessary to stay focused on one thing．B．Humans have shorter attention spans than goldfish．C．Human’s attention spans are shrinking．D．Why goldfish have the shortest level of concentration．29．What led to the shrinking attention span? A．Pressure of life．B．Busy lifestyles．C．Different kinds of noise．D．The boom in modern media and products．30．What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The medium．B．Microsoft’s report．C．Evidence．D．A radio programme．31．According to Dr Gemma Briggs，___________．A．people can measure attention spans accuratelyB．people have the attention—switching ability．C．People can’t control their attention to another taskD．attention—switching ability is useless in the modern workplaceDSchool playground crazes(热潮)come and go but thelatest collectable toy is proving popular with children and adults alike．My kids have gone mad for the plasticspinning disc called a fidget spinner(指尖陀螺)and I have to admit，I’ve become a little addicted too—but why?Fidget spinners have been popular．They were originally designed to help kids with conditions like autism(孤独症)deal with stress but they have become a popular toy and they’re helping reduce my stress levels too—when there’s something on my mind I just spin!So what’s the big deal about these three-pronged pieces of rotating plastic? Well，there are many different designs and colours t o collect and then there’s the challenge of spinning them，getting the speed up，balancing it on the end of your finger．On video-sharing websites，vloggers(博主)have showed millions of views from performingtricks with their fidget spinners．For most school children，they’ve become the latest must-have，although some schools have banned them，saying some are poorly made and can be a distraction for pupils．However, one teacher，Ms Timmons，says that they can aid learning among some children．She says “It is a much less disturbing way to channel their energies into something else while the teaching is going on.Fidget spinners join a long list of other childhood favourites now living in the teacher’s top drawer．It wasn’t long ago when our homes and school playgrounds were littered with loom bands(彩虹橡皮筋)as they suddenly became must—have accessories．Billions of them were sold and then made into various forms of rubbery jewellery．One teacher，Guy Tarrant，has confiscated(没收)numerous items from children over the years．It’s probably fair to say fidget spinners won’t always be flavour of the month．Eventually they’11 be replaced by a new equally addictive and annoying craze．32．For what purpose were fidget spinners originally made?A．To reduce kids’stress levels．B．To get children to amuse themselves．C．To arouse students’interest in study．D．To make kids addicted to play．33．What has made many kids go mad for fidget spinners?A．The raw materials．B．Their shapes and colors．C．Their spinning speed．D．The challenge of playing them．34．Why have some schools banned fidget spinners?A．Some spinners are badly designed．B．They are concerned about students’health．C．Some are of poor quality and bad effect．D．Some kids are always showing off tricks．35．What can we infer from the text?A．Fidget spinners are kids’favourite forever．B．School crazes change with time．C．Adults never play with fidget spinners．D．No new school crazes will appear．第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Among other things, the company will now have to seek consumers’ approval before it changes the way it shares their data. And it has agreed to an independent privacy audit every two years for the next 20 years.There is a clear pattern here. In separate cases over the past couple of years the FTC has insisted that Twitter and Google accept regular 19 audits, too, after each firm was accused of violating its customers’ privacy. The intent seems to be to create a regulatory regime that is tighter than the status quo, 20 one that still gives social networks plenty of room to innovate.1.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C, or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET .(40 points)Text 1Most American movies are produced in Hollywood, California. Hollywood, which is actually not a separate city but a part of Los Angeles, is an ideal spot for the movie industry. The sun shines most of the time, and the climate is mild. Almost every kind of natural scenery is within a few hours’ drive.Hollywood becomes the center of national attention one evening a year－Academy Award night. At the Academy Award presentation held each spring, statuettes called Oscars are given to film industry winners in dozens of categories, including best actor, best actress, and best picture. The winners are chosen by members of the industry before the ceremony, but their names are kept secret until presentation night, when they are announced in a long, nationally televised program.Motion pictures were extremely popular in the United States after World War II, when television captured much of the movie audience. Geared to the masses, Hollywood movies offered much the same type of entertainment as television does. With free entertainment in their homes, many Americans simply stopped going to movies. Between 1946 and 1956, movie attendance was cut in half. At the same time, production costs zoomed. The movie industry was in trouble.The industry adjusted itself in a number of ways. Movie companies rented sound stages to TV companies and sold old movies to TV. To cut costs, Hollywood produced fewer movies and filmed many of them overseas. To lure audiences, the industry invested in new lenses, wider screens, and stereophonic sound. Studios also began producing kinds of entertainment that could not be offered by TV-films with controversial or shocking themes, films with huge casts and lavish settings. As a result of these changes, today the American motion picture industry is thriving.21.What makes Hollywood a great place for American movie industry according to the passage?[A] A famous part of Los Angeles[B] Favorable natural and traffic conditions[C] Natural scenery with mild climate and the shining sun[D] A great industrial base of American22.Which one about Oscars is correct according to the passage?[A] It is the name of a great film figure[B] It is given to World Academy Award in America each year[C] It is a yearly honor to winners in movie industry[D] It doesn’t produce until Academy Award night in each spring23.Why did many Americans like entertaining in homes instead of going to cinema after World War II?[A] Because the quality of film was becoming worse and worse[B] Because Hollywood movies couldn’t offer entertainment similar to television[C] Because the movie industry was in trouble for expensive production cost[D] Because TV’s popularity made them enjoy without paying24.What does the word “zoomed” (in the last sentence of the third paragraph) mean?[A] Moved along very quickly[B] Rose upward into the air[C] Increased high in price[D] Moved with a low humming noise25.The movie industry tried many methods to lure audiences except__________.[A] building commercial relationship with TV companies[B] improving its basic equipment[C] producing films with famous stars in low cost[D] offering types of entertainment different from TVText2The Arctic Ocean has given up tens of thousands more square kilometers of ice in a relentless summer of melt, with scientists watching through satellite eyes for a possible record low polar ice cap.From the barren Arctic shore of a village in Canada’s far northwest, veteran observer Eddie Gruben has seen the summer ice retreating more each decade as the world has warmed. By this weekend the ice edge lay 128 kilometers at sea, but forty years ago, it was 64 kilometers out. Global average temperatures rose 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century, but Arctic temperatures rose twice as much or even faster, almost certainly in large part because of manmade greenhouse gases, researchers say. In late July the mercury soared to almost 86 degrees Fahrenheit in this settlement of 900 Arctic Eskimos.As of Thursday, the U.S. National Snow and Ice Date Center reported, the polar ice cap extended over 6.75 million square kilometers after having shrunk an average 106,000 square kilometers a day in July—equivalent to one Indiana or three Belgiums daily. The rate of melt was similar to that of July 2007, the year when the ice cap dwindled to a record minimum extent of 4.3 million square kilometers in September. In its latest analysis, NSIDC said Arctic atmospheric conditions this summer have been similar to those of the summer of 2007, including a high-pressure ridge that produced clear skies and strong melt in the Beaufort Sea, the arm of the Arctic Ocean off northern Alaska and northwestern Canada.Scientists say the makeup of the frozen polar sea has shifted significantly the past few years,as thick multiyear ice has given way as the Arctic’s dominant form to thin ice that comes and goes with each winter and summer. The past few years have “signaled a fundamental change in the character of the ice and the Arctic climate,” Meier said. Ironically, the summer melts since 2007 appear to have allowed disintegrating but still thick multiyear ice to drift this year into the relatively narrow channels of the Northwest Passage. Usually, impassable channels had been relatively ice-free the past two summers.Observation satellites’remote sensors will tell researchers in September whether the polar cap diminished this summer to its smallest size on record. Then the sun will begin to slip below the horizon for several months, and temperatures plunging in the polar darkness will freeze the surface of the sea again, leaving this and other Arctic coastlines in the grip of ice. Most of the sea ice will be new, thinner and weaker annual formations, however.At a global conference last March in Copenhagen, scientists declared that climate change is occurring faster than had been anticipated, citing the fast-dying Arctic cap as one example. A month later, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted Arctic summers could be almost ice-free within 30 years, not at the century’s end earlier predicted.26.The word “retreating” (Line2, Paragraph2) most probably means________.[A] withdrawing [B] moving back[C] melting [D] treating again27.We may infer from Paragraph 2 and 3 that____________.[A] rising Arctic temperatures result completely from manmade greenhouse gases[B] the summer ice edge was 192 kilometers at sea 40 years ago[C] the polar ice cap was over 6.87million square kilometers in July[D] the ice cap reduced to a record low minimum extent in July28.We may know that summer melts made____________.[A] some impassable channels covered by ice[B] no contribution to the makeup change of polar ice[C] thin ice become multiyear ice[D] the world climate change its character29.We learn from the last two paragraphs that____________.[A] scientists predicted future climate changes accurately[B] the polar cap diminished this summer to its smallest size on record[C] the future ice may be annually formed thinness[D] Arctic summers couldn’t be ice-free until next century30.Which of the following is the best title for this text?[A] Arctic ice lowers to its smallest size[B] Arctic ice disappears under summer sun[C] Why Arctic ice disappears soon[D] Arctic ice closely relates to climate changesText3The classic American identity theft scam works like this: the thief convinces some bank or credit card company he’s actually you and borrows God knows how many dollars in your name. Once you discover and report this, you’re not liable for money the bank lost, but neither are you entitled to compensation for the time and effort you spend straightening the matter out. Bear inmind that when I say “the thief convinces the bank he’s you”, I’m not talking about a brilliant actor and master of disguise who imitates your voice and mannerisms well enough to fool your own mother. No, all that’s necessary to fool a bank is your birth date and US social security number, or just discarded credit card offer taken from your bin.Why are lenders so careless with their money? The snarky answer is: because they know taxpayers will bail them out. But identity theft was a problem in America long before phrases like “too big to fail” entered our vocabulary. I became an identity-theft statistic nine years ago, when I opened my mail to find a bill for a maxed- out credit card I never knew I had. I spent over two weeks cleaning the mess: filing police reports, calling the company, sitting on hold, getting disconnected and calling back to sit on hold again. Considering my salary back then, I spent over a thousand dollars’ worth of my time and wasn't entitled to a penny in damages.It all could easily have been avoided, had the company made a minimal effort to ensure they were loaning money to me rather than my dishonest doppelganger. So why didn't they? Because that would take time -at least a day or two. And if people had to wait a day between applying for and receiving credit, on-the-spot loans would be impossible. Every major retail chain in America pushes these offers: “Apply for a store credit card and receive 15% off your first purchase!” From the lenders’ perspective, writing off a few bad ID-theft debts is cheaper than losing the lucrative “impulse buyer” market.But that would change if companies had to pay damages to identity theft victims. Should they have to? The supreme court of the state of Maine is currently pondering that question. In March 2008 the Hannaford supermarket chain announced that hackers broke into their database and stole the credit card information of over 4 million customers, some of whom sued Hannaford for damages. None of the customers lost money, of course, but they felt-as I did-that their time and effort are worth something too.It’s too early to know how the court will rule, but I’ll make a prediction anyway: nothing will ch ange from the consumers’ perspective, and protecting lenders from their own bad habits will continue to be our unpaid job. When the worldwide economic meltdown started, I naively thought the subsequent tightening of credit lines would at least make identity theft less of a problem than before. But I was just being silly.31.After suffering from identity theft, you_____________.[A] should pay for money the bank lost[B] are required to report to your bank immediately[C] have to assume the cost of getting your identity back[D] won’t have to take any loss caused by it32.What’s the real meaning of “too big to fail” in para. 2?[A] Leaders are so big that they couldn’t fail at all.[B] Leaders won’t pay for their loaning carelessness.[C] Leaders are big enough to pay for any large loans.[D] America is big enough to solve any problems.33. The 3rd paragraph mainly talks about___________.[A] Why companies take efforts to avoid identity theft[B] The reason of companies’ effortlessness to help avoid identity theft[C] The reason of taking time to solve the problem of identity theft[D] The cause of companies offering on-the-spot loans34. The example in the 4th paragraph is cited to show that________.[A] Companies have paid for damages to identity theft victims[B] Customers often suffer from identity theft in America[C]Companies should be responsible for identity theft[D]Companies often suffer from identity theft in America35. What’s the author’s attitude to current solutions to identity theft?[A] Disappointed [B] Confident[C] Complicated [D] OptimisticText4Death is a difficult subject for anyone, but Americans want to talk about it less than most. They have a cultural expectation that whatever may be wrong with them, it can be fixed with the right treatment, and if the first doctor does not offer it they may seek a second, third or fourth opinion. Legal action is a constant threat, so even if a patient is very ill and likely to die, doctors and hospitals will still persist with aggressive treatment, paid for by the insurer or, for the elderly, by Medicare. That is one reason why America spends 18% of its GDP on health care, the highest proportion in the world.That does not mean that Americans are getting the world's best health care. For the past 20 years doctors at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice have been compiling the “Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care”, using Medicare data to compare health-spending patterns in different regions and institutions. They find that average costs per patient during the last two years of life in some regions can be almost twice as high as in others, yet patients in the high-spending areas do not survive any longer or enjoy better health as a result.Ira Byock is the director of palliative medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. His book is a plea for those near the end of their life to be treated more like individuals and less like medical cases on which all available technology must be let loose. With two decades' experience in the field, he makes a good case for sometimes leaving well alone and helping people to die gently if that is what they want.That does not include assisted suicide, which he opposes. But it does include providing enough pain relief to make patients comfortable, co-coordinating their treatment among the different specialists, keeping them informed, having enough staff on hand to see to their needs, making arrangements for them to be cared for at home where possible—and not officiously keeping them alive when there is no hope.But it is not easy to decide when to stop making every effort to save someone's life and allow them to die gently. The book quotes the case of one HIV-positive young man who was acutely ill with multiple infections. He spent over four months in hospital, much of the time on a ventilator, and had countless tests, scans and other interventions. The total bill came to over $1m. He came close to death many times, but eventually pulled through and has now returned to a normal life. It is an uplifting story, but such an outcome is very rare.Dr Byock's writing style is not everybody's cup of tea, but he is surely right to suggest better management of a problem that can only get worse. As life expectancy keeps on rising, so will the proportion of old people in the population. And with 75m American baby-boomers now on the threshold of retirement, there is a limit to what the country can afford to spend to keep them going on and on.36. According to Paragraph 1, the disproportional large spending in health care stems from[A] Americans' failure to admit death as part of their life[B] doctors' inclination to overtreat the patient[C] a culture that is obsessed with youth and health[D] a legal system which has a bias in favor of patients37. The author cited the findings of Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical practice to illustrate that[A] the medical care quality differs widely from region to region[B] there is little that hospitals can do in saving people's lives[C] a lot of medical resources are wasted[D] the American medical system is notorious for its low cost-effectiveness38. The central idea of Ira Byock's book is to appeal to the hospital to[A] save every life with every possible means[B] help people to die if that is his/her will[C] make people feel comfortable in their remaining hours[D] consider whether the cure is worthwhile before conducting it39. In the author's opinion the example of the HIV-positive young man in Paragraph 5[A] eliminates the possibility of applying gentle dying process in medicare[B] is merely an extreme case that should not be taken as a standard[C] emphasizes the importance of aggressive treatment even with slim hope[D] is used as an irony of the current state of American medical system40.

There are two extra items in the subtitles. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)[A] Convincing evidence: US is losing its appeal in the eyes of multinationals[B] Biggest hindrance: US divided political system[C] American future: stuck in the middle[D] Overstated statement: US overall competitiveness is declining[E] V oice of experts: pessimism pervades academic world[F] Economic outlook: bad but not desperate[G] Undisputed fact: US is losing its economic edge41.Is America fading? America has been gripped by worries about decline before, notably in the 1970s, only to roar back. But this time it may be serious. There is little doubt that other countries are catching up. Between 1999 and 2009 America’s share of world exports fell in almost every industry: by 36 percentage points in aerospace, nine in information technology, eight in communications equipment and three in cars. Private-sector job growth has slowed dramatically,and come to a halt in industries that are exposed to global competition. Median annual income grew by an anemic 2% between 1990 and 2010.42.The March issue of the Harvard Business Review is devoted to “American competitiveness”. The Review reports that declinism is prevalent among HBS alumni: in a survey, 71% said that American competitiveness would decline in the coming years.43.America is losing out in the race to attract good jobs. Matthew Slaughter of Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business points out that multinational firms increased employment in America by 24% in the 1990s. But since then they have been cutting back on jobs in America. They have moved dull repetitive tasks abroad, and even some sophisticated ones, too. The proportion of the employees of American multinationals who work for subsidiaries abroad rose from 21.4% in 1989 to 32.3% in 2009. The share of research-and-development spending going to foreign subsidiaries rose from 9% in 1989 to 15.6% in 2009; that of capital investment rose from 21.8% in 1999 to 29.6% in 2009.44.America’s politic al system comes in for particularly harsh criticism: 60% of HBS alumni said that it was worse than those in other advanced countries. David Moss of HBS argues that such complaints are nothing new: American politicians have been squabbling about the role of government ever since Thomas Jefferson butted heads with Alexander Hamilton. But in the past this often led to fruitful compromises. But such compromises are rarer these days. Republicans and Democrats are more ideologically divided, and less inclined to make pragmatic concessions.45.For all this gloom, the Review’s gurus argue that, as Bill Clinton said in his first inaugural address, there is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America. The country has huge strengths, from its world-beating universities to its tolerance of risk-taking. It has a highly diverse market: firms that seek cheap labour can move to Mississippi, where wages are a third lower than those in Massachusetts. Rosabeth Moss Kanter of HBS points to the extraordinary amount of innovation that is going on not just in Silicon Valley but across the country.Yet it is difficult to read this collection of essays without a sense of foreboding. The one thing that worries the HBS alumni more than anything else—the state of American politics—is the most difficult to fix. The political pendulum swings unpredictably, making it hard to plan for the future. Should companies assume that they will have to abide by Mr Obama’s health-care law when it comes into effect in 2014, or will the Republicans have repealed it by then? No one knows.Section III Translation46. Direction:Translate the following text from English into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET .

Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans.

Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding books to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But I’m he re to tell you to stop worrying.What you have is an antilibrary, and it’s a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eco. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react by saying “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others who hold the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the more unread books you will have. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.If you think you already know everything about a subject, you’re cutting yourself off from a stream of information. So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently curious about the unknown. And that attitude provides the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.So don’t feel guilty about your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do need them, and as you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you are using a bigger library. Certain books may become references. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today. Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curi osity. That’s good for you and good for the world around you.（1）What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Feelings of guilt over buying new books.B.A pile of books on the bookshelf.C.The collection of unread books.D.A large personal library.（2）According to the author, more unread books mean ______.A.your wrong lifelong learning attitudeB.you limit yourself off from the unknownC.your have no interest in the new worldD.your strong desire for new information（3）What’s the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary?A.Favorable.B.Doubtful.C.Ambiguous.D.Contradictory.（4）What can we know from the last paragraph?A.Curiosity is a sign of high IQ.B.Books are the ladder in our life.C.Unread books are surely relevant to the bad attitude.D.We should read through every book.【答案】CDAB【考点】推理判断议论文阅读观点态度词义猜测细节理解日常生活类阅读【解析】本文是一篇议论文。

New technologies, however, always are associated with risks -- and these are also seen by laymen," says Christoph Böhmert, first author of the recently published study and researcher of the Science Communication Group of KIT's Institute for German Studies. "It is crucial to enable adequate communication between science and society, which does not only consider scientific findings, but also concerns of the population." The study clearly showed that communication of risks may be complicated sometimes. Information on efficient precautions was found to lead to an increased risk perception by the recipients of the information.In their study, the researchers analyzed communication about a technology that has become indispensable in our life -- mobile communications and the electromagnetic fields (电磁场)on which it is based. All over the world, radiation protection authorities, such as the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection, communicate the current state of research into risks of electromagnetic fields as follows: Investigations made and all findings obtained so far do not allow any conclusions to be drawn with respect to mobile communications being a risk for human health. But, the experts continue, there still are knowledge gaps as regards long-term impacts. Then, measures are recommended to reduce exposure of the individual to electromagnetic fields.It had been known from previous studies already that information on precautions may increase worries. It had been suspected that people conclude from the recommendation of precautions that there really is a risk. This effect was not confirmed by the recent study. The scientists rather attributed the increased worries to a lack of knowledge about the propagation(传播) of electromagnetic fields.Within the framework of the study, the recommended precautions were submitted to 1717 Australians, together with one of six information brochures providing scientific background information. When test persons were given not only the recommendations, but also explained why observation of these tips strongly reduces their exposure to electromagnetic fields, worries increased. For example, scientists explained to the test persons that telephone conversations with a headset largely reduce exposure. When a mobile phone is located ten centimeters instead of just one centimeter away from the ear, the electric power absorbed by the ear is about one hundredth of the initial value. Hence, the own mobile phone usually causes an exposure that by far exceeds that of mobile communicationsstations that are generally referred to as "cellphone towers." While the scientists wanted to explain the effectiveness of precautions, test persons mainly considered this information to be an indication of their mobile phone -- not the transmission towers -- being dangerous. As a result, they perceived increased risk potentials for telephone conversations with their mobile phones."The study reveals that messages on precautions and information are a double-edged sword in terms of subjective risk perception. Their use should be far better understood," Boehmert says.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. Adequate information on efficient precautions can relieve the concerns of the publicB. Mobile communications definitely do harm to people’s health in the long run.C. Information about technologies and their risks may have undesired side effects.D. Observation of the precautions can help reduce the concerns of the public66. According to the passage ,we can conclude that the best way to relieve the inappriate worries is to __________.A. enable the users to know better of science and technology .B. produce new electric products with a lower radiation valueC. provide the public with less information on effective precautionD. inform the public about the potential risks with more patience65. The word “ precaution” ( first appears in paragraph 1)in bold letters has the closets meaning to _______-A. introductionB. intentionC. recommendationD. prevetion66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Science and Technology : A Double –edged SwordB. Technical Innovation : Worries and InformationC. Science and Technology: Security Tips for UsersD. Technical Innovations : Effectiveness of Precautions .Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.To Please Your Friends, Tell Them What They Already Knew The research emeraged out of some real-life observations shared by Gilbert and co-authors Gus Cooney and Timothy D. Wilson：“Conversation is the most common of all human social activities, and doing it well requires that we know what our conversation partners most want to hear.___67___”says psychological scientist Daniel T, Gilbert of Harvard University.“When our friends try to tell us about movies we’ve never seen or albums we’ve never heard, we usually find ourselves bored, confused, and underwhelmed. ___68___. And yet, as soon as it’s our turn to speak, we do exactlly the same thing to our friends –with exactly the same consequences. We wanted to understand why this happens.”Gilbert explains. The researchers decided to do this by conducting a series of experiments.In their first experiment, the researchers assigned participants to groups of three, with one person acting as the speaker and the other two acting as listeners. Speakers watched a video and then tried do describe it to the listeners. Some of thelisteners had seen the video the speakere was describing, and others had not.___69___. When the speakers were done speaking, the listeners rated them on these aspects. The results showed that speakers’ predictions were exactly backwards. Speakers expected listeners to respond more positively to their stories when the listeners had not seen the video they were describing ___70___. Although speakers expected listeners to enjoy hearing about a novel experience more than a familiar one, it was actually the other way around.A second study showed that when asked to predict their own reactions before hearing the story, listeners made the same mistake that speakers did.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Moving My CurfewFor some time now , I have had an 8:00 p.m. curfew ---the time by which I have to be at home , even on weekends. When I was younger , I didn’t really complain . Bu t now I have reached an age when this curfew is no longer suitable . For several reasons , it is clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.First of all , I ’m soon going to be an adult , like all teenagers , I need practice handling the greater freedom that goes along with being an adult . When teenagers don’t get practice handling freedom , they often make many serious mistakes. For example , some teenagers go away to college and suddenly they don’t know how to handle it , and they get into trouble . Ibelieve it is better to increase freedom gradually . That may the teenager learners how to handle freedom responsibly . I believe I could handle a later curfew without making serious mistakes in judgment.A later curfew is also important to me because I’m an active student . As you know , I am often on the committee in charge of running extra-curricular activities .Because of my present curfew , I have to finish school activities over an hour before they are over. Others students must take over for me when I leave . A 10:00 curfew would allow me to stay until the end of school functions and give me enough time to get home without rushing .Finally , I am a teenager who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew . I know that many teenagers cannot handle much responsibility . However , I am clearly not that kind of teenager. I have proven myself to be a very responsible person . For example , I have never been in serious trouble , either at school or in the company . I also hold a part-time job and still manage to maintain a “B” average in school . In other words , I am a person who uses my time wisely , meets responsibilities an stays out of trouble .V.
