Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of sci-fi readers.Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no troubleoutwitting (骗过) his high school's monitoring system. This way he and his friends get to head off toplay a popular online game in real life.While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears.When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many "security measures" in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as acitizen.He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth,anonymously (匿名地).The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.56. What kind of article does this passage belong to?A. A fascinating story.B. A book review.C. News reportD. A TV programme57. The underlined word destruction in the passage means .A. damageB. rewardC. ruinD. protection58. Marcus Yallow was sent to prison because .A. he killed his friendB. he bombed a military vehicleC. he did something that a possible terrorist could doD. his injured friend disappeared59. From the second paragraph we can infer that Marcus Yallow .A. is much more comfortable obeying the rules of societyB. is smart, fast and wise in real lifeC. always plays online games in real lifeD. is expert at the network world60. In the end of the book, Marcus Yallow .A. is supposed to be more irresponsibleB. becomes aware of very serious issues about his societyC. presents a young man who is irresponsibleD. plays a popular online game in real lifeBWhen an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses. This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect.The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which is named after Catherine “Kitty" Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, shewas attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese'srepeated cries for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help. The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police.Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all ofthose present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate.Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is ambiguous. In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.61. The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect because a woman surnamed Genovese.A. it somehow caused the murder ofB. its discovery resulted from the murder ofC. it was actually discovered byD. it always makes people think of62. Genovese was murdered .A. while she was going outB. in her apartmentC. halfway homeD. near her apartment63. Which can NOT have been a possible reason for the neighbors NOT offering Genovese help?A. They believed in the bystander effect.B. They thought someone else might help her.C. They didn't think they should help.D. They didn't think she needed help.64. Before deciding to offer help, observers may , according to the psychologists.A. wait for sort of a signalB. hesitate and estimate the risk of getting hurtC. want to be sure it's appropriate to reactD. wonder if the victim is worth helping65. The article seems to suggest that, if there had been observers, Genovese might not have been murdered.A. noB. fewerC. moreD. braverCFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict, "he jokes." I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today David wears casual clothes – khaki pants and sports shirt – to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday, but only on Friday. This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday." "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing." said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale(士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity.Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said. "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."66. David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict," because .A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn't stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn't want to spend much money on clothes67. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company68. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A. Many employees don't like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.69. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. "Dress-down Friday" was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.70. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned except.A. saving employees' moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improving employees' motivationD. making employees happierDChinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as "geilivable" might find a new regulation very "ungeilivable".The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language."Geilivable", combining the pinyin geili (giving strength) with the English suffix (后缀) foradjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool". Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word. "Hengeilivable" means "very cool", and "ungeilivable" means "dull, not cool at all".Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society. One example is "antizen", which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants.David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it's very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words. "English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people. They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences," Tool said.At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern."The administration is totally 'ungeilivable'," said a netizen named laoda1713. "I know other netizens will shed tears with me... it is a good chance to enrich our language"."Language is always developing," said a columnist, Wang Pei. "It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom."But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions. The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication.71. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at .A. simplifying the Chinese languageB. limiting the development of languageC. banning the use of ChinglishD. making the netizens more serious72. The underlined word meager in the third paragraph probably means .A. poorB. flexibleC. highD. plentiful73. From this passage we can infer that .A. the Chinese people like their own language onlyB. the English words are considered informal in ChinaC. nobody in China will support the new regulationD. "geilivable" will be popular among Chinese netizens74. Which may be the title of this passage?A. New regulation is announcedB. Cyber words make language livelyC. Different views about cyber languageD. New phenomenon in China75. On which column of China Daily can you find this passage?A. EntertainmentB. BusinessC. TravelD. Opinion第II卷（共35分）第四部分写第一节任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）The good news: Your son or daughter has graduated from college. The potentially bad news: Due to job losses, the pressure of student loan debt or some other factors, he/she has to return home, living with you.A recent survey has found that almost one-in-five grown children (aged 18-34) now live with their parents. And of those children, about a-third say they used to live independently elsewhere beforereturning home. The phenomenon has become known as “The Boomerang Generation” (回巢族).Don’t worry. From a positive angle, you may find you can actually do a lot to keep harmony in the household and make this tricky time manageable, even beneficial for all involved. When your child comes back, he/she can be a source of social support. He/She can help out economically. And you really get a chance to establish a different relationship—as adults.It’s important to know how long this kind of situation will last. This can be discussed with your family members, but it’s essential that everyone understands the arrangement. It’s also important to set a goal for your graduated child to help him/her find a suitable job.Everyone should keep the household rules. College kids are used to doing what they want. So let your child know your expectations for household chores, overnight guests, noise and so on. You can list something that you can never accept.It is absolutely OK for parents to charge rent. If a grown child is able to pay rent, he/she should be asked to pay some. This can also include electricity, water or other benefits he/she is enjoying. If you feel it uncomfortable to take money from your child, you can collect rent money and return it to him/her when he/she leaves, to help him/her in his/her new home.Avoid falling into traditional parent-child roles. This is difficult, but parents should not do traditional things such as lending your grown child money or doing his/her laundry or cleaning any more. Your child has grown up; he/she is no longer a teenager.At last, parents should not get overly involved in your c hild’s lives and personal relationships. Parents need to respect your child’s growing independence. Creating a dictatorship (独裁) doesn’t help him/her grow as a self-reliant individual.A problem Your child move back home after graduation, (76) ________ to live on his/her own.(77) ________why your child comes back ♦Job losses;♦Pressure of student loan debt; ♦Other factors.Present situation ♦Almost (78) ______ grown children now live with their parents.♦The phenomenon has become known as “The Boomerang Generation”.(79) ________to parentsEstablish adeadline♦Let everyone understand the arrangement;♦Set a job-hunting(80) ______ for your child.Clarify house rules♦Set(81) ________ for household chores, overnight guests,noise and so on;♦List things your child should never do.Charge(82)_______♦Ask your child to pay some rent;♦Collect rent money and (83)_________it to your childwhen he/she leaves.Avoid falling intoold roles ♦Don’t lend money to your child;♦Don’t do (84) ________ for him/her.Don’t over-parent ♦Respect your child’s (85) _________ and independence.第二节书面表达（满分25分）请根据以下提示，用英语介绍电视的优劣。
