(10 points)Insomniacs(someone who cannot sleep easily)don’t just suffer at night. During the day, they often feel sleepy, have trouble concentrating and report greater difficulty with work or school performance than individuals who get adequate sleep. But researchers are intrigued by an apparent【C1】______: Despite what insomnia patients experience subjectively, they often seem able to【C2】______cognitive tasks as well as people getting adequate sleep. One【C3】______is that insomnia doesn’t lead to【C4】______performance after all—maybe it just feels that way. Using brain imaging technology, researchers【C5】______25 people with insomnia and 25 normal sleepers as they performed an eight-minute working-memory task【C6】______the processing and storing of short-term memory. As the exercises became more difficult, the people who sleep【C7】______had increased activity in parts of the brain【C8】______the insomnia subjects didn’t. And the poor sleepers couldn’t turn off the brain’s “mind wandering”regions, also known as the “【C9】______mode”network, located generally【C10】______the brain’s midline. These regions are ordinarily active when a person isn’t【C11】______in goal-directed behavior and they are【C12】______when the person switches to a task. The more the insomnia patients subjectively reported【C13】______and difficulty concentrating, and the 【C14】______they subjectively reported performing their task, the greater was their 【C15】______to turn off the mind wandering regions, as measured by the MRI. “There’s no doubt that what’s going on in the brain could be measured as less【C16】______,”experts said. More research is needed to understand how insomnia patients were able to【C17】______and perform the tasks equally well despite the apparent【C18】______in brain activity. The ultimate goal of this kind of research is to 【C19】______the environmental and genetic causes of insomnia and develop【C20】______treatments.1.【C1】A.agreementB.attentionC.contradictionD.contact正确答案:C解析:冒号后的内容是对空格内名词进行的解释或说明。

Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.Anonymity is not something which was invented with the Internet. Anonymity and pseudonymity has occurred throughout history. For example, William Shakespeare is probably a pseudonym, and the real name of this __1__ author is not known and will probably never be known.Anonymity has been used for many purposes. A well-known person may use a pseudonym to write messages, where the person does not want people´s__2__of the real author__3__their perception of the message. Also other people may want to__4__certain information about themselves in order to achieve a more __5__ evaluation of their messages. A case in point is that in history it has been__6__that women used male pseudonyms, and for Jews to use pseudonyms in societies where their __7__ was persecuted. Anonymity is often used to protect the __8__ of people, for example when reporting results of a scientific study, when describing individual cases.Many countries even have laws which protect anonymity in certain circumstances. For instance, a person may, in many countries, consult a priest, doctor or lawyer and__9__personal information which is protected. In some__10__, for example confession in catholic churches, the confession booth is specially__11__to allow people to consult a priest,__12__seeing him face to face.The anonymity in__13__situations is however not always 100%. If a person tells a lawyer that he plans a__14__crime, some countries allow or even__15__that the lawyer tell the__16__. The decision to do so is not easy, since people who tell a priest or a psychologist that they plan a crime, may often do this to__17__their feeling more than their real intention.Many countries have laws protecting the anonymity of tip-offs to newspapers. It is regarded as__18__that people can give tips to newspapers about abuse, even though they are dependent__19__the organization they are criticizing and do not dare reveal their real name. Advertisement in personal sections in newspapers are also always signed by a pseudonym for__20__reasons.第1题A.strangeB.ordinaryC.ridiculousD.famous第2题A.preconceptionB.worshipC.admirationD.discrimination第3题A.colorB.destroyC.distinguishD.prefer第4题A.showB.concealC.cancelD.distain第5题A.funnyB.unbiasedC.freshD.straight第6题A.surprisingmonC.acknowledgedD.unbelievable 第7题A.religionB.beliefC.ideaD.synagogue第8题A.possessionB.honorC.privacyD.reputation第9题A.requireB.disperseC.revealD.get第10题A.countriesB.filesC.regionsD.cases第11题A.cleanedB.putC.designedD.automated第12题A.beforeB.afterC.withD.without第13题A.confessionalB.churchC.otherD.private第14题A.casualB.seriousC.mediumD.temporary第15题A.begB.pleadC.appealD.require第16题A.policeB.confessorC.bossD.priest第17题A.keepB.leakC.intensifyD.express第18题A.insultingB.importantC.forgivableD.proud第19题A.ofB.amongC.onD.within第20题A.unknownB.strikingC.obviousD.intimate下一题(21~25/共20题)Section ⅡReading Comprehension Directions :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.I can tap my smartphone and a cab will arrive almost immediately. Another tap will tell me the latest news, value my share portfolio or give me route directions to my next meeting. As a result, I do not need to stand on a street corner vainly trying to hail a taxi to the theatre, lose myself in London streets. The changes that have occurred in the past decade have, from an economic perspective, increased at virtually no cost the efficiency of household production.The data framework within which economic analysis is conducted is largely the product of the second world war. In the 1930s American economist Simon Kuznets began to elaborate a system of national accounts. That work was given impetus when the war led governments to take control of important sectors of economic activity. It was soon realized that this required far better data than had previously existed, which in turn raised the challenge of how best to structure such information.Household production—women´ s work as homemakers—did not have much of a look-in; that was not the front line against fascism. The joke about the man who reduced national income by marrying his housekeeper, so that a market transaction became part of household production, was once a mandatory part of every introductory course on national income accounting but has succumbed to political correctness.Technological advance has always enhanced household as well as business efficiency. Our domestic productivity has benefited from washing machines, vacuum cleaners and central heating, and before that from electric light and automobiles. But at least these things were partially accounted for: from an economic perspective a car is a faster and cheaper horse. Statisticians in principle incorporated these improvements in the efficiency of consumer goods into their measurement of productivity, though in practice they did not try very hard.But the technological advances of the past decade seem to have increased the efficiency of households, rather than the efficiency of businesses, to an unusual extent. An ereader in the pocket replaces a roomful of books, and all the world´ s music is streamed to my computer. We look at aggregate statistics and worry about the slowdown in growth and productivity. But the evidence of our eyes seems to tell a different story.第21题It can be implied from the first paragraph that______.A.a new smartphone is createdB.the new smartphone has changed people´ s lifeC.there are many changes in the past decadeD.economically speaking, the changes have improved the efficiency of household production第22题Creating the system of national accounts was given impetus when______.ernments controlled the important sectors of economic activity during the warB.people realized this demanded far better dataC.it began to raise the challenge of how best to structure such informationD.it needed more data than before第23题The phrase "succumbed to" is closest in meaning to______.A.turned toB.submitted toC.gave upD.sent out第24题Which of the following is NOT true according to Paragraph 4?A.Technological advance has always improved the business efficiency.B.Our domestic productivity has benefited from technological advance.C.Statisticians in practice tried very hard as they did in principle.D.In principle, the statisticians should consider these improvements in the efficiency of consumer goods when they measure productivity.第25题According to the last paragraph, the author believes______.A.the technological advances have an unusual effect on people´ s lifeB.the technological advances bring treats to real storesC.we don´t need to be worried about the slowdown in growth and productivityD.the evidence in life seems to be disadvantageous上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Although Consumers Union concedes that "no confirmed cases of harm to humans from manufactured nanoparticles have been reported", it adds that "there is cause for concern based on several worrisome findings from the limited laboratory and animal research so far." It worries that particles that are nontoxic at normal sizes may become toxic when nanosized; that these nanoparticles, which are already present in cosmetics and food, can more easily "enter the body and its Vital organs, including the brain", than normal particles; and that nanomaterials will linger longer in the environment. All of this really comes down to pointing out that some particles are smaller than others. Size is not a reliable indicator of potential harm to human beings, and nature itself is filled with nanoparticles. But the default assumption of danger from the new is palpable. Anti-nanotech sentiment has not been restricted to Consumers Union´s relatively short list of concerns. In France, groups of hundreds of protesters have rallied against even such benign manifestations of the technology as the carbon nanotubules that allow Parkinson´ s sufferers to stop tremors by directing medicine to their own brains. In England members of a group called THRONG (The Heavenly Righteous Opposed to Nanotech Greed) have disrupted nanotech business conferences dressed as angels. In 2005 naked protesters appeared in front of an Eddie Bauer store in Chicago to condemn one of the more visible uses of nanotech: stain-resistant pants.These nanopants employ billions of tiny whiskers to create a layer of air above the rest of the fabric, causing liquids to roll off easily. It´s not quite what Kurzweil and Crichton had in mind, nor is it "little robots in your pants", as CNN put it. But nanotechnology arguably embraces any item that incorporates engineering at the molecular level, including mundane products like this one. Just as the nano label can be broadly applied to products for branding and attention-grabbing purposes, so too can critics use the label to condemn barely related developments by linkingthem to the (still hypothetical) problems of nanopollution and gray goo. But there´s a danger in thinking of nanotech only in god-or-goo terms. People at both extremes of the controversy fail to appreciate the humble, incremental, yet encouraging progress that nanotech researchers are making. And focusing on dramatic visions of nanotech heaven or hell may foster restrictions that delay or block innovations that can extend and improve our lives.第26题What worries Consumers Union is that nanoparticles______.A.become essential components of cosmetics and foodB.linger in environment and are omnipresent in natureC.present in products may cause harm to human beingsD.can enter the brain more easily than normal particles第27题The word "palpable" in the last sentence of the first paragraph most probably means______.A.detectableB.availableC.understandableD.tangible第28题The example of carbon nanotubules is cited to show that______.A.even potential benefit of nanotech may cause worryB.anti-nanotech sentiment predominates in FranceC.Consumers Union´s worry about nanotech is negligibleD.nanotech relieves the pain of Parkinson´s sufferers第29题It seems that nanopants______.A.initiate engineering at the molecular levelB.tend to provoke anti-nanotech sentimentC.are as ordinary as any mundane productD.are not as harmful as some people think第30题The author argues that nanotech is______.A.neither inferior nor superiorB.neither credible nor reliableC.neither god nor devilD.neither harmful nor beneficial上一题下一题(31~35/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.We all know (or should know) by now that the carbon dioxide we produce when we burn fossil fuels and cut down forests is the planet´s single largest contributor to global warming. It persists in the atmosphere for centuries. Reducing these emissions by as much as half by 2050 is essential to avoid disastrous consequences by the end of this century, and we must begin immediately.But this is a herculean undertaking, both technically and politically. There is, however, a short-term strategy. We can slow this warming quickly by cutting emissions of four other climate pollutants: black carbon, a component of soot; methane, the main component of natural gas; lower-level ozone, a main ingredient of urban smog; and hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, which are used as coolants. They account for as much as 40 percent of current warming.We can reduce black carbon emissions significantly in the next few decades by using particulate filters on cars and trucks and switching to low-sulfur diesel. By employing those strategies, California, for instance, has cut the warming effect from diesel emissions by nearly half since the late 1980s. In addition, we can further reduce emissions of black carbon and carbon monoxide (which produces lower-level ozone) in the developing world simply by turning to efficient biomass cook stoves instead of using traditional mud stoves, by replacing kerosene lamps in villages with solar lamps, and by deploying modern brick kilns.Methane emissions can be cut by nearly a third by reducing leaks from gas pipes, coal mines and hydraulic fracturing, by capturing methane from waste dumps, water treatment plants and manure, and by cutting emissions from rice paddies.These reductions in methane, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds would also significantly reduce lower-level ozone, which is another important climate-warming pollutant that is formed by the interaction of sunlight with other short-lived pollutants.And HFCs, which are widely used in refrigerators, can be replaced with readily available climate-friendly refrigerants. Nearly 100 ozone-depleting chemicals have been phased out under the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty that took effect in 1989 , and more than 100 countries support a shift to the safer HFC alternatives. Phasing down HFCs would provide climate protection many times greater than the current Kyoto climate treaty—the equivalent of about 100 billion tons of carbon dioxide by 2050.Unlike carbon dioxide, these pollutants are short-lived in the atmosphere. If we stop emitting them, they will disappear in a matter of weeks to a few decades. These reductions would also prevent an estimated two to four million deaths from air pollution and avoid billions of dollars of crop loss annually, according to a study commissioned by the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization.第31题The word "herculean"(Line 1, Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to______.A.powerfulB.easyC.gloriousD.difficult第32题Cutting emissions of which one of the following pollutants dose not belong to the short-term strategy to deal with global warming?A.Methane and lower-level ozone.B.HFCs.C.Carbon dioxide.D.Black carbon.第33题According to the paragraph 3, California has cut the warming effect from diesel emissionsby______.A.deploying modern brick kilnsB.replacing kerosene lamps in villages with solar lampsC.turning to efficient biomass cook stoves instead of using traditional mud stovesing particulate filters on cars and trucks and switching to low-sulfur diesel第34题The reason why the four other climate pollutants can disappear in a matter of weeks is that______.A.they are short-lived in the atmosphereB.more than 100 countries support a shift to the safer HFC alternativesC.nearly 100 ozone-depleting chemicals have been phased out under the Montreal ProtocolD.they account for as much as 40 percent of current warming第35题It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that______.A.Kyoto climate treaty is not as effective as Montreal ProtocolB.international treaties are effective in the fight against climate changeC.phasing down HFCs would provide the greatest climate protection of all waysD.most countries are willing to participate and comply with Kyoto climate treaty上一题下一题(36~40/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Players of FarmVille, an online game, raise virtual chickens on an imaginary farm. Yet they are happy to swap real money for virtual money to buy virtual farm tools. And investors are likely to pay more than chicken feed for shares in Zynga, the firm that makes FarmVille and other online games.Zynga is expected to file soon for an initial public offering (IPO). Analysts predict that the firm will be valued at between $ 15 billion and $ 20 billion. That is about as much as the world´s two biggest videogame makers (Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard) combined.More than 271m people play Zynga´s games at least once a month, and the firm said in March that it expects to make a profit this year of $ 630m on revenues of $ 1.8 billion. So its business is more real than those of some other online firms. But it is not something a sober investor would bet the farm on. Users may tire of virtual vegetables and online Mafia Wars (another popular Zynga´s game). Rivals are straining to grab Zynga´ s players. Electronic Arts, Playdom and Wooga have only about 30m monthly active users each, but they may catch up.What is more, Zynga depends on two other firms, Amazon and Facebook, like the cabbage crop depends on the rain. Although it operates data centers of its own, it outsources much of its computing to Amazon Web Services, the cloud-computing arm of the online shopping giant. More importantly, most users play Zynga´s games on Facebook. In September the social network pushed Zynga into using its virtual currency, called "Facebook Credits", so Facebook gets 30% of what Zynga´s users spend.With Zynga gearing up for its IPO, the question now is which other tech start-up is next in line to go public. With Groupon, an online coupon service, also about to float, the supply of hotstocks is running low.But Silicon Valley venture capitalists are busy replenishing the pool. On June 24th it emerged that Foursquare, a location-based service, had raised $50m, a deal which values it at $ 600m. Foursquare lets users electronically "check in" at bars and restaurants so their friends can join them—and the people who owe them money can avoid them. A few days later investors pumped $ 100m into Square, a mobile-payments start-up, valuing it at $ 1 billion. Neither firm has ever turned a profit.第36题According to the first paragraph, the investors are willing to______.A.buy game tools on FarmVilleB.purchase more chicken feed onlineC.spend lots of money on Zynga´s stocksD.change real money into virtual money第37题Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the third paragraph?A.Players may get bored with Zynga´s online games.B.The income of Zynga may be $ 1.8 billion this year.C.Zynga´s competitors make their efforts to get its players.D.Wooga developed the online Mafia Wars to beat Zynga.第38题Amazon and Facebook mentioned in Paragraph 4 are used to conclude that______.A.the competitive situation stimulates ZyngaB.the dependent relationship hinders ZyngaC.they have full control over ZyngaD.they provide strong back-ups for Zynga第39题According to the text, Foursquare is a website that______.A.can show the location of users to others onlineB.has got $ 600m from the venture capitalistsC.can help people make friends with strangersD.can help users find ideal bars and restaurants第40题What does the author indicate in the last paragraph?A.Neither Foursquare nor Square has got any profit up to now.B.Zynga has developed faster than Foursquare and Square.C.The high-tech companies are easy to attract large sums of investment.D.The expanding tech bubble affects the development of Internet companies.上一题下一题(41~45/共5题)Part BDirections :Read the following tert and decide whether each of the statements is true or false.

Designed as an online photo album, users buy space for friends at $ 10 per portrait. The funds go to an organisation called charity: water, which has since 2006 collected over $40m, much of it online. Other charities are eager to exploit the fund-raising potential of social media. Nine out of ten non-profits in America have a presence on Facebook according to the latest Nonprofit Social Network Benchmark (NSNB) report, a survey of nearly 11,200 non-profit professionals.The Internet abounds with social-networking tools raising money for good works, such as Causes (an application on Facebook) , Crowdrise and Network for Good. These sites and platforms let users connect with charities and each other, plan events, donate directly or create projects to fund-raise among friends. On Causes, for example, participants can use a birthday to rally friends to give to a particular charity.But social media are no gold mine for do-gooders. Fewer than half the non-profits surveyed in the NSNB report got more than $ 10,000 a year from Facebook, and only 0.4% reported raising $ 100,000 or more. A survey by Blackbaud, a software and service provider for charities, predicts a rise in donations in 2012, but no significant gains from social media. Traditional fund-raising, using direct mail and events, is far more effective than newer methods, such as e-mail and social networking.The charities that raise a lot from social media vary widely in size and budgets. But each has an average Facebook following of nearly 100,000, more than 15 times the norm, according to the NSNB report. They also now dedicate lots of staff time to social media and have carefully followed the success of their fund-raising.Allison Fine, co-author of a book called The Networked Nonprofit, argues that social media offer a handy, low-cost way to build a network of supporters who share ideas and information. But donations come only when the bonds are strong and the network is big. The most successful charities tend to show donors what their funding will achieve. Charity: water counts the number of wells dug and rainwater catchments built. DonorsChoose, another online charity, has raised more than $ 101 m by letting people fund projects at American public schools."A lot of charities may feel like it´s slow going," says Katie Bisbee of DonorsChoose. She adds that fan pages are good for relationships, but for fund-raising the most profitable tool is to get donors to share news of their donation on their own Facebook page. Through the social network, DonorsChoose raised $ 2m in the 2010-2011 school year.This belies the charge that networked do-gooders are " slacktivists ". So too does a study from Georgetown University and Ogilvy PR, a public-relations firm, which finds that Americans who back causes through social media are often active in other ways too. So a campaign that does not raise money at first may still lure supporters and potential future donors.图片第41题___________第42题_________第43题______第44题第45题________上一题下一题(1/1)Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. (10 points)第46题Expectations surrounding education have spun out of control. On top of a seven-hour school day, our kids march through hours of nightly homework, daily sports practices and band rehearsals, and weekend-consuming assignments and tournaments. Each activity is seen as a step on the ladder to a top college, an enviable job and a successful life. Children living in poverty who aspire to college face the same daunting admissions arms race, as well as the burden of competing for scholarships, with less support than their privileged peers. Even those not bound for college are ground down by the constant measurement in schools under pressure to push through mountains of rote, impersonal material as early as preschool. Yet instead of empowering them to thrive, this drive for success is eroding children´s health and undermining their potential. Modern education is actually making them sick. Working together, parents, educators and students can make small but important changes. ____________上一题下一题(1/1)Section WritingPart A第47题Suppose you have damaged your friend´ s computer when you lived in his house a few days ago.
