Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors.Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap;instead,it fell into another one,depicting George Washington as black.Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses,which turned out to be just as surprising.Gemini declined to write a job ad for a fossil fuel lobby group(游说团体),because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize“the interests of corporations over public well-being”.Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization,it replied that the conflict in Gaza is“complex”;asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was“difficult to say”.You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.Inadequate testing may be partly to blame Google lags behind OpenAI,maker of the better-known ChatGPT.As it races to catch up,Google may have taken short cuts.Other chatbots have also had controversial launches Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover their faults,which can be swiftly addressed,lets firms move fester,if they are prepared to endure the potential risks and bad publicity,observes Ethan Mollick,a professor at Wharton Business School.But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted to produce these responses.This raises questions about Google’s culture.Is the firm so financially secure,with vast profits from Internet advertising,that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering?Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity,but a responsibility,to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda?All eyes are now on Google’s boss.Sundar Pichai.He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?8．What was the problem of Google Gemini in the first paragraph?A．Having a racial prejudice.B．Responding to wrong texts.C．Criticizing political figures.D．Going against historical facts.9．What is Paragraph2mainly about?A．Gemini’s bias in text responses.B．Gemini’s refusal to make progress.C．Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.D．Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.10．What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?A．Creative.B．Promising.C．Illegal.D．Controversial.11．What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph:A．Its security is doubted.B．It lacks financial support.C．It needs further improvement.D．Its employees are irresponsible.As awareness of climate change grows,so does the desire to do something about it.One way to gain a quantifiable (可量化的)understanding of the impacts of our actions,for good and bad,is through what is known as a carbon footprint.While the concept is gaining traction,it is not always fully understood.According to Mike Berners-Lee,a professor at Lancaster University in the UK and author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything,a carbon footprint is“the sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions that had to take place in order for a product to be produced or for an activity to take place.”What steps a person can take to reduce their personal footprint depends on the kind of lifestyle they presently live, and the same actions are not equally effective for everyone.Berners-Lee notes that,“for some people,flying may be10 percent of their footprint,for some people it’s zero,and for some it’s such a huge number.that it should be the only thing they should be thinking about.”It isn’t easy to calculate a carbon footprint.The earliest such calculator is thought to have appeared in2004as part of the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP,which makes observers criticize the pressure to reduce personal carbon footprints as an indication that climate change is not the fault of an oil giant,but hat of individuals.“I would say personal carbon footprint calculators are a useful tool to assess the impact of your immediate actions.”Berners-Lee says.“But what’s much more important than your personal carbon footprint is your climate shadow,which aims to paint a picture of the full sum of one’s choices and the impact they have on the planet.For example,how you vote,where you work.how you invest your money,and how much you talk about climate change.”12．What does the underlined word“traction”in paragraph1probably mean?A．Control.B．Insight.C．Attention.D．Power.13．How does Berners-Lee explain his opinion according to paragraph3?A．By presenting a fact.B．By giving suggestions.C．By clarifying a concept.D．By making a comparison.14．What is the observers’attitude to the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP?A．Unclear.B．Favorable.C．Tolerant.D．Disapproving.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Tools are more important than choices.B．Climate shadow covers a broad range of actions.C．Calculating carbon footprint is the most effective.D．Only individuals are responsible for climate change.For decades,doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart.Heart attack has long been considered a grown-up problem.16Eating too much salty food when you're young can lead to healthproblems later.Salt is made up of two elements:sodium and chlorine伟内禾口氯）.Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged9-13shouldn't consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily.17This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood.To pump the extra blood,the heart has to work harder.This causes a rise in blood pressure一-a measurement of how stressed the heart is.High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure.18British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy（碳酸）drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight,become obese and develop high blood pressure.19A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones（肾结石）.This painful condition usually affects people aged over40.Now,kids as young as five are getting it.Cutting down on salt can be hard,but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food.The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually.20Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions.And go easy on the condiments（调味品）.You might also want to start reading nutrition labels.You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger,and over2,000mg in many frozen meals.A．Salt isn't the only cause of diseases.B．The average American eats twice this amount.C．Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight.D．Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity.E．But new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children.F．Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do.G．Cutting down on salt now can lower a person's risk of heart disease.二、完形填空History has not yet21what we will definitively call the post millennial cohort(2000年后出生的人)that now22more than60million people in the U.S.These kids and23with no concept of life24 the Internet have so far been called the App Generation and Generation Z.They’ve been referred to as Homelanders, having grown up under the ghost of terrorism.They’ve also been25the Plurals for their historic diversity,as well as the Founders,at least by MTV.Whatever we26naming them,marketer and academies are turning their attention to this group,which has billions in27and is already shaping the culture.This generation is growing up“totally and utterly connected”says California State University psychologist Larry Rosen.Experts like Rosen have concerns about these kids’Google-inspired expectations that everything be28.They worry about their inability to29even five seconds of boredom.And they worry about the demands that come with30several identities online, from Facebook to Twitter to Snapchat.“There’s so much pressure on young people,who are still31their identities,to present this crystallized,idealized identity online,”says the University of Washington’s Katie Davis.Historian Neil Howe sees32with the Silent Generation,the spoilt risk-avoiding“nice”generation of kids who grew up during the Great Depression and World-War II,although some marked differences are found.Today’s youths are also coming of age among geopolitical trouble and fears about the economy,he says,33schools emphasize an intense far-reaching sensitivity to other kids.He suspects this34will be known for being well behaved and perhaps boring the culture by playing it safe.“There are typical examples that occur repeatedly,”Howe says, "even if they go by different35.”21．A．remarked B．convinced C．revealed D．guaranteed22．A．numbers B．houses C．accommodates D．contains23．A．peers B．fellows C．folks D．adolescents24．A．over B．without C．besides D．beyond25．A．diagnosed B．dismissed C．labeled D．coined26．A．end up B．consider about C．appeal for D．approve of27．A．distribution force B．global view C．purchasing power D．unique outlooks 28．A．vivid B．instructive C．profitable D．instant29．A．feed up with B．put up with C．make up for D．break up with30．A．mixing B．revising C．illustrating D．maintaining 31．A．supervising B．promoting C．representing D．forming32．A．parallels B．contrasts C．comparisons D．reservations33．A．because B．as C．while D．unless34．A．generation B．emphasis C．intensity D．cultivation35．A．routes B．schemes C．names D．definitions三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.After coming to China,I experienced authentic Chinese food.In Beijing,the chef in a Sichuan restaurant offered us the36(please)of experiencing wonderful and different food besides friendship.In Xinjiang,their traditional foods are those37(cook)over an open fire.The kinds of food local people consume tell us a lot about themselves;therefore,we can say culture and cuisine go hand in hand,which are both worth38(experience).阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.For first-degree burns,first,place burns under cool running water,especially within the first ten minutes.Second, dry the burnt area39(gentle)with a clean cloth.Meanwhile,remove any clothes using scissors if necessary,unless you see the fabric40(stick)to the burnt skin.Then cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth.Don’t apply oil41the injured areas,as it will keep the heat in the42(wound)and may cause infection.阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.They flew to Vancouver and then took the train.One of the first stops was in Edmonton,43center of Canada’s huge oil and gas44(drill)industry.After another day on the train,eventually they were back in the city of Winnipeg.

WRITINGPART VI WRITING1．Read carefully the following excerpt on garbage classification and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should: - summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then - comment on whether individuals and companies should be punished for incorrectly disposing of garbage. You should support yourself with information from the excerpt. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Greater Public Participation Needed to Sort Garbage Correctly Residents will be fined 50 yuan maximum and organizations not more than 50,000 yuan for not throwing rubbish correctly in Guangzhou, capital of south China’s Guangdong province. The regulation will take effect on Sep. 1 this year. An official with the local city planning management sector said that the organizations that fail to correctly dispose of garbage will be fined in the grace period, but individuals violating the rules will not be punished. Property management companies worried about the effective implementation of the regulation, saying that they can only encourage or persuade residents to put waste in the right places but they are not able to fine the violators. They have to pay more money to hire cleaners to relocate the rubbish to the right places, which means the property management fees will accordingly rise. Currently the law enforcement department is only responsible for supervising whether the waste in the residential areas is correctly disposed, and as for how to require individuals to handle garbage classification, it is up to the property management companies. This seems to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of different parties, but the lack of public participation might undermine the intentions of the garbage-sorting campaign. The garbage classification law is something new in China, and the relevant government departments should pay more attention to raising public awareness to deal with garbage correctly instead of simply imposing harsh punishments on them.正确答案：Unnecessary to Punish People for Incorrect Garbage Disposal A regulation, which stipulates fines for individuals and organizations who fail to correctly dispose garbage, is due to take effect this year. The new regulation is aimed at raising public awareness of dealing with garbage. Although the roles are well defined for the property management companies and the law enforcement department, the former still fret over the effective implementation of the regulation because they have no rights to fine the violators. As far as I am concerned, punishments for incorrectly disposing of garbage are not necessary. To begin with, the authorities have long ignored to teach citizens how to properly dispose of garbage. Consequently,a majority of citizens have no knowledge of throwing rubbish correctly. Therefore, however heavy the punishments may be, the effort will only come to naught. Besides, compared with punishments, the better way to raise public awareness of correctly disposing of rubbish is the spread of knowledge. Government should conduct more activities to teach people the exact way of dealing with garbage. Only when the people have a thorough understanding of how to handle their garbage can they really participate in the correct garbage disposal. In conclusion, I think punishments for incorrect disposal of garbage are unnecessary.解析：本题主要讨论是否应该因为不合理处理垃圾而受罚。

Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away. But plants can protect themselves by using physical or chemical means.Some plants have physical ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Its lower leaves have more spines than upper leaves. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach. Oak trees have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may have a sandy material and eating such grasses wears down the animals’ teeth.Many plants also have chemical ways to protect themselves. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco(烟草) leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine(尼古丁). The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar from eating it. A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.1. Why does the writer compare animals with plants in Paragraph 1?A．To tell a story.B．To introduce a topic.C．To raise a question.2. The lower leaves have more spines because most animals _________.A．can get the lower leaves more easilyB．like the lower leaves of plants onlyC．prefer the leaves with sharp spines3. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．Some plants protect themselves in a physical way.B．Some plants have thick and hard leaves to keep animal away.C．Some plants are good at wearing down animals’ teeth.4. How does a tobacco leaf protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?A．By producing sharp and hard spines.B．By producing a chemical messenger.C．By producing more and higher roots.5. What would be the best title for this passage?A．How Plants Produce ChemicalsB．How Animals Eat Plant LeavesC．How Plants Protect Themselves4. There is no doubt that the hottest topic all over the world recently is connected to an AI chatbot called ChatGPT. From writing Shakespeare-style poetry to making music, ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm, winning over 100 million users since it came out in November 2022.Developed by the US company OpenAI, it can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing skills of a real person! People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history reports, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even used it to generate advice on how to communicate with people at a party.However, some schools in the US, Australia and France have banned (禁止) the use of ChatGPT. In the US, for example, New York City public schools banned students and teachers from using ChatGPT on the local networks and computers, CNN reported. The reason is that the tool could make it easier for students to cheat on homework. Some also worry that ChatGPT could be used to spread improper information. “It does not build critical-thinking(批判性思维) and problem-solving skills, which are necessary for academic (学术的) and lifelong success,” said Jenna Lyle, a secretary of the New York City Department of Education.In all, it’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that its effects are mostly positive, if ChatGPT does become bigger and more popular. So what do you think?1. _________ appeared in November 2022.A．The company OpenAIB．An AI chatbot named ChatGPTC．Shakespeare-style poetry2. According to Paragraph 2, what can ChatGPT probably help people do?a. It can make up jokes.b. It can post messages on social media.c. It can produce tools.d.

大学英语四级长篇阅读专项强化真题试卷6(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语四级长篇阅读专项强化真题试卷6(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.As Tourists Crowd Out Locals, Venice Faces “Endangered”List [A] On a recent fall morning, a large crowd blocked the steps at one of Venice’ s main tourist sites, the Rialto Bridge. The Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist; it was filled with Venetians, not tourists. [B] “ People are cheering and holding their carts in the air,”says Giovanni Giorgio, who helped organize the march with a grass-roots organization called Generazione ‘90. The carts he refers to are small shopping carts—the symbol of a true Venetian. “ It started as a joke,” he says with a laugh. “The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur. Precisely like that, you just go around and run people down. “[C] Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that’s a problem. Up to 90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is one key reason the city’ s population is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumbered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. And those who stick around are tired of living in a place where they can’ t even get to the market without swimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine, navigating through 50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.[D] Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and national governments have failed to do anything about the crowds for decades, because they’re only interested in tourism—the primary industry in Venice, worth more than $3 billion in 2015. “Venice is a cash cow,” she says, “and everyone wants a piece. “[E] Just beyond St. Mark’s Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds every year that appear over their medieval (中世纪的) surroundings. Their massive wake creats waves at the bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of the centuries-old buildings themselves. “ Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad,” Chigi says. “You see the mud it drags; the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the city underwater. One day we’ll see Venice break down. “[F] For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to agree. Two years ago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not protecting Venice. UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that means Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the world’s people. In 2014, UNESCO gave Italy two years to manage Venice’s flourishing tourism or the city would be placed on another list—World Heritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria. [G] Venice’ s deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝) this summer, just as UNESCO was meeting in Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried to raise the issue. “For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has been worsening, and it has nowreached a dramatic situation,” Tabet told UNESCO. “We have to act quickly, there is not a moment to waste. “[H] But UNESCO didn’ t even hold a vote. “ It’ s been postponed until 2017 ,”says Anna Somers, the founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head of Venice in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the main reason the U.N. cultural organization didn’ t vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger is because UNESCO has become “ intensely politicized. There would have been some back-room negotiations. “[I] Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world, granting it considerable power and influence within the organization. The former head of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, which oversees heritage sites, is Francesco Bandarin, a Venetian who now serves as UNESCO’s assistant director-general for culture. [J] Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task force of police art detectives and archaeologists (考古学家) to protect cultural heritage from natural disasters and terror groups, such as ISIS. The accord underlined Italy’s global reputation as a good steward of art and culture. [K] But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered list—which is dominated by sites in developing and conflict-ridden countries—would be an international embarrassment, and could even hurt Italy’ s profitable tourism industry. The Italian Culture Ministry says it is unaware of any government efforts to pressure UNESCO. As for the organization itself, it declined a request for an interview. [L] The city’ s current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told it to mind its own business, while continuing to support the cruise ship industry, which employs 5, 000 Venice residents. [M] As for Venetians, they’ re beyond frustrated and hoping for a solution soon. “ It’ s a nightmare for me. Some situations are really difficult with tourists around,”says Giorgio as he navigates around a swelling crowd at the Rialto Bridge. “There are just so many of them. They never know where they are going, and do not walk in an orderly manner. Navigating the streets can be exhausting. “[N] Then it hits him; This crowd isn’ t made up of tourists. They’re Venetians. Giorgio says he’s never experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 years. “ For once, we are the ones who are blocking the traffic,” he says delightedly. “ It feels unreal. It feels like we’ re some form of endangered species. It’ s just nice. The feeling is just pure. “But, he worries, if tourism isn’t managed and his fellow locals continue to move to the mainland, his generation might be the last who can call themselves native Venetians.1．The passing cruise ships will undermine the foundations of the ancient buildings in Venice.正确答案：E解析：该段前两句提到，在圣马可广场旁，一艘游轮经过，每年都会有数百艘像这样的游轮出现在这种中世纪环境中。

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices givenand mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on yourmachine-scored Answer Sheet.Passage OneHospitals are packed full of valuable information about patients, but doctors often struggle to use it effectively. A London-based start-up wants to change all that with a new suite of iPad apps called Medopad.The idea is to link up every data-making system and machine in a hospital to a central service which can deliver the collection of a patient‘s records – from historical medical files to X-ray and scans –at the touch of a doctor‘s iPad.A number of Medopad apps help doctors utilize this data. For example, one app broadcasts the readings from a patient‘s heart monitor to their doctor‘s iPad screen, so a check-up can be carried out from anywhere in the hospital building. Another app uses voice-recognition to letdoctors create written notes on patients just by speaking.For BMI Healthcare, Medopad could be about to transform how their doctors work. BMI has been piloting the software and testing integration with its hospitals‘ existing databases and is now deciding whether to roll it out for use with actual patients. ―It‘s intuitive, and it kind of works the way doctors think,‖ says group medical director, Mark Ferreira.With Medopad in place, doctors will be able to refer cases to one another for a second opinion from within the app suite. Photos of a patient‘s visible symptoms can be taken using an iPad and shared, for example. Another Medopad app features integration with the Google Glass headset, which allows up to five clinicians to collaborate in real time, take pictures and share them, and access a patient‘s records simultaneously. A pathology app can even do some analytical work for doctors, with abnormal blood-test results flagged automatically.The system has a number of security features. For example, it can be set up so that when a doctor‘s device physically leaves the hospital network, patient data will no longer be available on it.Doctors and patients alike should benefit from this kind of system, says Stevan Wing, who co-hosts a podcast on medical apps called The Digital Doctor. ―If you increase the doctor‘s information as well as their ability to share it with patients and make joint decisions, then I think the qualit y of care must improve,‖ he says.Charles Lowe, president of the Telemedicine and eHealth section at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, has been following Medopad‘s progress. ―It‘s going to speed up treatment,‖ he says.51. As used in this passage, the word ―app‖ probably means ________.A. an advertisement about medical facilitiesB. a mobile phone with special functionsC. a website that supplies medical dataD. a computer program or a piece of software52. The biggest advantage of Medopad lies in ________.A. improving access to the InternetB. reducing the medical cost at a hospitalC. effective use of information on patientsD. quick exchange of data between hospitals53. It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that BMI Healthcare ________.A. has started to use Medopad clinicallyB. is using Medopad on a trial basisC. has changed the way doctors workD. knows what each doctor thinks via Medopad54. As said in Paragraph 5, Medopad can help doctors to do the following EXCEPT ________.A. to test the blood of patients for abnormalitiesB. to take and share photos of patients‘ symptomsC. to use a patient‘s information at the same timeD. to ask for the opinion from another doctor55. The last two paragraphs suggest that doctors are likely to ________ Medopad.A. welcomeB. fearC. opposeD. improve56. The central idea of this passage is that ________.A. iPads will replace doctors in future healthcareB. iPads will be readily available in many hospitalsC. doctors with iPads could transform hospital careD. Medopad will be of financial benefit to patientsPassage TwoIn 1919 the Hotel Pennsylvania, in New York, opened its first restaurant, with offerings notable for their descriptive simplicity: ―lamb,‖ ―potatoes: boiled,‖ and so on. Nearly 100 years later, the Statler Grill, one of the hotel‘s current restaurants, offers updated takes, from a ―lollipop Colorado lamb chop‖ to ―buttered mashed potatoes.‖You needn‘t be a linguist to note changes in the language of menus, but Stanford‘s Dan Jurafsky has written a book doing just that. In The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu, Jurafsky describes how he and some colleagues analyzed a database of 6,500 restaurant menus describing 650,000 dishes from across the U.S. Among their findings: fancy restaurants, not surprisingly, use fancier—and longer—words than cheaper restaurants do. Jurafsky writes that ―every increase of one letter in the average length of words describing a dish is associated with an increase of 69 cents in the price of that dish.‖Lower-priced restaurants, meanwhile, rely on ―linguistic fillers‖: su bjective words like delicious, unique, and soft. These are the empty calories of menus, less indicative of flavor than of low prices. Cheaper establishments also use terms like ripe and fresh, which Jurafsky calls ―status anxiety‖ words. Thomas Keller‘s Pe r Se, after all, would never use fresh—that much is taken for granted—but Subway would. Per Se does, however, engage in the trendy habit of adding provenance to descriptions of ingredients (Island Creek oysters, Frog Hollow‘s peaches). According to Jurafsk y, very expensive restaurants ―mention the origins of the food more than 15 times as often as inexpensive restaurants.‖Already, provenance-oriented menu language is spreading outward from the finer restaurants to the Subways and Applebee‘s of the world. T he first business to take provenance seriously was Chipotle, says the food developer Barb Stuckey. (―They‘ve always menuedNiman Ranch pork.‖) In turn, high-end food supplier may head in a different direction. ―As this stuff trickles down, the rich need a way to be different again,‖ says Jurafsky, who notes the flourishing menu trend of extreme minimalism, seen at the Michelin-starred San Francisco spot Saison, where the set price starts at $248 and the menu comes after the meal, as a souvenir. In some ways, this is ―a return to 200 years ago, when you‘d say, ‗Give me dinner,‘ and they‘d just give you what they‘d cooked,‖ Jurafsky says.57. What does Dan Jurafsky find out about the language of menus?A. More expensive restaurants tend to use simple words in their menus.B. Cheaper restaurants tend to use longer words in their menus.C. The longer the words in the menu, the more expensive the dishes.D. The shorter the words in the menu, the more expensive the dishes.58. What does Dan Jurafsky t hink of the words like ―delicious‖ and ―fresh‖ in the menu?A. They indicate high quality of the food.B. They are hollow words of little value.C. They are more than necessary in the menu.D. They will be out of fashion sooner or later.59. T he underlined word ―provenance‖ (Para. 3) probably refers to ________.A. the calorie count of the foodB. the special flavor of the foodC. the source of the foodD. the way the food is made60. Which of the following is probably the most expensive restaurant?A. Subway.B. Per Se.C. Chipotle.D. Applebee.61. As stated in the last paragraph, the latest menu trend is ________.A. simplicityB. creativityC. practicalityD. extravagance62. What is the major topic of the passage?A. A comparison of various menus.B. The messages hidden in a menu.C. Dish price and menu trend.D. The evolution of menu language.Passage ThreeIt is impossible to confidently predict what will happen should Scotland decide to declare independence. But some factors will come into play.The first is an unavoidable fact of life: we are all getting older. Developed nations are set to struggle with the effects of an ageing population over the next 50 years, but population projections suggest the impact will be felt even harder in Scotland. The problem for Scotland is that its under-65 population will shrink while its over-65s increase, putting big pressure on public finances.The Scottish government says independence will allow the nation to pursue a very different immigration strategy to the rest of the UK. But if working-age migrants don‘t come as hoped, Scotland will find it more difficult to support its ageing population. Things get worse when North Sea oil and gas are taken into account. ―Oil revenues will almost certainly fall over the longer term,‖ says David Phillips at the IFS. ―If it takes decades, that would give Scotland time to adjust, although it would still involve some potentially painful choices.‖Addressing the shortfall in revenues will mean higher taxes or a fall in living standards –something Scotland can ill afford: life expectancy is already 2.3 years lower for Scottish men than those in the rest of the UK. The difference is particularly striking in Glasgow. ―Health isScotland‘s Achilles‘ heel,‖ sa ys Gerry McCartney of NHS Scotland. And it‘s a relatively recent phenomenon.The Scottish government says a vote for independence will reduce inequality. But a study suggests that new Scottish powers to increase taxes or benefits may have little effect. That‘s because small nations can find it difficult to implement radically different policies to their larger neighbors: people can simply decide to cross the border in search of lower taxes, for example. This is particularly problematic when it comes to funding pensions, which depend on a thriving workforce. ―Raising tax rates to provide pensions could be a self-defeating policy if it leads to mass departure of workers,‖ says Comerford.The voting age for the Scottish referendum has been lowered to 16 from the normal UK voting age of 18, to let teenagers have a say in their country‘s future. If independence goes wrong, a youthful yes vote could prove a big mistake.63. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ________.A. Scotland will soon have a much smaller populationB. an ageing population will be a big trouble for ScotlandC. elders will make up more than half of Scottish populationD. independence will add to the ageing population64. The author believes that revenues from oil ________.A. will fall dramatically in a short timeB. have nothing to do with living standardsC. will make little difference to elders‘ lifeD. are critical to supportingthe ageing population65. The expression ―Achilles‘ heel‖ u sed in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A. an vulnerable spotB. a big advantageC. a source of prideD. a future problem66. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 implies that ________.A. higher tax rates can provide enough pensionsB. raising tax rates will help win independenceC. tax rates are subject to change if necessaryD. increasing taxes may possibly harm the workforce67. The author seems to ________ the potential declaration of independence by Scotland.A. completely supportB. strongly opposeC. be concerned overD. be neutral about68. A proper title for this passage might be ________A. It Is Time That Scotland Declared Independence.B. Scotland: What if Independence Goes Horribly Wrong?C. Independence – Both a Blessing and a Curse.D. What‘s the Best Way to WinIndependence in Scotland?Passage FourDolphins are believed to have succeeded where mainstream physicians have not. The long-standing myth about the extraordinary powers of dolphins as healers has been passed down from the first written records of encounters with these animals. Much of our attraction to these animals derives from their so-called combination of intelligence and communications skills.Dolphin-assisted therapy (DAT) typically involves several sessions of customers swimming or interacting with captive dolphins, along with performing more conventional therapeutic tasks such as puzzle solving and motor-skills exercises. The standard price of DAT sessions, whose practitioners are not required by law to receive any special training or certification, is steep, reaching into thousands of dollars. DAT practitioners say that the sessions are particularly successful in treating depression and motor disorders in addition to childhood autism. But DAT can sometimes be less honestly advertised as being an effective treatment for everything from cancer to infections and development delays.Even when they don‘t promise any complete cure, DAT facilities market themselves as offering real therapy. They often use technology that suggests scientific legitimacy. But true therapy must have a relationship to a specific condition and result in quantifiable effects. While there are some published studies claiming to demonstrate positive results from DAT, few include a control group, which would help measure whether general, short-term results are due to interacting with the dolphins or caused by other factors, like being in the water, being given tasks, receiving increased attention from other people.The loved ones of children with autism and other people who appear to benefit from DAT tend to accept these explanations as scientifically sound. And even those suspicious of DAT may ask, ―What‘s the harm if a child who typically experiences little enjoyment and accomplishment fin ds some happiness and connection with dolphins?‖The sad fact is that they are being harmed –along with the humans who believe in them. Captive dolphins spend their lives under tremendous stress, as they struggle to adapt to environments different from the wild. Unlike their natural habitats, the shallow pools are only six feet deep and 24 feet long, filled with chemicals but empty of plants, sand, and other forms of life. The outcome of this treatment is devastating. Dolphins in the wild can live 30 or 50 years, but captive ones are prone to a much shorter lifespan and other stress-and immune-related diseases.69. Paragraph 1 reveals the author‘s ________.A. admiration for dolphins as healersB. faith in the therapeutic effect of dolphinsC. disbelief in the healing effect of dolphinsD. intense resentment to dolphins70. Which of the following is true about DA T?A. DAT is sometimes advertised in a misleading manner.B. DAT sessions are cheap enough to be popularized.C. DAT practitioners need special training before work.D. DAT doesn‘t involve conventional therapeutic tasks.71. In Paragraph 3, the author expresses doubt about ________.A. the availability of DAT facilitiesB. the allegedly negative effect of DATC. the real intention of DAT criticsD. the reliability of results of studies on DAT72. This passage implies that many people are________.A. indifferent to the benefit of DATB. unaware of the harm to captive dolphinsC. concerned about the captive dolphinsD. quite justified in receiving DAT73. The author believes that captivity ________.A. keeps most dolphins healthy and happyB. leaves dolphins unhealthy and unhappyC. can contribute to protection of dolphinsD. causes dolphins to do harm to humans74. The central idea of this passage is that ________.A. dolphin-assisted therapy is quite effective for some diseasesB. captive dolphins have a shorter lifespan than those in the wildC. dolphins are lovely animals worthy of careful protectionD. the belief that dolphins can heal is actually an illusionPassage FiveBack in the 1950s and ‗60s, an American woman typically planned on getting her degree and getting properly married upon graduation. Sometimes she would work to support her new husband until he got his next degree and was well started in a job; but after that, with so few exceptions, the wife stayed at home raising the children.But a new study shows that that rock of experience upon which we built our families and our moral lives is crumbling beneath us. The majority of women are no longer in the home; men are slowly giving up their previous workplaces to their wives. Four in ten American households with children under 18 now include a mother who is either the sole or primary earner for her family. It is the record-high share of working women in this position, having quadrupled since 1960.―While most of these families are headed by single mothers, a growing number are married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands,‖ according to the study. But single mother ―providers‖ are at a severe disadvantage. They earn an average of $23,000 and are likely to be young or black, and to have a lower level of education than married women breadwinners, whose family income averages $80,000.In 1960, only 4 percent of single mothers had never been married; today that figure is 44 percent. Meanwhile, 40 percent of all births are to single mothers. The figure is 80 percent in the African-American community.These changes also date back to the 1960s, when the United States allowed its greedy corporations to locate their offices and factories overseas so as not to pay taxes. Working-classjobs for men started disappearing. As ―globalization was good,‖ factories might move to Chengdu or Jakarta, but the U.S. would come out of the turmoil by becoming a ―service economy.‖But no one ever suggested how strong former steelworkers would transform overnight into a doorkeeper at the Plaza or sell a trip to Bhutan to a choosy lady at a travel agency. There is no embarrassment in saying that we are not all fit for all jobs.But above all, I think of culture. Women were always the culture-carriers and the nurturing sex. Today, I look around and see America‘s popular culture degrading, and I yearn for some motherliness in our society. Who will take those roles?75. It can be learned from the first paragraph that in the 1950‘s or 60‘s ________.A. men started to work at a younger age than womenB. women were mostly better-educated than their husbandsC. the husband normally became the sole breadwinnerD. most women got married before they finished college76. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that ________.A. the divorce rate is getting increasingly high in the United StatesB. partnerships or relationships are improving in American familiesC. our families and moral lives are undergoing tremendous changesD. living costs are becoming unbearably high for American couples77. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. About 10% of breadwinners with children under 18 were women in 1960.B. Most families in the United States depend on the wife for a living.C. Globalization has put more women out of work in the United States.D. 80 percent of the mothers are single in the African-American community.78. Paragraph 6 implies that ________.A. men can switch to another job easilyB. sometimes men can‘t find a suitable jobC. women are more adaptable than menD. a woman can do different jobs equally well79. The author believes that the high rate of employment among women ________.A. has nothing to do with the trend of globalizationB. shows the superiority of women over menC. can contribute to the happiness of a familyD. has negative effects on the U.S. culture80. A proper title of this passage might be ________A. For Better or Worse, Women‘s Roles Are Changing.B. Why the Rate of Unemployment Is High among Males?C. A Closer Look at Relations between Marriage and Income.D. The Impact of Globalization on Women‘s Education.。

Can a grass-root people have more chances to achieve
success in digital age?
Dear Nini, ladies and gentleman:
Before my speech, I want to ask a very simple question: Do you acknowledge that we are the flowers and the future of our country? If your answer is yes, that is great. If no, good, as what I thought: all of us are grass-roots. So my topic is “can a grass-root people have more chances to achieve success in digital age”.
Do you remember the Xidan girl who played a guitar and sang the song in the year of rabbit Spring Festival Gala evening. She is a very ordinary girl but becomes famous for a video. We have to think about that why she could be famous just for a video? Do you think she is a good singer? I don’t think so .There is countless people who sing better than her. She was lucky, meeting a person who appreciated her. What’s more important was her experience encouraged more grass-roots to pursue their dreams.
Maybe many classmates forgot her. Alright, you must know 谢武弟。
老子明天不上班，爽翻。
He attended the Song of China《中国好歌曲》。
Also became hot overnight for his
original song. But is he popular now? I want to say “no”.
If you want to become famous through the Internet, you have to have some special talents that are different with other people. But do remember, there are 1.4 billion people in China. You have to become so special that you have the chance to be successful through the Internet. Of course, Jack Ma is not a grass-root person now, we can’t compare with him.
You are not the flower, even you are not the grass, and you are the grass-roots, living in the soil. Do you have more chances to see the sunshine or the blue sky than grass, much than flowers? Maybe it is an inappropriate metaphor, but it is straightforward.
I have set so many examples; the only reason is to say that grass-roots can’t have more chances to achieve success in digital age. Everyone wants to become a successful person. We also have the right to pursue the life we love. But if we are thinking of how to become famous or successful just by trying to please an audience, and cater to the people’s thought. Even though you become the central figure in tomorrow’s News, you are not really so called successful.
Why not study and work hard to pursue the life we sincerely love. Smile from time to time. Become a person who
is full of positive energy. Learn more practical skills, no matter how small. Even if you only can make a wonderful slide, it will be very useful. Learn more in your spare time. I think they are much important than digging into how to become famous overnight on the Internet. Don’t forget to live the life we love and love the life we live.。
