But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the school' s busing company redrew its route map, eliminatingNia ' s bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a -walking school bus a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs— and finding new way to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesn' t affectinstruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren ‘ t always the shortest ones.There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it'niainwnnvirbuimetoo many of theirparents decide to drive then instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2022 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.31.The —walking school bus . II A. does not consume fuel B. aims to keep children fit C. seldom causes traffic jamsD. is popular with school kids32.In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with.A. individual schoolsB ．school districtsC．teacherD．parents33.As regards walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the .A．time spent on the way8．changes in the routeC. kid 's physical strengthD ．safety of their children34.To save money, some schools choose to.A．take the shortest routesB ．shorten the school weekC．give drives better trainingD ．use fuel efficient buses35.Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to.A．fierce competition among bus companiesB．more students taking public transportationC．an increase in carbon dioxide emissionsD. a decrease in the safety of school buses 36. Which of the following best describes the author' s attitude towards busing cutbacks' A．FavorableB. CriticalC. ObjectiveD. IndifferentPassage TwoPeople are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2022 can expects to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity (长寿) of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then -the gap is growing.A number of reasons have been proposed to accounts for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men.That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.Some researchers have suggested that men may die early because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian 晡孚L动物的)species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more male miscarriages流产).In human, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.37.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.Men ' s lifespan remains almost unchanged.B.Researchers have found the cause of the age gapC.The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.D.The age gap was noticed only recently.38.As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to women' s longer life;are.A.diseases and road accidentsB.industrialization and work strainsC.their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcoholD.their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure39.According to Paragraph3, which of the following statements is true?A.The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap.B.The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap.C.Female workers are more likely to smoke than make workers.D.Smoking does not seem to affect women ' s longevity.40.Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?A.Men ' s health is more closely related to their emotions.B.Though more liable to illnesses, women still live longer.C.Men show worse symptoms than women when they fall ill.D.Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement.41.The word —edge II in Paragraph 6 means — II .A. marginB．sideC．advantageD．quality42.What is the main idea of the passage?A．The greater longevity of women remains a mystery.B ．That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity.C. People are living longer as a result of industrialization. D ．Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life. Passage ThreeMany are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature. Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor 传感器〕networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis. The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environments. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, willenable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live ina more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.43.By —human intervention II (Paragraph 2), the author refers to.A.the reduction of great energy waste in the environmentB.the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableC.acts like turning off lights when no one is in the roomD.the adoption of smart sensing and network technology44.Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they.A.have to be replaced from time to timeB.contain metals that pollute the environmentC.require automatic rechargingD are difficult and costly to maintain45.Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that.A there is energy in the environment to be utilizedB the cost of using them has been drastically reducedC modern data communication consumes little energyD their maintenance has been greatly simplified46.According to the passage, Green Peak.A is the first company to install wireless sensor networksB.promotes the application of wireless sensor networksC.supplies batteries operating on harvested energyD.benefits handsomely from communication technology47.The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the.A.replacement of batteries in harvestersB.monitoring of energy harvested from the environmentC.elimination of batteries in sensor networksD.impact of sensor networks on power supply48.Wireless sensor networks promise to.A.bring businesses high profitsB.further develop the sensing technologyC.turn motion into a major source of energyD.improve the daily lives of people worldwidePassage FourIf you haven ' t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few month you probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have more likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer to overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percents, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increase by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores 〔琐事〕and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from assign? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are sceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver ' s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safety, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.49.The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that.A. people not interested in the media know little about recent happeningsB. Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few monthsC. one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid themD.the media coined the term — Road Rage II only a few months ago50.According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last yearA.drunk driving remained the No.1 killer on the highwayB.more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk drivingC.two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive drivingD.41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving51.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?A.Increasing number of carsB.Drivers ' stress and anxietyC.Overcrowded roadsD.Rush hour traffic52.The word —spell II in Paragraph 3 means II II .A.speakB.causeC.describeDspare53.Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?ATalking while drivingB.Driving fastCYelling at another driverDSounding the horn when passing54.The last paragraph is intended to. A. tell people how to cope with Road Rage B. inform people how aggressive drivers could be C. tell people how to control themselves when angry D. warn people against eye contact with another driverPassage FiveIn the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the — Clever Hans II effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any— detectionsII made by the teamsthus had to be false.The findings reveals that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts stuck Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals— who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying—wolf II at the unconscious signal of their handlers. How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously — profiled II people being sniffed by a drug, or ■exiect i vg dogat an airport, false positive could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.55.What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?A. He was as clever as people claimed.B ．He was really good at counting.C．He could understand human language.D．He merely responded to human signals.56.Lisa Lit and her colleagues.A.questioned the—Clever Hans II effectB.discovered the—Clever Hans II effectC.confirmed the —Clever Hans II effectD.rejected the —Clever Hans II effect57.The dog handlers learned before the searches that.A．each search area contained three target scentsB ．there was actually no target scent in the search areaC．some target scents may be labeled with a special markD. their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper58.What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr Lit?A.The location of the false alertsB.The regularity of the false alertsC.The number of the false alertsD.The timing of the false alerts59.It can be concluded from the experiment that.A.dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogsB.dogs may act in response to their handlers' bodily signalsC.the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to successD.well- trained dogs can better understand their handlers' signals60.The author thinks that Dr Lit' s findings.A.should raise our concern in real lifeB.may not be useful in real situationsC.should be backed up by further evidenceD.will be widely applied in the near futurePart IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Zoos have become an important site for the preservation and protection of wildlife resources, __61__ those species that are endangered __62__, many zoos displayed live animals for public entertainment.

While popular phobias (恐惧症)about snakes and spiders might get all of the attention, there are a wide variety of not-so-obvious horrors that make people nervous.While some phobias might seem a bit silly ,they can cause serious emotional distress. My co-worker Magda is terrified of pigeons ,a phobia that is taking over her life, She won’t walk in certain parts of the city and runs screaming from the subway when one of these “rats with wings ”finds its way onto the platform . Another friend is disgusted with cheese. Once I saw her run away from a slice of it .So where does an irrational fear of cheese come from ?Are phobias something we inherit from our genes or do we acquire these unusual anxieties over time?Ever since I can remember we inherit from our genes or do we acquire these unusual anxieties over time?Ever since I can remember I have been unreasonably frightened of elevators. There was no terrible childhood experience and I am fine with confined spaces ,but something about elevators makes me nervous .And so ,when my boyfriend and I found ourselves trapped in an elevator last year -because these sorts of things always happen eventually -I was anticipating the worst .While he gave me a suggestive eyebrow raise and proposed we “take advantage of the situation ,”I began screaming uncontrollably. I was far from turned on by the whole facing my worst nightmare thing.However, after the fear subsided (消退)I realized that, yes, t his was my greatest fear come true, and yet -it wasn’t all that bad. Nervous and inconvenient maybe, but terrifying? Not so much.Liberating yourself from a deep-seated phobia can be a long and difficult process, but sometimes it can be as simple as confronting it head on.21. The 34-year-old British woman is extremely afraid of metal forks because .A. she couldn’t bear their sound on plateB. she is afraid that they may hurt herC. she has never used them beforeD. she has been injured by them before22. The phrase “rats with wings”(Para.3)refers toA. devilsB. exotic ratsC. pigeonsD. strange birds23.The author’s fear of elevators is the result ofA. her dislike of being in closed spacesB. her terrible experienceC. her phobia for no reasonD. her nervousness of being alone24.After the fear subsided, the author realized thatA. an elevator ride could be excitingB. it was not as horrible as she had thoughtC. her boyfriend’s help was importantD. she could have had a good time with her boyfriend25. The purpose for the author to share her experience is toA. introduce what strange fears people haveB. explain why people have strange fearsC. illustrate conquering a fear can be difficultD. encourage people to overcome their fearsPassage TwoThe American public’s obsession with dieting has led to one of the most dangerous health misconceptions of all times. Many television ads, movies, magazine articles, and diet-food product labels would have consumers believe that carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are bad for the human body and that those who eat them will quickly become overweight. We are advised to avoid food a such as potatoes, rice and white bread and opt for meats and vegetables instead. Some companies promote this idea to encourage consumer to buy their “carb-free” food products. But the truth is, the human body needs carbohydrates to function properly, and a body that relies on carbohydrates but is exhausted of this dietary element is not in good shape after all.Most foods that wo consume on a daily basis like potatoes and rice are loaded with carbohydrates. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates have many health benefits; some fight diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, and others help to prevent cancer and stroke. Cutting these foods out of your diet may deprive your body of the many health benefits of carbohydrates.One of the best benefits of carbohydrates is their ability to help to maintain the health of our organs, tissues, and cells. Scientific studies have shown that one type of carbohydrate called fiber reduces the risk of heart disease. Carbohydrates also contain antioxidants（抗氧化剂），which protect the body’s cells from harmful particles with the potential to cause cancer.This does not mean that the human body can survive on a diet composed entirely of carbohydrates. We also need certain percentages of proteins and fats to maintain healthy bodies. But carbohydrates certainly should not be avoided altogether. In fact, the food pyramid, the recommended basis of a healthy diet, shows that a person should consume six to eleven servings of breads and grains, as well as three to four servings each of fruits and vegetables—all carbohydrate-containing foods. It is easy to see why cutting carbohydrates out of a person’s diet is not a good idea.The only way to know what is truly healthy for your own body is to talk to a nutritionist or dietician, who can help you choose foods that are right for you as well as guide you toward a proper exercise program for weight loss, or muscle gain. These professionals will never tell you to cut out carbohydrates entirely! The bottom line: listen to experts, not the advertisers!26.As is used in Paragraph 1, the word “exhausted” most possibly means _____.A. startledB. starvingC. derivedD. deprived27.According to the author, advertisers who sell “carb-free”products _____.A. value consumers’ well-beingB. are not telling the truthC. offer healthy optionsD. are responsible for obesity28.Which of the following is NOT one of the health benefits of carbohydrates ?A. Prevention of stroke.B. Prevention of cancer.C. Prevention of fiber reductionD. Prevention of heart disease.29. It can be inferred from the passage that a healthy diet _____.A. is low in carbohydrates and high in proteins and fatsB. contains equal amounts of carbohydrates and proteinsC. needs enough proteins but no fat for us to maintain energyD. is balanced between carbohydrates, and proteins and fats30.The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A.describe the variety of carbohydratesB. explain how to live a healthy lifeC. promote more physical exerciseD. advocate a healthy dietPassage ThreeOf all the lessons taught by the financial crisis, the most personal has been that Americans aren’t so good at money-management. We take out home loans we can’t afford. We run up sky-high credit-card debt. We don’t save nearly enough for retirement.In response, supporters of financial-literacy education are moving with renewed enthusiasm. School districts in states such as New Jersey and Illinois are adding money-management courses to their curriculums. The treasury and Education departments are sending lesson plans to high schools and encouraging students to compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge that begins in March.Students with top scores on that exam will receive certificates—but chances for long-term benefits are slim. As it turns out, there is little evidence that traditional efforts to boost financial know-how help students make better decisions outside the classroom. Even as the financial-literacy movement has gained steam over the past decade, scores have been falling on tests that measure how well students learn about things such as budgeting, credit cards, insurance and investment. A recent survey of college students condu cted for the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found that students who’d had a personal-finance or money-management course in high school scored no better than those who hadn’t.“We need to figure out how to do this the right way,” says L ewis Mandell, a professor at the University of Washington who after 15 years of studying financial-literacy programs has come to the conclusion that current methods don’t work. A growing number of researchers and educators agree that a more radical approach is needed. They advocate starting financial education a lot earlier than high school, putting real money and spending decisions into kids’ hands and talking openly about the emotions and social influences tied to how we spend.Other initiatives are tackling such real-world issues as the commercial and social pressures that affect purchasing decisions. Why exactly do you want those expensive brand-name shoes so badly? “It takes confidence to take a stand and to think differently,” says Jeroo Billimoria, founder of Aflatoun,a nonprofit whose curriculum, used in more than 30 countries, aims to help kids get a leg up in their financial lives. “This goes beyond money and saving.”31.The financial-literacy education is intended to _____________.A. renew Amer icans’ enthusiasm about money -managementB. increase Americans’ awareness of the financial crisisC. help Americans to overcome the financial crisisD. enable Americans to manage money wisely32.According to the author ,the National Financial Capability Challenge will be ____________A. ineffectiveB.rewardingC. costlyD.well-received33.By saying that “the financial-literacy movement has gained steam”(Para.3),the author means that the movement ______________.A. has received much criticismB. has been regarded as imaginativeC. has been more and more popularD. has gone through financial difficulties34.Lewis Mandell suggests that we should figure out how to __________.A. manage money in a more efficient wayB. carry out financial-literacy education properlyC. improve the social awareness of financial educationD. help students score better in money-management courses35.Jeroo Billimoria is most likely to agree that commercial and social pressures make one’s purchasing decisions ________.A. acceptableB. DifficultC. feasible C. unwisePassage FourCheating is nothing new. But today, educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent- and are less likely to be punished – than in the past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loose ning of moral values among today’s youth . Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that today’s youth are far more pragmatic (实用主义的) than their more idealistic predecessors. Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies, students were fille d with visions about changing the world, today’s students feel great pressure to conform and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,” said a second-year college student named Anna, from Chicago. There’s an underlying fear. If you don’t do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from oneself. To achieve. To succeed. It’s almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.Wdward Wynne, a magazine editor, blame the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English department at Amarillo, sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated. “I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated,” Mr. Huber said . He fells that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can put information together, students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate and there is something wrong with the individuals who are doing it,” he said. ‘That’s too easy an answer. We’ve got to start looking at the system.”cators are finding that students who cheat .A. have poor academic recordsB. are more likely to be punished than beforeC. tend to be dishonest in later yearsD. are not only those academically weak37. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Students do not cheat on essay tests.B. Students’ cheating has deep social roots.C. Punishment is an effective method to stop cheating.D. Reform in the testing system will eliminate cheating.38.Which of the following points of view would Mr. Huber Agree with?A. Parents must take responsibility for the rise in cheating.B. Punishment for cheaters should be severe in this country.C. Students who cheat should be expelled from school.D. Cheating would be reduced trough an educational reform.39.The expression “the individuals” (the last paragraph ) refers to .A. teachersB. parentsC. students who cheatD. school administrators40. The passage mainly discusses .A. people’s tolerance of students’ cheatingB. the decline of moral standards of today’s youthC. factors leading to academic dishonestyD. ways to eliminate academic dishonestySection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answersA, B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.One of the central principles of raising kids in America is that parents should be actively involved in their children’s education: meeting with teachers, volunteering at school, helping with homework, and doing a hundred other things that few working parents have time for. These obligations are so baked into American values that few parents stop to ask whether they’re worth the effort.Until this January, few researchers did, either. In the largest-ever study of how parental involvement affects academic achievement, Keith Robinson and Angel L.Harris, two sociology professors at Duke, found that mostly it doesn’t. The researchers combed through nearly three decades’ worth of surveys of American parents and tracked 63 different measures of parental participation in kids’ academic lives, from helping them with homework, to talking with them about college plans. In an attempt to show whether the kids of more-involved parents improved over time, the researchers indexed these measures to children’s academic performance, including test scores in reading and math.What they found surprised them. Most measurable forms of parental involvement seem to yield fewacademic dividends for kids, or even to backfire（适得其反）—regardless of a parent’s race, or level of education.Do you review your daughter’s homework every night? Robinson and Harris’s data show that this won’t help her score higher on standardized tests. Once kids enter middle school, parental help with homework can actually bring test scores down, an effect Robinson says could be caused by the fact that many parents may have forgotten, or never truly understood, the material their children learn in school.While Robinson and Harris largely disproved that assumption, they did find a handful of habits that make a difference, such as reading aloud to young kids(fewer than half of whom are read to daily)and talking with teenagers about college plans. But these interventions don’t take place at school or in the presence of teachers, where policy makers have the most influence — they take place at home.Comment 1:Basically the choice is whether one wants to let kids to be kids.Persistent parental involvement and constantly communicating to the kids on what the parents want consciously or unconsciously would help the kids grow up or think like the parents sooner than otherwise.Comment 2:It also depends on the kid . Emotional and social maturity have a lot to do with success in college and in life. Some kids may have the brains and are bored by high school, but that doesn,t mean they are ready for college or the work place.Comment 3:The article doesn’t clearly define “helping,” but I understood it as actually assisting children in the exercises(e.g. Helping them to solve a math problem)and/or reviewing their work for accuracy rather than simply making sure they’re completed their work.I think the latter is more helpful than the former. I would also certainly hope that no study would discourage parents from monitoring their children’s performance!41. The word “they”(Para.1) refers to________.A. principlesB. studiesC. obligationsD. Values42.What is main conclusion of the Robinson and Harris’s study?A.Parental involvement may not necessarily benefit children.B.The kids of more-involved parents improve over time.C.Schools should communicate with parents regularly.D.Parental involvement works better with low-achievers.ment 1 suggests that_________.A. kids should be kids after allB. Parents should leave their children aloneC. Persistent parental involvement is a mustD. Parents may influence children’s thinking44.The writer of Comment 2 would probably agree that_________.A.getting ready for college is an emotional processB.high intelligence dose not guarantee successC. high school is often boring in the U.S.D. Social maturity is sufficient to achieve success in life45.Which of the following parental helps will the writer of Comment 3 consider proper?A. Monitoring kids’ class performance.B. Reviewing kids’ homework for accuracy.C. Making sure kids have finished their work.D. Assisting kids in their exercises.Part Ⅳ Cloze(10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Ironically, a study finds that we‘re awful gift-givers precisely because we spend too much time try into be considerate. We imagine our friends 46 a gift that is impressive, expensive, and sentimental. We imagine the look of happiness and surprise on their faces and the warmth we feel 47 .But there‘s something that the most sentimental gift-givers tend not to think too much about: 48 the gift is practical in the first place.49 ,practicality seems like an enemy of great gift giving .Beautiful jewelry, lovely watches, perfect rugs, finely crafted kitchen hardware: These things 50 great gifts because they communicate something beyond practicality. They communicate that the giver cares.But do the receivers care? Often, no. “Gift receivers would be51 if givers gave them exactly what they requested 52 attempting to be ‘thoughtful and considerate’ by buying gifts they did not explicitly request” to surprise them, the researchers write.

Some animals, such as camels and desert snakes, are incredibly good at surviving in the desert. Their adaptations (适应) 1 them to live in conditions that other creatures couldn't cope with.Camels are known for their humps, which are a store of fat that can be converted into water and energy when food and water are scarce. Their wide, tough feet help them to walk easily on sand, and their long legs allow them to take big steps to avoid sinking.Desert snakes have a special way of moving across the hot desert sand. Unlike most snakes, which push themselves off the ground with their stomach muscles, desert snakes do the opposite. They lift their stomachs off the ground to the point where they almost stand up and then they throw themselves forwards.

同等学力英语初级阅读理解模拟练习(1)
同等学力英语初级阅读理解模拟练习(1)-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Passage OneThe English language is spoken or read by the largest number of people in the world, for historical, political, and economic reasons; but it may also be true that it owes something of its wide appeal to qualities and characteristics inherent in itself. What are these characteristic features which outstand in making the English language what it is, which give it its individuality and make it of this worldwide significance?First and most important is extraordinary receptive and adaptable - it has taken to itself material from almost everywhere in the world and has made the new elements of language its own. English, which when the Anglo-Saxons first conquered England in the fifth and sixth centuries was almost a "pure" or unmixed language-which could make new words for new ideas from its own compounded elements.A second outstanding characteristic of English is its simplicity and the relationship of words in a sentence with only the minimum of change in their shapes or variation of endings.A third quality of English is its relatively fixed word order. （177 words）1. This passage is primarily concerned with____.A. reasons for the popularity of EnglishB. English language has largest number of people in the worldC. extraordinary receptive and adaptable of English languageD. characteristic of English2. What are the most important characteristic features of English?A. the largest number of peopleB. historical, political, and economic reasonsC. extraordinary receptive and adaptableD. worldwide significance3. Where has English taken itself material?A. everywhere in the worldB. the Anglo-SaxonsC. a "pure" or unmixed languageD. many places in the world4. According to the text, England was once___A. conquered by some foreigners.B. defeated by the Anglo-Saxons.C. a colony of the Anglo-Saxons.D. mixed with the Anglo-Saxons.5. Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of English language?A. simpleB. wide spreadC. pureD. relatively fixed word order1－5 ACDACPassage TwoFor all the fevered work being done, however, science is still far away from the Brave New World vision of engineering a perfect human-or even a perfect tomato. Much more research is needed before gene therapy become commonplace and many diseases will take decades to conquer if they can be conquered at all.In the short run, the most practical way to use the new technology will be in genetic screening. Doctors will be able to detect all sorts of flaws in DNA long before they can be fixed. In some cases the knowledge may lead to treatments that delay the attack of the disease or soften its effects. Someone with a genetic heart disease, for example, could follow a low-fat diet. And if scientists determine that a vital protein is missing because the gene that was supposed to make it is defective, they might be able to give the patient an artificial version of the protein. But in other instances, almost nothing can be done to stop the damages brought on by genetic mutations. （176 words）6. The 1st passage implies that____.A. science is still far away from perfectionB. it's difficult to engineer a perfect humanC. it's difficult to create a perfect tomatoD. many diseases will take decades to conquer7. According to the author, many human diseasesA. may be conquered.B. will be surely conquered.C. may not be conquered.D. may never be conquered.8. What does "in the short run" mean?A. to run in a short timeB. for the near futureC. for the time beingD. after enough time9. The use of the new technology in genetic screening includes all the following EXCEPTA. detecting all sorts of flaws in DNAB. fixing all sorts of flaws in DNAC. treatments that delay the attack of the diseaseD. artificial version of the protein10. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. genetic engineeringB. genetic screeningC. a new technologyD. Application of genetic engineering参考答案：AABBDPassage ThreeFor the person keeping a journal, whatever he experiences and wants to hold he can write down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus on what he has experienced, and be able to say what, in fact, the experience is What of it is new What of it is remarkable because of associations in the memory it stirs up Is it a good or bad thing to have happened And why, specifically The questions multiply themselves quickly. As one tries to find the wordsthat best represent this discovery, the experience becomes even more clearly in its shape and meaning.Beyond the value of the journal as record, there is the value of the discipline it teaches. The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happens to and around him. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of representing what he sees, and gains skill and certainty in the expression of his experiences. To have given up one's experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and potential of its meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and clarified to oneself.

These measures are contained in a communiqué issued on Tuesday at the end of a plenary session of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee.One way of doing so is to perfect a market economy of public, collective and private ownership, with public ownership still as the main pillar. But the communiqu é also stipulates that the share-holding system should be the main form in realizing public ownership so as to revitalize the state sector. Private capital will be allowed in infrastructure construction. Another step is to build an integrated nationwide market to encourage the free flow of capital and commodities. During the four-day meeting, more than 300 Central Committee members and alternative members examined and approved a work report by the Political Bureau on its work during the past year.They also approved a draft proposal with regard to amendments to the state constitution. 161 (words)16.

The researchers said the findings needed to be confirmed in larger studies but they may lead to the development of a blood test that smokers could take to determine their personal risk. (209words)21.

Which of the following is NOT true?A. Lung cancer is the biggest killer in the world.B. Smoking may cause heart disease and strokeC. The findings of Israeli researchers have to be confirmed yet.D. Smokers could take blood test to determine their personal risk21－25 BDDCAPassage SixChina is already the world's third largest producer of electronics, and becoming a player in the global appliance market. Twenty years ago, U.S., European and Japanese companies started moving into China to supply the local market with household goods. Now those same companies are getting whipped by Chinese competitors. Over the past six years, the market share of foreign TV makers in China has dropped from 70 percent to less than 20 percent. Matsushita opened the first microwave-oven plant in China in 1995. Two years later the Chinese company Galanz started making microwaves and selling them for half Matsushita's price.Chinese companies now make more than 43 million TVs yearly. Konka, one of China's largest TV makers, sells its branded TVs in the United States, and has set up factories in Mexico to service the American market; While TCL, another major TV maker, exported 11 million units from its Chinese factories last year. It has more Southeast Asian factories than any other Chinese company. (164 words)26. This passage is primarily concerned with____.A. the world's third largest producer of electronicsB. Chinese electronic companiesC. China's largest TV makersD. the increase of China's electronics27. What do "whipped" mean?A. beat with a whipB. wonC. defeatedD. suffered28.

Which of the following produces more TV sets?A. GalanzB. KonkaC. TCLD. Unknown26-30 DCCDDPassage SevenThe China boom is by now a well-documented phenomenon. Who hasn't heard of the Middle Kingdom's startling economic growth (8 percent annually), its enormous consumer market (1.2 billion people), and the investment ardor of foreign suitors ($40 billion in foreign direct investment last year alone)China is an economic marvel. According to Nicholas Lardy of the Brookings Institution, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, "No country has expanded its foreign trade as fast as China over the last 20 years. Japan doubled its foreign trade over a 20-year period; China's foreign trade as quintupled. They've become the main producer of labor-intensive manufacturing goods in the world."But there's been something missing from the dazzling China growth story-namely, the Chinese multinational. No major Chinese companies have yet established themselves, or their brands, on the global stage. But as Haier shows, that is starting to change. After 100 years of poverty and chaos, of being overshadowed by foreign countries and multinationals, Chinese industrial companies are starting to make a mark on the world. (170 words)31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. the startling Middle KingdomB. China's economic growthC. China's economic marvelD. the increase of China's foreign trade32. What does "suitor" in the first paragraph mean?A. A man who is courting a woman.B. A person who makes a petition or request.C. A person who sues in court.D. A person or group seeking to purchase.33. What does Nicholas Lardy's remark mean?A. China has succeeded economically over the last 20 years.B. China did better than Japan in economy.C. China's foreign trade developed the fastest in the world.D. China is the main producer of in the world.34. By the phrase "something missing", the author refers to____.A. the less dazzling achievementsB. the Chinese multinationalC. lack of world famous brandD. Haier Company35. Why is Haier cited in the 2nd paragraph?A. To show it is starting to change.B. To show an example of a large company.C. To show a Chinese company of world fame.D. To show a change in Chinese industrial companies.31-35 CDCCCPassage EightEarlier this year, when America first sneezed, the European Central Bank (along with most private-sector economists) argued that the euro area was insulated from America's slowdown and had little to worry about. This seems to have been wrong. In Germany there are fears about recession as business investment and retail sales tumble. Recent figures confirmed that Germany's GDP stagnated in the second quarter. Italy's GDP fell in the second quarter, and although growth has held up better in France and Spain, the growth in the euro area as a whole was close to zero in the quarter. Nobody is forecasting an actual recession in the euro area this year, but it is no longer expected to provide an engine for world growth.As for Japan, it is probably already in recession. Japan's GDP grew slightly in the first quarter. Persistent deflation continues to be a severe problem. A revisedmeasure of Japan's consumer-price index, to be published soon, is likely to show that deflation is worse than had been thought. （170 words）36. What does the 1st sentence mean?A. Earlier this year, America suffered from a cold.B. the European Central Bank believed it wouldn't be affected by US.C. the European Central Bank had little to worry about.D. The euro area was safe and sound.37. What were Germany and Italy's GDP in the second quarter?A. stagnatedB. fellC. sufferedD. halted and deceased38. What was the economic situation in France and Spain?A. Much better.B. Somewhat better.C. Close to zero.D. Much worse.39. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Japan's economy?A. It is perhaps already in decline.B. Japan's GDP grew slightly in the first quarter.C. Deflation continues to be a severe problem.D. It is worse than that of US and Europe.40. The best title for the passage isA. The world economic situationB. The world economic recessionC. The worse World economic situationD. The reason for world economic recession36-40 BDBDBPassage NineSilicon Valley is a magnet to which numerous talented engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs from overseas flock to in search of fame, fast money and toparticipate in a technological revolution whose impact on mankind will surely surpass the epoch-making European Renaissance and Industrial Revolution of the bygone age.With the rapid spread of the Internet and the relentless technological innovations generated through it, the information era is truly upon us, profoundly influencing and changing not only our lifestyle, but also the way we work, do business, think and communicate with others.It is noteworthy that close to 50% of its skilled manpower, including engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs, come from Asia. Prominent among them are Indians and Chinese, and not a few Singaporeans.Intellectual challenges aside, it is a common practice for start-ups to offer generous share options to employees in order to attract the right talent into their folds. This is a powerful incentive to motivate the staff to do their utmost and to share in the company's prosperity if it reaches its goal. Many regard this as the foundation of a successful enterprise.（184 words）41.

Intellectual challengesD. practice of successful enterprise41-45 BAADAPassage TenTo paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, "all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that opposed immunizations; she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, "Then 1 would have to say yes." Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, "Don't worry, scientists will find some way of using computers." Such well-meaning people just don't understand.Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother's hip replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst. Much can be done. Scientists could "adopt" middle school classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care.Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.46. The author begins his article with Edmund Burke's words to.A. call on scientists to take some actionsB. criticize the misguided cause of animal rightsC. warn of the doom of biomedical researchD. show the triumph of the animal rights movement47. Misled people tend to think that using an animal in research is .A. cruel but naturalB. inhuman and unacceptableC. inevitable but viciousD. pointless and wasteful48. The example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show the public's .A. discontent with animal researchB. ignorance about medical scienceC. indifference to epidemicsD. anxiety about animal rights49. The author believes that, in face of the challenge from animal rights advocates,scientists should .A. communicate more with the publicB. employ hi-tech means in researchC. feel no shame for their causeD. strive to develop new cures50. From the text we learn that Stephen Cooper is____.A. a well-known humanistB. a medical practitionerC. an enthusiast in animal rightsD. a supporter of animal research 46－50 ABBAD。

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneIt sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a silly cartoon:a futurisic traveling tube that can quickly shoot people wherever they want to go,inside a tiny pod.But this may be just around the corner for people looking for a faster,easier,and cheaper-than-ever way to trave.South African-American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk,who,in the past,has worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recently announced he has been working on the design of this traveling tube,which could forever change the way we travel the world.In an interview,Musk described the new tube as a fifth kind of transportation.“We have planes,trains,automobiles,and boats,”he explained.“What if there was a fifth mode?I have a name for it.It’s called the Hyperloop.”“This system I have in mind...can never crash,is immune to weather, it goes three or four times faster than the bullet train...it goes at an average speed of twice what an aircraft would do.You would go from downtown L.A.to downtown San Francisco in under30minutes.”People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods,which are each just over six-and-a-half feet across,and the pods would travelthrough tubes located either above round or under water.The Hyperloop could even run24/7,be cheap,and allow people to travel on their own schedule.People could show up at the Hyperloop station whenever they want and be quickly sent on their way.Additionally Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the sun—making it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes,or train systems.Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West Coasts of the United States in less than an hour.Eventually the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world.Musk is not the first person outside of science fiction novelists to dream up vacuum tube technology for moving people.The idea has been around for some time,and inventors in other countries,including China, are reportedly working on similar technology.21.The phrase"just around the corner"(Para.1)means“_______"A.preferableB.forthcomingC.reliableD.available22.The“pod”mentioned in the passage is a(n)________.A.tube-shaped music playerB.wireless earphoneC.engine that provides a driving forceD.vehicle that carries passengers23.Which of the following is NOT true of Elon Musk?A.He draws insights from science fictions.B.He has tried his hand at space fight.C.He has manufactured electric cars.D.He cares for environmental protection.24.What can be learned about the Hyperloop?A.It could be developed at a low cost.B.It would remind people of their schedule.C.It could operate round the clock.D.It would run at regular intervals.25.China is mentioned in the last paragraph in order to_________.A.demonstrate that it is an innovative countryB.give an example of those working on similar technologyC.show a successful model of vacuum tube travelingD.indicate a potential for international cooperationPassage TwoHow are you feeling today?I’ve got a few aches and pains,but nothing serious.However,when things become more critical,1would normally book myself an appointment with my doctor—although by the time I get to see him,the problem will have probably gone away.That's because in the UK at least,we usually have to wait a few days before the doctor can fit us in.Luckily today,technology has come to our rescue.There are thousands of apps available on our smartphones that can offer first aid advice and allow us to self-diagnose our sickness--ranging from a simple cold or flu to some exotic disease.And together with the internet,we have an ocean of medical information at our fingertips.But is too much knowledge a good thing?By reading up on an illness,we discover its side-effects and what could happen in a worst-case situation.More worrying is that we give ourselves the wrong diagnosis, and then worry ourselves sick that we're going to die.This health anxiety, fueled by the internet,is called“cyberchondria”.It gives sufferers a deep fear of diseases and,according to experts,it's on the rise.Professor Peter Tyrer from Imperial College London said,“We find that approximately four out of five of our patients with health anxiety spend literally hours on the internet.One of the first things we do in treatment is to tell them to stop browsing the internet."A study a few years ago also found many doctors felt intimidated by the increasing numbers of web-wise patients arriving in surgeries.Onedoctor admitted to not being very happy about patients using the internet, saying:"They all seemed to come to me with things I'd never heard of and very often with things which seem rather bizarre or inappropriate."Of course there is no doubt,the world wide web has most of the information we need to diagnose our symptoms,but Doctor Tyrer points out,“it doesn't have any judgment associated with it."This is why having a consultation with a doctor face-to-face still has its benefits.It would seem then that a virtual online doctor can prescribe a dose of useful advice,but technology hasn't replaced the human medical expert just yet.26.What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph1?A.The low efficiency of the healthcare system.B.The tips for making appointments with doctors.C.The treatment for common health problems.D.The critical challenges for general hospitals.27.Cyberchondria(Para3)can be defined as__________.A.overdependence on the internet for medical adviceB.too much knowledge abour health problemsC.health concerns caused by online informationD.incorrect diagnosis based on web knowledge28.According to the doctors,cyberchondria__________.A.can be preventedB.is not unusualC.is hard to predictD.may not last long29.How do doctors in general feel about web-wise patients?A.They are surprised at patients'wise use of online information.B.They are frightened by patients'blind trust of internet information.C.They are satisfied with patients'suficient knowledge about diseases.D.They are troubled by patients'excessive search for health information.30.According to Doctor Tyrer,what is the problem with online medical information?A.It is usually not sufficient.B.It is not always accurate.C.It fails to give judgment.D.It provides too much information.Passage ThreeMany of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various unethical acts over the past decade.They've wasted tons of food,They've underpaid their suppliers and they've contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging,which has had its impact on our environment.But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer resentment against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging,some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage.In a pledge to reuse,recycle or convert all plastic wastage by2025,supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment,with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their cwm-brand products by2023.In response to criticisms over food waste,some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus.However,charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent of supermarkets'total food surplus,so this hardly seems to be solving the problem.Some say that supermarkets are simply not doing enough.Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage,and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus food.Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener option.Shops like Berlin's Original Unverpakt and London's Bulk Market are plastic-free shops that have opened in recent years,encouraging customers to use their own containers or convertible bags.Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis viaelectric cars,offering farmers the lion's share of the retail price.There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste.But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.31.Which is NOT mentioned as an unethical act of major supermarket chains?A.Wasting large amounts of food.B.Producing excessive plastic waste.C.Underpaying their suppliers.D.Selling goods of poor quality.32.The word"pact"(Para.2)is closest in meaning to"_________".A.agreementanizationC.campaignD.program33.According to Paragraph3,supermarkets'donation of their food surplus_________A.receives high praisesB.is considered as a good charityC.is regarded as not doing enoughD.arouses more criticisms34.Farmdrop is mentioned as an example that provides___________.A.plastic-free bags and containersB.easier access to fresh produceC.a great variety of healthy foodsD.goods at more competitive prices35.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that____________A.some businesses are reluctant to reduce their wasteB.major supermarkets refuse to do public goodC.some small companies better protect the environmentD.a more sustainable future for all is soon to comePassage FourWe all know people who say they have"no sense of direction."Yet for some people that description is true in all circumstances:If they take a single wrong turn on an established route they often become totally lost. This happens even when they are just a few miles from where they live.This condition is called developmental topographic disorientation (DTD),the inability to orient within the environment.It didn't even have a formal name until2009,when Giuseppe Iaria reported his first case in the journal Neuropsychologia.Ellen Rose had been a patient of mine for years before I realized that she had this life-long learning disability.Like other people with DTD,she can follow a route in pieces,but it never becomes part of a larger spatial understanding.That's because she does not have a larger spatial understanding of her environment.I asked her to draw a diagram of the second floor of the house she shares with her daughter and son-in-law.It was a difficult task for her (she lives on the first floor but is very familiar with the second).She described her effort not as a bird looking down from above,but as a spider crawling across the paper tracing a route from one room to the Ellen has always wondered what was wrong with her.She knew that when others ascribed her problems to simply not paying attention they were mistaken She worried that her problems in traveling might be a sign of something more serious than jut getting lost easily,but had no idea what that might be.Finding out that she had DTD was a relief.Knowing that something has a name can be a liberating experience.All of a sudden it is a thing,a concept with defining characteristics.It is in a way,a kind of map.36.What is the relation between Ellen and the author?A.Student and teacherB.Subject and researcherC.Employee and employerD.Patient and doctor.37.It can be learned that people with DTD________.A.are unable to find their position in an environmentB.Find it difficult to remember where they have beenC.dislike traveling to a faraway place on their ownD.are characterized by their inability to concentrate38.From Ellen's difficulty in drawing her own house,we can infer that________.A.observing from high above is more effective than from the bottommon people tend to perceive a space from a bird's eye viewC.it is useful to get familiar with our living environmentD.people with DTD have a poor sense of vision39.How did Ellen feel about her DTD?A.She had a clear idea what it was and how to deal with it.B.She worried that she might misunderstand people around her.C.She thought she could improve her condition by paying more attention.D.She was afraid that it might bring problems other than disorientation.40.The word“map"in the last paragraph probably means”________”.A.cureB.designC.proposalD.clueSection BDirections:In this section,you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it.The biog and comments arc followed by questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Face masks are one of the best defenses against the spread of COVID-19,but their growing adoption is having a second,unintended effect:breaking facial recognition algorithms(算法).Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise to between5percent and50percent,a study by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST)has found.Black masks were more likely to cause errors than blue masks,and the more of the nose covered by the mask,the harder the algorithms found it to identify the face.“We need to understand how face recognition technology deals with masked faces,”said the author of the report and NIST computer scientist.“We have begun by focusing on how an algorithm developed before the pandemic(大流行病)might be affected by subjects wearing face masks. Later this summer,we plan to test the accuracy of algorithms that were intentionally developed with masked faces in mind.”Facial recognition algorithms such as those tested by NIST work by measuring the distances between features in a target’s face.Masks reduce the accuracy of these algorithms by removing most of these features, although some still remain.This is slightly different from how facial recognition works on iPhones,for example,which use depth sensors for extra security,ensuring that the algorithms can’t be fooled by showing the camera a picture(a danger that is not present in the scenarios NIST is concerned with).Comment1Well,that’s one good thing to come out of the pandemic.Mass surveillance is nonsense.Time to pair masks up with sunglasses to deliver the decisive stroke.Comment2“Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise sharply”Rubbish technology!I would’ve never guessed. Comment3There’s a reason why some country is already using gait(步态)analysis.Facial recognition is too easy to block or to fool.Comment4Pretty soon they are going to do…analysis.With the development of AI, there will be a way out.Comment5The AI’s getting better,though,so soon it won’t matter.Just like how you can pick out a relative or close friend even in bad CCTV footage,so too can AI.Your height,walking gait,mannerisms,voice,ears,clothing,etc, all add up to You.41.What is the passage mainly about?A.The best way to defend against COVID-19.B.Efforts to improve facial recognition technology.C.Methods to fool the facial recognition system.D.The impact of masks on facial recognition accuracy.42.The NIST study found that compared with blue masks,black masks________.A.were more widely used by the publicB.caused more errors in facial recognitionC.provided better protection against the virusD.required less complex algorithmsment1seems to be________.A.in favor of the rules for wearing face masksB.in favor of the facial recognition technologyC.against the wide use of facial recognitionD.against the requirements for wearing face masks44.Which comment views the current facial recognition technology with contempt?ment2.ment3.ment4.ment5.45.Which of the following is positive about the future technological advance?ment2and Comment3.ment1and Comment4.ment3and Comment5.ment4and Comment5.Part IV Cloze(10points)Directions:In this part,there is a passage with ten blanks.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.The English countryside has a classic image.People imagine that life in the country is slow and calm;that there are no traffic jams,no pollution,and no crime.In some places,this is true;but in46it is not.Small towns and villages are becoming more and more47; people have more space and most houses have gardens.But problems are 48.Lots of people want to live in the country and work in the city;so more and more people travel49distances each day,to go to work. Of course they don't use buses or trains;they use cars.Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning,just50big cities!The problems are very complicated!If everyone moves into the country,the peace of the countryside will51!People leave cities and big towns,to escape from urban problems;but more and more,they are52their problems with them.On warm summer days,and cold winter days,air pollution can be a big problem in large53of the south of England,not just in London.Perhaps there is54for the future.Soon Britain's population will stop rising.From about the year2030,it will perhaps start to fall.In100 year's time,there will be less people in Britain than today-perhaps two million less.No doubt there will be55pollution too;oil and petrolwill probably be rare by then.46.A.other B.the others C.others D.another47.A.famous B.beautiful C.secure D.popular48.A.declining B.growing C.solved D.involved49.A.far B.short C.remote D.long50.A.like B.as C.for D.to51.A.arise B.emerge C.continue D.disappear52.A.developing B.bringing C.causing D.creating53.A.parts B.places C.cities D.blocks54.A.fear B.plan C.hope D.vision55.A.more B.less C.much D.fewPart V Text Completion(20points)Directions:In this part,there are three incomplete texts with20 questions(Ranging from56to75).Above each text there are three or four phrases to be completed.First,use the choices provided in the box to complete the phrases.Second,use the completed phrases to fill in the blanks of the text.Note you should blacken the letters that indicate your answers on the Answer Sheet.Text OneA.connectedB.healthyC.immuneA.eating 56meals at regular timesB.can also impair our 57system functionC.are 58to the body clockA lack of quality sleep not only affects how we feel during the daytime,but 59,which is vital in protecting us from common viral illnesses.Efforts needed to sleep well that include following a sleep routine,60and not drinking too much coffee.All of these things are really interconnected in terms of their function.All of them 61.The body is like an orchestra where there's an orchestra leader that's sort of the main timer,but everybody else is playing it together and they're optimizing what they are doing.Text TwoA.true happiness 62that we have it in our livesB.they freely 63their ups and downsC.as it is a driving 64in our natureOne of the basic needs we have as humans is to connect with others.We have done this since the beginning of time 65.Close intimate friendships fill that need.There is simply no replacement for this in our lives.You can't buy it,borrow it or steal it,but 66.Experts found that people who can name several close,supportive friends—friends with whom 67—live with greater health and happiness.Text Three A.shareB.demandsC.forceA.futureB.shapeC.formD.safetyA.will adjust themselves for your68and comfortB.will69the way we live in astonishing waysC.mimicked human70and thinkingD.gains a truer glimpse of our robotic71Tiny technologies are a key to the future of robots.The old science-fiction notion of a robot pictured a large machine that72.But a visitor to the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Cambridge73.In this microworld,scientists and engineers are building new machines in other fields such as medicine and aerospace.Soon,you’ll be driving smart car and living in smart home that74.It is already clear that our tiny new tools75.By“thinking small,”scientists and dreamers are enlarging and enriching the future for all of us.绝密★启用前2020年同等学力人员申请硕士学位外国语水平全国统一考试英语试卷二姓名考号考生须知1.试卷二满分为25分。
