Reading comprehension Section A Innovation, the elixir (灵丹妙药) of progress, has
always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution hand weavers were ___36___ aside by
the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has ___37___ many of the
mid-skill jobs that underpinned 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers
and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were. For
those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption
is a natural part of rising ___38___. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and
better ones, as a more ___39___ society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand
more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was ___40___ on
a farm. Today less than 2% of them produce far more food. The millions freed from the land were
not rendered ___41___, but found better-paid work as the economy grew more sophisticated.
Today the pool of secretaries has___42___, but there are ever more computer programmers and
web designers. Optimism remains the right starting-point, but for workers the dislocating
effects oftechnology may make themselves evident faster than its ___43___. Even if new jobs
and wonderful products emerge, in the short term income gaps will widen, causing huge social
dislocation and perhaps even changing politics. Technology's ___44___ will feel like a tornado (旋风), hitting the rich world first, but ___45___ sweeping through poorer countries too. No
government is prepared for it.
Section B
Why the Mona Lisa Stands Out
[A] Have you ever fallen for a novel and been amazed not to find it on lists of great books? Or
walked around a sculpture renowned as a classic, struggling to see what the fuss is about? If so,
you‟ve probably pondered the question Cutting asked himself that day: how does a work of art
come to be considered great?
[B] The intuitive answer is that some works of art are just great: of intrinsically superior quality.
The paintings that win prime spots in galleries, get taught in classes and reproduced in books are
the ones that have proved their artistic value over time. If you can‟t see they‟re superior, that‟s
your problem. It‟s an intimidatingly neat explanation. But some social scientists have been asking
awkward questions of it, raising the possibility that artistic canons are little more than fossilised
historical accidents.
[C] Cutting, a professor at Cornell University, wondered if a psychological mechanism known as
the “mere-exposure effect” played a role in deciding which paintings rise to the top of the
cultural league. Cutting designed an experiment to test his hunch. Over a lecture course he
regularly showed undergraduates works of impressionism for two seconds at a time. Some of the
paintings were canonical, included in art-history books. Others were lesser known but of
comparable quality. These were exposed four times as often. Afterwards, the students preferred
them to the canonical works, while a control group of students liked the canonical ones best. Cutting‟s students had grown to like those paintings more simply because they had seen them 2
more.
[D] Cutting believes his experiment offers a clue as to how canons are formed. He points out that
the most reproduced works of impressionism today tend to have been bought by five or six
wealthy and influential collectors in the late 19th century. The preferences of these men
bestowed prestige on certain works, which made the works more likely to be hung in galleries
and printed in anthologies. The fame passed down the years, gaining momentum from mere
exposure as it did so. The more people were exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more
they liked it, the more it appeared in books, on posters and in big exhibitions. Meanwhile,
academics and critics created sophisticated justifications for its pre-eminence. After all, it‟s not
just the masses who tend to rate what they see more often more highly. As contemporary artists
like Warhol and Damien Hirst have grasped, critical acclaim is deeply entwined with publicity.
“Scholars”, Cutting argues, “are no different from the public in the effects of mere exposure.”
[E] The process described by Cutting evokes a principle that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls
“cumulative advantage”: once a thing becomes popular, it will tend to become more popular still.
A few years ago, Watts, who is employed by Microsoft to study the dynamics of social networks,
had a similar experience to Cutting in another Paris museum. After queuing to see the “MonaLisa”

below. You should start you essay with a brief description of the picture and then comment on
this kind of modern life. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
命题解析
本题要求首先简要描述图画，然后评论这种现代生活。图画显示：现代人无论工作、居家、娱乐还是睡眠，都与电脑密不可分。显而易见，本题主旨为电脑或网络对现代生活的影响。
国内写作考试中已经反复考察电脑或网络这一热点话题。2002年6月四级写作考察“大学生使用电脑情况”，2009年考研写作考察“网络的‘近’与‘远’”，2012年6月六级写作考察“网络对人际共同的影响”，2013年12月四级写作考察“网络对人们沟通方式的影响”。2015年6月，四级写作再次考察电脑或网络这一话题。如果考生研究过之前的写作真题，诸多表达均可使用。
写作思路
1、本题首段应简要描述图画，指出人们无论工作、家庭、休闲或休息，都与电脑关系密切。
2、次段最好进行正反论证，说明电脑有利有弊：一方面可以满足工作生活的需要并娱乐自我，另一方面过度沉迷也会浪费大量的时间和精力。
3、第三段最好提出建议措施：我们应该扬长避短，在合理使用电脑的同时，避免过度沉迷。

how to deal with misleading information
as is revealed in the picture, a man is sitting in front of the
computer searching information from the internet, while a
woman is standing by the door, holding a cup of coffee. the
most striking feature is the caption under the picture, which
reads “i just feel unfortunate to live in a world with so much
misleading information!”
simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking. by no means can we deny that the internet is
playing such an increasingly important role in our information
society that we couldn’t be away from it in every way. for
instance, we deal with all kinds of data and information
everyday by the internet. nevertheless, with a large amount of
information coming up, the severity of misleading information
