第三部分．完形填空
A new computer program is being praised as a life-changer for blind people. The new program is known as the KNFB Reader app. It can help users listen to the sound of 31 material.
Blind people say the KNFB Reader app will make life much 32 . They say it will help with everything 33 reading restaurant menus to studying papers in the classroom.
The KNFB Reader makes use of new pattern recognition and image-processing technology, and new hardware for smartphones. People using the app can 34 , or change the position of the camera and read materials out loud.
Users say the app has given some people greater 35 . The Reuters news service says these users made the 36 on social media sites such as Twitter. One user, named Gordon Luke, reported that he was able to use the app to read his voting card for the recent referendum in Scotland.
Ray Kurzweil told Reuters that the app will be 37 for Android mobile devices in the coming months. He said he may 38 build a version of the app for Google Glass. Google
Glass is a small computer screen that can be 39 to eyeglasses. It is able to take photographs, record video and play sound.
Ray Kurzweil 40 that “Google Glass makes sense because you 41 the camera with your head.”
Mr. Kurzweil started working on what he called “reading machines” in the early 1970s. The idea came after speaking with a blind person who expressed 42 with the lack of technology to assist blind people.
Mr. Kurzweil’s first reading machine was the 43 of a washing machine. It cost $50,000.
The technology has continued to improve over the past 40 years. The new smartphone app can 44 and take printed material in one language and change it to another language. But it was not available on a mobile device until now. In the past, it cost more than $1,000 to use the software app with a camera and a mobile phone.
The 45 of the KNFB Reader app comes at a time when the technology industry is facing 46 . Critics say the industry is 47 concerned about making software programs for sharing photos and video games.
Bryan Bashin leads the non-profit group Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco. He is also blind. He says the KNFB app shows the positive impact that 48 can have. He says there are times in his life when he wishes the KNFB app were available to him. He adds that the ability to gain information quickly with something that 49 in your pocket at a fast speed will be, what he 50 , “a game changer.”

第四部分．阅读理解

You might think that good-looking men have every advantage in life. But a new study suggests being handsome may not always work in a man’s favour – at least when it comes to his career.
The research claims that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive workplace because they intimidate bosses.
‘It’s not always an advantage to be pretty,’ says Marko Pitesa, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland. ‘It can backfire if you are perceived as a threat.’
Interestingly, in Pitesa’s study, it was male attractiveness in particular, rather than female beauty, that made the most difference.
If the interviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team, then he preferred good-looking men.
However, if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential competitor, the interviewer discriminated in favor of unattractive men.
In the first experiment, 241 adults were asked to evaluate fictional job candidates based on fake qualifications and experience, in an online setting.
Men evaluated men and women evaluated women. Interviewers were primed to either think of the candidate as a future co-operator or competitor, and they were given a computer-generated headshot that was either attractive or unattractive.
A second experiment involved 92 people in a lab. They were asked to evaluate future competitors or partners in a quiz game, based on credentials that included sample quiz answers, and they saw similar headshots.
The patterns of discrimination based on perceived self-interest were the same.
Another test opened up to include men interviewing women and women interviewing men.
There was still a preference to cooperate with the attractive man and compete against the unattractive man.
A final experiment used photographs of actual European business school students, vetted for attractiveness, and found the same pattern.
The results suggest that interviewers were not blinded by beauty, and instead calculated which candidate would further their own career.
‘The dominant theoretical perspective in the social sciences for several decades has been that biases and discrimination are caused by irrational prejudice,’ Pitesa says.
‘The way we explain it here, pretty men just seem more competent, so it is actually subjectively rational to discriminate for or against them.’
On a deeper level, she adds, the behavior remains irrational, since there’s no evidence that a real link exists between looks and competence.
51. According to the first three paragraphs, why do attractive men sometimes have difficulty finding a job?
A. They are considered as potential threatens.
B. They are considered as potential distractions.
C. They seem to be hard to cooperate with.
D. They seem to be uncompetitive.
52. According to the results of the three experiments, which of the following is true?
A. Interviewees’ attractiveness blinds the interviewers.
B. Interviewees ‘attractiveness doesn’t play any role in interviews.
A. Interviewees hold advantages when interviewers are picking their team members.
B. Interviewers prefer unattractive people when they are expanding their teams.
53. The passage focuses on ________.
A. why attractive men are less competitive
B. why attractive women are more likely to land a job
C. how irrational prejudice towards appearance works
D. whether looks are related to competence
B
Personally, I love writing reviews of any kind mostly because that way I can put all my thoughts about the subject on the paper. Before we go on, I have to mention it is different when you write a review for yourself i.e. your blog or website and for your professor in college.
To an untrained eye, reviews may seem pointless. What’s the point of writing about something when other people and your professor have already read the book? Isn’t it enough to talk about it in the class?
Just as movie reviews develop your critical thinking, book reviews do the same. It is not enough to read a book and call it a day; you have to establish your opinion, your likes, and dislikes. When a professor gives you this assignment, he/she wants to see your abilities to analyze the book and use vocabulary skills to discuss different parts of the plot.
Since we are accustomed to writing book reports at a very young age, it comes as no surprise we don’t’ think book reviews are different than a book report. Contrary to the popular belief, book reviews and book reports are two different types of writing. Knowing how they differ is essential for writing a high-quality paper that will guarantee a good grade.
Book reports usually centre around topical details about the author and the plot of the story. On the other hand, a book review is a more complicated approach to understanding and discussing a book. It doesn’t centre around a summary of each section, but you have to carry out a thorough analysis. As you grow and develop as a student, so does your ability to think critically. You don’t just sum up what you’ve just read but analyze every piece of the puzzle in order to show the ability not only to pay attention to detail but also engage thinking critically. Here, you have to be careful that you aren’t, actually, just retelling the story.
While book reviews may contain some elements of book reports e.g. author, characters, plot, the emphasis is to provide a more detailed insight, go deeper and elaborate strengths and weaknesses of the book, and discuss the elements of the story.
You know the difference between book reports and book reviews, now what? Now you’re ready to begin the assignment. In order to write a thorough book review, you have to pay attention to everything about the book, which is why writing down the information about the author, genre, etc. is strongly advised. That’s why you’ll need a pen and notebook where you can write everything.
54. According to the passage, what should be done before starting to write a review?
A. Identifying the target reader
B. Consulting with your professor
C. Developing an interest in reviews.
D. Listing all your thoughts on the paper.
55. The author shows the importance of a book review mainly by ______.
A. giving a solid example
B. making a reasonable assumption
C. drawing a valid comparison
D. providing a detailed description
56. Where does the fundamental difference between a report and a review lie?
A. Objective summary B. Critical comments
C. Thorough comprehension D. Personal abilities
C
The world’s most complex biological computer, made from a group of engineered cells, could one day be implanted into the body to detect diseases and deliver treatments.
In an early research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a reaction inside the cell that would make it shine different colors. The other cell worked in the same way but could substract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in fact it failed.
Most biological reactions in the body aren’t that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and one output”----instead, multiple inputs lead to different outputs. For instance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a high level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition.
To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complex mathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multi-cellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other.
The system has nine cells, each containing a biochemical reaction that responds to three chemical inputs----similar to an AND, NOT and OR system in a traditional electronic circuit. These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals that pass from one cell to the other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit that can respond to multiple inputs.
“Although it is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals, we believe it is the most complex biological computer ever assembled,” says Fussenegger. “This work addresses one of the major limitations in synthetic biology (合成生物学)---a lack of programmable devices,” says Angel Goni-Moreno, a synthetic biologist at Newcastle University, UK. He says that Fussenegger’s multicellular approach enables you to programme the circuit and achieve different calculations just by connecting the nine cells in different configurations(设置).
In the future, a biological computer like this could be used to monitor more complex medical conditions. For example, it could respond to a rise in calcium, a drop in a hormone and an increase in a biomarker, which together would signal the presence of a specific type of cancer, help diagnose it and alert the user to seek appropriate treatment.
57. The underlined word “substract” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. add up B. take away C. split up D. give away
58. What was the progress made in Fusseneger’s early research?
A. A biological circuit was implanted in one of kidney cells.
B. The indication of infectious substances became a reality.
C. Engineered kidney cells could switch on biological reactions.
D. Certain cells were made capable of performing mathematics
59. What has made Fussenegger’s current multi-cellular system so special?
A. It has all the functions of a traditional electronic circuit
B. It is programmable and able to perform different mathematics.
C. It has successfully packed multiple calculations into a single cell.
D. It has been tested through a series of experiments on animals.
60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Smart cells indicating various cancers
B. Electronic circuit made from multi-cells
C. Programmable cells implanted in human bodies
D. Biological computer made from human cells

According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.
Using Charles Dickens’s nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickens’ own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, not only read on the page.
Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary（孤独的） reading. Reading aloud was a tool for parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduced literature to their children, and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read to his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.
Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.
Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1870 by the Education Act, a considerable number of people from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickens’s readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thus illiteracy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted
form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.
A working-class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting was bad, and the home was also often half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurred the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickens’s popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.
Different readers of Dickens were not reading solitarily and “jealously”, to use Walter Benjamin’s term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in today’s world. Modern audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth-and twentieth-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloud---such as “listeners attentive to a reading voice” and the ear being the focus---it is a far more solitary activity.
61. What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 1?
A. The history of reading aloud.
B. The significance of reading aloud.
C. The development of reading practice.
D. The roles of readers in reading practice.
62. How did the practice of reading aloud influence Dickens’s works?

B. He included more readable contents in his novels.
C. Scenes of reading aloud became common in his works
D. His works were intended to be both heard and read.

A.2 B. 3 C. 4 D.5
64.Where could a London steel worker possibly have gone to for reading?
A. Working place. B. His/Her own house
C.Nearby bookstores D. Trafalgar Square
65. What change did reading aloud bring to Victorian society?
A. Different classes started to appreciate and read literary works together.
B. People from lower social classes became accepted as middle-class.
C. The differences between classes grew less significant than before.
D. A non-class society in which everyone could read started to form.

Cycling is the new golf
Traditionally, business associates would get to know each other over a round of golf. But road
cycling is fast catching up as the preferred way of networking for the modern professional. A growing number of corporate-sponsored charity bike rides and city cycle clubs are providing an ideal opportunity to talk shop with like-minded colleagues and clients(客户) while discussing different bike frames. Many believe cycling is better than golf for building lasting working relationships, or landing a new job, because it is less competitive.
“When you play golf with somebody you have to decide if you’re going to beat them, or let them beat you,” says Peter Murray, a former architect. “If they’re a client and you don’t want to beat them you have to sort of cheat in order to lose. That seems to me not a good way of doing things.” Group cycling, and especially long-distance riding, is a shared experience, Mr. Murray says. Riders often work together and help each other out, taking turns to be at the front so that the riders in their slipstream can save almost a third of the effort needed to travel at the same speed.
In 2005, Mr. Murray, who is a keen long-distance rider, founded the annual Cycle to Cannes bike ride. This six-day charity event brings together architects who want to cycle 1,500km from London to the MIPIM property fair in southern France each March. It has raised £1.5m for a range of charities in Britain and abroad.
How someone rides a bike can give you a real insight into what a person is like, says Jean-Jacques Lorraine, a regular participant of Cycle to Cannes. “There is an easy rhythm about conversations on a bike. I often find I’m saying things on a bike which I wouldn’t normally say, and equally I’ve been confided in when I wasn’t expecting it. Some riders are very single-minded, others more collaborative; some are tactical, others an open book.”
Many long-distance bike riders say cycling, especially over long distances, simply makes them feel good; it lifts their mood and concentrates things down to the essentials. “The pattern of fuelling, riding, fuelling, arriving, celebrating, sleeping and fuelling again puts all the focus on riding and the company of your fellow riders,” says Simon Mottram, chief executive of Rapha, a premium cycling-clothes brand. The simple repetitiveness eases the stresses and pressures of normal life, he adds.
Why do cycle rides lend riders so well to networking and making professional contacts? “Grabbing a quick lunch or drink after work, while great for different reasons doesn’t give you long enough to get to know someone,” he says. Mr. Murray believes long rides break down conventional hierarchical(等级制度) barriers. “A younger rider can be cycling along with a chief executive and help them in some way and you get a reversal of the relationship. This changes the relationship when they are off the ride too.”
Perhaps the most compelling reason why cycling is a good way to network is because, for many professionals, it’s a passion and a way of life they share. “Getting out on the bike is what we’re all dreaming of doing while we’re sitting at our computers,” says Mr Mottram.

第54题 根据定位词before starting to write a review, 我们定位到第一段第2句话，when you write a review for yourself, i.e. your blog or website and for you professor in college. 即写书评之前要明确对象，是写给你自己还是写给你的教授，即明确对象(target reader)，选A。
第55题 此文第三段，第四段，思五段，第六段，第七段不断在对比book review 与book report 的区别，反复出现对比用词，比如different from, while, the difference between A and B , Just as等词，即写作手法为drawing a valid comparison
第56题 此题需要总结概括第五段和第六段的内容，第五段讲book report强调复述故事，而book review强调insight, elaborate strengths and weaknesses, discuss the element,等主观性东西，即book review更加强调自己的批判性思维，选B。
C篇 BDBD
第57题 如果有一定单词量的积累那能够直接知道subtract的含义，减去。在文中当句the other cell worked inthe same way but could subtract amounts。因为是but表示转折所以与上文应该相反。上文提及one of the cells was able to calculate addition. 上文是加法所以这里应该是减法，减去。所以答案选择B，take away.
第58题 首先找到定位词“Fussenegger’s early research”定位到文章第二段。文中原文“MartinFussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidneycells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics”因此前期研究是做出了能够进行数学计算的细胞回路。所以答案选择D。
第59题 文中倒数第三段“These cells coordinate their activities by releasing chemicals thatpass from one to the other. Together, they form a fully biological circuit thatcan respond to multiple inputs.”因此B选项正确。A选项显然错误。C选项错误，文中“thesystem has nine cells”。D选项错误文中“Althoughit is not at a stage yet where we can test on animals.”
第60题 A选项概括不全面，文中最后一段“A biological computer likethis could be used to monitor more complex medical conditions”二部仅仅是指示癌症。B选项错误，应当是biological circuit。C选项错误，并没有移植。由排除法得D选项正确。
D篇 ADBDCB
第61题 文中第一段主要在讲述中世纪和16,17世纪大声朗读的传统因此选A。B选项只在最后一句提及了大声阅读的重要性甚至延续到了19世纪，但是并不是段落的重点。C选项错误，第一段没有提及阅读方式的发展，始终在提大声阅读。D选项错误，无中生有，没有提及。
第62题 文中原文“More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practicewhen composing his prose, so much so that his writing is meant to be heard, notonly read on the page”，所以答案选择D。
第63题 定位到文章第三段，好处有“promoting a pleasant family relationship”“protect young people from the danger of solitary reading” “parental guidance”,因此好处一共有三点，选择B。parental guidance后面的内容都是对其的具体阐述，并不是单独的好处。
第64题 文中提及“A working-class home was in many ways not convenient for reading…”所以不是家里。“tend to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks andsquares”所以答案选择D。
第65题 文中原文“Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurredthe distinctions between classes”所以答案选择C，阶级之间的不同比起之前变得不那么重要了。
第66题 文中提出“it is a far more solitary activity”作者在这里指出了现代阅读的问题，因此接下来作者很可能将继续讨论现代阅读造成的伤害，也就是孤独的阅读造成的伤害，所以答案选择B。

Possible version
A father lost temper on her daughter who tried to persuade him to use a pair of serving chopsticks during dinner. A survey has been conducted about whether it is necessary to use communal chopsticks at home.
As the charts illustrate, 29% of the people surveyed use serving chopsticks when dining at home while 71% do not. Reasons vary. 52% of them think it unnecessary while 4% think it troublesome. The rest worry the practice may hurt their parents’ feelings.
In my view, it is necessary to use serving chopsticks even when we dine at home. There is no denying that the suggestion of using serving chopsticks may ruin harmonious family atmosphere, especially in Chinese culture. However, as a saying goes, disease enters by the mouth. Priority should always be given to health and hygiene.
If I were the daughter, I would express my gratitude for the delicious food they prepare and suggest we use a pair of serving chopsticks to prevent disease from spreading. I would also offer to do the washing if they think it would bring much trouble to use more chopsticks.
