Libraries are my world. I've been a patron（老主顾）all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country 36 through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work 37 a career and business center, a community gathering place and a base for hope.
In the spring of 2007 I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually 38 , but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax 39 . Yet patrons weren't looking for Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business.
I 40 people's interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were 41 reality, and they were looking for Plan B.

第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Reader’s Travel Photography Competition
This month’s images include some original and brilliant shots. The overall 2017 winner will receive a $200 holiday ticket and go on a 16-night wildlife holiday.
Doug Scott
Guess what the young monk is doing! He is playing with his smart phone in secret.
PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Smart phones have taken over the world. Even without the photographer’s caption there is composition, humor and fun here. To the outsider, he could be having a short sleep, or lost in meditation. My eyes stop on this for a while and the admission of smart phones cannot be changed in any corner of the world.
Eloise Campbell
I was able to follow this young eagle hunter and his eagle in the mountains of Mongolia and watched how it was trained. Though the bond between them was new, to me it seemed unbreakable—they were coexisting peacefully with each other.
Adam Cunningham White
This shot grasps the moment when we had to change direction with this group of around 300 migrating reindeer in northern Sweden. They can become confused very quickly, making this moment risky. They could run in different directions immediately, making it difficult to get them back into a group.
Nick Dale
This is a close-up of the left eye of a zebra.
PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Perfect, I have seen these before but rarely done with this competence. The depth of field
is exactly right. The bold cropping and blue to the left make people interested. Zebras are easy to photograph but not often this well.
51. What does Doug Scott probably want to tell us with his photo?
A. The monk’s life is full of pleasure.
B. What we see is not necessarily true.
C. The monk’s mental world should be noticed.
D. Smart phones are involved in people’s life worldwide.
52. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The winner of the photography competition will receive $200 as an award.
B. A harmonious atmosphere is reflected in Eloise Campbell’s photo.
C. The picture of migrating reindeer is taken in southern Sweden.
D. Nick Dale’s courage to approach wild animals impresses the judge most.
B
Tom Savage has quit his job as a research analyst and found a perfect new start setting up his own social enterprise in Madagascar. He tells readers of the UK newspaper the Guardian that they can do likewise and follow their dream.
Every day dozens of Toms are reported in newspapers and magazines and on career websites and blogs. Their real-life tales aren’t there to surprise or shock, as a result, many readers are taking on board.
Sophie Collins, 23, is a biology graduate from London. But before starting her course at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, she took a year out and enrolled in an Art Foundation course. “Art makes me happy, even if it won’t pay my bills for a couple of years.” said Collins.
The idea that you should be free to follow your dream, whether as a young person or as a middle-aged adult with a well-established career, is on the upgrade.
In schools, students are taught that they can do whatever they want and can be whoever they choose so long as they work hard enough at that dream. People in the public eye, such as Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli, have given up positions
in admirable professions to take their chance on fame. Bocelli was a lawyer before he made it as a singer, selling 70 million albums worldwide.
The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their heart.
In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony.
Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come.
Even if they don’t have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later tire of.
George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him. “I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won’t truly succeed.”
51. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Sophie Collins took an art course before entering university to pursue her interest.
B. Andrea Bocelli, who used to be a lawyer, enjoys great success as a classical singer.
C. Ray Quinn achieved his career success though he had performed poorly at school.
D. George Evans thinks happiness counts more than money when choosing a career.
54. What does the underlined phrase mean?
A. sharing the same boat B. accepting the idea
C. rejecting the concept D. ignoring the fact
55. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Choose a career that truly appeals to you.
B. Make efforts to be interested in your job.
C. Make attempts to seek a meaningful career.
D. Build up confidence when seeking a job.
C
In 1970 archaeologists digging at Ein Gedi, an ancient settlement on the shores of what is now called the Dead Sea, dug up a scroll(卷册) which was written around 200-300 AD. But sadly, it was indeed so damaged in a fire that any attempt to handle it simply made things worse. That left archaeologists with a cruel dilemma: attempt to read their discovery, which would destroy it, or preserve it as found, but remain ignorant of what they said.
Technology, however, marches on. In a paper just published in Science Advances, a team led by William Seales, a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky, describe how they have managed to read the charred(烧焦的) scroll without having to open it—or, indeed, to touch it at all.
The first part of Dr Seales’s remote-reading method was to take an X-ray of the scroll, or rather, multiple X-rays from different directions that could be combined by a computer into a 3D representation of the scroll’s inside. This is a well-established procedure. It is, for example, the basis of medical scanning. The real magic came when the 3D image was fed into a series of computer algorithms that attempted to “unroll” the scroll, leaving it to be read at an archaeologist’s leisure.
To do this, the algorithms in question had to perform several tricky tasks, the first of which was to work out how to distinguish particular layers(层) of the rolled-up scroll from those above and below. The next step was to look for small density(浓度) variations that might reflect the presence or absence of ink— and thus reveal individual letters. The final task was to take the hundreds of small images picked out by the algorithms and put them into a single, larger one. This was a matter both of science and of art. The algorithms got the jigsaw(拼图游戏) right only half of the time, meaning people had to do much of the work by hand.
The result, though, is worth the effort. The outcome of Dr Seales’s labour is a computer image showing the scroll as it would look if it were unrolled. The resolution is so good that the text is easily recognized. The scroll turns out to be part of Leviticus. It is thus the oldest known example of one of the first five books of the
Bible.
56. What was archaeologists’ headache about the scroll?
A. The words on the scroll were beyond recognition.
B. The condition of the scroll was beyond preservation.
C. The scroll was unlikely to be read without destruction.
D. The repairing of the scroll was difficult to complete.
57. What is the key to Dr Seales’s remote-reading method?
A. Multiple X-rays. B. Computer algorithms.
C. Particular layers. D. Density variations.
58. What does the writer mean by “tricky” in paragraph 4?
A. The tasks involve much accurate work.
B. The tasks involve great patience and efforts.
C. The tasks involve skills of science and art.
D. The tasks involve humans’ work by hand.
59. What is the result of Dr Seales’s effort on the scroll?
A. The scroll is unrolled to be easily recognized.
B. The scroll is repaired to be easily recognized.
C. The scroll is easily recognized as it was.
D. The scroll is found to be the oldest known Bible.
D
In 2009 a new flu virus was discovered. Combining elements of the viruses that cause bird flu and swine flu, this new virus, named H1N1, spread quickly. Within weeks, public health agencies around the world feared a terrible pandemic (流行病) was under way. Some commentators warned of an outbreak on the scale of the 1918 Spanish flu. Worse, no vaccine(疫苗) was readily available. The only hope public health authorities had was to slow its spread. But to do that, they needed to know where it already was.
In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) required that doctors inform them of new flu cases. Yet the picture of the pandemic that showed up was always a week or two out of date. People might feel sick for days but wait before consulting a doctor. Relaying the information back to the central
organizations took time, and the CDC only figured out the numbers once a week. With a rapidly spreading disease, a two-week lag is an eternity. This delay completely blinded public health agencies at the most urgent moments.
Few weeks before the H1N1 virus made headlines, engineers at the Internet giant Google published a paper in Nature. It got experts’ attention but was overlooked. The authors explained how Google could “predict” the spread of the winter flu, not just nationally, but down to specific regions and even states. Since Google receives more than three billion search queries every day and saves them all, it had plenty of data to work with.
Google took the 50 million most common search terms that Americans type and compared the list with CDC data on the spread of seasonal flu between 2003 and 2008. The idea was to identify areas affected by the flu virus by what people searched for on the Internet. Others had tried to do this with Internet search terms, but no one else had as much data-processing power, as Google.
While the Googlers guessed that the searches might be aimed at getting flu information—typing phrases like “medicine for cough and fever”—that wasn’t the point: they didn’t know, and they designed a system that didn’t care. All their system did was look for correlations(相关性) between the frequency of certain search queries and the spread of the flu over time and space. In total, they processed 450 million different mathematical models in order to test the search terms, comparing their predictions against actual flu cases from the CDC in 2007 and 2008. And their software found a combination of 45 search terms that had a strong correlation between their prediction and the official figures nationwide. Like the CDC, they could tell where the flu had spread, but unlike the CDC they could tell it in near real time, not a week or two after the fact.
Thus when the H1N1 crisis struck in 2009, Google’s system proved to be a more useful and timely indicator than government statistics with their natural reporting lags. Public health officials were armed with valuable information.
Strikingly, Google’s method is built on “big data”—the ability of society to handle information in new ways to produce useful insights or goods and services
of significant value. However, ▲ . For example, in 2012 it identified a sudden rise in flu cases, but overstated the amount, perhaps because of too much media attention about the flu. Yet what is clear is that the next time a pandemic comes around, the world will have a better tool to predict and thus prevent its spread.
60. The beginning paragraph aims to _____.
A. announce the discovery of a new virus
B. describe how severe the disaster was
C. criticize the inability of the authorities
D. introduce the background information
61. The “an eternity” in Paragraph 2 refers to a period of time that is _____.
A. too long to bear
B. too hard to kill
C. too easy to spend
D. too short to use
62. Google’s processing of data to predict the H1N1 crisis does NOT include _____.
A. selecting the data from its database
B. checking the data with the CDC database
C. ensuring the accuracy of its data
D. relating the data to actual flu cases
63. Google was better than CDC at predicting the H1N1 crisis in that _____.
A. Google had more data that were accurate
B. Google had more data that were updated
C. Google had more reports of H1N1 symptoms
D. Google had more medical resources on H1N1
64. Which of the following is best suited to the blank “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph?
A. it has drawn too much media attention
B. it does not have as much value as expected
C. it has lost its own advantages nowadays
D. it still needs to be improved as a newcomer
65. The best title of the passage is probably _____.
A. Big Data Finding New Virus
B. Big Data Finding New Cures
C. Big Data Killing New Virus
D. Big Data Seeing New Trends

Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. For most teachers, there are many advantages to homework as follows: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals outside the classroom; homework correction allows teachers to know more about how well their students learn and provide some relevant advice. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.
There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend’s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. It’s obvious that certain places are not suitable for doing homework. What’s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the involvement of other adults. Parents play an significant role in a child’s education, but they can’t always be available, and a tutor’s ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter’s study may be limited in many ways. The implication is upsetting: if homework is important to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.
If the idea of home can be problematic, so can the concept of work. Again, this will depend largely on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间) mean homework is usually something to be completed as fast as possible and ticked off as done. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not,
copied from a friend or downloaded from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.
The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.
Is there a way out for homework?
Most teachers’ (66) ▲ towards homework
It is necessary that a student (67) ▲ what he or she learned in class through doing homework.
In the course of doing homework, a student can become an (68) ▲ learner.
Teachers can know about a student’s academic (69) ▲ and give their feedback by correcting homework.
Some (70) ▲ with homework
The places where homework is done isn’t (71) ▲ to a home setting, which also include somewhere unsuitable.
Homework isn’t always effective in that some students (72) ▲ the involvement of other adults.
The (73) ▲ of homework may cause teachers and students to be simply (74) ▲ with its completion.
Conclusion
(75) ▲ many advantages of homework, it doesn’t always work well as expected in reality.

Scientists have observed that humans experience happiness from a wide range of stimuli(刺激), from traveling to an ideal destination to redecorating one’s home or from winning a game of soccer to eating a delicious meal. Simply watching a favorite television show or laughing at a funny joke can lift a depressed mood. While the happiness produced by such experiences tends to be short lived, a wide social network does promote a more long-lasting state of happiness as a lifestyle.
Surprisingly, income is not a primary factor in determining a person’s level of happiness once the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter have been met. More important is one’s social network. Being socially active may be more effective in increasing one’s immunity（免疫力）to illness than a vaccine. Misery may love company, but so does happiness, and having close friends and family is vital to one’s overall level of happiness. Even sharing one’s home with an animal companion can make a person happier.

第六部分 书面表达 (满分20分)
Scientists have found that although various factors contribute to humans’ happiness, it is one’s social network, rather than one’s income, that plays an important role in promoting the long-lasting state of happiness.
Personally, happiness means achieving success after constant efforts. Take my
participation in an English speech competition for example. Initially, I was lacking in confidence in my oral English. However, I held the belief that practice makes perfect. So, I kept practicing speaking English as long as two hours every day and consulted my English teacher about my pronunciation. Finally, my efforts paid off. When I was awarded the first prize, I felt a strong sense of happiness.
Faced with huge pressure from our study, we should do something to promote our sense of happiness. First, we should set a clear goal and keep it in mind. In addition, we can build friendships with optimistic people and move forward with their support.

阅读理解
Ａ篇
51. D根据Doug Scott部分smart phones have taken over the world和the admission of
smart phones cannot be changed in any corner of the world.可知答案为D。
51. B 根据Eloise Campbell部分the bond seemed unbreakable--they were coexisting peacefully with each other可知答案为B。
Ｂ篇
52. C 根据倒数第四段Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor，并未提及Ray Quinn performed poorly at school可知答案为C。
53. B 根据划线短语前后Tom Savage和Sophie Collins的例子可知，读者接受了dozens of Toms的寻梦的观点。
54. A 通读全文，尤其是最后三段中的to find where their interests lie和to find a job which interests him可知，本文的主旨是寻找你真正喜欢的工作。
C篇
55. C 根据第一段“That left archaeologists with a cruel dilemma: attempt to read their discovery, which would destroy it, or preserve it as found, but remain ignorant of what they said.”可知答案。
56. B 根据第三段“The real magic came when the 3D image was fed into a series of computer algorithms that attempted to “unroll” the scroll,...”可知答案。
57. A 目标词汇出现在第四段的主题句中，因此tricky对下文三个步骤的特征起到统摄作用。细读下文可知，the algorithms需要完成的任务十分精细。B项未提及，C项和D项只涉及最后一步，不全面。
58. C 根据最后一段“The outcome of Dr Seales’s labour is a computer image showing the scroll as it would look if it were unrolled.”可知答案。
Ｄ篇
59. D 本文的主旨是介绍大数据（big data）在2009年H1N1病毒流行疫情中的预测运用，显然首段是为引出主题提供背景。

62. C 根据第四段“Google took the 50 million most common search terms that Americans type and compared the list with CDC data on the spread of seasonal flu between 2003

63. B 根据第五段最后一句“Like the CDC, they could tell where the flu had spread, but unlike the CDC they could tell it in near real time, not a week or two after the fact.”可知答案。
64. D 根据最后一段的上下文可以看出作者对大数据技术总体持肯定态度（排除B和C项），但也承认它有待改进（应选D）。
65. D 通读全文可知，大数据技术并不是医疗手段，也不能解决医学问题；它的主要贡献是可以及时对潜在的趋势或风险进行预测，因此选D。

Welcome back to Natural Medicine. We turn our attention to the subject of headaches, which everyone gets from time to time. We asked 100 people what they did to deal with their headaches. 18As you can see on the chart here, the most common answer was “Taking
headache pills”. The next most common answer was “Rubbing my head”. “Sleeping”, “Taking a shower”, and “Eating a snack” were some of the other responses. But the best cure for a headache that we know of was all the way down at No.10, so it’s something that most people don’t think about doing: “Drinking water”. It’s true: headaches are often the body’s way of telling you that it’s thirsty, and a glass of water might be all you need to feel like yourself again. Experts say that room-temperature water is better for you than cold water if you’re thirsty. Of course, some people get very serious headaches because they are sensitive to light, sound, or certain smells. These headaches are different, and many people have to take strong medicine in order to make them go away. 19If you hurt your head and have a headache afterward, it is important that you see a doctor right away, as this could be due to a more serious injury. But if it’s a normal headache, try drinking some water before you reach those pills. It might be just what you need. 17OK, we’ll be right back after these commercials...
