A
As is tradition, technology companies from around the world have flocked to Las Vegas for the annual
Consumer Electronics Show. There are thousands of eye-catching items to swoon over, whether you’re a nerd or not.
Here are a few of the most interesting, exciting and possibly life-changing products seen at the show, which runs from
Tuesday to Friday.
Item 1
You thought your curved TV was cool? The LG Signature
OLED TV R is a 65-inch 4K TV that is, unlike your lame and
rigid screen, rollable, and can retract(收回) into its base when
you’re not enjoying it. While you can control it using either
Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, the TV R also supports
Apple’s AirPlay 2 and HomeKit.Item 2
Gaming laptops aren’t new, but they usually lack power
compared to their beefier desktop counterparts. Nvidia’s latest
announcement changes that, and brings the desktop-class
power found in its RTX line of graphics cards to laptops. More
than 40 laptop models will turn up by the end of the month with
RTX graphics cards inside, which can produce more realistic
graphics and boost performance for the most gamers.
Item 3
If sleeping is harder than it should be the Dreem band might
be able to help you figure out what you’re doing wrong. The
Dreem band is a fabric-covered headband that wraps around
your head and uses a combination of sensors like the ones in
your Apple Watch to detect various biometrics like your heart
rate and respiration activity. It also uses bone conduction to
communicate audio cues to you privately.
Item 4
Samsung’s shown off its Micro LED technology in the past,
using it to build The Wall, a 146-inch TV. The company’s now
showing off a smaller Micro LED TV. Using Samsung’s Micro
LED panels, you can create a variety of display sizes
supporting different aspect ratios, going from an ultra-wide
21:9 screen to a perfectly square 1:1 display without losing
image quality.
36. If one likes doing things by himself, which of the items suits him best?
A. Item 1. B. Item 2.
C. Item 3. D. Item 4.
,37. Which of the following technologies appeared for the first time in the show?
A. The TV R User’s controlling the TV by Google Assistant
B. Nvidia’s laptops’ solving the problem of power
C. The Dreem band’s detect your heart rate
D. Samsung’s Micro LED technology making a 146-inch TV possible
B
The key to getting people to work together effectively could be giving them the freedom to choose their
collaborators (合作者) and the comfort of working with established contacts, new research suggests.
In the study, David Melamed, an assistant professor of sociology at the Ohio State University and lead author of
the study, and his co-authors found participants through the Amazon Mechanical Turk website — a service that
allows researchers to hire people from around the world for a variety of purposes. For this study, all participants were
from the United States.
Those who agreed to participate played online games in which each player started out with 1,000 monetary units
that translated to $1 in real money they could pocket. If one player agreed to pay another player 50 monetary units,
that second person would actually acquire 100 units. Each of the 16-round games included about 25 participants,
some of whom participated in multiple games. In all, 810 people participated in the research.
Some of the games included random networks, where certain people could interact. Others included clustered
(群集的) networks, in which a small group had multiple connections — an arrangement that was designed to mimic
(模拟) real life, where humans often run their lives in packs. And the networks were either static (静态的) or
dynamic (动态的). In static networks, a player could interact only with the appointed partners. In dynamic networks,
participants could cut their ties with another player and form new connections. Furthermore, some of the games
included reputation information. Participants were labeled based on their history of willingness to share money. The
idea was to test whether those known to collaborate were favored by other players based on reputation — a factor
shown in previous research to play a significant role in whether a person is likely to partner with another.
Melamed and his research partners were surprised to find that whether people are likely to partner with others
had nothing to do with reputation in this study. The findings might have departed from previous studies because of
the difference in size and study design, he said, explaining that much of the previous work in this area was conducted
in groups of 100 or fewer and mostly involved student subjects. The Turk network used for the new study has been
shown to be representative of the U.S. population in terms of age, race and other factors and the introduced players
had no previous connections.
Cooperation rates overall were high — and highest when the participants were cooperating in clusters and had the ability to drop a partner in favor of another. “What really seems to matter is the ability to change the structure of a
network,” Melamed said. “And the patterns of relationships also made a difference. Those in a known cluster with
multiple connections cooperated more.”
38. What did David Melamed and his partners do for their study?
A. They hired 810 people globally.
B. They gave each participant $1,000.
C. They designed 16-round online games.
D. They asked each participant to take part in only one game.
39. Compared with previous research, the new study found that _____.
A. reputation played no role in cooperation
B. student subjects were more likely to partner with others
C. players having connections before were more cooperative
D. cooperation rates were influenced by age, race and other factors
40. It can be inferred that the purpose of the study led by David Melamed is to discover _____.
A. how to change the patterns of relationships
B. what leads people to collaborate most willingly
C. what kind of person is the most popular in a team
D. whether it’s proper to drop a partner in favor of another
C
I’m 47 years old. Two days ago, you sent me an email, which I did not answer. I didn’t answer it, in part, because
I am 47 years old.
I almost answered your email after bedtime, which is when I have often answered emails. My laptop was put on
my bedside table. My husband sat on his side of the bed, and he leaned back and asked me if I’d given any thought to
whether the chickens would need to be kept away from the apple trees after he sprayed them with something to keep
the bugs away.
We moved on to the children’s math grades, then to the way they just take their socks off and leave them, inside
out, no matter where they are. I looked at the clock and saw that it was not as early as I’d thought, not for a lot of
things, and so we turned off the light, and I did not answer your email.
Your email sat among emails from bosses and editors and orthodontists all through the next workday. My
children were at school, and I had not yet managed to write 300 words nine more times. I thought about answering
your email in the afternoon, while my older daughter and I waited outside the school for her sister to finish a piano lesson. My daughter probably would not have minded. She is almost 13, and sometimes, when she sits in the house
texting while I try to talk to her, I sprayed her with the bottle I keep on the counter to spray the cats when they start
scratching the back of the sofa. I could have answered your email then. I admit it. We could have sat there, in peaceful
silence, each staring at our phone. I had time to answer your email, and I did not.
I snuggled(依偎) my youngest son at bedtime that night, because he asked. I snuggled him even though your
email was calling, and some part of me wanted to pull away from the tedium of bedtime and reply. Replying would
have felt fresh and new, while bedtime felt old and stale. I would like to say I snuggled my son and did not give your
email one single thought, but that would not be true, and it would also be rude, even though it is a state of mind to
which many of us aspire. Instead, I hovered(悬停) somewhere between presence in the bedtime moment and
awareness of your email and many others. I spend a lot of time in that gap, sometimes drafting mental responses to
emails, which I am later surprised and sad to find I have not actually sent.
It is possible that I will answer your email later, in a few hours, or in a few years, maybe when I am 57, and I will
be so happy to have your email. We will trade words, and those words will again seem so real to me, a whole world in
my laptop, where I live, sometimes, because there is so much that is attractive in there, where time moves fast and yet
never moves at all. I will take my laptop outside and I will sit among the trees, listening for the voices of children who
are no longer home, and I will answer your email.
It is also possible that I will not — that I, in fact, will never answer your email. If that is the case, if the people
and the places and the things around me still press upon me with more urgency than your email and so many others, I
hope that you will forgive me. I have already forgiven myself.
41. Why does the author mention chickens and the children’s math grades?
A. Because daily routines took up most of her time.
B. Because she was troubled by many unimportant things.
C. Because she was more concerned about her family.
D. Because she often put off answering email till bedtime.
42. What can be learnt from the author’s description of her daughter?
A. The author used to answer emails while waiting for her daughter.
B. The author would rather play with her daughter than answer emails.
C. The author and daughters liked to use their phone alone.
D. The author regretted the time spent on the phone.
43. What tone does the author use in answering emails after snuggling her son?
A. humor B. embarrassmentC. apology D. happiness
44. What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. Learn to forgive yourself for not answering emails in time.
B. The world outside is so attractive that we should enjoy it now.
C. I will surely answer emails without children around.
D. Answering emails is a thing of little urgency.
D
Predictions about higher education’s future often result in two very different visions about what is next for
colleges and universities. In one camp: those who paint a rosy picture of an economy that will continue to demand
higher levels of education for an increasing share of the workforce. In the other: those who believe fewer people will
enroll(入学)in college as tuition costs go out of control and alternatives to the traditional degree emerge.
“We are living in an age for learning, when there’s so much knowledge available, that one would think that this
is good news for higher education,” Bryan Alexander told me recently. Alexander writes often about the future of
higher education and is finishing a book on the subject for Johns Hopkins University Press. “Yet we’ve seen
enrollment in higher education drop for six years.”
Alexander believes that for some colleges and universities to survive, they need to shift from their historical
mission of serving one type of student (usually a teenager fresh out of high school) for a specific period of time.
“We’re going to see many different ways through higher education in the future,” Alexander said, “from closer ties
between secondary and postsecondary(中学后)schools to new options for adults. The question is, which
institutions adopt new models and which try desperately to hang on to what they have.”
“The fact is that to maintain affordability, accessibility and excellence, something needs to change,” Rafael Bras,
Georgia Tech’s provost (院长), told me when he unveiled the report at the Milken Institute Global Conference this
past spring.
The commission’s report includes many impressive ideas, but three point to the possibility of a very different
future for colleges and universities.
1) College for life, rather than just four years. The primary recommendation of the Georgia Tech report is that
the university turns itself into a place for lifelong learning that allows students to “associate rather than enroll.”
“Students who we educate now are expected to have a dozen occupations,” Bras said. “So a system that receives
students once in their lives and turns them out with the Good Housekeeping seal(印章) of approval to become alums
(校友) and come back on occasion and give money is not the right model for the future.”
2) A network of advisers and coaches for a career. If education never ends, Georgia Tech predicts, neither should the critical advising function that colleges provide to students. The commission outlines a plan in which
artificial intelligence and virtual tutors help advise students about selecting courses and finding the best career
options. But even for a university focused on science and technology, Georgia Tech doesn’t suggest in its report that
computers will replace humans for all advising.
3) A distributed presence around the world. Colleges and universities operate campuses and require students to
come to them. In the past couple of decades, online education has grown greatly, but for the most part, higher
education is still about face-to-face interactions.
Georgia Tech imagines a future in which the two worlds are blended in what it calls the “atrium” — a place that
share space with entrepreneurs and become gathering places for students and alumni.
In some ways, as the report noted, the atrium idea is a nod to the past, when universities had agricultural and
engineering experiment stations with services closer to where people in the state needed them.
Whether Georgia Tech’s ideas will become real is, of course, unclear. But as Alexander told me after reading it,
“There is a strong emphasis on flexibility and transformation so they can meet emergent trends.” This is clear:
colleges and universities are about to undergo a period of deep change — whether they want to or not — as the needs
of students and the economy shift.
45. What can we learn from the two camps’ opinions about future colleges?
A. Future workforce will have high levels of education.
B. The expensive traditional degree is losing its appeal.
C. Traditional higher education is not practical.
D. Declining enrollment in college results from easy learning.
46. What should traditional colleges do according to Alexander?
A. They should provide new options for adults to enter colleges.
B. The should strengthen the ties between secondary and postsecondary schools.
C. They should abandon what they have and change their historical mission.
D. They should offer more freedom to students throughout their life.
47. What can we infer from the commission’s report?
A. Students can return for further study or make donations freely after graduation.
B. Artificial intelligence and virtual tutors will perform better in career guidance.
C. It focuses on how to make people enjoy good education without stress.
D There is no point in requiring students to be present at school..48. The underlined words “two worlds” refer to _______.
A. Basic education and higher education
B. entrepreneurs and students
C. present education and future education
D. virtual education and real classes
49. What does the author think of atrium idea?
A. It corresponds to the past idea in some way.
B. It is hard to realize despite its flexibility.
C. It makes some industries more accessible.
D. It is a practical solution to the declining enrollment.
50. The passage mainly talks about _________.
A. a reflection on the drawbacks of current higher education
B. the key factors which determine higher education’s future
C. two camps’ opposite opinions about higher education's future
D. a comparison between traditional and future higher education

Why We Struggle to Say ‘I Love You’
For many Asian-Americans, the phrase belongs to the wonderful world of white people we see in the movies and
on television.
So many of our Asian parents have struggled, and suffered in ways that are completely beyond the imaginations
of their children born or raised in North American comfort. This struggle and sacrifice was how Asian parents say “I
love you” without having to say it. And so many of us children are not expected to say it either, but instead are
expected to express love through gratitude, which means obeying our parents and following their wishes for how we
should live our lives.
Our parents, for the most part, told us to get a good education, get a good job and not speak up, things they had to
do to survive. They have encouraged, or forced, many of us to become doctors, lawyers and engineers, and to feel
ashamed if we do not. What these parents did not do was tell us we could become artists, actors or storytellers, people
engaged in seemingly trivial, unsafe and unstable professions.I have met so few who have proudly told me that their children are English majors or have become writers or
artists. But I became a writer despite, and perhaps because of, their resistance to the idea, my inarticulate(难以言喻的)
desires pushing against their inarticulate sacrifice, all of it taking place before a backdrop of refugee(难民)life and
racial reality.
I grew up in the relatively diverse city of San Jose, Calif., in the 1980s. My neighbors were older white
working-class people, Mexican immigrants and Vietnamese refugees. Then I went to a mostly white high school,
with only a handful of students of Asian descent. We knew we were different, but we found our difference a little
difficult to put into words. We called ourselves “the Asian invasion.”
The irony was that we had not invaded America. America had invaded us, or at the very least had occupied or
fought in our countries of origin or heritage. We were here because America was there.
Looking back, what I only belatedly realized was that I needed — we all needed — more stories featuring us.
More voices belonging to us. More advocates telling our stories in our way with our faces, our inflections, our
concerns, our intuitions. We just needed to be at the center of a story, which would include all the aspects of human
subjectivity, not just the good but the bad, the three-dimensional fullness that white people took for granted with the
privilege of being individuals.
When it came to mass media’s representations of us — film and television, morning radio disc jockey jokes—
we got only the bad. We were the servants, the enemies, the houseboys, the invaders.
As a result, so many of us who watched these distorted(扭曲的) images and heard the stupid jokes learned to be
ashamed of ourselves. We learned to be ashamed of our parents. And the shame compounded the inability to say “I
love you,” a phrase that belonged to the wonderful world of white people we saw in the movies and television.
We had to learn better but the truth is that Asian parents have to learn better, too. You cannot be proud of your
artist and storyteller children only when they win Golden Globes. We honor your sacrifice for us, but you have to
encourage your children to speak up as well, to claim their voices, to risk failure, to tell their stories and your stories.
At the very least, you cannot stand in their way.
We are still the Asian invasion in the eyes of many. We cannot accept this as our price of entry into American
society. If we must assert ourselves and speak out against racism when it is directed against us, we must also do so
when it benefits us. And we do that by challenging and changing the American story. We do it by taking the stage and
by telling our own stories, which is really, in the end, our way of saying “I love you” to our parents, our families, our
communities and our country.
Outline Detailed information
,Facts about
