11、ist Alberto Manguel describes a remarkable transformation of human consciousness, which took place around the 10th century AD: the arrival of silent reading. Human beings have been reading for thousands of years, but in ancient times, the normal thing was to read aloud. With the arrival of silent re

12、ading, Manguel writes, the reader was at last able to establish an unrestricted relationship with the book and the words. The words no longer needed to occupy the time required to pronounce them. The readers thoughts inspected them at leisure, drawing new ideas from them, allowing comparisons from m

13、emory or from other books.To read silently is to free your mind to reflect, to remember, to question and compare. The cognitive scientist Maryanne Wolf calls this freedom “the secret gift of time to think”. A thousand years later, critics fear that digital technology has put this gift in danger. The

14、 Internets flood of information, together with the distractions of social media, threatens to overwhelm the space of reading, leaving us in what the journalist Nicholas Carr has called “the shallows”. In Carrs view, the “endless, tempting buzz” of the Internet endangers our very being: “One of the g

15、reatest dangers we face,” he writes, “as we give up control over the flow of our thoughts and memories to a powerful electronic system, is a slow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”Theres no question that digital technology presents challenges to the reading brain. But seen from a historical

16、perspective, digital reading and silent reading look like differences of degree, rather than of kind. To the extent that digital reading represents something new, its potential cuts both ways. Done badly, the Internet reduces us to mindless clickers, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed;

17、 but done well, it has the potential to expand the very contemplative (沉思的) space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips.In the fifth century BC, Socrates worried that writing would weaken human memory, and stifle(扼殺) judgment. In fact, as Wolf notes i

18、n her 2007 book Proust and the Squid: the Story and Science of the Reading Brain, the opposite happened: Faced with the written page, the readers brain develops new capacities.The Internet may cause our minds to wander off, and yet a quick look at the history of books suggests that we have been wand

19、ering off all along. When we read, the eye does not progress steadily along the line of text; it alternates between saccades little jumpsand brief stops, not unlike the movement of the mouses cursor across a screen of hypertext.Its true that studies have found that readers given text on a screen do

20、worse on recall and comprehension tests than readers given the same text on paper. But a 2015 study by the German educator Johannes Naumann suggests the opposite. He gave a group of high-school students the job of tracking down certain pieces of information on websites; he found that the students wh

21、o regularly did research online were better at this task than students who used the Internet mostly to send email, chat, and blog.A new generation of digital writers prefers to include interactive features. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, tells the story of a demolition(爆破) expert returning home from the

22、first Gulf War. The story is told in text, photographs, video clips, and audio. It uses an interface(界面) that allows you to follow the action and shift between levels of awareness. As you read text on the screen, describing characters and plot, you draw your fingers apart and see a photograph of the

23、 chief character, his eyes opening on the world. Pinch your finger shut and you visit his troubled unconscious; words and images race by, as if you are inside his memory. Pry is the opposite of a shallow work; its whole play is between the surface and the depths of the human mind. Reading it is stim

24、ulating.1、In Alberto Manguels opinion, silent reading _.Ais an abnormal thing to human consciousnessBoffers readers mind freedom and time to thinkCstrengthens readers power of memory and reflectionDallows readers to gain an insight into books and words2、Why is digital technology considered to have e

25、ndangered our being?AIt presents challenges to the reading brain.BIt harms our humanness and humanity gradually.CIt is very likely to expand our contemplative space.DIt leaves our thoughts and memories out of control.3、The sentence “The fear of technology is not new.” should be placed in _.ABCD4、Wha

26、t can we infer from Johannes Naumanns study?AIts easier to collect information on the Internet than in books.BPeoples habit of using the Internet influences their performance.CThe Internet isnt supposed to be used as a tool of entertainment.DPaper reading is better than screen reading in improving c

27、omprehension.5、The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, is mentioned in the last paragraph to _.Aintroduce the occurrence of a reading revolutionBshow the technology employed in digital readingCprove digital reading not shallow but attractiveDillustrate the impact digital reading has on our life.6、What is probably

28、 the best title for the passage?AThe deep space of digital readingBThe timely arrival of silent readingCThe development of traditional readingDThe potential damage of electronic books22（8分）Jeremy Baras remembers the first time he ever saw a pop-up restaurant. The 26-year-old entrepreneur was on vaca

29、tion in England four years ago and had to look up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it. Hanging above him was a capsule(航天艙) full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded PopUpR in 2012 to pr

30、omote the idea of pop-up restaurants in the USA, has been studying them ever since.Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 bil

31、lion U.S. restaurant industry, but pop-ups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower-risk way for entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations. And some struggling cities, like Oakland, California, have turned to

32、them to help revitalize local economies impacted by the recession(衰退).The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but theyre stuck in the back of

33、 somebody elses kitchen cooking somebody elses menu,” says Zach Kupperman, chief businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give a brief introduction about the menu and themselves and then bravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups temp

34、orary nature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make sure the diners will show up.Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly, and there is no guarantee that diners wont tire of the concept. Some entrepreneurs have resorted to even weirder locations in a former limestone

35、 mine, say, or at the top of a crane to keep customers interested. “Its not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.” says Baras.1、What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean?AChefs designed creative dishes.BDiners tasted food in a new and creative way.CThe

36、capsule containing diners made a circle.DGreat changes were made in the food industry.2、Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that _.Apop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwideBthey have the desire to explore a safer way to make a livingCtheir investment in pop-

37、ups will bring them a long-lasting fortuneDpop-ups provide a changeable test field for talented chefs creativity3、The writers purpose of writing the passenger is _.Ato appeal to people to dine out in pop-up restaurantsBto give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurantsCto warn business owners of the

38、 appearance of pop-up restaurantsDto foresee the future of pop-up restaurants development23（8分） Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (預(yù)測) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.Global warming is having a great effect on hu

39、ndreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns

40、 of growth.“Predicting species, reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,” said the researchers of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The st

41、udy, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.“Across all species, the experiments under

42、-predicted the speed of the advancefor both leafing and flowering that results from temperature increase,” the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are t

43、he base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.Scientists believe the worlds average temperature has risen by about 0.8 since 1900, and nearly 0.2 every ten years since

44、1979.So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2 this centurya point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failur

46、amaged because of weather.2、We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that .Aplants flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingBthere are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsCscientists should improve the design of the experimentsDthe experiments failed to predict how plants r

47、eact to climate change3、Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because .Athey can prove the climate change clearlyBthey are very important in the food chainsCthey play a leading role in reducing global warmingDthey are growing and flowering much faster than before4、What can be infer

This year one

49、 sixth of undergraduates in Beijing have registered at driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or imitational trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.Training costs have dropped to 4, 500 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving S

50、chool in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment (投資) in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a driver s permit has become another factor (因素

51、).“In the job market, owning a drivers permit sometimes strengthens a graduating students competitiveness for a good position,” says Li Hua, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and law.Cars will become a necessary part of many peoples lives in the coming years, and it is di

52、fficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working peoples time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of oppurtunity to learn,” says another undergraduate at the university.Wu Dong,

53、 an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers.From March 1, 2018, to get a drivers permi

54、t, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours practice before the final road test.1、Why do the undergraduates learn to drive?AThey are the students from special subject or course.BThey like to drive cars very much.CThey want y become full time drivers after graduation.DThey need this skill

55、 to find a good job in the future.2、What is Wu Dongs opinion of students learning to drive?AIt would make the life more interesting.BYouths would have an advantage in learning to drive.CIt is a waste of money and time to learn to drive.DIt would be better to learn it at college than at work.3、To get

56、 the permit, the student _.Arequires some time to practice before the final road testBmust pay more money before the final road testCmust practice more to learn to drive when having a jobDrequires to learn some more other subjects to drive25（10分） Have you ever spent an afternoon in the backyard, may

57、be grilling or enjoying a basketball game, when suddenly you notice that everything goes quiet? There is an old phrase “calm before the storm”， often used in a situationa quiet period just before a great activity or excitement. According to our own experience, we know there is actually calm before t

58、he storm. But what causes this calm? And is it always calm before the storm? Lets hear what scientists have to say.A period of calm happens in a particular kind of storm, the simplest kind of storma singlecell thunderstorm. In this type of thunderstorm, there is usually only one main updraft, which

59、is warm, damp air and drawn from places near the ground. Storms need warm and damp air as fuel, so they typically draw that air in from surrounding environment. Storms can draw in the air that fit their need from all directionseven from the direction in which the storm is traveling.As the warm, damp

60、 air is pulled into a storm system, it leaves a lowpressure vacuum(真空) coming after. The rising air meets the cold dry air that has already existed in the storm clouds, thus the temperature of the warm, damp air drops, and the water vapour(水蒸汽) in it changes into tiny drops that are a precondition o
