10、n a Catholic family. She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mothers poor health.School was difficult for Susan and she was bullied because of her different behaviors. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister

11、. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical idols on the wall and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.One by one the siblings moved away

12、from home and then Susans father died. This left her alone with an aging mother and a cat. The siblings accused her mother of not expecting more out of Susan. She had seen many professionals and remembered hearing the word “borderline” but didnt know what it meant. She tried volunteer work. Her best

13、 state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation from the crowd.When Susan announced at Christmas that she was planning to compete in the Britains Got Talent contest, her sibling

14、s tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.“The Woman I Was Born to Be” is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her stor

15、y from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner. The writing is supplemented by photos from her albums.I love this book! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day!There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also inspires us to reach for our dreams no

BShy and passive.CDetermined and inspiring. DGreat and generous.22（8分）I READ mostly fiction before I was introduced to CaMa

18、lcolm Gladwells work.In his TED talk called Choice, Happiness, and Spaghetti Sauce (意大利面醬), he used the examples of Pepsi and spaghetti sauce to argue that giving people choices makes them happy. If I had only heard his conclusion statement and missed the evidence that he employed, I would have been

19、 wondering how he could argue such an interesting point. But he structured his argument like a detective story, with each puzzle piece contributing to the conclusion.Fascinated, I borrowed his book Outliers: The Story of Success from the library. Each chapter had its own story and argument, and all

20、of the arguments were about factors that contributed to an individuals success in the world.The depth of his research was amazing. In the first chapter, he analyzed the reasons behind the crash of Korean Air Flight 801 in 1997, which killed more than 220 people. The disaster took place partly becaus

21、e the co-pilot didnt point out the mistakes that the pilot was making. In South Korea, its disrespectful to disagree with higher ups even if they are doing something wrong.Perhaps most interesting of all, Gladwell explained why Asians are so good at math. He said Asians get an advantage when they le

22、arn how to count because their language has fewer syllables (音節(jié)) and makes numbers easier to remember.But Gladwell is mostly interested in answering my favorite question, Why?” And thats exactly why I love his works. After reading Outliers: The Story of Success and other books like it, I found mysel

23、f questioning my commonly-accepted beliefs much more often. After all, why should we take anything for granted?1、Why does the author write this article?ATo promote some of Gladwells books.BTo introduce Gladwell and his books.CTo show how Gladwell did research for his books.DTo explain why he enjoys

24、Gladwells books.2、How did the author feel about Gladwells TED talk?ASurprising but persuasive. BRefreshing but puzzling.CInteresting but doubtful. DFunny but conclusive.3、What can we know from the passage?AEating spaghetti sauce can make you happy.BCarelessness caused the Korean air crash in 1997.CF

25、ewer syllables give Asians an advantage in learning math.DThe Story of Success is about Gladwells personal success.4、What really makes the author fall in love with Gladwells works?AHis strong arguments.BHis amazing research.CHis detective-like stories.DHis questioning spirit.23（8分）Best Southern wint

An

33、d large farms are increasingly using precision farming to increase yields (產(chǎn)量), reduce waste, and reduce the economic and security risks that inevitably accompany agricultural uncertainty.Traditional farming relies on managing entire fieldsmaking decisions related to planting, harvesting, irrigating

34、, and applying pesticides and fertilizer (農(nóng)藥和化肥)based on regional conditions and historical data. Precision farming, by contrast, combines sensors, robots, GPS, mapping tools and data-analytics software to customize（量身定制）the care that plants receive without increasing labor. Robot-mounted sensors an

35、d camera-equipped drones (無人機(jī)) wirelessly send images and data on individual plants to a computer, which looks for signs of health and stress. Farmers receive the feedback in real time and then deliver water, pesticide or fertilizer in adjusted doses（劑量）to only the areas that need it. The technology

36、 can also help farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops.As a result, precision farming can improve time management, reduce water and chemical use, and produce healthier crops and higher yieldsall of which benefit farmers bottom lines and conserve resources while reducing chemical runoff.Many s

37、mall businesses are developing new software, sensors, and other tools for precision farming, as are large companies such as Monsanto, John Deere, Bayer, Dow and DuPont. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all support precision farming, and

38、 many colleges now offer course work on the topic.In a related development, seed producers are applying technology to improve plant characteristics. By following individual plants over time and analyzing which ones flourish in different conditions, companies can relate the plants response to their e

39、nvironments with their genomics (基因組學(xué)). That information, in turn, allows the companies to produce seed varieties that will grow well in specific soil and weather conditions. This advanced technology may also help to improve crop nutrition.Farmers do not universally welcome precision agriculture for

40、 various reasons, such as high equipment costs and lack of access to the Internet. The technology may bring great challenges to experienced farmers who are not good at computers. And large systems will also be beyond the reach of many small farming operations in developing nations. But less expensiv

41、e, simpler systems could potentially be applied. For others, though, cost savings in the long run may reduce the financial concerns. And however reticent some farmers may be to adopt new technology, the next generation of farmers are likely to warm to the approach.1、Precision farming differs from tr

42、aditional farming partly because it _.Aguarantees high yields with more laborBrelies on regional conditions and historical dataCoffers plenty of water, pesticides and fertilizerDprovides real time information about target crops2、About precision farming, we can learn that_.Athe government holds a cau

43、tious attitudeBit draws positive responses from businessesCseed producers have already made huge profitsDlarge systems will soon be built in developing nations3、The underlined word “reticent” in the last paragraph probably means _.Adisappointed BconfusedCunwilling Dshocked4、What is the best title fo

45、lection to make you look-and hence feel-happier encouraging you to like what you see.Thats the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The system can manipulate, or in other words, control your emotions and personal prefe

46、rences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling or frowning face.The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around- is a well-established idea.The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to

47、 build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with-software, turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the

48、 eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown.Without telling them the aim of the study, the team recruited(招募)21 volunteers and asked them to sit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the task was completed, the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on scr

49、een appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happier. On the other hand, when the image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given

50、 a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webcam image. The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely.“The system could be used to manipulate consumers impressio

51、ns of products,” say the researchers. For example, mirrors in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.“Its certainly an in

52、teresting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birmingham, UK. But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks b

53、elievable would be much more challenging,” he says.Of course, there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy, what harm is it doing?” says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated uncomfo

54、rtable and cheated if they found out.”1、Whats the main purpose of the Emotion Evoking System?ATo see whether one s facial expressions can be altered.BTo replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.CTo see whether laughter comes before happiness.DTo see whether ones feeling can be unco

55、nsciously affected.2、What can we learn about the web-camera image in the study?AIt recorded the volunteers performance in the task.BIt attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.CIt gave the volunteers a false image.DIt beautified the volunteers appearance in the mirror.3、What does Creed mention

56、as a limitation of the technologyAIt only deals with a limited number of facial expressions.BIt only works in clothing stores.CIt only makes subtle changes to peoples expressions.DIt only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes.4、What does Creeds comment on the moral issues with this technol

57、ogy imply?APeople should make their decisions independently.BTechnology is unable to manipulate people.CNothing is more important than happiness.DPeople should neglect the harm of the technology.第三部分 語言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)26（30分）“Are you going shoppi
