The days of staring at the computer screen pretending to be interested in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because if Dr Harry Witchel, Discipline Leader in Physiology at England's Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it real-time.
But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading your mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary（无意识的）movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote, but barely noticeable movements like scratching, fidgeting, or stretching. Witchel says the level of movement is directly linked to how absorbed the person is in what he or she is reading or watching. The higher the interest level. the less the movement!
To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the banking regulations that most people would find boring.
A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment. Just as the researchers had expected, the involuntary actions decreased dramatically, by as much as 42%, when the participants were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing.
Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that combining the motion detecting technology with future computers will help enhance the digital learning experience.
The scientists say that being able to measure the students' interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials real-time and re-engage the students. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions.
8. According to Dr Harry, what will future computers be able to do
A. Keep a learner from distraction.
B. Help a learner with his assignments.
C. Read a learner's mind exactly real-time.
D. Identify dullness of a learner and respond to it.
9. How does an absorbed learner tend to behave
A. Laugh and shout excitedly. B. Use less energy in an assignment.
C. Perform fewer involuntary actions. D. Show noticeable movements constantly.
10. What is the value of this technology for educators
A. Bettering their digital learning experience. B. Introducing more computers into class.
C. Finding the absent-minded students in class. D. Detecting what interests the students most.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce an upcoming technology.
B. To update educators' teaching concept.
C. To show what learning will be like in the future.
D. To explain how life will be shaped by technology.

A recent study has followed the origins, or beginnings of the family of languages that include modern Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Mongolian. The findings show a shared genetic ancestor for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian(跨欧亚的) languages. Such languages had their origin with millet farmers who lived in an area in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago. Millet is a small, round whole grain. It was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers became farmers.
The study’s findings show how the use of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world’s major language families The research highlights the complex beginnings of modern populations and cultures.
Martine Robbeets, head of the Archaeolinguistic Research Group, said people often think of Japan, Korea and China as powerful nations representing one language, one culture and one people. “All languages, cultures and humans, including those in Asia, are mixed.” Robbeets said. “Accepting that the roots of one’s language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is to surrender identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make.”
The researchers studied data of vocabulary from the 98 languages. They identified a group of words related to agriculture and created a language family tree. The researchers examined data from 255 archaeological sites in China, Japan, Korea and eastern Russia. They studied ancient objects including pottery, stone tools and plant and animal remains. They also included the dating of 269 ancient crop remains from different areas.
The researchers found that farmers in northeastern China eventually grew rice and wheat along with millet. The crops spread along with farming populations to Korea by about 1300 BC and from there to Japan after about 1000 BC. As the ancient farmers moved across northeastern Asia, related languages spread into Siberia, Korea and Japan over thousands of years.
12. According to the study, what do Transeurasian languages originate from
A. Ice Age people. B. Ancient Japanese.
C. Ancient millet farmers. D. Early hunter-gatherers.
13 What does the underlined word “surrender” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. give up B. maintain C. take in D. destroy
14. How do the researchers conduct their study
A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing some statistics.
C. By setting down general rules. D. By doing an experiment.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Food has a close relationship with culture diversity.
B. A large language family has ancient origins in China.
C. Human activities lead to different language movements.
D. The research on the language family’s beginnings counts.

Joel Boyers was heading home from the Nashville airport after he earned his helicopter's pilot license when he received an urgent call from a stranger in Pennsylvania. The caller told Boyers that her brother and his two daughters were trapped on their roof in Waverly 60 miles from Nashville. They were surrounded by rising flood waters caused by last August's record-breaking rains and didn't think they would survive.
Desperate, the caller had Googled “Nashville helicopter”, and Boyers’ company. Helistar Aviation, was the first to pop up. She begged Boyers to rescue her loved ones.
Boyers, 41, looked west toward Waverly and saw the storm clouds. “Ma’am,”he said. “No one will fly in this weather, and for good reason.”
But before he finished the sentence, somehow, he decided he would come to rescue. He told the woman he would see what he could do and put the brother's address into his phone, then he drove back to the airport. Soon, he was in the air, unprepared for what he was about to see in Waverly. As soon as he flew over, it was nothing but raging water below him. There were cars in trees. Tons of debris（残骸）. Any way debris could get caught, it was. No one was going to be able to swim in that. Instead, people were holding tightly to anything that didn’t move—roofs, trees, poles.
The flooding also cut off cell phone service, meaning Boyers couldn't use his phone to locate the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway. He also began searching for people standing on rooftops, bridges—anywhere Boyers could land.

A recent study has followed the origins, or beginnings of the family of languages that include modern Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Mongolian. The findings show a shared genetic ancestor for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian(跨欧亚的) languages. Such languages had their origin with millet farmers who lived in an area in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago. Millet is a small, round whole grain. It was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers became farmers.
The study’s findings show how the use of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world’s major language families. The research highlights the complex beginnings of modern populations and cultures.
Martine Robbeets, head of the Archaeolinguistic Research Group, said people often think of Japan, Korea and China as powerful nations representing one language, one culture and one people. “All languages, cultures and humans, including those in Asia, are mixed.” Robbeets said. “Accepting that the roots of one’s language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is to surrender identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make.”
The researchers studied data of vocabulary from the 98 languages. They identified a group of words related to agriculture and created a language family tree. The researchers examined data from 255 archaeological sites in China, Japan, Korea and eastern Russia. They studied ancient objects including pottery, stone tools and plant and animal remains. They also included the dating of 269 ancient crop remains from different areas.
The researchers found that farmers in northeastern China eventually grew rice and wheat along with millet. The crops spread along with farming populations to Korea by about 1300 BC and from there to Japan after about 1000 BC. As the ancient farmers moved across northeastern Asia, related languages spread into Siberia, Korea and Japan over thousands of years.
12. According to the study what do Transeurasian languages originate from
A. Ice Age people. B. Ancient Japanese.
C. Ancient millet farmers. D. Early hunter-gatherers.
13. What does the underlined word “surrender” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. give up B. maintain C. take in D. destroy
14. How do the researchers conduct their study
A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing some statistics.
C. By setting down general rules. D. By doing an experiment.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Food has a close relationship with culture diversity.
B. A large language family has ancient origins in China.
C. Human activities lead to different language movements.
D. The research on the language family’s beginnings counts.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个最新的研究表明，一个庞大的语系——跨欧亚语系起源于中国。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Such languages had their origin with millet farmers who lived in an area in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago.”(这些语言起源于9000年前中国东北地区种植小米的农民。)可知，研究表明，跨欧亚的语言起源于古代种植小米的农民，故选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据划线单词前面的内容“Accepting that the roots of one’s language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries”(接受一个人的语言、文化或民族的根源在当前的国界之外)以及下文“which some people are not yet prepared to make.”(有些人还没有做好准备这么做)可知，有些人不愿意承认自己的语言、文化或民族的根源在当前的国界之外，所以可以推断出，如果承认此观点，就意味着要放弃身份认同，由此可知，划线单词“surrender”表示“放弃”，与选项A“give up”(放弃)符合，B. maintain维护；C. take in吸收；D. destroy破坏，均不符，故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The researchers studied data of vocabulary from the 98 languages.”(研究人员研究了98种语言的词汇数据)可知，研究人员通过研究一些数据来进行实验的，故选B。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“The researchers found that farmers in northeastern China eventually grew rice and wheat along with millet. The crops spread along with farming populations to Korea by about 1300 BC and from there to Japan after about 1000 BC. As the ancient farmers moved across northeastern Asia, related languages spread into Siberia, Korea and Japan over thousands of years.”(研究人员发现，中国东北的农民最终在种植谷子的同时种植水稻和小麦。大约在公元前1300年，作物随着种植农业的人们传播到韩国，公元前1000年左右，从韩国传播到日本。随着古代农民穿越东北亚，相关语言在数千年间传播到西伯利亚，朝鲜和日本。)可知，文章主要讲述了一个最新的研究表明，一个庞大的语系——跨欧亚语系起源于中国，所以B选项“A large language family has ancient origins in China.”(一个庞大的语系起源于中国。)是文章的主旨大意，故选B。

How Successful People Spend the Last Hour of Their Workday
As the hours of peak productivity start to decline, most of us begin watching the clock, eager to get away from our desks. But ending the workday with purpose can boost success both inside and outside of the office, which helps us to work tomorrow. ____16____
Many of us spend our last hour of work making a to-do list for tomorrow. ____17____ “The last hour of a day should be spent on reflection—the failures and successes,”says Levin, founding editor of Real Leaders. He recommends writing down the day’s wins rather than failures or to-dos, and reviewing your list of successes once a month.
The chances are that a long day of meetings and decision-making leaves you feeling completely fried by four or five o’clock. However, we still hope our last hour of work is effective and efficient. ____18____ These tasks won’t demand much brainpower, but research shows they could make a big difference to your overall productivity.
Successful people never bring the day’s failures home. Instead, they end their day by making analysis of the problems they encountered, brainstorming possible solutions. ____19____ Waking up with a purposeful goal in mind can make them feel more active to the first item that happens to them. Eventually, they will deal with those problems with renewed energy after a good night's sleep
____20____ If your day often winds down by four or five o’clock, Levin recommends taking advantage of the quiet time by checking in with yourself, it can include planning your next tasks or learning the latest content in your field.
A. And then leave them for tomorrow.
B. Thus, put them into practice as soon as possible.
C. Successful people review the day they just had, instead.
D. You have to increase your productivity to meet your deadline.
E. It's better to knock out small projects like tidying up your desk
F. We can learn how successful people spend the last hour of their workday.
G. Like regular check-ins with your boss, schedule a daily meeting with yourself.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了成功人士一天中最后的时间安排。
【16题详解】
根据上文“ending the workday with purpose can boost success both inside and outside of the office, which helps us to work tomorrow.（有目的地结束工作日可以促进办公室内外的成功，这有助于我们明天的工作。）”可知，文章要谈论的是一天中最后的时间如何度过，设空位置位于首段的段尾通常具有承上启下的作用，由此可知，F项“我们可以了解成功人士如何度过工作日的最后一个小时。”符合题意，故选择F项。
【17题详解】
根据下文““The last hour of a day should be spent on reflection—the failures and successes,”says Levin, founding editor of Real Leaders.（一天的最后一个小时应该花在反思失败和成功上，”RealLeaders创始编r辑Levin说。）”可知，这里说的是成功人士会反思自己度过的一天，C项“相反，成功人士会回顾他们刚刚拥有的一天。”符合题意，故选择C项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“These tasks won't demand much brainpower, but research shows they could make a big difference to your overall productivity.（这些任务不需要太多的脑力，但研究表明，它们可以大大提高你的整体生产力。）”可知，上文说的是可以做一些小事情，E项“最好完成一些小项目，比如整理桌子”符合题意，故选择E项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Successful people never bring the day's failures home. Instead, they end their day by making analysis of the problems they encountered, brainstorming possible solutions.（成功的人从不把一天的失败带回家。相反，他们通过分析所遇到的问题，集思广益，寻找可能的解决方案来结束一天的工作。）”可知，这里说的是分析问题，寻找解决方案，然后留到明天去做，A项“然后把它们留到明天。”符合题意，选项中的them指的就是上文中的solutions，故选择A项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“If your day often winds down by four or five o’clock, Levin recommends taking advantage of the quiet time by checking in with yourself, it can include planning your next tasks or learning the latest content in your field.（如果你的一天通常在四点或五点结束，Levin建议利用安静的时间与自己联系，这可以包括计划你的下一个任务或学习你所在领域的最新内容。）”可知，这一段主要说的是结束一天的任务后留一段时间给自己，G项“像定期与上司会面一样，安排每天与自己会面。”符合题意，故选择G项。

Joel Boyers was heading home from the Nashville airport after he earned his helicopter's pilot license when he received an urgent call from a stranger in Pennsylvania. The caller told Boyers that her brother and his two daughters were trapped on their roof in Waverly, 60 miles from Nashville. They were surrounded by rising flood waters caused by last August's record-breaking rains and didn't think they would survive.
Desperate, the caller had Googled “Nashville helicopter”, and Boyers’ company. Helistar Aviation, was the first to pop up. She begged Boyers to rescue her loved ones.
Boyers, 41, looked west toward Waverly and saw the storm clouds. “Ma’am,”he said. “No one will fly in this weather, and for good reason.”
But before he finished the sentence, somehow, he decided he would come to rescue. He told the woman he would see what he could do and put the brother's address into his phone, then he drove back to the airport. Soon, he was in the air, unprepared for what he was about to see in Waverly. As soon as he flew over, it was nothing but raging water below him. There were cars in trees. Tons of debris（残骸）. Any way debris could get caught, it was. No one was going to be able to swim in that. Instead, people were holding tightly to anything that didn’t move—roofs, trees, poles.
The flooding also cut off cell phone service, meaning Boyers couldn't use his phone to locate the house he was looking for. He flew on anyway. He also began searching for people standing on rooftops, bridges—anywhere Boyers could land.
主意
1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly Bovers noticed a girl holding a tree tightly.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Suddenly Boyers noticed a girl holding a tree tightly. The girl who was scared soaking wet and exhausted, was barely out of the water. One hand clutched a tree limb. Since there was no place for Boyers to land, he lowered the copter until it hovered just above the water line, where he helped the girl to the helicopter.Boyers carefully lifted off. Maneuvering around the tree and power lines, he dropped off the girl on a patch of land across the street. Then he back in the air.
With the people beside, Boyers felt he was rowing a lifeboat in the air. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and the helicopter shifted. Boyers tried his best to regain control of the copter. When professional rescue choppers showed up,the copter of Boyers was almost out of fuel after rescuing 17 people. As for the woman who originally contacted Boyers, she called back to say that her brother and his daughters had also been saved and showed her appreciation.
