(2015·湖北卷·C)
Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands,Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam,it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile(纺织) and media industries,and modern architecture.
In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas(别墅)in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers,currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.
The change to a media economy started in 1920,when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands,and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.
In the early 1900s,modern architects W.M.Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural masterpieces(杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristies.His masterpiece.Hilversum Town Hall,was built in 1928-1931.It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”.Actually,one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor(监控器) a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.
Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer's Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked—remotely—to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was:Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?
In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting_edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid—that students haven't just searched the Internet to get the right answers.
Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses”. Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.
Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students' identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.
Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.
文章大意:本文为说明文,题材属于科普知识类。本文通过Jennifer在家考试受监控的具体描述,介绍了几种防止远程教育的学生作弊的高科技方法。只有采取可信赖的反作弊措施,才能防止接受网上教育的学生利用互联网搜索答案作弊,才能证明他们的考试和文凭的有效性。
25.Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?
A.To correct her typing mistakes.
B.To find her secrets in the room.
C.To prevent her from slowing down.
D.To keep her from dishonest behaviors.
答案:D 推理判断题。由第二段内容和第三段第一句“In the battle against cheating,this is the “cutting edge” and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education.”可知,Jennifer在家中考试受监控器的监控是为了防止(她)作弊,应选D。
26.The underlined expression “cutting edge” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.
A.advanced technique
B.sharpening tool
C.effective rule
D.dividing line
答案:A 词义猜测题。从第二段的具体描述来看,这是防止作弊的先进技术,另外,由后一句“The technology gives trust to the entire system,to the institution and to online education in general”可知,上一句画线的“cutting edge”和后一句的“The technology”指代的是同一内容,故应选A。
27.Some programs can find out possible cheaters by________.
A.checking the question answering speed
B.producing a large number of questions
C.scanning the Internet test questions
D.giving difficult test questions
答案:A 细节理解题。由最后一段第一句“Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones.”可知,是通过分析答题的速度来判断是否作弊,故选A。
28.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.The Advantages of Online Exams

As is known, healthy foods can help save your life. Now, here is a list of healthy foods that can save your memory. It is best that every person knows what he eats, as he takes in, can make or break himself, in terms of health.
Fish is helpful in regaining back the kind of memory that a person once has. Eating fish can help you save the trouble of forgetfulness. Vegetables rich in fiber and other green leafy kinds are very suitable for people who want to avoid mental blocks. These foods contain high units of vitamin E.
Another food that is considered having different effects on preventing this brain weakness is avocado(鳄梨), which is also rich in vitamins E and C. It is really good to know these healthy foods that can save your memory are always at hand so as to help you in your fight against diseases.

Believe it or not, but studies have shown that around 85% of people applying for a job exclude themselves in a basic way. They apply for the wrong job, have typos (打字错误) in their resumes, use generic cover letters, show up late for the interview, and more. This fact is actually good news for you! You'd only be competing against the 15% that do things right. It takes nothing more than a little.
Research: Conduct intensive research about any company in which you have an interest before attending an interview.
●Read past press coverage. Learn about its products and/or services.
●Get some basic knowledge about the industry and learn its trend.
●Read customer feedback(反馈)on its products, and learn about its strengths and weaknesses.
Edit: Have your resume and cover letters triplechecked. Nothing is more unprofessional than a misspelt word, or a grammatical error on your application.
Rehearse: Before an interview, think about what you are going to say.
●Grab a friend and have him or her play the role of the interviewer.
●Rehearse and practice your answers.
Dress: Always dress to impress! You always want to look, at least, 10% better than the person who is interviewing you, regardless of the position for which you are applying.
Post Interview Follow-up: Always send a thank-you e-mail or letter after an interview.
With a little bit of preparation and follow-up, you will be better off than the 15% of your competition!
文章大意:本文主要介绍了如何进行准备才能快速找到自己想要的工作。

C.lacking in professional spirit
D.stupid enough to make such a mistake
答案:C 细节理解题。根据黑体字Edit所在的段落可知,没有比在申请中出现拼写或语法错误更显得不专业的了。因此,如果出现此类错误的话,雇主会认为申请人缺乏职业精神。
35.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Finding Perfect Jobs Quickly
B.How to Research Into a Company
C.Why You Have Fewer Competitors
D.How to Behave Yourself in an Interview
答案:A 标题概括题。本文主要介绍了如何快速找到理想的工作,因此A项是最佳标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that's not really true.__36__It doesn't matter whether the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn't be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. __37__Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.__38__
Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. __39__Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn't pass this test, then it's better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best.__40__Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
A.But negative words destroy all those things.
B.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.
C.Don't say something negative to others as well as to yourself.
D.And also many of us remember those unkind words said to us!
E.At times some words can make us disappointed or frustrated.
F.Our rude and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
G.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems and calm ourselves down.
答案:36~40 BGFDA

To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most__51__for anyone because it's four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn't fall__52__the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10—her highest score yet.
Lola doesn't want to be__53__differently from the other girls on her team. At competitions, the judges don't know about her vision __54__. She doesn't tell them, because she doesn't think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her __55__ attitude.

Dear_Mr._Green,
I_am_very_happy_to_hear_that_you_will_give_a_lecture_on_western_culture.Knowing that you're asking for advice on my favorite topics related to it, I would like to share what I am interested in most.
As we all know, western culture is quite different, especially the history of religion. Therefore, I wonder if you could tell us something about it to enrich our knowledge. What's more, how to follow western table manners is also a good topic because some of us are going to study abroad after graduation. It is the proper behaviors at meals that can help us get along well with foreigners.
I am looking forward to your excellent lecture and I am willing to offer help if you want more information.
Yours,
Li_Hua
