The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s
depths or eat microwave puters have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and
pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet
print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more
ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the
Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to
find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong；I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing
you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t
right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray ” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I
read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored
this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something
that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that
she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I'm so embarrassed ,” she said, shaking her head, as I
explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed
up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I
had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave
sausage while I waited
4. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ______.
A. she thought she knew it well
B. she had purchased medicine online
C. she graduated from a medical school
D. she had been treated by local doctors
5. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond ______.
A. to have contacted many friends
B. to have recovered in a short time
C. to have her assumption confirmed
D. to have her disease identified in time
6. Mrs. Almond said “I’m so embarrassed” (Para. 7) because ______.
A. she had distrusted her close friends
B. she had caused unnecessary trouble
C. she had to refuse the doctor’s advice
D. she had to tell the truth to the doctor
7. By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ______.
A. it’s a must to take a break at work
B. it’s vital to believe in IT professionals
C. it’s unwise to simply rely on technology
D it’s a danger to work long hours on computers
C
If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be Your neighbour or a super star A few people have
experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟
现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment
at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner,
an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I
saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."
The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from
each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm,
you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.
To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their
arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）
movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's
body.
Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have
shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who
don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the
Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people
and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned
digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores
were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them,
because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people
feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice
way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."
8. The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.
A. building B. exchanging C. controlling D. transplanting
9. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______.
A. our feelings are related to our bodily experience
B. we can learn to take control of other people's bodies
C. participants will live more passionately after the experiment
D. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes
10. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned
digital character, ______.
A. they fought strongly against racism
B. they scored lower on the test for racism
C. they changed their behaviour dramatically
D. they were more biased against those unlike them
11. It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A. technology helps people realize their dreams
B. our biases could be eliminated through experiments
C virtual reality helps promote understanding among people
D. our points of view about others need changing constantly
D

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules
for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控)
in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists
have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.
“They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you
care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face
conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean
people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more
good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of
news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most
e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more
likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want
to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or
anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they
preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains
in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”
12. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to
A. News reports. B. Research papers.
C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations．
13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re inconsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
14. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research
A. Sports news. B. Science articles.
C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B. Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom. He was one of the last two students left in Room Five’s
Geography Bee (地理知识竞赛). His opponent (对手) had missed the last question, so now it was Hector’s turn.
If he answered his question right, he would be the Room Five champion.
“Where did I put that second sheet of questions ” Mr. Adler whispered. He was looking through a thick pile of
papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler was a great teacher, but everyone knew he was disorganized (没有条理的).
He often lost things. “Well, sorry for keeping you waiting,” Mr. Adler said after a long time. “Hector, please tell us
the capital of Brazil.” When Hector heard the question, he smiled — and then he gave the right answer.
Later that day, Hector was in the school courtyard. Many of his classmates came to congratulate him. He wore
a proud smile, greeted them all, and thanked each one. Victory felt really sweet. He was so looking forward to the
final contest the next day.
It was getting late, and the courtyard was almost empty. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr.
Adler walking across the courtyard. The teacher was holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried by, an
envelope fell out. Mr. Adler didn’t notice. He turned a corner and was gone. Hector picked up the envelope. On it
were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers.” Hector’s eyes opened wide as he looked at it.
He didn’t have time to think about the results before he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as he finished, Hector knew he had made a wrong choice. He had cheated, and no matter what he did
now, he couldn’t change that. “What if Mr. Adler thinks I stole the questions for this morning’s bee too ” Hector
thought. “He will definitely take away my Room Five champion title.” He never expected that one of the best days
of his life would turn so bad so fast. Hector was worried about what he did and didn’t know what to do.
Paragraph 1:
Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room.

The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s
depths or eat microwave puters have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and
pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet
print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more
ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the
Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to
find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong；I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing
you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”
As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t
right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray ” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I
read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”
However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored
this.
I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something
that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.
Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that
she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I'm so embarrassed ,” she said, shaking her head, as I
explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed
up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I
had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave
sausage while I waited
4. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ______.
A. she thought she knew it well
B. she had purchased medicine online
C. she graduated from a medical school
D. she had been treated by local doctors
5. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond ______.
A. to have contacted many friends
B. to have recovered in a short time
C. to have her assumption confirmed
D. to have her disease identified in time
6. Mrs. Almond said “I’m so embarrassed” (Para. 7) because ______.
A. she had distrusted her close friends
B. she had caused unnecessary trouble
C. she had to refuse the doctor’s advice
D. she had to tell the truth to the doctor
7. By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ______.
A. it’s a must to take a break at work
B. it’s vital to believe in IT professionals
C. it’s unwise to simply rely on technology
D it’s a danger to work long hours on computers
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
C
If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be Your neighbour or a super star A few people have
experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟
现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment
at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner,
an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I
saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."
The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from
each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm,
you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.
To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their
arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）
movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's
body.
Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have
shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who
don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the
Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people
and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned
digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores
were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them,
because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people
feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice
way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."
8. The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.
A. building B. exchanging C. controlling D. transplanting
9. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______.
A. our feelings are related to our bodily experience
B. we can learn to take control of other people's bodies
C. participants will live more passionately after the experiment
D. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes
10. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned
digital character, ______.
A. they fought strongly against racism
B. they scored lower on the test for racism
C. they changed their behaviour dramatically
D. they were more biased against those unlike them
11. It can be concluded from the passage that______.
A. technology helps people realize their dreams
B. our biases could be eliminated through experiments
C virtual reality helps promote understanding among people
D. our points of view about others need changing constantly
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
D

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules
for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控)
in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists
have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.
“They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you
care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face
conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean
people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more
good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of
news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most
e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more
likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want
to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or
anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they
preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains
in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”
12. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to
A. News reports. B. Research papers.
C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations．
13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer
A. They’re socially inactive.
B. They’re good at telling stories.
C. They’re inconsiderate of others.
D. They’re careful with their words.
14. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research
A. Sports news. B. Science articles.
C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B. Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times
D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom. He was one of the last two students left in Room Five’s
Geography Bee (地理知识竞赛). His opponent (对手) had missed the last question, so now it was Hector’s turn.
If he answered his question right, he would be the Room Five champion.
“Where did I put that second sheet of questions ” Mr. Adler whispered. He was looking through a thick pile of
papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler was a great teacher, but everyone knew he was disorganized (没有条理的).
He often lost things. “Well, sorry for keeping you waiting,” Mr. Adler said after a long time. “Hector, please tell us
the capital of Brazil.” When Hector heard the question, he smiled — and then he gave the right answer.
Later that day, Hector was in the school courtyard. Many of his classmates came to congratulate him. He wore
a proud smile, greeted them all, and thanked each one. Victory felt really sweet. He was so looking forward to the
final contest the next day.
It was getting late, and the courtyard was almost empty. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr.
Adler walking across the courtyard. The teacher was holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried by, an
envelope fell out. Mr. Adler didn’t notice. He turned a corner and was gone. Hector picked up the envelope. On it
were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers.” Hector’s eyes opened wide as he looked at it.
He didn’t have time to think about the results before he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as he finished, Hector knew he had made a wrong choice. He had cheated, and no matter what he did
now, he couldn’t change that. “What if Mr. Adler thinks I stole the questions for this morning’s bee too ” Hector
thought. “He will definitely take away my Room Five champion title.” He never expected that one of the best days
of his life would turn so bad so fast. Hector was worried about what he did and didn’t know what to do.
Paragraph 1:
Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room.

Paragraph 2:
The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. His hands shaking
slightly, he held the crumpled envelope tightly, guilt and anxiety written all over his face. He knocked gently on the
door, his voice trembling as he honestly admitted he’d accidentally picked up the envelope and read the answers by
mistake. He apologized sincerely for his thoughtless act and offered to give up the championship without hesitation.
Mr. Adler smiled warmly, patting his shoulder and praising his courage, saying honesty mattered far more than any
trophy or title.
The next day, the entire school gathered to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Before the contest started,
Mr. Adler called him aside. “I’ve changed some questions to make it fair,” he whispered. Relieved and grateful,
Hector took a deep breath, focusing fully on the new questions. He relied on his own geography knowledge to
answer each one carefully and confidently, his mind clear of the earlier mistake. In the end, he won fairly, and the
audience burst into cheers. Mr. Adler announced to the whole school that Hector was both a geography champion
and a champion of honesty. Hector learned that true victory comes from integrity, not shortcuts.
