My elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after our father died when I was six.
For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, Steve took time to ask me what had happened. When I explained that my baseball had broken Mrs. Holt's basement window, Steve encouraged me to confess to it. After all, I should have been playing in the park and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth?grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and she praised me.
Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn't know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is whether it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
4.What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Cover. B.Admit.
C.Deny. D.Agree.
5.How did the author feel when he faced Mrs. Holt?
A.He was unwilling.
B.He felt frightened.
C.He appeared challenging.
D.He was light?hearted.
6.Which was the most important lesson the author learned from his brother?
A.Care for the property of others.
B.The value of honesty.
C.Responsibility for one's actions.
D.Respect for living things.
7.What technique does the author mainly use to organize the text?
A.Time order. B.Cause and effect.
C.Examples. D.Logical reasoning.
C
Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?
In a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so, we'll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built?in microphones. That's because technological progress is extremely rapid. It's only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.
It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It's not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent (对应词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator's job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.
It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't — or shouldn't — involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it's about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.
Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.
8.What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Ready. B.Approaching.
C.Helpful. D.Advanced.
9.Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?
A.Their data is not adequate enough.
B.The real meaning of words can vary.
C.Their accuracy needs big improvement.
D.A soul hasn't been breathed in them.
10.What view does the author hold about translation?
A.Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B.Slight distinctions matter little in translation.
C.Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D.Cultures deserve more attention than words used.
11.What is the best title for the text?
A.An Expert's Precise Prediction
B.The Complexity of Translation
C.Who Will Be a Better Translator
D.Will Language Barrier Actually Fall
D
You'll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it's long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules. Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap?around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround?sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.
VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.
Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real?world lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
12.What equipment do we need for virtual reality?
A.A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.
B.A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.
C.A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.
D.A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.
13.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The advantages of virtual reality.
B.The influences of virtual reality.
C.The importance of virtual reality.
D.The applications of virtual reality.
14.What is the writer's attitude towards VR?
A.Cautious. B.Appreciative.
C.Doubtful. D.Uninterested.
15.According to the passage, virtual reality means ________.
A.experiencing things that don't really exist
B.creating something that doesn't exist
C.imagining beautiful things in our mind
D.cloning something that has died out
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。
Coming face?to?face with your inadequacies (缺点) can be painful, to say the least. __1__ It even makes you question yourself. Your knee?jerk reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss the critique entirely. But handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious, but it could ultimately help you grow as a person. Here's how to do it.
?Be objective about the criticism
Before you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person's opinion, take a step back and look at it objectively.
Next time you get a bad review, don't immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you, but rather, take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate. __2__
?Avoid unnecessary conflict
If you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to take. In your discomfort, you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself. __3__
?Be open to the idea of change
__4__ And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance” that can prevent us from changing even when that's what we need most.
?Ask questions
If you're open to using the criticism as a springboard to improvement, you will likely need more information. __5__ Your emotions will be running high, and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information. However, when you feel ready, it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you. Even if you don't agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it.
A.Most of us are pretty stubborn.
B.There is no doubt that change is necessary.
C.But it's best to avoid getting into an argument.
D.Being sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere.

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you and your family are visiting China during the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals in China. It is an occasion when family members get together and have a good rest. Before the festival, we clean our houses and decorate them with red couplets and pictures, which express our best wishes for the coming new year. During the festival, we visit relatives. Children are given lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, from which you can learn more about Chinese culture. In the north of China the special food for the Spring Festival is dumpling.
Please decide which cities you are going to visit and book the hotel rooms in advance.
I wish you a pleasant journey in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
