Libraries are my world. I've been a patron（老主顾）all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country 36 through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work 37 a career and business center, a community gathering place and a base for hope.
In the spring of 2007 I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually 38 , but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax 39 . Yet patrons weren't looking for Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business.
I 40 people's interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were 41 reality, and they were looking for Plan B.
Things 42 in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to trouble Michigan. Last year, we 43 a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked（补充）every hour. Each night the library closed, the display was bare. We kept the job resources display up for months, 44 the fact that we normally keep displays up for a week.
Then there’s the 45 credit market. People feel concerned about their future and want to get 46 . They can’t afford a(n) 47 adviser, but 48 books is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan.
The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work 49 hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately. But I’m 50 to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle. In Michigan, we haven’t lost hope. As long as there are libraries here, there will always be hope.

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分45分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Reader’s Travel Photography Competition
This month’s images include some original and brilliant shots. The overall 2017 winner will receive a $200 holiday ticket and go on a 16-night wildlife holiday.
Doug Scott Guess what the young monk is doing! He is playing with his smart phone in secret.
PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Smart phones have taken over the world. Even without the photographer’s caption there is composition, humor and fun here. To the outsider, he could be having a short sleep, or lost in meditation. My eyes stop on this for a while and the admission of smart phones cannot be changed in any corner of the world.
Eloise Campbell I was able to follow this young eagle hunter and his eagle in the mountains of Mongolia and watched how it was trained. Though the bond between them was new, to me it seemed unbreakable—they were coexisting peacefully with each other.
Adam Cunningham White This shot grasps the moment when we had to change direction with this group of around 300 migrating reindeer in northern Sweden. They can become confused very quickly, making this moment risky. They could run in different directions immediately, making it difficult to get them back into a group.
Nick Dale This is a close-up of the left eye of a zebra.
PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Perfect, I have seen these before but rarely done with this competence. The depth of field is exactly right. The bold cropping(裁剪) makes people interested. Zebras are easy to photograph but not often this well.
What does Doug Scott probably want to tell us with his photo?
The monk’s life is full of pleasure.
What we see is not necessarily true.
The monk’s mental world should be noticed.
Smart phones are involved in people’s life worldwide.
Which of the following statements is true?
The winner of the photography competition will receive $200 as an award.
A harmonious atmosphere is reflected in Eloise Campbell’s photo.
The picture of migrating reindeer is taken in southern Sweden.
Nick Dale’s courage to approach wild animals impresses the judge most.
B
Tom Savage has quit his job as a research analyst and found a perfect new start setting up his own social enterprise in Madagascar. He tells readers of the UK newspaper the Guardian that they can do likewise and follow their dream.
Every day dozens of Toms are reported in newspapers and magazines and on career websites and blogs. Their real-life tales aren’t there to surprise or shock, as a result, many readers are taking on board.
Sophie Collins, 23, is a biology graduate from London. But before starting her course at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, she took a year out and enrolled in an Art Foundation course. “Art makes me happy, even if it won’t pay my bills for a couple of years.”said Collins.
The idea that you should be free to follow your dream, whether as a young person or as a middle-aged adult with a well-established career, is on the upgrade.
In schools, students are taught that they can do whatever they want and can be whoever they choose so long as they work hard enough at that dream. People in the public eye, such as Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli, have given up positions in admirable professions to take their chance on fame. Bocelli was a lawyer before he made it as a singer, selling 70 million albums worldwide.
The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their heart.
In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony.
Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come.
Even if they don’t have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later tire of.
George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him. “I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won’t truly succeed.”
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Sophie Collins took an art course before entering university to pursue her interest.
B. Andrea Bocelli, who used to be a lawyer, enjoys great success as a classical singer.
C. Ray Quinn achieved his career success though he had performed poorly at school.
D. George Evans thinks happiness counts more than money when choosing a career.
54. What does the underlined phrase mean?
A. sharing the same boat B. accepting the idea
C. rejecting the concept D. ignoring the fact
55. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Choose a career that truly appeals to you.
B. Make efforts to be interested in your job.
C. Make attempts to seek a meaningful career.
D. Build up confidence when seeking a job.
C
In 1970 archaeologists digging at Ein Gedi, an ancient settlement on the shores of what is now called the Dead Sea, dug up a scroll(卷册) which was written around 200-300 AD. But sadly, it was indeed so damaged in a fire that any attempt to handle it simply made things worse. That left archaeologists with a cruel dilemma: attempt to read their discovery, which would destroy it, or preserve it as found, but remain ignorant of what they said.
Technology, however, marches on. In a paper just published in Science Advances, a team led by William Seales, a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky, describe how they have managed to read the charred(烧焦的) scroll without having to open it—or, indeed, to touch it at all.
The first part of Dr Seales’s remote-reading method was to take an X-ray of the scroll, or rather, multiple X-rays from different directions that could be combined by a computer into a 3D representation of the scroll’s inside. This is a well-established procedure. It is, for example, the basis of medical scanning. The real magic came when the 3D image was fed into a series of computer algorithms that attempted to “unroll” the scroll, leaving it to be read at an archaeologist’s leisure.
To do this, the algorithms in question had to perform several tricky tasks, the first of which was to work out how to distinguish particular layers(层) of the rolled-up scroll from those above and below. The next step was to look for small density(浓度) variations that might reflect the presence or absence of ink— and thus reveal individual letters. The final task was to take the hundreds of small images picked out by the algorithms and put them into a single, larger one. This was a matter both of science and of art. The algorithms got the jigsaw(拼图游戏) right only half of the time, meaning people had to do much of the work by hand.
The result, though, is worth the effort. The outcome of Dr Seales’s labour is a computer image showing the scroll as it would look if it were unrolled. The resolution is so good that the text is easily recognized. The scroll turns out to be part of Leviticus. It is thus the oldest known example of one of the first five books of the Bible.
What was archaeologists’ headache about the scroll?
The words on the scroll were beyond recognition.
The condition of the scroll was beyond preservation.
The scroll was unlikely to be read without destruction.
The repairing of the scroll was difficult to complete.
What is the key to Dr Seales’s remote-reading method?
A. Multiple X-rays. B. Computer algorithms.
C. Particular layers. D. Density variations.
58. What does the writer mean by “tricky” in paragraph 4?
A. The tasks involve much accurate work.
B. The tasks involve great patience and efforts.
C. The tasks involve skills of science and art.
D. The tasks involve humans’ work by hand.
59. What is the result of Dr Seales’s effort on the scroll?
A. The scroll is unrolled to be easily recognized.
B. The scroll is repaired to be easily recognized.
C. The scroll is recognized without being unrolled.
D. The scroll is found to be the oldest known Bible.
D
In 2009 a new flu virus was discovered. Combining elements of the viruses that cause bird flu and swine flu, this new virus, named H1N1, spread quickly. Within weeks, public health agencies around the world feared a terrible pandemic (流行病) was under way. Some commentators warned of an outbreak on the scale of the 1918 Spanish flu. Worse, no vaccine(疫苗) was readily available. The only hope public health authorities had was to slow its spread. But to do that, they needed to know where it already was.
In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) required that doctors inform them of new flu cases. Yet the picture of the pandemic that showed up was always a week or two out of date. People might feel sick for days but wait before consulting a doctor. Relaying the information back to the central organizations took time, and the CDC only figured out the numbers once a week. With a rapidly spreading disease, a two-week lag is an eternity. This delay completely blinded public health agencies at the most urgent moments.
Few weeks before the H1N1 virus made headlines, engineers at the Internet giant Google published a paper in Nature. It got experts’ attention but was overlooked. The authors explained how Google could “predict” the spread of the winter flu, not just nationally, but down to specific regions and even states. Since Google receives more than three billion search queries every day and saves them all, it had plenty of data to work with.
Google took the 50 million most common search terms that Americans type and compared the list with CDC data on the spread of seasonal flu between 2003 and 2008. The idea was to identify areas affected by the flu virus by what people searched for on the Internet. Others had tried to do this with Internet search terms, but no one else had as much data-processing power, as Google.
While the Googlers guessed that the searches might be aimed at getting flu information—typing phrases like “medicine for cough and fever”—that wasn’t the point: they didn’t know, and they designed a system that didn’t care. All their system did was look for correlations(相关性) between the frequency of certain search queries and the spread of the flu over time and space. In total, they processed 450 million different mathematical models in order to test the search terms, comparing their predictions against actual flu cases from the CDC in 2007 and 2008. And their software found a combination of 45 search terms that had a strong correlation between their prediction and the official figures nationwide. Like the CDC, they could tell where the flu had spread, but unlike the CDC they could tell it in near real time, not a week or two after the fact.
Thus when the H1N1 crisis struck in 2009, Google’s system proved to be a more useful and timely indicator than government statistics with their natural reporting lags. Public health officials were armed with valuable information.
Strikingly, Google’s method is built on “big data”—the ability of society to handle information in new ways to produce useful insights or goods and services of significant value. However, ▲ . For example, in 2012 it identified a sudden rise in flu cases, but overstated the amount, perhaps because of too much media attention about the flu. Yet what is clear is that the next time a pandemic comes around, the world will have a better tool to predict and thus prevent its spread.
The beginning paragraph aims to _____.
announce the discovery of a new virus
describe how severe the disaster was
criticize the inability of the authorities
introduce the background information
The “an eternity” in Paragraph 2 refers to a period of time that is _____.
too long to bear
too hard to kill
too easy to spend
too short to use
Google’s processing of data to predict the H1N1 crisis does NOT include _____.
selecting the data from its database
checking the data with the CDC database
ensuring the accuracy of its data
relating the data to actual flu cases
Google was better than CDC at predicting the H1N1 crisis in that _____.
Google had more data that were accurate
Google had more data that were updated
Google had more reports of H1N1 symptoms
Google had more medical resources on H1N1
Which of the following is best suited to the blank “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph?
it has drawn too much media attention
it does not have as much value as expected
it has lost its own advantages nowadays
it still needs to be improved as a newcomer
The best title of the passage is probably _____.
Big Data Finding New Virus
Big Data Finding New Cures
Big Data Killing New Virus
Big Data Seeing New Trends

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Nita was recently married and had started living with her husband and mother-in-law. Nita's mother-in-law was conservative whereas Nita was liberal with modern lifestyle. Soon they both started quarreling due to differences in opinions and lifestyle. As days and months passed, neither of them changed their behavior.
Nita became very aggressive over time and started to hate her mother-in-law. Once, as usual, when she quarreled with her mother-in-law, her husband took his mother's side. She became so angry as to leave to her father's home. Nita's father was a chemist and she told him about everything that's been happening. Then she pleaded her father to give her something poisonous, so she could mix it up and give it to her mother- in- law to get rid of her.
Nita's father felt pity at her situation but tried to persuade her not to do anything against the law. However, Nita was in no mood to listen and understand. Finally, a clever idea occurred to his mind. He brought a powder and told her, "Every day when you make lunch or dinner, just mix a little of this powder in your mother-in-law's meal, since the quantity is less, she will die slowly in a few months and people will think she has died naturally".
He also told her, “Because no one should have doubt on you, from today onwards, you will not fight at all with your mother-in-law but instead you will be very caring towards her, even if she is rude to you, you will simply be polite only". Nita agreed, thinking she would be free from her mother-in-law's quarreling in a few months. As advised by her father, she started mixing the powder in her mother-in-law's meals and behaved in a caring and polite manner whenever her mother-in-law said something bad.
Paragraph 1:
As time passed, Nita's mother-in-law's nature also started to change.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
She hurried to her father's home and asked for the antidote( 解药) to cure the effect of that poisonous powder.

Five months passed and Nita had been mixing the powder but atmosphere of the house was changed. There were no quarrels, both were praising each while talking to neighbors. They got very attached to each other like mother and daughter. Now, Nita started to get worried thinking due to the powder, her mother-in-law may die soon.
Paragraph 2:
She hurried to her father's home and asked for the antidote to cure the effect of that poisonous powder. She said, “I don't want to lose my mother-in-law, she is just like my mom and I love her very much". Her father smiled and said, “Which poison? I had simply given you a sweetener!"

Libraries are my world. I've been a patron（老主顾）all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country 36 through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work 37 a career and business center, a community gathering place and a base for hope.
In the spring of 2007 I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually 38 , but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax 39 . Yet patrons weren't looking for Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business.
I 40 people's interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were 41 reality, and they were looking for Plan B.
Things 42 in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to trouble Michigan. Last year, we 43 a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked（补充）every hour.

Then there’s the 45 credit market. People feel concerned about their future and want to get 46 . They can’t afford a(n) 47 adviser, but 48 books is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan.
The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work 49 hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately.

Reader’s Travel Photography Competition
This month’s images include some original and brilliant shots. The overall 2017 winner will receive a $200 holiday ticket and go on a 16-night wildlife holiday.
Doug Scott Guess what the young monk is doing! He is playing with his smart phone in secret.
PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Smart phones have taken over the world. Even without the photographer’s caption there is composition, humor and fun here. To the outsider, he could be having a short sleep, or lost in meditation. My eyes stop on this for a while and the admission of smart phones cannot be changed in any corner of the world.
Eloise Campbell I was able to follow this young eagle hunter and his eagle in the mountains of Mongolia and watched how it was trained. Though the bond between them was new, to me it seemed unbreakable—they were coexisting peacefully with each other.
Adam Cunningham White This shot grasps the moment when we had to change direction with this group of around 300 migrating reindeer in northern Sweden. They can become confused very quickly, making this moment risky. They could run in different directions immediately, making it difficult to get them back into a group.
Nick Dale This is a close-up of the left eye of a zebra.
PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Perfect, I have seen these before but rarely done with this competence. The depth of field is exactly right. The bold cropping(裁剪) makes people interested. Zebras are easy to photograph but not often this well.
What does Doug Scott probably want to tell us with his photo?
The monk’s life is full of pleasure.
What we see is not necessarily true.
The monk’s mental world should be noticed.
Smart phones are involved in people’s life worldwide.
Which of the following statements is true?
The winner of the photography competition will receive $200 as an award.
A harmonious atmosphere is reflected in Eloise Campbell’s photo.
The picture of migrating reindeer is taken in southern Sweden.
Nick Dale’s courage to approach wild animals impresses the judge most.
B
Tom Savage has quit his job as a research analyst and found a perfect new start setting up his own social enterprise in Madagascar. He tells readers of the UK newspaper the Guardian that they can do likewise and follow their dream.
Every day dozens of Toms are reported in newspapers and magazines and on career websites and blogs. Their real-life tales aren’t there to surprise or shock, as a result, many readers are taking on board.
Sophie Collins, 23, is a biology graduate from London. But before starting her course at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, she took a year out and enrolled in an Art Foundation course. “Art makes me happy, even if it won’t pay my bills for a couple of years.”said Collins.
The idea that you should be free to follow your dream, whether as a young person or as a middle-aged adult with a well-established career, is on the upgrade.
In schools, students are taught that they can do whatever they want and can be whoever they choose so long as they work hard enough at that dream. People in the public eye, such as Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli, have given up positions in admirable professions to take their chance on fame. Bocelli was a lawyer before he made it as a singer, selling 70 million albums worldwide.
The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their heart.
In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony.
Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come.
Even if they don’t have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later tire of.
George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him. “I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won’t truly succeed.”
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Sophie Collins took an art course before entering university to pursue her interest.
B. Andrea Bocelli, who used to be a lawyer, enjoys great success as a classical singer.
C. Ray Quinn achieved his career success though he had performed poorly at school.
D. George Evans thinks happiness counts more than money when choosing a career.
54. What does the underlined phrase mean?
A. sharing the same boat B. accepting the idea
C. rejecting the concept D. ignoring the fact
55. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Choose a career that truly appeals to you.
B. Make efforts to be interested in your job.
C. Make attempts to seek a meaningful career.
D. Build up confidence when seeking a job.
C
In 1970 archaeologists digging at Ein Gedi, an ancient settlement on the shores of what is now called the Dead Sea, dug up a scroll(卷册) which was written around 200-300 AD. But sadly, it was indeed so damaged in a fire that any attempt to handle it simply made things worse. That left archaeologists with a cruel dilemma: attempt to read their discovery, which would destroy it, or preserve it as found, but remain ignorant of what they said.
Technology, however, marches on. In a paper just published in Science Advances, a team led by William Seales, a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky, describe how they have managed to read the charred(烧焦的) scroll without having to open it—or, indeed, to touch it at all.
The first part of Dr Seales’s remote-reading method was to take an X-ray of the scroll, or rather, multiple X-rays from different directions that could be combined by a computer into a 3D representation of the scroll’s inside. This is a well-established procedure. It is, for example, the basis of medical scanning. The real magic came when the 3D image was fed into a series of computer algorithms that attempted to “unroll” the scroll, leaving it to be read at an archaeologist’s leisure.
To do this, the algorithms in question had to perform several tricky tasks, the first of which was to work out how to distinguish particular layers(层) of the rolled-up scroll from those above and below. The next step was to look for small density(浓度) variations that might reflect the presence or absence of ink— and thus reveal individual letters. The final task was to take the hundreds of small images picked out by the algorithms and put them into a single, larger one. This was a matter both of science and of art. The algorithms got the jigsaw(拼图游戏) right only half of the time, meaning people had to do much of the work by hand.
The result, though, is worth the effort. The outcome of Dr Seales’s labour is a computer image showing the scroll as it would look if it were unrolled. The resolution is so good that the text is easily recognized. The scroll turns out to be part of Leviticus. It is thus the oldest known example of one of the first five books of the Bible.
What was archaeologists’ headache about the scroll?
The words on the scroll were beyond recognition.
The condition of the scroll was beyond preservation.
The scroll was unlikely to be read without destruction.
The repairing of the scroll was difficult to complete.
What is the key to Dr Seales’s remote-reading method?
A. Multiple X-rays. B. Computer algorithms.
C. Particular layers. D. Density variations.
58. What does the writer mean by “tricky” in paragraph 4?
A. The tasks involve much accurate work.
B. The tasks involve great patience and efforts.
C. The tasks involve skills of science and art.
D. The tasks involve humans’ work by hand.
59. What is the result of Dr Seales’s effort on the scroll?
A. The scroll is unrolled to be easily recognized.
B. The scroll is repaired to be easily recognized.
C. The scroll is recognized without being unrolled.
D. The scroll is found to be the oldest known Bible.
D
In 2009 a new flu virus was discovered. Combining elements of the viruses that cause bird flu and swine flu, this new virus, named H1N1, spread quickly. Within weeks, public health agencies around the world feared a terrible pandemic (流行病) was under way. Some commentators warned of an outbreak on the scale of the 1918 Spanish flu. Worse, no vaccine(疫苗) was readily available. The only hope public health authorities had was to slow its spread. But to do that, they needed to know where it already was.
In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) required that doctors inform them of new flu cases. Yet the picture of the pandemic that showed up was always a week or two out of date. People might feel sick for days but wait before consulting a doctor. Relaying the information back to the central organizations took time, and the CDC only figured out the numbers once a week. With a rapidly spreading disease, a two-week lag is an eternity. This delay completely blinded public health agencies at the most urgent moments.
Few weeks before the H1N1 virus made headlines, engineers at the Internet giant Google published a paper in Nature. It got experts’ attention but was overlooked. The authors explained how Google could “predict” the spread of the winter flu, not just nationally, but down to specific regions and even states. Since Google receives more than three billion search queries every day and saves them all, it had plenty of data to work with.
Google took the 50 million most common search terms that Americans type and compared the list with CDC data on the spread of seasonal flu between 2003 and 2008. The idea was to identify areas affected by the flu virus by what people searched for on the Internet. Others had tried to do this with Internet search terms, but no one else had as much data-processing power, as Google.
While the Googlers guessed that the searches might be aimed at getting flu information—typing phrases like “medicine for cough and fever”—that wasn’t the point: they didn’t know, and they designed a system that didn’t care. All their system did was look for correlations(相关性) between the frequency of certain search queries and the spread of the flu over time and space. In total, they processed 450 million different mathematical models in order to test the search terms, comparing their predictions against actual flu cases from the CDC in 2007 and 2008. And their software found a combination of 45 search terms that had a strong correlation between their prediction and the official figures nationwide. Like the CDC, they could tell where the flu had spread, but unlike the CDC they could tell it in near real time, not a week or two after the fact.
Thus when the H1N1 crisis struck in 2009, Google’s system proved to be a more useful and timely indicator than government statistics with their natural reporting lags. Public health officials were armed with valuable information.
Strikingly, Google’s method is built on “big data”—the ability of society to handle information in new ways to produce useful insights or goods and services of significant value. However, ▲ . For example, in 2012 it identified a sudden rise in flu cases, but overstated the amount, perhaps because of too much media attention about the flu. Yet what is clear is that the next time a pandemic comes around, the world will have a better tool to predict and thus prevent its spread.
The beginning paragraph aims to _____.
announce the discovery of a new virus
describe how severe the disaster was
criticize the inability of the authorities
introduce the background information
The “an eternity” in Paragraph 2 refers to a period of time that is _____.
too long to bear
too hard to kill
too easy to spend
too short to use
Google’s processing of data to predict the H1N1 crisis does NOT include _____.
selecting the data from its database
checking the data with the CDC database
ensuring the accuracy of its data
relating the data to actual flu cases
Google was better than CDC at predicting the H1N1 crisis in that _____.
Google had more data that were accurate
Google had more data that were updated
Google had more reports of H1N1 symptoms
Google had more medical resources on H1N1
Which of the following is best suited to the blank “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph?
it has drawn too much media attention
it does not have as much value as expected
it has lost its own advantages nowadays
it still needs to be improved as a newcomer
The best title of the passage is probably _____.
Big Data Finding New Virus
Big Data Finding New Cures
Big Data Killing New Virus
Big Data Seeing New Trends

Nita was recently married and had started living with her husband and mother-in-law. Nita's mother-in-law was conservative whereas Nita was liberal with modern lifestyle. Soon they both started quarreling due to differences in opinions and lifestyle. As days and months passed, neither of them changed their behavior.
Nita became very aggressive over time and started to hate her mother-in-law. Once, as usual, when she quarreled with her mother-in-law, her husband took his mother's side. She became so angry as to leave to her father's home. Nita's father was a chemist and she told him about everything that's been happening. Then she pleaded her father to give her something poisonous, so she could mix it up and give it to her mother- in- law to get rid of her.
Nita's father felt pity at her situation but tried to persuade her not to do anything against the law. However, Nita was in no mood to listen and understand. Finally, a clever idea occurred to his mind. He brought a powder and told her, "Every day when you make lunch or dinner, just mix a little of this powder in your mother-in-law's meal, since the quantity is less, she will die slowly in a few months and people will think she has died naturally".
He also told her, “Because no one should have doubt on you, from today onwards, you will not fight at all with your mother-in-law but instead you will be very caring towards her, even if she is rude to you, you will simply be polite only". Nita agreed, thinking she would be free from her mother-in-law's quarreling in a few months. As advised by her father, she started mixing the powder in her mother-in-law's meals and behaved in a caring and polite manner whenever her mother-in-law said something bad.
Paragraph 1:
As time passed, Nita's mother-in-law's nature also started to change.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
She hurried to her father's home and asked for the antidote( 解药) to cure the effect of that poisonous powder.
