Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyber psychology, says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. ____7____ seems that the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally understood as negative.

Reading Comprehension (35%) Section A(15%) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life. But how about us ordinary people, burying ourselves in a(n) ____21____ existence? Many scholars ____22____ a subjectively meaningful life to three factors: the feeling that one’s life makes sense (coherence), the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals (purpose) and the belief that one’s life matters in the overall scheme of things (____23____ mattering). But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are ____24____ to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, which represents the detection of and ____25____ for life’s inherent beauty. To better understand this form of appreciation, we conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks and asked them to report how strongly they ____26____ statements linked to the factors of meaningful life. In one case, we found that participants who watched an awesome video, such as the BBC documentary Planet Earth, reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life, compared with participants watching more ____27____ videos, such as an instructional woodworking video. ____28____, participants who wrote about a recent experience for which they were ____29____ had a greater sense of meaning when compared with those who simply wrote about a common place they had ____30____ last week. The results confirmed our original theory: people are born with the ability to appreciate beauty, and appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But ____31____ that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, ____32____ lifestyles fill the day with targets. We attempt to ____33____ output both at work and at leisure.

B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) COLUMBIA, Mo. – Jilly Santos set three successive alarms on her phone, skipped breakfast, and hastily packed everything while her father drove. But last year she rarely made it to the doors of Rock Bridge High School by the first bell, at 7:50 a.m. Then she heard that the school board was about to make the day start even earlier, at 7:20 a.m. “I think if that happens,” recalled Jilly, 17. “I will have to drop out of school. And I will complain to the end!” The nearly 20-year movement to start high schools later has recently gained momentum as hundreds of schools in dozens of districts across the country have adopted later school starting time. These schools have referred to the accumulating research results on the adolescent body clock. Evidence suggests that later high school starts have widespread benefits. Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that the later a school’s start time, the better off the students were on many measures, including mental health, car crash rates, attendance and, in some schools, grades and standardized test scores. “The research was not a randomized controlled trial. Its methods were practical and findings were promising. Even schools with limited resources can make this one policy change with what appears to be benefits for their students,” Dr. Elizabeth Miller said. Researchers have found that during adolescence, as hormones(荷尔蒙) rise and the brain develops, teenagers who regularly sleep eight to nine hours a night are less likely to be tardy, get in fights or sustain athletic injuries. Sleeping well can also help to stop their tendency toward uncontrolled or risky decision-making. During adolescence, teenagers have a later release of the “sleep” hormone melatonin(褪黑素), which means they tend not to feel sleepy until around 11 p.m. This explains mainly for their late bed time and naturally leads to late rising time. Other minor factors include the presence of electronic devices, which excites the brain and slows the onset of sleep. The Minnesota study noted that 88 percent of the students kept a cellphone in their bedroom. But many parents object to shifting the start of the day later. They say doing so makes sports practices end late, jeopardizes student jobs and bites into time for homework. At heart, though, experts say, the resistance is driven by mistrust about the primacy of sleep. “It’s still a badge of honor to get five hours of sleep,” said Dr. Judith Owens. “It supposedly means you’re working harder, and that’s a good thing. So there has to be a cultural shift around sleep.” 36. Why do many schools decide to start school later? A. Because they respond to complaints from students like Jilly. B. Because some students dropped out of school because of early start. C. Because they find later start brings various benefits. D. Because they would like to copy the way of other schools in districts. 37. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. According to research, all the students experience higher academic grades because of later school starts. B. Enough sleep helps to prevent teenagers from making willful decisions. C. Later school starts are not suitable for schools with limited resources. D. The leading reason for students’ sleeping late is the existence of mobile phones. 38. The underlined word “jeopardizes” is closest in meaning to________. A. harms B. introduces C. frees D. exchanges 39. According to experts, many parents are against late school starts mainly because_____. A. they tend to object to all decisions schools make B. they are afraid that homework time will be cut C. they fear students will get poor test results D. they doubt the advantages of enough sleep (B) Computers can beat world chess champion Gary Kasparov at his game, count all the atoms in a nuclear explosion, and calculate complex figures in a fraction of a second, but they still fail at the slight differences in language translation. Artificial Intelligence computers have large amounts of memory, capable of storing huge translating dictionaries and extensive lists of grammar rules. Yet, today’s best computer language translators have just a 60 percent accuracy rate. Scientists are still unable to program the computer with human-like common sense reasoning power. Computer language translation is called Machine Translation, or MT. While not perfect, MT is surprisingly good. MT was designed to process dry, technical language that people find tedious to translate. Computers can translate basic phrases, such as “Your foot bone’s connected to your ankle bone, your ankle bone’s connected to your leg bone.” They can translate more difficult phrases, such as “Which witch is which?” Computers can also accurately translate “Wild thing, you make my heart sing!” into other languages because they can understand individual words, as long as the words are pre-programmed in their dictionary. But highly sensitive types of translating, such as important diplomatic conversations, are beyond the scope of computer translating programs. Human translators use intuitional meaning, not logic, to process words and phrases into other languages. A human can properly translate the phrase, “The pen is in the pen (围养禽畜的圈),” because most humans know that it means that a writing instrument is in a small enclosed space. Many times, computers do not have the ability to determine in which way two identical words in one sentence are to be used. In addition to using massive rule-programmed machines, computer programmers are also trying to teach computers to learn how to think for themselves through the “experience” of translating. Even with these efforts, programmers admit that a “thinking” computer might not ever be invented in the future. 40. Computers today are capable of ________. A. defeating the best chess player in the world B. telling subtle differences between languages C translating over 60 percent of difficult texts D. doing human-like common sense reasoning 41. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Computers can translate dry and difficult phrase. B. Computers can translate technical language. C. Computers can understand pre-programmed word. D Computers can understand sensitive language. 42. To improve machine translation, computer programmers are trying to ________. A. use powerful rule-programmed computers B. have computers compile translating dictionaries C. teach computers to think by practice D. add explanations of words in computer programs 43. The passage suggests that ________. A. the accuracy rate of machine translation cannot be raised B. it is impossible for computers to think as humans do C. only technical language is suitable for machine translation D. it is impossible to determine identical words Section C(4%) Directions: Rend the following passage Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you nerd. Water is a key ingredient in a healthy diet and lifestyle. There are many health benefits of drinking water. It helps flush impurities and toxins out of our systems. ____44____ In fact, nearly every system in our bodies relies on water for proper functioning. But what will happen if the water you drink every day is unhealthy? In past decades, concerns about tap water and its impact on overall health led some people to turn to bottled waters. You could pay to have a company deliver large bulky plastic bottles of water for the water cooler. Or you could purchase gallon jugs of distilled or “drinking water” at the grocery store. In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of different bottled waters available, with big distributors such as Coke and Pepsi jumping on the bandwagon. But are bottled drinking waters like Coke’s Dasani brand, Pepsi’s Aquafina, or Wal-Mart’s store brand really any healthier than your tap water? ____45____ As we have learned more about the water we drink, the technology behind drinking water filters and purification systems has improved dramatically. There are filters to remove impurities, chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria and almost every contaminant you can think of. With the right size and filter combination for your specific home, your tap water can be exceptionally pure and healthy. ____46____ Although the initial cost of a whole house system usually amounts to several hundred dollars that cost is often less than $100 a year if spread out over the life of the system. There may be additional expenses to replace carbon filters or lamps in an ultraviolet light water treatment device. These expenses can add another $100 or so to the annual cost of operating drinking water filters and purification systems. While some people may hesitate to spend so much each year for clean, safe drinking water, they are probably paying more for bottled drinking water. They understand that it is more expensive, but they are still willing to pay the extra money because bottled water is thought to be safer and healthier than filtered drinking water. ____47____ In reality, however, few bottled waters come from natural springs,and most of them use municipal tap water. A. Drinking water filtration systems have also become more affordable and easy to use. B. After all, bottled water is often marketed as “natural spring water” or “pure glacier water.” C. It aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients. D. And with a water filter, you at least know where the water you drink came from. E. Or would you be better off with a drinking water filtration system? F. So how do you tell if the water you are drinking is safe? 第Ⅱ卷 IV.
