"Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain," Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own. 27. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study? A. The guineafowl's social behaviour. B. Previous assumptions about birds C. His interest in animal brainpower. D. The faults in earlier research 28. What is Paragraph 4mainly about? A. The research subjects B The research methods. C. The research findings D. The research equipment 29. What can be learned from the passage? A Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group. C. Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups. D. Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies 30. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To present the findings of.a study of the guineafowl B. To explain the interactlon patterns in multilevel societies C. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed D For several decades, there has heen an extensive and organized campaign intended to generate distrust in science funded by those whose iriterests and ideolog1es are threatened by the findings of modern science In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science After all, scientists have been right about most things. Stressing successes isn't wrong, but for many people it's not persuasive. An alternative answer to the question "Why trust science?" is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. If you've got a high school science textbook lying around. you'll probably find that answer in it. But what is typically thought to be the scientific methoddevelop a hvpothesis (假 设). then design an experiment to test it-isn't what scientists actually do Science is dynamic: new methods get invented: old ones get abandoned: and sometimes, scientists can be found doing many different things If there is no identtable scientific method, then what is the reason for trust in science? The answer is how those claums are evaluated. The common element in modern science, regardless of the specific field or the particular methods being used, is the strict scrutiny (审查) of claims. It's this tough. sustained process that works to make sure faolty claims are rejected. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a lengthy "pecr review" because the reviewers are experts in the same field who have both the right and the obligation (贵任) to find faults. A. key aspect of scientific judgment is that ft is done collectively No claim gets accepted until it has been yetted by dozens, if not hundreds, of heads. In areas that have been cortested, like climate science and vaccine safety, it's thousands. This is why we are generally justified in not worrying too much if a single scientist, even a very famous one, disagrees with the claim. And this is why diversity in science-the more people looking at a claim from different angles-is important. Does this process ever go wrong? Of course. Scientists are humans. There is always the possibility of revising a claim on the basis of new evidence. Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are "always changing their minds." While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed. they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that it explains what might otherwise appear paradoxical (矛 盾 的): that science produces both novelty and stability. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness 31. How does the author think of the scientific method? A. Stable. B. Persuasive. C Unreliable. D. Unrealistic 32. What does the underlined word "vetted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Explained. B. Examned. C. Repeated. D. Released 33. According to the passage, the author may agree that __ A. it is not persuasive to reject those faulty claims B settled science tends to be collectively overturned 1 C a leading expert cannot play a decisive role in a scrutiny D diversiry in knowledge is the common element in science 34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Put Your Faith in Science B. Defend the Truth in Science C. Apply Your Mind to Science D. Explore A Dynamic Way to Science 第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,共10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。 The Changing Landscape of the Music Business The music industry is in the process of a great change. In the past decades, artists made money through physical sales of records, CDs, and cassettes. While in recent years, downloading songs from services such as Amazon or iTunes has become the most common way for people to purchase music, and the whole idea of buying music to own may be falling. To take its place are Internet apps that stream music directly to listeners oCss on their smartphones, tablets, or computers. 35 While this is great for fans, who now have access to it hns millions of songs at the flick of-a touchscreen, it has shattered the traditional model of how an artist manages h the his or her career With music lovers increasingly moving away from making one-time purchases towards an it has all-you-can-listen-to service, what is a hard-working artist to do?

Brian Message, manager of the band Radiohead, has come out in support of streaming services. He dare sees them as a way for musicians and fans to interact. plains Regardless of what artists may think about this change in the music industry, there's no arguing that bility they need to adapt in order to make money. 38 ness. Corporate sponsorship can be a risky option for musicians. A band can make much money by agreeing to promote a product or license its music for use in advertisements, but there are many ways that this can backfire. When bands work with businesses, they may lose the image they have worked to create. 39 Artists must develop an imagc that appeals to their fans in order to remain unique and authenhc: or they risk striking the wrong chord, which could leave them struggling to sustain careers in this new business landscape. A. Others have welcomed the idea of streaming music B. However, those forms of media are quickly fading away C Some big-name artists have called attention to the issue D. The rules could be different for smaller bands just starting out E. Maintaining a fine image while working on a career is certainly tricky F.

In certain parts of society, I just can't join.. Some things just are not possible if Heaof you are not in the flow of the Internet." or "We feel like we're standing outside a building that we have n access to." eners Today, mastering digital technology has become a key component of what it means to fully participa 4 in society. But one area in particular threatens to prevent some older adults from makcing connections: the 48. digital divide. 架抽 Asa recent study shows, one-third of adults aged 65 and older say they've never used the Internet, and half don't have Internet access at home. Of those who do use the Internet, nearly half say they need someone else's help to set up or use a new digital device. In contrast to concerns about technology use increasing isolation(孤 立: 隔离) among youngen populations, the communication and connection possible online can be especially valuable for older adults who are homebound, live far away from family, or have lost the loved ones. Older adults can use online tools 动 to connect with friends and family via messaging platforms, video chat, and social media even if they can no △出 longer physically visit them. And they can engage with the outside world through news, blogs, streaming platforms, and email, even if they are no longer able to move about as easily as they once could For older adults in partcular, the risks associated with social isolation are profound. Loneliness among older adults has been associated with depression, functional decline, and death. Technology can serve as an important tool to help reduce these risks, but only if we provide older adults with the skills they need, to make inclusion in the digital world accessible to them The importance of digital inclusion is not going to disappear with the generational changes of the coming decades. Technology is continuously developing, and with each new digital innovation come D challenges for even younger adults to adapt. 40. What prevents some older adults from connecting with society? 41. According to paragraph 4, how does technology benefit older adults? 42. Please briefly present your opinion on digital inclusion.
