a camera can
directly and precisely measure the amount of light it is picking up,we don't have that physical apparatus().
Instead we have"an eye with a brain attached,"Laeng said.When the eye is confronted with a scene,your brain"is
analyzing what it's seeing,building up a possible scenario and adapting to it,"he said.
"The information we get from the world is quite indeterminate,"Laeng said."The brain goes into a
constant guessing mode,we have to sort of come up with the best solution,but there are several possibilities
for the same type of input."Illusions such as the expanding hole feed into the debate over 29)

the world,"Purves said."30)we see,whether it's line length,color,brightness,you name it."
Visual illusions help reveal what our mind's eye is up to by showcasing mismatches between what we see
and what is really out there.
One hypothesis,Laeng said,is that the brain is trying to predict the future.

Well,it had to happen eventually.But,in a sense,it already had.We hadn't seen Roger Federer play

Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a
newborn child.Last spring one of the two,Australia,gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family
leave starting in 2011.I wasn't surprised when this didn't make the news here in the United States-we're
now the only wealthy country without such a policy.

As Yale law professor Anne Alstott,argues,54parental support depends on defining the family as a
social good that,in some sense,society must pay for.Parents are 55 in many ways in their lives:there is
"no exit"when it comes to children.Society expects parents to provide their children with continuity of care,
meaning the 56 and intimate care that human beings need to develop their intellectual,emotional and
moral capabilities.And society expects parents to persist in their roles for 18 years,or longer if needed.
While most parents do this out of love,there are public punishments for not providing care.What parents
do,in other words,is of deep57.to the state,for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only

Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans.As

supplied by merchant capitalists.After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to77factories with
machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers.78 transportation networks,the rise of cities,and
the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production.
Apprentices were considered part of the family,and masters were responsible not only for teaching their
apprentices a trade but also for providing them with some education and for79their moral behavior.
Joumeymen knew that if they 80 their skill,they could become respected master artisans with their own
shops.Also,skilled artisans did not work by the clock.
The factory changed that.Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by
hand,and pride in craftsmanship gave way to the 81to increase rates of productivity.The new methods
of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time.Absenteeism and lateness hurt productivity and,

The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily.The factory
clock became the symbol of the new work rules.One mill worker who finally84complained
revealingly about"obedience to the ding-dong of the bell-just as though we are so many living machines."
With the 85 of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community.Unlike artisan
workshops in which apprentices worked86with the masters supervising them,factories sharply
separated workers from management.Few workers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions,and even
well-paid workers sensed their 87 in status.
In this newly emerging economic order,workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and
traditional ways of life.The labor movement gathered some momentum(动力,勢头)in the decade before

workers were willing to strike or 89 collective action.And skilled craft workers,who led the uion
movement,did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers.
More than a decade of agitation(微a烈争论)did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most
industries by the 1850's,and the courts also recognized workers'right to strike,but these 90 had little

Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best
according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Her name was perfect.
She came to them in the dead of night,in the cold.She was more than half dead,starved down to bones,
her hair completely eaten away by mange ()She had been run off from more than one yard when she
finally moved into an empty doghouse in the trees beyond my mother's yard.At least she was out of the
wind.
They found her,my mother and brother,in the daylight of the next day.They could not even tell,at first,
she was a dog.
They did not call the vet because she knew what the vet would do.The dog was too far gone to save;
any fool could see that.My mama lives in the country and has to run off two wandering dogs a week,but
this time,she said,"Ijust couldn't.She couldn't even get up."How do you r offa dog that cannot stand?
The broke-down dog had met with two people who hate to give up on anything,even a month-old
newspaper.They save batteries that have been dead for a long,long time.My mother keeps pens that stopped
writing in 1974.
My brother Mark looked at her,at her tragic face,and named her.
"Hey,Pretty Girl,"he said.
It was as if he could see beyond the ruin,or maybe into it.I don't know.
Her teeth were worn down.Her eyes were clouded.But Mark and my mother fed her,gave her water,
and bathed her in burned motor oil,the way my people have been curing the mange for generations.They
got her looking better,and then they called the vet.
The vet found she had heartworm.She was walking dead,anyway,at her age.It was then I saw her,still
a sack of bones.It would be a kindness,I told my mother,to put her down.She nodded her head.
A month later,I pulled into the driveway to see a beautiful white German shepherd standing watch at
the front of the house.It was not a miracle;her suffering did not magically cease.But together,my mother and
brother had tended her and even let her live in the house.She ate people food and drank butter-milk.She was
supposed to last,at most,a few weeks or months.She lived three more yearsdecades,in dog years-following my
brother to the garden to watch for snakes and listen for thunder.
And after the gift of years,Pretty Girl began to fail and died.She is buried in the mountain.
There are things we cannot explain,things beyond science,like how a man could name a dying dog and
have her rise inside that,somehow,to make it true.
91.How did the writer's mother and brother find the dog?
A.She was brought to their home by a neighbor.
B.She barked to call their attention while they passed by.
C.She wandered into an empty doghouse near their house.
D.She was left in front of their house by her previous owner.
92.Why did the writer's mother and brother initially decide against calling the vet?
A.They didn't have enough money to pay the vet.
B.They thought the dog was too young for treatment.
C.They feared the vet would advise putting the dog down.

93.The writer's mother and brother can be best described as.

Pretty in pink:adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour,yet it is widespread in our
young girls'lives.It is not that pink is imherently bad,but it is sucha timy slice of therinbow and,though it may
celebrate girlhood in one way,it also repeatedly and fimmly blends girls'identity to appearance.Then it presents that
connection,even among two-year-olds,between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence.Looking
around,I despaired at the extreme lack of imagination about girl's lives and interests.
Girls'attraction to pink may seem avoidable,somehow encoded in their DNA,but according to Jo
Paoletti,an associate professor of American Studies,it is not.Children were not color-coded at all until the
early 20th century:in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter,
since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them.What's more,both boys and girls wore what
were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.When nursery colours were introduced,pink was actually
considered the more male colour,a delicate version of red,which was associated with strength.Blue,with its
intimations(暗示)of the Virgin Mary(圣母s玛利亚),constancy and faithfulness,.symbolized femininity(女性
)It was not until the mid-1980s,when enlarged age and sex differences became a dominant children's
marketing strategy,that pink fully came into its own,when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls,part
of what defined them as female,at least for the first few critical years.
I had not realized how profoundly marketing trends influenced our perception of what is natural to
relatives,including our core beliefs about their psychological development.Taking the toddler as an example,
I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children's behaviour:
wrong.It turns out,according to Daniel Cook,a historian of childhood consumerism,that it was popularized
as a marketing trick by clothing manufacturers in the 1930s.
Trade publications counseled department storesth in order to increase sales,they should create a "third
stepping stone”between infant wear and older ki'clothes.It was only after"toddler"(学步的小孩became a
common shoppers'term that it evolved into a broadly d developmental stage.Splitting kids,or adults,into
ever-tinier categories has proved a safe way to boost profits.And one of the casiest ways to cut up a market is to
magnify gender differences-or invent them where they did not previously exist.
98.By saying "it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow"(Line 2,Para.1),the author means pink
A.should not be the only representation of girlhood B.should not be associated with girls'innocence
C.cannot explain girls'lack of imagination
D.cannot influence girls'lives and interests
99.What does the word "encode"in Para 2 refer to?
A.discovered
B.programmed
C.marked
D.sealed
100.We may leamn from Para.4 that department stores were advised to
A.focus on infant wear and older kinds'clothes
B.attach equal importance to different genders
C.classify consumers into smaller groups
D.create some common shoppers'terms

D.For those in charge of school and college admninistrations the benefits are,if anything,clearer.
AB.It can help write lesson plans and worksheets at different levels and in different languages.
AC.This sophistication and creativity worries quite a lot of teachers and schools.
Many have been considering how ChatGPT could change the world,not least schools.Plenty fear the
worst.The college essay has been pronounced dead.ChatGPT is causing an educational "crisis",claims
Inside Higher Ed.Maybe so;but ChatGPT could also be a teacher's friend.
It is easier to see the threat.Users can ask ChatGPT to create a rap about Friedman,and it delivers lines
like:"He was an economist with a unique vision,spitting truth about free markets with precision".
102 New York City public schools,America's largest school district,banned
ChatGPT in January,only to reverse the decision in May.Some universities abroad have banned its use.
"Initially...everybody was thinking that the sky was falling,"says Jonathan Torres,an assistant
professor of English at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.
103 For example,
before ChatGPT came along,an economics teacher might ask pupils to write an essay describing
Keynesianism(凯思斯主义).With ChatGPT as an option,,the teacher might ask the students to assess and
revise the chatbot's response to the same question-a more difficult task.
104 David Harris,president of Union College,a liberal-arts college in New
York state,decided to play around with ChatGPT.He asked it to write a letter announcing that the college
would no longer require the covid-19 booster jab after the spring term.The results were good enough for him
to show examples to each of his senior staff-a letter to students about changing the campus mascot(
