primary school classroom two boys aged 11 took an examination called the 11 plus 21 would make decisions about the rest of their lives Paul passed and went to a grammar school Baz failed the examination and went to a secondary modern school They did not see each other again for years Many grammar schools 22 establish hundreds of years ago to teach the Latin language to children who were not from rich families They encouraged students to study 23 they were 18 and then to go to university Secondary modern school students left at 16 usually with fewer qualifications than grammar school students Baz says the secondary modern school had 24 few resources and the quality of teaching was not as good Things have changed In the 1960s and the 1970s comprehensive schools were created Today 90 percent children aged 11 to 16 from the same area to the same school without 25 take any entry examination The British often disagrees about the best way 26 educate their children Many people say that comprehensive schools help more children to succeed because they provide everybody 27 similar opportunities in a fairer way Another view though is that more intelligent children especially 28 from poor homes are better supported at grammar schools Now the government plans to open new grammar schools 29 almost two million children will go to the same type of school that Paul attended And Paul and Baz Aged 60 they met again and compared 30 had happened to them After university Paul qualified as a teacher Baz went to work in a factory at 16 and later became an engineer In fact Baz had a

3 页 共 9 页 There s nothing more annoying than settling down to sleep and hearing the sound of a mosquito buzzing around you The only thought most of us ever give to this noise is I need to get rid of this insect immediately but it turns out that the mosquito is actually quite a n 31 creature A term of scientists from Oxford University in the UK in 32 with the Royal Veterinary College in London and Chiba University in Japan recently published a study that found some interesting facts about the world s most 33 insect By placing eight cameras inside a tiny film studio the scientists could study several mosquitoes up close The high tech cameras filmed the insects at 1 000 frames per second meaning the scientists were able to study the insects 34 in never before seen detail However it wasn t always straightforward Recording mosquitoes during free flight represented a huge technical challenge due to their small size 35 wing beat frequency and the presence of large antennae and legs that can 36 the view of their wings Simon Walker of Oxford University co author of the study wrote Published in the journal Nature the study found that mosquitoes flap their wings around 800 times a second As a 37 house flies flap their wings about 200 times a second and hummingbirds 50 times a second Richard Bomphrey of the Royal Veterinary College the study s leader believes that mosquitoes have a unique flying method that sets them apart from other flying insects We predicted that they must make use of clever tricks as the wings 38 their direction at the end of each half stroke he wrote in the study Hopefully the discovery of the mosquito s special abilities will be of benefit to engineers in the future The findings could lead to better aircraft or even improvement to tools like lenses or pumps But the scientists hope their study can one day be 39 to new developments in more human focused use The more we know about mosquitoes the better our chance of understanding their flight behavior how they carry disease and 40 how to stop them from doing so Walker wrote III Reading Comprehension Section A Artists have long claimed alcohol and other drugs as inspiration for their creativity But is there really a n 41 between intoxication 醉酒 and inspiration A recent study published in Consciousness and Cognition explored the effects of moderate drunkenness on people s creativity The authors suggest that alcohol s well known effect in 42 executive function may be helpful for these types of creation problems Sometimes a reduced ability to 43 one s attention can have positive implications for select cognitive tasks they write The findings raise the question of whether drugs that 44 attention and focus in particular stimulants 兴奋剂 would have the opposite effect on creative thinking 45 very little research has been done on the issue and what results exist so far have been mixed The outcomes may well vary according to individual 46 to the drugs 47 some research has found that while stimulants can 48 test performance for those who are less intelligent for the smartest folks the drugs can have the opposite effect If less executive function is linked to more creativity this may also explain why artists writers and musicians appear to be more 49 to have an addiction Perhaps creative people are more likely than others to be 50 to drugs in the first place as a possible source of inspiration And then if reduced executive function is 51 in part for their initial talent this too could make them more easily influenced by 52 once they start using Having less executive control before you even take drugs means you ll have less ability to stop once you start 第 4 页 共 9 页 Whatever the real relationship between drunkenness addiction and art the authors 53 that their study

change in corporate competitiveness Companies both born in the digital era and traditional world are showing off their skills in data science Therefore it seems to have been creating a great demand for the experts of this type Mr Carlos Guestrin machine learning professor from University of Washington argues that all software applications will need inbuilt intelligence within five years making data scientists people trained to analyze large bodies of information key workers in this emerging cognitive technology economy There are already critical applications that depend on machine learning a subfield of data science led by recommendation programs fraud detection systems forecasting tools and applications for predicting customer behavior Many companies that are born digital particularly internet companies that have a great number of real time customer interactions to handle are all in when it comes to data science Pinterest for instance maintains more than 100 machine learning models that could be applied to different classes of problems and it constantly fields requests from managers eager to use this resource to deal with their business problem The factors weighing on many traditional companies will be the high cost of mounting a serious machine learning operation Netflix is estimated to spend 150m a year on a single application and the total bill is probably four times that once all its uses of the technology are taken into account Another problem for many non technology companies is talent Of the computer science experts who use Kaggle only about 1 000 have deep learning skills compared to 100 000 who can apply other machine learning techniques says Mr Goldbloom He adds that even some big companies of this type are often reluctant to expand their pay scales to hire the top talent in this field The biggest barrier to adapting to the coming era of smart applications however is likely to be cultural Some companies such as General Electric have been building their own Silicon Valley presence to attract and develop the digital skills they will need Despite the obstacles some may master this difficult transition But companies that were built from the beginning with data science at their center are likely to represent serious competition 63 Which one is obstacle for many traditional companies to popularize learning operation A Technological problem B Expert crisis C High cost D Customer interactions 64 What can not be inferred from the passage about the machine learning A Machine learning operations are costly in Netflix B Machine learning plays an important role in existent applications 第 7 页 共 9 页 C Machine learning experts are not highly paid in some non technology companies D Machine learning models are not sufficient to solve business problems in Pinterest 65 What s the author s main purpose in writing this article A To point out the problems facing machine learning experts B To call on companies to cultivate more experts in data science C To tell the readers the present situation of data science D To advice non technology companies to look beyond the advantages they face 66 Which of the following is the best title for this passage A Data science A forefront force in tech business B Corporate competition An obstacle to the transition C Machine learning A key to smart technology D Technique experts A decisive factor of the coming era Section C A Therefor it would be advisable to remain thoughtful of how you conduct yourself and deal with others around you B State out right that you ant to get along C In other words

E You can only change how you interact with people you can not change them F So it is better to listen to what the conversation is about before speaking There are a lot of different people in the world but despite our differences we all want to get along Humans are social beings and we enjoy being treated nicely 67 It is about treating people with respect and care Be a good listener To start a conversation it is important to listen first especially when you are in a group Don t indulge 放纵 yourself in instant chant when you have just arrived Examine the situation and the conversation and
