caused a disturbance on a Hong Kong subway The reason Eating in public In Hong Kong it is 31 to eat on the subway and when the tourist was scolded by a Hong Kong local the situation escalated 升级 into a verbal slinging match In New York City eating on the subway is also controversial No law bans the practice but a Democratic state senator 参议员 introduced one last week The 32 law would ban eating on the subway system and 33 first time violators 250 1 579 yuan according to the New York Times Proponents of the bill argue that eating on the subway attracts rats Others say the broader target should be litterbugs rather than those who carefully sip their coffee and eat their bread on the way to work They also argue that street food is an important part of New York s culture and history Banning its 34 in public areas such as the subway would have negative effects Street food and eating in public places is a deep rooted cultural practice in cities as diverse as New York Beijing and Paris While 35 it has been traditionally thought of as the behavior of the lower classes Eating in public was and in some places still is associated with 36 poorer people In the 19th century eating in

gentlemen It was something people in the Victorian era did not want to 38 A recent New York Times article drew a link between this moral 39 about street food and concern over the growing populations

traditions and norms of the society and d intimacy and support for members Although we can define the family 43 its functions the emphasis given to each of them varies widely both geographically and 44 For example in nineteenth century America people married mainly to have children Today emotional support among family members has now become the dominant function of the family and the family has become an economic unit for consumption rather than for 45 In recent years social scientists have discovered important 46 in family types such as the single parent family and the nuclear family fixed within a network of kin 亲戚 American families also 47 according to social class A couple s social class affects the number of children they will decide to have if any and also the likelihood of 48 to the family because of illness death or divorce Social class also influences the amount of stress a marriage is likely to undergo and the way parents raise their children 49 the extent to which American families now differ by 50 appears to be much less than it was fifty years ago The American family has been 51 in a number of ways over the past few decades Many people are marrying later having children later and having fewer children or none at all These social changes have 52 diverse household patterns including single person households and childless couples Role changes are also occurring as both partners pursue 53 and share family responsibilities Many innovative family arrangements are attempts to enhance the commitment of marriage while increasing individual freedom and

dealing with C worrying about D getting rid of 55 A sociable B available C extensive D natural Section B Directions Read the following three passages Each passage is followed by 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 The Hawthorne experiment was conducted in the late 1920s and early 1930s The management of Western Electric s Hawthorne plant located near Chicago wanted to find out if environmental factors such as lighting could affect workers productivity and morale A team of social scientists experimented with a small group of employees who were set apart from their coworkers The environmental conditions of this group s work area were controlled and the subjects themselves were closely observed To the great surprise of the researchers the productivity of these workers increased in response to any change in their environmental conditions The rate of work increased even when the changes such as a sharp decrease in the level of light in the workplace seemed unlikely to have such an effect It was concluded that the presence of the observers had caused the workers in the experimental group to feel special As a result the employees came to know and trust one another and they developed a strong belief in the importance of their job The researchers believed that this not the changes in the work environment accounted for the increased productivity A later reanalysis of the study data challenged the Hawthorne conclusions on the grounds that the changes in patterns of human relations considered so important by the original researchers were never measured However even if the original conclusions must be revised they nonetheless raise a problem for social scientists Research subjects who know they are being studied can change their behavior Throughout the social sciences this phenomenon has come to be called the Hawthorne effect 56 The author implies that a sharp decrease in light increased workers output because A the workers experienced less eyestrain in a dark working place B the workers had to pay more attention to what they were doing C the workers knew they were being observed and this motivated them D the workers in the experiment were paid more than other workers 57 The pattern of organization of the second paragraph is A list of items B time order C definition and example D cause and effect 58 The Hawthorne experiment suggests that A workers attitudes are more important than their environment B social scientists are good workers C productivity in electric plants tends to be low D even those who were not in the experiment improved their productivity 59 The author s main purpose is A to explain the Hawthorne effect B to prove the importance of research C to amuse with a surprising experiment D to suggest ideas for future research B Join IMDb and Become a Founding Supporter of the Academy Museum of Museum of Motion Pictures The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts it does not exist naturally A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts neither is much more than a solid mass of matter For a bird looking for an object on which to rest a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology they provide cases in which well planned systems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right Since technology is a human creation we are responsible for what is done with it Pessimists worry that we will use out technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces But they have been saying this for decades and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain Clearly the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do There are those who assert that the switch to an information based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones particularly the Industrial Revolution Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution we find that it was not the machines The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change It gave rise to mass production and through mass production to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few In somewhat similar fashion computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society 63 Why does the author give the examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl A To show that technology could be used to destroy our world B To stress the author s concern about the safety of complex technology C To prove that technology usually goes wrong if not controlled by man D To demonstrate that being a human creation technology is likely to make an error 64 What does the phrase went haywire in paragraph 2 most probably mean A were out of range B went out of date C fell out of use D got out of control 65 According to the author the introduction of the computer is a revolution mainly because A the computer has revolutionized the workings of the human mind B the computer can do the tasks that could only be done by people before C it has helped to switch to an information technology D it has a great potential impact on society 66 In the passage the author clearly shows his A keen insight into the nature of technology B sharp criticism of the role of the Industrial Revolution C thorough analysis of the replacement of the human mind by computers D comprehensive description of the negative consequences of technology Section C Directions Read the passage carefully 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 need A Keep an eye on your storage media B Organization makes it easy to find your stuff later C Write down where you have important files D Would you care if this was deleted tomorrow E Remember something is better than nothing F Preserve your digital memories now before it s too late How to Keep Your Digital Memorials Safe Do you value your digital stuff Nearly everyone is creating things with computers and some do it without any concern for its value Others recognize its current value but think little about what it could mean to them in the future and either aren t aware or don t think that all of it could be destroyed tomorrow But hard drives die all the time and the online services into which people sink their time close with alarming regularity taking the work of millions of people with it 67 Steps 1 Prepare to make a quick backup If nothing else get a cheap USB stick and drag and drop your documents folder onto it Worry about the other things later You should do more than this but it s most important to take the most valuable irreplaceable information from your hard drive and put it on a second medium to guard against hard drive failure theft or loss 2 Decide what you value Some questions to ask yourself are How replaceable is this data How good are you at assessing the value of items 68 For things like business accounts and documents the answer is of course you would This kind of thing should be your first priority 3 Start making backups 69 Diminishing returns 效益递减 apply in backups as they do with everything else The cheapest and simplest backup methods take care of an overwhelming majority of likely loss of stuff Over complicating your backup strategy is the biggest trap the more complicated and expensive you insist on making it the less likely you are to do it 4 70 If one of your backup drives fails replace it immediately Remember that all storage devices eventually become obsolete 陈旧的 If you have valuable files on obsolete media those files become increasingly difficult to access with every passing year So in order to keep your files accessible remember to migrate your collection to new storage media periodically IV Summary Writing Direction Read the following
