Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cow
29、s, cars and refrigerator, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020
30、. Specific BenefitsThe IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their
31、 homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. Some fearsSome critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having T
32、witter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last years smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator o
33、r washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software thats outdated. A Positive Example Early this year, owner of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat b
34、ack while the company performed an “ over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the cars touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required!Perhaps Teslas remote fix is a sign of things to come. Som
35、eday soon, peoples lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT. 51. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking? A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors. B. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT. C. By connecting sensors
36、 with them and appointing them unique IP addresses. D. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data. 52. What else do critics worry about the IoT besides its probably ending up being a fashion? A. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not. B. R
37、efrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years. C. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last years smartphone. D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly. 53. According to the passage, when owners of the Tels
38、a Model S electric received a recall notice, they _. A. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company. B. were required to go to the nearest 4s store to make some adjustments or repairs. C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixe
39、d. D. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update. BAPOOR *bear comes to the UK, bringing only a red hat, a suitcase, a sandwich, and jars of marmalade (果酱) with him. Heading straight to a major London train station, he sits on his suitcase and stops passers-by
40、 from time to time in the hope of finding a free home.This is how Paddington Bear, the main character of the UK animated movie Paddington, is introduced to audiences (观众). On March 3, during Prince Williams visit to China, he attended the Chinese premiere (首演) of the film in Shanghai.“Many Britons w
41、ere raised on tales of Paddington, the second-best-known bear in fiction after Winnie the Pooh,” The Economist noted. While Winnie the Pooh reminds people of the innocence (单纯) and simplicity of the past, “the well-meaning (善意的) Paddington always causes chaos (混乱) when he goes through cultural misun
42、derstandings”.The movie, described as “a total delight, as warm and welcome as a hot pair of socks on a winter morning” by The Telegraph, tells the story of the bear, who is sent to London by his family, after an earthquake destroys their home in Peru. At Paddington station, he meets Mr Brown, Mrs B
43、rown and their two kids. The Brown family name him Paddington, because they cant say his Peruvian name. After the fuzzy (毛茸茸的) stranger enters the Browns home, he teaches everyone how to laugh and love. In the end, Mr Brown says that “even if hes from a different species, hes still family”.As Phoeni
44、x magazine put it, “The story shows British compassion (同情心) and kindness”, as the refugee Paddington is given a new home and a loving family in London.Released at a time when immigration is a hot topic in the UK, “Paddington has a very clear message: Welcome the other into your home”, The Philadelp
45、hia Inquirer noted.And Paddington Bear is also a great example of the traditional politeness that British people are well known for. For example, Paddington Bear calls people “Mr”, “Mrs” and “Miss”, rarely using their first names. He also loves making small talk with people. For instance, Paddington
46、 often has polite conversations about unimportant things with people like his housekeeper.54. Which of the following statements about Paddington Bear is TRUE?A. He is saved by the Brown family from an earthquake in Peru.B. With the help of the Brown family, he learns how to laugh and love.C. He is t
47、raditional and prefers to greet strangers using their first names.D. As an immigrant to the UK, he experiences many cultural misunderstandings.55. Which of the following words best describe the qualities of Paddington Bear?A. Kind and polite. B. Innocent and unintelligent.C. Humorous and optimistic.
48、 D. Honest and straightforward.56. We can infer from the article that _.A. the tales of Paddington have reminded British people to be kind to those who immigrate to the UKB. at the time when the Paddington stories were released, immigrants were not welcomed in the UKC. the Paddington stories once en
49、couraged a large number of Germans to go to the UKD. Paddingtons British habit of making “small talk” helped to enrich the German language57. According to the last paragraph, “small talk” probably means _.A. polite greetings to unfamiliar peopleB. conversation about unimportant thingsC. conversation
50、 about other peoples private livesD. arguments between close friendsCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes befor
51、e they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and
52、 dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑)early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(固守己见的).Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind hav
53、e long been scientists concerns. But brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predict
54、ing peoples success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how ones ability to handle stress, for instance, affects th
55、e ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the elements for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally t
56、aken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.58. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that _. A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment B. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success C. candy can be used to measure a persons emotional intelligenc
57、e D. emotional intelligence wont show up until adolescence59. Which of the following is True of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a persons IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work togeth
58、er. D. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either60. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. excited B. floating C. kind D. optimistic 61. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Examples showing the opposite voice
59、about EQ. B. Strong demand for basic emotional education. C. Information about famous people with high EQ.D. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field. DBritish writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles,
60、 and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflic
61、t, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous st
62、yle.Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.Bunyans s
63、tyle was modeled after that of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.Bunyans wo
64、rks include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrims Progress (1684). The Pilgrims Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian
65、doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor life as a journey is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are
66、homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for s
67、torytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive. “The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrims Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible.
68、 When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with
69、a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made bet
70、ter progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tri
71、ed and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they get away and reach the Celestial City, where they
72、 enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.62. What are the main characteristics of Bunyans works? The languages are concrete and living. The stories are carefully and vividly described.

76、小题，满分10分）认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最适当的单词。注意：每空一个单词。 Definitions of literature have varied over time, in fact, it is a “culturally relative definition”, once in Western Europe, literature indicated all books and writing. During the Romantic period, it began to refer to “imagianative” literature,
77、Nowadays literature is seen as a term used to describe written or spoken material, including all the following.Poetry uses rhythmic qualities of language to bring out meanings in addition to, or in place of, unimaginative surface meaning, Poetry has traditionally been distinguished from prose by its
78、 being set inverse(颠倒)；prose is cast in sentence, poetry in line.Novel is typically written in a narrative (叙事) style and presented as a book. Novels tell stories, in which the characters and events are usually imaginary. The novel has been a part of human culture for over a thousand years, although
79、 its origins are somewhat debated. Regardless of how it began, the novel has remained one of the most popular and treasured examples of human culture and writing. It remains an essential part of the literary cultures of nearly all societies around the world.Novella is classified as “Too short to be
80、a novel，too long to be a short story”. There is no precise definition in terms of word or page count. Literary prizes and publishing houses often have their own arbitrary limits, which vary according to their particular intentions.A short story is different from novels or novellas in that the plot i
81、s usually tied to one single chain of events. Because the reader must identify with a character quickly to become engaged, the tale is often told from the chief characters point of view.A drama refers to a play for the theatre，television or radio. It generally consists of chiefly dialogue between ch
82、aracters. It also uses dance to convey their message. Dramas usually aim at dramatic performance rather than at reading. In theater, a drama is presented by actors to an audience.Good literary works depend on literary techniques. A literary technique can be used by authors in order to improve the wr
83、itten framework of a piece of literature, and produce specific effects.Literary techniques include a wide range of approaches to crafting a work. The ability to let readers know what might happen in the future in an indirect way is possible through the technique foreshadowing(伏笔). The practice of re
