A mathematical analysis of the connections among definitions of English words has uncovered
2、hidden structures that man resembles the way words and their meanings are represented in our minds.“We want to know how the mental vocabulary is represented in the brain,” says Stevan Harnad of the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada.As every word in a dictionary is defined (下定义) in terms of ot
3、hers, the knowledge needed to understand the entire vocabulary is there. Harnads team reasoned that finding this smallest set of words and pinning down its structure might help research on how human brains put language together.The team converted each of four different English dictionaries into a ma
4、thematical structure of linked nodes (节点) known as a graph. Each node in this graph represents a word, which is linked to the other words used to define it so “banana” might be connected to “long”, “bendy”, “yellow”, and “fruit”.But even this tiny set is not the smallest number of words you need to
5、produce the whole dictionary, as many of these words can in turn be fully defined by others in the kernel (核心). Whats more, the kernel has a deeper structure.So what, if anything, can this tell us about how our brains represent words and concepts? To find out the answer, Harnads team looked at data
6、on how children acquire words and found a pattern: as you move in from the full dictionary towards the Kernel, words which have been acquired at a younger age tend to be used more often, and refer to more concrete concepts.But the connection does suggest that our brains may structure language somewh
7、at similarly to a dictionary.Phil Blunsom, at University of Oxford isnt convinced that word meanings can be reduced to a chain of definitions. “Its treating words in such a symbolic fashion that they are going to lose a lot of the meaning.” But Mark Pagel of the University of Reading, UK, expects th
8、e approach to new insights. “This will be most useful in giving us a sense of how our minds structure meaning.” he says.21. The first paragraph serves as _ in the passage.A. a comparison between human brain and a dictionaryB. an introduction to whether your brain works like a dictionaryC. a conclusi
9、on that your brain is just like a dictionaryD. a contradiction that your brain is just like a dictionary22. What does the underlined phrase “pinning down” in Paragraph 3 mean here?A. determining exactly B. fixing firmlyC. explaining simply D. putting formally23. Which of the following statements is
10、true according to the passage?A. Children acquire words and form patterns more easily than adults.B. Many of the words can in turn be fully defined by using its similar words.C. Harnads findings may explain how human brains put language together.D. Our brains may structure language exactly similarly
11、 to a dictionary. BLike a needle climbing up a bathroom scale, the number keeps rising. In 1991, 15% of Americans were obese(肥胖的 by 1999, that proportion had grown to 27%. Youngsters, who should have age and activity on their side, are growing larger as well: 19% of Americans under 17 are obese. Wai
12、stbands have been popping in other western countries too, as physical activity has declined and diets have expanded. By and large, people in the rich world seem to have lost the fight against flab(松弛).Meanwhile, poorer nations have enjoyed some success in their battles against malnutrition and famin
13、e. But, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, it is more a case of being out of the frying pan and into the fire. The most striking example actually in the poor world comes from the Pacific islands, home of the worlds most o
14、bese communities. In 1966, 14% of the men on this island were obese while 100% of men under the age of 30 in 1996 were obese.This increase in weight has been uneven as well as fast. As a result, undernourished and over-nourished people frequently live cheek by jowl(面颊). The mix can even occur within
15、 a single household. A study of families in Indonesia found that nearly 10% contained both the hungry and the fat. This is a mysterious phenomenon, but might have something to do with people of different ages being given different amounts of food to eat.The prospect of heading off these problems is
16、bleak. In many affected countries there are cultural factors to contend with, such as an emphasis on eating large meals together, or on food as a form. of hospitality.Moreover, there is a good measure of disbelief on the part of policymakers that such a problem Could exist in their countries. Add to
17、 that reluctance on the part of governments to spend resources on promoting diet and exercise while starvation is still a real threat, and the result is a recipe for inaction. Unless something is done soon, it might not be possible to turn the clock back.24.The first sentence of the passage most pro
18、bably implies that _.A.many Americans are obsessed with the rising temperature in their bathroomB.more people are overweighed in the United StatesC.people are doing more physical exercises with the help of scalesD.youngsters become taller and healthier thanks to more activities25.As physical exercis
19、e declines and diet expands, _.A.other western countries has been defeated by fatB.obesity has become an epidemic(流行病)of the rich worldC.waistbands begin to be popular in other western countriesD.western countries can no longer fight against obesity26.Of tackling obesity in the poor world, we can le
20、arn from the passage that_A.the matter is so complex as to go beyond our capacityB.no matter what we do, the prospect will always be bleakC.it is starvation, the real threat, that needs to be solvedD.we should take immediate actions before it becomes incurable27.What is the main idea of this passage
21、?A.Obesity is now a global problem that needs tackling.B.The weights increase fast throughout the whole world.C.Obesity and starvation are two main problems in the poor world.D.Obesity has shifted from the rich world to the poor world.CJust how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? T
22、he Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant（执行令）if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the possessions of suspects at the tim
23、e of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be careless if it followed Californias advice. Enough of the implications are recognizable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated
24、 guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by casting away Californias lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone- a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspects purse .The court has ruled that police dont violate the Fourth A
25、mendment when they go through the wallet or pocketbook, of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring ones smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestees reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.
26、 The development of cloud computing, meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.Americans should take steps to protect their digital privacy. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private do
27、cuments to remain private and protected by the Constitutions prohibition on unreasonable searches.As so often is the case, stating that principle doesnt ease the challenge of line-drawing. In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone conte
28、nts. They could still ignore Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while a warrant is pending. The court, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where th
29、ey are entitled to more freedom.But the justices should not swallow Californias argument whole. New, destructive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitutions protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st c
30、entury with the establishment of automobile use as a virtual necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of cars; similarly, they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.28. The Supreme Court, will work out whet
31、her, during an arrest, it is legal to _.A. search for suspects mobile phones without a warrantB. check suspects phone contents without being authorizedC. prevent suspects from deleting their phone contentsD. prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones29. The authors attitude toward Californias
32、argument is one of _.A. tolerance.B. indifferenceC. disapprovalD. cautiousness30. In Paragraph 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that _.A. principles are hard to be clearly expressedB. the court is giving police less room for actionC. phones are used to store sensitive informationD. citizens pri
33、vacy is not effective protected31. Orin Kerrs comparison is quoted to indicate that _.A. the Constitution should be carried out flexiblyB. New technology requires reinterpretation of the ConstitutionC. Californias argument violates principles of the ConstitutionD. Principles of the Constitution shou
34、ld never be changedDGoing to university is supposed to be a mindbroadening experience.That assumption is possibly made in contrast to training for work straight after school. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tubingen, Germany, thought she would try to find out.Her result,
35、however, is not quite what might be expected. It shows that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate postschool years in vocational training for work. However, it is not the case that university broadens
36、 minds. Rather, work seems to narrow them.After studying the early career of 2095 German youngsters, Dr. Golle reached the conclusion.During the period under investigation, Germany had three tracks in its schools: a low one for pupils who would most probably leave school early and enter vocational t
37、raining; a high one for those almost certain to enter university; and an intermediate one, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes.The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits and the other of attitudes. They administ
38、ered both tests twiceonce towards the end of each volunteers time at school, and then again six years later.Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, and it was on these that the researchers focused. Of them, 212 went to university and the remaining 170 chosen for vocational trainin
39、g and a job.When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not apparently changed. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, eitherexcept in one crucial respectth
40、ey had become more responsible.That sounds like a good thing, compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of pampered layabouts(娇生惯养的闲人). But changes in attitude the researchers recorded were more worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who ha
41、d chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature.And that might restrict their choice of careers. Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed off limits to the degreeless.But many, particul
42、arly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers, financesector workers and entrepreneurs as careers requiring these attributes.If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany p
43、rides itself on are narrowing peoples choices, that is indeed a matter of concern.32. Compared with students going to university, those choosing the vocational route _A. show more changes in their attitudes B. find it more difficult to land suitable jobsC. are more interested in tasks related to sci
44、ence D. are more responsible and do their work better33. The underlined word “detectable” in Para.9 can be replaced by “_”A. desirable B. predictable C. noticeable D. changeable34. In Para.1, the writer described the work of the fourth optician in a(n) _ tone.A. ironic B. straightforward C. critical
45、 D. approving35. Why did the writer cry in the Walmart?A. Because she found it hard to educate her daughter.B. Because she felt she could have done in a better way.C. Because she strongly felt a sense of failure as a mother.D. Because she felt it a shame to be watched by so many customers.第二节（共5小题；每

High schools are arguing that 40 hours of community service are needed to graduate, but many upset stud
47、ents are voicing protests(反对) to this demand. Supporters of the community service project argue that while high school students are participating in community service, they will become better aware of what the real world is like. Students will learn valuable life lesson by doing community service. _
48、 36_ They feel that if high school students are forced to do community service they will begin to see it as a punishment and as something that they have to do because it is required instead of something that they want to do. Students will in the future look back at the community service projects tha
49、t they were forced to do throughout high school. _ 37 _ Another idea that the protestors give about this community service issue is time restriction. When a student goes to school full time, he is involved in after-class activities and also works. _ 38 _ Supporters argue back that high school studen
50、ts only need to fulfill 40hours of community service throughout 4 years. If students well manage their time and start the community service in their first year in high school, all they need to do is an hour every other week. _ 39_ The protestors argue that high school students do not have their driv
51、ers license, so how are they expected to get to their community service site when their parents or friends are at work or just too busy to give them a ride. _ 40_ .The supporters argue that students can find community service projects close to home or if they live in the country find another student
52、 to car pool with. In my opinion, community service is a wonderful thing that everyone should be required to do at some point in their life, but are high school students mature and responsible enough to take on community service projects at this stage in their life? A. Protestors have struck back wi
53、th a very solid argument.B. A final controversial issue that appears is transportation.C. Students will feel good about themselves for helping others in need.D. They will continue to carry a negative attitude towards community service for their lifetime.E. Both sides have solid arguments about why c
54、ommunity service should or should not be forced upon students. F. Unless the school offers a means of transportation for the students there really is no solution to this problem.G. The time that is needed to participate in a community service project may place quite a burden on the student.第三部分 英语知识
