37、from London is really 25-years-old? Is his profile picture recent? Does he really have a puppy? Is his name even Ben? One thing you cant cheat is your genetics, which is why a new dating app is using DNA compatibility（兼容性）as a basis for its matchmaking algorithm（算法）. Pheramor requires all users to s
38、ubmit a cheek swab using a specially-created kit from which a team of in-house scientists can sequence the specific genes associated with attraction and identify which users might be sexually compatible. The process works by isolating the 11 genes that link to our pheromones, the chemical signals th
39、at are believed to trigger sexual attraction. Combining this data with the personal information stated on users profiles allows the app to make very specific matches. Pheramor uses both your biology and your social technology; we collect your genetic data through a q-tip-like cheek swab and acquire
40、your like, dislikes, and interests from your social media profiles like Facebook, Twitter, etc,” the apps website explains, All of this information will be used in our proprietary algorithm, which is designed to learn your preferences.”The Houston-based app is already up and running but hopes to off

When we smell pheromones, what were actually smelling is how diverse someones immune system is compared to our own,” explains co-founder Brittany Barreto, who has a PHD in genetics, Evolution is very strong. So were smelling each other, trying to figure
42、 out who is the best person to mate with,” she told the Houston Chronicle. She added that Pheramors advanced technology digs deeper than traditional dating apps by moving past the basic info listed on most profiles, making it almost impossible for people to cheat their way to a date.

46、lush when they drink alcohol? This effect is a common reaction to alcohol among East Asians. It affects about 36 percent of Japanese, Chinese and Koreans.For many, even a small amount of alcohol can cause unpleasant effects. Most commonly, their face, neck and sometimes their whole body turn red. Pe
47、ople might also feel uncomfortable and sick to their stomach. They might experience a burning sensation(感觉), increased heart rate, shortness of breath and headaches.The cause is a genetic difference that they are born with called an ALDH2 deficiency(缺乏). It prevents their bodies from treating alcoho
48、l the way other people do. But the effects might be more serious than just a red face. Researchers warn of a link between this condition and an increased risk of cancer of the esophagus(食道) from drinking alcohol.The more alcohol people with this deficiency drink, the greater their risk is. In Japan
49、and South Korea, for example, many people have the deficiency but still drink heavily. Researchers have found that these drinkers develop a form of esophageal cancer six to ten times more often than those without the deficiency.Esophageal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers. It can be treated whe
50、n found early, but once it grows the chances of survival drop sharply. The researchers estimate that at least five hundred forty million people have the deficiency, about eight percent of the worlds population.Philip Brooks is a researcher at the National Institute in the United States. He says it i
51、s important to educate people about the link between the alcohol flushing effect and esophageal cancer. He says doctors should ask East Asian patients about their experiences with facial flushing after drinking alcohol. Those with a history of it should be advised to limit their alcohol use. They sh
52、ould also be warned that cigarette smoking works with the alcohol in a way that further increases the risk of esophageal cancer.61. The underlined word “flush” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. walk unsteadily B. turn red in the faceC. appear unpleasant D. talk more than usual62. The second parag

54、arlyC. it is hard to cure once it has developed D. people are addicted to alcohol64. We can infer from the passage that _.A. only some East Asians have the ALDH2 deficiencyB. about 36 percent of Japanese, Chinese and Koreans are heavy drinkersC. unpleasant effects occur only when people with this de
55、ficiency drink a lotD. the ALDH2 deficiency may be passed on from generation to generationDWhen Oscar Pistorius was convicted (证明有罪的)murder last month, the judge described the case as a “human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions”. The Paralympic athletes fall from grace made this comparison appropr
56、iate: overcoming severe disability to reach “Olympian heights”, falling in love with a beautiful model, and, in a coincidence that wouldnt be out of place in one of the plays, taking her life on Valentines Day. Mr. Pistoriuss tragic flaw was that he was an excessive paranoia（偏执狂）, which showed itsel
57、f in an enthusiasm for guns.Mr. Pistoriuss case is, indeed, peculiarly Shakespearean. But Justice Eric Leach, who delivered the judgment, is but one of those who have turned to the playwright in times of legal need. In 2012, Britains High Court quoted “King Lear” in a trial regarding a “threatening”
58、 joke on Twitter they eventually overturned a conviction on the grounds that social-media users “are free to speak not what they ought to say, but what they feel”. A choice snippet of “Hamlet” (“a little patch of ground that hath no profit in it but the name”) was quoted in a 2008 boundary dispute.
59、“Henry VIII” was called forth by Senator Sam Ervin Jr during the Watergate hearings. The condemnation of Dzokhar Tsarnaev, involved in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, was sealed with lines from “Julius Caesar”: “the evil that men do lives after them; the good is often buried with their bones.”Law
60、yers love of Shakespeare is appropriate given that more of his lines are devoted to discussing law than any other profession. Some think his knowledge of the law was so detailed that the “real” Shakespeare must have been a lawyer. A study by Scott Dodson and Ami Dodson published last year set out to
61、 discover “the most literary justice” of those currently sitting(开庭), and which authors were regularly turned to for quotable wisdom. The “most abundant citer and the widest read” was found to be Antonin Scalia, and no surprise William Shakespeare topped the list of the often-quoted, along with Lewi
62、s Carroll. Both Shakespeare and Carroll accumulated sixteen references from five justices. Other popular authors among the bench were George Orwell, Charles Dickens, Aldous Huxley and Aesop.The words of Shakespeare are likely to be sounded around courtrooms for decades to come as many universities p
63、articularly in America and Britain have included him in their law courses. Harvard Law School offers a seminar which focuses entirely on “justice and morality in the plays of Shakespeare”. Kings College Londons “Shakespeare and the Law” model is co-taught by the Literature and Law faculties, and exp
64、lores “the role of the law in mediating the place of the individual within society”. There are sensible reasons behind this; the University of Southampton, in line with recent studies, states that it offers the opportunity to study law through a literary prism of Shakespeare, Dickens, Kafka and othe
65、rs in order to “help law students to become more ethically sharp”. A study argues that reading literary fiction makes people show empathy, challenge prejudice, and be more flexible in their decision-making. A literary sensibility enables lawyers to present clear, structured opinions and briefs.But w
66、hat is it about the work of Shakespeare, in particular, that lends itself to legal quotation and reflection? After all, as Robert Peterson pointed out in “The Bard and the Bench”, all 37 of Shakespeares plays have been quoted by American courts, in over 800 judicial opinions. One answer lies in the
67、fact that Shakespeares status embodies high culture; quoting him seeks to invest the judgment with credibility and induce a sense of history. Mr. Peterson notes that this can “drive decisions in authentic ways”. Another option is Shakespeares universality everyone has either read, or claims to have
68、read, plays like “Hamlet”. His works have become globally shared; the term “Shakespearean tragedy” induces a rise-and-fall story even if the listener is not familiar with the works themselves. The horrifying details of Mr. Pistoriuss actions on that night, placed in a familiar Shakespearean frame, h

To explain the guilty of the athlete. C. To show the appropriateness of Shakespeares comparison. D. To high

The quotation from Shakespeare in court will keep up in the following decades. C. The accusation against Twitter was overturned by Brit

74、 Influential Playwright in History第五部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上Is loneliness a health epidemic?In recent decades, researchers have discovered that loneliness left untreated is not just psychically painful; it also can have serious
75、medical consequences. Rigorous epidemiological studies have linked loneliness and social isolation to heart disease, cancer, depression, diabetes and suicide. Vivek Murthy, the former United States surgeon general, has written that loneliness and social isolation are “associated with a reduction in
76、life span similar to that caused by smoking 15 cigarettes a day and even greater than that associated with obesity.”But is loneliness, as many political officials and pundits are warning, a growing “health epidemic” (流行病)？I dont believe so, nor do I believe it helps anyone to describe it that way. S
77、ocial disconnection is a serious matter, yet if we set off a panic over its prevalence (流行) and impact, were less likely to deal with it properly.Anxiety about loneliness is a common feature of modern societies. Today, two major causes of loneliness seem possible. One is that societies throughout th
78、e world have embraced a culture of individualism. More people are living alone, and aging alone, than ever. Neoliberal (新自由主义的) social policies have turned workers into insecure free agents, and when jobs disappear, things fall apart fast. Labor unions, civic associations, neighborhood organizations
79、, religious groups and other traditional sources of social solidarity are in steady decline. Increasingly, we all feel that were on our own.The other possible cause is the rise of communication technology, including smartphones, social media and the internet. A decade ago, companies like Facebook, A
80、pple and Google promised that their products would help create meaningful relationships and communities. Instead, weve used the media system to deepen existing divisions, at both the individual and group levels. We may have thousands of “friends” and “followers” on Facebook and Instagram, but when i
81、t comes to human relationships, it turns out theres no substitute for building them the old-fashioned way, in person.In light of these two trends, its easy to believe were experiencing an “epidemic” of loneliness and isolation. Surprisingly, though, the best data do not actually show a boom in eithe
82、r loneliness or social isolation. Yet the research tells us something more specific. In places like the United States and Britain, its the poor, unemployed, displaced (无家可归的) and migrant populations that are suffering most from loneliness and isolation. Their lives are unstable, and so are their rel
83、ationships. When they get lonely, they are the least able to get adequate social or medical support.Passage outlineSupporting details Research findingLoneliness is likely to cause various kinds of medical consequences unless (71) .

92、es going home. (30 words) Quite a few things give rise to the phenomenon. On one hand, the Internet makes it very convenient for children to keep in touch with their parents, so the Spring Festival is not as important as it was in terms of reunion. On the other hand, high living expenses put great p
93、ressure on some people. So it seems quite worthwhile earning a high income during this period. Also, the crowded journey and expensive tickets make people reluctant to go home. Personally, the Spring Festival is more than a vocation but a tradition we must value and pass down from generation to generation. Every time I go home, I will have a heart-to-heart talk with my parents. I also enjoy the ceremony like making jiaozi and appreciating lanterns. (127 words)
