17、each blank.（1*6=6）Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is going to experience（25）_ unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer（锁止器）, and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that（26）_ the thief switches the engine
18、off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicles engi

He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a

But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal,（28）_ their engine management computer wont allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed（发射）out by the ignition（点火）key.

And key theft is responsible for 40% of thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 metres with
22、out the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to anoperation centre（30）_ it has been stolen.

24、sslessG. humbleH. illustrationsAsk most people how they define the American Dream and chances are that theyll say. “Success.” The dream of individual opportunity has been present in America since Europeans discovered a “new world” in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de C
25、revecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing descriptions of a _31_ society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers; in Letters from an American Farmer（1782）he wrote, “We are all
26、 excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered（无拘无束）and unrestrained, because each person works for himself We have no princes, for whom we labor, starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world.” The promise of a land where “the rewards of a mans _32_ follow”
27、 drew poor immigrants from Europe and _33_ national expansion into the western territories.Our national historical story is full of _34_ of the American success story. Theres Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from _35_ origins to become a well-known scie
28、ntist, philosopher, and statesman. In the nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became Americans best-selling author with his rags-to-riches tales. The _36_ for success haunts（萦绕于）us: we spend millions every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to “ma
29、ke a fortune in real estate with no money down,” and “dressing for success.” The myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships: today its as important to be “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business.But dreams can easily turn into nightmares. Every
30、 American who hopes to “make it” also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success _37_ implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe in the fundamental equality of all, yet striv
31、e as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens.III. Reading Comprehension（41.5）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.（1*25=25）（A）You
32、can actually catch a good mood or a bad mood from your friends, according to a recent study in the journal Royal Society Open Science. But that shouldnt stop you from（38）_ with pals who are frustrated, say the study authors:（39）_, the effect isnt large enough to push you into depression.The new stud
33、y adds to a growing body of research suggesting that happiness and sadnessas well as lifestyle and behavioral factors like smoking, drinking, obesity, fitness habits and even the ability to concentratecan（40）_ across social networks, both online and in real life. But while many（41）_ studies have onl
34、y looked at friendship data at one point in time, this is one of the few that measured social and mood changes over time.The new research involved groups of junior-high and high-school students who took part in（42）_ screenings（筛查）and answered questions about their best friends, many of whom were als
35、o enrolled in the study. In total, 2,194 students were included in the（43）_, which used a mathematical model to look for connections among friend networks.Overall, kids whose friends suffered from bad moods were more（44）_ to report bad moods themselvesand they were less likely to have improved when
36、they were screened again six months to a year later. When people had more happy friends,（45）_ their moods were more likely to improve over time.Some symptoms related to depressionlike helplessness, tiredness and loss of interestalso seemed to follow this（46）_, which scientists call “social contagion
37、.” But this isnt something that people need to（47）_, says lead author Robert Eyre, a doctoral student at the University of Warwick. Rather, its likely just a “normal empathetic response that were all familiar with, and something we recognize by common sense,” he says. In other words, when a friend i
38、s going through a rough patch, it makes sense that youll feel some of their depression, and its certainly not a reason to stay away.38. A. keeping upB. making offC. hanging outD. taking off39. A.

40、B. look forC. rely onD. put forward（B）Several recent cases of violence against students at U.S. colleges have made global headlines, causing questions about the safety of Americas campuses. Yet statistics from the U.S. government show that the number of crimes reported at colleges and universities a
41、ctually decreased in recent years.（48）_, most colleges have stepped up security measures, employing new technology and（49）_ services to increase campus safety.At New York University, the Safe Ride van service is a routine part of college life. Dana Reszutek used the service at night to travel betwee
42、n campus buildings, which are staffed with security guards for additional（50）_. One night, when a stranger followed Reszutek to her residence hall, he was stopped by the guard. “I wasnt harmed or touched,” she said. “Its（51）_ like these that show how high a level of importance safety is to NYU.”The
43、most recent campus-security trend is probably the introduction of mobile safety apps, which enable students to（52）_ panic buttons, spread their GPS locations or even turn their smartphones into（53）_ devices soothers can see whats happening. LiveSafe helps students（54）_ information with each other an
44、d with law-enforcement officers. Its SafeWalk feature allows students friends to（55）_ walk them home by watching their progress on a map. “Its a great way to increase communication about safety and to break down barriers between students as they（56）_ for one another,” its developer said.Since most s
45、tudents are never without their smartphones, some feel mobile apps provide better security than the blue-light emergency call boxes dotting most campuses. Yet Thomas Clark, a lieutenant in Western Illinois Universitys Public Safety Office, said the boxeswhich connect callers to emergency respondersp
46、rovide an important “（57）_ layer of protection.”Its also important for students to take responsibility for their own safety. Becoming familiar with local neighborhoods and campus services are key. In safety tips posted online, many universities and campus police departments emphasize alertness and b
47、asic safeguards such as traveling in groups and familiarizing yourself with your（58）_.Personal-safety expert David Nance says the most. important thing students can do is to be（59）_ which means not being distracted by smartphones or other devices. He also recommends learning（60）_ techniques, knowing

53、5）（A）School children around the world are being exposed on a daily basis to cigarette advertising and promotions by a tobacco industry that needs to recruit the young to maintain its vast profits.A major investigation in more than 22 countries across four continents by campaigners and experts has fo
54、und cigarettes or promotions on display close to sweets, drinks or stationery in shops just outside schools, and often at the eye line of children.The Campaign for Tobacco-Free kids analyzed reports since 2014 carried out by a range of public health groups, NGO and Johns Hopkins University.Marlboro
55、cigarettes made by Philip Morris and British American Tobacco brands such as Pall Mall, Kent, Dunhill and Lucky Strike were being sold and promoted within 300 meters or closer to schools in nearly all the countries researchers examined in a series of studies.Brands made by Japan Tobacco and Imperial
56、 were seen near schools in a smaller number.In Peru, Guardian correspondents saw single sticks apparently for sale in corner shops near schools in flavors attractive to children. In Indonesia they saw banner ads above stalls near a primary school. In India, they saw simple cigarettes and tiny packet
57、s of chewing tobacco for sale alongside sweets directly opposite school gates. Big Tobacco denies promoting its products to children; Philip Morris International（PMI）said its observes relevant regulations.

72、a TV program（C）Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the dramatic decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader
73、 under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to
74、 marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint wa
75、s dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even tho
76、se reviews who wore（展示）their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling（使命）, and were proud to be published in the daily press. So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to
77、 keep their own end up in journalism, Newman wrote “that I am tempted to define” journalism “as a term of contempt（轻蔑）applied by writers who are not read to writers who are”.Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until sh
78、ortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime,though, he was also one of Englands foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography（1947）became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the f
79、irst music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. Is there any chance that Carduss criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and
80、 postmodern readers have little use for the richly polished Vicwardian（维多利亚和爱德华时代）prose in which he specialized. Moreover, the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.70. It is indicated in Paragraphs l and 2 thatA. arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.B.
81、 English-language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews.C. high-quality newspapers retain a large body of readers.D. young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies.71. Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized by:A. free themes.B. casual style.C. elaborate

It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.C. Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.D. Not all writers are capable of journalist

His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.C. His style caters largely to modern specialists.D. His writings fail to follow the amateur tradit
