Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or
unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C cand D.
Choose the best canswer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet
Passage One
It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a silly cartoon: a futurisic traveling tube that can quickly shoot people
wherever they want to go,inside a tiny pod. But this may be just around the
corner for people looking for a faster,casier, and cheaper-than-ever way to
trave.
South African-American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk, who, in the
past, hasworked on both private space flight and electric cars, recently announced he has beenworking on the design of this traveling tube, which could forever change the way wetravel the world.
In an interview, Musk described the new tube as a fifth kind of
transportation."We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats," he
explained.“What if there was a fifthmode? I have a name for it. It's called
the Hyperloop.”
"This system I have in mind..can never crash, is immune to weather, it
goes threeor four times faster than the bullet train..t goes at an average
speed of twice what anaircraft would do, You would go from downtown L.A. to
downtown San Francisco inunder 30 minutes.'
People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods, which are each
just oversix-and-a-half feet across, and the pods would travel through tubes
located cither above: round or under water.
The Hyperloop could even run 24/7, be cheap, and allow people to travel
on their own schedule. People could show up at the Hyperloop station whenever
theywant and be quickly sent on their way.
Additionally Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the
sun-making it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes, or train
systems.Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West
Coasts of the United States in less than an hour, Eventually the Hyperloop
would be able to move people around the world.
Musk is not the first person outside of science fiction novelists to
dream up vacuum tube technology for moving people. The idea has been around
for some time,and inventors in other countries, including China, are
reportedly working on similar technology.

C. It could operate round the clock.
D. It would run at regular intervals.

Passage Two
How are you feeling today? I've got a few aches and pains, but nothing
serious.However, when things become more critical, I would normally book
myself an appointment with my doctor- although by the time I get to see him,
the problem will have probably gone away. That's because in the UK at least,
we usually have to wait a few days before the doctor can fit us in.
Luckily today, technology has come to our rescue. There are thousands of
appsavailable on our smartphones that can offer first aid advice and allow us
to self-diagnose our sickness- -ranging from a simple cold or flu to some
exotic disease.And together with the internet, we have an ocean of medical
information at our fingertips.
But is too much knowledge a good thing? By reading up on an ilness, we
discover its side-ffects and what could happen in a worst-case situation.
More worrying is that we give ourselves the wrong diagnosis, and then worry
ourselves sick that we're going to die. This health anxiety, fueled by the
internet, is called“cyberchondria". It gives sufferers a deep fear of
diseases and, according to experts, it's on the rise. Professor Peter Tyrer
from Imperial College London said,“We find that approximately four out of
five of our patients with health anxiety spend literally hours on the
internet. One of the first things we do in treatment is to tell them to stop
browsing the internet."
A study a few. years ago also found many doctors felt intimidated by the
increasing numbers of web-wise patients arriving in surgeries, One doctor
admitted to not being very happy about patients using the internet, saying:
"They all seemed to come to me with things 'd never heard of and very often
with things which seem rather bizarre or inappropriate."
Of course there is no doubt, the world wide web has most of the
information we need to diagnose our symptoms, but Doctor Tyrer points out,
“it doesn't have any judgment associated with it." This is why having a
consultation with a doctor face-to-face still has its benefits.
It would scem then that a virtual online doctor can prescribe a dose of
useful advice, but technology hasn't replaced the human medical expert just
yet.
在职研教网 www.zzyjs123.com/
26. What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph I?
A. The low efficiency of the healthcare system.
B. The tips for making appointments with doctors.
C. The treatment for common health problems.
D. The critical challenges for general hospitals.
27. Cyberchondria (Para 3)can be defined as .
A. overdependence on the internet for medical advice
B. too much knowledge abour health problems
C. health concerns caused by online information
D. incorrect diagnosis based on web knowledge
28. According to the doctors, cyberchondria
A. can be prevented
B. is not unusual
C. is hard to predict
D. may not last long
29. How do doctors in general feel about web-wise patients?
A. They are surprised at patients' wise use of online information,
B. They are frightened by patients' blind trust of internet information.
C. They are satisfied with patients' suficient knowledge about diseases.
D. They are troubled by patients' excessive search for health information.
30. According to Doctor Tyrer, what is the problem with online medical
information?
A. It is usually not sufficient.
B. It is not always accurate.
C. It fails to give judgment.
D. It provides too much information.
Passage Three
Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with
accusations of various unethical acts over the past decade. They've wasted
tons of food, They've underpaid their suppliers and they've contributed to
excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our
environment.
But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In
response to growing consumer resentment against the huge amounts of plastic
waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK supermarkets
have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic
wastage. In a pledge to reuse, recycle or convert all plastic wastage by 2025,
supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they
play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major
supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their
cwm-brand products by 2023.
In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating
some of their food surplus. However, charities estimate that they are only
accessing two per cent of supermarkets' total food surplus, so this hardly
seems to be solving the problem. Some say that supermarkets are simply not
doing enough. Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked
for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing
surplus food.
Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and
offering consumers a greener option. Shops like Berlin's Original Unverpakt
and London's Bulk Market are plastic-free shops that have opened in recent
years, encouraging customers to use their own containers or convertible bags.
Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk
of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its
customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers the lion's
share of the retail price.
There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food
waste and plastic waste. But perhaps the major supermarkets might take
inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more
sustainable future for us all.
在职研教网 www.zzyjs123.com/

Passage Four
We all know people who say they have "no sense of direction." Yet for
some people that description is true in all circumstances: If they take a
single wrong turn on an established route they often become totally lost.
This happens even when they are just a few miles from where they live.
This condition is called developmental topographic disorientation (DTD),
the inability to orient within the environment. It didn't even have a formal
name until 2009,when Giuseppe laria reported his first case in the journal
Neuropsychologia.
Ellen Rose had been a patient of mine for years before I realized that
she had this life-long learning disability. Like other people with DTD, she
can follow a route in pieces, but it never becomes part of a larger spatial
understanding. That's because she does not have a larger spatial
understanding of her environment.
1 asked her to draw a diagram of the second floor of the house she shares
with her daughter and son-in-law. It was a difficult task for her (she lives
on the first floor but is very familiar with the second). She described her
effort not as a bird looking down from above, but as a spider crawling across
the paper tracing a route from one room to the Ellen has always wondered what
was wrong with her. She knew that when others ascribed her problems to simply
not paying attention they were mistaken She worried that her problems in
traveling might be a sign of something more serious than jut getting lost
easily, but | had no idea what that might be.
Finding out that she had DID was a relief. Knowing that something has a
name can be a liberating experience. All of a sudden it is a thing, a concept
with defining characteristics. It is in a way, a kind of map.
36. What is the relation between Ellen and the author?
A. Student and teacher
B. Subject and researcher
C. Employee and employer
D. Patient and doctor.
37. It can be learned that people with DTD
A.are unable to find their position in an environment
B.Find it difficult to remember where they have been
C.dislike traveling to a faraway place on their own D.are characterized by their inability to concentrate
38. From Ellen's difficulty in drawing her own house, we can infer that
A. observing from high above is more effective than from the bottom
B. common people tend to perceive a space from a bird's eye view
C. it is useful to get familiar with our living environment
D. people with DTD have a poor sense of vision 39. How did Ellen feel about her DTD?
A. She had a clear idea what it was and how to deal with it,
B. She worried that she might misunderstand people around her.
C. She thought she could improve her condition by paying more attention.
D. She was afraid that it might bring problems other than disorientation.
40. The word"map" in the last paragraph probably means"
”
A. cure
B. design
C. proposal
D. clue

Section B
Directions: Im this section, you are required 1o read one quoted blog and the
comments on it. The biog and comments arc followed by questions or unfinished
statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best
answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Face masks are one of the best defenses against the spread of COVID- 19,
but their growing adoption is having a second, unintended effect: breaking
facial recognition algorithms(算法).
Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the
error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to
rise to between 5 percent and 50 percent, a study by the US National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found. Black masks were more
likely to cause errors than blue masks, and the more of the nose covered by
the mask, the harder the algorithms found it to identify the face.
“We need to understand how face recognition technology deals with masked
faces," said the author of the report and NIST computer scientist. "We have
begun by focusing on how an algorithm developed before the pandemic (大流行病)
might be affected by subjects wearing face masks. Later this summer, we plan
to test the accuracy of algorithms that were intentionally developed with
masked faces in mind."
Facial recognition algorithms such as those tested by NIST work by
measuring the distances between features in a target's face. Masks reduce the
accuracy of these algorithms by removing most of these features, although
some still remain. This is slightly, different from how facial recognition
works on iPhones, for example, which use depth sensors for extra security,
ensuring that the algorithms can't be fooled by showing the camera a picture
(a danger that is not present in the scenarios NIST is concerned with).
Comment 1
Well, that's one good thing to come out of the pandemic. Mass sureillance is
nonsense.Time to pair masks up with sunglasses to deliver the decisive stroke.
Comment 2
“Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the
error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to
rise sharply" Rubbish technology! I would've never guessed.
Comment3
There's a reason why some country is already using gait( 步态) analysis.
Facial recognition is too easy to block or to fool.
Comment 4
Pretty soon they are going to do.. .analysis. With the development of AI,
there will be a way out.
Comment 5
The AI's getting better, though, so soon it won't matter. Just like how you
can pick out a relative or close friend even in bad CCTV footage, so too can
AI. Your height, walking gait, mannerisms, voice, ears, clothing, etc, all
add up to YOU.

blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.
The English countryside has a classic image. People imagine that life in the country is slow and calm; that there are no traffic jams, no pollution, and no crime. In some places, this is true; but in
46
it is not.
Small towns and villages are becoming more and more
47 ; people have
more space and most houses have gardens. But problems are 48 . Lots of people
want to live in the country and work in the city; so more and more people travel
49
distances each day, to go to work. Of course they don't use
buses or trains; they use cars. Little villages now have traffic problems in
the morning, just 50
big cities!
The problems are very complicated! If everyone moves into the country, the peace of the countryside will 51

to escape from urban problems; but more and more, they are

their
problems with them. On warm summer days, and cold winter days, air pollution
can be a big problem in large

of the south of England, not just in
London.
Perhaps there is 54
for the future. Soon Britain's population will
stop rising.From about the year 2030, it will perhaps start to fall. In 100
year's time, there will be less people in Britain than today - perhaps two
million less. No doubt there will be

pollution too; oil and petrol
will probably be rare by then.

behaviors unique to 0 person.
Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to
a person, People tend to think of personality as fixed. But according to
psychologists, that's not how it works. Personalityis a developmental
phenomenon. It's not just a static thing that you're stuck with and can't get
over. That's not to say that you're a dfferent person each day you wake up.
In the short term, change can be nearly imperceptible. Longitudinal studies,
in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over
many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable on shorter time
scales.

The benefits and the disadvantages of online learning
In recent years, online learning is springing up as people are developing
an inseparable relationship with the Internet. In fact, there are both
advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, compared with traditional face-to-face courses, acquring
knowledge and having access to information via online learning can be taken
any time. This fexibility is an essential factor for busy students who
wouldn't normally be able to study step by step because of time constrains.
Besides, online learning also brings greater availability to those who need
tilor-made programs in line with their own level and interest.
But on the other hand, learning online has some disadvantages. For
teenagers, it is inappropriate for them to contact the Internet too early.
They are likely to be distracted as there are games or other temptations
available online. What's more, learners with poor learning habits admit that
they are too adicted to the Internet that they can't focus on learning, which
inevitably leads to poor performance.
