18．One hundred years ago，"Colored"was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent．Twenty years later，it was purposefully dropped to make way for"Negro．"By the late 1960s，that term was overtaken by"Black．"And then，at a press conference in Chicago in 1988，Jesse Jackson declared that"African American"was the term to welcome．This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups，such as"Italian Americans"and"Irish Americans，"that had already been freed of widespread discrimination．
A century's worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise．A 2001study cataloged all the ways in which the term"Black"carried connotations （涵义） that were more negative than those of"African American．"
But if it was known that"Black"people were viewed differently from"African Americans，"researchers，until now，hadn't identified what that gap in perception was derived from．A recent study，conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall，found that"Black"people are viewed more negatively than"African Americans"because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status．As a result，"Black"people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities．
The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial discriminations permeating the professional world．Even seemingly harmless details on a CV，it appears，can tap into recruiters'（招聘人员）discriminations．A job application might mention affiliations（关系） with groups such as the"Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers"or the"National Black Employees Association，"the names of which apparently have consequences，and are also beyond their members'control．
In one of the study's experiments，subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams．To one group，he was identified as"African-American，"and another was told he was"Black．"With little else to go on，they were asked to estimate Mr．Williams'salary，professional standing，and educational background．
The"African-American"group estimated that he earned about 37，000ayearandhadatwo-yearcollegedegree．The"Black"group，ontheotherhand，puthissalaryatabout 29，000，and guessed that he had only"some"college experience．Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr．Williams worked at a managerial level，while only 38.5percent of the second group thought so．
Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use"African American，"though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress．Perhaps a new phrase is needed，one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois'original，idealistic hope："It's not the name-it's the Thing that counts．"

59．We can conclude from Erika Hall's findings thatA．
A．Racial discriminations are widespread in the professional world
B．Many applicants don't attend to details on their CVs
C．Job seekers should all be careful-about their affiliations
D．Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases
60．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．Jesse Jackson embraced the term"African American"because it is free from discrimination．
B．The naming of any ethnic （种族） group is political sensitive．
C．Before the study conducted by Erika Hall，researchers had identified the causes of the gap in
perception of racial discrimination．
D．A man identified as"African American"is thought of as more capable than he is identified as"Black"．
61．Erika Hall's experiment about a man with the last name Williams indicates thatC．
A．African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups
B．Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low
C．People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled
D．One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background
62．From the underlined sentences in the last paragraph，we can know that Dr．Du Bois'hope isB．
A．All Americans enjoy equal rights
B．A person is judged by their worth
C．A new term is created to address African Americans
D．All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress．

12．I expect the travel of the future to become less physical，more mental．Through the use of technology，you'll be able to let your brain experience the sensations of a new place without actual going there．Robots and computer simulation（模仿）will enable you to visit remote exotic places without ever leaving home---the wreckage of the Titanic，the Galapagos Island，even the moon．
As an oceanographer，I've spent decades developing robots to explore the depths，and now we're putting that technology to use in our JASON Project，a cooperative effort between industry，science，and educators that's designed to be a world classroom for children．In auditoriums throughout the country，we bring kids together and transmit back to them on large screens our live explorations of far-flung areas of the globe．Not only are the kids observers，but they truly participate．They have the sensation of really being at the site with us---through the"eyes"，"ears"，and motions of the robot．
This year we're taking the project to the Galapagos Islands．The Galapagos are an exceedingly fragile environment，so fragile that only 60，000people are allowed to visit them each year．But with JASON we will be able to let some 300，000children experience those unique islands．
I believe advances in robot technology will one day be the key to an entirely new kind of travel．In the next 10or 15years I foresee people having rooms in their houses that will be able to simulate other environments．I like to call these rooms"home domes"---miniature theatres with wrap-around screens and sophisticated equipment that can reproduce the sights，sounds，smells，and feel of a desert，or a forest，or a meadow in high mountains．
Today，much of the world's population never travels more than 50or 60miles from home．And even a person with abundant wealth and time can see only a fraction of the earth's sights．But this new era of travel will cost so much less in both time and money that many more people will be exposed to a lot more of the globe．And simulated travel will help protect our planet．You can't take large groups of tourists trooping up to look at Dian Fossey's gorillas．But a small robot can get very close to a silverback and send the sights，sounds，and smells back to a million people．
I like to use this analogy（类比）to compare traditional travel with future travel：riding a horse is wonderful，but I don't need to ride one to work anymore．That's how I feel about traditional travel．Sometimes I still might want to hop on a plane and see a place firsthand，but sometimes I may simply want to walk into my home dome and take the trip from there．
58．Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article？C
A．Protecting fragile environments like the Galapagos Islands．
B．Building home domes to meet people's desire of travelling
C．Traveling globally without even leaving home in the future．
D．Owning rooms called"home domes"to be put into reality．
59．According to the article，simulated travelB．
A．is a piece of equipment made for traveling
B．provides virtual access to actual traveling
C．has a negative effect on future environment
D．will be available in around fifty years'time
60．Which question is NOT answered in the article？D
A．Why is the"home dome"designed and produced？
B．When might a"home dome"be available to us？
C．What will be like in a"home dome"in future？
D．How much does a"home dome"probably cost？

9．（REUTERS/Jason Lee） Zhou Xiaochuan，governor of China's central bank，a high-level Chinese official on Sunday made the government's first admission that the country's economic slowdown was not going as planned．He told a meeting of regional leaders that his country's growth rate had tumbled "a bit too much．"
"China's inflation is also declining，so we need to be very careful to see if the disinflation trend will continue，and if deflation will happen or not，"said Zhou，His remarks were made at the Boao Forum for Asia，an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China．Zhou added that China could"have room to act"by taking"quantitative measures"and setting interest rates．
For many，the way he described China's health was no surprise．The country's economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s．Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins．Banks are carrying loads of debt，too，and the housing market is slowing．China's official 2015GDP growth target is 7%，but that seems shaky．
Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China．Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption．It is a brutal process，but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the self-sustaining superpower it wants to be．
（Barlcays）Until now，while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough，it had assured the world that the situation was under control．Just a few weeks ago，Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures．
Now it seems they are warming to the idea．In January，China's headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%，then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February．March probably isn't looking that great either from the People's Bank of China's point．

"Widening PPI deflation and soft CPI inflation，especially after adjusting for seasonal effects，point to persistent deflation risks，"Barclays wrote after February's number came out．"In our view，the monetary policy needs to be more'proactive'in order to deal with the cyclical challenges in the near term．"
58．Which of the following illustrates"growth rate had tumbled"in Paragraph 1？D
A．setting interest rates
B．economic transition
C．bounce of CPI
D．FIGURE 1
59．We can infer from the passage that one of the solutions to the slowdown could beC if needed．
A．monitoring deflation
B．expanding foreign investment
C．making new policy measures
D．reducing domestic consumption
60．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage？B
A．Zhou's admission is a big deal and a little bit irresponsible．
B．The Chinese government has admitted that things aren't going so well．
C．China should be more active in its struggle against inflation．
D．China's economy has been growing fast since the 1990s．
