5.It's 10p.m.You may not know where your child is,but the chip does.
The chip will also know if your child has fallen and needs immediate help.Once doctors arrive,the chip will also be able to tell them which drugs are not suitable for little Jonny or Janie.At the hospital,the chip will tell doctors his or her complete medical history.And of course,when you arrive to pick up your child,setting the hospital bill with your health insurance policy will be a simple matter of waving your own chip  the one embedded(植入) in your hand.
To some,this may sound unbelievable.But the technology for such chips is no longer the stuff of science fiction.And it may soon offer many other benefits besides locating lost children or elderly patients.It could be used as credit cards and people won't have to carry wallets anymore.
On the other hand,some are already wondering what this sort of technology may do to the sense of personal privacy and liberty.
"Any technology of this kind could result in abuse of personal privacy,"says Lee Tien,senior staff lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation."If a kid can be tracked,do you want other people to be able to track your kid?It's a double-edged sword."
Applied Digital Solutions,Inc.in Palm Beach,Florida,says it has recently applied to the Food and Drug Admission for permission to begin testing its device in humans.About the size of a grain of rice,the microchip can be coded with bits of information and embedded in humans under a layer of skin.When scanned by a nearby reader,the embedded chip gives the data.
Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips,which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader.But active chips such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future  will give out information all the time.And that means designers will have to develop some sort of power source that can provide a continuous source of energy,yet be small enough to be embedded with the chips.
In addition to technical problems,many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well.

68.By using the example in the first two paragraphs,the author wants to tell us thatC.
A.chips are usually used to locate lost children
B.chips are more convenient than credit cards
C.chips will soon be useful in many aspects of daily lives
D.chips will bring out the issue of abuse of personal privacy
69.What is the attitude of Lee Tien towards the chips?D
A.Negative      B.Positive      C.Indifferent  D.Concerned
70.Which of the following statements about Digital Angel is NOT true?B
A.It will include a chip and a power source.
B.It will be produced and replace passive chips.
C.It will be embedded in humans under a layer of skin.
D.It will give information without being scanned by a reader.
71.It is indicated in the passage that chip producers have to consider the following issues EXCEPTA.
A.financial problems             B.technical problems
C.legal problems                 D.privacy problem.

分析 文章介绍了芯片将在很多方面来方便人们的生活,目前需要解决的问题有技术上的,也有法律和隐私方面的.

解答 68-71 CDBA
68题答案是C.推理判断题.文章第一二段介绍了芯片可以帮助定位孩子,告诉父母孩子是否需要帮助,告诉医生孩子的病历史等,是想说明芯片将会对人们生活的许多方面有益.故选C.
69题答案是D.推理判断题.根据If a kid can be tracked,do you want other people to be able to track your kid?It's a double-edged sword.芯片是一把双刃剑,可知Lee对芯片的态度是很关心的,故选D.
70题答案是B.判断对错题.根据Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips,which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader.But active chips such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future  will give out information all the time讲述了两种不同芯片的区别,但是并没有提到谁要取代谁,所以选项B是错误的.故选B.
71题答案是A.细节理解题.根据In addition to technical problems,many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy issues would have to be cleared as well.除去技术问题,法律问题和隐私问题也需要被解决.选项A的financial problems(经济问题)并没有被提及,故选A.

16.Not all great meals come from restaurants.Some are served from carts and stalls,and eaten on the go.So-called street food is not only delicious,but can be found in nearly every country,rich or poor,says Carla Diamanti,co-author of Street Food:Authentic Snacks from Around the World."It's a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place,"says the Italian writer,who has nibbled her way around the globe.She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places with us.
Naples,Italy
Pizza:Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food,but Diamanti says there's nothing like the way it's prepared in Naples.The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers.If you're eating it on the go,you fold it up for pizza al portafoglio,literally wallet style."Our pizza is quick and simple,"she says.www.inaples.it
New York
Hot dogs:When foreigners first visit America,one of the first things many want to try is the country's typical snack food,the hot dog."It's like the flag of America-both inexpensive and democratic,"Diamanti says."You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall."212-484-1200; www.nycgo.com
Japan
Bento boxes:Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring.Bento boxes are filled with different dishes:often fish,meat,pickled vegetables,rice or tofu."It's really just a taste,"she says.While the containers are often elaborate wooden serving trays,they can be also cardboard boxes ordered to go.212-757-5640; www.jnto.go.jp
Jamaa el Fna Square,Marrakech,Morocco
Food stalls:When the sun begins to set,this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing,dance and eat.Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat,chicken and rice."There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,"Diamanti says.212-221-1 583; www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng/

20.According to sociologists,there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States.In the fanfily traditional cultural patterns confer (~z~,) leadership on one or both of the parents.In other cases,such as friendship groups,one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders,although there is no formal process of selection.In larger groups,leaders are usually chosen
formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability,decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of"natural
leaders."It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common;rather,virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Furthermore,although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader,research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals.Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group.Group members look to instrumental leaders to"get things done."
Expressive leadership,on the other hand,is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group's members.Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members.They give orders and may discipline group members who prohibit attainment (达到) of the group's goals.Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group.They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline,are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor,and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group.As the difference in these two roles suggests,expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members;
instrumental leaders,if they are successful in promoting group goals,may enjoy a more distant respect.

72.Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?B
A.Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.
B.A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group.
C.A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.
D.Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications.
73.The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus onC.
A.ensuring harmonious relationships
B.sharing responsibility with group members
C.achieving a goal
D.identifying new leaders
74.A"secondary relationship"between a leader and the members of a group could best be described asA.
A.distant                              B.enthusiastic
C.sympathetic                          D.personal
75.What does the passage mainly discuss?D
A.The problems faced by leaders.
B.How leadership differs in small and large groups.

D.The role of leaders in social groups.

17.When your child is supposed to doing homework,they chatting,their friends on Facebook or playing games'!If you want your child to do a good job with their homework and get good grades then you may want to start teaching them that this isn't the best idea.Many studies have shown that multitasking(多任务化)doesn't work,even though your child is probably proudly claiming they can do ten things at once!Many people believe that they can perform two or more tasks meanwhile,but Dr Edward Hallowell says this is a myth.The reality is that shifting tasks results in poor job performance.
New devices such as smartphone,iPads,games and social networking sites make it very easy to multitask and"attention share"resulting in difficulty focusing on the task at hand such as listening in the classroom or doing homework."Unfortunately.the brain actually rewards kids for multitasking even though performance on every task gets worse and worse.Kids don't know that they are doing worse because they feel better when they multitask,"says Dr Edward Hallowell.
Since the appearance of hand-held devices and social networking sites like Facebook,teachers have noticed a difference in academic performance,critical thinking skills and how information is processed."Multitasking prevents people from gaining a deep understanding of the information they are trying to learn,"says Dr Edward Hallowell.Kids have a difficult time sticking with a"difficult to understand"topic and are more likely to allow themselves to be distracted(分散精力),to tune out and switch over to Facebook or using their cell phones rather than working harder at understanding a difficult subject or problem.In the long run,the shifting of attention by multitasking affects grades.One study showed that kids that use the Internet while in class did poorly on tests resulting in lower grades.
33.What does the passage mainly talk about?C
A.Multitasking is not truth but myth.
B.The multitasking generation.
C.Multitasking results in poor grades.
D.Children are proud of multitasking.
34.What view does the author hold according to the last paragraph?D
A.Multitasking doesn't affect kids'grades in the long run.
B.Kids multitasking are better at shifting attention.
C.Kids should avoid a most difficult problem.
D.The Internet doesn't help kids learn in class.'
35.What is probably discussed in the paragraph following the.passage?C
A.Different attitudes towards multitasking.
B.Why children like multitasking.
C.What to do with children multitasking.
D.The disadvantages of multitasking.
14.NASA will be hosting a huge face-to-face Angry Birds exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral,Florida for the next year and a half in an effort to help get kids interested in physics and space!
The exhibit is called Angry Birds Space Dating.It has 1.2-metre-high (3.9-foot-high) slingshots(弹弓) that kids can use to fire mini Angry Birds at the green pigs,and there is also a laser-beam obstacle course!The exhibit lets kids make their own personalized Angry Birds games while they learn about gravity's effect on an object's track.
"Gravity will attract an object if it's moving in a straight line,and it will no longer move in a straight line because it gets bent and it goes in a curved track,"astronaut Donald Pettit explains in the video below.
"Astronauts have to worry about these thing  s because if you're in a rocket and you're trying to get from one orbit and arrive at a targeted space station,you end up going in curved tracks and you need to know how to fire your rocket engines so that you can go exactly from where you are to where you want to be."
Pettit said that the exhibit is a great opportunity for kids who are fans of the game to learn some science,math,and physics while playing instead of just playing an"empty brain-draining video game that crowds out the creativity from the minds of young people."
 
41.NASA holds the Angry Birds exhibit toA
A.interest kids in science

15.As a professor I have grown accustomed to the opinion regarding American education.We are repeatedly told that American schools are failing,that colleges are not teaching,and that the students of today are not as good as the students of the past.
There are,of course,problems with the education system.Because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes.However,the mere fact that there are some serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true.
One stock (陈腐的) claim is that America has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various tests.While the fact that America is behind other countries is a point of concern,there are at least three points worth considering here.The first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for America.The second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and hence it is worth considering that America's decline is also due to the improvement of others.The third is the matter of the measures-do they,in fact,present an accurate picture of the situation?I am not claiming that the data is bad.I am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time.
Another stock claim is that American students are doing badly on standardized tests.While there is clearly value in assessment,it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education.It is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself causing damage to education.That is,as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test,it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned.

28.According to the professor,many people's attitude towards American colleges isB.
A.positive   B.negative   C.approving   D.indifferent
29.What does the underlined word"dire"in the second paragraph mean?D
A.Fair or objective.B.Exact or precise.
C.Long and boring.D.Extremely serious or terrible.
30.Judging by the text,the claims are centered onC.
A.what should be taught in the American classroom
B.fair judgment of American education
C.American students'performance on tests
D.an accurate picture of American colleges
31.The passage is written mainly toA.
A.defend American education
B.show dissatisfaction with American education
C.explain why American students do badly on tests
D.offer advice on American education reform.
