14.Western airliner manufacturers seem to be tripping over (绊倒) themselves in their eagerness to sign cooperative agreements with Asian partners as a low-cost route to developing new airliners.Their potential Asian partners seem to be tripping over themselves to sign such agreements,as a low-cost route to acquiring new airliner technology.If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain,the other by trying to break into a market which isn't big enough to sustain (忍受) it.
Technology transfer works in a growing market,where the aspirations of the new entrant receiving that technology can be met through expansion.The airliner market is not such a device.
Even the most optimistic projections of airliner sales for the next 20years show that airliner manufacture can only be profitable if a small number of aircraft builders share the available sales.It follows that if new manufacturers come into the market and take sales,their sales must come from substitution,not expansion.
Given the complexity of today's airliners,it is unlikely that any new entrant will have both the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement of an established manufacturer.In the short term,such involvement may not be to the exclusive benefit of the new entrant most of the established manufacturers are searching for ways to reduce costs of manufacture.
In the short term,it can be of benefit to an established Western manufacturer to have either components of complete air-frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such as China,Taiwan or Korea,while retaining the design,development and marketing of aircraft for itself.It would be a very unwise Western manufacturer which did not notice the fact that these developing economies are acquiring skills (like computing) at least as quickly as they are acquiring skills in metal bashing (猛击).
The danger comes when the new entrant no longer needs the established Western partner because it has acquired the technical and intellectual ability to design and build its own aircraft.An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-cost labour base,the high-cost technology base and the vital financial base to build a new airliner.

74.The author's attitude towards Western/Eastern cooperation can be described asC.
A.positive   B.progressive   C.conservative   D.negative
75."The airliner market is not such a device"means that the airliner marketD.
A.does not encourage technology transfer
B.is too limited to offer chances of success
C.requires hi-tech rather than unaccepted devices
D.is full of competitions for new entrants
76.According to the author,a wise established manufacturer shouldD.
A.try to benefit from both financial and technical resources
B.break up his partnership with the East once profits are made
C.keep a tight told over hi-tech development and marketing of airliners
D.cooperate with Asian partners for a short time
77.The word"base"in the last paragraph representsA.
A.a place for aircraft production 
B.the operation of aircraft
C.a research institute 
D.a position where to build office.

分析 本文主要讲述西方飞机制造商和亚洲伙伴关于新航线的开发的一些问题.

解答 74.C   75.D   76.D   77.A
74   C   细节题. 根据文章第一 段If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain,the other by trying to break into a market which isn't big enough to sustain (忍受) it. 可知如果他们不小心,最终都不会双赢,因此作者对东西方的合作的态度是保守的,故选C.
75   D   细节题. 根据文章第四段it is unlikely that any new entrant will have both the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement of an established manufacturer. 可知航空公司受益的条件非常苛刻,因此航空市场对于新的加入者充满了竞争.
76    D  细节题. 根据文章倒数第二 段In the short term,it can be of benefit to an established Western manufacturer to have either components of complete air-frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such as China,Taiwan or Korea,可知聪明的制造商可以短期的和亚洲伙伴合作获得利益,故选D.
77    A  猜测词义题.  根据文章最后一段An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-cost labour base,the high-cost technology base and the vital financial base to build a new airliner. 可知亚洲合作者既可以获得低成本的生产基地,又可以获得高成本的科技,故选A.

2.Since the start of the deadly AIDS epidemic in the 1980s,scientists have been working towards a cure.Now,they may be close to finding one.
Researchers have developed a method to cut the viral (病毒) DNA from a person's infected cells.It is called CRISPR/Cas9and it means the person could be virus-free.
DNA is a substance that carries genetic information in the cells of animals and plants.
This gene-editing took place in a scientific lab,but has not been tested on humans yet.
"It's a big step,"said Kamel Khalili,Ph.D.He is lead researcher and chair at the Department of Neuroscience at Temple University in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania.He and his team made the discovery.
But more tests have to be done to know if it will be a cure for the millions of patients infected with the HIV virus,which causes AIDS.
Antiretroviral drugs have been doing a good job of keeping the AIDS virus from reproducing.Such a good job that levels of HIV are just about undetectable in infected people who take the medicine.
But even with the drugs,the virus stays in the body's"T-cells,"which are T-lymphocytes.AIDS damages the immune system,hurting the body's ability to fight off disease.
So the drugs are kind of a"Band-Aid solution,"Khalili explained.They keep the virus from growing.But they do not remove the memory of the virus from the cells.
And,the moment antiretroviral drugs are stopped,the HIV comes back to life and begins making more HIV,which is the AIDS virus.
Khalili and his team of scientists appear to have found a way to cut this viral DNA from infected people's cells.
In their lab,they took cells from people infected with the HIV virus.They removed the part of the cell that was holding the virus.
He said they had"in some cases,near 90percent of the virus replication (复制) or production dropped in the patient samples after treatment in the laboratory."
Khalili and his team have not actually cured any patients yet.However,he believes this gene-editing technology could possibly cure AIDS.
"Removal of the virus can lead to the cure."He said,"it's an exciting time,and the reason is the technologies are available and the methods are in place and our knowledge has increased."
"And hopefully,there will be funding to take us toward this exciting moment for developing the cure strategy by getting rid of viral DNA using editing techniques."
62.The newly found way is intended to cure AIDS byB.
A.doing damage to the immune system
B.removing viral DNA from infected cells
C.doing research into antiretroviral drugs
D.taking cells from those infected with the HIV virus
63.What can we know about antiretroviral drugs from the passage?C
A.They are likely to make more AIDS virus.
B.They can help body to fight against disease.
C.They are unable to cure people of their HIV virus.
D.Virus will disappear from T-cells because of them.
64.Kamel Khalili's words in the last two paragraphs indicate thatD.
A.his new method is bound to be a perfect cure for AIDS
B.antiretroviral drugs will be dropped in the near future
C.their discovery has made great contributions to human beings
D.they will succeed curing AIDS if they aren't lacking in money.
2.Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street?Perhaps they were busy talking,texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them.As the number of this new"species"of human has kept rising,they have been given a new name-phubbers(低头族).
Recently,a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight.In the short film,phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones.A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die,a pretty woman takes selfie(自拍) in front of a car accident site,and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone.A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of theworld.
Although the ending sounds overstated,the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it."Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,"Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying."the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching."Also,staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually,according to the report.
But that's not all.Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family.At reunions with family or friends,many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere,Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life.There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death,suffered accidents,and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

28.For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para.2?B
A.To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
B.To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
C.To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D.To advertise the cartoon made by students.
29.Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A
A.He will cause the destruction of the world.
B.His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C.He might get separated from his friends and family.
D.His social skills could be affected.
30.Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing?B
A.Supportive.
B.Optimistic.
C.Opposed.
D.Objective.
31.What may the passage talk about next?D
A.Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B.People addicted to phubbing.
C.Consequences of phubbing.
D.Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
9.Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months.Squirrels (松鼠),for example,have been busy gathering nuts from trees.Well,scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.
They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana.The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees.The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.
Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen,a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico.The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way.Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.But they seldom remember where they buried every nut.So some nuts remain in the ground.Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring.Red squirrels,however,store large groups of nuts above ground.Professor Swihart calls"death traps for seeds".
Gray squirrels are native to Indiana.But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture.Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.
The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year,unlike walnut trees.They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana.Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

68.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is toB.
A.find out the living conditions for squirrels
B.learn squirrels'influence on black walnut trees
C.do something to get rid of squirrels
D.save the forests in the American state of Indiana
69.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies inD.
A.the way they gather the walnut  
B.the time they have winter sleep
C.the place they have winter sleep  
D.the place they store the walnuts
70.When Professor Swihart says"death traps for seeds",he actually means thatC.
A.red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrels
B.gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fights
C.nuts above the ground will not develop into plants
D.seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest
71.According to the passage,which of the following is true?A
A.The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels.
B.Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.
C.Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.
D.The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.
19.Nowadays more and more traditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will decrease their share of the market.
     According to a survey,90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer.As they find that by being able to go shopping online and choose the things that they need,and have them delivered right to their doorsteps,they could no longer be bothered with driving,the crowds,the noise of that,and they usually get a better selection.But sometimes they are cheated only to get the things they hate.
     Cornell University Marketing Professor Edward McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods  like clothing,which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing,as well as items that are difficult to transport.He says some traditional stores are also pleasing pleasing customers with services such as setting up or repairing computers and other electronic  equipment.
     Traditional stores also offer social experiences that some shoppers enjoy.There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place.Oftentimes,you need that last sense of"this is exactly what I want"before you part with money.And you can't al-ways get that online.It's a rather cold process.
      As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones,online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.
60.Traditional businessmen feel upset becauseA.
A.people like to have their goods taken good care of
B.growing online sales will seize their share of the market
C.more and more young people purchase things on the computer
D.consumers can always get a better selection by shopping online
61.According to McLaughlin,some traditional stores are keeping customers byDA.giving customers electronic toys as presents
B.making their goods better and cheaper
C.delivering goods to each doorstep
D.providing customers with extra services
62.From the fourth paragraph,we know thatD
A.online shoppers tend to be friendly to each other
B.the process of shopping online is full of emotion
C.making buying decisions in traditional shops is difficult
D.some shoppers like the social environment in traditional stores
63.What is the author's attitude towards the future online commerce?A
A.Optimistic.B.Doubtful.C.Worried.D.Concerned.
6.When a rather dirty,poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg (36)Da few coins,do you hurry on,not (37)A what to do,or do you feel sad and hurriedly (38)Bsome money?What should our attitude(39)D beggars be?There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories.It (40)A be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from.It seems (41)Cnot to give some money to beggars.

3.Blind photography sounds strange.But a striking exhibition of photographs in California argues that it develops as a result of the contemporary art.The show"Sight Unseen",at the California Museum of Photography until Aug.29,includes everything:underwater scenes,landscapes,abstracts and everything else you might expect from a"sighted"photographer.
    How do the blind take their photographs?Some rely on assistants to set up and then describe the shots (镜头),and others just point and shoot in the right place."Just like any good artists,"says McCulloh."They have their unique ways of operating."One participating photographer is Pete Eckert,an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid-1990s.He opens the shutter (快门) on his camera and then uses flashlights,lights,and candies to paint his scene on film.A former fashion photographer in Chicago,Weston,lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996 and focuses on images of destruction and disability.His photos are also a star of the show.
    What do gallery-goers say?"I was very impressed by it.The technique and experience was amazingly different,"says John Hesketh,a printmaker in Anaheim."You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because they've worked very hard to prove their value."
    Beyond the praise,however,the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere.That point was explained in early May during a discussion on the TV show.At the very end of the talk,one attendee expressed his opinion."This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons.I think that by being an artist with a disability,you are continuing the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain access and to have a voice.In that way,it's so wonderful that your photographs say it all."
63.From the passage we know that some blind people take photos byB
A.describing the things to their assistants
B.holding the camera and shooting randomly
C.opening the shutter with the help of others
D.using special equipment designed for them
64.We can learn from the passage that blind photographersC
A.were not born blind
B.do jobs related to art
C.focus on different subjects
D.like photos of destruction
65.What is people's reaction to the blind photography show?A
A.They admire the blind photographers'hard work.
B.They feel really sorry for those blind photographers.
C.They think some have good techniques while others not.
D.They can understand (lie real meaning of each photograph.
66.The significance of the exhibition lies in the fact thatD.
A.the California Museum of Photography receives praises for holding the show
B.the public have a chance to know what the blind people are concerned about
C.the blind photographers have a good place to show their works
D.the exhibition can be very inspiring to the blind in the world.
4.New Yorkers and visitors to the Big Apple will get to ring in the Lunar New Year,also known as Chinese New Year in the U.S.,in style with a fireworks display on the Hudson River set to music written by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun.
The display is part of the second annual"Happy Chinese New Year:Fantastic Art China"festival held in New York on February 5-10,2016.The China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA),the U.S.-China Cultural Institute and the Cultural Associate of the Committee of 100announced this year's events on November 18at a press conference at the Lincoln Center.
The"Fantastic Art China"festival will feature a larger and more diverse series of artistic and cultural events across New York's top cultural venues (地点) and landmarks,including the Lincoln Center,Empire State Building and Jacob K.Javits Convention Center.
This year's theme focuses on exploring the complicated relationship between sound and image,said Professor Yu Ding from CAFA,who is also president of Fantastic Art China and in charge of the festival's design.Lunar New Year,which celebrates the"Year of the Monkey"in 2016,is an opportunity to bring China's modern art to mainstream America,and the festival serves as  an innovative approach to establishing cultural exchange between China and New York City,Yu said.
UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Tan Dun's music is a new edition that will be featured  at several venues,including a major art exhibition at the Javits Center,events at the Lincoln Center and the fireworks display on the Hudson,which will take place on the evening of February 6.Five barges (游艇) on the river will launch the fireworks designed by CAFA that will tell a story about celebration and conservation.
"We Chinese are fond of nature,so the best way to celebrate the Lunar New Year is to salute with the sounds of nature,such as sounds of water,stone and bamboo,"said Tan Dun at the press conference,"And it will be fun to use the music of water during the firework display."
In addition to the fireworks,a special lighting show at the Empire State Building will illuminate New York City during the holiday.
Chinese New Year is being recognized as a public school holiday for the first time in New York.Children from the National Dance Institute,which represents 75schools,will perform traditional Chinese dances at the Lincoln Center and the Javits Center.And,in celebration of the"Year of the Monkey"events will feature a conservation message about the endangered golden monkey in China.
