3.If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,you might have a hard time believing the news:e-mail is on the decline.
At first blush,that might seem to be the case.The incoming generation,after all,doesn't do e-mail.Oh,they might have an account.They use it only as we would a fax machine:as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites.They rarely check it,though.
Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter
messages-are more direct,more concentrated,more efficient.They go without the salutation(称呼语) and the signoff; we already know the"to"and';from."Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason:more signal,less noise and less time.This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated.Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later,I can now send you an unobtrusive,easily-consumed message that you can read-and respond to-on the go.
The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.Instantaneous(及时)written messages are different.These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any time:before a movie,in a taxi,waiting for lunch.And because these notes are invariably brief,they're a natural for smart phone typing.With these formats,you also have control over who can correspond with you,which you usually don't in e-mail.And especially on Facebook,instant messaging can take
on the character of a chat room,where several people can talk at once.
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history?Not necessarily.E-mail still has certain advantages.On the other hand,tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them,then they're gone,into an endless string,e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file,search and return to later.It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications:agreements,important news,longer explanations.
So,e-mail won't go away completely.Remember,we've been through a transition like this not so long ago:when e-mail was on the rise,people said that postal mail was dead.That's not how it works.Postal mail found its smaller niche,and so will e-mail.Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.

56.What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?C
A.Contact close friends
B.Send long messages
C.Fill in some forms
D.Communicate with their colleagues
57.Which of the following is mainly discussed in the paragraph 3and 4?A
A.The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail
B.The likes and dislikes of the young generation
C.The rapid development of e-communication channels
D.Evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages
58.What does the underlined word"ephemeral"in paragraph 5mean?D
A.Automatically-sending
B.Randomly-written
C.Hardly-recognized
D.Shortly-appearing
59.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?B
A.It's too early to determine the decline of e-mail
B.E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantage
C.E-mail,just like postal mail has come to its end
D.We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail.
17.Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?
    In a recent Wall Street Journal article,technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that,within a decade or so,we'll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones.That's because technological progress is extremely rapid.It's only a matter of time.Indeed,some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.
    It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating"No es bueno dormir mucho"as"It's not good to sleep too much."Replacing a word with its equivalent (同义词)in the target language is actually the"easy part"of a translator's job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.
    It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't--or shouldn't--involve simply translating words,sentences or paragraphs.Rather,it's about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression,humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.
    Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression:volume,gesture,situation,and even your culture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
    Therefore,we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us.If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it,how can we expect a machine to do better?Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer,undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language,a machine will never fully take our place.

51.What does the underlined word"imminent"i n Paragraph 2 probably mean?B
A.Ready.B.Approaching.C.Helpful.D.Advanced.
52.Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?B
A.Their data is not adequate enough.
B.The real meaning of words can vary.
C.Their accuracy needs big improvement.
D.A soul hasn't been breathed into them.
53.What view does the author hold about translation?A
A.Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B.Slight distinctions matter little in translation.
C.Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D.Culture deserves more attention than words used.
54.What is the best title for the text?D
A.An Expert's Precise Prediction
B.The Way of Translation
C.Who Will Be a Better Translator
D.Will Language Barrier Actually Fall
55.What is the author's attitude towards the modern technology?D
A.Unclear.B.Objective.C.Optimistic.D.Negative.
6.My oldest child,Emma,just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college.These days,friends and family have begun flooding me with one question:What is she going to do after graduation?
The job market is,after all,awfully tough.Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that"recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time."The bright spot,according to the study,is for students who majored(主修) in STEM-science,technology,engineering and mathematics-areas in which recent graduates"have tended to do relatively well".
But Emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college.She's an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food.For quite a while,I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I'm not the least bit worried she will find a good job.Yet the more I've thought about it,the more I've decided to be honest."I'm not sure what Emma is going to do,"I now say."But she's gotten a great education and has really found her interest.-and I know those things will serve he r well over the course of her life."
Nowadays,more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates.In this climate,encouraging your kid to study the humanities,seems,at best,unwise or,at worst,unconcerned with earning a living.But a college is not a vocational(职业) school.And promoting STEM subjects should not be society's only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.
From the beginning,we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money,as more and more families are doing.To Emma,what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time:Emma's contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.
12.The author's friends and familyA.
A.are worried about Emma's safety        
B.have been worrying about the flood
C.are concerned about Emma's future        
D.are worried about the job market
13.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?C
A.The number of the graduates is increasing.
B.STEM graduates can be better employees.
C.STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.
D.More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.
14.Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities?A
A.Because she is interested in it.
B.Because her mother told her to.
C.Because it is increasingly popular.
D.Because she wants further education.
15.According to the author,what matters most in choosing a major is thatD.
A.it should be among the STEM
B.it should be fashionable and interesting
C.it should allow a good job and a high salary
D.it should bring achievements and happiness.
4.Imagine you are standing on the 70th floor of the Empire State Building,staring at the cityscape.Suddenly a man pushes past you,opens the window and announces his intention to jump.You yell out,"Stop!Don't do it!"the six-foot-five figure turns to you and menacingly (恐吓地) says,"Try to stop me and I'll take you with me!"
"Umm…No problem,sir.have a good trip.any last words?"
"Let me tell you my troubles,"he says,"my wife left me,my kids won't talk to me,I lost my job and my pet turtle died,so why should I go on living?"
Suddenly you have a flash of inspiration."Sir,close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you are blind.No colors,no sights of children playing,no fields of flowers,no sunset.Now imagine that suddenly there's a miracle.You open your eyes and your vision is restored!Are you going to jump?Or will you stick around for a week to enjoy the sights?"
"I'll stay for a week."
"But what happened to all the troubles?"
"I guess they're not so bad.I can see!"
"Well,your eyesight is worth at least five million dollars.You're a rich man!"
If you really appreciate your eyesight,the other pains are insignificant.But if you take it all for granted,then nothing in life will ever truly give you joy.Actually,there are misconceptions on the road to happiness.
misconception1:"Once I know the tools for being happy,then it will work like magic."
Don't expect the results to come automatically.It is possible to understand how to achieve happiness,yet not put it into practice.In fact,many people actually prefer to be comfortable and unhappy,rather than bear the discomfort of changing their habits.Just as learning any new skill requires effort,you have to be willing to invest serious effort to achieve real happiness.
Misconception 2:"if I become content and satisfied with what I have,I'll lose my motivation to achieve more."
Now ask someone who is depressed,"Let's go fishing!""I'm tired.Maybe tomorrow.And anyway,I might rain…"in reality,happy people are energetic and ambitious.There's never enough time to do everything they want to do.
Misconception 3:_______
A beautiful Sunday afternoon,you're in the park having a picnic with friends.Suddenly one person complains:"who forgot the forks?It's too hot for volleyball.I want to go home already."
When our mood negatively affects others,we recognize we have duty to be happy and not spoil the fun.But what about when we're at home with our family?Or when we go into the office on Monday morning?like an open pit in the middle of the road,a sourpuss(牢骚满腹的人) is a public danger.Being happy is part of being considerate to the people around us.

A.tell a skill of persuasion
B.warn the danger of standing on a tall building

D.introduce the theme of the passage
33.What can be inferred from the underlined sentences?D
A.Everything has a price.
B.We should value what we have.
C.Every dog has its day.
D.Eyesight is more important.
34.What is right about happy?C
A.Happy is a gift.
B.Happy is limited.
C.Happy is contagious (会传染的).
D.Happy is no more than a skill.
35.The best subtitle of Misconception 3 isD.
A.If unhappy occurs at home,I needn't pretend to be happy
B.If I can't make others unhappy,I won't be happy.
C.If someone is happy,then others around them are happy.
D.If I want to be depressed,that's my own prerogative.
