Its founder has likened that to (34) a 747 jet after one flight, which would make air

cheaper since the cost of the rocket propellants are less than l percent of the full-price ticket for a
launch. So, if a rocket could be simply refueled like a jetliner for another flight, the cost of space
travel could drop to a (36) of what it is now. The stresses of spaceflight on reused boosters,

SECTIONAMULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
PASSAGE ONE
(1) Scarlett recalled bitterly her conversation with Grandma Fontaine. On that afternoon two
months ago, which nowseemed years in the past，she had told the old lady she had already known the
worst which could possibly happen to her, and she had spoken from the bottom of her heart. Now that
remark sounded like schoolgirl hyperbole. Before Sherman's men came through Tara the second
time，,she had her small riches of food and money, shehad neighbors more fortunate than she and she
had the cotton which would tide her over until spring. Now the cotton was gone, the food was gone,
the money was of no use to her, for there was no food to buy with it, and the neighbors were in worse
plight than she. At least, she had the cow and the calf, a few shoats (小猪) and the horse, and the
neighbors had nothingbut thelittlethey had been able to hidein thewoods and buryin theground.
(2) Fairhill, the Tarleton home, was burned to the foundations, and Mrs. Tarleton and the four
girls were existing in the overseer’s house. The Munroe house near Lovejoy was leveled too. The
wooden wing of Mimosa had burned and only the thick resistant stucco of the main house and the
frenzied work of the Fontaine women and their slaves with wet blankets and quilts had saved it. The
Calverts' house had again been spared,due to the intercession of Hilton, theYankee overseer, but there
was not ahead of livestock，not a fowl, not in ear ofcorm left ontheplace.
(3)AtTara and throughout the County，the problem was food. Most of the families had nothing at
all but the remains of their yam (山药) crops and their peanuts and such game as they could catch in
the woods.What they had, each shared with less fortunate friends, as they had done in more
5/13prosperous days. But the timesoon came when therewas nothing to share.
(4)At Tara, they ate rabbit and possum (负鼠) and catfish (鲶鱼)，if Pork was lucky. On other
days a small amount of milk, hickory nuts (山核桃)，roasted acorns (橡实) and yams. They were
always hungry.To Scarlett it seemed that at every turn she met outstretched hands, pleading eyes. The
sight ofthem drove her almost tomadness, forshe was as hungry as they.
(5) She ordered the calf killed, because he drank so much of the precious milk，and that night
everyone ate so much fresh veal all of them were ill. She knew that she should kill one of the shoats
but she put it off from day to day, hoping to raise them to maturity. They were so small. There would
be so little of them to eat if they were killed now and so much more if they could be saved a lttle
longer. Nightly she debated with Melanie the advisability of sending Pork abroad on the horse with
some greenbacks to try to buy food. But the fear that the horse might be captured and the money taken
from Pork deterred them. They did not know where the Yankees were. They might be a thousand
miles away or only across the river.Once ，Scarlett, in desperation, started to ride out herself to search
for food, but the hysterical outbursts of the whole family fearful of theYankees made her abandon the
plan.
(6)Pork foraged (四处搜寻)far,at times not coming homeall night, and Scarlett did not ask him
where he went. Sometimes he returned with game，sometimes with a few ears of corn, a bag of dried
peas.Once he brought home a rooster which he said he found in the woods. The family ate it with
relish (享受)but a sense of guilt, knowing very well Pork had stolen it, as he had stolen the peas and
com. One night soon after this, he tapped on Scarlett's door long after the house was asleep and
sheepishly exhibited a leg peppered with small shot. As she bandaged it for him , he explained
awkwardly that when attempting to get into a hen coop (鸡笼) at Fayetteville, he had been discovered.
Scarlett did not ask whose hen coop but patted Pork's !shoulder gently, tears in her eyes. Negroes were
provoking sometimes and stupid and lazy, but there was loyalty in them that money couldn't buy, a
feelingof oneness with theirwhitefolks which made themrisk their lives tokeep foodonthetable.
41. What can be concluded from Para. 1 about Scarlett after Sherman's troop went by Tara the second
time?
A. Shehad enoughcotton to survivethewinter.
B. Shehadneither moneynor ways to buyfood.
C. Shewas betteroffthan her neighbors.
D. Sheconcealed something in thewoods too.
42.Whosehousehadn't got burnt according to Para. 2?
6/13A.TheTarletons'. B.The Munroes'. C.The Fontaines'. D.The Calverts' .
43.Thefifth paragraph claims all thefollowing EXCEPT
A. thewholefamily becamesick due to overeating
B. Scarlett shouldhave slaughtered oneshoat
C. Pork was eventually sent to rideout to buyfood
D. Scarlett failed to mount ahorse to seek food
44.What isthewhole family's attitudetowards Pork' s stealing?
A.Ambivalent. B. Critical. C. Positive. D.Negative.
PASSAGGE TWO
(1) It has long been believed that the smartphones in our pockets are actually making us dumber;
butnow there isevidence forit.
(2)Theconstant presence ofa mobilephone has a“brain drain" effect that significantly reduces
people's intelligence and attention spans，astudy has found.
(3) Researchers at the University of Texas discovered that people are worse at conducting tasks
and remembering information if they have a smartphone within eye shot. In two experiments they
found phones sitting on a desk or even in a pocket or handbag would distract users and lead to worse
test scores even when it was set upnot to disturb testsubjects.
(4) The effect was measurable even when the phones were switched off, and was worse for those
who were deemed (认为) moredependent ontheirmobiles.
(5)“Although these devices have immense potential to improve welfare，their persistent presence
may come at a cognitive (认知的) cost ,”said Dr Adrian Ward , the lead author of the study.“Even
when people are successful at maintaining sustained attention- -as when avoiding the temptation to
checktheirphones- -themere presence ofthese devices reduces available cognitivecapability.
(6) The researchers tested 520 university students on their memory and intelligence when in the
presence ofasmartphone to seehow itaffected them.
(7)Participants were toldto completetests inmathematics，memory and reasoning with their
smartphones either on their desk, in their bag or pockets, or in another room, and with alerts turned off
so as not todistract students.
(8) Those who had their phones on the desk recorded a 10 percent lower score than those who
left them in a different room on operational span tasks, which measures working memory and focus.
Those who kept their phones further out of sight in their pockets or their bags scored only slightly
7/13betterthan when phones were placed ondesks.
(9) The researchers found that the negative effect of having a phone within eyeshot was
significantly greater among those who said they were dependent on their smartphones. Participants
who had expressed sympathy with phrases such as“I would have trouble getting through a normal day
without my cellphone" and “using my cellphone makes me feel happy" performed as well as others
when their phonewas ina different room, but worse whenit was placed ontheir desk.
(10) The study also found reaction speeds to be affected, with students who had their phone on
thedesk responding moresluggishly in high-pace tests.
(11) It even found that phones can even distract users even when they are tumed off and placed
face down. Those with phones outside of the room“slightly outperformed”those with switched off
devices.
(12) The researchers said the effect arises because part of a smartphone users' mind is dedicated
to trying to not think about distractions such as whether they have any messages when the handset
( 手机)is in theirlineofsight.
(13)“ We see a linear trend that suggests that as the smartphone becomes more noticeable,
participants' available cognitive capacity decreases," said Ward.“ Your conscious mind isn't thinking
about your smartphone, but that process -the process of requiring yourself not to think about
something- -uses upsomeof your limited cognitiveresources. It's abrain drain.
(14) Similar research has previously showed smartphones can have a“butterfly brain effect”on
users that can cause mental blunders.
45.Which group ofsubjects got thelowest score onoperational spantasks?
A.Those who laid theirphones onthedesk.
B.Those who put theirphones in another room.
C.Those who hid theirphones in theirpockets.
D.Those who placed theirphones beyond their vision.
46.Which ofthefollowing findings oftheresearch is INCORRECT?
A. Users addictive to smartphones were more adversely affected byvisiblephones.
B.Thesmartphone addicts with phones outsidethe room underperformed others.
C. Participants with theirphones onthedesk reacted moreslowly.
D. Subjects’attention is stilldiverted bythepowered-offface-down phones.
47. What is the correlation between the noticeableness of a smartphone and the existing cognitive
capacity ofthesubjects according toDrAdrianWard?
8/13A.Azerocorrelation.
B.Anonlinear correlation.
C.Apositivelinear correlation.
D.Anegative linearcorrelation.
PASSAGE THREE
(1) Humanities departments in America are once again being axed. The reasons, one hears, are
economic rather than ideological. It's not that schools don't care about the humanities- -they just can't
afford them. But ifonelooks at these institutions'priorities ,one finds ahidden ideology at work.
(2) Earlier this month, the State University of New York ( Suny) Stony Brook announced a plan
to eliminate several of the college's well. regarded departments for budgetary reasons. Undergraduates
willnolonger beable to majorincomparative literature, cinema and cultural studies ortheater arts.
(3) Three doctoral programs would be cut, and three departments ( European languages and
literature,Hispanic languages and literature, and cultural studies) would be merged into one. Not only
students but faculty will be affected; many untenured (未获得终身职位的) teachers would lose their
jobs, and doctoral candidates would have to finish theirstudies elsewhere.
(4) This is happening at a time in which high salaries are awarded to college administrators that
dwarf those of a junior or even senior faculty member teaching in at-risk departments. That
discrepancy can only be explained through ideology. The decision to reduce education to a corporate
consumer driven model,providing services tothe student-client, is ideological too.
(5)Suny StonyBrook is spending millions onamultiyear program entitled “Far Beyond" that is
intended to“rebrand" the college's image: a redesigned logo and website, new signs, banners and flags
throughout the campus. Do colleges now care more about how a school looks and markets itself than
about what it teaches? Has the university become a theme park : Collegeland, churning out workers
trained to fill particular niches? Far beyond what?
(6)Thethreat of cuts that SunyStony Brook is facing is not entirely new.In 2010,SunyAlbany
announced that it was getting rid of its Russian, classics, theater, French and Italian departments- ra
decision later rescinded (取消). The University of Pittsburgh has cut its German, classics and religious
studiesprogram.
(7) This problem has parallels internationally. In the UK, protests greeted Middlesex University' s
2010 decision to phase out its philosophy department. In June 2015, the Japanese minister of
education sent a letter to the presidents of the national universities of Japan, suggesting they close
9/13their graduate and undergraduate departments in the humanities and social sciences and focus on
somethingmore practical.
(8) Most recently, the Hungarian government announced restrictions that would essentially make
itimpossible fortheCentral European University,fundedbyGeorge Soros, tofunction inBudapest.
(9) These are hard times. Students need jobs when they graduate. But a singular opportunity has
been lost if they are denied the opportunity to study foreign languages，the classics，literature,
philosophy,music,theater andart.Whenelse in theirbusy lives willthey get that chance?
( 10) Eloquent defenses of the humanities have appeared- essays explaining why we need these
subjects,what their loss would mean. Those of us who teach and study are aware of what these areas
of learning provide: the ability to think critically and independently ; to tolerate ambiguity; to see both
sides of an issue;to look beneath the surface of what we are being told; to appreciate the ways in
which language can help us understand one another more clearly and profoundly- -or, alternately，
howlanguage can conceal and misrepresent. Theyhelp us learn how to think, and they equip us to live
in--to sustain-ademocracy.
(11) Studying the classics and philosophy teaches students where we come from, and how our
modes of reasoning have evolved over time. Learning foreign languages ，and about other cultures ，
enables students to understand how other societies resemble or differ from our own. Is it entirely
paranoid (多疑的)to wonder ifthese subjects are under attack because they enable students to think in
ways that are more complex than the reductive simplifications so congenial ( 适合的) to our current
politicaland corporate discourse?
(12) I don't believe that the humanities can make you a decent person. We know that Hitler was
an ardent ( 热心的) Wagner fan and had a lively interest in architecture. But literature, art and music
can focus and expand our sense of what humans can accomplish and create. The humanities teach us
about those who have gone before us; a foreign language brings us closer to those with whom we
share theplanet.
(13) The humanities can touch those aspects of consciousness that we call intellect and heart-
-organs seemingly lacking among lawmakers whose views on health care suggest not only zero
compassion but apoorunderstanding ofhuman experience，with its crises and setbacks.
(14) Courses in the humanities are as formative and beneficial as the classes that will replace
them.Instead of Shakespeare or French, there will be ( perhaps there already are) college classes in
how to trim corporate spending courses that instruct us to eliminate “frivolous”programs of study that
might actually teach students to think.

China'sFirst E-sportsMajorOpensEnrollmentin 2017
The first university e-sports department in China has announced that it will start accepting
11/13applications in 2017. The major is being offered at Communication University of China ( CUC) in
Beijing. This news arouses hot discussion among the public. Supporters and opponents alike fight
fiercely for theirviews onthis issue.
CUCwrote onitsofficial SinaWeibo onJan. 15:“Are you obsessed withLeague of Legends，
Overwatch, World of Warcraft? Do you want to build the best e-sports team in China? For students
who love video games : Welcome!As China's first e- sports major, we are recruiting new members for
thefirst time. Doyou dare tobethe first?"
The university set up its e-sports analysis major under the category of art and science in
December 2016. Students majoring in e-sports analysis study e-sports game data, team tactics and
strategy.They also learn toorganize e-sports games, according to theCUC website.
The first class will recruit 20 students to embark on the four-year undergraduate course.
Graduates from the first three years are automatically promised jobs with Hero Entertainment, a
Bejing-based e-sports company, which will cooperate with CUC to help train students and construct
laboratories.
E-sports have been growing in popularity among China's youngergeneration inrecent years.The
e-sports major was officially listed in September 2016, after being recognized in 2003 as the 99th
sports category bytheGeneralAdministration ofSport.
