The phrase bird-brain may be used to describe someone being silly, but this is not the case for
ravens.Long (31) for their intelligence, ravens are now known to be able to plan ahead, a
skill previously thought to belong only to humans. Researchers learned ravens could remember key
information for a future task through tests. Until now, some corvids- -the family of birds that
(32)____ ravens -have shownthe (33) to plan beyond thepresent, forexampleby
(34) food forlater.
But the latest experiments revealed that ravens can (35) forego an immediate reward in
order to get a better one in the future. In one of the tests，ravens were trained to use a tool to open a
puzzle box in order to (36) a reward. And then, the ravens were presented with a tool to
open a box and an immediate reward, but were only (37) to choose one or the other. Ravens
remembered that the reward in the box was better than the immediate reward, and almost all of them
chosethe tool.
4/13Ravens' (38) for planning is still unknown, but it may be similar to ours. The human
brain stores memories of past events to guide decision-making about (39) and future events.
Planning tends to come about when the higher (40) of a future reward is palpable, or when
oneimagines thehappiness that willcome byretrieving food in thefuture.

PASSAGE ONE
(1) Ralph felt a kind of affectionate reverence for the conch (海螺)，even though he had fished
the thing out of the lagoon himself. He faced the place of assembly and put the conch to his lips. The
others were waiting for this and came straight away.The place of assembly filled quickly; Jack, Simon,
Maurice, most of the hunters, on Ralph's right; the rest on the left， under the sun. Piggy came and
stood outside the triangle. This indicated that he wished to listen, but would not speak; and Piggy
intended it as agesture of disapproval.
(2)“The thingis: weneed an assembly.
(3) No one said anything but the faces turned to Ralph were intent. He flourished the conch. He
had learnt as a practical business that fundamental statements like this had to be said at least twice ，
before everyone understood them. One had to sit, attracting all eyes to the conch，and dropwords like
heavy round stones among the little groups that crouched or squatted. He was searching his mind for
simplewords so that eventhe littlunswould understand what theassembly was about.
(4)“Weneed an assembly.Not forfun. But toput thingsstraight.”
(5) He paused for a moment and automatically pushed back his hair. Piggy tiptoed to the triangle,
his ineffectual protest made，and joined theothers. Ralph went on.
(6)“We have lots of assemblies. Everybody enjoys speaking and being together. We decide
things.But they don't get done. We were going to have water brought from the stream and left in those
coconut shells under fresh leaves. So it was, for a few days. Now there's no water. The shells are dry.
Peopledrink from the river. ”
(7)There was amurmur ofassent. He licked his lips.
(8)“Then there's huts.Shelters. ”
(9)Themurmurswelled again and died away.
(10)“You mostly sleep in shelters. Tonight, except for Samneric up by the fire, you'll all sleep
there.Who builtthe shelters?
(11) Clamor rose at once. Everyone had built the shelters. Ralph had to wave the conch once
5/13more.
(12)“Wait a minute! I mean, who built all three? We all built the first one, four of us the second
one,and me n Simon built the last one over there. That's why it's so tottery (摇摇欲坠的). No. Don't
laugh.That shelter might fall down if therain comes back.We'll need thoseshelters then. ”
(13) Piggy held out his hands for the conch but Ralph shook his head. His speech was planned,
pointbypoint. Hepaused, feeling for hisnextpoint,“ And another thing.”
(14)Someone called out.“Toomany things.
(15)There came amutterofagreement. Ralphoverrode them.
(16)“And another thing. We nearly set the whole island on fire. And we waste time，rolling
rocks ,and making little cooking fires. Now I say this and make it a rule, because I'm chief. We won't
have afire anywhere but onthemountain. Ever. ”
(17)There was arow immediately.Boys stood upandshouted and Ralphshouted back.
(18)“Because if you want a fire to cook fish or crab, you can jolly well go upthe mountain.That
way we'll becertain. ”
(19)Hands were reaching for theconch in thelight of thesettingsun. He held onand leapt onthe
trunk.
(20)“All this Imeant to say.NowI've said it.Youvotedmefor chief. Nowyou dowhat Isay.”
(21) They quieted, slowly, and at last were seated again. Jack stood up, scowling in the gloom,
and held out his hands.
(22)“I haven't finished yet. ”
(23)“But you've talked and talked!"
(24)"I've got theconch.”
(25)Jack sat down, grumbling.
(26)“Then thelast thing.This iswhat people can talk about."
(27)He waited till theplatform was very still.
(28)“Things are breaking up.I don't understand why.Webegan well; we were happy.And then-
Then people started getting frightened. ”
(29)Amurmur,almosta moan, roseand passed away.Ralph went on，abruptly.
(30)“But that's littluns' talk.We'll get that straight.We've got to talk about this fear and decide
there's nothingin it.I'm frightened myself, sometimes ; only that's nonsense! Like bogies.Then, when
we've decided, we can start again and be careful about things like the fire. ”A picture of three boys
walking along thebright beachfitted through his mind.“ And behappy.”

PASSAGGE TWO
(1) Men and women tend to choose different career paths, and researchers have identified this as
the biggest reason men make more money. So if men and women were equally represented across all
occupations,would it closethat gender pay gap?
(2) Teaching is just one example of an occupation segregated along gender lines. According to
the Labor Department, about 80 percent of elementary- and middle-school teachers are women. A
wide array of other jobs in the United States are overwhelmingly done by one gender or the other-
-from low-wage cafeteria workers (61 percent women) all the way up to the C-suite (75 percent of
chief executives are men).
(3) But according to a study released on July 13 by the job-search site CareerBuilder, that could
be changing. Women are entering traditionally male-dominated jobs in greater numbers, and vice
versa. One of the more dramatic examples:Afull 95 percent of firefighters are men, but nearly a third
of new firefighters hired since 2009 have been women, according to the study. On the other side of the
coin, just 20 percent of elementary school teachers are men, yet men make up nearly half of all new
hires in thefield over thepast eight years.
(4) The softening of those gendered barriers ，and evolving perceptions of which jobs are
appropriate for whom, is a product of fundamental changes in the US economy, and, if the trend
continues, could inch women closer to equal pay with their male counterparts. But it's not a silver
7/13bullet. The pay gap is a multifaceted problem without a clean fix- -men still out-earn women even
withinthesame occupations, and a dearth ofwomen at thetop ofthe career ladderpersists.
(5)“We could have perfect gender parity and still have a pay gap, but it's still good news," says
Emily Liner, an economist and senior policy advisor. Gender parity hasn't improved markedly for
every career, but the study finds that women have made inroads in the past eight years in occupations
including CEOs , lawyers,web developers，dentists, sales managers ，marketing managers, chemists,
and financial analysts. There's even been a big increase in women hired as sports coaches and scouts.
Some of these shifts for men and women are borne out elsewhere. According to the US Census
Bureau ,thenumberof men in nursing careers ,while still small,has tripled sincethe1970s.
(6) A number of factors could be driving that migration. For men, Ms. Liner says, the evolution
into a service economy is altering perceptions of what is acceptable work.“ Automation and
globalization are the reasons men are considering jobs they may not have before," she says. For both
men and women, seeing peers take those less conventional career paths can get the ball rolling toward
gender parity even faster.“It's,
‘Iknow someonewho does thiswho is similar tome.'That might be causing some acceleration there.”
(7) In terms of increasing the80 cents a woman earns for every dollar a man does，easing the job
market's gender segregation could play a big role. Liner, in her research on how gender is linked to
salaries , found that jobs that account for the top 10 percent of earnings in the US are almost entirely
male-dominated. In contrast ,women occupy over two-thirds of the lowest-wage jobs that the Labor
Department tracks-entry-level retail and food service positions. Even within those low -wage
categories, there are often stark gender divides.Parking lot attendants, for example, are
overwhelmingly male, and they make about $ 3 ,000 more per year on average than cashiers, who
skewfemale.
(8) Historically, too, just the influx of women or men into certain careers has influenced their
prestige and earning potential. Computer programming started out as unglamorous work done
primarily by women,but became better-paying and respected as men became the majority. The reverse
is truefor anumberof jobsnow occupied primarily bywomen.
(9) But not all of them. Pharmacists make up an occupational group that has both increased the
number of women in its ranks over the long term and retained high earnings. Pharmacy is the
second-highest-paying profession in the US, and has a smaller pay gap than other prestigious fields ，
including business and law. In a 2014 speech, Harvard labor economist Claudia Goldin credited the
job's flexibility, made possible by technology and the standardization of the work itself, as a major
8/13factorin itsability torecruit women andretain them even as they start families.
44.According to thecontext, what does“a silver bullet"mean in Para. 4?
A.Afinal solution. B.The career ladder.
C.Apay gap. D.The gender parity.
45.Which ofthefollowing statements mayEmilyLiner agreewith?
A. It is impossible toachieve perfect gender equality.
B. It is promisingfor gender discrimination to subside.
C.Women need toenter better paid professions.
D. Menshould beurged towork in theservice industry .
46.Among all thefactors that spur theerosion ofcareer boundaries，which seems to betheroot cause?
A.The alteration ofsocial beliefs. B.Thepower ofrole models.
C.Theinfluence ofagroup psychology. D.Theevolution oftheeconomic structure.
47.What istheimplied messageof thelast paragraph?
A.Women are trying to find jobs infields with a smallerpay gap.
B.Thepharmacy profession seems to bemoretolerant towards women than thebusiness profession.
C. Most prestigious professions illlong be monopolized bymen.
D.Women tendto earnmore in technical and standardized careers.
PASSAGE THREE
(1) Louis Armstrong is rightly lauded as one of the most influential jazz artists of all time, but
less frequently appreciated is the impact he had on ending segregation in the United States. In 1931,
when Charles Black Jr. was a 16-year-old freshman at the University of Texas, he went to see
Armstrong play at the Driskill Hotel inAustin，hoping, in his own words, that there would be“lots of
girls there". Instead, he was struck by the music.“He was the first genius I had ever seen," Black wrote
in 1986.“ It had simply never entered my mind, for confirming or denying in conjecture, that I would
seethis for thefirst timeina black man...And ifthiswas true ，what happened to therest of it?"
(2) Black later became a constitutional lawyer, and in 1954 he wrote the legal briefs for Linda
Brown,the 10-year-old plaintiff in Brown V. Board of Education. That experience of being awed by an
artist's genius ended up contributing to a landmark case declaring racial segregation in public schools
to be unconstitutional.The Harvard art history and African American studies professor Sarah Lewis
cites this moment as an example of how culture enables people to see beyond their own blind spots.
Art that gets us to pause，she argues, can lead us toanew visionof theworld.
9/13(3) Last year, Lewis guest-edited an edition ofAperture magazine titled “Vision and Justice" ，
which explored the intersection of photography and black American, and how the medium has
contributed to social progress. She discussed the power of images and the political role of artists with
the architect Michael Murphy on Wednesday at the Aspen Ideas Festival, co-hosted by the Aspen
Institute and The Atlantic. Acknowledging the role that culture plays in justice, Lewis said, is
something people tend to do only in times of crisis. But even in the current moment, she argued, when
more visuals are produced every two minutes than were created during the entire l9th century, images
stillwield great power whenthey force peopleto slowdown.
(4) One example Lewis cited wasn't an artwork at all, but a plaque unveiled at Harvard last year
to commemorate slaves who worked at the university in the 17th century. She also referred to an
instantly iconic photograph of President Barack Obama bending down to let a small boy touch his
head. And she quoted President John Kennedy's 1963 speech at Amherst College, in which Kennedy
considered the power of artists in society, stating: “We must never forget that art is not a form of
propaganda; it isa form oftruth.”
(5) While that may be so, Murphy said, it doesn't mean art can't be weaponized. The co-founder
and CEO of MASS Design Group，a non-profit firm advocating for“architecture that promotes justice
and human dignity," reiterated the idea that forcing people to pause can enable them to restructure
their thinking.Architecture is conceptually slow, he argued, since most buildings take at least five
years to move from design to completion. He referred to MASS's proposal for a Holocaust memorial
in London, which would create a pile of six million individual stones in the middle of the city, each
one inscribed with the name of a victim. Visitors would be encouraged to take the stones home. The
end result, Murphy said ，would be that “six million people .... agree to participate, engage, take a
stone, and embrace amore justand tolerant society.
(6)There are images that are impossible to forget, searing themselves into our collective
consciousness," my colleague Yoni Appelbaum wrote last year, after an extraordinary photo of a
peaceful protester facing down two armed policemen went viral. As Lewis said, these are the visuals
that prompt us to pause, and show us“not only the things we want to celebrate, but the things we need
toremember.

A. racial discriminationcan hardly be neglected

Mobiketo Roll outService in theUK
Chinesebike-sharing majorMobikesaid onTuesday that itwill launch services intheUnited
Kingdom in Manchester and Salford at the end of this month as it ramps up efforts to compete with
rivals such as Ofo in overseas markets.
Mobike，backed by the Internet giant Tencent Holdings Ltd, said it will roll out 1 ,000 bikes at
11/13theend of June.After thescheme is upand running, the company will consider future expansion.
The move is part of Mobike's ambitious plan to expand its presence in the European continent.
Thecompany said itwill launch services to a series of European cities overthe nextfew months.
Weiwei Hu, founder ofMobike, said, “We're very excited tomake Manchester and Salford
Mobike's first European partners.They have longbeen aEuropean leader inculture, innovation and
technology.”
This came shortly after one of Mobike's most successful domestic competitors Ofo came to the
UKinApril,which launched 50bikes in Cambridge as part ofapilot program.
Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester, said he hopes many people will swap their cars
forbikes. He vowed totake a positiveapproach in promoting cycling in theregion.
“We're conscious that ourcity center is a complex and busy areaalready," Bumham said.
“Transport for Greater Manchester has been working hard to establish a voluntary code of
working with Mobike to make sure the service operates in a way that doesn't inconvenience other road
users,pedestrians orcity center traders. ”
People using the shared bikes are usually charged for every 30 minute slot they have them, but
details ofthepricing structure forManchester have not yet been released.
“If successful, it could play an important part of our long term plans for cycling in the region and
for
making travel easier and moresustainable,”Burnham said.
