  Can an iPhone really ake you happier? A new study says “Yes”. According to a survey of 35,000 people around the world, access to (进入) counications technology is a ajor factor in increasing happiness.
  We all need a few basic things in order to be happy: access to clean water and food, a hoe, health care, and relationships. But once the necessities are et, what do people ost desire? The answer is access to counication devices (设备), according to the survey by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT.
  ost people in the study gave siilar answers, but the potential (潜在的) happiness increase that technology could bring about was particularly great in woen and in people with low incoes or levels of education — even in developing countries.

  In rural (乡村) counities, access to counications technology such as cell phones and coputers is liited, but expanding, thanks to groups like One Laptop Per Child, which supplies children in developing countries with basic laptops that allow the to research school projects and connect with others all over the world. Other groups, like the UK’ s Coputer Aid, are helping rural villagers get wired with the help of portable cyber cafes (便携式网吧) that allow locals to log online to send eails and perfor work-related research.
  And back hoe, it sees fro the results that sall IT devices like the iPhone really can increase your happiness — provided you use it to talk with and send essages, photos, and videos to friends and faily to help strengthen your social networks, rather than siply play Angry Birds.

  It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson's faous coent that “When two English eet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, ost coentators fail to coe up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.
  Bill Bryson, for exaple, concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider,the ost striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very uch of it.” Siply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is alost unknown in the British Isles.
  Jerey Paxan, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong, he says,because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenoena. “The interest is less in the phenoena theselves, but in uncertainty.” According to hi, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.
  Bryson and Paxan stand for coon isconceptions about the weather-speak aong the English.Both coentators, soehow, are issing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather-speak is a syste of signs,which is developed to help the speakers overcoe the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data.Rather, they are routine greetings,conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather-speak is a eans of social bonding.
  72.The author entions Dr.Johnson's coent to show that ________.
  A.ost coentators agree with Dr.Johnson
  B.Dr.Johnson is faous for his weather observation
  C.the coent was accurate two hundred years ago
  D.English conversations usually start with the weather
  73.What does the underlined word “obsession” ost probably refer to?
  A.A social trend.
  B.An eotional state.
  C.A historical concept.
  D.An unknown phenoenon.
  74.According to the passage,Jerey Paxan believes that ________.
  A.Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
  B.there is nothing special about the English weather
  C.the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
  D.English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
  75.What is the author's ain purpose of writing the passage?
  A.To explain what English weather-speak is about.
  B.To analyse isconceptions about the English weather.
  C.To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jerey Paxan.
  D.To convince people that the English weather is changeable.
  【要点综述】 本文通过对Bill Bryson和Jerey Paxan两人迥然不同的观点的陈述来阐明作者对英国人以天气为寒暄内容的见解。
  72.D 逻辑推断题。通过引用名人名言来说明英国人以天气为寒暄内容的现象很普遍。
  73.B  词义推断题。Bill Bryson认为英国天气单一(there is not very uch of it)不足以引起人们的情感响应,因此该词此处指的是 “情感状态”。
  74.D 细节理解题。倒数第二段中有“The interest is less in the phenoena theselves, but in uncertainty.”(意思是:人们对英国气候的关注点不是气候本身,而是气候的不确定性。)由此可知答案。
  75.A 写作目的题。通过对Bill Bryson和Jerey Paxan两人迥然不同的观点的陈述来阐明作者对英国人以天气为寒暄内容的见解。

  If you were to coe up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the ost daage to the Aerican econoy (经济) in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firs that brought us the financial crisis (金融危机). Fro there, you ight ove on to the autoakers in Detroit.
  But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious noinee (被提名者): public education.
  At its top level, the Aerican syste of higher education ay be the best in the world. Yet in ters of its ain task — turning teenagers into educated college graduates — uch of the syste is failing.
  The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor’s degree.
  So finding out the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world’s largest econoy atters greatly, and a new book called “Crossing the Finish Line” tries to do precisely that. Its authors are econoists Willia Bowen and ichael cPherson, and a doctoral candidate atthew Chingos. The first proble they discover is soething they call under-atching. It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to hoe or less expensive. About half of the low-incoe students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. “I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students fro poor failies under-atched,” said r. Bowen.
  In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. eanwhile, lower-incoe students — even when they are better qualified — often go to colleges that excel (擅长) in producing drop-outs. “It’s really a waste,” r. Bowen said, “and a big proble for the country.” As the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate greatly is to lift it aong poor and working-class students. Instead, it appears to have fallen.
  What can be done? oney is clearly part of the answer.
49. According to this text, which of the following would people first think of as a factor causing daage to the Aerican econoy?
  A. The governent.B. Public education.
  C. The Detroit autoakers.D. The Wall Street firs.
50. What is a big proble with Aerican higher education?
  A. any college students stay away fro classes.
  B. It is hard to enroll enough students into college.
  C. any colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation.
  D. It is hard for any colleges to get financial aid fro the governent.
51. Why do soe students under-atch?
  A. Because they are not sure about future.
  B. Because they have financial proble.
  C. Because they can’t get guidance.
  D. Because they lack confidence.
52. The text is ainly about ______.
  A. Aerica’s financial crisis, its cause and influence
  B. relationship between Aerican education and its econoy
  C. low rate of Aerican college graduation, its cause and its influence
  D. probles with Aerican secondary education and possible solutions

  A new study has found that it ay be possible to train people to be ore intelligent (聪明的), increasing the brainpower they had at birth.
  Until now, it has been widely supposed that the kind of ental ability that allows us to solve new probles without having any relevant (相关的) forer experience — what psychologists (心理学家) call fluid intelligence — is innate and cannot be taught (though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).
  But in the new study, researchers describe a ethod for iproving this skill,along with experients to prove it works.
  The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working eory — the kind that allows eorization of a telephone nuber just long enough to dial it. This type of eory is closely related to fluid intelligence, so the researchers reasoned that iproving it ight lead to iproveents in fluid intelligence.
  First they easured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests. Then they trained each in a coplicated eory task — the child’s card gae, in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard. During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant ites, onitor ongoing perforance, anage two tasks at the sae tie and connect related ites to one another in space and tie.
  The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, separately. To ake sure they were not just iproving their test-taking skills, the researchers copared the with control groups that took the tests without the training.
  The results, published onday in The Proceedings of the National Acadey of Sciences,were striking. Iproveent in the trained groups was a lot greater. oreover,the longer they trained, the higher their scores were. All perforers, fro the weakest to the strongest,showed great iproveent.
  “Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper. “No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops,” he added, “and the experient’s design did not allow the researchers to deterine whether ore training would continue to produce further gains.”
53. The researchers thought the key to iproving the intelligence was ______.
  A. eorizing telephone nubersB. iproving working eory
  C. training in attentionD. recalling a card
54. Which of the following training ways help increase intelligence?
 a. ignoring irrelevant ites
 c. aking connectionsb. onitoring ongoing perforance
d. working in groups
  A. a, b, d. B. b, c, d. C. a, c, d.D. a, b, c.
55. When the experient was conducted, the researchers ______.
  A. trained the four groups for the sae period of tie
  B. trained the four groups at different tie of the day
  C. copared the four groups with control groups
  D. trained the four groups together
56. By writing the article, the writer wants to ______.
  A. infor the readers of a new study
  B. call on people to be trained to increase intelligence
  C. tell people the iproved intelligence will last forever
  D. say the ore one is trained, the ore one’s born intelligence iproves

  I don’t ever want to talk about being a woan scientist again. There was a tie in y life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field doinated (主导) by en. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found the interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-tie and the nature of black holes.
  At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother e in the least to be the only woan in the classroo. But while earning y Ph.D. at IT and then as post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother e. y every achieveent — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were y failures. Soeties, when I was pushed into an arguent on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would iediately fight fiercely on y behalf and all woankind.
  Then one day a few years ago, out of y outh cae a sentence that would fro then on becoe y reply to any and all attacks: I don’t talk about that anyore. It took e 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexis be yet another terrible burden on every feale scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
  Today I research and teach at Barnard, a woen’s college in New York City. Recently, soeone asked e how any of the 45 students in y class were woen. You cannot iagine y satisfaction at being able to answer: 45. I know soe of y students worry how they will anage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t disiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell the “war” stories. Instead, I have let the see their physics professor heavily pregnant (怀孕) doing physics experients. And in return they have given e the iage (形象) of 45 woen driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
57. Fro Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would thought the author failed because of ______.
  A. her study in gender politics
  B. the very fact that she is a woan
  C. her over-confidence as a feale astrophysicist
  D. the burden she bears in a ale-doinated society
58. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?
  A. Widespread wrong idea about nature and nurture.
  B. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
  C. Unfair blaes fro both inside and outside her circle.
  D. People’s traditional attitude towards feale scientists.
59. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?
  A. Feale students no longer have to worry about gender issues.
  B. Her students’ perforance has brought back her confidence.
  C. Her feale students can do just as well as ale students.
  D. ore feale students are studying science than before.
60. What does the iage the author presents to her students suggest?
  A. Woen can balance a career in science and having a faily.
  B. Woen students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
  C. Woen now have fewer gendre probles about science career.
  D. Woen have ore difficulties on their way to acadeic success.
