I got married just after I graduated from college and found a job to support our family at the nearby Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT).It was in the laboratory of Prof.Edward Lorenz that I learned what a computer was and how to develop software.
One day my husband saw a newspaper advertisement.The MIT Instrumentation Laboratory was looking for people to develop software to "send man to the moon".Deeply attracted both by the idea and the fact that it had never been done before,I became the first programmer to join and the first woman the lab hired.
At the beginning,nobody thought software was such a big deal.But then they began to realize how much they were relying on it.Our software needed to be very reliable and able to detect an error and recover from it at any time during the mission.
My daughter,Lauren,liked to intimate me—playing astronaut.One day,she was with me when I was doing a simulation (模拟) of a mission to the moon.She started hitting keys and all of a sudden,she selected a program which was supposed to be run before launch.The computer had so little space that it wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon.I thought:my God—this could happen by accident in a real mission.I suggested a program change to prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight.But the higher-ups at MIT and NASA said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake.
On the very next mission,Apollo 8,one of the astronauts on board accidentally did exactly what Lauren had done.The Lauren bug!It created destruction and required the mission to be rearranged.After that,they let me put the program change in.It was the program change that had a crucial influence on the success of the mission of Apollo 11.
During the early days of Apollo,software was not taken as seriously as other engineering disciplines (学科).It was out of desperation I came up with the term "software engineering".Then one day in a meeting,one of the most respected hardware experts explained to everyone that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be considered an engineering discipline,just like with hardware.It was a memorable moment.
15. What do we know about the author? ______
A. She created the term "software engineering".
B. She is the first woman ever hired by MIT.
C. She taught Lauren to write software.
D. She got her master's degree from MIT.

If there is one place you don't want to stick your finger,it's the mouth of a Pacific lingcod.
These fearsome fish have around 500 needlelike teeth sticking out of jaws (颌) that are strong enough to crush crustaceans (甲壳动物).
How lingcod maintain the sharpness of their terrifying teeth has long been a puzzle.But a study,published in November in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B,claims that Pacific lingcod keep their teeth sharp and shiny by replacing about three percent of them every day.For a lingcod,that's up to 20 teeth replaced daily.
In order to determine the frequency at which lingcod replace their teeth,Ms.Cohen,a coauthor of the new study,and her colleagues kept 20 lingcod at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories and tracked how many teeth they lost and regrew over several days.
The fish were placed in a tank of seawater mixed with a red dye (染料) that colored their teeth,then returned to their regular tank for 10 days.When the 10 days were up,the fish were placed in a tank containing a green dye and then examined.The teeth that were present since the start of the experiment were both red and green,whereas the new teeth were only green.
After collecting and examining a total of 10,000 teeth,the scientists were able to determine how quickly lingcod lost and regrew their teeth and which teeth were replaced most often.
Lingcod,like most fish,have two sets of jaws:oral jaws and pharyngeal jaws.Their oral jaws are used to catch food while their pharyngeal jaws,which are positioned in their throats,are used to chew their food and move it from their mouths to the stomach.Ms.Carr,the lead author,and colleagues found that teeth are replaced more frequently in the back of the mouth,where most of the chewing and crushing take place.
The way lingcod replace their teeth is likely crucial to their hunting strategy,says Kory Evans,a fish ecologist at Rice University in Houston. "The duller a lingcod's teeth are,the harder it is going to be for it to hold on to its target.So having the ability to shed teeth and replace them is pretty important." Dr.Evans said, "In order to make it as a lingcod,you need sharp pointy teeth and all your teeth need to be on point."
19. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? ______
A. What role seawater played. B. How teeth changed their colors.
C. What conclusion was reached. D. How the study was conducted.
20. According to the passage,lingcod's teeth are replaced ______ .
A. to better hunt for food B. every 10 days
C. faster in the oral jaw D. with bigger and sharper ones
21. What does the underlined word "shed" in the last paragraph probably mean? ______
A. Repair. B. Lose. C. Sharpen. D. Examine.
22. What is the purpose of writing this passage? ______
A. To warn people of the danger of a fish.
B. To suggest new ways to conduct studies on fish.
C. To introduce the findings of a new study.
D. To stress the importance of replacing teeth.
F
As college sports continue to be hugely popular and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) brings in large amounts of money,people have restarted the debate on whether college athletes should get paid.
Supporters of the idea believe that,because college athletes are bringing in audiences,they should receive some sort of compensation (补偿).In fact,the NCAA brings in about ﹩1 billion income a year,but college athletes don't receive any of that money in the form of a paycheck.
Additionally,people who believe college athletes should be paid state that paying college athletes will actually encourage them to remain in college longer and not turn professionals as quickly,either by giving them a way to begin earning money in college or requiring them to sign a contract (合同) saying they'll stay at the university for a certain number of years while making an agreed-upon salary.
People who argue against the idea of paying college athletes believe the practice could be disastrous for college sports.Paying athletes would turn college sports into a bidding (竞拍) war,where only the richest schools could afford top athletes,and most schools would be shut out from developing a talented team.It could also harm the within many college teams if players become unhappy that certain teammates are making more money than they are.
Those against paying college athletes also believe that the athletes are receiving enough benefits already.The top athletes receive scholarships that are worth tens of thousands per year.
They receive free food and textbooks,get travel bonuses and free equipment,and can use their time in college as a way to attract the attention of professional coaches.No other college students receive anywhere near as much from their schools.
While both sides have good points,it's clear that the negatives of paying college athletes far outweigh the positives.College athletes have been compensated enough.Adding a salary would result in a college athletic system where only a few athletes are paid by some schools who enter bidding wars to sign them up,while most student athletics and college athletic programs suffer or even shut down for lack of money.Continuing to offer the present benefits to student athletes makes it possible for as many people to benefit from and enjoy college sports as possible.
23. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that college athletes ______ .
A. tend to serve college longer when paid
B. have earned what they are promised
C. should sign a contract to make an agreed-upon salary
D. prefer to stay at university rather than turn professionals
24. The underlined word "camaraderie" in Paragraph 3 is similar to " ______ ".
A. competition B. spirit C. friendship D. communication
25. People against paying college athletes believe ______ .
A. schools would be unable to afford it
B. no other college students receive benefits
C. students would value payments over achievements
D. it could be harmful to college sports
26. What is the author's attitude towards paying college athletes? ______
A. Uncertain. B. Unsupportive. C. Satisfied. D. Expectant.
Blind Olympic Athletes Show the Universal Nature
Tune into any sports coverage on TV,and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory,while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat.Studies have revealed why—they are universal behaviours,performed by humans in response to success and failure.
The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University,who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. (1) They tried to find a large group of people,and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.
The answer was Athens,during the 2004 Olympic Games.Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind. (2) Working with a professional photographer,Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors,41 of whom had lost their sight,and 12 of whom were blind from birth.The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions,and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads,arms and bodies. (3) The winners tilted their heads up,smiled,lifted their arms and puffed out their chests,while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers.
(4) Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements.And while it's possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions,it's very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest.
These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from every part of the world.Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness,fear and surprise. (5)
A.Analyzing the data,they found that the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways.
B.In fact,the culture was found to have only a very small effect on their body language.
C.In particular,they wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation.
D.The athletes' behaviours give strong evidence that they have had the actions naturally since birth.
E.The result suggested that the athletes were showing their pride based on careful observation.
F.Therefore,they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing.
G.They are inborn behaviours and are accompanied by their own distinct sets of actions.

32. The Impact of Social Media on Adolescents (青少年)
Using social media has become a routine activity for most young people.In recent years the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically,so a large part of their social and emotional development is occurring while they are on the Internet.
Social media allow young people to achieve many of the online tasks that are important to them offline:staying connected with friends and family,making new friends,and exchanging ideas.Some schools successfully use blogs as teaching tools,which has the benefit of improving skills in written expression and creativity.At the same time,social media helps them get what they want,increase their knowledge and confidence in their academic (学业的) performance.
While social media provides many benefits,it can also have a negative impact on young people,both physically and mentally.It is easy to become addicted,and research shows that students who spend too much time on social media can suffer from poor sleep,eye fatigue,negative body image,depression,anxiety and more.Research also indicates that there are frequent online expressions of offline behaviours,which have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment (骚扰).
Using social media becomes a risk to adolescents more than they can realise.When people go on to websites,they leave evidence of their visits.This ongoing record of online activity is 89 called the "digital footprint".One of the biggest threats to young people on social media is to their digital footprint and future reputations (名誉).Young people who lack an awareness of privacy issues often post inappropriate material without understanding that "what goes online stays online".
As a result,future jobs and college acceptance maybe put in danger by inexperienced clicks of the mouse.
(1) Why is a large part of young people's social and emotional development occurring on the Internet?
______
(2) Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
Young people's improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment.
______
(3)You have been physically distanced from school for more than one month in this term.How do you make full use of social media to better your life and study?Please give one or two examples. (In about 40 words)

【解析】(1)段落大意题。根据文章第三段In order to determine the frequency at which lingcod replace their teeth,Ms.Cohen,a coauthor of the new study,and her colleagues kept 20 lingcod at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories and tracked how many teeth they lost and regrew over several days.The fish were placed in a tank of seawater mixed with a red dye (染料) that colored their teeth,then returned to their regular tank for 10 days.When the 10 days were up,the fish were placed in a tank containing a green dye and then examined.The teeth that were present since the start of the experiment were both red and green,whereas the new teeth were only green.(为了确定鳕鱼换牙的频率,这项新研究的合著者科恩女士和她的同事们在华盛顿大学的周五港实验室保存了20条灵鳕鱼,并跟踪了几天内它们失去和再生的牙齿数量。这些鱼被放置在一个海水中混合了一种红色染料的水箱里,这些染料可以给它们的牙齿上色,然后再回到正常的水箱中10天。10天过后,这些鱼被放置在一个装有绿色染料的容器中,然后进行检测。实验开始后出现的牙齿是红色和绿色的,而新牙齿只有绿色。)可知,本段陈述研究是如何进行的。故选A。
(2)细节理解题。根据文章最后一段The way lingcod replace their teeth is likely crucial to their hunting strategy,says Kory Evans,a fish ecologist at Rice University in Houston. "The duller a lingcod's teeth are,the harder it is going to be for it to hold on to its target.So having the ability to shed teeth and replace them is pretty important."(休斯顿莱斯大学的鱼类生态学家Kory Evans说,鳕鱼更换牙齿的方式可能对它们的狩猎策略至关重要。"鳕鱼的牙齿越钝,它就越难抓住目标。所以拥有牙齿脱落和更换的能力是非常重要的。")可知,鳕鱼的牙齿被替换是为了更好地寻找食物。故选A。
(3)词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段划线词前句The duller a lingcod's teeth are,the harder it is going to be for it to hold on to its target.(鳕鱼的牙齿越钝,它就越难抓住目标。)"和后半句"and replace them is pretty important. (更换的能力是非常重要的。)"和常识可知,鳕鱼牙齿更换前旧的牙齿会脱落。所以shed为"脱落"之意。A.Repair.修理;B.Lose.失去,脱落;C.Sharpen.使变锋利;D.Examine.检查。故选B。
(4)目的意图题。根据文章第二段But a study,published in November in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B,claims that Pacific lingcod keep their teeth sharp and shiny by replacing about three percent of them every day. (但是11月发表在《英国皇家学会学报B》上的一项研究称,太平洋鳕鱼通过每天更换大约3%的牙齿来保持牙齿锋利和闪亮。)及全文可知,文章主要介绍一项新研究的发现,太平洋鳕鱼通过每天更换大约3%的牙齿来保持牙齿锋利和闪亮。所以推断写此篇文章的目的是介绍一项新研究的发现。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项新研究的发现,太平洋鳕鱼通过每天更换大约3%的牙齿来保持牙齿锋利和闪亮。

(2)词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的if players become unhappy that certain teammates are making more money than they are.(如果球员对某些队友赚的钱比他们多而感到不高兴)可推知,当队友之间因为收入不同而产生不愉快时,就会影响到团队之间的团结和友谊,由此可猜测"harm the camaraderie"中的"camaraderie"与"friendship"同义,表示"友情,同事情谊"。A.competition竞争;B.spirit精神;C.friendship友谊;D.communication交流。故选C。
(3)细节理解题。根据第三段第一句People who argue against the idea of paying college athletes believe the practice could be disastrous for college sports. (反对向大学运动员付费的人认为这种做法可能会给大学体育带来灾难)可知,持反对意见的人们认为给大学运动员支付薪酬会对大学体育造成损害。故选D。
(4)观点态度题。根据最后一段While both sides have good points,it's clear that the negatives of paying college athletes far outweigh the positives.(尽管双方都有各自的道理,但显然,给大学运动员发工资的负面影响远远大于正面影响)可知,作者认为负面影响大于正面影响,也就是说作者不支持给大学运动员发工资。A.Uncertain.不确定的;B.Unsupportive.不支持的;C.Satisfied.满意的;D.Expectant.期待的。故选B。
本文是一篇议论文。讨论了是否应该给大学运动员发工资。

【解析】(1)推理判断题。根据前句The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University,who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame(这一发现来自英属哥伦比亚大学的 Jessica Tracy 和旧金山州立大学的 David Matsumoto,他们想知道人们是如何表达自豪和羞愧的),可知表示"他们尤其想知道这些表达方式是否是文化决定的,是否是通过观察习得的"的选项C符合前后的语境,They指代上文中Jessica Tracy 和 David Matsumoto,故选C。
(2)推理判断题。根据前句Its sister competition-the Paralympics-included many athletes who were born blind(它的姊妹比赛—残奥会—包括许多天生失明的运动员),可知表示"因此,他们无法目睹其他人对胜利和失败的反应"的选项F符合前后的语境,they指代上文many athletes who were born blind,故选F。
(3)推理判断题。根据前文Working with a professional photographer,Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors,41 of whom had lost their sight,and 12 of whom were blind from birth.The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions,and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads,arms and bodies.(在一位专业摄影师的帮助下,Tracy 和 Matsumoto 比较了108名参赛者的肢体语言,其中41人后天失明,12人从出生就失明。摄影师在运动员比赛结束后反复拍照,研究人员仔细记录他们头部、手臂和身体的姿势),以及后文The winners tilted their heads up,smiled,lifted their arms and puffed out their chests,while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers(获胜者仰起头、微笑、举起双臂、挺起胸膛,而失败者的标志是肩膀前倾、胸膛狭窄),可知表示"通过分析数据,他们发现有视力和失明的运动员的行为方式几乎完全相同"的选项A符合前后的语境,in almost exactly the same ways是关键词,故选A。
(4)主题判断题。根据后文Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements.And while it's possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions,it's very unlikely that they could have taught them all-particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest(从来没有见过别人有这种行为的男人和女人仍然做出完全相同的动作。虽然父母可能教过他们的盲童一些这些动作,但他们不太可能教过他们——尤其是胸部的扩张或缩小),可知表示"运动员的行为有力地证明了他们从出生起就具有天生的动作能力"的选项D本段的主题,since birth和taught them all-particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest是关键词,故选D。
(5)推理判断题。根据前文These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from every part of the world.Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness,fear and surprise(这些动作在来自世界各地的选手之间也非常一致。Tracy 和 Matsumoto 认为,骄傲和羞耻应该和其他基本情感,如快乐、恐惧和惊讶,一起占有一席之地),可知表示"它们是天生的行为,伴随着它们自己独特的一系列行为"的选项G符合前后的语境,they指代上文中pride and shame,故选G。
本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了一个研究人们是如何表达自豪和羞愧的方式的实验。
这是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子。解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子。
32.【答案】【小题1】Because in recent years,the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically.
【小题2】Young people's improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment.Because frequentonline expressions of offline behaviours have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment.
【解析】(1)细节理解题。根据第一段In recent years,the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically,so a large part of their social and emotional development is occurring while they are on the Internet. (近年来,使用社交媒体的年轻人数量急剧增加,因此他们的社交和情感发展很大一部分是在互联网上进行的。)可知,年轻人的社交和情感发展很大一部分发生在互联网上是因为近年来,使用社交媒体的年轻人数量急剧增加。故答案为 Because in recent years,the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically.
(2)推理判断题。根据第三段Research also indicates that there are frequent online expressions of offline behaviours,which have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment (骚扰). (研究还表明,线下行为经常在网上表达,导致了网络欺凌和网络骚扰等问题。)可知,人们经常在网上表达线下行为,这带来了网络欺凌和在线骚扰等问题,并不是"不当的数字足迹"会对网络欺凌和在线骚扰产生影响,由此可知,句中"Young people's improper digital footprint"是错误的,应改为"frequent online expressions of offline behaviours",因为经常在网上表达线下行为带来了网络欺凌和在线骚扰等问题。故答案为Young people's improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment.Because frequent online expressions of offline behaviours have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment.
(3)开放性试题。根据第二段Social media allow young people to achieve online many of the tasks that are important to them offline:staying connected with friends and family,making new friends,and exchanging ideas. (社交媒体可以让年轻人在网上完成许多对他们来说很重要的任务:与朋友和家人保持联系,结交新朋友,交流想法。)可知,社交媒体可以让年轻人在网上与朋友和家人保持联系,结交新朋友和交流想法等,由此可知,如果这学期你与学校的距离太远,你可以通过社交媒体与朋友保持联系,与老师交流想法或通过社交媒体获取知识等,答案不唯一,符合文意即可。故参考答案为I will use social media to stay connected with my friends and exchange ideas with my teachers.Besides,I will use social media to get knowledge.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体给青少年带来的好处和弊端。
