Passage C
Enugh “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message frm a grup f members f the UK gvernment wh have been examining hw scial media firms like LinkedIn gather and use scial media data.
The Huse f Cmmns Science and Technlgy Cmmittee’s reprt, released last week, has blamed firms fr making peple sign up t lng incmprehensible legal cntracts and calls fr an internatinal standard r kite mark（认证标记） t identify sites that have clear terms and cnditins.
“The term and cnditins statement that we all carelessly agree t is meaningless drivel t anyne,” says Andrew Miller, the chair f the cmmittee. Instead, he says, firms shuld prvide a plain-English versin f their terms. The simplified versin wuld be checked by a third party and awarded a kite mark if it is an accurate reflectin f the riginal.
It is nt yet clear wh wuld administer the scheme, but the UK gvernment is lking at intrducing it n a vluntary basis. “We need t think thrugh hw we make that wrk in practice,” says Miller.
Wuld we pay any mre attentin t a kite mark? “I think if yu went and did the survey, peple wuld like t think they wuld,” says Nigel Shad blt at the University f Suthamptn, UK, wh studies pen data. “We d knw peple wrry a lt abut the inapprpriate use f their infrmatin. ” But what wuld happen in practice is anther matter, he says.
Other rganizatins such as banks ask custmers t sign lng cntracts they may nt read r understand, but Miller believes scial media requires special attentin because it is s new. “We still dn’t knw hw significant the lng-term impact is ging t be f unwise things that kids put n scial media that cme back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.
Shadblt, wh gave evidence t the cmmittee, says the prblem is that we dn’t knw hw cmpanies will useurdata because their business mdels and uses f data are still evlving. Large cllectins f persnal infrmatin have becme valuable nly recently, he says.
The shck and anger when a scial media firm des smething with data that peple dn’t expect, even if users have apparently permissin, shw that the current situatin isn’t wrking. If prperly administered, a kite mark n terms and cnditins culd help peple knw what exactly they are signing up t, althugh they wuld still have t actually read them.
73．What des the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1and 3refer t? ________
A．Legal cntracts that scial media firms make peple sign up t.
B．Warnings frm the UK gvernment against unsafe websites.
C．Guidelines n hw t use scial media websites prperly.
D．Insignificant data cllected by scial media firms.
74．It can be inferred frm the passage that Nigel Shadblt dubts whether ________
A．scial media firms wuld cnduct a survey n the kite mark scheme
B．peple wuld pay as much attentin t a kite mark as they think
C．a kite mark scheme wuld be wrkable n a natinwide scale
D．the kite mark wuld help cmpanies develp their business mdels
75．Andrew Miller thinks scial media needs mre attentin than banks mainly because ________
A．their users cnsist largely f kids under 20 years ld
B．the language in their cntracts is usually harder t understand
C．the infrmatin they cllected culd becme mre valuable in future
D．it remains unknwn hw users’ data will be taken advantage f
76．The writer advises users f scial media t ________
A．think carefully befre psting anything nt such websites
B．read the terms and cnditins even if there is a kite mark
C．take n further actin if they can find a kite mark
D．avid prviding t much persnal infrmatin

A．Say n t scial media?

Passage 2
Thirteen vehicles lined up last March t race acrss the Mjave Desert, seeking a millin in prize mney. T win, they had t finish the 142-mile race in less than 10hurs. Teams and watchers knew there might be n winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part driver.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Prjects Agency, rganized the race as part f a push t develp rbtic vehicles fr future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just prved hw difficult it is t get a car t speed acrss an unfamiliar desert withut human guidance. One had its brake lck up in the starting area. Anther began by thrwing itself nt a wall. Anther gt tied up by bushes near the rad after 1.9 miles.
One turned upside dwn. One tk ff in entirely the wrng directin and had t be disabled by remte cntrl. One went a little mre than a mile and rushed int a fence; anther managed t g fr six miles but stuck n a rck. The “winner” if there was any, reached 7.8 miles befre it ran int a lng, narrw hle, and the frnt wheels caught n fire.
“Yu get a lt f respect fr natural abilities f the living things,” says Reinhld Beranger, wh helped design tw f the car-size vehicles fr a cmpany called Sci-Autnics. “Even ants can d all these tasks effrtlessly. It’s very hard fr us t put these abilities int ur machines.”
The rbtic vehicles, thugh with necessary mdern equipment such as advanced cmputers and GPS guidance, had truble figuring ut fast enugh the blcks ahead that a tw-year-ld human recgnizes immediately. Sure, that very yung child, wh has just nly learned t walk, may nt think t wipe apple juice ff her face, but she already knws that when there’s a ckie in the kitchen she has t climb up the table, and that when she gets t the ckie it will taste gd. She is mre advanced, even mnths ld, than any machine humans have designed.
67．Watchers dubted if any f the vehicles culd finish the race because ________
A．they did nt have any human guidanceB．the rad was nt familiar t the drivers
C．the distance was t lng fr the vehiclesD．the prize mney was unattractive t the drivers
68．DARPA rganized the race in rder t ________
A．raise mney fr prducing mre rbtic vehiclesB．push the develpment f vehicle industry
C．train mre peple t drive in the desertD．imprve the vehicles fr future wars
69．Frm the passage we knw “rbtic vehicles” are a kind f machines that ________.

B．can take part in a race acrss 142miles with a time limit
C．can shw ff their ability t turn themselves upside dwn
D．can mve frm place t place withut being driven by human beings
70．In the race, the greatest distance ne rbtic vehicle cvered was ________.
A．abut eight milesB．six miles
C．almst tw milesD．abut ne mile
71．In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a lng way t g ________.
A．fr a rbtic vehicle t finish a 142-mile race withut any difficulties
B．.fr a little child wh has just learned t walk t reach the ckie n the table
C．fr a rbtic vehicle t deal with a simple prblem that a little child can slve
D．fr a little child t understand the imprtance f wiping apple juice ff its face
Test A
Lk t many f histry’s cultural symbls, and there yu’ll find an ancestr f Frsty, the snwman in the mvie Frzen. It appeared n sme f the first pstcards, starred in sme f the earliest silent mvies, and was the subject f a cuple f the earliest phts, dating all the way back t the 1800s. I discvered even mre abut ne f humanity’s earliest frms f life art during several years f research arund the wrld.
Fr example, snwmen were a phenmenn in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thught. At a time f limited means f expressin, snw was like free art supplies drpped frm the sky. It was a ppular activity fr cuples t leisurely walk thrugh twn t view the temprary wrks f chilly art. Sme were created by famus artists, including a 19-year-ld Michelangel, wh in 1494was appinted by the ruler f Flrence, Italy, t build a snwman in his mansin’s curtyard.
The Miracle f 1511tk place during six freezing wrks called the Winter f Death. The city f Brussels was cvered in snwmen—an impressive scene that tld stries n every street crner. Sme were plitical in nature, criticizing the church and gvernment. Sme were a reflectin f peple’s imaginatin. Fr the peple f Brussels, this was a defining mment f defining freedm. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging flds.
If yu fear the heyday f the snwman has passed, dn’t wrry: I’ve learned that sme explsive snwman histry is still being made tday. Every year since 1818, the peple f Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning f spring by blwing up a snwman. On the third Mnday f April, the hliday Sechselauten is kicked ff when a cttn snwman called the Bg is stuffed with explsive and paraded thrugh twn by bakers and ther tradesmen wh thrw bread t the crwds. The parade ends with the Bg being placed n a 40-ft pile f firewd. After the bells f the Church f St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing f winter, the pile is lit. When the snwman expldes, winter is cnsidered fficially ver—the quicker it is burnt dwn, the lnger summer is said t be.
66．Accrding t the passage, why did snwmen becme a phenmenn in the Middle Ages? ________
A．Peple thught f snw as hly art supplies.
B．Peple lnged t see masterpieces f snw.
C．Building snwmen was a way fr peple t express themselves.
D．Building snwmen helped peple develp their skill and thught.
67．“The heyday f the snwman”（paragraph 4） means the time when ________.
A．snwmen were made mainly by artistsB．snwmen enjyed great ppularity
C．snwmen were plitically criticizedD．snwmen caused damaging flds
68．In Zurich, the blwing up f the Bg symblizes ________.
A．the start f the paradeB．the cming f a lnger summer
C．the passing f the winterD．the success f tradesmen
69．What can be cncluded abut snwmen frm the passage? ________
A．They were appreciated in histryB．They have lst their value
C．They were related t mviesD．They vary in shape and size
C
One f the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute fr a day-lng leadership wrkshp using the wrks f Shakespeare was discussing the rle f Brutus in the death f Julius Caesar. “Brutus was nt an hnrable man,” he said. “He was a traitr（叛徒）. And he murdered smene in cld bld.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when ther ptins were available t him. He made a bad decisin, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—t take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And thugh ne f the executives acknwledged that Brutus had the gd f the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superir. “Yu have t endeavr,” the executives said, “ur plicy is t bey the chain f cmmand.”
During the last few years, business executives and bk writers lking fr a new way t advise crprate America have been expliting Shakespeare’s wisdm fr prfitable ends. Nne mre s than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carl Adelman, well-knwn advisers t the White Huse, wh started up a training cmpany called “Mvers and Shakespeare’s”. They are amateur Shakespeare schlars and Shakespeare lvers, and they have cmbined their passin and their high level cntacts int a management training business. They cnduct between 30 and 40 wrkshps annually, fcusing n half a dzen different plays, mstly fr crpratins, but als fr gvernment agencies.
The wrkshps all take the same frm, fcusing n a single play as a kind f case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessns. In Julius Caesar, sly prvcatin（狡诈的挑唆） f Brutus t take up arms against the what was the basis fr a discussin f methds f team building and grass rts rganizing.
Althugh neither f the Adelman’s is academically trained in literature, the prgrammers, cntain plenty f Shakespeare traditin and backgrund. Their wrkshp n Henry V, fr example, includes a helpful explanatin f Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle f Agincurt. But they d cme t the text with a few biases（偏向）: their reading f Henry V minimizes his misuse f pwer. Instead, they emphasize the stry f the yuth wh seizes pprtunity and becmes a masterful leader. And at the wrkshp n Caesar, Mr. Adelman’s had little gd t say abut Brutus, saying “the nblest Rman f them all” culdn’t make his mind up abut things.
Many f the participants pinted t very specific elements in the play that they felt t be related. Caesar’s pride, which led t his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitrs after the murder, they said, raise vital questins fr anyne serving as a business when and hw d yu resist the bss?
73．Accrding t paragraph 1, what did all the executives think f Brutus? ________
A．Cruel.B．Superir.C．Hnrable.D．due.
74．Accrding t the passage, the Adelman’s set up “Mvers and Shakespeare’s” t ________.
A．help executives t understand Shakespeare’s plays better
B．give advice n leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s plays
C．prvide case studies f Shakespeare’s plays in literature wrkshps
D．guide gvernment agencies t fllw the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.
75．Why d the Adelman’s cnduct a wrkshp n Henry V? ________
A．T highlight the imprtance f catching pprtunities.
B．T encurage masterful leaders t plan strategies t win.
C．T illustrate the harm f prejudices in management.
D．T warn executives against pwer misuse.
76．It can be inferred frm the passage that ________.
A．the Adelman’s’ prgrammer prves biased as the rles f characters are maximized.
B．executives feel bred with t many specific elements f Shakespeare’s plays.
C．the Adelman’s will make mre prfits if they are prfessinal schlars.
D．Shakespeare has played an imprtant rle in the management field.
77．The best title fr the passage is ________.
A．Shakespeare’s plays: Executives recnsider crprate culture
B．Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key t business success
C．Shakespeare’s plays: a lessn fr business mtivatin
D．Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic results
