The overall 2017 winner will receive a $200 holiday ticket and go on a 16-night wildlife holiday.Doug Scott Guess what the young monk is doing! He is playing with his smart phone in secret. PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Smart phones have taken over the world. Even without the photographers caption there is composition, humor and fun here. To the outsider, he could be having a short sleep, or lost in meditation. My eyes stop on this for a while and the admission of smart phones cannot be changed in any corner of the world.Eloise Campbell I was able to follow this young eagle hunter and his eagle in the mountains of Mongolia and watched how it was trained. Though the bond between them was new, to me it seemed unbreakablethey were coexisting peacefully with each other.Adam Cunningham White This shot grasps the moment when we had to change direction with this group of around 300 migrating reindeer in northern Sweden. They can become confused very quickly, making this moment risky. They could run in different directions immediately, making it difficult to get them back into a group.Nick Dale This is a close-up of the left eye of a zebra. PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Perfect, I have seen these before but rarely done with this competence. The depth of field is exactly right. The bold cropping and blue to the left make people interested. Zebras are easy to photograph but not often this well.56. What does Doug Scott probably want to tell us with his photo?A. The monks life is full of pleasure.B. What we see is not necessarily true.C. The monks mental world should be noticed.D. Smart phones are involved in peoples life worldwide.57. Which of the following statements is true?A.

The picture of migrating reindeer is taken in southern Sweden.D. Nick Dales courage to approach wild animals impresses the judge most.BIn no other time in history information, good and bad, has been spread as fast as today. Media just pushes out violence and cruelty and of course it will affect the minds of people watching. Internet has damaged the idea that love is something special and school social workers are busy teaching teenage boys how to behave in a relationship and girls to say no to things they do not want to do.Quite a lot of studies have been made into the way children are affected by watching TV and other media such games with a high content of violence. In a young age children cannot differentiate themselves and their fantasies from the real world. By playing games that mixes reality with fantasy children learn about themselves and the world. In their games they also act out things they might be considering, their wishes and things they have been through. If a child is let to watch a lot of violence, not surprisingly, the child is very likely to play violent games. Acting out what they have been through is a normal way of trying out new concepts and form ideas about how to interact with other people. Also, up to certain age most children adore adults how ever good or bad they are. Children look upon these adults as role models and copy their behavior.So what happens then if a child watches adults harm and kill each other in a movie or in a game? What adults do is usually OK to do, so what happens on the screen must be OK even if it looks strange and makes the child feel uneasy. Children become insecure and anxious.58Why are children easily affected by TV programs and games?ABecause they easily ignore the directions from their teachers and parentsBBecause TV programs and games are more attractive than their lessons.CBecause they cant tell reality from fantasy and like to act things out.DBecause they cannot find their role models from the real world.59From the passage we can learn that _.Amost people are deeply pessimistic about their futureByoung children get in touch with much content of violenceCeducators fail to teach what is right and what is wrongDfilms on TV are too difficult for children to understand60Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AThe Impact of Media on Children BViolence and Cruelty in GamesCOur Worrying Future DTake Control of ChildrenCWhenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.In Korea the school day is longtypically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All this hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming (填鸭式) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm. Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self-study a night.The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools, to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cutthroat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different.However, there are some similarities in Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have high status in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes cant change quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now, but until the 1970s, Finlands educational system was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation.61The students spend the least time in school in _.Athe UKBFinland Cthe USA DKorea62The underlined phrase “all this hothousing” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to _.Aprivate evening tutoring Bself-study at homeCschool study Dlonghour study 63From Paragraph 3, we can know that _.AFinnish students are less stressed in studyBThere are also many cramming schools in BritainCstudents in Korea are the most competitive in AsiaDBritish schools are less competitive than universities64According to the author, the key to improving education is _.Astar pupils Bthe schooling timeCthe attitude Dnew teaching approachDIn 2009 a new flu virus was discovered. Combining elements of the viruses that cause bird flu and swine flu, this new virus, named H1N1, spread quickly. Within weeks, public health agencies around the world feared a terrible pandemic (流行病) was under way. Some commentators warned of an outbreak on the scale of the 1918 Spanish flu. Worse, no vaccine(疫苗) was readily available. The only hope public health authorities had was to slow its spread. But to do that, they needed to know where it already was.In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) required that doctors inform them of new flu cases. Yet the picture of the pandemic that showed up was always a week or two out of date. People might feel sick for days but wait before consulting a doctor. Relaying the information back to the central organizations took time, and the CDC only figured out the numbers once a week. With a rapidly spreading disease, a two-week lag is an eternity. This delay completely blinded public health agencies at the most urgent moments. Few weeks before the H1N1 virus made headlines, engineers at the Internet giant Google published a paper in Nature. It got experts attention but was overlooked. The authors explained how Google could “predict” the spread of the winter flu, not just nationally, but down to specific regions and even states. Since Google receives more than three billion search queries every day and saves them all, it had plenty of data to work with.Google took the 50 million most common search terms that Americans type and compared the list with CDC data on the spread of seasonal flu between 2003 and 2008. The idea was to identify areas affected by the flu virus by what people searched for on the Internet. Others had tried to do this with Internet search terms, but no one else had as much data-processing power, as Google.While the Googlers guessed that the searches might be aimed at getting flu informationtyping phrases like “medicine for cough and fever”that wasnt the point: they didnt know, and they designed a system that didnt care. All their system did was look for correlations(相关性) between the frequency of certain search queries and the spread of the flu over time and space. In total, they processed 450 million different
