the websites youve visited. or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.in fact, its likely that some of these things have already happened to you. who would watch you without your permission? it might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seenthe 21st century equivalent (相等物) of being caught naked.psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. but few boundaries remain. the digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. in some cases, a simple google search can reveal what you think. like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.the key question is does that matter?for many americans, the answer apparently is “no.”when opinion polls ask americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. a survey found a serious depression about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”but people say one thing and do another. only a tiny part of americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the ez-pass system that can track automobile movements. and few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. privacy economist alessanfro. acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender(交出) personal information like social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).but privacy does matterat least sometimes. its like health. when you have it, you dont notice it. only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.24what would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?a. there should be a distance even between friends.b. friends should always be faithful to each other.c. friends should open their hearts to each other.d. there should be fewer disagreements between friends.25why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?a. people leave tracks around when using modern technology.b. modern society has finally developed into an open society.c. there are always people who are curious about others affairs.d. many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities.26 what do most americans do about privacy protection?a. they change behaviors that might disclose their identity.b. they talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.c. they rely more and more on electronic devices.d. they use various loyalty cards for business deals.27 according to the passage, privacy is like health because _.a. its importance is rarely understoodb. people dont treasure it until they lose itc. it is something that can easily be lostd. people will make every effort to keep itcwhats the most important thing in life? peoples answers vary greatly. for british scientist robert edwards, the answer is having a child. nothing is more special than a child, he told the bbc. edwards, the inventor of the in vitro fertilization (ivf) technology-more commonly known as test-tube (试管) baby technology-passed away on april 10, 2013 at the age of 87. edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child, said peter braude, a professor at kings college london. he leaves the world a much better place. edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his phd in genetics. at that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as scary, according to mark sauer, a professor at columbia university, us. edwards and his colleague patrick steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. people said that we should not play god and we should not interfere with nature, edwards once told times. he said that he felt quite alone at the time. but edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing, said sauer. without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. and in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body. the first test-tube baby was born on july 25, 1978. her name was is louise brown. despite peoples safety concerns, brown was just as healthy as other children. ivf had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun, bbc commented. ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to edwards clinic. nowadays, reuters reports, some 4.3 million other test-tube children exist. edwards received a nobel prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by queen elizabeth n the following year. before his death, edwards was still in touch with louise. he is like a granddad to me, she said in an interview with the daily mail.he is a granddad to millions, in fact.28. whats the article mainly about? a. the first test-tube baby. b. a new era in medicine.c. the inventor of ivf technology. d. the changes ivf technology has brought.29. the writer quoted peter braude to . a. show how difficult it was for edwards to do his workb. describe what kind of person edwards wasc. explain why he is loved by all childrend. comment on his achievement30. the underlined word opposition in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to a. attack b. support c. test d. influence31. what is the correct order of events in edwards life?a. he received a nobel prize.b. he struggled to raise funds.c. the first test-tube baby was born.d. he was knighted by queen elizabeth ii.e. he succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.f. he started his experiments on ivf technology.a. f-e-b-c-a- d b. f-b-e-c-d-a c. f-b-e-c-a-d d. f-e-d-a-c-bdurban air pollution is a huge public health issue it kills more than 3 million people every year，according to the latest world health organization estimates.as cities from beijing to paris to sydney focus on reducing car traffic as a way to improve air quality, the city of amsterdam is really ahead of the pack. in about 10 years, gas-powered cars in the city will be banned. their bus fleet will be powered by solar and wind by 2025.while major transportation and infrastructure changes (基础设施的改变）take time, researchers at the wageningen university in the netherlands are testing a more immediate solution: a new type of honeysuckle (金银花）called green junkie(绿色迷）.this new honeysuckle is bred to consume more carbon dioxide - in other words, it eats smog.“the parts of a plant that pick up air pollution out of the air are the hairs, so what theyve changed for this honeysuckle is that theyve made it very, very hairy, emily parry from ams institute, told fastcoexist. the leaves of the plant are bigger and hairier than typical honeysuckle, and they grow more quickly, too. and its fed with a special organic fertilizer made with plant waste collected from the city.it makes sense that plants would be hybridized (杂交)for pollution cleanup of a special kind. many plants absorb pollutionso much so that nasa has long promoted a list of those that can keep indoor air cleanerand many homeowners choose plants that are particularly good at doing so. some grasses and ivy are already used in traffic medians and roadsides specially because they can reduce particulate pollution (颗粒污染）by up to 60 percent.32.by mentioning the solutions of some cities in the second paragraph, the author wants lo express .a. reducing car traffic is an effective way to improve air qualityb. cars will be powered by solar and wind by 2025c. their solutions dont have a quick effect on air pollutiond. gas-powered cars give off a lot of carbon dioxide33.which part of the new honeysuckle can take in smog?a. hair.b. flowers.c. roots.d. waste.34.compared with typical honeysuckle，the new honeysuckle .a. can grow more slowlyb. need animal waste to growc. can grow larger and hairier leavesd. can d decrease more smog by up to 60 percent35. what is the best title for the text?a. a huge public health issueb. is smog more and more terrible?c. cars powered by solar and wind d. can a flower help cities reduce air pollution?第二节

smarter. a new research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching careers. 36 _. jobs that mentally energize employees function as well. the study challenges the commonly held notion that intelligence is stable by the age of about 18. current scientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. 37_.but james flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at the university of otago in new zealand, argues that people can upgrade their own intelligence throughout their lives. he believes intellectual stimulation from others is extremely important as the brain seems to be rather like a muscle. 38_. 39_. so people who share a home or workplace with the simple-minded risk seeing their iq levels drop as a result. professor flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle. 40_. the best way to boost iq levels is to socialize with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.a. however, the contrary is also true b. inspiring family circle where people talk, make jokes and challenge each other can boost iq levels by several points. c. the more you use it, the stronger it gets. d. after this point, iq scores stabilize（稳定）. e. special educational treatments can make a difference. f. children with a low iq could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings. g. this means that people can raise their iq, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节
