The fake goods also hurt business owners who find it hard to keep customers. But information technology is being used to try to stop the problem. Jemima Mwafigu is a 34-year-old businesswoman who sells products like perfume. But in the first year of running her business, she found it hard to keep customers because of counterfeit goods.Ms. Mwafigu says her business has improved since she began using a smart phone application calledBarcode(条码) Scanner. The app is used toauthenticate (验证)products. It checks to make sure the products are not counterfeit. “With this application Im able toscanthe bar codes of each perfume and instantly I get the production date, the expiration date and Im able to know the safety,” she says. “That way, I have confidence in selling to my customers.”In 2010, Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency, or ACA, to fight against illegal trade. The ACA has successfully asked government officials for stronger punishments for counterfeiters.Agnes Karingu is the agencys acting director for research and awareness. She says the ACA is trying to stay one step ahead of those making fake goods.“We are also looking into IT solutions where we can be able to use SMS programs, bar codes and information sharing,” she says. “The end users of the products will actually be able to get the authentication information, and this information comes back to ACA and intellectual property rights holders.”The agency is testing another program called Allvirtuous. The application is another way to find out if a product is real or not by scanning its barcode. The barcode information is sent to a database. Then a result is sent back to the app.The International Chamber of Commerce is a global business organization. It says the value of counterfeit goods produced around the world is expected to be more than $1.7 trillion (万亿) this year.24. Whats the main purpose of this passage? A.

CFinding the Real YouPsychometric testing personality testing has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers.The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking.Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular” personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them.” However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “Its possible to cheat,” admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”So can we change our personality? “Your basic personality is fixed by the time youre 21,” says Gill, “but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didnt have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think its why were seeing this trend for downshifting too many people trying to fit in to a type that they arent really suited for.”Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, youll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.28. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that _.A. personality is largely decided from birthB. certain personality traits are commonC. some personality types are better than othersD. personality traits are various from time to time29. According to Dr. Gill, what is the problem with personality tests?A. The results could be opposite to what employers want.B. People can easily lie about their true abilities.C. Employers often find the results unclear.D. They may have a negative effect on takers.30. In Dr. Gills view, how easy is it to change your personality?A. Its possible in your adult life.B. Its easy if you have great motivation.C. Its unlikely because it requires much energy.D. Its difficult before the age of 21.31. What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?A. They are of doubtful value to employers.B. They are not really worth doing.C. They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities.D. They may encourage greater realism.DEven as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people, said Chris Urmson, director of Googles self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Googles headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. Our software and sensors do all the work, Urmson said. The vehicles will be very basic we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button. The prototype (雏形) are the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who cant drive because of age or illness. Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they dont own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow safety drivers to take control if needed.Google says the cars are safe. The vehicles have sensors that can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections, Urmson said. Were looking forward to learning how the community understands and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle, Urmson said.32. According to Chris Urmson, _.A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humansB. software and sensors are vital for self-driving carsC. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderlyD. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars 33. The passage informs us that self-driving cars _.A. have already passed necessary testsB. have been purchased by some companiesC. will be able to communicate with drivers D. will probably decrease traffic jams34. The underlined word intersections in the last paragraph can probably be replaced _.A. crossings B. buildingsC. vehicles D. accidents35. What is the best title for this passage?A. Googles Self-driving Car Graduates to City StreetsB. Googles Self-driving Car Enjoys Global PopularityC. Self-driving Car Meets New ChallengesD. Self-driving Car Avoids Human Errors 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How northern Europeans beat the winter bluesAsk a child from northern Europe to draw two pictures one on a rainy day and a second in the sunshine and this is what you will get: in the first, as raindrops fall from the top of the page, the man behind the window has an unhappy expression. When a yellow sun sends out some light from the corner, the man is smiling.Northern Europeans associate rain with sadness and sunshine with happiness. They think this is true because they are so aware of how their environment affects them. 36 In October 2008, a group of researchers examined the influence of different daily weather factors, including temperature, wind and sunlight, on 1,200 participants. The conclusion was that good or bad weather had little effect on peoples feelings. 37 A person who is upset on dark or cold days suffers from a negative mood, and he will be likely to experience a sad winter. This is the basis of an illness called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 38 Kalayjian, professor of psychology at Fordham University, advises that we should take steps to strengthen the brains system against weather-driven mood changes. Research on SAD has been focused on the brains response to darkness and light. When our eyes detect darkness, the brain gives off melatonin, which starts sleep cycles. 39 It takes over to help us wake up and feel better when we detect light. “We can encourage people to take charge of their feelings,” says Kalayjian. “We tell them to leave the computers and the indoor games and get out there in the sun. 40 ”A day of rain can potentially destroy your plan and affect your mood. But as the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once said: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.”A. Another chemical called serotonin, however, can make people happy.B
