Sherlock Holmes was the greatest detective in history His astonishing power of observation and analysis meant that he was able to solve cases which left the real police completely perplexed As a problem solver in the law forced business he was a knowledgeable person equal to Superman the comic book hero Like Superman of course Holmes did not exist He was the creation of a Scottish doctor and novelist Arthur Conan Doyle and remains one of the most famous literary fiction characters of all time Holmes general rule when trying to solve a case was as follows completely get rid of the impossible Then whatever remains however improbable must be the truth It s said that Holmes powers of deduction 推断 were superhuman particularly his ability to process information from what he observed In a story called The Boscombe Valley Mystery Holmes examines the area near a lake where a murder has been committed The local police have already searched the area and found no clues Holmes spends ten minutes in the area and announces that the murderer is a tall man left handed limps with the right leg wears thick soled shooting boots and a gray coat smokes Indian cigars uses a cigar holder and carries a penknife in his pocket There are several other indications but these may be enough to aid us in our search Needless to say he has found evidence to support all of these statements The fictional Holmes lived in an apartment at 221 Baker Street a real street in Central London When Conan Doyle wrote about Holmes there was no 221 Baker Street but after the street was extended northwards there was There is currently a bank at that address The fact that Holmes didn t actually exist doesn t stop thousands of people writing to him for help every year The bank kindly responds

rang interrupting our conversation There we were walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and I became invisible absent from the conversation The telephone used to connect you to the absent Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent Why is it that the more connected we get the more disconnected I feel Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction 互动 With email and instant messaging over the internet we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another With voice mail you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone If my mom has a question I just leave the answer on her machine As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated 自动化 the alienation index 疏远指数 goes up You can t even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more Directory assistance is almost always fully automated I am not against modern technology I own a cell phone an ATM card a voice mail system and an email account Giving them up isn t wise they re a great help to us It s some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy More and more I find myself hiding behind email to do a job meant for conversation Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn t really have time to talk The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts So I ve put myself on technology restriction no instant messaging with people who live near me no cell phoning in the presence of friends no letting the voice mail pick up when I m at home 25 Which of the following would be the best title of the passage A The Advance of Communications Technology B The Consequences of modern Technology C The Story of

way to reduce human effect on the planet Eating local means to try to buy and consume foods that are grown in places close to home However most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away During the transportation greenhouse 温室 gases are produced causing global warming So the shorter the distance your foods must travel the less the harm is done to the environment But how do you get local food if you live in a large city hundreds of miles away from farms Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a vertical 垂直的 farm A vertical farm is a glass walled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper 摩 天大楼 Since the garden is built upwards rather than outwards it requires much less space than an ordinary farm The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming Vertical farms could be a key to this situation Despommier imagines a 30 story building with a greenhouse on every floor The walls of the building would be clear to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible Depending on a city s water resources Despommier thinks hydroponic 水培的 farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city s waste water and fill it with nutritions to make the crops grow If this method works it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world Scott Stringer a government official from New York City thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming Obviously we don t have much land left for us Stringer said But the sky is the limit in Manhattan Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way he says 33 Why are people advised to eat local A Because it means convenience 方便 to people B Because it can help people save a lot of money C Because local food has more nutrition D Because it is environmentally friendly 34 Which is one of the vertical farm s benefits when compared with ordinary farming A It produces healthier food B It does less harm to the cities C It needs less space of the city D It requires less transport costs 35 By saying the sky is the limit in Manhattan Stringer means A people can make full use of vertical space of Manhattan B there is a limit for using empty land in Manhattan C the height of buildings in Manhattan is limited D Manhattan can spread as far as possible 第二节 共第二节 共 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 分 满分分 满分 10 分 分 根据短文内容 从短文后的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
