sacrificing always putting others interests ahead of his own He is a hard worker who also loves to run and play In short he s an ideal friend and a heroic character Here is the thing Joey is a horse who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg s new film War Horse It is based on Michael Morpurgo s 1982 novel which also caused the same titled Tony Awards winning play The film follows the saga of Joey a racehorse that s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert Jeremy Irvine after Albert s drunk father Ted Peter Mullan overpays for the animal at auction 拍卖会 Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding it relied on a company of easily described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes Like Saving Private Ryan War Horse clings to a series of characters not only Albert but also British officers French civilians and German soldiers who display courage in the face of danger Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane 6 Although none of this covers the fact that we ve seen this stuff elsewhere before the lovely sentiment will steal your heart And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece there will be tears Therefore calling this beautiful dramatically incomplete film Saving Private Joey is entirely justifiable 56 In common with Saving Private Ryan the film War Horse A is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killing B received the title of Tony Awards Winning Play C covers a lot of characters D tells the story happening in the Second World War 57 Which statement is true according to the passage A War Horse is based on the same titled novel by Steven Spielberg B Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people s lives C Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe D Joey came to Albert s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it 58 According to the passage what does the underlined word astoundingastounding mean A astonishing B confusing C satisfying D disappointing 59 What is the best title for the passage A Joey a heroic race horse B Albert and Joey C Saving Private Joey D Spielberg s Joey B B They may be small and not able to speak but babies are proving their amazing cleverness Scientists began finding infants skills are more than they are supposed to be Speaking of music babies can t seem to resist it Not only are their ears turned to the beats babies can actually dance to the music LearningLearning QuicklyQuickly whilewhile SleepingSleeping Babies can learn even while asleep according to a 2011 study In experiments with 26 sleeping infants each just 1 to 2 days old scientists played a musical tone followed by a puff of air to their eyes 200 times over the course of a half hour 124 electrodes 电极 stuck on the head and face of each baby recorded brain activity during the experiments The babies rapidly learned to foretell a puff of air upon hearing the tone showing a four time increase on average in the chances of tightening their eyelids in response to the sound by the end of the experiments As newborns spend most of their time asleep this newfound ability might be 7 crucial to rapidly adapting to the world around them and help to ensure their survival researchers said JudgingJudging CharactersCharacters WellWell Judging another person helpful or harmful is crucial when choosing friends And that ability starts early Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6 and 10 month olds a puppet 木偶 show in which one character helped another climb a hill In another scene a third character pushed the climber down The little ones then got to choose which character they preferred For both age groups most babies chose the helper character This character judging ability could be baby s first step in the formation of morals Hamlin thought 60 Which of the following subtitles can fill in the underlined blank A Dancing to Music B Babies Amazing Abilities C Learning to Dance Quickly D Born to Dance 61 The underlined word it in the third paragraph refers to A the finding B the dancing ability C the response D the baby 62

babies can communicate with others while asleep 63 In the last experiment most babies chose the helper character showing that A babies can judge a person helpful or harmful B babies love to see a puppet show C babies were born to help others D babes have learned to help others C C M Mobile phones are an important business tool for farmers in rural areas But they also put a valuable educational tool in their hands The University of Illinois in the United States has a project called SAWBO Scientific Animations Without Borders It produces educational videos that can be downloaded to cell phones The goal is to help people in developing countries improve their lives One video shows farmers how to make a natural insecticide from neem seeds to prevent insect damage to crops The process starts with sorting and drying the neem fruits Then let the fruit dry in the sun for about three or four days until they become brown Using a mortar 碾槌 and stick the fruits are slightly pounded to remove the shells from the fruits without breaking the seed inside The videos use computer animation 动画 Some of the animated characters are a little funny looking like a farmer with a long nose But the subjects are serious including a health video on preventing cholera 霍乱 Team member Francisco Seufferheld says the information in the videos is meant to be quickly understood He says The information is digested in such a way that in two 8 minutes we can transmit a complex idea The team has made a few videos so far These are available in a total of eighty languages dialects and accents Professor Barry Pittendrigh says there are plans for more videos later this year 64 What is the text mainly about A A best selling mobile phone B A valuable educational project for farmers C United States support for developing countries D A new type of scientist farmer relationship 65 The SAWBO program is introduced in order to A raise farmers standard of living B do some research on mobile phones C develop farmers practical skills D help farmers prevent insect damage to corps 66 The biggest advantage of the program is that it A includes health video on preventing cholera B can be passed to farmers using Bluetooth technology C can be used to sort and dry the neem fruits D is easy for farmers to understand 67 Which of the following words can best take the place of the word pound in the 3rd paragraph A moved B beat C picked D cut D D We might like to think we re not influenced by other people but a new study into the group buying mechanisms 机制 like those used on coupon 优惠券 sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial reveals that telling buyers who come later to the offer how many have already signed up increases the number of purchasers Researchers at the University of Toronto s Rotman School of Management wanted to understand why group buying sites that have entered the market recently have enjoyed greater success than those operating a decade ago such as Mercata and MobShop Earlier attempts typically left potential buyers waiting for days before confirming whether or not they had got the offer they had signed up for We think one of the reasons group buying has been successful recently is because of the short time horizon says Rotman Professor Ming Hu who co wrote the study with Professor Mengze Shi and PhD student Jiahua Wu It allows for a herding effect Another reason is the use of an information structure that discloses to later arrivals how many have already signed onto the deal Researchers looked at two ways of designing the purchasing mechanism for a group buy a simultaneous mechanism where no one knows how many buyers have 9 come before them and a sequential 连续的 mechanism where a second group of buyers has the advantage of knowing the size of the first group The researchers analytical 分析的 model shows the most successful mechanism is the sequential one because it eliminates uncertainty for those coming later to the deal and improves the confidence of those who sign on early as they re able to track the numbers of those who come after them That boosts confidence says Professor Hu who teaches operations management Deals for luxury services versus everyday items work better in a group buy scenario 方案 because they offer consumers a greater benefit 68 It can be learned from the text that A the short time horizon is the reason why group buying has been successful B a simultaneous mechanism is where a group of buyers has the advantage of knowing how many people have signed up C a sequential mechanism allows a herding effect which boosts the confidence of the buyers D researchers at the University of Toronto s Rotman School of Management carried out an experiment about why group buying sites entered the market successfully such as Mercata and MobShop 69 The underlined word eliminates in paragraph 7 probably means A to become or to make something greater in amount number value B to remove or get rid of something C to deliberately not include something in what you are doing or considering D to make something known to somebody 70 What can be the best title for the passage A Secret for marketing success boosting confidence B Secret for group buying mechanism herding effect C Comparison between a simultaneous mechanism and a sequential mechanism D What others do influences our decisions 第二节第二节
