17、t at least， man is nothing more than a memory - if there is anything left to remember thewise man But what about our wisdom -will any of it survive us？The conventional answer is no Knowledge requires a knower， and there will be no knowing minds around then But if information survives， perhaps in boo

18、ks or hard drives， maybe the knowledge isnt quite dead but dormant （休眠）， ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit Earth in the distant futureAt first sight， that seems to be reasonable： after all， we have done similar things with past knowledge For e

19、xample， we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece， and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics（象形文字） Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to lifeHowever， the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity wit

20、h those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark： we know we are dealing with the legacy （遗赠） of other humansWithout that link， the survival of objects and raw data doesnt guarantee the survival of knowledgeAnd a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence

21、 would be a barrier Knowledge is closely connected with language When a language dies out， we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain If thats lost， then it cant be recoveredAll this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone It is better to

The dif

25、ference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sale

26、s and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. Whats more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.How did they disobey

27、 the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deli

28、ver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-companies with strategic speed always made changes when n

29、ecessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didnt develo

30、p team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come

31、 from the top.1、What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?AGet an advantage. BIncrease the speed.CReach the limit. DSet a goal.2、The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means _.Aspending more time and performing worseBspending more time and performing

32、 betterCspending less time and performing worseDspending less time and performing better3、What can we learn from the text?AHow fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.BHow competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.CFirms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.DFirms

33、 guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.4、According to the author, what is the key to deciding strategic speed?APausing at key moments.BThe size of company.CThe boss.DThe quality of the products.5、Which could be the best title for the text?AImprove quality? Serve bett

Recently, a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea, killing 62 people so far. It leads to high fever, bleeding an

35、d so on. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected (感染), especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coa

36、st, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats, which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood. Humans who are suffering from the E

37、bola infection might have touched the bodily fluids (体液) of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the effects of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affe

38、cting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakrythe capital city of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus. It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.Un

39、fortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola. Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some

40、 cases, not even allowed to get close to the infected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.1、From the text we know that _.AEbola is naturally found in fruitBEbola is a highly infectious virusCEbola is a newly discovered diseaseDE

41、bola is recently controlled in Guinea2、What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AThe causes of Ebola. BThe origin of Ebola.CThe treatment for Ebola. DThe influences of Ebola.3、In Ebola infected areas, healthcare workers _.Aface the danger of catching virusBtake measures to protect the nursesCgive water and

42、medicine to the patientsDdo whatever they can to save the infected4、The text probably comes from _.Aan English newspaper Ba tourist guideCa safety brochure Da medical report25（10分）Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”It turns

43、out that reading doesnt only help us to tolerate existence，but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers，published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine，concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follo

44、wup compared to nonreaders”The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging.The study looked at 3,635 subjects，all older than 50，whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didnt read books，those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more th

45、an 3.5 hours a week.The findings were remarkable：on average，book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didnt crack open a book.The more the subjects read，the longer they lived，but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as

46、 education level，income and health status，the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12year period.Those who read up to 3.5 hoursan average of a half hour a daywere 17 percent less likely.“In other words，just like a healthy diet and

47、exercise，books appear to promote a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.Why or how thats_the_case remains unclear；the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity，not a causal relationship.But the findings are not so surprising.Other recent research showed

48、 that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.1、Why does the author mention Flauberts words in the first paragraph?ATo stress the value of reading.BTo compare reading with a party.CTo introduce the study on reading.DTo support the findings of the study.2、From the text

49、，what can we learn about the study?ANo similar study on reading has been carried out.BThe process of the study lasted more than ten years.CIt shows readers live two years longer than nonreaders.DIt shows time spent on reading increases ones love for it.3、What do the underlined words“thats the case”p

50、robably mean?AReading books enables people to live longer.BReading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.CReading books is closely associated with longevity.DReading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.4、Where can we most probably read this text?Ahttps：/lifeandstyle/family.Bhttps：/b/books/

She was _36_ the most pow

52、erful individual I had ever met. I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie _37_ in California. Our class had already been going for quite some time when _38_, supported by metal crutches(拐杖), _39_ herself in. Chris had cerebral palsy(大脑性麻痹). She had much _40_ in communicating wit

53、h others. This was not due to _41_ of desire, but because most of her twenty-one years of life she had been kept in a room with no more than Elvis records and tapes to _42_ her. No one had taken the time to assist her in developing the ability to _43_. It was Bonnie, her present caretaker, who _44_

54、there was much more to Chris than anyone else could see. When asked by the instructor what her goal _45_ the twelve-week course was, Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and _46_ in the process. For most of her _47_ nobody would listen to her. The only way she knew to get someone to _48_

55、 was through temper outbursts(发脾气). With Bonnie as her interpreter, Chris conveyed that her _49_ was to be able to stand by herself in front of forty-five people and tell us about herself. On the twelfth week, Chris stood in front of the room and _50_ with us, in her own words, what her life had bee

56、n like. It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever _51_. Though as a girl who had in many ways been _52_, she believed that she could _53_ more in her life and she did. And she also had the love and support of forty-five friends, who, just weeks before, had been _54_ st

57、rangers. What we all witnessed through Chris courage is that life is _55_ moment by moment, based on our beliefs, which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.1、AluckilyBnaturallyCformallyDprobably2、AbreakBcourseChouseDcha
