7、o release a new feature on its mobile app that “listens“ to your music and TV shows. If the song or show is recognized by the app, users can publish the information on their profile or to selected friends. The service hopes to take advantage of the “second screen“ trend, which sees fans of TV shows
8、in particular sharing their experiences on social networks. However, some users have privacy concerns. The feature, which will be available in a few weeks“ time, uses the microphones inside users“ smartphones to detect nearby music or TV shows. As the user begins writing a status update, a small ani
9、mated icon will appear at the top of the app. If the app detects the appropriate audio signals and finds a match from its database, the user can then share what he or she is watching or listening to. Facebook says the feature can be turned off at any time, the audio recording is not stored anywhere
10、and the device cannot identify background noise or conversations. “If you share music, your friends can see a 30-second preview of the song. For TV shows, the story in News Feed will highlight the specific season and episode you“re watching,“ Facebook said in a statement. The company hopes this new
11、method of sharing user listening and watching habits will take advantage of the five billion status updates related to TV and music experiences that the social networking giant sees on a yearly basis. However, automating part of the sharing process has left some users suspicious, with Nicole Simon c
12、ommenting on TechCrunch that: “While the idea is nice and technology really interesting, I have no interest in Facebook “observing“ my audio and surrounding. Yes, it starts currently as opt-in, and only on occasion, but there is no trust from my side for even that.“ The BBC understands that this new
13、 feature was not specifically designed to enhance Facebook“s advertising. However, the company could push an advertisement to a user“s phone based on their tracked listening habits. This is in keeping with Facebook“s current approach to advertising, which uses publicly provided information on users“
14、 profiles to push advertisements that are more relevant to each individual user. The basic idea behind Facebook“s feature is not a new onesince 2002 Shazam, which has recently seen a $3 million investment from Sony Music Entertainment, has been providing a similar audio recognition service, with its
15、 website describing itself as “a mobile app that recognizes music and TV around you“. Facebook“s much larger user base could pose a future threat to the comparatively smaller company.（分数：7.00）(1).Nowadays, Facebook can “listen“ to nearby music and TV shows by its app.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not men

Over time, however, I developed some pointers (点子), which I hope will help others. 2During the first few we
19、eks of emotional “aftershocks“ (余悸) from the diagnosis, I found myself unable to utter the word “cancer“. Still, I wanted to share the news with my relatives and friends who already knew that I“d had a biopsy (活检) and were anxiously awaiting my telephone call. I did the best I could, which is all an
20、yone can do in this situation. When I called them, I said, “What we feared has happened.“ They immediately knew what I meant. 3Nearly a year after my diagnosis, I find myself more comfortable telling people “I was diagnosed with cancer“ instead of saying “I have cancer“. On some deep level, I don“t
21、want to “own“ this illness. Choose language that suits you when you share your news. And keep in mind that there is no one “right“ way of doing this. 4Most people, after heating your announcement, will be curious about the next step. They may wonder if you will be undergoing radiation therapy and/or
22、 chemotherapy (化疗). They may wonder where and when you will have surgery. Answer their questions as best as you can, but keep in mind that “I don“t know tight now“ or “I“m still in too much shock to think about that“ are good answers. 5Wait until the initial wave of strong emotions has passed before
23、 telling the children in your life. Don“t overwhelm (使不知所措) very young children with too much information. Assure them that, even if you will be in the hospital for a while, they will see you every day and they will be cared for. Older children may already fear the word “cancer“, so be prepared to r

27、一篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Ford“s Assembly LineWhen it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introduci
28、ng a new way to make carsone, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses (屠宰场). Back in the early 1900s, slaughterhouses used what could have been called a “disassembly line“. Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto
29、 (磁力发动机). Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tell
30、s what happened. “The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assembly team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person.“ Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went a
31、ll the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed (拖，拉) past workers who completed them one piece at a time. It wasn“t long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system
32、 that he cut the price of his cars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers all over the world copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorro
33、w . The Age of the Automobile had arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation, everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true?（分数：3.00）A.He introduced a new way of production.B.He influence
34、d the manufacturing.C.He inspired other auto makers.D.He changed a historian“s mind.(2).The writer mentions “slaughterhouses“ because they were the places where _.（分数：3.00）A.Ford“s assembly line originatedB.Ford made his first carC.Ford readjusted the assembly lineD.Ford innovated the disassembly li
35、ne(3).A magneto is a technical term for _.（分数：3.00）A.an automobileB.a production lineC.a part of an automobile engineD.a disassembly line(4).The word “turning out“ in the fourth paragraph could be best replaced by _.（分数：3.00）A.producingB.sellingC.buyingD.fixing(5).The invention of the assembly line
36、enabled Henry Ford _.（分数：3.00）A.to create more jobs for the unemployeedB.to write a book on historyC.to reduce the price of his cars to $260D.to cut the production of his cars by 50%六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)LibrariesA library is a place to find out about almost anything. In it there are mostly books. Th
37、ere are also pictures, papers, magazines, maps, tapes, and records. Special science and art shows, story hours, movies, plays, and contests may also be held there. Long long ago, a library had only books, and these were hard to get. Books could be written only by hand. There were so few that no one
38、was allowed to take them out of the library. After the printing press was invented, books could be made faster. This helped libraries get more books. To borrow a book to take home today, a person just needs a library card. In many libraries a helper checks the book out. He or she stamps the card. Th
39、e mark shows the date by which the book must be returned. If the book is returned late, the person must usually pay money, called a fine. In some libraries a computer has taken the place of stamping. Books in a library are put into a certain order to help people find what they want. All books about
40、animals may be placed together. Or all stories written by the same person may be placed together. A big set of cards lists all the library“s books in alphabetical order. It is called the card catalog. It tells where each of them can be found. People who live far in the country may find it hard to ge
41、t to a library. For these people there are bookmobiles, which are large trucks filled with books. Each truck travels to many places. All the people have to do meet the truck and choose the books they would like to read.（分数：15.00）(1).What can we find in a library _.（分数：3.00）A.all the books unpublishe
42、dB.all the informationC.records and video tapesD.experimental equipment(2).Why were there only few books in an ancient library?（分数：3.00）A.Because people couldn“t borrow any from it.B.Because books were written by hand and very rare.C.Because they were hard to protect.D.Because they were easily destr
43、oyed.(3).How has the situation changed?（分数：3.00）A.Libraries can get books as many as possible.B.It is quite easy for you to check out books and information by yourself.C.You can borrow books without any regulations.D.It is fairly easy for you to borrow books from libraries.(4).Books in a library are
44、 stored in different orders, such as the order designed according to _.（分数：3.00）A.field of writingB.spelling of titlesC.spelling of writers“ namesD.all of the above(5).Which one is NOT introduced about libraries?（分数：3.00）A.When the first library appeared.B.The history of them.C.The current situation
45、.D.Something about moving libraries.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Superconductor Ceramic (陶瓷)An underground revolution begins this winter. With the flip (轻击) of a switch, 30,000 homes in one part of Detroit will soon become the first in the country to receive electricity transmitted by ice-cold high- perform
46、ance cables. Other American cities are expected to follow Detroit“s example in the years ahead, which could conserve enormous amounts of power. The new electrical cables at the Frisbie power station in Detroit are revolutionary because they are made of superconductors. A superconductor is a material
47、 that transmits electricity with little or no resistance. Resistance is the degree to which a substance resists electric current. All common electrical conductors have a certain amount of electrical resistance. They convert at least some of the electrical energy passing through them into waste heat.
48、 Superconductors don“t. No one understands how superconductivity works. It just does. Making superconductors isn“t easy. A superconductor material has to be cooled to an extremely low temperature to lose its resistance. The first superconductors, made more than 50 years ago, had to be cooled to -263
49、 degrees Celsius before they lost their resistance. Newer superconducting materials lose their resistance at -143 degrees Celsius. The superconductors cable installed at the Frisbie station is made of a ceramic material that contains copper, oxygen, bismuth (铋), strontium (锶), and calcium (钙). A ceramic is a hard, strong compound made from clay or minerals. The superconducting ceramic has been fashioned into a tape that is wrapped lengthwise around a long tube filled with liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is super cold and lowers the temperature of the ceram
