Analyzing what were looking for on the Web can offer a remarkable (41) into our anxieties and enthusiasms. UK writer and Internet expert Jo

29、hn Battelle wrote on his blog, “This can tell us (42) things about who we are and what we want as a (43) .“ Googles experimental service Google Trends, for example, compares the numbers of people searching for different words and phrases from 2004 to the present. According to these graphs, sometimes

30、 peoples interests are obviously (44) the news agenda: when the Spice Girls announce a reunion, theres an immediate (45) to find out more about them. Other results are strikingly seasonal: people go shopping online for coats in winter and short pants in summer. The most fascinating possibility is th

31、at search data might help (46) peoples behavior. When we search online for a certain brand of stereo system, we are surely indicating were more (47) to buy that brand. Perhaps we search for a political candidates name when we are thinking about (48) him or her. Maybe we even search for “stock market

32、 crash“ or “recession“ just before we start (49) our investments. This information could clearly be useful to a smart marketer-its already how Google decides which (50) to show on its search results pages-or to a political campaign manager. （ A） investigation （ B） insight （ C） consideration （ D） pro

35、st cant be better expressed: “It was an accident waiting to happen.“ 15-year-old Alexa Longueira was wandering along the street in Staten Island, obliviously tapping text messages into her phone as she walked. Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井 ) in her path, and p

36、lunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw sewage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive “really gross, shocking and scary.“ Its not all Longueiras fault. The manhole shouldnt have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been set

37、up near the work site. A worker with New Yorks Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the sewage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the incident. Nonetheless, observers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is cert

38、ainly at fault for failing to secure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would her reaction (that is: anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different? Detachment from o

39、nes environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem-and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone use and text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of serious accidents involving

40、 distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the use of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents. Following

41、a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point? What interested me, at least, is the end of the stow above that Longueira lost a shoe in the sewage. But since other things are not reported as lost, Im guessing she appears to have ma

42、naged to keep her grip on her phone during the accident. 51 By “It was an accident waiting to happen“, New Yorks WCBS meant that _. （ A） the accident should have been avoidable （ B） this kind of accidents happen frequently （ C） somebody was glad to see what would happen （ D） an open manhole is sure

43、a trap for careless pedestrians 52 When the girl fell into the open manhole, she _. （ A） was seriously hurt （ B） was frightened （ C） took a bath in the raw sewage （ D） cried help to the DEP worker 53 According to the author, who was to blame for the accident? （ A） The girl herself. （ B） The DEP work

44、er. （ C） Both of them. （ D） Nobody. 54 According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.? （ A） Talking on a cell phone while driving. （ B） Text messaging while walking across a street. （ C） Operating music players while driving. （ D） Operating game players while walking across

45、a street. 55 The phrase “in the wake of“(Para.5) is closest in meaning to “_“. （ A） in view of （ B） on condition of （ C） as far as （ D） with regard to 56 The author found it funny that the girl had _. （ A） lost a shoe in the sewage in the accident （ B） reported nothing lost after the accident （ C） g

46、ot a firm hold of her phone during the accident （ D） managed to keep herself upright in the manhole 56 According to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding might also help explain the obesity epidemic of a soci

47、ety in which people often sit. Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and alert tests on the computer. After the sessions, the

48、participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased. Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch potatoes. Those who had summarized a text consume

49、d 203 more calories than the resting group. Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work causes much bigger fluctuations in glucose(葡萄糖 ) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking. The researchers figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose-the brains fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物 ) and is supplied to the brain via t
