Which of the following people is most suited to the literacy program?‎ A. Judy, local library staff, free every evening B. Heidi, babysitter, cannot read, free on weekends C. Molly, English teacher, available on weekday afternoons D. Ted, part-time programmer, available on weekday mornings B What if one day Facebook, Twitter and Instant Messenger just weren’t there?‎ Provost Eric Darr of Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Pennsylvania tells NPR’s (National Public Radio) Guy Raz that he wanted his students to not only think about this question, but live it.‎ ‎“Often there are behaviors, habits, ways we use technology that we may ourselves not even be able to express clearly because we’re not aware of them,” Darr says.‎ So this week, Darr will enforce a campus-wide social media blackout — no Facebook, no Twitter, no instant messaging — nothing.‎ Social Media Exile Access to these popular social media tools will be blocked from campus computers through the week. This is not a disciplinary (纪律上的) exercise, Darr says, but an academic one. At the end of the week, students will write reflective essays about their time without social media.‎ Three Harrisburg University students, Ashley Harris, Gio Acosta and Oluyemi Afuape, volunteered to discuss the experiment, and it turns out they have mixed feelings.‎ Afuape isn’t a big fan of Facebook, and says he doesn’t expect to be challenged by the blackout. But Harris is going to have a hard time not posting her whereabouts to friends.‎ ‎“My biggest problem is not being able to find people,’’ Harris says, “because I use Facebook and Twitter to find people at school, to see where they’re at.”‎ Even before hearing about the blackout, Acosta found it necessary to cut himself off the constant social media chatter.‎ ‎“I had my phone set to receive Facebook, texts, tweets — and ring — so I had to turn that off between 3 and 6 in the morning so I can actually sleep during that time” Acosta says. “If you don’t set the limits, it’s a 24-hour thing.”‎ Hope From The ‘Post-Facebook’ Generation Outspoken social media critic Jaron Lanier (who was also named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of the year) says Harrisburg University’s experiment may be too extreme. He would prefer that students donate a penny to charity every time they access social media.‎ ‎“Because that would create awareness, they would be aware of how much they were doing,” Lanier says, “making the use of it into something that’s more conscious and more considered.”‎ Lanier is mainly worried that social media creates superficial ties rather than lasting friendship. But he says he’s optimistic about the “post-Facebook generation” — teenagers he hears from in high schools who don’t identify with Facebook.‎ Lanier hopes this generation will spark something of a renaissance (新生), declaring, “No, we are individuals; we invent ourselves; we’re not going to have some third-party advertising business define us. We invent our own taste, and furthermore, we decide what friendship means.”‎ ‎53. What do the underlined words “live it” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?‎ A. Making a living without the Internet. ‎ B. Leading a life without social media.‎ C. Experiencing the popularity of social media. ‎ D. Being aware of the importance of technology.‎ ‎54. What do we know about the cutoff experiment?‎ A. The experiment lasted a week and was very successful.‎ B. Only three students participated in the experiment.‎ C. The participants had terrible feelings toward the cutoff.‎ D. The experiment had something to do with students’ schoolwork.‎ ‎55. What is Lanier’s opinion about the experiment?‎ A. The university should do the experiment in a more moderate way.‎ B. The experiment should include the “post-Facebook generation”.‎ C. Students should donate some money to the experiment.‎ D. The experiment can make the students more conscious and considered.‎ ‎56. What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A. The disadvantages of social media. ‎ B. Some people’s views on social media.‎ C. A university’s experiment on social media. ‎ D. Challenges to the “post-Facebook generation”.‎ C During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.‎ ‎ Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.‎ ‎ During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of ‎ history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffé College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.‎ ‎ Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the "great women" theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on "great men." To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women's right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published. ‎ ‎57. What does the passage mainly discuss?‎ A.The role of literature in early American histories B.The place of American women in written histories C.The keen sense of history shown by American women D.The "great women" approach to history used by American historians ‎58. In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that_____.‎ A.a woman's status was changed by marriage B. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored C.only three women were able to get their writing published D.poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women ‎59. On the basis of information in the third paragraph, which of the following would most likely have been collected by nineteenth-century feminist organizations?‎ A.Newspaper accounts of presidential election results B.Biographies of John Adams C.Letters from a mother to a daughter advising her how to handle a family problem D.Books about famous graduates of the country's first college D One evening at a busy Broadway intersection, I noticed a sister struggling to keep her little kid in check while she talked on the pay phone. She wanted him to stay still next to her, but he wanted to run and play at the roadside, close to rushing buses and taxis. One could sense the woman’s frustration, that she was pulled in too many directions: She was angry at the person on the telephone and shouting at the younger that she would “snap his leg” if he moved again. As I waited for the traffic light to change, the child began to complain and struggle to free himself from the woman’s grip. She dropped the phone, seized the neck of his tiny T-shirt and gave him a back-hand blow across the face that I know made his little head spin.‎ The light changed, and passersby continued on their way. But I stood there, fixed to the pavement. I knew this extremely upset woman would follow through on her threat of violence to the child. Before, I had wanted to approach her and offer to watch the youngster while she dealt with the distressing situation on the phone. Now I wanted to comfort the little boy. I also wanted to speak to the sister to calm her and to caution her, as I wish someone had cautioned me when I was passing my pain on to my daughter and causing her emotional suffering. But I was chicken. I thought, she may think I’m out of line, or I may be her next target.‎ Often I’ve thought about that child and the many others abused by adults. I wonder how they will internalize (使……藏在心底) their pain, if it will crush their spirits. Will this little boy grow up to be an abusive man? Will he be gloomy and withdrawn? Will he find it hard to communicate with women, with other men? Or will he survive and be sensitive, caring and determined not to continue the cycle?‎ There is too much cruelty in the world, too much cruelty between people. I tremble at the increasing verbal bitterness and violence among Black girls, and among young mothers trying to discipline their children. This behavior isn’t class- or age- related: I hear sharp words from Black women from all walks of life who are overworked and stressed out and have grown impatient. At times I, too, become short with others, or, like the ‎ sister on the phone, strike out at those closest to me.‎ Often we’re tired because we’ve made the wrong choices. Young girls who still need mothering are loaded with children. We, sisters easily get hurt and annoyed when we don’t come to terms with our own sense of self. Our personal fulfillment requires knowing what is best for us, setting oar boundaries and keeping them undamaged. We will always be asked to do more than we are comfortable doing. When we know our boundaries, we can decline comfortably. People — and we ourselves — will act in ways we don’t like. But they, like us，are still worthy of love.‎ Whatever irritates (激怒) us about a person should be examined. Is the person reflecting behavior in us that needs to be changed? Often, when I find people irritating, I find they mirror something about me that I need to correct.‎ What’s needed in our personal relationships is a return to tenderness and tolerance. We must allow one another our learning experiences. Just as violence results to violence, verbal violence — the hard words and harsh tones we use to release inner stress — adds to the distance between us.‎ What we people of African root must do to thrive begins with love, sensitivity and our ability to work together. We Black women have these spiritual resources in abundance. Now we must draw on them to create a peaceful place — for ourselves, our children, our men.‎ ‎60. The scene the author described in the passage probably happened.‎ A. in a phone booth B. at a bus stop C. near a taxi stand D. on the street ‎61. The mother of the little kid can be best described as .‎ A. frustrated and hot-tempered B. cruel and talkative C. confused and quick-minded D. considerate and sensitive ‎62. By saying “She may think I am out of line”, the author meant the woman might say .‎ A. “Walk away. It’s none of your business.”‎ B. “You are walking in the wrong direction.”‎ C. “You’re not standing in the queue.”‎ D. “You can watch and comfort my kid.”‎ ‎63. The wrong choices in Paragraph 5 include .‎ a. We sisters refuse to marry young.‎ b. We aren’t satisfied with ourselves.‎ c. We have our boundaries damaged.‎ d. We decline others’ requests for help.‎ A. a, b B. b, c C. a, d D. c, d ‎64. According to the author，when we find a person irritating, we should.‎ A. return to tenderness and toleranceB. reflect on our behavior that needs correcting C. avoid the hard words and sharp tonesD. examine if anything is wrong with him ‎65. The tone of the last paragraph is.‎ A. critical B. pessimistic C. optimistic D. objective 第II卷（三部分；共40分）‎ 第四部分 单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎66.

The most common way to get a translation done is to go through a translation agency or a translator. But the past few years have seen the appearance of a new type of translators: machine translators. Nowadays a person can point his smartphone at a sign in downtown Japan and a machine translation app will display the text on the sign in English. So, with such advanced technology being created, the question arises, win human translators will be jobless in future?‎ When talking about Machine Translations we all think of Google Translate first, for one thing, it is the most famous one with more than 500 million users worldwide. It is a huge number compared to human translators: over 330,000 translators internationally which is just 0.0045% of the world population. Google Translate translates 100 billion words per day, that is, 41,666,666 words per hour, in comparison 250 words per hour are translated by professionals. On average human translation of 1 word equals to $0.11, which means that if we gave the job done by Google Translate to professionals they would have daily jobs of 10,000 words which multiplied by $0.11 is $ 1100 a day.‎ It seems that machine translators have taken the lead in the competition with humans. However, not everything in the garden is rose. Not every language is offered by machine translation tools: while Google's translation gives plenty of languages, what if your required language isn't on the list?‎ The biggest complaint regarding machine translation is that it may even basically provide a literal, word-for-word translation. The translation, even though it may be comprehensible, will not sound natural at all, will not be well-structured and may not keep the original meaning. In a contest held by a Korean university, Google Translate went up against a group of human translators. Google's translations only scored a 28 out of 60 possible points while the humans scored much better, with a high score of 49 out of 60.‎ Unlike a machine, when doing translation, a human translator must take into account ‎ the style of the source text: context, humor, irony, and idiomatic expressions. Missing the spirit and aesthetic(美学的)character of the source text is less excusable than a few errors in translation of words. Content that is targeted to a specific audience requires a more comprehensive understanding of the messaging. Unlike machines, humans understand when to be literal and when to paraphrase(意译)for their audience.‎ Machine translating technology is getting better day by day, but it has a long way to go before being perfect. It is likely that in the future human translators will work alongside machine translators and use the software produced translation as an aid or a guide, in order to produce their own translations. But only if we provide improvement.‎ Will Machine Translation 76▲Human Translation?‎ ‎77▲of human translation Only a small number of people can have78▲to human translators.‎ Human are slower than machines in completing Translation.‎ Human translation is79▲compared with machine translation.‎ Challenges facing machine translation The languages that machine translators can translate are ___80▲___.‎ Machine translators may not convey the original meaning ___81▲___ .‎ Human translators are better in preserving the82▲of the source text than machine translators.‎ Machine translators cannot83▲their translation to a specific audience.‎ Conclusion Machine translators may ___84▲___ humans with translation work , but humans need to85▲it up.‎ 第六部分：书面表达（满分20分）‎ A group of frogs were traveling through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep ‎ pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn't listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what the other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.‎ The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.‎ There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words—anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times.

So words have powerful effects on people's attitude towards life.‎ We use words every day but not all of us realize their powerful influence. A student will spare no efforts to study because of others' inspiring words. On the contrary, if he is told that there is no possibility for him to succeed, he may really give up and end up as a failure totally.‎ My friend Mary had a traffic accident and got severely hurt. Though the chances for her recovery were little, her mother decided to tell a lie in order to cheer her up. It was the power of words that actually helped her stand up and walk again.‎ In conclusion, when faced with negative and discouraging remarks, we ought to turn a deaf ear to them as they will destroy our hope and faith. What matters more to us are those positive words that make us highly inspired and motivated. In the meantime, give our positive words to people around us because they will give us theirs in return.‎ 附听力材料 Text 1‎ W: I arrived in London by train yesterday and will fly to Barcelona tomorrow..‎ M: Flying across the English Channel is wonderful, especially when the weather is fine.‎ Text 2‎ M: Did the train to Shanghai leave ten minutes ago?‎ W: That’s right.
