They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.‎ The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.‎ The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life,” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special,” said marketing director Margaret Jobling.‎ The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.‎ ‎21.Instagram probably is_______________.‎ A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of “Food for Life”‎ C. a new marketing project D. a program used to share photos ‎22. “The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_____________.‎ A. raise the price of frozen food B. attract more customers C. create a new social media trend D. reward the regular customers ‎23. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?‎ A. No Need to Pay. B. The Pop-up Diner.‎ C. Pay by Picture. D. Food for Life.‎ B ‎ Every day born a decade from now will have its genetic code(基因编码)mapped at birth, the head of the world’s leading genome sequencing(基因图谱)company has predicted.‎ ‎ A complete DNA read – out for every newborn will be technically possible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in healthcare, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants’ genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times.‎ This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively.‎ A baby’s genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a person’s genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill.‎ Personal genomes could also be used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side – effects.‎ The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals’ genetic records.‎ ‎“Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone – and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley.‎ ‎“People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably can’t be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible”, he added.‎ As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain.‎ ‎24. In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about__________.‎ ‎      A. the significant progress in medicine      ‎ ‎       B. the promise of a leading company ‎       C. the information of babies’ genes    ‎ ‎       D. the research of medical scientists ‎25. Which of the following is a problem caused by this approach?‎ ‎       A. The delaying in discovering DNA.‎ ‎       B. The risk of developing diseases at birth.‎ ‎       C. The side effects of medicine on patients.‎ ‎       D. The letting out of personal genetic information.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined sentence “… this horse is out of the barn” mean?‎ ‎       A. Genetic mapping technique has been widely used.‎ ‎       B. people can’t stop genetic mapping technique advancing.‎ ‎       C. People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique.‎ ‎       D. Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control.‎ ‎27. What’s Dr Flatley’s attitude towards the technology?‎ ‎       A. Tolerant.   B. Conservative.   C. Positive.   D. Doubtful.‎ C ‎ Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨) of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list. At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles(过道) . With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat. Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish(美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the ‎ Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store. 28. What do many single people in Pairs complain about?‎ A. The difficulty in meeting people. B. The idea of supermarket dating. C. The items on their grocery list. D. The inconvenience in shopping.‎ ‎29. Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?‎ A. The dating supermarket is located in Paris. B. The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings. C. People looking for love must get a basket of a particular color D. The dating supermarket has very good business.‎ ‎30. How do love shoppers meet one another?‎ A. They schedule their meeting in advance. B. They go through a special checkout. C. They pick out their groceries with great care. D. They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.‎ ‎31.Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?‎ A. The supermarket dating is more convenient. B. The supermarket dating is more casual. C. The supermarket dating can be trusted more. D. The supermarket dating is less expensive.‎ D Imagine that you’re looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedln: “These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You aren’t necessarily searching for a job, but you’re always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the ‎ link. A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. “We’ve noticed that you’re spending more time on Linkedln lately, so I wanted to talk with you about your career and whether you’re happy here,” she says. Uh-oh.‎ It’s an awkward scene. Attrition (损耗）has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets. Thus companies are intensifying(增强）their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them. Tactics (策略）range from electronic monitor to sophisticated(复杂的）analyses of employees’ social media lives.‎ Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit. In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.‎ New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at when. “We’ve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they’re doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life, says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB’s HR practice. “We’ve learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons.”‎ Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things. Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes(浏览痕迹)---- employees’ use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage---to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job.‎ ‎32. From the first paragraph, we can infer Linkedln is___________.‎ A. an e-mail B. a job from the Internet C. a professional social network D. a world-famous company ‎33. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?‎ A. The cost of losing good workers is rising.‎ B. Companies are stricter with workers than before.‎ C. Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit.‎ D. Finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers.‎ ‎34. According to the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs?‎ A. They don’t like their bosses. B. Workers are always doing comparisons.‎ C. Not seeing opportunities for promotion. D. To find a higher-paid job.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To make a review on a phenomenon. B. To tell us the leader’s concerns.‎ C. To show a new trend in the job market. D. To stress the role of new technologies. ‎ 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ E ‎ The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username/password combinations to log in different kinds of account. Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits, while others require you to change your password every 60 days. The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing these login information has grown so common that it actually has a name: password fatigue(疲劳).  Having to remember so many different passwords is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. Because it is virtually impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts, many people leave handwritten lists of usernames and passwords on or next to their computers.   36     While these practices make it easier to remember login information, they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts.  Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem. With SSO, users only need to remember one password to log in to the main system. 37   SSO software is typically used by large companies, schools, or libraries.    38   If a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software, the user will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account. Users who rely on password management software face the same problems.  Although most websites or network systems allow users to recover or change lost passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt（提示）, this process can waste time and cause further frustration. What is more, recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary ‎ solution. 39    Some computer scientists have suggested computers rely on biometrics(生物测定学).   40   The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be expensive to practice. ‎ ‎  Software engineers and computer security experts are still searching for the cure to password fatigue. Until they find the perfect solution, however, everyone will simply have to rely on the password system currently in place.  A. It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue. B. These software programs have been built into many major web browsers  C. The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless.  D. The SSO software then automatically logs the user in to other accounts within the system. E. However, SSO confirmation and password management software also have drawbacks. F. This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits, such as fingerprints, voice, or DNA.  G. Others solve this problem by using the same password for every account or using extremely simple passwords.‎ 第三部分：语言运用 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ ‎ As I turned off one of the main roads the other day, I noticed something unusual in the parking lot the grocery store.‎ There’s a wide grassy land in front of their parking lot, where 41_often put up signs announcing their yard sales or events, but the 42_in front of me was worthy of a double-take.
