简答题Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites you've visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. In fact, it's likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen--the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no." When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is" slipping away, and that bothers me." But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(优惠劵). But privacy does matter--at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when It’s gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it. What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked" (Line 3, Para.2 )? A、People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge. B、In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets. C、People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.

We have seen that they now pollute soil, water and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world: We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farmworkers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world. Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that the danger to individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs, " says a wise physician, Dr Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed." Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence "Man…is part of nature" (Para. 1, Lines 3-4)? A、Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature. B、Man acts as if he does not belong to nature. C、Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution. D、Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental effects of pesticides?简答题Model Test Five Passage One College is a place to explore many possibilities；you really can’t do it all-unless you manage your time wisely. Here are some tips I have found very helpful for managing my time and maximizing my study efforts： 1. Determine your goals. What do you want to get out of a college education? Academic(学术的) knowledge? Leadership experience within a club? Decide what is most important to you. Then devote proportionate(成比例的) amounts of time to those efforts. 2. Plan ahead. You may think you Call keep everything in your head, but as the activities on your schedule start piling up, making a schedule can really help organize even little tasks. 3.Study at strategic(关键的) times. Don’t wait until you’re falling asleep to study. Study first. Save those e—mails to check later, because tasks that don’t require much energy and attention can still be done when you’re tired. 4.Motivate(激励) yourself! You know that TV show you’ve been dying to see, or that game of chess you’ve been waiting all week to challenge your friend to. special activities can be used for motivation. Promise yourself that you’ll force yourself to work efficiently. (Don’t rush through the assignment, though.) 5. Take a nap.

Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe (衣柜). “Your memory itself isn’t failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.” Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that. Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available,” he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket. Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important? A、It helps us understand our memory system better. B、It enables us to recall something form our memory. C、It expands our memory capacity considerably. D、It slows down the process of losing our memory.简答题The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that _____ A、a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the work-force B、a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce C、the larger the number of the aged in a population,the higher the proportion of the workforce D、if the population has an evenly spreaded age distribution,the workforce will be lower简答题According to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the man A、hurt the author's feeling.
