12、ollowed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANS H ER SHEET.Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be contained or processed by any one machine
13、 or person. As a student at the University of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would ever earn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google and
14、Facebook.Daillys research company, Morar Consulting, started three years ago with five employees. The companys earnings have increased by 25 % each year. It now employs 90 people. What we do here is we try to discover whats meaningful for people and Link that to their economic behavior,” Dailly said
15、.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills. We have people from traditional research backgrounds, in addition to some in social sciences, economics, people from tech backgrounds, and sales people, Dailly said.Companies like Daillys employ recent college graduates. The indu
16、stry profits from the ideas of these young men and women. New forms of data also make it possible for some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than the traditional forms of data recording or reporting.We have access to the core information inside peoples heads, Daill
17、y said. They tell you what people are going to do as opposed to what theyve done. That helps people take proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy. Julian Dailly dismisses concerns that computers have finally taken control of our daily lives. Some may worry that humans wi

20、radition20. According to Dailly, the idea that humans may be replaced by machines _.A.is a wise warning B. is pure imaginationC. may come true D. needs further studyPassage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may not stand for more than a year Hariette Thompso
21、n, 92, said that she hasnt ruled out running the Rockn Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Hariette finished in 7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of 7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult year bet
22、ween marathons. I couldnt train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg, Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon,Tells the AP.I was just really thrilled that I could finish
23、 today.At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon. “I cant believe I made it,” Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer. I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 2 1, I was going up a hill and it was like a mountain
24、, and I was thinking, This is sort of crazy at my age. I cant do it. But then I felt better coming down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonder (碳水化合物)that kept me going.” Thompsonwhose parents, three brothers, and husband all died of cancer-tells the Observer that the San Diego
25、 marathons fundraising for the Leukemia (白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again next year.21. What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?A.

28、 Raising money for cancer treatment D. Living up to her own promise.Passage ThreeBefore the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum and the
29、 ditches are full of discarded fast food packets. Years ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a
30、lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth(下层灌木) for years.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solution to thi
31、s. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not h
32、ave bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, both individual and collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have
33、 a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by rubbish, they behave like rubbish. Now, much of Britain look
34、s pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?26. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Plastic Bags B. Environment ProtectionD. Rubbish Disposal C. Dirty Britain27. The plastics industry in Britain protested because _. A. a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB. supermar
35、kets no longer gave away plastic bagsC. they were blamed for causing plastic pollutionD. the government did not support them28. The expression sliding downhill (Para.4) probably means_”A. working hard to reduce rubbishB. producing more plastic bagsC. encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making t
36、hings worse by taking no action29. Which of the following best describes the authors outlook on the environment?A. Optimistic. B. Confused.C. Concerned. D. Indifferent.30. The purpose of the article is to _. A. encourage the public to take action against rubbishB. discourage people from supporting t
37、he plastics industryC. call on the government to protect the environmentD. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bagsPassage FourThose who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda,
38、 and a chairman. All those present will have their say, after which their remarks are discussed.He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to, will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who do
39、es not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important, or that he apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore, he might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting. Those who are present show an interest in the p
40、roblems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thus declare themselves co-responsible”. The Dutch, in their final conclusions, like to use such metaphors as We are all in one line or “Our noses are pointing in the same direction again.”If you present a decision, you wi
41、ll find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of
42、a plan. As a result, the plan will be a joint approach.This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become a team. The amount of time that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency, once everyone goes back to work. Statistics show Dutch employees are a
43、mong the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.31. According to Paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to _. A. be held usually for important issueB. waste a lot of time in fruitless discussionC. enable employees to know each other betterD. be good occasions for employees to show t
44、heir talent32. To Dutch employees, one who is absent from a meeting _.A. does not take his colleagues seriousB. may have something more urgent to doC. does not miss much critical informationD. may have nothing to say at the meeting33. According to Paragraph 3, why cant Dutch employees come to a quic
45、k decision?A. People are constantly in dispute.B. An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.C. Suggestions often lead nowhere.D. People often forget the aims of meetings.34. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. Many leaders in the world are Dutch.B. Dutch employees are highly productive.C. Dutc
46、h companies are the most successful in the world.D. Dutch employees work hardest in the world.35. The authors attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quiteA. unclear B. negative C. positive D. neutralPart II Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part
