Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
How to help your kids find a purpose? You don’t have to start with the really big questions. Quick, what’s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn’t __41__ our kids don’t have questions or need answers.
“The sense that your personal life is __42__ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger,director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that,it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more __43__, more caring, more helpful, more resilient (坚初), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.
But helping your kids find meaning doesn’t mean parents have to __44__ all life’s ancient mysteries, Steger says. The __45__ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.
“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We can start with trying to __46__ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”
With kids in __47__ school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they __48__.” To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, “You can ask questions about what they think their best __49__ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt __50__ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kid’s __51__ way of being in and contributing to the world.”
In middle school, says Steger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be __52__ different from the ones they have always assumed were true.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children’s sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been __53__.
By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about __54__.” But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have __55__, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The Paris climate agreement finalised in December last year heralded a new era for climate action. For the first time, the world’s nations agreed to keep global
warming well below2℃.
This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than 4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. In a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, we reveal just how deep this injustice runs. Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate “free-riders”: causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurring few of the costs such as climate change’s impact on food and water. In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.
On the flip side, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, the majority of which are African of small island states, produce a very small quantity of emissions. This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.
The Pairs agreement has been widely hailed as a positive step forward in addressing climate change for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as sketchy.
The goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below”2℃ is commendable but the emissions-reduction pledges submitted by countries leading up to the Pairs talks are very unlikely to deliver on this.
More than $100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions. However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions. There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. Securing these funds, and establishing who is responsible for raising them will also be vital for the future of climate-vulnerable countries.
The most climate-vulnerable countries in the world have contributed very little to creating the global disease from which they now suffer the most. There must urgently be a meaningful mobilisation of the polices outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emission reductions while helping the most vulnerable countries
adapt to climate change.
And it is clearly up to the current generation of leaders from high-emitting nations to decide whether they want to be remembered as climate change tyrants or pioneers.
56. The author is critical of the Paris climate agreement because__________. A) it is unfair to those climate-vulnerable nations B) it aims to keep temperature rise below 2℃ only C) it is beneficial to only fewer than 4% of countries
D) it burdens developed countries with the sole responsibility.
57.Why does the author compare the “forced riders” to second-hand smokers? A) They have little responsibility for public health problems. B) They are vulnerable to unhealthy environmental conditions. C) They have to bear consequences they are not responsible for. D) They are unaware of the potential risks they are confronting. 58.What does the author say about the $100 billion funding? A) It will motivate all nations to reduce carbon emissions. B) There is no final agreement on where it will come from. C) There is no clarification of how the money will be spent. D) It will effectively reduce greenhouse emissions worldwide.
59. What urgent action must be taken to realize the Paris climate agreement? A) Encouraging high-emitting nations to take the initiative. B) Calling on all the nations concerned to make joint efforts. C) Pushing the current world leaders to come to a consensus. D) Putting in effect the policies in the agreement at once. 【题型】阅读理解

56. A it is unfair to those climate-vulnerable nations
细节题。根据题目可以定位到原文第五段The Pairs agreement has been widely hailed as a positive step forward in addressing climate change for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as sketchy. Although之前
的意思是对巴黎协定的肯定,认为巴黎协定被称赞为应对气候改变的积极的一步,although之后是对巴黎协定的否定,认为巴黎协定只是粗略地谈到了气候平等。因此A 选项是正确选项。
57.C They hardly pay anything for the problems they have caused.
细节题。根据题目和关键词free-riders可以定位到原文第三段对“free-riders”的解释:causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurring few of the costs such as climate change’s impact on food and water. 即(发达国家)通过大量地排放温室气体,引起了大部分的问题,然而遭受了很少的损失,比如气候变化对食品和水造成的影响。C选项中cause 和原句causing对应,hardly pay anything 和incurring few of the costs 对应。
58.B There is no final agreement on where it will come from.
细节题。根据题目可以定位到原文第七段,There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. 其中B选项中no final agreement 和very little detail 对应,Where it will come from 和who will provide the funds对应。
59. D putting in effect the policies in the agreement at once.
细节题。根据关键词urgent可以定位到原文第八段,There must urgently be a meaningful mobilisation of the polices outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emission reductions, 其中D选项中put into effect the polices 与mobilisation of the polices对应。

With the coming of big data age, data science is supposed to be starved for, of which the adaption can point a profound change in corporate competitiveness. Companies, both born-in the digital era and traditional world are showing off their skills in data science. Therefore, it seems to have been creating a great demand for the experts of this type.
Mr Carlos Guestrin, machine learning professor from University of Washington argues that all software applications will need inbuilt intelligence within five years, making data scientists—people trained to analyze large bodies of information — key workers in this emerging “cognitive” technology economy. There are already critical applications that depend on machine learning, a subfield of data science, led by recommendation programs, fraud detection system, forecasting tools and applications for predicting customer behavior.
Many companies that are born digital—particularly internet companies that have a great number of real-time customer interactions to handle—are all-in when it comes to data science. Pinterest, for instance, maintains more than 100 machine learning models that could be applied to different classes of problems, and it constantly fields request from managers eager to use this resource to deal with their business problem.
The most important factor weighing on many traditional companies will be the high cost of launching a serious machine-learning operation. Netflix is estimated to spend $150m a year on a single application and the total bills is probably four times that once all its uses of the technology are taken into account.
Another problem for many non-technology companies is talent.Of the computer science experts who use Kaggle, only about 1000 have deep learning skills, compared to 100,000 who can apply other machine learning techniques, says Mr Goldbloom. He adds that even some big companies of this type are often reluctant to expend their pay scales to hire the top talent in this field.
A third barrier to adapting to the coming era of “smart” applications, however, is likely to be cultural. Some companies, such as General Electric, have been building their own Silicon Valley presence to attract and develop the digital skills they will need.
Despite the obstacles, some many master this difficult transition.But companies that were built, from the beginning, with data science at their center, are likely to represent serious competition.
60. What cannot be inferred from the passage about the machine learning ? A. Machine learning operations are costly in Netflix.
B. Machine learning plays an important role in existent applications. C. Machine learning experts are not highly paid in some non-technology companies. D. Machine learning models are not sufficient to solve business problems in Pinterest.
61. The underlined word in the 3 paragraph “field” mostly probably means______________. A. avcids B. creates C. solves D. classifies

Every few years, there’s a hot new management strategy that promises to make employees happier, healthier and more productive. To that end we’ve seen the rise of positions like ‘chief happiness officer’ as well as workplace dogs and on-site meditation. But while the employers may have improved the office itself, they have not solved the stress itself: the crushing tide of emails and IMs, which—thanks to the rise of smartphones-can pull us back to work, anytime, anywhere.
Now, in an effort to prevent burnout, a growing number of employers have started to suggest ways in which employees should unplug their connected devices. The automaker, Volkswagens, in collaboration with its union, sets its serves to stop mobile email service for some works from 30mnutes after quitting time until 30 minutes before starting time.
These measures may sound dramatic and possibly impractical, but there is a data to suggest they are needed. A recent research suggested that limiting the number of times a day that we check email or work-chat services—from say 10 or 20 to three or four –can not only reduce stress levels but also increase the overall productivity..
But in order for any solution to succeed, works have to be willing to regulate their own habits. And that is especially tough in a country in the U.S, where being superbusy, or at least appearing to be superbusy, is a point of pride. Even if more U.S employers were to implement the kinds of limits that Volkswagen do, experts are skeptical that they’d work. ‘If the social norm is to be on the time, you don’t want to be the odd one out,’ says Angela Leaney, a New Jersey based marketing consultant, adding that some bosses will think less of employees for not answering emails after work hours, even if they say they won’t.
Moreover, dictating when and how employees should use their connected devices will inevitably hamper many workers. There are plenty of people who do their best work at 3 a.m. In fact, a majority of working adults say that being able to check work email at home makes it easier to get more done; many also said it improved their relationships with their colleagues.
For now, it seems, the best way for employers to foster a fulfilled, productive workforce is to be flexible , both inside and outside the office. One example, although Andy Monfried, the CEO and founder of Lotame, a New York-based data management company, say those kinds of time limits wouldn’t work for his business—it’s too global –he does give his employees flexibility on when and where they can work. He’s also vigilant about burnout. ‘I vowed that I would not crest company where people had the Sunday-night blues—the kind where you go to bed sick to your stomach,’ he says. ‘I tell people if that’s happening repeatedly, it’s a sign of work-life imbalance and they should come talk to me.’
63. From stopping employees getting exhausted, employers have tried to _________
A. promise to make their staff happier and more productive B. allow pet dogs in the office
C. encourage meditation in the work place
D. suggest ways to disconnect their mobile devices
. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?
A. employers will find ways to regulate workers’ working habit.
B.U.S experts cast doubt on the feasibility of limiting connected time. C.U.S employers won’t think of contacting employees after work. D. Volkswagen’s policies will also apply to U.S. companies. 65. The underlined word ‘hamper’ is closet in meaning to ‘_________’
A. facilitate B. handicap C. relieve D. toughen 66. Which of the following can be inferred from the article?
A. There seems to be no right way to unplug from work
B. Flexibility on when and where to work is the best way to avoid burnout C. Employees applaud the way to cue down their connected time.
D. Impractical as the measures sound, they will work well for employers.
