Cafe.CEarly fifth-century philosopher StAugustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someoneasked himAlbert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where youmeasure itTodays state-of-the-art atomic（原子的）clocks have proven Einstein rightEven advanced physicscant decisively tell us what time is,because the answer depends on the question youre askingForget about time as an absolute What if，instead of considering time in terms of astronomy,we related time toecology？What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo（节奏）of human life？Were increasinglyaware of the fact that we cant control Earth systems with engineering alone，and realizing that we need to moderate（调节）our actions if we hope to live in balanceWhat if our definition of time reflected that？Recently，I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping thats connected to circumstances on our planet，conditions that might change as a result of global warmingWere now building a clock at the Anchorage Museumthat reflects the total flow of several majorAlaskan rivers，which are sensitive to local and global environmentalchangesWeve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rateIfthe rivers run faster in the future on average，the clock will get ahead of standard time If they run slower，youll seethe opposite effectThe clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamicsIts a sort ofobservatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame（时间框架），and allows us towitness those changes on our smartwatches or phonesAnyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time willlive in harmony with the planetAnyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a majorimbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policiesEven if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars，early agricultural societies also connected timeto natural phenomenaIn pre-Classical Greece，for instance，people“corrected”official calendars by shifting datesforward or backward to reflect the change of seasonTemporal connection to the environment was vital to theirsurvivalLikewise，river time and other timekeeping systems were developing may encourage environmentalawarenessWhen StAugustine admitted his inability to define time，he highlighted one of time s most noticeablequalities：Time becomes meaningful only in a defined contextAny timekeeping system is valid，and each is aspraiseworthy as its purpose7.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1？A.Timekeeping is increasingly related to natureB.Everyone can define time on their own termsC.The qualities of time vary with how you measure itD.Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists8.The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to_A.present an assumptionB.evaluate an argumentC.highlight an experimentD.introduce an approach9.What can we learn from this passage？A.Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced lifeB.New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systemsC.Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slowerD.Modern technology may help to shape the riverstemporal frame10.What can we infer from this passage？A.It is crucial to improve the definition of timeB.Afixed frame will make time meaninglessC.We should live in harmony with natureD.History is a mirror reflecting realityDTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier,allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently.Buttoo often it seems to make things harder.This increase in complexity,often called feature creep,costs consumerstime,but it also costs business money.Product returns in the U.S.cost a hundred billion dollars a year,and a recentstudy by Elke den Ouden,of Philips Electronics,found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrongwith them.Consumers just couldnt figure out how to use them.Companies now know a great deal about problemsof usability and consumer behavior,so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part,fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem:the people who design and sellproduct are not the ones who buy and use them,and what engineers and marketers think is important is notnecessarily whats best for consumers.The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product lessusable.And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point,and a new way toattract customers.You might think,then,that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customersreally want.But thats where the trouble begins,because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive.It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend tothink that the more features there are,the better.It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that werealize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we dont expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it.But,as numerous studies have shown,people are not,in general,good at predicting what will make them happy in the future.As a result,we will paymore for more features because we systematically overestimate how often well use them.We also overestimate ourability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusualproblem for companies.Aproduct that doesnt have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store.But aproduct with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.11.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A.The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B.The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C.The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.D.Many problems of usability known by the consumers.12.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A.It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.B.What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.C.Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.D.The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product13.What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A.They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B.They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C.They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.D.They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.14.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy ThingB.Feature-heavy Products in DemandC.The More Features,the BetterD.Simplicity Outweighs Complexity第二节第二节(共共 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分分)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。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。You may be
