It is London

10、 s first Light Rail System, but its route follows that of a number of older lines, which carried the nineteenth century railways through the crowded districts of the East End. The section of the line from the Tower Gateway Station to Poplar follows the line of one of London s earliest railways, the

11、London on board each vehicle, Train Captains, who are also fully qualified drivers, are equipped with two-way radios to maintain contact with central control. There are passenger lifts, and self-service ticket machines, at every station. 21. The history of the railway tells us that the DLR _. A. was

12、 begun in the nineteen century B. follows some of the original line C. will be finished in three years time D. took three years longer than expected to complete 22.

14、on second-hand smoke reached its historic high this New Year, when even indoor areas in bars and casinos became smoke-free by force of law. The rules on smoke exposure have taken a 180-degree turn in less than a generation. In the United States of my youth, every citizen was hostage（人 质） to other pe

15、ople s cigarettes in airplanes, in offices and in almost every other public place. Now the indoor areas of public life are all nonsmoking zones an inconvenience for the 25% of adults who smoke, but a benefit of large proportions to the breathing system of the 75% who do not. In the cold and flu, the

16、 greatest risk of appearing in public is not tobacco smoke, but rather contagious（接触传染的）disease. And strangers who would not dream of blowing smoke in your face seem happy enough about coughing and sneezing whenever they see you coming. Isn t there a double standard here, when the same folks prohibi

17、ted from smoking in my office building can sneeze me home for a week of hell with the ruling bacterium of the season? Why don t the contagious among us stay home or wear those cut little paper nose and mouth covers or at least feel bad about putting the rest of us at risk of sharing their misery? Co

18、uld it be that the similarity passing a law that requires germ-free public spaces. But two smaller lessons do come from the contrasting treatment of germs and cigarettes. The first lesson is that what we accept in public is much more a matter of particular social expectation than scientific studies.

19、 The French read scientific journals just as diligently as do Americans, yet the average French cafe contains more smoke than a forest fire. You are more likely to encounter a face full of tobacco smoke if you go to Japan this year than you would in Los Aneles. But you will also notice hundreds of p

20、eople on the subway in Japan who wear paper mask to avoid spreading contagious disease that they carry. Which culture is more considerate depends on the particular subject of the inquiry. The standard for what is polite in public varies tremendously from one social setting to another. 24. The first

21、paragraph tells us _. A. the rules on smoke exposure have become less strict B. in the past people exposed to other people s cigarettes complained a lot C. in California, smoke-free zones in public places have existed for a long time D. most people can benefit from banning indoor smoking in public p

22、laces 25. What can be inferred from the passage? A. People think coughing and sneezing are less harmful than smoking in public. B. Sick people should live alone and stay home wearing paper masks all winter. C. Strangers will feel bad when they cough and sneeze in front of other people. D. Those with

23、 contagious diseases feel bad sharing their misery with others. 26. The tone of the passage is best described as _. A. encouraging B. worrying C. carefree D. suspicious 27. What does the author want to express in this passage? A. Learn from Japan. B. Don t smoke indoors. C. Pay attention to environm

24、ental germs. D. Stay home all winter. C Google “ information overload” and you are immediately overloaded with information: more than 7m hits in 0.05 seconds. Some of this information is interesting: for example, the phrase “ information overload” was popularised by Alvin Toffler in 1970. Some of it

25、 is mere noise: obscure companies promoting their services and even more obscure bloggers sounding off. The overall impression is at once overwhelming and confusing. “ Information overload” is one of the biggest irritations in modern life. There are e-mails to answer, YouTube videos to watch and, ba

26、ck in the physical world, meetings to attend and papers to shuffle （翻动）. A survey by Reuters once found that two-thirds of managers believe that the data deluge （泛滥） had made their jobs less satisfying or hurt their personal relationships. One-third thought that it had damaged their health. Another

27、survey suggests that most managers think most of the information they receive is useless. Some researchers raise three big worries. First, information overload can make people feel anxious and powerless: scientists have discovered that multitaskers produce more stress hormones. Second, overload can

28、discourage creativity. Teresa Amabile of Harvard Business School has spent more than a decade studying the work habits of 238 people. She finds that focus and creativity are connected. People are more likely to be creative if they are allowed to focus on something for some time without interruptions

29、. If constantly interrupted or forced to attend meetings, they are less likely to be creative. Third, overload can also make workers less productive. David Meyer of the University of Michigan has shown that people who complete certain tasks in parallel take much longer and make many more errors than

30、 people who complete the same tasks in sequence. What can be done about information overload? One answer is technological: rely on the people who created the fog to invent filters （过滤器） that will clean it up. Xerox promises to restore “ information purity” by developing better filtering and managing

31、 devices. A second answer involves willpower. Turn off your mobile phone and WiFi from time to time. Most companies are better at giving employees access to the information superhighway than at teaching them how to drive. This is starting to change. Management consultants have spotted an opportunity

32、. Derek Dean and Caroline Webb of McKinsey urge businesses to apply three principles to deal with data overload: find time to focus, filter out noise and forget about work when you can. Business leaders are chipping in. David Novak of Yum! Brands urges people to ask themselves whether what they are

33、doing is construct ive or a mere “ activity” . Cristobal Conde of SunGard, an IT firm, preserves “ thinking time ” in his schedule when he cannot be disturbed. This might sound like common sense. But common sense is rare amid the cacophony（不和谐的声音）of corporate life. 28. According to the survey conduc

34、ted by Reuters, most managers believe _. A. the data deluge does harm to their health. B. most information they receive is of great use. C. information overload destroys their personal relationship. D. their jobs are satisfying thanks to the rich information on the Internet. 29. Which of the followi

35、ng is NOT a damaging effect of information overload? A. Making people unproductive. B. Causing people to lack creativity. C. Arousing people s negative feelings. D. Leaving people bad at multitasking. 30. The technological way to deal with information overload is to _. A. improve the technique for f

36、iltering data B. limit the uploading of information C. provide limited access to the Internet D. develop better search engines 31. Which of the following action may Derek Dean and Caroline Webb approve of? A. Listening to music while working. B. Finishing several tasks at the same time. C. Taking yo

37、ur mind off work occasionally. D. Avoiding using your common sense in your work. D In my high school English class in a small Mississippi town, Miss Denman tried to insert our sleepy heads that every novel had to do one of the three things: tell something; show something; prove something. She then r

38、ead us one she considered a piece of perfect writing because it achieved all the three things: The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, whose remaining stories and essays have now been published. As Miss Denman began reading “ The morning of June 27th was clear and su nny, with the fresh warmth of a full sum

39、mer day; the flowers were blossoming （开花）freely and the grass was richly green” we were calmed into “ the square between the post office and the bank” of a small American town, where all 300 citizens are met. They ve come to draw lots （抽签）for the lottery of each year that ends before noon. The perso

40、n holding the paper with a black mark is then led to a clearing and stoned to death by all the town s citizens. When The Lottery first appeared in The New Yorker in 1948, the magazine was flooded with letters from angry readers demanding to know what it was about. Unlike those confused The New Yorke

41、r readers, Miss Denman s students weren t confused by a story in which foolish violence was passed down through the generations. Ours was a Gothic world and Shirley Jackson seemed to our ears like Flannery O Connor without the Georgia accent. Forty years passed before I read anything else by Shirley

42、 Jackson. Then I happened upon her final novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle , published in 1962, three years before her death in 1965 a true excellent work whose young main female character, Merricat Blackwood, is as precocious （早熟的） and worth remembering as any young people in the 20th-centur

43、y American novels. She describe s: “ I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, and my uncle Julian, and the poisonous mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead. ” Six years ago Blackwood s parents, an aunt, and a younger brother were murdered poisoned with arsenic

44、（砒霜） . Fifty years after her untimely death, Let Me Tell You , a new reminder of how excellent a writer Shirley Jackson came out. The stories, essays, and lectures in this brilliant new collection include some published before and some able to the public for the first time. The title comes from the

45、book s only unfinished story, about two 14-year-old friends, the spoiled daughters of rich fathers. Their snobbery（势利） performances counteract beliefs of classlessness in American: “ My father is a lawyer. It s important what your father is. Also it s important to have a swimming pool, only not the

46、biggest swimming pool of all and of course no one would dream of going near it.” The reader is eager to know what happens but even Jackson s finished stories are rarely tied up with appropriate endings. She counted on the reader to make an effort. Let Me Tell You feels like a direct communication fr

47、om beyond the tomb with the writer. This is especially true of her essays on the skill of writing. With the publication of Let Me Tell You, Shirley Jackson can now enjoy a peace with a new world of readers. The woman of Gothic psychological novel can truly rest in peace. 32. Miss Denman chose to rea

48、d her students The Lottery mainly because _. A. it s one of her favorite novels B. it s a good example to explain the features of novels C. it has skillfully-arranged plots and beautiful statements D. it s a masterpiece of an American literary writer, Shirley Jackson 33. What can we learn about The

49、Lottery? A. It has a beautiful beginning but a sad ending. B. Whoever got the lottery in the story was a lucky dog. C. Living in the Gothic world, its writer was good Gothic novels. D. It confused The New Yorker readers as well as Denman s students. 34. According to Shirley Jackson s final novel, _. A. Merrica
