(共 14 页）Text 1 King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted kings dont abdicate, they die in their sleep. But embarrassing scandals and th

12、e popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So, does the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy is seeing its last days? Does that mean the writing is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic

13、 lifestyles? The Spanish case provides arguments both for and against monarchy. When public opinion is particularly polarised, as it was following the end of the Franco regime, monarchs can rise above mere politics and embody a spirit of national unity. It is this apparent transcendence of politics

14、that explains monarchs continuing popularity as heads of state. And so, the Middle East excepted, Europe is the most monarch-infested region in the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican city and Andorra). But unlike their absolutist counterparts in the Gulf and Asia, most royal families have

15、 survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respected public figure. Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside. Symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history - and sometimes the way they behave today - embodies outdat

16、ed and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomas Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is bizarre that wealthy aristocratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modem democratic states. The most

17、successful monarchies strive to abandon or hide their old aristocratic ways. Princes and princesses have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses ( or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1 %, and media intrusiveness makes it increasingly difficult to main

18、tain the right image. While Europes monarchies will no doubt be smart enough to survive for some time to come, it is the British royals who have most to fear from the Spanish example. It is only the Queen who has preserved the monarchys reputation with her rather ordinary (if well-heeled) granny sty

19、le. The danger will come with Charles, who has both an expensive taste of lifestyle and a pretty hierarchical view of the world. He has failed to understand that monarchies have largely survived because they provide a service -as non-controversial and non-political heads of state. Charles ought to k

20、now that as English history shows, it is kings, not republicans, who are the monarchys worst enemies. 英语（一）试题 . 3 . (共 14 页）21.

(共 14 页）Text2 Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobil

25、e phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest. California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumption that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is ha

26、rd, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies. The court would be recklessly modest if it followed Californias advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justices can and should provide updated guidelines to po

27、lice, lawyers and defendants. They should start by discarding Californias lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone - a vast storehouse of digital information - is similar to, say, going through a suspects purse. The court has ruled that police dont violate the Fourth Amendment when

28、they go through the wallet or pocketbook of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring ones smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestees reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence. The developmen

29、t of cloud computing, meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier. Americans should take steps to protect their digital privacy. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to rem

30、ain private and protected by the Constitutions prohibition on unreasonable searches. As so often is the case, stating that principle doesnt ease the challenge of linedrawing. In many cases, it would not be overly burdensome for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They c

31、ould still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while waiting for a warrant. The court, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are

32、 entitled to more freedom. But the justices should not swallow Californias argument whole. New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitutions protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century

33、 with the establishment of automobile use as a virtual necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now . 英语（一）试题 . 5 .

The author believes that exploring ones phone contents is comparable toA going through ones wallet.B handling ones historical records.C scanning ones correspondences.D getting into ones residence.

36、29. In Paragraphs 5 and 6, the author shows his concern thatA principles are hard to be clearly expressed.B the court is giving police less room for action.C phones are used to store sensitive information.D citizens privacy is not effectively protected.30. Orin Kerrs comparison is quoted to indicate

37、 thatA the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.B principles of the Constitution should never be altered.C Californias argument violates principles of the Constitution.D new technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution .英语（一）试题 . 6 . (共 14 页）Text3 The journal Science is adding an

38、extra round of statistical checks to its peer-review process, editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt announced today. The policy follows similar efforts from other journals, after widespread concern that basic mistakes in data analysis are contributing to the irreproducibility of many published research find

39、ings. Readers must have confidence in the conclusions published in our journal, writes McNutt in an editorial. Working with the American Statistical Association, the journal has appointed seven experts to a statistics board of reviewing editors (SBoRE). Manuscripts will be flagged up for additional

40、scrutiny by the journals internal editors, or by its existing Board of Reviewing Editors or by outside peer reviewers. The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to review these manuscripts. Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said: The creation of the stat

41、istics board was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research and is part of Sciences overall drive to increase reproducibility in the research we publish. Giovanni Parmigiani, a biostatistician at the Harvard School of Public Health, a me

42、mber of the SBoRE group, says he expects the board to play primarily an advisory role. He agreed to join because he found the foresight behind the establishment of the SBoRE to be novel, unique and likely to have a lasting impact. This impact will not only be through the publications in Science itse

43、lf, but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may want to model their approach after Science. John Ioannidis, a physician who studies research methodology, says that the policy is a most welcome step forward and long overdue. Most journals are weak in statistical review, and thi

44、s damages the quality of what they publish. I think that, for the majority of scientific papers nowadays, statistical review is more essential than expert review, he says, but he noted that biomedical journals such as Annals of Internal Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association and T

45、he Lancet pay strong attention to statistical review. Professional scientists are expected to know how to analyse data, but statistical errors are alarmingly common in published research, according to David Vaux, a cell biologist. Researchers should improve their standards, he wrote in 2012, but jou

46、rnals should also take a tougher line, engaging reviewers who are statistically literate and editors who can verify the process. Vaux says that Sciences idea to pass some papers to statisticians has some merit, but a weakness is that it relies on the board of reviewing editors to identify the papers

47、 that need scrutiny in the first place. 英语（一）试题 . 7 . (共 14 页）31.
