16、dD.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhat did you study at university?If it was something along the lines oflaw or business,you might want to look away now.Thats because accordingto new research,which has found a link between our university subjectsand our pe

17、rsonalities,you have selfish,uncooperative tendencies and arenot very in touch with your feelings.On the plus side,youre probablythe life and soul of a party,the findings suggest.Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students whowere involved in 12 separate studies.From this,the

18、y discovered acorrelation between the“Big Five major personality traits and thesubjects they were enrolled on.For example,those studying law,economics,political science andmedicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects,the study found.But when it came to“agreeablenessthe t

19、endencytowards being helpful,generous and consideratethe lawyers scoredparticularly low,as did business and economics students.Arts and humanities students，as well as those studying psychology andpoliticsscoredhighlyforopenness,meaningtheywerecurious,imaginative and in touch with their inner feeling

20、s,while economists,engineers,lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low.However,thearts and humanities students also tended to be less conscientious and morenervous,typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodiness.Psychology5/20students were not far behind arts and humanities students for th

21、esetraits.Study author Anna Vedel，from the University of Aarhus in Denmark,saidshe was surprised by the results.“The effect sizes show that thedifferences found are not trivial,far from,she said.“On the morehumorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypesof the disturbed psycho

22、logist,the withdrawn natural scientist，thecynical economist.And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currentlyhave no idea what to study at university,as well as helping academicsto plan their lectures.“Im not arguing that these results should playa major role in either guid

23、ance or selection,but it might provide someinspiration for students that are in doubt about study choices and wantto make a choice based on more than abilities,for example,said Dr Vedel.“Or teachers might better understand their student population.21.The first paragraph implies that law or business

24、students may.A.be amused by the researchB.be interested in the researchC.dislike the researchD.enjoy the research22.According to the research,law students scored particularly low in thetrait of.C.anxietyD.selfishness23.The word“conscientious(Para.4)probably means“.24.Anna Vedel stated that the resea

25、rch.A.confirmed the link between personality and professionB.showed that the differences were far from significantC.was not reliable because of its prejudicial observationD.did not have enough samples to support its findings25.According to Anna Vedel,the research may help.A.students make wise choice

26、s in finding jobsB.teachers understand their students betterC.students make presentations more academically6/20D.school pupils go to better universitiesPassage TwoAlphaGo s victory over Go 围棋 champion Lee Sedol reportedly shockedartificial intelligence experts,who thought such an event was 10 to 15y

27、ears away.But if the timing was a surprise,the outcome was not.On thecontrary,it was inevitable and entirely foreseeable.Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely well.Justas they beat the world champions at checkers(跳棋)and then chess,theywere destined to beat the champion at Go

28、.Yet I dont believe,as somedo,that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemploymentin which awesomely able computers leave most of us with nothing to do.Advancing technology will profoundly change the nature of highvaluehuman skills and that is threatening,but we arent doomed.The skil

29、ls of deep human interaction,the abilities to manage theexchanges that occur only between people,will only become more valuable.Three of these skills stand out:The first,the foundation of the rest,is empathy,which is more than just feeling someone elses pain.Itsthe ability to perceive what another p

30、erson is thinking or feeling,andto respond in an appropriate way.The second is creative problemsolving in groups.Research on groupeffectiveness shows that the key isnt team cohesion or motivation oreven the smartest members IQ;rather,its the social sensitivity ofthe members,their ability to read one

31、 another and keep anyone fromdominating.The third critical ability,somewhat surprisingly,is storytelling,whichhas not traditionally been valued by organizations.Charts,graphs anddata analysis will continue to be important,but thats exactly whattechnology does so well.To change peoples minds or inspi

32、re them to act,tell them a story.These skills,though basic to our humanity,are fundamentally differentfrom the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for mostof human history,such as logic，knowledge and analysis,which we learned7/20from textbooks and in classrooms.By contrast,the skill

33、s of deep humaninteraction address the often irrational reality of how human beingsbehave,and we find them not in textbooks but inside ourselves.Ascomputers master ever more complexity,thats where well find thesource of our continued value.26.According to the author,AlphaGos victory.A.could have hap

34、pened earlierB.came as a pleasant surpriseC.was an expected resultD.was more a matter of luck27.The word“presage(Para.2)is closest in meaning to“.28.What is the authors attitude towards the human future in face oftechnology?29.Which of the following is the most fundamental to human interaction?A.Soc

35、ial sensitivity of group members to understand each other.B.Strong ability to share peoples feelings and respond.C.Team spirit to make sure that everyone is involved.D.Inspirational storytelling to motivate people to act.8/2030.According to the author,the skills of deep human interaction.A.are the s

36、ource of true human values in the futureB.can work with knowledge to make the world betterC.are similar to the skills of human logic and analysisD.can be learned from textbooks and in classroomsPassage ThreeLast year,I went WWOOFing(Willing Workers on Organic Farms)at abeautiful organic farm in La R

37、union.With WWOOFing,volunteers exchangetheir time and work for food and accommodation.I slept in a cabin in thewoods with hedgehogs 刺猬digging about in the bushes,all differentcoloured birds singing in the morning and endless rows of palm treesoffering shade from the sun.For me,one of the best ways t

38、o get to know a new place is to work withthe land,live with the locals and share meals together.This is why Iabsolutely love WWOOFing.It has got to be one of the best ways to travel.It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritisespeople and environment above profit.You get th

39、e time and space to deepena connection with local communities and nature.There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things,depending on the environment,climate and soil.At the farm in La Runionwe planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eatenin sala

40、ds.Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palmfrom cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing,fresh fromthe ground.When potting up the very beginnings of the palm trees,I feltgrateful to be a part of the start of the trees cycle.I was filled withawe that something so sma

41、ll could grow into something so big and strong.We also did lots of weeding,which helped me to get to know all kinds ofdifferent plants,to be able to identify which ones we could use asherbs/medicine/in salads and which were seen as uneatable.I also got to9/20harvest pineapples and guava fruit(番石榴)to

42、 make jams which will be soldat the local market.Of course,not everyone is able to travel far away into the field.Thegreat thing about the skillshare philosophy behind WWOOFing is that its something we can all do from our own backyard.The focus shifts frommoney to how we can best support each other

43、in our communities.A fairexchange can make a big difference in the world.31.WWOOFing enables volunteers to.A.get food and shelter for their workB.travel around La Runion for freeC.tell the differences between various birdsD.have close contact with wild animals32.The author found his farm life in La

45、hange35.This passage is mainly about.A.the development of WWOOFingB.a local WWOOFing communityC.a charming WWOOFing experienceD.the system of WWOOFingPassage FourExperts say distracted walking is a growing problem,as people of all agesbecome more dependent on electronic devices for personal and prof

46、essionalmatters.They also note pedestrian deaths have been rising in recent years.In 2005，11%of all US deaths involved pedestrians,but that number roseto 15%in 2014.The rise in deaths coincides with states introducing bills that targetpedestrians.Some states,such as Hawaii,Arkansas,Illinois,Nevada a

47、ndNew York,continue to introduce legislation every year.The measure recently introduced by New Jersey assembly woman PamelaLampitt would ban walking while texting and prohibit pedestrians on publicroads from using electronic communication devices unless they are handsfree.Violators would face fines

48、of up to$50，15day imprisonmentor both,which is the same penalty as jaywalking(乱穿马路).Half of thefine would be allocated to safety education about the dangers of walkingwhile texting,said Lampitt.11/20Some see the proposal as an unnecessary government overreach,while otherssay they understand Lampitts

49、 reasoning.But most agree that people needto be made aware of the issue.“Distracted pedestrians,like distracteddrivers,present a potential danger to themselves and drivers on theroad,Lampitt said.“An individual crossing the road distracted bytheir smartphone presents just as much danger to motorists

50、 as someonejaywalking and should be held,at minimum,to the same penalty.The main question raised about the measure,though,is whether it can beenforced consistently by police officers who usually have more pressingmatters to deal with.Some feel that rather than imposing a new law，thestate should focu
