15、omprehension(25 points)Section A Directions:In this section,there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage One What did you study at university?If it was somet

16、hing along the lines of law or business you might what to look away now.Thats because according to new research,which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities,you have selfish,uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings.On the plus side,you re

17、probably the life and life and soul of a party,the findings suggest.Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who were involved in 12 separate studies From this,they discovered a correlation between the“Big Five”major personality traits and the subjects they were enrolled o

18、n.For example,those studying law,economics,political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects,the study found.But when it came to“agreeableness”the tendency towards being helpful,generous and consideratethe lawyers scored particularly low,as did business

19、and economics students.Arts and humanities students,as well as those studying psychology and politics scored highly for openness,meaning they were curious,imaginative and in touch with their inner feelings,while economists,engineers,lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low.However,the arts an

20、d humanities students also tended to be less conscientious and more nervous,typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodiness.Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these traits.Study author Anna Vedel,from the University of Aarhus in Denmark,said she was surprise

21、d by the results.“The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial,far from,”she said.“On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist,the withdrawn natural scientist,the cynical economist.”And she said that the finding

22、s could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university,as well as helping academics to plan their lectures.“Im not arguing that these results 2016 同等学力英语真题 5 should play a major role in either guidance or selection,but it might provide some inspiration for students t

23、hat are in doubt study choices and want to 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 students may .A.be amused by the research B.Be interested by the researc

24、h C.Dislike the research D.Enjoy the research 22.According to the research,law students scored particularly low in the trait of .A.generosity B.openness C.anxiety D.selfishness 23.The word“conscientious”(Para.4)probably means“”.A.moody B.sensitive C.curious D.careful 24.Anna Vedel stated that the re

25、search .A.confirmed the link between personality and profession B.showed that the differences were far from significant C.was not reliable because of its prejudicial observation D.did not have enough samples to support its findings 25.According to Anna Vedel,the research may help .A.students make wi

26、se choice in finding jobs B.teachers understand their students better C.students make presentations more academically D.school pupils go to better universities Passage Two AlphaGos victory over Go(围棋)champion Lee Se-dol reportedly shocked artificial intelligence experts,who thought such an event was

27、 10 to 15 years away.But if the timing was surprise,the outcome was not.On the contrary,it was inevitable and entirely foreseeable.Playing complex games is precisely what computers do supremely well.Just as they beat the world 2016 同等学力英语真题 6 champions at checkers(跳棋)and then chess,they were destine

28、d to beat the champion at Go.Yet I dont believe,as some do,that human defeats like this one presage an era of mass unemployment in which awesomely able computers leave most of us with nothing to do.Advancing technology will profoundly change the nature of high-value human skills and that is threaten

29、ing,but we arent doomed.The skills of deep human interaction,the abilities to manage the exchanges 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.Its the

30、ability to perceive what another person is thinking or feeling,and to respond in an appropriate way.The second is creative problem-solving in groups.Research on group effectiveness shows that the key isnt team cohesion or motivation or even the smartest members IQ;rather,its the social sensitivity o

31、f the members,their ability to read one another and keep anyone from dominating.The third critical ability,somewhat surprisingly,is storytelling,which has not traditionally been valued by organizations.Charts,graphs and data analysis will continue to be important,but thats exactly what technology do

32、es so well.To change peoples minds or inspire them to act,tell them a story.These skills,though basic to our humanity,are fundamentally different from the skills that have been the basis of economic progress for most of human history,such as logic,knowledge and analysis,which we learned from textboo

33、ks and in classrooms.By contrast,the skills of deep human interaction address the often irrational reality of how human beings behave,and we find them not in textbooks but inside ourselves.As computers master ever more complexity,thats where well find the source of our continued value.26.According t

34、o the author,AlphaGos vicory_.A.could have happened earlier B.came as a pleasant surprise C.was an expected result D.was more a matter of luck 27.The word“presage”(Para.2)is closest in meaning to“”。A survive B.suffer C.invent D.predict 28.What is the authors attitude towards the human future in face

35、 of technology?A.Unclear.B.Confused.C.Worried.D.Optimistic.29.Which of the following is the most fundamental to human interaction?2016 同等学力英语真题 7 A.Social sensitivity of group members to understand each other.B.Strong ability to share peoples feelings and respond.C.Team spirit to make sure that ever

36、yone is involved.D.Inspirational storytelling to motivate people to act.30.According to the author,the skills of deep human interaction .A.are the source of true human values in the future B.can work with knowledge to make the world better C.are similar to the skills of human logic and analysis D.ca

37、n be learned from textbooks and in classrooms Passage Three Last year,I went WWOOFing(Willing Workers on Organic Farms)at a beautiful organic farm in La Reunion.With WWOOFing,volunteers exchange their time and work for food and accommodation.I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs（刺猬）digging

38、about in the bushes,all different coloured birds singing in the morning and endless rows of palm trees offering shade from the sun.For me,one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the land,live with the locals and share meals together.This is why I absolutely love WWOOFing.It h

39、as got to be one of the best ways to travel.It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritises people and environment above profit.You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of

40、 doing things,depending on the environment,climate and soil.At the farm in La Reunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads.Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing,fresh fro

41、m the ground.When potting up the very beginnings of the palm trees,I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the trees cycle.I was filled with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong.We also did lots of weeding,which helped me to get to know all kinds of different

42、plants,to be able to identify which ones we could use as herbs/medicine/in salads and which were seen as uneatable.I also got to harvest pineapples and guava fruit（番石榴）to make jams which will be sold at the local market.Of course,not everyone is able to travel far away into the field.The great thing

43、 about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing is that its something we can all do from our own backyard.The focus shifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communities.A fair exchange can make a 2016 同等学力英语真题 8 big difference in the world.31.WWOOFing enables volunteers to .A

44、.get food and shelter for their work B.travel around La Reunion for free C.tell the differences between various birds D.have close contact with wild animals 32.The author found his farm life in La Reunion quite .A.awful B.rewarding C.comfortable D.difficult 33.The author did all of the following on

45、the organic farm EXCEPT .A.removing weeds B.planting palm trees C.harvesting fruits D.collecting vegetables 34.The philosophy of WWOOFing is to .A.improve local environment B.make locals live better C.unite different communities D.advocate a fair exchange 35.This passage is mainly about .A.the devel

46、opment of WWOOFing B.a local WWOOFing community C.a charming WWOOFing experience D.the system of WWOOFing Passage Four Experts say distracted walking is a growing problem,as people of all ages become more dependent on electronic devices for personal and professional matters.They also note pedestrian

47、 deaths have been rising in recent years.In 2005,11%of all US deaths involved pedestrians,but that number rose to 15%in 2014.The rise in deaths coincides with states introducing bills that target pedestrians.Some states,such as Hawaii,Arkansas,Illinois,Nevada and New York,continue to introduce legis

48、lation every year.The measure recently introduced by New Jersey assembly woman Pamela Lampitt would ban walking while texting and prohibit pedestrians on public roads from using electronic communication devices unless they are hands-free.Violators would face fines of up to$50,15-day imprisonment or

49、both,which is the 2016 同等学力英语真题 9 same penalty as jaywalking（乱穿马路）.Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the dangers of walking while texting,said Lampitt.Some see the proposal as an unnecessary government overreach,while others say they understand Lampitts reasoning.But most

50、 agree that people need to be made aware of the issue.“Distracted pedestrians,like distracted drivers,present a potential danger to themselves and drivers on the road,”Lampitt said.“An individual crossing the road distracted by their smartphone presents just as much danger to motorists as someone ja
