Paul passed and went to a “grammar school. Baz failed the examination and went to a “secondary modern school. They did not se

12、e each other again for years.Many grammar schools (22)_ (establish) hundreds of years ago to teach the Latin language to children who were not from rich families. They encouraged students to study (23)_ they were 18 and then to go to university. Secondary modern school students left at 16, usually w

13、ith fewer qualifications than grammar school students. Baz says the secondary modern school had (24)_ (few) resources and the quality of teaching was not as good.Things have changed. In the 1960s and the 1970s “comprehensive schools were created. Today, 90 percent children aged 11 to 16 from the sam

14、e area to the same school without (25)_ (take) any entry examination.The British often disagrees about the best way (26)_ (educate) their children. Many people say that comprehensive schools help more children to succeed because they provide everybody (27)_ similar opportunities in a fairer way. Ano

15、ther view, though, is that more intelligent children, especially (28)_ from poor homes are better supported at grammar schools. Now, the government plans to open new grammar schools (29)_ _ almost two million children will go to the same type of school that Paul attended.And Paul and Baz? Aged 60, t

16、hey met again and compared (30)_ had happened to them. After university, Paul qualified as a teacher. Baz went to work in a factory at 16 and later became an engineer. In fact, Baz had a much higher salary than Paul so perhaps life is fair after all.Section BA. impressive B. movements C. eventually

18、iately, but it turns out that the mosquito is actually quite a(n) _31_ creature.A term of scientists from Oxford University in the UK, in _32_ with the Royal Veterinary College in London and Chiba University in Japan, recently published a study that found some interesting facts about the worlds most

19、 _33_ insect.By placing eight cameras inside a tiny film studio, the scientists could study several mosquitoes up close. The high-tech cameras filmed the insects at 1,000 frames per second, meaning the scientists were able to study the insects _34_ in never-before-seen detail. However, it wasnt alwa

20、ys straightforward.“Recording mosquitoes during free-flight represented a huge technical challenge due to their small size, _35_ wing beat frequency, and the presence of large antennae and legs that can _36_ the view of their wings, Simon Walker of Oxford University, co-author of the study, wrote.Pu

21、blished in the journal Nature, the study found that mosquitoes flap their wings around 800 times a second. As a _37_, house flies flap their wings about 200 times a second, and hummingbirds 50 times a second.Richard Bomphrey of the Royal Veterinary College, the studys leader, believes that mosquitoe

23、to engineers in the future. The findings could lead to better aircraft, or even improvement to tools like lenses or pumps.But the scientists hope their study can one day be _39_ to new developments in more human-focused use.“The more we know about mosquitoes, the better our chance of understanding t

Reading ComprehensionSection AArtists have long claimed alcohol and other drugs as inspiration for their creativity. But is there really a(n) _41_ between intoxication醉酒and inspiration? A recent s

25、tudy published in Consciousness and Cognition explored the effects of moderate drunkenness on peoples creativity. The authors suggest that alcohols well-known effect in _42_ executive function may be helpful for these types of creation problems: “Sometimes a reduced ability to _43_ ones attention ca

26、n have positive implications for select cognitive tasks, they write.The findings raise the question of whether drugs that _44_ attention and focus, in particular, stimulants兴奋剂, would have the opposite effect on creative thinking _45_, very little research has been done on the issue, and what result

27、s exist so far have been mixed. The outcomes may well vary according to individual _46_ to the drugs. _47_, some research has found that while stimulants can _48_ test performance for those who are less intelligent, for the smartest folks, the drugs can have the opposite effect.If less executive fun

28、ction is linked to more creativity, this may also explain why artists, writers and musicians appear to be more _49_ to have an addiction. Perhaps creative people are more likely than others to be _50_ to drugs in the first place, as a possible source of inspiration. And then, if reduced executive fu

29、nction is _51_ in part for their initial talent, this, too, could make them more easily influenced by _52_ once they start using. Having less executive control before you even take drugs means youll have less ability to stop once you start.Whatever the real relationship between drunkenness, addictio

Co-author Jennifer Wiley, associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told the British Psychological Societys Research Digest: “We tested what happens when

31、 people are slightly drunk-not when people drank to _55_.

And through her tears, she said, “You have no ideahow much this means to me.I was a little startled by her reply.Having never anything like this before, I didnt know what kind of reaction I might receive.

44、 of the busy fishing communities located between the coves小海湾, says Bramblett. July and August arent peak gray whale migration season, but theres still a good chance you could catch a glimpse of some of the 200 whales that spend the summers off the Oregon coast.SLEEPNext to a lighthouse. Imagine you

45、rself an ancient mariner when you book a room overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the Heceta Head Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast in Yachats, Oregon. The working lighthouse, which dated to 1894, cast a bright beam 21 miles out to sea, making it the brightest light on the Oregon coast. The cliff-top rooms

46、at the Light Keepers home nearby arent cheap-youll sell out up to $ 385 for a weekend night during peak season (price includes a seven-course breakfast).BEWAREDangerous currents Unless you love cold water (or wear a wet suit), you may not wait to venture into the sea off the Oregon coast, even durin

51、d fun of the less crowed beach.(C)With the coming of big data age, data science is supposed to be starved for, of which the adaption can point a profound change in corporate competitiveness. Companies, both born in the digital era and traditional world are showing off their skills in data science. T

52、herefore, it seems to have been creating a great demand for the experts of this type.Mr. Carlos Guestrin, machine learning professor from University of Washington argues that all software applications will need inbuilt intelligence within five years, making data scientists-people trained to analyze

53、large bodies of information-key workers in this emerging “cognitive technology economy. There are already critical applications that depend on machine learning, a subfield of data science, led by recommendation programs, fraud detection systems, forecasting tools and applications for predicting cust

54、omer behavior.Many companies that are born digital-particularly internet companies that have a great number of real-time customer interactions to handle-are all-in when it comes to data science. Pinterest, for instance, maintains more than 100 machine learning models that could be applied to differe

55、nt classes of problems, and it constantly fields requests from managers eager to use this resource to deal with their business problem.The factors weighing on many traditional companies will be the high cost of mounting a serious machine-learning operation. Netflix is estimated to spend $ 150m a yea

56、r on a single application and the total bill is probably four times that once all its uses of the technology are taken into account.Another problem for many non-technology companies is talent. Of the computer science experts who use Kaggle, only about 1,000 have deep learning skills, compared to 100

57、,000 who can apply other machine learning techniques, says Mr. Goldbloom. He adds that even some big companies of this type are often reluctant to expand their pay scales to hire the top talent in this field.The biggest barrier to adapting to the coming era of “smart applications, however, is likely

58、 to be cultural. Some companies, such as General Electric, have been building their own Silicon Valley presence to attract and develop the digital skills they will need.Despite the obstacles, some may master this difficult transition. But companies that were built, from the beginning, with data scie

59、nce at their center, are likely to represent serious competition.63.Which one is obstacle for many traditional companies to popularize learning operation?A. Technological problem.B. Expert crisis.C. High cost.D. Customer interactions.64.What can not be inferred from the passage about the machine lea

60、rning?A. Machine learning operations are costly in Netflix.B. Machine learning plays an important role in existent applications.C.
