The “solution” is the sequence of moves one makes up and over a boulder.Here is an example of a climber addressing a bouldering

14、problem.Figure 1: The climber has two routes she could take, one to the left and one to the right. The left one appears easier because it has a jug within easy reach, but look what happens if she chooses that direction. She gets stuck on the rock and has to go back down. Sometimes that is even diffi

15、cult than going up.Figure 2: The climber takes the one to the right this time. using a foothold and placing her right hand in a crimp, she is able to life herself up and locate other handholds. After only a few moves, she is able to throw her leg over the top of the boulder and pull herself up.1、Acc

18、rol the vibrations (振动) that occur when a bird beats its wings. The result is perfect silence as it approaches a mouse or other prey.Scientists used lasers and high-speed cameras to analyze and compare long-eared owl, eagle and pigeon feathers during flight. While differing in size, all three birds

19、have a similar wing-beat style.Professor Jinkui Chu led the research. He said, “Many owls have a unique and fascinating ability to fly so silently that they are out of their preys hearing range, due to their feather structure.”This behaviour has long been of interest to engineers, as we seek to appl

20、y the owls noise-reduction mechanisms (机制) to other purposes and situations that benefit society.Now, however, we know the owls silent flight ability is even better than we thought. Of all birds the owl is the king of acoustic stealth. It not only manages to prevent aerodynamic noise when gliding, b

21、ut also mechanical noise caused by vibration during flying.This is remarkable, considering the sudden jumping, bending and twisting the wings are subjected to when flapping and the noise that is created by other birds.In the scientific world, the process used to remove this mechanical noise is calle

22、d damping, which means the removal of mechanical energy from a vibrating system usually by changing it into heat and allowing it to remain steady.“Our research showed the long-eared owl has superior damping skill, meaning it can remain amazingly stable and remove mechanical noise caused by the movem

23、ent of its feathers quite an impressive achievement of engineering.99He added, “This study will hopefully provide further insight into the owls silent flight mechanism and help engineers develop ideas for special materials or structures, such as on-shore wind turbines, where similar noise removal ca

26、n a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot o

27、f money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besi

28、des, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confi

29、dent about your abilities.One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. Whats more, though formal educ

30、ation lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-education, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught

31、 and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice between the two c

But in a prosperous economy where nearly everyone had work, there were few takers. Raising wages

36、didnt help. Nor did offers to subsidize(补贴) housing. So he turned to the robots.“We cant find enough humans,” said Mr. Frolik, whose company, Linet, makes hospital beds sold in over 100 countries. “So were trying to replace people with machines wherever we can.”Such talk usually makes people think o

37、f a future where employees are no longer needed. In many major economies, companies are experimenting with replacing factory workers, truck drivers and even lawyers with artificial intelligence.But in Eastern Europe, robots are being enlisted as the solution for a shortage of workers. Often they are

38、 helping to create new types of jobs as businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland try to stay competitive. Economic growth in these countries has averaged 5 percent in recent years, affected by the global recovery. A booming economy has reduced the jobless rate to just 2.4 perce

39、nt, the lowest in the European Union.The lack of manpower, however, has limited the ability of Czech companies to expand. Nearly a third of them have started to turn away orders, according to the Czech Confederation of Industry, a trade group.“Its becoming a brake on growth,” said Jaroslav Hanak, th

40、e organizations president. “If businesses dont increase robotization and artificial intelligence, theyll disappear.”Some factories in Eastern Europe are already on the way. At Elko EP, which makes industrial timers for companies like General Electric, 70 percent of production is automated, and the c

41、ompany is aiming to be almost fully robotized in a few years. In a corner of the factory, robots have taken over routine manufacturing(制造业) tasks. Jiri Konecny, the companys CEO, moved factory floor workers to more complex roles, and focused hundreds of other employees on research and development. “

42、If we hadnt invested early in automation, wed be dead by now,” he said.1、What is the problem that Czech Republic is facing?AIts hard to find human workers.BIts population is decreasing greatly.CRobots are now welcome at factory work.DEmployees do not want to do factory work.2、Which of the following

45、 you to like what you see.Thats the idea behind the Emotion Evoking System developed by Shigeo Yoshida and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The system can manipulate, or in other words, control your emotions and personal preferences by presenting you with an image of your own smiling

46、or frowning face.The principle that physiological changes can drive emotional ones that laughter comes before happiness, rather than the other way around- is a well-established idea.The researchers wanted to see if this idea could be used to build a computer system that manipulates how you feel. The

47、 system works by presenting the user with a web-camera image of his or her face as if they were looking in a mirror. The image is then subtly altered with-software, turning the corners of the mouth up or down and changing the area around the eyes, so that the person appears to smile or frown.Without

48、 telling them the aim of the study, the team recruited(招募)21 volunteers and asked them to sit in front of the screen while performing an unrelated task. When the task was completed, the participants rated how they felt. When the faces on screen appeared to smile, people reported that they felt happi

49、er. On the other hand, when the image was given a sad expression, they reported feeling less happy.Yoshida and his colleagues tested whether manipulating the volunteers emotional state would influence their preferences. Each person was given a scarf to wear and again presented with the altered webca

50、m image. The volunteers that saw themselves smiling while wearing the scarf were more likely to report that they liked it, and those that saw themselves not smiling were less likely.“The system could be used to manipulate consumers impressions of products,” say the researchers. For example, mirrors

51、in clothing-store fitting rooms could be replaced with screens showing altered reflections. They also suggest people may be more likely to find clothes attractive if they see themselves looking happy while trying them on.“Its certainly an interesting area,” says Chris Creed at the University of Birm

52、ingham, UK. But he notes that using such technology in a shop would be harder than in the lab, because people will use a wide range of expressions. “Attempting to make slight differences to these and ensuring that the reflected image looks believable would be much more challenging,” he says.Of cours

53、e, there are also important moral questions surrounding such subtly manipulative technology. “You could argue that if it makes people happy, what harm is it doing?” says Creed. “But I can imagine that many people may feel manipulated uncomfortable and cheated if they found out.”1、Whats the main purp

54、ose of the Emotion Evoking System?ATo see whether one s facial expressions can be altered.BTo replace the mirrors in future clothing-store fitting rooms.CTo see whether laughter comes before happiness.DTo see whether ones feeling can be unconsciously affected.2、What can we learn about the web-camera

55、 image in the study?AIt recorded the volunteers performance in the task.BIt attempted to make the volunteers feel happier.CIt gave the volunteers a false image.DIt beautified the volunteers appearance in the mirror.3、What does Creed mention as a limitation of the technologyAIt only deals with a limi

56、ted number of facial expressions.BIt only works in clothing stores.CIt only makes subtle changes to peoples expressions.DIt only changes the areas around the mouth and the eyes.4、What does Creeds comment on the moral issues with this technology imply?APeople should make their decisions independently

57、.BTechnology is unable to manipulate people.CNothing is more important than happiness.DPeople should neglect the harm of the technology.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）完形填空Teaching second grade is always a challengeEach student arrives at school wi
