17、orm of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. (1*6=6)Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is going to experience (25) unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (锁止器)，and a radio signal from a cont

18、rol centre miles away will ensure that (26) the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a code

19、d cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine (27) (start).In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He

20、 says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, (28) their engine management computer wont allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beam

21、ed (发射) out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this (29) (help) achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owners keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of t

22、hefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send asignal to an operation centre (30) it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal. Staff at the centre

23、 will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep the police informed of the vehicles movements via the cars GPS unit.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more th

24、an you need. (1*7=7)A.industryB.inevitablyC.definitelyD.fueledE.longingF.classlessG.humbleH.illustrationsAsk most people how they define the American Dream and chances are that theyll say, “Success.” The dream of individual opportunity has been present in America since Europeans discovered a “new wo

25、rld” in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing descriptions of a 31 society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many Europea

26、n readers; in Letters from an American Farmer (1782) he wrote, “We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered ( 无 拘 无 束 ) andunrestrained, because each person works for himself We have no princes, for whom we labor,starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing

27、 in the world.” The promise of a land where “the rewards of a mans 32 follow” drew poor immigrants from Europe and 33 national expansion into the western territories.Our national historical story is full of 34 of the American success story. Theres Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the self-educat

28、ed, self-made man, who rose from 35 origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. In the nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became Americans best-selling author with his rags-to-riches tales. The 36 for success haunts ( 萦 绕 于 ) us: we spend

29、 millions every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to “make a fortune in real estate with no money down,” and “dressing for success.” The myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships:today its as important to be “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it is to com

30、e out on top in business.But dreams can easily turn into nightmares. Every American who hopes to “make it” also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success 37 implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. These symbols of distinction assure us

31、and others that we believe in the fundamental equality of all, yet strive as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens.III. Reading Comprehension (41.5) Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each

32、 blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. (1*25=25)(A)You can actually catch a good mood or a bad mood from your friends, according to a recent study in the journal Royal Society Open Science. But that shouldnt stop you from (38) with pals who are frustrated, say the study authors:(

33、39) , the effect isnt large enough to push you into depression.The new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that happiness and sadnessas well as lifestyle and behavioral factors like smoking, drinking, obesity, fitness habits and even the ability to concentratecan (40) across social n

34、etworks, both online and in real life. Butwhile many (41) studies have only looked at friendship data at one point in time, this isone of the few that measured social and mood changes over time.The new research involved groups of junior-high and high-school students who took part in (42) screenings（

35、筛查） and answered questions about their best friends, many of whom were also enrolled in the study. In total, 2,194 students were included in the (43) , which used a mathematical model to look for connections among friend networks.Overall, kids whose friends suffered from bad moods were more (44) to

36、report bad moods themselvesand they were less likely to have improved when they were screened again six months to a year later. When people had more happy friends,(45) , their moods were more likely to improve over time.Some symptoms related to depressionlike helplessness, tiredness and loss of inte

37、restalso seemed to follow this (46) _ , which scientists call “social contagion.” But this isnt something that people need to (47) , says lead author Robert Eyre, a doctoral student at the University of Warwick. Rather, its likely just a “normal empathetic response that were all familiar with, and s

38、omething we recognize by common sense,” he says. In other words, when a friend is going through a rough patch, it makes sense that youll feel some of their depression , and its certainly not a reason to stay away.38.A.keeping upB.making offC.hanging outD.taking off39.A.ThankfullyB.ParticularlyC.Hope

Yet statistics from the U.S. government show that the number of crimes reporte

41、d at colleges and universities actually decreased in recent years. (48) , most colleges have stepped up security measures, employing new technology and(49) services to increase campus safety.At New York University, the Safe Ride van service is a routine part of college life. Dana Reszutek used the s

42、ervice at night to travel between campus buildings, which are staffed with security guards for additional (50) . One night, when a stranger followed Reszutek to her residence hall, he was stopped by the guard. “I wasnt harmed or touched,” she said. “Its (51) like these that show how high a level of

43、importance safety is to NYU.”The most recent campus-security trend is probably the introduction of mobile safety apps, which enable students to (52) panic buttons, spread their GPS locations or even turn their smartphones into (53)devices so others can see whats happening. LiveSafe helps students(54

44、) information with each other and with law- enforcement officers. Its SafeWalk feature allows students friends to (55) walk them home by watching their progress on a map. “Its a great way to increase communication about safety and to break down barriers between students as they (56) for one another,

45、” its developer said.Since most students are never without their smartphones, some feel mobile apps provide better security than the blue-light emergency call boxes dotting most campuses. Yet Thomas Clark, a lieutenant in Western Illinois Universitys Public Safety Office, said the boxeswhich connect

46、 callers to emergency responders provide an important “ (57) layer of protection. ”Its also important for students to take responsibility for their own safety. Becoming familiar with local neighborhoods and campus services are key. In safety tips posted online, many universities and campus police de

47、partments emphasize alertness and basic safeguards such as traveling in groups and familiarizing yourself with your (58) .Personal-safety expert David Nance says the most. important thing students can do is to be (59) which means not being distracted by smartphones or other devices. He also recommen

64、now more connected than ever. Our Housing Futures research, focusing on The Village Revival, identified that 21% of respondents expressed adesire to move to a village making it probably the most popular location for buyers. Those looking to move cited neighborhood safety (86%), space between neighbo

In fact, a quarter of all registered businesses are based in rural locations. The expansion of broadband and mobile

72、hat have taken place in English- language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the dramatic decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine

73、 a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. Yet aconsiderable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their lear

74、ned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II, at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criti

75、cism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would writein detail and at length about the events they covered. Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviews who wore (展示) their learn

76、ing lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman,could be trusted to know what they were about. These men believed in journalism as a calling (使命 ) , and were proud to be published in the daily press. So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journa

77、lism, Newman wrote “that I am tempted to define” journalism “as a term of contempt ( 轻 蔑 ) applied by writers who are not read to writers who are”.Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1

78、975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of Englands foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be

79、so honored. Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.Is there any chance that Carduss criticism will enjoy a revival? The prospect seems remote. Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have

80、little use for the richly polished Vicwardian (维多利亚和爱德华时代) prose in which he specialized. Moreover, theamateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.70. It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 thatA. arts criticism has disappeared from big-city newspapers.B. English-language newspa
