Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people?Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young
2、 child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different
3、 from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like,you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to descr
4、ibe a”nice person”，you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport， an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in peoples b
5、ehavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played
6、 the villains or the heros role. In fact, the words“person”and personalitycome from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks.But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as m actions. Accor
7、ding to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because_A. people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristicsB. human fingerprints provide unique informationC. peoples behavior can be easily described in wordsD. human faces have complex features2、Passag
8、e 18Wouldnt it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well,you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who
9、knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists. Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast.They collect data from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers. This does give the meteorologists an advantage,
10、because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country. But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast thats several hours old to make a local forecast.What are you seeing when you look a
11、t a cloud? A picture of moisture is doing in the atmosphere says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. Theres moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you dont see it, because its in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause t
12、he water vapor to change to liquid water. Its called condensation. and we see it happen all the time (for example, when humid air from the shower hits the cold glasses of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses, droplets come in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen. Watching c
13、louds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come.Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere. You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds,following each other in order, can signal an approaching storm. But dont take our word for it; see for your
14、self. What does meteorologists refer to?A. People who study the earths atmosphere and its changes.C. People who broadcast weather on TV.B. People who are in charge of weather forecast.D. People who study the earths rocks the history of its development.3、Passage 23 The World Cup has become the most s
15、treamed live sporting event the US has ever seen, as Americans tuned in to this years tournament on their smart phones, tablets and computers in record numbers. A surge of US interest in football this year has also led to record television audiences for broadcasts on ESPN and Univision , the Spanish
16、-language network. The US teams loss on Tuesday to Belgium averaged a 9.6 overnight rating on ESPN, according to Nielsen, the highest for any World Cup match the network has broadcast. But a 50 per cent surge in live streaming compared with the previous record, set during the 2012 London Olympics, s
17、hows that the sports appeal has grown particularly among younger, more digital, fans. Young people are energetic and fond of sporting. The World Cup is a great tournament of football, so they must be attractive. On the other hand, now the electronic devices are developing rapidly, more people have s
18、mart phones, tablets and computers. Then to watch the World Cup becomes much easier. US viewers have so far watched nearly 30m hours of streaming video on ESPN s World Cup website and apps, the network said, beating the previous record of 20.4m viewing hours during NBC s 2012 Olympics coverage. Univ
19、ision has streamed 1.5m hours since the start of the tournament. Last weeks USA vs. Germany match drew a record 1.7m streaming viewers to ESPN at its peak, with streaming on Univision peaking at 747,000. Tuesdays USA vs. Belgium match peaked at I.Sm streams on ESPN and 680,000 on Univision. In compa
20、rison, live streaming of Januarys Super Bowl peaked at 1.1m. While the elimination of the US team leaves a question mark over US fans interest in the rest of the tournament, Univisions audience for non-US games has been robust. Univision said its broadcast on Sunday of the Mexico vs. Netherlands mat
21、ch was the most-watched programme, of any kind, in US Spanish-language TV history, with an average 10.4m viewers. Its audiences have been the largest in cities with large Spanish-speaking populations, such as Miami, Los Angeles, Houston and New York. With most matches being shown during business hou
22、rs, Americans are increasingly turning to their devices, such as smart phones, tablets and computers to keep up with the tournament. Fifa, footballs governing body, said US fans make up 20 percent of its global digital audience and are spending more time on its website and apps than fans in Brazil,
23、Germany, England and France combined. With different kind of electronic devices to watch World Cup, the number of audience becomes larger. The flood of demand caused some problems with ESPN s feeds, leading frustrated viewers to take to Twitter to complain about the match cutting out. That had also
24、happened during the USA vs. Germany game. What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs? A. The World Cup broadcast has broken its record in America. B. Americans interest in football has surged this year. C. Smart phones and tablets become more and more popular. D. Americans were not intereste
25、d in The World Cup previously.4、Passage 27 Results showed that at least a tenth of the Harvard first-year undergraduates polled admitted to having cheated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework. An anonymous survey by Harvards newspap
26、er has revealed a surprising pattern of academic dishonesty among students entering the US universities. The survey by The Harvard Crimson was emailed to the incoming first year undergraduates; 1,600 students responded. Results showed that at least a tenth of the students polled admitted to having c
27、heated on an exam prior to starting at the university, while almost half admitted to cheating on their homework. Athletes were apparently the most prone to cheating. 20 percent of students who played a university sport admitted to cheating on an exam compared to 9 percent of students who did not. Th
28、e survey also revealed that men were not only more likely to cheat but were also more likely to admit to it. The results, compared to a previous survey done on the class of 2013, suggested that cheating may be becoming more commonplace. Of the outgoing seniors only 7 percent admitted to cheating in
29、an exam and another 7 percent said they had been dishonest on a take-home test. 32 percent of the seniors said they had cheated on homework during their undergraduate years. The surveys come in the wake of a cheating scandal at the university which saw 120 students investigated for sharing answers o
30、n an exam in - 2012. One recent graduate stated: Cheating was commonplace when I was at Harvard, especially with students in their first year or two. I would say as many as 60 per cent of students took notes into some exams. No one really cared the faculty, well some of them at least, seemed to reco
31、gnize and yet ignore the problem. In an email to NBC News, Jeff Neal, a Harvard representative, explained that a committee, made up of faculty, staff and students had been established to tackle cheating, which is a national problem in American education. He added: While the vast majority of Harvard
32、and other students do their. work honestly, beginning this year Harvard College has implemented a new, more robust strategy of communicating with all students， particularly first-year students,about the importance-and the ways to achieve-academic integrity. In a rebuff to critics who say university has become little more than an expensive party, 84 per cent of the responding undergraduates fully expected to prioritize their academics over extracurricular activities, sport, employment and their social lives. Not a single stu
