2.Online purchases have soared during the Chinese New Year holiday.
It's the dead of winter in Shanghai.Delivery man Liu Jia and his colleagues start the day when most of people are still asleep.Working at a distribution point of a shopping website in Shanghai,they promise to deliver products within three hours of an order being placed."I buy most of my grocery online,especially the heavy items.It's convenient and cheap compared to the supermarket in my neighborhood,"Customer Chen Hong said.Orders such as these have increased for the New Year,forcing Liu Jia to work around the clock."The orders are usually rice,laundry detergent(洗滌劑),tissue paper and snacks,mostly food and articles for everyday use,"Liu Jia said.
According to an industry report,China's B2C (Business to Customer) online sales are growing at an annual rate of 25percent.Competition between online giants like Taobao and Jingdong is now fiercer than ever."The  essence of online shopping is that customers can buy products easily.So the competition is about:firstly,the range of products; secondly,the depth under each category of products; third,the price and user experience,"Pan Biao,vice president of YHD.com,said.E-commerce is one of China's fastest growing sectors.It's changed people's buying habits,and even their living habits.And it's had a huge impact on the retail industry.To make online shopping more convenient,major sites are investing heavily to build payment systems and logistics(物流)networks.
On average,a retailer now can deliver goods to the majority of cities within 3days,and to towns and more remote areas in the country within a week."Competition will produce a number of good companies,making better products and services that customers need.In the field of E-commerce,we are leading the world in terms of products,services and industry development,"Liu Yinbin,associate professor with Dept of Information Management,Shanghai University,said.Experts also say customers are increasingly making their online purchases from mobile devices,opening up vast new opportunities and competition for retailers.

32.All of the following about Liu Jia are true EXCEPT thatA.
A.he works as an online store owner in Shanghai
B.he has to work around the clock to deliver so many products
C.he starts working when most of people are still asleep

分析 本文主要介紹了在中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日-春節(jié)期間網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物急劇增加這一現(xiàn)象.在春節(jié)假期期間,網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物猛增. 送貨人劉佳和他的同事們開始新的一天時(shí)而大多數(shù)人還在睡夢(mèng)中.他們承諾在三小時(shí)內(nèi)發(fā)出訂單交付產(chǎn)品.新一年的訂單增加,迫使劉佳日夜以繼日地工作. 根據(jù)行業(yè)報(bào)告,中國(guó)的B2C(商家對(duì)客戶)在線銷售的增長(zhǎng)率大約是百分之二十五.網(wǎng)絡(luò)巨頭如淘寶和京東之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)現(xiàn)在比以往更激烈了.網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物改變了人們的消費(fèi)習(xí)慣,甚至他們的生活習(xí)慣,這是對(duì)零售業(yè)的巨大的影響.越來越多的客戶進(jìn)行在線購(gòu)買移動(dòng)設(shè)備,開辟?gòu)V闊的新機(jī)遇和零售商的競(jìng)爭(zhēng).

解答 32.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的第二句話"Delivery man Liu Jia and his colleagues start the day when most of people are still asleep.送貨人劉佳和他的同事們開始新的一天時(shí)大多數(shù)人仍然在睡覺."可知?jiǎng)⒓咽且幻爝f員工,而不是電商老板,與原文表達(dá)的意思不相符,故答案選A.根據(jù)第二段的倒數(shù)第二句話"Orders such as these have increased for the New Year,forcing Liu Jia to work around the clock.新一年的訂單增加,迫使劉佳日以繼夜的工作."可知選項(xiàng)B與原文意思相符合.根據(jù)第二段的第二句話"Delivery man Liu Jia and his colleagues start the day when most of people are still asleep."可知選項(xiàng)C與原文的意思相符合.根據(jù)第二段的第三句話"they promise to deliver products within three hours of an order being placed."可知選項(xiàng)D與原文意思相符合.
33.B 詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)后面的表語從句"that customers can buy products easily提到消費(fèi)者可以更容易買到產(chǎn)品"可知是對(duì)前面該詞的解釋,故advantage意為"優(yōu)點(diǎn)"與該詞意思相近,可知答案選B.
34.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段中"Competition will produce a number of good companies,making better products and services that customers need競(jìng)爭(zhēng)將產(chǎn)生一些好的公司,提供客戶需要的更好的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)"一句可知Liu Yinbin認(rèn)為競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是有好處的,故答案D正確.
35.B 標(biāo)題判斷題. 根據(jù)文章的第一段"Online purchases have soared during the Chinese New Year holiday.在春節(jié)假期期間,網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物已經(jīng)飆升."和下文內(nèi)容可知,本文主要介紹了在中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日-春節(jié)期間網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物急劇增加這一現(xiàn)象.故答案B正確.其他三項(xiàng)只是在文章中的某個(gè)段落中做了闡述,可作為文章主旨大意的論據(jù)來用.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是政治經(jīng)濟(jì)類閱讀.政治類文章多采用記敘文形式,我們可采取"順讀法",以便抓關(guān)鍵語句,領(lǐng)會(huì)文章主旨;而經(jīng)濟(jì)類文章則多采用說明文形式,我們則可以采取"逆讀法",先讀試題,再?gòu)奈恼轮胁檎矣杏眯畔ⅲ粲龅降拇_難讀的材料.
1.尋找主干:
根據(jù)英語中五種基本句型結(jié)構(gòu),把句子中的主語、謂語、賓語、表語等主要成分找出來,其他成分如定語、狀語、補(bǔ)語等則易于理解.找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半.
2.剔除從句:
在一個(gè)長(zhǎng)句中可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)若干個(gè)從句,在理解時(shí),如果把各個(gè)從句剔除出來單獨(dú)理解,然后把大意拼湊起來,整個(gè)長(zhǎng)句的意思就會(huì)明白六、七分.
3.辨別分句:
一個(gè)長(zhǎng)句如果是由幾個(gè)并列、轉(zhuǎn)折、遞進(jìn)、對(duì)比關(guān)系的分句組成,句中往往有表示這些分句關(guān)系的連接詞,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之間的邏輯關(guān)系,再把各層分句的意思加以連貫,整個(gè)長(zhǎng)句的句意基本上能躍然腦中.
4.尋找關(guān)鍵詞:
如果一個(gè)句子看完,一點(diǎn)句意的感覺也沒有,下下策就是抓住句中的關(guān)鍵詞,通過關(guān)鍵詞大體弄懂這個(gè)長(zhǎng)句的意思.

4.The most complex object known to humanity is the human brain-and not only is it complex,but it is one of the few natural phenomena that science has no consciousness of.To try to replicate (復(fù)制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride.But you have to start somewhere,and International Business Machines (IBM) and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL),in Switzerland,propose to start by replicating"in silico",one of the brain's building blocks.
In a partnership announced,the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模擬) of a structure known as a neo-cortical(新大腦皮質(zhì)的)column on a type of IBM supercomputer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes.If that works,they plan to use more powerful computers to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics(模仿) a brain.
In a real brain,a neo-cortical column is a cylindrical(圓柱形的)element about a third of a millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long.It is these columns,arranged side by side like the cells of a honeycomb,which make up the famous"grey matter"that has become shorthand for human intelligence.The Blue Gene/L supercomputer that will be used for the simulation consists of enough independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column.
The EPFL's contribution to the Blue Brain Project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave.The database from its Brain Mind Institute will provide the raw material for the simulation.Biologists and computer scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature.They will do so by assigning electrical properties(電能)to them,and telling them how to communicate with each other and how they should modify their connections with one another depending on their activity.
That will be no mean feat.Even a single nerve cell is complicated,not least because each one has about 10,000connections with others.And nerve cells come in great variety-relying,for example,on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across those connections.Eventually,however,a digital representation of an entire column Should occur.
Assuming that the growth of computing power continues to follow Moore's Law,the leader of IBM's side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen years.Such an artificial brain would,of course,be a powerful research tool.It would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a"web lab"to be conducted in seconds.The researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurological,disorders develop.But that is probably not the real reason for doing it.The most interesting question,surely,is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent,or conscious,or both.

62.In a real brain,a neo-cortical columnD.
A.looks like the cells of a honeycomb
B.is a simulation of a structure
C.is the famous"grey matter"
D.contains a large number of nerve cells
63.What does the underlined sentence"That will be no mean feat"in Paragraph 5indicate?A
A.It is rather difficult to connect the artificial nerve ceils up.
B.The function of chemical transmitters is hard to understand.
C.A digital representation of an entire column is time-consuming.
D.A single nerve cell is complicated to identify across connections.
64.The fundamental purpose of doing the research is probablyC.
A.to simulate an entire human brain in silico
B.to tell us how some certain disorders emerge
C.to discover how the artificial brain would work
D.to examine whether Moore's Law is still functioning
65.What type of writing is this passage?B
A.A science fiction                  
B.A research report
C.An official document              
D.A computer advertisement.
