Bradley McConachie, a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago. Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China". Bradley was lucky to win the most "likes" for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer. All the winners’ experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by mid-September. Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs. “I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable： the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning" view of the coastline. “I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series. It was nice to experience these little touches. I was happy to be a part of that experience!” Bradley said. 【1】What made Bradley's life more colorful? A.Obtaining his PhD. B.The cultural exchanges project. C.The research about Beijing University. D.The interest in international relations. 【2】Why was Bradley given the chance? A.He produced the reality show. B.His life in China was interesting. C.He was one of the top 20 winners. D.He liked photo stories most. 【3】Which of the following best explains “stunning" in Paragraph 4? A.Fantastic. B.Confusing. C.Agreeable. D.Extreme. 【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.It's difficult to produce moving TV series. B.Beijing and Shanghai are historical sites. C.Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners. D.Many Australians know little about China. |

Our ability to collect data gets far ahead of our ability to fully use it, yet data may hold the key to solving some of the biggest global challenges facing us today. Take, for instance, the frequent outbreaks of waterborne diseases as a consequence of war or natural disasters. The most recent example can be found in the country, where roughly 10,000 new suspected cases of cholera(霍乱) are reported each week — and history is filled with similar stories. What if we could better understand the environmental factors that contributed to the disease, predict which communities are at higher risk, and put in place protective measures to stop the spread? Answers to this question and others like it could potentially help us prevent a catastrophe. As a big data scientist, I studied data from wide-ranging, public sources to identify patterns, hoping to predict trends that could be a threat to global security. Various data streams are important because the ground truth data (such as surveys) is often delayed, limited, incorrect or, sometimes, nonexistent. For example, knowing the incidence(发生率) of mosquito-borne disease in communities would help us predict the risk of mosquito-spread disease such as dengue, the leading cause of illness and death in the tropics. However, mosquito data at a global (and even national) level is not accessible. To address this gap, we’re using other sources such as satellite pictures, climate data and population information to forecast the risk of dengue. Specifically, we had success in predicting the spread of dengue in Brazil at the regional, state and city level using these data streams as well as clinical observation data and online searchers that used terms related to the disease. While our predictions aren’t perfect, they show promise. Similarly, to forecast the flu season, we have found that online searches can complement(补充) clinical data. Because the rate of people searching the internet for flu symptoms often increases during their beginning, we can predict a sharp increase in cases where clinical data delays. All of this shows the potential of big data. The information is there; now it’s time to use it. 【1】What do the examples in paragraphs 2 and 4 show? A.Big data is still hard to get and use. B.People aren’t skilled at dealing with big data. C.Big data is not always an imagined method. D.Catastrophes might be prevented with big data. 【2】According to the text, survey data . A.is a main form of multiple data streams B.is an effective way to collect information C.is sometimes unreliable and unavailable D.is a timely alternative to multiple data streams 【3】What does the underlined part “this gap” in paragraph 5 refer to? A.The lack of big data on mosquitoes. B.The lack of different data streams. C.The risk of an outbreak of a disease. D.The ignorance of how a disease spreads. 【4】What’s the best title of the text? A.How do we collect and use data? B.What are the challenges facing us now? C.How can big data help save the world? D.What is the answer to preventing catastrophes? |

Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. Key skill set for success is persistence (毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence. BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time，the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school. "There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers，"Padilla-Walker said. "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key to a child's life success.” Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian:rigid，demanding or controlling. Rather，an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics:children feel warmth and love from their father；responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权). In the study，about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time，children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence，which leads to better outcomes in school. This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence，which is an avenue of future research. 【1】What is special about the BYU professors' study? A.It centered on fathers' role in parenting. B.It was based on a number of large families. C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles. D.It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school. 【2】What would an authoritative father do when raising his children? A.Ignore their demands. B.Make decisions for them. C.Control their behaviors. D.Explain the rules to them. 【3】Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers? A.Single parents. B.Children aged from 11 to 14. C.Authoritarian fathers. D.Mothers in two-parent homes. 【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers. B.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future. C.Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father. D.Family Relationship Influences School Performance. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “Today's test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” announced Miss Natasha in the classroom. Miss Natasha got everyone's test papers, cleared her throat to announce the results and distributed the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about their scores that would be announced soon. Ali and Bob have been competitors since class one and each year either one of the two came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between both of them, and they eagerly awaited the results. “Peter, 18,”announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper,“Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19 ... and lastly Alia, 15.” When Miss Natasha had distributed the test papers in class, everyone found out that Ali beat Bob by one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy as he accepted everyone's congratulations. As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. Now if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position. Considering the situation, he remained quiet and went home. But all day he kept thinking about it. Should he or shouldn't he tell Miss Natasha about it? He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn't tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn't tell the teacher about it and stayed the position-holder in class, he wouldn't rightfully take the position as it clearly belonged to Bob. This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would lose his first position. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class. 注意:1. 续写词数应为150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,”his mum continued. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
