单项选择题
1、Questions  are based on the following passage．
When young women were found to make only 82 percent of what their male peers do just one year
 out of college, many were at a loss to explain it．
 All the traditional reasons put forward to interpret the pay gap--that women fall behind when theyleave the workforce to raise kids, for example, or that they don't seek as many management rolesfailed to justify this one． These young women didn't have kids yet． And because they were just one yearremoved from their undergraduate degrees, few of these women yet had the chance to go after (muchless decline) leadership roles．
 But there are other reasons why the pay gap remains so persistent． The first is that no matter howmany women may be getting college degrees, the university experience is still an unequal one． Thesecondis that our higher education system is not designed to focus on the economic consequences ofour students' years on campus．
Now that women are the majority of college students and surpass men in both the number ofundergraduate and advanced degrees awarded, one might think the college campus m a pretty equalplace． It is not． Studies show that while girls do better than boys in high school, they start to trail offduring t~eir college years． They enroll in different kinds of classes, tend to major in less rigorous (非常) subjects, and generally head off with less ambitious plans．
．
As a result, it's not surprising that even the best educated young women enter the workplace with aslight disadvantage． Their college experience leaves them somewhat confused, still stumbling(栽倒) overthe dilemmas their grandmothers' generation sought to destroy． Are they supposed to be pretty or smart?Strong or sexy (性感的)? All their lives, today's young women have been pushed to embrace bothperfection and passionto pursue science and sports, math and theater--and do it all as well as theypossibly can No wonder they are not negotiating for higher salaries as soon as they get out of s~hool．They are too exhausted, and too scared of failing．
Traditionally, it is believed that women earn less than men because
A． they have failed to take as many rigorous courses
B． they do not feel as fit for management roles
C． they feel obliged to take care of their kids at home
D．they do not exhibit the needed leadership qualifies

3、根据材料，回答问题。
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices markedA．,B．, C． and D．. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

A．Electric cars.
B．Increasing fuel efficiency.
C．California's pollution laws.
D．Automobile safety.


4、 Passage Two
Questions are based on the following passage．
Real．time web search—-which scours only the latest updates to services like Twitter—is currently generating quite a buzz because it can provide a glimpse of what people around the world are thinking or doing at any given moment．Interest in this kind of search is so great that，according to recent leaks，Google is considering buying Twitter．
The latest research from the interact search giant，though，suggests that real—time results could be even more powerful—they may reveal the future as well as the present．
Google researchers Hyunyoung Choi and Hal Varian combined data from Google Trends on the popularity of different search terms with models used by economists to predict trends in areas such as travel and home sales．The result? Better forecasts in A．most every case．It works because searches reveal something about people’s intentions．Google has demonstrated before that search data can predict flu outbreaks，and last week World Bank economist Erik Feyen said he could cut errors in a model that forecasts lending to the private sector by 15% using Google search data．
But real-time results could have even more predictive power：knowing what people are actually doing，not just thinking，at a particular instant gives a strong hint of the future consequences．
Johan Bollen of Losalamos National Laboratory and alberto Pepe of the University of California，Los Angeles，applied a mood rating system to the text from over 10，000 Future Me emails sent in 2006 to gauge people’s hopes，fears and predictions for the future．They found that emails directed at 2007 to 2012 were significantly more depressed in tone than messages aimed at the subsequent six years．Could they have predicted the world’s current economic slump?
Without more data，that is no more than an intriguing possibility．So Bollen plans to look at more Future Me emails，as well as Twitter messages，to search for mood swings that foreshadow other economic changes．If he finds any such links．the sanle sources might be used to try and predict future economic fluctuations．
So will our online footsteps become a central part of economic forecasting? We’ll have to wait and see——or perhaps do a quick web search．
注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
What is real-time web search．1ike Twitter?
A．It tells us what people did in past days．
B．It generates quite a buzz in recent days．
C．It provides latest news about everything．
D．It informs what people do in the future．
