2、Questions are based on the following passage.
For most of recorded human history, marriage was an arrangement designed to maximize (化) financial stability. Elizabeth Abbott, the author of A History of Marriage, explains that in ancient times, marriage was intended to unite various parts of a community, establishing beneficial economic relationships.
"Because it was a financial arrangement, it was thought of and operated as such. It was a contract between families. For example, let's say I'm a printer and you make paper, we might want a marriage between our children because that will improve our businesses." Even the honeymoon, often called the "bridal tour", was a communal ( 群体的) affair, with parents, brothers and sisters, and other close relatives traveling together to reinforce their new familial relationships.
By the Middle Ages, gender inequality was not only honored in social customs, but also common law. In most European countries, married women were forced to give up control over any personal wealth and property rights to their husbands. Eventually, the system became known as "coverture" ( 有夫之妇 ) ,whereby married couples became a single legal entity in which the husband had all power.
By the 19th century, the conflict between love and money had come to a head. As the Western world advanced towards a more modern, industrialized society built on wage labor, emotional bonds became more private, focused more on immediate family and friends than communal celebrations. Simultaneously, mass media helped make sentimental inclinations a larger part of popular culture,with the flourishing of holidays like Valentine's Day and various hobbies.
Culturally speaking, love was in the air, and the union of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840 only served to seal the deal. Though Victoria and Albert's marriage was sanctioned by their royal families, it was also hailed as a true "love match", strengthening the new ideal of romantic partnership. Their wedding also coincided with the surge of early print media, making the event visible to readers all across Europe and North America.
What's the purpose of marriage in ancient times?
A.To unite various communities.
B.To have economic benefits.
C.To pursue true love.
D.To carry on the tamily line.

A."This season there is something at the seaside worse than sharks," declared a newspaper in 1890. "It is the amateur photographer." The invention of the handheld camera shocked the 19th-century society, as did the "Kodak fiends"( 柯达狂人 ) who patrolled beaches snapping sunbathers.
B.More than a century later, amateur photography is once more a troubling issue. Citizens of rich countries have got used to being watched by closed-circuit cameras that guard roads and cities. But as cameras shrink and the cost of storing data falls sharply, it is individuals who are taking the pictures.
C.Some 10,000 people are already testing a prototype of Google Glass, aminiature computer worn like eyeglasses. It aims to have all the functions of a smartphone in a device put on a person's nose. Its flexible frame holds both a camera and a tiny screen, and makes it easy for users to take photos, send messages and search for things online.
D.Glass may fail, but a wider revolution is under way. In Russia, where insurance fraud is commonly seen, at least 1 million cars already have cameras on their dashboards ( 仪表盘 ) that film the road ahead. Police forces in America are starting to issue officers with video cameras, pinned to their uniforms, which record their interactions with the public. Collar-cams help anxious cat-lovers watch their wandering pets carefully. Paparazzi ( 狗仔队) have started to use drones to photograph celebrities in their gardens or on yachts. Hobbyists are even devising clever ways to get cameras into space.
E.Ubiquitous recording can already do a lot of good. Some patients with brain injuries have been given cameras: looking back at images can help them recover their memories. Dash-cams can help resolve insurance claims and encourage people to drive better. Police-cams can discourage criminals from making groundless complaints against police officers and officers from abusing criminals. A British soldier has just been convicted of murdering a wounded Afghan because the act was captured by a colleague's helmet-camera. Videos showing the line of sight of experienced surgeons and engineers can help train their successors and be used in liability disputes.
Lenses linked to computers are reading street-signs and product labels to partially sighted people.
F.Optimists see broader benefits ahead. Plenty of people carry activity trackers, worn on the wrist or placed in a pocket, to monitor their exercise or sleep patterns; cameras could do the job more effectively, perhaps also spying on their wearers' diets. "Personal black boxes" might be able to transmit pictures if their owner falls victim to an accident or crime. Tiny cameras trained to recognise faces could become personal digital assistants, making conversations as searchable as documents and e-mails. Already a small band of "life-loggers" ( 生活记录器 ) stored years of footage (镜头) into databases of "e-memories".
G.Not everybody will be thrilled by these prospects. A perfect digital memory would probably be a pain, preserving unhappy events as well as cherished ones. Suspicious spouses and employers might feel entitled to review it.
H.The bigger worry is for those in front of the cameras, not behind them. School bullies already use illegal snaps from mobile phones to embarrass their victims. The web is full of secret photos of women, snapped in public places. Wearable cameras will make such immoral photography easier. And the huge, looming issue is the growing sophistication of face-recognition technologies, which are starting to enable businesses and governments to get information about individuals by searching the billions of images online.
The combination of cameras everywhere--in bars, on streets, in offices, on people's heads--with the algorithms ( 算法) run by social networks and other service providers that process stored and published images is a powerful and alarming one. We may not be far from a world in which your movements could be tracked all the time, where a stranger walking down the street can immediately identify exactly who you are.
I.Well, we still strongly held beliefs that technological progress should generally be welcomed, not feared--runs up against an even deeper impulse,in favour of liberty. Freedom has to include some right to privacy: if every move you make is being recorded, liberty is limited.
J.One option is to ban devices that seem annoying. The use of dashboardcameras is forbidden in Austria. Drivers who film the road can face a 10,000($13,40O.fine. But banning devices deprives people of their benefits. Societywould do better to develop rules about where and how these technologies canbe used, just as it learned to cope with the Kodak fiends.
K.For the moment, companies are behaving in a cautious way. Google hasbanned the use of face-recognition in apps on Glass and its camera is designedto film only in short bursts. Japanese digital camera-makers ensure their products emit a shutter sound every time a picture is taken. Existing laws to control stalking or harassment can be extended to deal with peeping drones.
L.Still, as cameras become smaller, more powerful and ubiquitous, new laws may be needed to preserve liberty. Governments should be granted the right to use face-recognition technology only where there is a clear public good
(identifying a bank robber for instancE., When the would-be identifiers are companies or strangers in the street, the starting-point should be that you have the right not to have your identity automatically revealed. The principle is the same as for personal data. Just as Facebook and Google should be forced to establish high default settings ( 默认习题设置 ) for privacy (which can be reduced at the user's request), the new cameras and recognition technologies should be regulated so as to let you decide whether you remain anonymous( 匿名的) or not.
M.Silicon Valley emphasises the liberating power of technology--and it is often right. But the freedom that a small device gives one person can sometimes take away liberty from another. Liberal politicians have been lazy about defending the idea of personal space, especially online. The fight should start now. Otherwise, in the blink of an eye, privacy could be gone.
Not everyone feels happy about the prospects of cameras.

A cup of coffee in the morning may improve long-term memory, accordingto a new study.
The study, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, found that partici-pants who had been given caffeine ( 咖啡因 ) pills had better memory(1)Scientists studied 160 participants aged 18 to 30, and showed them(2)photos
of items at the beginning, asking study subjects to classify the items as "indoor"
or "outdoor". Half the participants were given a caffeine pill after that(3), the
other half aplacebo ( 安慰剂). One day later, all the participants were shown the
same pictures, as well as some they hadn't seen before. They were asked whether
each photo was new, old or(4)to the originals.

5、Questions are based on the following passage.
Americans seem to be cooling toward global warming. Just 57 percent think there is sol-id evidence the world is getting warmer, down 20 points in just three years, a new poll says.
And the share of people who believe pollution caused by humans is causing temperatures torise has also taken a dip, even as the US and world forums gear up for (准备) possible ac-tion against climate change.
In a poll of 1,500 adults released by the Pew Research Centre for the People & the Press,the number of people saying there is strong scientific evidence that the Earth has gottenwarmer over the past few decades is down from 71 percent in April of last year and from 77percent when Pew started asking the question in 2006. The number of people who see thesituation as a serious problem also has declined.
The steepest drop has occurred during the past year, as Congress and the Obama admin-istration have taken steps to control heat-trapping emissions for the first time and interna-tional negotiations for a new treaty to slow global warming have been under way. At thesame time, there has been mounting scientific evidence of climate change -- from meltingice caps to the world's oceans hitting the highest monthly recorded temperatures this summer.
The poll was released a day after 18 scientific organisations wrote Congress to reaf-firm the consensus behind global warming. A federal government report recently found thatglobal warming is upsetting the Arctic's thermostat (恒温器).
Only about a third, or 36 percent of the respondents, feel that human activities -- suchas pollution from power plants, factories and automobiles -- are behind a temperature in-crease. That's down from 47 percent from 2006 through last year's poll.
"The priority that people give to pollution and environmental concerns and a whole hostof other issues is down because of the economy and because of the focus on other things,"suggested Andrew Kohut, the director of the research center, which conducted the poll fromSept.30 to Oct.4. "When the focus is on other things, people forget and see these issues asless grave," Andrew Weaver said, a professor of climate analysis at the University of Victo-ria in British Columbia, "and politics could be drowning out scientific awareness."
The phrase "taken a dip" (Line 4, Para.1) is the closest in meaning to __________.
A.plunged into danger
B.been enjoyed
C.undergone a decline
D.been drowned

8、Questions are based on the following passage.
As an Alaskan fisherman, Timothy June,54, used to think that he was safe from industrial pollutants(污染物) at his home in Haines--a town with a population of 2,400 people and 4,000 eagles,with 8 million acres of protected wild land nearby. But in early 2007, June agreed to take part in a 36 of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people's blood and ur/ne (尿) were tested for 37 of chemicals--in this case, three potentially dangerous classes of compounds found in common household 38 like face cream, tin cans, and shower curtains. The
results--39 in November in a report called"Is It in Us?" by an environmental group--were rather worrying. Every one of the participants,40 from an minois state senator to a Massachusetts minister, tested positive for all three classes of pollutants. And while the 41 presence of these chemicals does not 42 indicate a health risk, the fact that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all 43 June and his fellow participants.
Clearly, there are chemicals in our bodies that don't 44 there. A large, ongoing study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found 148 chemicals in Americans of all ages.
And in 2005, the Environmental Working Group found an 45 of 200 chemicals in the blood of 10 new-borns."Our babies are being born pre-polluted," says Sharyle Patton of Commonweal, which cosponsored "Is It in Us?This is going to be the next big environmental issue after climate change."
A. analyses
B. average
C. belong
D. demonstrated
E.excess
F. extending
G. habitually
H. necessarily
I. products
