二．完形填空
At noon today I said goodbye to New York forever, thus joining that growing group of people who, for one reason or another, have decided the city is no longer to our liking.
A lot of literature has been written on this 16 —the disappointed New Yorker—and I’ve read much of it, but none of the cases seem to fit 17 my feelings about the city. I don’t hate New York; there is really nothing there to hate and 18 very little to love. It is a city of indifference, and that’s the problem. I found I could only 19 indifference in return.
A few days ago in Central Park I saw a man leaning on a litter can drinking a carton of orange juice, and when he finished he tossed the container not in the can but on the 20 . I don’t understand this, but there is a lot about New York I don’t understand. 21 I don’t understand why the city has no soul. Vienna almost suffocates the citizens with care, Paris manages to inspire 22 own with a sense of their fulfillment; but New York’s key 23 is that it doesn’t really care about anything.
I recall, 24 , the New Year’s Eve when, after a dinner party, a friend of mine went down to the street to get a taxicab and the cab turned too sharply 25 hit him. His wife and I took him in the cab to Lenox Hill Hospital, and while we were trying to get emergency 26 for him, the cabdriver was 27 at us for the fare. Such things may happen in other large cities, and undoubtedly 28 , but they reflect a lack of caring, a sickness in the 29 that I find difficult to forgive and impossible to 30 .
And so I come to the bottom line. I don’t want to live in a city where a woman 31 for a lost dog and receives dozens of telephone calls from a variety of people saying they are torturing the animal and will continue to do so 32 she pays large sums of money; or in a city where I am 33 I must always have a $10 in my wallet for a possible robber because without that I will surely be stabbed; or in a city where my mailman leaves a note in my box at Christmas 34 the size of the tip he expects. Above all, I want to get away from the indifference of New York. I want to care and it may sound 35 — be cared about.
16. A. field B. subject C. issue D. question
17. A. closely B. precisely C. perfectly D. naturally
18. A. certainly B. exactly C. hopefully D. totally
19. A. show B. offer C. give D. seek
20. A. chair B. ground C. table D. tree
21. A. Mainly B. Generally C. Relatively D. Luckily
22. A. his B. their C. its D. her
23. A. character B. taste C. habit D. mood
24. A. once B. too C. yet D. however
25. A. and B. to C. that D. but
26. A. doctors B. ambulances C. treatment D. medicine
27. A. gazing B. waving C. pointing D. screaming
28. A. have B. will C. do D. had
29. A. brain B. mind C. heart D. soul
30. A. overcome B. ignore C. underestimate D. forget
31. A. begs B. apologizes C. advertises D. shops
32. A. unless B. if C. since D. although
33. A. urged B. informed C. told D. threatened
34. A. informing B. suggesting C. writing D. explaining
35. A. disrespectful B. subjective C. impolite D. sorrowful

三．阅读理解
Some of the old worries about artificial intelligence were closely linked to the question of whether computers could think. The first massive electronic computers, capable of rapid calculation and little or no creative activity, were soon dubbed(取绰号) “electronic brains”. A reaction to this terminology quickly followed, computers were called “high speed idiots”, an effort to protect human vanity(虚荣心) . But not everyone realized the implications of the high-speed idiot tag. It has not been pointed out enough that even the human idiot is one of the most intelligent life forms on earth. If the early computers were even that intelligent, it was already a remarkable state of affairs.
One consequence of speculation(推测) about the possibility of computer thought was that we were forced to examine with new care the idea of thought in general. It soon became clear that we were not sure what we meant by such terms as thought and thinking. We tend to assume that human beings think, some more than others, though we often call people thoughtless or unthinking. Dreams cause a problem, partly because they usually happen outside our control. They are obviously some type of mental experience, but are they a type of thinking? And the question of nonhuman life forms adds further problems. Many of us would maintain that some of the higher animals-dogs, cats, apes, and so on - are capable of at least basic thought, but what about fish and insects? If thinking is demonstrated by evident electrical activity in the brain, then many species are capable of thought. Once we have formulated clear ideas on what thought is in biological creatures, it will be easier to discuss the question of thought in artifacts(人工制品). And what is true of thought is also true of the many other mental processes. One of the immense benefits of a research is that we are being forced to scrutinize(仔细研究), with new rigor, the working of the human mind.
It is already clear that machines have superior mental abilities to many life forms. No fern(蕨类) or oak tree can play chess as well as even the simplest digital computer, nor can frogs weld(焊) car bodies as well as robots. It seems that, viewed in terms of intellect, the computer should be set well above plants and most animals. Only the higher animals can compete with computers with regard to intellect and even then with diminishing success.
36. Why was “Electronic brains” changed to “high speed idiots”?
A. People felt threatened.
B. People wanted to show their superiority in a superficial way.
C. People thought that even human idiots are cleverer than computers.
D. People didn’t realize the implications of the high-speed idiot tag.
37. What was one result of speculating whether computers could think?
A. We had to figure out how human brain works.
B. We had to reconsider what thought mean in general.
C. We had to get mental processes under control.
D. We had to determine if thinking can be demonstrated.
38. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning the fern and the oak tree?
A. Digital computers are the most intelligent in the world.
B. Human beings are the most intelligent in the world.
C. Lower animals are unable to think like human beings.
D. Some creatures are inferior to computers in mental abilities.

In a fast changing world, people seldom see a device or equipment that lasts for a long time these days. There are always new inventions, different models, or upgrades cropping up one after the other and as consumers people highly anticipate the faster and better kind than what they already have. Therefore it is quite a surprise that a mini projector(投影仪) is still in use today not only in small scale businesses, schools, or homes but in big corporations and institutions as well. Sure it has a few additional features here and there but the main function is the same.
A mini projector today has been fitted with top of the line parts and high quality materials to ensure its efficiency and performance can meet the demands of whoever it is for. It is so designed that it can be used indoors or outdoors with the same functions. The mini projector, as the name suggests, is handy and compact and can easily be brought anywhere by just one person. It can support a broader scope of signals now; USB and card readers are now installed to cope with the pieces of equipment that people use today to store data.
It can be used at home where it can provide as a form of entertainment or start a conversation during family bonding times. The owner can easily use the mini projector to share with other members the photos and videos of one particular vacation, or just to play a series of beautiful landscapes.
Offices also benefit from a mini projector especially during an important meeting or presentation. With at par resolution(标准的分辨率), employees can easily decipher(辨认) the text or data with the use of a mini projector, its bright LED light is sufficient enough to provide a bright and clear image without distortion(变形). Users can now bring this anywhere with them and can be especially useful on a location where the voltage(电压) is unknown.
Perhaps one of the more common places where a mini projector is used constantly is in schools. Teachers or professors use this as an aid to a lesson or discussion to provide better visual aids than usual and to even deliver their lecture with the use of a mini projector and minimize the use of a board and writing pen. It is often said that children have a very short attention span but they remember things more when things are presented to them visually. This is the perfect use of a mini projector in classrooms where kids easily forget their lesson for the day. Teachers use this to show the class pictures or illustrations that tie with the topics for students to remember.
