第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Even looking back on the revolutionary changes the Internet has brought to our lives,the future of it is still beyond imagination.But what is clear is making the best use of the Internet will be of ever-greater importance to promoting economic development and social progress.
Already Chinese companies that are seizing the opportunities presented by the Internet occupy a place in global industry.The rise of e-commerce（电子商务）is particularly noticeable in China,where it is common for the majority of young people to do shopping online,which not only saves them time,hut also saves them money.
For the vast rural areas,where the majority of poverty-stricken（穷困的）people live,the growing popularity of Internet technology will hopefully help lift people out of poverty.There have been reports about how some rural villagers sell their agricultural products online and some use the Internet to get in touch with their customers,which may make it easier for them to make decisions.Still they only account for 28.6 percent of the total 618 million internet users nationwide.So much can still be done to further popularize the use of the Internet and promote e-commerce in rural areas.
Looking further ahead,the development of the Internet can strengthen the connection among different economies.No one can tell how much potential there is to be unlocked by the effective use of Internet technology to promote the manufacturing industry（制造业）and the service industry.And with government,it is not just time and cost benefits that are the potential fruits of Internet technology,because the Internet will also help promote policy-making and public services.
1、What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Chinese companies. B．Online stores.
C．Online shoppers. D．Internet users.
2、What does the example of some rural villagers show?
A．The Internet is not common in rural areas.
B．Rural villagers have less access to the Internet.
C．Rural areas have done little to popularize the Internet.
D．The Internet does contribute to economic development.
3、What benefit can government get from the use of the Internet?
A．Promoted policy-making.
B．More developed service industry.
C．Increased manufacturing industry.
D．Improved connection among economies.
22．（8分）Bullying (欺凌) among schoolchildren is nothing new. Calling someone names, stealing their possessions, threatening and even beating them up are all well-established bullying techniques. Yet for young people today there is a relatively new form of bullying which can occur even when the bullies are nowhere near their victims— and it can have equal, if not more damaging effects.
Online-bullying is one of the downsides of new technology and involves using devices like mobile phones and computers. Online-bullies can strike at any time, no matter where they, or their victims are. About 22 percent of young people in the UK claim to have suffered from online-bullying.
Not only are online-bullies harder to avoid, they are also harder to catch. It is all too easy to send an anonymous (匿名的) threat by text on a pay-as-you-go phone with an unknown number. It takes no time at all to set up a false Facebook, Twitter, blog or social network account and to post an insulting message. And, if you know how to hide your IP address, you can upload an offensive video to a website like You Tube and your victim wouldn’t know who to blame.
One of the most upsetting things about online-bullying is that it can involve more people than traditional forms of bullying. A bully can insult you or tell lies about you and share that information with the entire school at the touch of a button-and for some teenagers that is all too hard to bear. The UK Charity Beatbullying suggests that up to 44% of suicides among ten-to-fourteen-year-olds may be bullying-related.
The good news is that the world is starting to wise up to online-bullying. Schools and websites like http://www.chlidnet-int.org/ offer lots of advice and victim support and social network sites now advise users to think carefully about their privacy settings so that personal information is only shared with friends.
1、Which of the following is NOT the way of bullying according to Paragraph 1?
A．Shouting abuse at somebody. B．Stealing somebody’s things.
C．Frightening somebody. D．Making a call to somebody.
2、The underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A．Benefits B．effects
C．disadvantages D．points
3、According to the writer, it is difficult to ________.
A．download a false video B．post a unfriendly message
C．know who sends online-bullies D．set up a true Facebook account
4、Why do online-bullying involve more people than traditional forms of bullying?
A．More people like to tell lies.
B．Online-bullying is easy to spread.
C．More people want to become famous.
D．More people like to make fun of others.
5、What could be the best title of the passage?
A．Bullying is harmful.
B．Bullying goes high-tech.
C．Online-bullying is hard to catch.
D．People can get rid of online-bullying.
23．（8分） Supercomputers which can analyse blood samples and predict which patients are likely to become seriously ill could save tens of thousands of lives a year, it was revealed last night, according to The Daily Express.
The artificial intelligence (AI) system, developed at University College London and set to be piloted in NHS hospitals later this year, will screen “at risk” patients so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: “I am so excited about this form of technology.”Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. “I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was — and signals a completely new example in the way we manage healthcare.”
The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill.
He found the technique forecast outcomes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. “This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient.” Prof Young said, “Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.”
1、What does the underlined phrase “screen” in Paragraph2 mean?
A．comfort. B．treat.
C．spot. D．nurse.
2、How do supercomputers help save lives?
A．By storing blood samples.
B．By analyzing patients’ cases.
C．By observing changes in blood cells.
D．By assisting doctors with their operations.
3、Why did Professor Young mention the Industrial Revolution?
A．To show the influence of AI.
B．To stress the importance of health care.
C．To introduce the topic of supercomputers.
D．To present the achievement he has accomplished.
4、What do we know about the new technology?
A．It helps patients recover earlier.
B．It has helped save thousands of lives.
C．It will promote the health service greatly.
D．It is intended for patients with kidney diseases.
24．（8分） Since App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired.
Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon(优惠券) for one thing: There’s so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose.
It isn’t consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy.
So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services.
Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content is similar-carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing.
Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm（运算法则）． But we＇ ve seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube They feed you only what you’ve already said you like, not things you may not know you re into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content he way forward cant simply be more or better algorithms.
Instead, it's time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from.
As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less.
1、What will too much choice of content on the market result in?
A．The shutdown of companies B．The anxiety of consumers
C．The poor quality of products D．The slowdown of economy
2、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A．Content companies should withdraw their offerings online
B．Content companies should post their offerings on App Store
C．Content companies adopt different methods to narrow the consumers focus
D．Content companies open their own streaming services on You Tube
3、How do algorithms probably respond to consumers needs?
A．They make a better choice for them B．They help to remove disturbing content

C．They change their interest in digital media D．They fail to offer what they possibly like
4、What is the authors attitude towards limiting the choice consumers have
A．Approving. B．Skeptical
C．Opposing. D．Neutral
