17.The truth was written all over her face.The eyes are the window to the soul.From those sayings,you would think that we could read faces.In fact,people tend to overestimate their ability to do it.
Most of us can't distinguish between certain expressions without contextual clues.In one study,participants were unable to tell whether faces in photos were showing pain or pleasure about a quarter of the time.In another,when people watched silent videos of the same person experiencing pain and faking pain,they couldn't tell which was which.
And yet,as bad as we are at reading expressions,we jump to all kinds of conclusions based on people's faces.We might scoff at the ancient physiognomy-assessing character on the basis of facial feature-but we unknowingly practice it daily.Recent research shows that while there's practically no evidence that faces reveal character,we nonetheless behave as if certain features signal certain traits.People with typically"female"facial features seem more trustworthy; those with lower eyebrows appear more controlling.In another study,people were ready to decide whether an unfamiliar face should be trusted after looking at it for just 200milliseconds.Even when given a chance to look longer,they rarely changed their mind.
Such judgments can defy logic.Subjects playing a trust game invested more money with a player who had a trustworthy face than with one who didn't-even when the two players had the same fame.Another study reported that judges needed less evidence to sentence a person with an untrustworthy face.And a researcher focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict found that a Palestinian peace offering was more likely to be accepted by Jewish Israeli if it was attributed to a politician with"babyfacedness".
Which brings us to a contradiction.A person's face may not reflect her nature,and yet research finds that specific facial features do seem to influence futures.U.S.Army War College graduates with controlling-looking faces are more likely than their peers to become generals; people with obvious cheekbones,appearing strong and  competent,are more likely to become CEOs of successful companies.This makes a certain sense.If everyone assumes strong-chinned Daniel is an ambitious person,he's more likely to become one.Perhaps by treating others as though their face reveals their character,we motivate them to become the people we assume them to be.
63.Miss Green wants to find a pet shop for her dog while she is on holiday.She is most likely to choose the shop's owner withB.
A.a(chǎn) strong chin

B.People are better at telling"pain"than"delight"from faces.
C.People consider it instructive to study the ancient physiognomy.

分析 本文講述人們可以從面部表情來(lái)判斷一個(gè)人,也會(huì)根據(jù)一個(gè)人的臉來(lái)做做出決定,研究表明臉會(huì)影響將來(lái)的性格.

解答 63.B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段提到People with typically"female"facial features seem more trustworthy有女性面部特征的人更值得信賴(lài),故選B項(xiàng).
64.A 考查推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段提到as bad as we are at reading expressions,we jump to all kinds ofconclusions based on people's faces.我們根據(jù)人臉得出結(jié)論就跟讀表情一樣糟糕,故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,選A.
65.D考查推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段提到nd a researcher focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict foundthat a Palestinian peace offering was more likely to be accepted by Jewish Israeli if it was attributed to a politician with"babyfacedness"可知人們很容易受到面部的影響,故選D項(xiàng).
66.D考查推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段提到A person's face may not reflect her nature,and yet research finds that specific facial features do seem to influence futures一個(gè)的臉不能影響他的品質(zhì),但研究發(fā)現(xiàn)特殊的面部特征會(huì)影響將來(lái),故選D項(xiàng).

7.What is big data exactly?Good question.After all,we've always had large amounts of data.As Laurie Miles,head,of analytics for big data specialist SAS,says,"The term big data has been around for decades and we've been,doing analytics all the time.It's not big; it's just bigger."Most traditional data was structured,or neatly organized in databases.Then the world went digital and the Internet came along.Most of what we1 do could be translated into data capable of being recorded,stored,searched,and analyzed.There was also so-called unstructured data generated by all our digital interactions (互動(dòng)),from emails to online'shopping,text messages to tweets,and Facebook updates to YouTube video's.
Some say that about 90% of all the data in the world today has been created in the past few years."About 75% of data is unstructured,coming from sources such as text voice and video,"says Mr Miles.
"Big data is not just historic business intelligence,''says Mr,Miles."It's the addition of real-time data and the ability to combine together several data sets that makes it so valuable."Practically,anyone who makes,grows and sells anything Can use big data analytics to make their manufacturing and production processes more efficient arid their marketing more targeted and cost-effective.
And many businesses are only just beginning to realize that data is something that they need to protect and use."Banks only use a third of their available data because it often sits in databases that are hard to access,"says Mr Miles,"We need to find ways to make this data more easily accessible."
Who owns it all?Social media platforms will often,say that their users own their own content,but then lay claim to how that content is used,reserving the right to share it with third parties!So when you tweet you effectively give up any control over how that tweet is used in future,even though Twitter terms and conditions say,"What's yours is yours."Privacy (隱私) and intellectual property1 laws have not kept up with the pace of technological change.

32.According to the first paragraph,big dataD.
A.is also called modern data                         
B.means we don't have enough data
C.gets its name from a research institute        
D.has been researched for many years
33.What contributes greatly to the development of unstructured data?B
A.The increasing number of databases.
B.Our increasing exposure to digital activities.
C.A great decrease in structured data.
D.The lack of people who can translate data.
34.What is the third paragraph mainly about?B
A.The future of big data.
B.The value of big data.
C.The protection of big data.
D.The problems of big data.
35.Why do banks only use a small part of their data?D
A.Because it has different resources.
B.Because the speed is too slow.
C.Because the cost is very high.
D.Because it is difficult to obtain.

(61)F.When I was a first year student I was a bit shy and I treated going to college as a huge life change.New circle of contacts made me hesitate to step outside my comfort zone.But finally I overcame my fears and inner constraint (拘束).There are many wonderful people who can give you valuable advice and support if you cannot make up your mind to do something.That's why you should try to be confident while expressing yourself.An active and funny college life will provide you with wonderful memories.
(62)D.There's a large amount of information you've got to know.You might understand how to register for classes,what the names of your professors are or how to do one or another task in a proper way.College is full of students who are former freshmen.They can give you a helping hand if you don't know something.Moreover,many professors,teachers and other college members can answer your questions.The sooner you delve into (探究) your college life,the more chances you'll get the reputation of a successful student and become knowledgeable.

(64)E.Many students complain about the lack of literature and about the high prices of textbooks.Why not use the resources offered by a college you're studying at?There are many databases,labs and libraries,which can help you expand your mind.If you have some difficulties,you can get valuable information using e-books that are available through the college account.This abundance of information is created to improve the students'skills and learning experience.

6.Each Sunday,people can hear the music of the Mission Dolores Basilica in San Francisco.The Spanish missionaries(傳教士)built the church in 1791.It was the start of a special kind of neighborhood:the Mission District.
The area is a place with a long and varied history.One community member says that it's important for people to understand the many levels of history in the neighborhood.He feels that this knowledge is a big part of understanding what it means to be a real San Franciscan.
One of the most interesting parts of the district is its people.Over the years,immigrants have come to the area from Ireland,Germany,and Italy.But the most recent immigrants are mainly from Latin America.It's easy to see the style that these recent additions give to the neighborhood.You can see it in the art on the walls,taste it in the food,and hear it in the music!
Juan Pedro Gaffney,the director of the Spanish Choir(唱詩(shī)班)of San Francisco,says that the people there share the pain and the happiness of their friends and family members and that music has always been a basic part of cultural identity in the district.He feels that the music of the district is colorful and lively.
But it isn't just its music that's colorful and lively.Its art is full of life as well.
The local art community stays close to the area's culture and tradition.A local arts organization often leads people on walks through the district.They visit streets like Balmy Alley,which is famous for its murals (壁畫(huà)).Even though the meanings behind the murals are always changing,they are still very powerful.One artist explains that they are fighting for fairness in the community and to help the environment through murals.Apparently,they're something the community likes.
Many of these artists feel that the district is a successful neighborhood where new immigrants are welcome."People see that they're not so different from each other,"says one artist."There are a lot of things that bind(捆綁)the immigrants through culture and tradition."
68.The underlined phrase"this knowledge"in Paragraph 2refers toD.
A.having memories of the Spanish missionaries
B.knowing the history of the Mission Dolores Basilica
C.realizing what it means to be a real San Franciscan
D.understanding the many levels of history in the neighborhood
69.The author shows the multi-culture of the Mission District from the aspects ofB.
A.literature and sports
B.music and murals
C.buildings and clothes
D.customs and festivals
70.It can be inferred from the passage that in the Mission DistrictA.
A.immigrants from different cultures live in harmony
B.LatinAmerican music and foods are the most attractive
C.the Spanish Choir stands out in the competition of different cultures
D.new immigrants have to give up their own culture to be welcome
71.What would be the best title for the passage?B
A.The Mission Dolores Basilica
B.A Special Type of Neighborhood
C.Music of the Mission District
D.The Spanish Choir of San Francisco.
