Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
In
CCTV’s
annual
consumer
-protection
show
earlier
this
month,
the
international
sportswear
giant
Nike was accused of false advertising. Commercials (21)________ (promote)
the ―Hyperdunk‖ basketball
shoes claimed the product is equipped with high-tech air cushions. The CCTV program, however, revealed
that the product didn’t come with the feature. Consumers were apparently misled.


This is, in fact, not the first time Nike (22)________ (catch) cheating Chinese consumers. Back in

2011, consumers complained that that year’s ―Hyperdunk‖ sneakers didn’t have the (23)________


(advertise) air cushions in them, either. Such wrongdoings might not mark the end of Nike (24)________ a
respectable and reliable brand among loyal shoppers, but Nike needs to realize that (25)________ one day
consumers’ trust in it vanishes
（消失）
, so will its sales. By then, it will be impossible for the brand to
restore its reputation.

China is an important
base for Nike (26)________ it accounts for about ten percent of the company’s
market. Over the past three decades, numerous NBA greats, from Michael Jordan to LeBron James, have
been shown wearing Nike’s gear, proving its quality.


Placing
misleading
adve
rtisements
once
again
has
dampened
some
consumers’
trust
in
Nike.
Fortunately, Nike issued a timely apology last week, offering a 4500-yuan refund, (27)________ is three
times the cost of the shoes. These gestures show that the company has somewhat realized its mistake and
wants to re-
establish consumers’ trust in it.


Sportswear companies often push the truth of their products by having famous athletes wearing them.
If Usain Bolt is seen in a commercial (28)________ (dash) with Nike, it might be implied that the shoes
(29)________ enable you to run faster. However, there are limits to (30)________ can be said to promote a
product.
With
lying
comes
distrust,
and
with
distrust
comes
collapse.
That’s
why
Nike,
and
any
other
company, needs to be more careful with advertising in the future.

Are your eyes dry, watery, seeing double or __31__ to light, and do your back and neck ache? If so,
you
are
likely
one
of
many
people
today
who
suffer
from
digital
eyestrain

（视疲劳）
,
also
called
computer-vision syndrome.
Eyestrain is often related to the amount of __32__ to screens, the distance from eyes to screens and the
use of multiple screens at the same time. However, studies have also shown that the blue light produced by
digital devices reaches further into the eyes than other kinds of light. This light actually assists attention
during the day but can result in __33__ sleep patterns at night.
Scientists have stated that eyestrain is not a necessary evil, even in a modern world that circles around
technology. Sometimes __34__ some simple details about your relative position to screens, such as staying


about
60
centimeters
away,
will
help.
Also,
avoid
overhead
and
other
direct
sources
of
light,
and
use
__35__ lamps and window blinds while looking at digital devices instead.
Beyond the ways that you relate to digital screens, there are also ways to change how you view screens
that are helpful in __36__ eyestrain. To begin with, your computer screen should be
high-resolution

（高
分辨率）
, and may require a screen filter to decrease __37__. Also, be aware that ―computer glasses,‖
which cut down
glare
（刺眼的光）
and blue light, are __38__ on the market.
Finally,
many
of
us
fall
into
bad
habits
while
using
digital
screens
that
only
__39__
the
effects
of
eyestrain. When viewing digital screens, many people
blink
（眨眼）
one third less often than they usually
do. Place
a
reminder
on
your
c
omputer
to
―blink!‖
so
that
your
eyes
don’t
dry
out.
Also,
__40__
your
eyes’ focusing muscles by using the 20
-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, focus on something 20 feet away for
20 seconds.
There are many other methods used to help relieve eyestrain, so find what works for you rather than
giving in to tired vision.
III.

Reading Comprehension
Section A
University educators largely think highly of the wonders of teaching through technology. However,
critics __41__ whether something is lost when professors and lectures rely too heavily on electronic
media or when __42__ with students takes place remotely
—
in
cyberspace
（网络空间）

__43__ the real space of the classroom. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, the Professor of Literature at Stanford
University, is one such critic. ―I th
ink this enthusiastic and sometimes childish and __44__ pushing toward
the more technology the better, the more websites the better teacher, is very dangerous
—

is indeed __45__,‖
he indicates.
However, Gumbrecht warns that there are few studies either supporting or rejecting the
hypothesis

(
假设
) that traditional ways of teaching are __46__ to teaching via the Internet. He says that he could point
only to his ―feeling that real classroom presence should be __47__‖, and emphasizes the need for
educator to examine critically where technology __48__ a useful teaching function and where it does not.
Yet, Gumbrecht allows that, for courses in which knowledge transmission is the only purpose,
electronic media probably can do the job well enough. Indeed, as a result
of 20th century’s knowledge __49__ and the increasing costs of higher education, using technology for the
transmission of information is probably __50__, he admits. However, knowledge transmission should not be
the most important function of the university, he maintains, __51__ that universities should be places where
people face open questions, places for ―intellectual complexity‖ and ―riskful thinking‖.

―We are not about finding or transmitting solutions; we are not about recipes; we are not about ma
king
intellectual life easy. Challenging complexity is what __52__ your mind. It is something like intellectual
gymnastics. And this is what makes you a suitable member of the society.‖ Moreover, discussions in the
physical presence of others can lead to t
he intellectual __53__. ―There’s a(an) __54__ change, and you don’t
know how it happens. Discussions in the physical presence have the capacity of being the
catalyst
(
催化剂
) for
such intellectual breakthroughs. The possibility of in-classroom teaching
—
of letting something happen which
cannot happen if you teach by the transmission of information
—

is its __55__.‖

Section B
(A)
Talking to human-like devices can be great fun
—
just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead
to problems.
A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas in the US found that human-
like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.
During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. They
also took part in an online game of ―catch‖ against a computer program that was designed to ―throw‖ the
ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.



Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a
vacuum cleaner
（真空吸尘器）

designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms,
considering questions lik
e ―how much does it help you?‖

The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and
didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.

Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness.
Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out
interaction with other people, according to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at KU.


But it wasn’t all
bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far
this effect

would extend.
―As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling, they seemed
to realize it was a machine and not a person,‖ Olson told Daily Mail.

―The effect goes away. This seems
to be happening on a very subconscious level.‖

Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products
could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature
interactivity.
―If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do
with feeling lonely,‖ Olson said. ―From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.‖

The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who
feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction.
―Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,‖ Olson said, ―such as taking a
break from screen time and focus
ing on developing your real personal connections.‖

Hair Loss (Alopecia)
Information about male pattern
baldness
（秃顶）
causes, triggers and treatment in the UK
In contrary to popular belief, hair loss
–
or alopecia
–
can start at any age. Whilst it is associated with
mature males, and statistics show it does mainly affect men above 40, the reality is you can notice
symptoms in your 30s, or even 20s and teen years. The NHS statistics state that 25% of men start losing
their hair by the time they reach 30. The most common form of hair loss is male pattern baldness
–
also
known as androgenic alopecia
–
that affects more than half of men around the world.
One option many men seek is treatment to avoid further hair loss, especially early on in the process.
With treatments, such as Propecia, that specifically target male pattern baldness, it is possible to stop
hair loss completely and even encourage fresh new hair growth.

ageing
process
for
men,
especially
with
