Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001
，
and 18
years later
，
we
’
re just as much in love with this charming
，
intelligent British girl
，
as ever. You may or may not be a Potterhead
，
but a lot of people are charmed by
Emma Watson
’
s perfection.
Despite
being
a
star
performer
at
the
young
age
of
11
，
she
’
s
never
gone
the
Hollywood spoiled child route. In fact
，
she made all attempts to stay as normal as
possible. She said
，
“
Ignoring fame was my rebellion
，
in a funny way. I was insistent on
being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn
’
t advisable to go to college
in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn
’
t wise to share
a bathroom with eight other people in a dormitory. Looking back
，
I think that was
crazy.
”

She
added
，
“
I
was
very
well
educated.
My
dad
paid
for
me
to
go
to
a
very
good
school
，
so I worked hard every single day at that school to make him proud of me.
And I did
，
and I still do.
”

If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like
，
we
would say she
’
d be the Emma Watson of the Potter universe because there really is
no way to separate the two. In the last few years
，
Emma has added more feathers to
her cap than we imagined being humanly possible
，
which include actor
，
scholar
，
model and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. In her role as a UN Women Goodwill
Ambassador
，
she
’
d supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought
them all the attention they deserve.
Emma
Watson
gave
us
the
most
accurate
description
of
our
favorite
girl
from
the
Potter universe.
“Young girls are
told you have to be a delicate princess. Hermione
taught them that you can be a warrior.”

21
．
After Emma Watson became an actress
，
she








.
A
．
followed most of the Hollywood child route
B
．
had a preference for a normal life
C
．
became rebellious in a funny way
D
．
went to a good college instead

22
．

“
Emma has added more feathers to her cap
”

in
Para.4?
A
．
Emma has earned more titles.
B
．
Emma wears a cap with feathers.
C
．
Emma is expert at designing caps.
D
．
Emma has been more absorbed in her job.
23
．
What can be the best title for the text?
A
．
Emma Watson
：
You Can Be the Best Actress
B
．
Emma Watson
：
You Can Be a Warrior
C
．
The Way to Be a Delicate Princess
D
．
The Way to Be a Good Performer

Carrie Gracie is knowledgeable about China and its affairs. She also has a 1reputation
as a generous colleague. She has resigned from her job as China editor because her
employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a
similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because she refused to go
on colluding(
共谋
) with the BBC
’
s dishonesty about its failure to give women and
men equal pay for equal work.
Gracie
was
recruited to the
job
，
because
she had
all the talent
and
skills
the
BBC
needed to 10cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China.
One
of
the
conditions
she
set
for
taking
it
was
equal
pay
with
the
BBC
’
s
other
international editors
，
familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy
Bowen in the Middle East.
Last summer
，
the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names
on radio and TV earned over
￡
150, results exposed an astonishing pay gap.
They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her.
Gracie
sets
out
all
her
efforts
to
get
her
bosses
to
do
what
they
had
8originally
promised her
，
but they fail to respond adequately. Instead
，
they prevaricate(
搪塞
)
and
offer
her
a
pay
rise
that
still
would
not
have
delivered
equality.
They
thought
they could buy her off. They thought that the reputational hazard she was running
would scare her away from the fight.
The BBC is wrong this time! Gracie has chosen to design rather than give in because
she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something is
fighting for women’s legal r
ights.
Gracie said she hoped she wouldn
’
t be remembered as the woman who complained
about money
，
but as a great journalist. She is proving that they are two sides of the
same invaluable coin.
Carrie Gracie’s 9dispute with the BBC isn’t about money—it’s abou
t dignity!

24
．
What do you know about Carrie Gracie?
A
．
She is very strict with her office colleagues.
B
．
She has a good command of China
’
s affairs.
C
．
She was working together with Jon Sopel.
D
．
She has a reputation of covering sports news.

25
．
What does Carrie Gracie demand of the BBC?
A
．
Equal pay for equal work.
B
．
Better pay for more work.
C
．
Apology for misconducts.
D
．
Response to her complaint.

26
．
We can infer from the passage that the BBC








.
A
．
didn
’
t promise Gracie equal pay with her male colleagues
B
．
dismissed Carrie Gracie due to her demand for higher pay
C
．
was forced to pay Gracie equal pay for doing the equal work
D
．
kept the pay of its familiar names secret before last summer

27
．
What is the author
’
s attitude towards the BBC?
A
．
Positive.


B
．
2Vague.
C
．
3Critical.


D
．
Cautious.

An epidemic is the occurrence of a disease which affects a very large number
of people living in an area and which spreads quickly to other people. Like infectious
diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But why some travel far and
wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery.
Now
a
team
of
computer
scientists
has
used
an
epidemiological
model
to
imitate
how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that
ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “epidemics” than equally good
ideas from less well-known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at
the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study.
“This implies
that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads, holding the quality of the idea
constant.” says senior author Aaron Clauset, also at Boulder.








Not
only
is
this
unfair
--
“it
reveals
a
big
weakness
in
how
we’re
doing
science,” sa
ys Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie
Mellon University, who was not involved in the study. There are many highly trained
people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. “They are producing
good ideas, and we
know those ideas are getting lost,” DeDeo says. “Our science, our
scholarship, is not as good because of this.”








The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science
department
hires
in North America,
as
well
as a
database
of publications
by
these
hires.
First
they
looked
at
how
five
big
ideas
in
computer
science
spread
to
new
institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a
little more than a third of the time -- and in 81 percent of those cases, transfers took
place
from
higher-
to
lower-status
universities.
Then
the
team
imitated
the
broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an
idea “epidemic” (as measured by the number of institutions that published studi
es
on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution.
The findings were published online last October in EPJ Data Science.








The researchers’ model suggests that there “may be a number of quite good
ideas that orig
inate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities,” Clauset says.
DeDeo agrees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says:
“You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people
don’t know because they’re not even paying attention.”


28
. The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that _________.

A. the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spread
B. the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintain
C. good ideas from less important institutions lack influence

D. scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless


29. The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate _________.

A. the statistics the epidemological model provides for the researchers

B. why the originating institutions transfer their new findings

C. how they carry the ideas from lower - to higher - status institutions

D. the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects


30. Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about _________.

A. losing quite a number of great and creative thoughts

B. missing the opportunities of getting more well-known

C. misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areas

D. having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires

31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Infectious Diseases


B. Original Ideas




C. Idea Epidemic



D. Epidemiological Model

D
Recycling is essential in today
’
s world. The most important reason for this is that
human progress and industry have made it possible for people to have lots of things
，
and when people have many material possessions
，
they are bound to throw some of
them away. This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment.
Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as 8items are broken down and used
again
，
preventing
the
littering
of
the
environment.
Instead
of
throwing
all
your
garbage into the trash can
，
you should separate paper
，
metal
，
glass
，
and plastic into
different
containers.
Compost
should
also
be
recycled
as
this
is
excellent
food
for
farm animals and also makes for great fertilizer(
肥料
)
．

You should try to buy products that have been recycled. You can see if an item has
been made from recycled materials by its label; if it
’
s been recycled
，
it will say so.
Also
，
instead of always buying new clothes
，
you can arrange to have a clothing 6swap
with your friends. You bring clothes you don
’
t want and pick items you want from
what other people have brought. Not only does this save the environment
，
but it also
saves your pocketbook. Remember
，
what is one person
’
s junk can be someone else
’
s treasure! The saying can be applied to all sorts of things
：
books
，
CDs，
furniture
，
etc. Also
，
try shopping at second-hand stores
，
because they often have lots of items
still in good shape for you to choose.
Many
countries
have
made
it
easy
for
people
to
recycle
，
as
alongside
the
normal
garbage trucks
，
special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables. However
，
in
many
countries
around
the
world
the
responsibility
is
left
up
to
the
4individual
to
recycle. Therefore
，
it must be made a priority(
优先考虑的事
) in society so we can
continue to make our environment livable.

32
．
Why is more waste being made in today
’
s world?
A
．
People dislike the updated items.
B
．
People own abundant belongings.
C
．
People intend to live a simple life.
D
．
People have made great progress in industry.

33
．
What does the underlined word
“
this
”

in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A
．
Exchanging clothes with friends.
B
．
Shopping at second-hand stores.
C
．
Throwing away old clothes.
D
．
Picking up new items.

34
．
To make the environment enjoyable
，
we should







.
A
．
always buy new clothes
B
．
choose recyclable products
C
．
go shopping at chain stores
D
．
arrange more garbage trucks

35
．
What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A
．
Governments do nothing in recycling.
B
．
Normal vehicles can pick up recyclables.
C
．
The individual seldom cares about recycling.
D
．
Everyone should feel socially responsible for recycling.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两< br>项为多余选项。

The home humidity (
湿度
) is a measurement of the amount of vaporized (
汽化了的
)
water in the air of the home. Humidity levels are naturally higher in warmer climates
and lower in cooler climates.



36



Older
and
less
energy
efficient
homes
tend
to
have
lower
indoor
humidity
levels,
while
modern
homes
with
higher
energy
efficiency
tend
to
have
higher
humidity
levels.
Both
high
and
low
home
humidity levels
can
cause
problems.
Humidity
levels
that
are too high can affect paint and cause mold (
霉菌
) . Humidity levels that are too low
can cause cracks in your drywall and affect furniture.



37



You may wonder what exact level of humidity you should have. Generally, people are
most comfortable when home humidity is between 20 and 60 percent.



38



It
can balance your need for comfort with the conditions that are less likely to damage
your house.



39



It doesn't require expensive equipment. Just drop three ice cubes into a
glass, add water, shake it and wait for three minutes

if moisture(
水汽
) does not
form on the outside of the glass, you may need to increase humidity. On the other
hand,
if
you
notice
frequent
fogging
of
your
windows,
you
may
have
too
much
humidity in your home.
Daily
activities
like
cooking
can
add
water
to
the
air
in
your
home.
If
the
home
humidity
level
is
top
high,
you
can
start
cooking
with
pans
covered.













40




If these basic changes don't help correct the problem, use a dehumidifier.
A. This is the ideal humidity level.
B. You must add water on a regular basis.
C. High humidity levels can damage furniture.
D. So do avoid too high and also too low humidity levels.
E. Taking shorter showers may also control the humidity.
F. Home humidity levels can be measured in simple ways.
G. The type of home can also affect the humidity measurements.
