Cracked. com Cracked. com traces its origins to the print magazine Cracked, which started in ‎1958. But Cracked has soon grown to become the mott popular comedy site on the Internet, drawing over a billion views in 2010. The website also runs in a wide range, featuring photo editing contests , sketches and films , and reader contests. For laughs , Cracked. com is your one-stop shop!‎ 2. Funny or Die Any website owned by Will Ferrell would already be in the running. But the debut video , The Landlord , made Funny or Die a must-click website. Funny or Die also manages to remain fresh and interesting by being so interactive , allowing viewers to choose which videos stay and which ones die. The website has even made the big time ,‎ partnering with HBO (Home Box Office) in a hopefully plentiful combination of the minds between the best that TV and the Internet both have to offer.‎ 3. CoHegeHumor We have trouble sitting down for 90 seconds , much less 90 minutes! Co liege Humo r seems incredibly skillful at catering to (迎合）such an ADD-riddled audience. Like Funny or Die , College Humor made it to the big time , though the College Humor Show only ran for a single season on MTV. The site also serves as the big sales store for T-‎ shirts, which answers the question, “Where can I find aHoney Badger T-shirt?”‎ 4. ‎9GAG You know those black-and-white photos you’ve been seeing all over your Facebook feed(系统）？ Well，if you ever wondered where they came from，then you need to look no further than 9 GAG!

Many single people say that France5s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints(抱怨）of this lonely grouphave ‎ inspired a new phenomenon known as ^supermarket dating+. At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes , brown hair , and is 1. 8 meters tall , or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.‎ At this Paris location , single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6： 30 and 9： 00 p.m. When they walk through the door , they pick up a purple basket to suggest that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn towander the store aisles (过道）.‎ With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic optionswhile t hey pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay , they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.‎ Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish (美化）one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition , what one finds in another,s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person,s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to findmuchmore than food at a grocery store.‎ 15. ‎ What do many single people in Pairs complain about?‎ A. ‎ The difficulty in meeting people.‎ B. The idea of supermarket dating.‎ C. The items on their grocery list.‎ D. The inconvenience in shopping.‎ 16. Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?‎ A. ‎ The dating supermarket is located in Paris.‎ B. ‎ The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.‎ C. ‎ People looking for love must get a basket of a particular colour.‎ D. ‎ The dating supermarket has very good business.‎ 17. ‎ How do love shoppers meet one another?‎ A. ‎ They schedule their meeting in advance.‎ B. ‎ They go through a special checkout.‎ C. ‎ They pick out their groceries with great care.‎ D. ‎ They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.‎ 18. ‎ Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?‎ A. ‎ The supermarket dating is more convenient.‎ B. The supermarket dating is more fun.‎ C.

Its become the default response when you ask anyone how they are doing: “BusyCrazy busy!” It is pretty obviously, a pride in their present life disguised as a complaint. And the common response is a kind of congratulation: “That’s a good problem to have，” or “Better than the opposite. +‎ Notice it isn’t people pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU or commuting by bus to minimum-wage jobs who ‎ tell you how busy they are. What those people are is not busy but tired. Exhausted! Dead on their feet. It5s almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed(自己强加的）：work and obligations they’ve takenon voluntarily， classes and activities they5ve ^encouraged” their kids to participate in. They’rebusy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety, because they’re addicted to busyness and dread that they might have to face in its absence.‎ Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious andguilty when they aren’t either working or doing something to promote their work. It’s something theyhave chosen. In their eyes，busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance(令人安心的保 证）and a measure against emptiness. Obviously their life won’t appear silly or meaningless if they are so busy， completely booked and in demand every hour of the day.‎ However，idleness is not just a vacation. It is as necessary to the brain as vitamin D is to the body，and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as ugly as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole，for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration.‎ ‎^Idle dreaming is often the essence of what we do , ” wrote Thomas Pynchon.‎ Archimedes’ “Eureka” in the bath， Newton’s apple: history is full of stories of inspirations that come in idle moments.‎ 15. ‎ When many Americans say 4Crazy busy”，they mean .‎ A. ‎ they are really tired of their present situation B. ‎ they are really proud of their present life C. ‎ they are complaining about their current work D. ‎ their life are full of all kinds of problems 16. ‎ Which of the following is purely self-imposed busyness?‎ ‎©pulling back-to-back shifts in the ICU ©commuting by bus to minimum-wage jobs ③ work and obligations they’ve taken on voluntarily ④ ‎ classes and activities they’ve “encouraged” their kids to participate in A•①② B•③④ C•①③ D•②④‎ 17. The writer mentions Archimedes’ “Eureka” and Newton’s apple to show that .‎ A. ‎ history is full of interesting stories B. ‎ Archimedes and Newton were very busy，so they made great discoveries C. ‎ people may get inspiration when they are idle D. ‎ inspirations come from hard work 18. ‎ According to the last paragraph, what is the writer5s attitude towards idleness?‎ A. Approving. B. Opposing. C. Neutral. D. Uninterested.‎ ‎)‎ Open data sharers are still in the minority in many fields. Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would accelerate science, most are reluctant to post the results of their own labors online.‎ Some communities have agreed to share online —geneticists, for example, post DNA sequences at the ‎ GenBank repository (库）！ and astronomers areaccustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from , say, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey , a telescope that has observed some 500 million objects —but these remain the exception , not the rule. Historically, scientists have objected to sharing for many reasons： it is a lot of work ； until recently, good databases did not exist ； grant funders were not pushing for sharing； it has been difficutt to agree on standards for formatting data； and there is no agreed way to assign credit for data.‎ But the barriers are disappearing, in part because journals and funding agencies worldwide are encouraging scientists to make their data public. Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report that scientists need to “shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as a private preserve”. Funding agencies note that data paid for with public money should be public information, and the scientific community is recognizing that data can now be shared digitally in ways that were not possible before. To match the growing demand, services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products online and enable other researchers to discover and cite them.‎ Although calls to share data often concentrate on the moral advantages of sharing, the practice isnotpurely altruistic (利他的）.Researchers who shareget plentyof personal benefits , including more connections with colleagues , improved visibility and increased citations. The mott successful sharers —those whose data are downloaded and cited the mott often —get noticed , and their work gets used. For example , one of the mott popular data sets on multidisciplinary repository Dryad is about wood density around the world； it has been downloaded 5,700 times. Co-author Amy Zanne thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass , to foresters looking for information on different grades of timber. “I’d much prefer to have my data used by the maximum number of people to ask their own questions , ” she says. t*t,s important to allow readers and reviewers to see exactly how you arrive at your results. Publishing data and code allows your science to be reproducible. ”‎ Even people whose data are less popular can benefit. By making the effort to organize and label files so others can understand them, scientists become more organized and better disciplined themselves , thus avoiding confusion later on.‎ 15. What do many researchers generally accept?‎ A. ‎ It is imperative(必要的）to protect scientists’ patents.‎ B. ‎ Repositories are essential to scientific research.‎ C. ‎ Open data sharing is mott important to medical science.‎ D. ‎ Open data sharing is conducive(有利的）to scientific advancement.‎ 16. ‎ According to thepassage，whatmighthinder(阻碍）opendata sharing?‎ A. The fear of massive copying.‎ B. The lack of a research culture.‎ C. ‎ The belief that research data is private intellectual property.‎ D. ‎ The concern that certain agencies may make a profit out of it.‎ 17. ‎ What helps lift some of the barriers to open data sharing?‎ A. The ever-growing demand for big data.‎ B. The advancement of scientific technology.‎ C. The changing attitude of journals and funders.‎ D. The trend of social and economic development.‎ 15. ‎ Dryad serves as an example to show how open data sharing .‎ A. ‎ is becoming increasingly popular B. benefits sharers and users alike C. makes researchers successful D. ‎ saves both money and labor 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。‎ Some Ways to Have an Amazing Day Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently：‎ • Be kind.‎ 16. How often do you stop to talk to the people you encounter every day?‎ Do you know the names of the people at the bank, the grocery store, or the restaurant? One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet. Take a moment to learn a little about them.‎ • ‎37. ‎ I avoided saying “Stay Busy + because sometimes we can fill our day with meaningless activities and feel busy but then at the end of the day we look back and realize we accomplished nothing.
