They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range. ‎ The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it. ‎ The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special,” said marketing director Margaret Jobling. The reaction to “The Picture House” has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat. ‎ 1. Instagram probably is_______________. ‎ A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of “Food for Life” C. a new marketing project D. a program used to share photos 22. “The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_____________. ‎ A. raise the price of frozen food B. attract more customers C. create a new social media trend D. reward the regular customers ‎ ‎23. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage? ‎ ‎ A. No Need to Pay. B. The Pop-up Diner. ‎ ‎ C. Pay by Picture. D. Food for Life. ‎ ‎ ‎ B ‎ Every newborn a decade from now will have its genetic code(基因编码)mapped at birth, the head of the world′s leading genome sequencing(基因图谱)company has predicted. ‎ A complete DNA readout for every newborn will be technically possible and affordable in less than five years, promising a revolution in health care, says Jay Flatley, the chief executive of Illumina. Only social and legal problems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,” or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants’ genes when they are born, Dr Flatly told The Times. ‎ This will open a new approach to medicine, by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predicted and prevented and drugs used more safely and effectively. ‎ A baby′s genome can be discovered at birth by a blood test. By examining a person’s genome, it is possible to identify raised risks of developing diseases such as cancers. Those at high risk can then be screened more regularly, or given drugs or dietary advice to lower their chances of becoming ill. ‎ Personal genomes could also be used to ensure that patients get the medicine that is most likely to work for them and least likely to have side effects. ‎ The development, however, will raise legal concerns about privacy and access to individuals’ genetic records. ‎ ‎“Bad things can be done with the genome. It could predict something about someone and you could possibly hand the information to their employer or their insurance company.” said Dr Flatley. ‎ ‎“People have to recognize that this horse is out of the barn, and that your genome probably can’t be protected, because everywhere you go you leave your genome behind. Complete genetic privacy, however, is unlikely to be possible”, he added. ‎ As the benefits become clearer, however, he believes that most people will want their genomes read and interpreted. The risk is nothing compared with the gain. 24. In the first two paragraphs, the author mainly wants to tell us about__________. ‎ A. the significant progress in medicine ‎ B. the promise of a leading company ‎ C. the information of babies’ genes ‎ D. the research of medical scientists ‎ 25. Which of the following is a problem caused by this approach? A. The delaying in discovering DNA. ‎ B. The risk of developing diseases at birth. ‎ C. The side effects of medicine on patients. ‎ D. The letting out of personal genetic information. ‎ 26. What does the underlined sentence “… this horse is out of the barn” mean? A. Genetic mapping technique has been widely used. ‎ B. People can’t stop genetic mapping technique advancing. ‎ C. People are eager to improve genetic mapping technique. ‎ D. Genetic mapping technique is too horrible to control. 27. What′s Dr Flatley′s attitude towards the technology? ‎ ‎ A. Tolerant. B. Conservative. ‎ ‎ C. Positive. D. Doubtful. ‎ ‎ ‎ C ‎ Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have 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 advise 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 to wander the store aisles. ‎ With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they 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 beautify 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 find much more than food at a grocery store. ‎ 28. What do many single people in Pairs complain about? A. The items on their grocery list. ‎ B. The inconvenience in shopping. ‎ C. The idea of supermarket dating. ‎ D. The difficulty in meeting people. ‎ 29. 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 color. ‎ D. The dating supermarket has very good business. ‎ 30. How do love shoppers meet one another? A. They go through a special checkout. ‎ B. They schedule their meeting in advance. ‎ C. They pick out their groceries with great care. ‎ D. They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items. ‎ 31. Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating? A. The supermarket dating is more casual. ‎ B. The supermarket dating is less expensive. ‎ C. The supermarket dating can be trusted more. ‎ D. The supermarket dating is more convenient. ‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ Imagine that you’re looking at your company-issued smart phone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedin: “These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You aren’t necessarily searching for a job, but you’re always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link. A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. ‎ ‎“We’ve noticed that you’re spending more time on Linkedin lately, so I wanted to talk with you about your career and whether you’re happy here,” she says. Uh-oh. ‎ It’s an awkward scene. Attrition (减员) has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets. Thus, companies are intensifying their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them. Tactics(策略) range from electronic monitor to complicated analyses of employees’ social media lives. ‎ Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit. In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years. ‎ New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at when. “We’ve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they’re doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life,” says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB’s HR practice. “We’ve learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons.” ‎ Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things. Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes(浏览痕迹) — employees’ use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage — to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job. ‎ 32. From the first paragraph, we can infer Linkedin is___________. ‎ A. an e-mail B. a job from the Internet C. a professional social network D. a world-famous company ‎ 33. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The cost of losing good workers is rising. ‎ B. Companies are stricter with workers than before. ‎ C. Finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers. ‎ B. Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit. ‎ 32. According to the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs? ‎ A. They don’t like their bosses. ‎ B. Workers are always doing comparisons. ‎ C. Not seeing opportunities for promotion. ‎ D. To find a higher-paid job. ‎ 33. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? ‎ A. To tell us the leader’s concerns. ‎ B. To make a review on a phenomenon. ‎ C. To show a new trend in the job market. ‎ D. To stress the role of new technologies. ‎ 第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）。 ‎ ‎ The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username/password combinations to log in different kinds of account. Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits, while others require you to change your password every 60 days. The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing these login information has grown so common that it actually has a name: password fatigue. Having to remember so many different passwords is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. Because it is virtually impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts, many people leave handwritten lists of user names and passwords on or next to their computers. 36 While these practices make it easier to remember login information, they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts. ‎ ‎ Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem. With SSO, users only need to remember one password to log in to the main system. 37 SSO software is typically used by large companies, schools, or libraries. ‎ ‎ 38 If a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software, the user will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account. Users who rely on password management software face the same problems. Although most websites or network systems allow users to recover or change lost passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt(提示), this process can waste time and cause further frustration. What is more, recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary solution. 39 ‎ Some computer scientists have suggested computers rely on biometrics(生物测定 学). 40 The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be expensive to practice. ‎ Software engineers and computer security experts are still searching for the cure to password fatigue. Until they find the perfect solution, however, everyone will simply have to rely on the password system currently in place. ‎ ‎ ‎ A. It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue. ‎ ‎ ‎ B. These software programs have been built into many major web browsers C. The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless. ‎ D. The SSO software then automatically logs the user in to other accounts within the system. ‎ E. However, SSO confirmation and password management software also have ‎ ‎ ‎ drawbacks. ‎ F. This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits, such as fingerprints, voice, or DNA. ‎ G. Others solve this problem by using the same password for every account or using extremely simple passwords. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 第三节 阅读判断。阅读下面表述，如果其表述与报刊文章内容相符，则在答题卡上相对应的位置涂A选项，如果不符合则在答题卡对应位置涂B选项。（每小题1分，满分10分） ‎ 41.

I became terribly nervous. I felt in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had 51 their search. I found 52 and because ‎ of my shaking hands, I could 53 get it to my lips.

At that moment, I 57 . I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was 58 , perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very 59 not to smile. In that instant, it was 60 a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but 61 , looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears.

I’ve heard you only need to replace them every 500 miles. (6) W: Well, I’ve run at least 300 miles on this pair of shoes, and I’m ready for new ones.

We did it for the exercise. Also, the air up here is cleaner than it is in the city. ‎ M: Yes, that’s true.

(15) ‎ M: Who have you helped? ‎ W: Let me see... I’ve helped my mother, my aunt, and many of my friends. ‎ M: I see. Well, you should know that it is difficult to satisfy our customers. They are busy people who want nice clothes, but they don’t have time to do a lot of shopping themselves. ‎ W: That sounds perfect for me. I don’t mind spending my days in stores. I choose things very carefully. (16) ‎ M: You should know that our customers have high expectations. You may find working with them quite challenging. ‎ W: I’m prepared for that. (16) ‎ M: OK. Well, I’ll take your application. We posted the job online as well, so we will probably get a lot of applications. But I will let the boss know that I spoke with you and that you seem to really want the job. W: Thanks. I appreciate that. When will you be doing interviews? (17) ‎ M: Well, today is Wednesday...

Text 10 ‎ ‎ Twelve children’s hospitals in Glasgow, Scotland have started chaining children’s toys to prevent thieves from stealing them. The hospital is using bicycle locks to keep its toys and other valuables from being stolen. Glen ‎ Fidick, father of a patient, said he was annoyed that anyone would steal toys from a hospital. He told reporters, "These toys were given to sick children. They’re provided by the hospital, and people are stealing them. (18) (19) I was shocked to see that a children’s toy had a bike lock on it! I was talking to the nurses about how upsetting the whole situation was. They are doing the best they can, but it’s still not good enough." A hospital spokesman said, "Unfortunately, we do get toys and games taken from our hospitals. It is not a regular event, but we encourage staff to lock away the more popular and more expensive items." He added, "As with any large building open to the public, we advise visitors and our own staff to be careful with the expensive items." (20) It is not only toys that are being stolen. The television in the waiting room has also gone missing. Mr. Fidick said, "Stealing toys while the hospital staff are looking after the children is a sad reflection on society. I cannot believe this is happening in our country.

I am writing to talk about my ideal job — a writer. ‎ As for me, it is very important to be passionate about what I am doing. I like reading different kinds of books since I was a child. So I want to write some stories to make others happy too．What’s more, a writer can work at home, which means flexible working hours and free time to travel. ‎ My favorite writer is Mark Twain, the father of American literature. His books are humorous and adventurous. We can learn a lot about African-American culture by reading his book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. ‎ How about you? I am looking forward to your reply. ‎ Best wishes! ‎ ‎ Yours, ‎ ‎ Li Hua ‎ ‎ ‎
