Older people are usually kept out of TV screens, advertising billboards and other popular-culture areas. Yet aging athletes, scientists, musicians and many more have proven time and time again that you can age and still do great things. What will it take for the rest of society to catch up with this reality? The Atlantic’s New Old Age Forum will invite top experts on aging for a full discussion of age discrimination and they will explore relevant issues ranging from aging in place to long life and work.‎ ‎10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.‎ New York Academy of Sciences ‎7 World Trade Center ‎250 Greenwich Street, 40th floor New York, NY 10007‎ For more information, please contact Grace Harvey at gharvey@theatlantic.com.‎ Presented by Atlantic LIVE Speakers James Hamblin, senior editor, The Atlantic Ellen Cole, professor of psychology, The Sage Colleges; co-author, Women Thriving in their 8th Decade Susan Donley, publisher and managing director, Next Avenue Joyce Jed, founder and president, Good Neighbors of Park Slope Kathryn Lawler, executive director, Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement Elizabeth White, author, Fifty-Five, Unemployed, and Faking Normal Alison Stewart, contributing editor, The Atlantic ‎56. Age discrimination in mainstream American culture mainly refers to ________.‎ A. old people’s being abused B. old people’s negative image C. old people’s being overlooked D. old people’s unemployment ‎57. What do we know about the New Old Age Forum?‎ A. The discussion is between old people. B. There are many lectures by scientists. ‎ C. The speakers work for The Atlantic. D. It is held indoors in New York.‎ B In Weapons of Math Destruction, data scientist Cathy O’Neil explains how big data exists everywhere in our lives, and that we hardly even notice it until it affects us directly. One application that has become particularly common is the use of algorithms (算法) to evaluate job performance.‎ She tells the story of Sarah Wysocki, a teacher who, despite being widely respected by her students, their parents and her colleagues, was fired because she performed poorly according to an algorithm. When an algorithm rates you poorly, you are immediately branded as an underperformer and there is rarely an opportunity to appeal against those judgments. In many cases, methods are considered secrets and no details are shared. And data often seems convincing. ‎ As a matter of fact, the belief that school performance in America is declining is based on a data mistake. A Nation at Risk is the report that rang the initial alarm bells about declining SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) scores. Yet if they had taken a closer look, they would have noticed that the scores in each smaller group were increasing. The reason for the decline in the average score was that more disadvantaged kids were taking the test. However, due to the data mistake, teachers as a whole were judged to be failing.‎ Wall Street is famous for its mathematicians who build complex models to predict market movements and develop business plans. These are really smart people. Even so, it is not at all uncommon for their models to fail. The key difference between those models and many of the ones being used these days is that Wall Street traders lose money when their data models go wrong. However, as O’Neil points out in her book, the effects of widely-used machine-driven judgments are often not borne by those who design the algorithms, but by everyone else.‎ As we increasingly rely on machines to make decisions, we need to ask these questions: What ‎ assumptions are there in your model? What hasn’t been taken into account? How are we going to test the effectiveness of the conclusions? Clearly, something has gone terribly wrong. When machines replace humans to make a judgment, we should hold them to a high standard. We should know how the data was collected. And when numbers lie, we should stop listening to them.‎ ‎58. What does the example of Sarah Wysocki mainly show?[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ A. The drawback of big data. B. The popularity of big data.‎ C. The new challenge teachers face. D. The misunderstanding about algorithms.‎ ‎59. Widely-used machine-driven judgments ________.‎ A. never make any economic loss ‎ B. can lead to many innocent victims C. are more complicated than Wall Street’s data models D. can go wrong more easily than Wall Street’s data models ‎60. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?‎ A. Making decisions without machines. B. Making sure that the data are reliable.‎ C. Making the algorithms more effective. D. Making the data and algorithms public.‎ ‎[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ C Kayaking is an activity enjoyed by many people of all ages. It requires little or no experience and nearly anyone of any skill level can participate. It’s most popular as a summertime sport, but it is also a great activity during the winter. Kayaking also seems relatively friendly to the environment; more so than speed boating or water skiing. Because a kayak doesn’t create large or frequent waves, require fuel, or let off polluted air, it is indeed a fairly safe activity for humans and wildlife alike.‎ Kayaking on freshwater lakes and streams creates little turbulence and therefore does not disturb fish or other aquatic life. Actually, the gentle paddling and movement of the kayak helps to bring seaweed to the surface, making for convenient snacking to the fish. However, there is a drawback to the all-you-can-buffet for your fishy friends. In addition to bringing food to the surface, kayaking also stirs up litter that’s been hiding beneath the waters. Some aquatic animals will mistake it for food. This could cause the animals to choke on the indigestible litter, leading to death. As hazardous as this sounds, it isn’t very likely for such an event to take place. Most litter in lakes and streams is found along the shoreline and settles in the sand and dirt, and isn’t likely to drift away to the main body of water. ▲ . And because kayaks do not have a ‎ motor, fish have no risk of getting caught underneath the boat.‎ One potential hazard that results from kayaking is human waste. This depends solely on where you plan to kayak, and if there are resources available (such as campsites) along the shoreline. When there are no facilities in sight, you’re paddling in the middle of a lake, and nature calls, then often you are given no choice but to expel your waste in the middle of the water. While human waste is considered biodegradable, it can be harmful when swallowed by fish. The only preventative measure is to avoid using the water as a restroom. Some public lakes and streams have taken steps to preserve the quality of the water by requiring permits for kayaking. This won’t ease a human waste problem, but does help regulate entry into the lake and prevent it from becoming overcrowded.‎ As an important factor to remember when kayaking is that you are a guest in someone else’s home. You may not be greeted by anyone or be able to kick up your feet and watch TV, but the water is home to many aquatic animals and wildlife. Just as you would not throw trash on the floor or destroy the home of another, you shouldn’t do it outdoors either. Keep all trash with you in your kayak and properly dispose of it after you return to shore. By doing your part, you will help doing your part, you will help keep kayaking a safe and enjoyable activity for yourself and the environment. ‎ ‎61. Which of the following statements is True about Kayaking according to the passage?‎ A. Young people’s enjoyment of kayaking exceeds that of other people. ‎ B. Water skiing has more negative effects on the environment than Kayaking. ‎ C. Usually, kayaking is only practiced in the summer.‎ D. Whether you can kayak depends on resources available along the shoreline.‎ ‎62. What does “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Providing aquatic animals with an all-you-can-buffet.‎ B. Stirring up litter to the surface of the water.‎ C. That aquatic animals choke to death because of eating the litter.‎ D. That most litter in lakes and streams is found along the shoreline and settles.‎ ‎63. Which sentence can be put in the blank in paragraph 3?‎ A. Because of their adaptability, kayaks can be useful for other outdoor activities such as diving, fishing, and search and rescue during floods.‎ B. Unlike boats operated by motor and fuel, kayaks pose little or no harm to the fish swimming beneath.‎ C. Contrary to what people may assume, there are a number of unique styles of kayaking based on the ‎ type and speed of water involved.[来源:学_科_网Z_X_X_K]‎ D. Sea kayaking is a potentially hazardous pursuit, partly because of the nature of the environment in which we operate.‎ ‎64. Which is the best title of the passage?‎ A. The environmental impacts of kayaking—is it dangerous?‎ B. The most popular water sports—kayaking C. Advantages and disadvantages of kayaking D. How to keep kayaking a safe and enjoyable activity?‎ ‎65. Which word or expression is closest in meaning to “biodegradable”?‎ A. Recycled. B. Environmentally harmless. C. Poisonous. D. Sustainable.‎ D Here at the New York magazine offices, not far from where I sit, is a very long walkway. When you see someone at the other end of it whom you barely know, you may feel quite awkward, at least if you’re an awkward person (which I am). For the next 15-20 seconds, you know you’ll be walking toward this person. Do you nod? Smile? Ignore? Some combination of the above? It’s strangely, deeply unpleasant.‎ This isn’t a problem unique to our office. I’m sure at some point you have been walking down the street, noticed an acquaintance—that is, someone you’re not going to stop and chat with—and then dealt with the awkwardness of walking toward the person but having no idea exactly how to handle the approach. Eye contact is the worst part of these situations. Basic etiquette（礼节）says we should make eye contact with others when we notice them, but basic etiquette, not to mention common sense, also says that maintaining eye contact with someone you’re not engaged in a conversation with is unpleasant.‎ Can anything be done about this? I emailed a couple of eye-contact experts to find out. It’s useful to realize that this isn’t as big a problem everywhere as it is here in New York. Ronald Riggio, a professor at Claremont McKenna College, pointed out that cultural factors may worsen the horrordor(horror corridor走廊眼神交流恐惧). “New York culture is different from my Californian culture, and in New York the cultural norm is to not make eye contact on the street, ” says Ronald Riggio. “ But in California people usually make firm eye contact and smile warmly.”‎ Cultural or not, this is a problem for many of us. Jeremy Nicholson, a psychologist from Yale University, says preparation is part of the battle against eye-contact awkwardness. “Before entering a long ‎ hallway, or walking on the street, take a moment to center yourself,” says Jeremy Nicholson. “Take a breath and be mindful of the world around you ( not just the thoughts in your head or the things in your pocket).” He also suggests trying to scowl（怒视） less in general before any hallway or street encounters( This is a piece of advice that might be a challenge for New Yorkers). “Develop the habit of softening your eyes and keeping a smile on your face in public,” says Jeremy Nicholson. “Most of us stare intently at screens most of the day and scowl, which becomes our typical expression. But human interaction is easier with a more positive expression.”‎ So what should you do when you’re actually walking toward someone? “ It seems dishonest to avoid any eye contact if you know someone,” says Ronald Riggio. He offers what is a pretty straightforward system: “Make eye contact at 30 ft., and then break eye contact. Next, make brief eye contact again at 10 ft., and then look straight ahead.”‎ This approach makes a certain sort of sense: You acknowledge the person when you first notice him. Then you break off eye contact, so the situation doesn’t become awkward. And then you make eye contact again when you’re passing the person, because to pass the person without another acknowledgement would also feel strange.‎ Jeremy Nicholson suggests that getting better at these sorts of encounters could bring other benefits as well—not just the avoidance of awkwardness. “In fact, some of those interactions may end up being pleasant coincidences, promotion opportunities, or reunions with old friends,” says Jeremy Nicholson. “So, breaking the habits of hiding in our phones and tuning the world out with music may be the best thing we can do for both our social lives and professional careers.”‎ ‎66. What is the author afraid of in the workplace?‎ A. Greeting his colleagues on the walkway. ‎ B. Communicating while working in his office.‎ C. Coming across acquaintances and reacting badly.‎ D. Pretending to be friendly towards everyone at work.‎ ‎67. The awkwardness of horrordor mainly lies in ________.‎ ‎ A. what topic to speak on B. how to make eye contact ‎ C. what expression to put on D. how to avoid other’s attention ‎68. What does Jeremy Nicholson mean by saying “take a moment to center yourself”?‎ ‎ A. Have your attention concentrated. B. Try to be self-centered for a while.‎ ‎ C. Make yourself the center of the crowd. D. Regard yourself as the most important.‎ ‎69. What does the author think of Ronald Riggio’s straightforward system?‎ A. Absolutely ideal. B. Highly complex. C. Hardly practical. D. Reasonable enough.‎ ‎70 What does Jeremy Nicholson suggest doing to deal with horrordor?‎ ‎ A. Always wearing a happy smile. B. Taking every chance to avoid it.‎ C. Improving communication skills. D. Being open to your surroundings.‎ 第II卷（非选择题 共35分）‎ 第四部分 （共三节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。‎ ‎ If you apply for a job position with a foreign company, chances are you will be asked to provide an English cover letter along with your resume.‎ ‎ But what exactly is a cover letter? How long should it be? And most importantly, what should you write about? A cover letter, or motivation letter, is almost a standard requirement when applying for international jobs. In brief, it is a letter introducing yourself as a person and explaining why you are applying for the position. But there is more to writing a good cover letter.‎ ‎ Usually a cover letter should be one page in length, including the sender’s and the recipient’s address, which should be placed at the top of the page. Under this, write a short header in bold print to inform the reader what the letter is about. For example, “Internship opportunity at Haier Group”. If you are sending an e-mail, put this information in the subject box. Next, address the employer by name if you know the contact person. Otherwise it is acceptable to use “Dear Hiring Manager”. ‎ ‎ In the first paragraph you should then say what position you are applying for and how you found out about it. In the next few paragraphs explain in detail why you believe yourself to be a suitable candidate for the position. In the final paragraph, express your enthusiasm for the position and say that you look forward to a response. Also offer to provide further information on request. ‎ ‎ There are some tips for you to follow.‎ ‎ The aim of the cover letter is to encourage the reader to look at your resume, so be confident but try to avoid repeating the same information that is already in your resume.‎ ‎ It is very important to tailor your cover letter to the position you are applying for. Read through the job description carefully and explain why you meet its requirements. It is best to provide concrete examples of where you learnt the skills necessary for the job, so include some information from your work experience and studies.‎ ‎ Don’t lie, as HR managers can easily assess whether you are saying the truth or not. Also, remember that if you are invited for an interview, you will most likely be asked questions about your previous experience, so think of good examples that demonstrate your skills, such as teamwork or problem solving. This is where you can really stand out from other applicants.‎ ‎ Writing a convincing cover letter takes a lot of time and effort, but don’t think you can cut corners by writing just one letter and sending it to different employers. The first thing HR managers will pay attention to is whether you have thoroughly researched the company. If they receive a generic letter it will probably end up in the dustbin.‎ ‎ Ask your parents, friends or your university’s career center to read through your cover letter, and make sure there are no spelling mistakes. You can look at samples of cover letters on the Internet for reference, but do not copy them. ‎ Title: Writing a Cover letter to Impress Questions Answers When is it needed?‎ When (71) ▲ for a job with a foreign company, you may be asked to offer a cover letter (72) ▲ in English and your resume.‎ What is it?‎ Briefly, it’s a letter introducing yourself and explaining the reason for job application.

As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other, and they may develop a friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them with their lessons, which benefits them all.‎ However, others don’t hold the same view. They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which may lead to them forming the bad habits. Besides, slower students often ask top students questions, which has a bad effect on their studies.‎ In my opinion, I’d like to choose to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each other and make progress together. ‎ Yours,‎ Li Ping 录音材料 ‎(Text 1）‎ W：How's your mother now? I heard she had an operation last week.‎ M：She is much better. Thank you. But she still needs to stay there for two more weeks.‎ ‎(Text 2)‎ W：Where shall I drop you off, sir?‎ M：I'm going to the airport，but please stop at the Healey Supermarket. My wife is waiting for me there. We're going to Canada together.‎ ‎(Text 3)‎ M：Pardon me, I asked for Thousand Island dressing on my salad.‎ W：I'm so sorry. I'll see that it's changed.‎ ‎（Text 4）‎ W: Wonderful！You began to learn driving only yesterday afternoon，but now you can drive well enough.‎ M：Err. I find driving is not so difficult as I expected before.‎ ‎(Text 5）‎ W：Dinner is ready.‎ M：I'm coming. Wow, so much food！Why so much food?‎ W：It's your birthday today. Remember?‎ M：Oh, I forgot it.‎ ‎(Text 6）‎ M：Hey，Lucy, I have a question I'd like to ask you.‎ W：Yes，go ahead.‎ M：Well，don't laugh.. But, I met this really nice woman through an online music group．I need some advice. You see，Claudia.‎ W：Ok. So it's Claudia.‎ M：Yeah，yeah. She invited me to spend two weeks in Germany. She is planning on introducing me to her parents. What should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany?‎ W：Weil，it depends upon your relationship with the person，now speaking of your girlfriend Claudia.‎ M：Hey，I didn't say she was my girlfriend.‎ W：Oh，ok，ok. Now if you are meeting someone for the first time, like Claudia's parents，you should make sure you arrive on time.‎ M：Ok，so arrive on time. Err，what about common greetings?‎ W：Well，Germans often shake hands and they use the person's family name unless they are really close friends.‎ M：Ok，what about with Claudia?‎ W：Err，you can call her Claudia，shake hands，and why don't you take her some flowers?‎ ‎(Text 7 )‎ W：There is a lot of traffic in the street. Is this the shopping district?‎ M：Yes，it is. There are many shopping malls.‎ M：What's the building on the right?‎ W： Oh，that's the department store. It sells clothes，furniture and food, almost everything.‎ M：Really? It's wonderful. That means I can save a lot of time since I can buy what I want all within the same building. I need some clothes.‎ W：Then you should go to Lincoln Street. There are a lot of men's clothing stores.‎ M：I see. I'll go there. Look, that's a beautiful theater.‎ W：Yes，and tonight there is a new play. And the building next to the theater is a hotel.‎ M：Is that a post office across the street? ‎ W：No，it's the city hall. The post office is at the end of the street on the right.‎ ‎(Text 8 )‎ M：What are you doing，Michael?‎ M：I am surfing the internet for information about universities.‎ W：So you are thinking about applying for university?‎ M：Right，the early bird catches the worm.‎ W：Which university do you prefer?‎ M：Three universities are within my choice，Manchester，Liverpool and Oxford.‎ W：Oh，all are famous. What do you wish to major in?‎ M：My father wants me to take off engineering；my mother prefers medicine while I prefer economics.‎ W：Have you decided yet?‎ M：Not really.‎ W：When is the deadline for the application?‎ M：For most universities，it's March 13th. but for smaller universities, four or 'five weeks later.‎ W：So there is not much time left for you with two weeks to go.‎ M：Right，I'd better hurry.‎ ‎(Text 9 )‎ M：Excuse me，madam. Can you tell me how to get to Sun College? I'm walking.‎ W：Well，I think the simplest way for you is to go up to Main Street over there. Turn left on Main Street and keep going for about 20 minutes. When you get to Water Square，turn right. Keep on，past the Mass Hospital，to the end of the road，and then take a left turn. You'll be on Rain Avenue. Walk two blocks until you see the Farmers' Bank. Cross the street and almost immediately take a left turn again. The entrance to Sun College is down a few yards on your right. Can you remember all that?‎ M：I guess I got a little lost in the middle.‎ W：Well，perhaps the best thing for you is to find your way up to Mass Hospital and ask again.‎ M：OK. Thanks a lot.‎ W：My pleasure.‎ ‎(Text 1 0）‎ M：Good evening，ladies and gentlemen. We are very happy to have Mr Brown and his party from Australia with us tonight.
