By habit he took a short-cut down the path behind Dugby Hall road and after a minute or two he saw a man climbing down a drainpipe (雨水管)from an open bedroom window of Number 29. In silence, Tidwell crept into the garden. The man reached the ground and was dusting himself down when he felt his arm caught.‎ ‎“It's 8:15 on a Sunday morning,” said the officer, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?”‎ The man was obviously scared but tried to keep calm. He said, “I know what you are thinking, officer, but it isn't true. This is a funny mistake.”‎ ‎“It's part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you've just left this house in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I'd like to make sure." Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me your story..."‎ ‎“Charlie Crane, a lorry driver, from Nottingham, 51 Breton Street. My story...”‎ ‎“ Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Crane?”‎ ‎“Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed and breakfast. The land-lady’s name is Mrs. Fern. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry park by half past seven. Only when I felt around for a cigarette did I realize I’d left $80 in my envelope under the pillow here at number 29. I always put it under my pillow at night. It's a habit I've got into. I even do it at home...”‎ ‎“I see. Why didn't you miss it when you went to pay Mrs.... What’s her name?”‎ ‎“I’d paid her last night. You’ve got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but it’s Sunday, and she’d gone back to bed, and could I wake her? I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here to the back and spotted my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. It’s a trick I learned in the army. She didn’t make the bed, and money was still there. You know the rest, I hope you believe it because...”‎ ‎“Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you’d gone an hour ago.” It was Mrs. Fern speaking from the kitchen at the corner of the house.[来源:学科网]‎ ‎24.

It seems to show that polar explorers who lived for 14 months at an Antarctica research station experienced brain shrinkage(缩小), likely as a result of their loneliness and boredom.‎ The study’s authors used MRI (核磁共振) to scan the brains of eight members of a team before they began a long stay at the German-run research station. During their mission. the team periodically took tests of their cognition and memory and provided blood samples that allowed the study authors to measure their levels of a protein important for brain health called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). When they returned, they had their brains scanned again.‎ Finally, compared to themselves before the mission, the explorers’ brains appeared to have less grey matter on average. The shrinkage was most apparent in the hippocampus, in the area of the brain key to memory and cognition. Their average levels of BDNF also dropped during the trip and didn’t improve significantly even after one-and-a-half months back home.‎ The study’s findings, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, aren’t the first to suggest that long time of being separated can change the brain. But practically all of this work has involved animals, according to the researchers.‎ Of course, an eight-person study is small, so any of its conclusions should be taken with caution. Lead author Alexander C. Stahn, now a researcher at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, said that the effects on the hippocampus are likely temporary, provided the scientists returned to a life filled with social interaction and interesting things to see.‎ Still, since people will continue traveling to and from Antarctica for long periods of time, the findings are definitely worth keeping in mind and exploring further. They might even prove relevant for the rare few people who might travel as far as Mars in the future — perhaps the only similarly scientific, months-long mission that would be even more lonely.‎ ‎28. What will do damage to the brain according to the first paragraph?‎ A. Doing research in brain shrinkage B. Traveling to the Antarctica.‎ C. Working as a researcher in a station. D. Being in a lonely place for a long time.‎ ‎29. How did the scientists get the conclusion?‎ A. By comparing the scanned results. B. By studying the previous figures.‎ C. By making a long-term program. D. By scanning the participants’ brains.‎ ‎30. What can we infer about the explorers when they returned?‎ A. They were no longer used to the civilized world.[来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K]‎ B. They had some difficulty in remembering things.‎ C. They became normal after one-and-a-half months.‎ D. They published their findings in a medical magazine.‎ ‎31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The importance of the finding. B. The disadvantage of the finding.‎ C. The future development of the space. D. The possibility of travelling to Mars.‎ D Communities across the world are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. The efforts are well intentioned but banning facial recognition is the wrong way to fight against modern surveillance（监 视）.Generally, modern mass surveillance has three broad components: identification（辨认）, correlation（关联） and discrimination（歧视）.‎ Facial recognition is a technology that can be used to identify people without their consent（同意）. Once we are identified, the data about who we are and what we are doing can be correlated with other data. This might be movement data, which can be used to “follow” us as we move throughout our day. It can be purchasing data, Internet browsing data, or data about who we talk to via email or text. It might be data about our income, ethnicity（种族）, lifestyle, profession and interests. There is an entire industry of data brokers who make a living by selling our data without our consent.[来源:学#科#网Z#X#X#K]‎ It's not just that they know who we are; it's that they correlate what they know about us to create profiles about who we are and what our interests are. The whole purpose of this process is for companies to treat individuals differently. We are shown different ads on the Internet and receive different offers for credit cards. In the future, we might be treated differently when we walk into a store, just as we currently are when we visit websites.‎ It doesn't matter which technology is used to identify people. What's important is that we can be consistently identified over time. We might be completely anonymous （匿名的）in a system that uses unique cookies to track us as we browse the Internet, but the same process of correlation and discrimination still occurs.‎ Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process. A ban on facial recognition won't make any difference. The problem is that we are being identified without our knowledge or consent, and society needs rules about when that is permissible.‎ Similarly, we need rules about how our data can be combined with other data, and then bought and sold without our knowledge or consent. The data broker industry is almost entirely unregulated now. Reasonable laws would prevent the worst of their abuses.‎ Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate. Discrimination based on protected characteristics like race and gender is already illegal, but those rules are ineffectual against the current technologies of surveillance and control. When people can be identified and ‎ their data correlated at a speed and scale previously unseen, we need new rules.‎ Today, facial recognition technologies are receiving the force of the tech backlash （抵制），but focusing on them misses the point. We need to have a serious conversation about all the technologies of identification, correlation and discrimination, and decide how much we want to be spied on and what sorts of influence we want them to have over our lives.‎ ‎32. According to Para.2, with facial recognition _______.‎ A. one’s lifestyle changes greatly B. one's email content is disclosed C. one's profiles are updated in time D. one's personal information is released ‎33. We can learn from the passage that _______.‎ A. discrimination based on new tech surveillance is illegal B. different browsing data bring in different advertisements C. using mobiles anonymously keeps us from being correlated D. data brokers control the current technologies of surveillance ‎34. The underlined part “the point”, in the last paragraph probably refers to _______.‎ A. people's concern over their safety B. the nature of the surveillance society C. proper regulation of mass surveillance D. the importance of identification technology ‎35. The author wrote this passage to _______.‎ A. call for banning facial recognition technologies B. advocate the urgent need for changes in related laws C. inform readers of the disadvantages of facial recognition D. evaluate three broad components in modem mass surveillance 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入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ There is no need to say again in business psychology that high self-confidence is the key to career success. I think low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful. Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful. It prevents performance by including fear, worry, and stress, which may drive people to give ‎ up sooner or later. ___36___. If your confidence is low, rather than extremely low, you stand a better chance of succeeding than if you have high self-confidence.‎ ‎___37___. Therefore, you will be self-critical. Most people get trapped in their optimistic prejudice, so they tend to listen to positive feedback(反馈)and ignore negative feedback. Although this may help them come across as being confident to others, in any area of competition an achievement is 10% performance and 90% preparation. ___38___.‎ Lower self-confidence can get you to work harder and prepare more. If you are careful about your goals, you will work harder when you lack confidence in your abilities. ___39___, low confidence is negative. If you really want to do what you want, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it because it will make you know the distance to the goals.‎ Lower self-confidence reduces the possibilities of pride and disappointment. ___40___, they are more likely to admit mistakes instead of blaming others. This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence because it points to the fact that low self-confidence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society.‎ A. Then if you care about your inability very much,‎ B. Lower self-confidence makes you focus on negative feedback.‎ C. So low confidence can only prevent you from succeeding.‎ D. Thus, the more you know weaknesses, the better prepared you will be.‎ E. But appropriate low confidence helps you adjust your goals to complete.‎ F. Indeed, if people have low self-confidence,‎ G. Actually when you are careless about your goals,‎ 三、 完形填空（二）（共 20 小题； 每小题 1.5 分， 满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项.‎ For years, I thought a present and a gift as the same thing.‎ I grew up in a household where presents marked special ____41____ There was always a box for each of us under the tree at Christmas. ____42____, Dad always gave Mom something each Valentine’s Day and anniversary.

Yet he came home with a road scraper(刮路机).‎ ‎____54____when the snowstorm stopped later that year and he was at sea, I used the road scraper to plow （犁）out both our driveway and our neighbor’s, thinking how ____55____ earrings would have been and it was then that I realized he had been giving me gifts all along. The gestures, large and small, born of his caring and concern were the ____56____that he gave daily.‎ We ____57____ to teach others how to love us.
