21、WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A DOLLAR？

AMERICAN DINNER-TABLE rules are simple：Don't discuss religion，politics，or money.

Money is especially bad. It makes people evil，small-minded and mean. Still，we want it. Little in life is simpler，or more symbolic of possibility，than a single George Washington. So we asked a handful of creative thinkers：What's the best way to invest a dollar？

■I would travel to an American post-industrial town，find a boardedup theater，and buy it for one dollar. Working with friends，I would rally（重整）the community together，raise money，and open it independently. This is what happened in the town of Cohoes，New York，and it can happen anywhere.

DEV AUJLA，founder of DreamNow

■Buy a newspaper which provides a credible source of news. It's cheap, it's informative, and staying current will help you strike up a conversation with people who could help advance your career.

ROB FRIEDMAN, a risk associate

■In my travels, I'd say that what people need most besides security and education is access to clean drinking water. So I'd give the dollar to a nonprofit or tech company that provides water sources to communities in need. A simple well with a solar-powered pump might have met their temporary needs.

BEN HARRISON, a U. S. Marine

■I would bury the dollar in the most beautiful place I could find，then create an elaborate（复杂的）map to the dollar.I would hope someone would discover this map years from now and have an adventure to go on.

PHILP STOCKTON，a filmmaker

【1】What docs the underlined phrase "a single George Washington" refer to?

22、   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,” says 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 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 studies 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 originate 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.”

【1】The underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that _________.

A.good ideas from less important institutions lack influence.

B.the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintain.

C.scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless.

D.the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spread.

【2】The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate _________.

A.why the originating institutions transfer their new findings.

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

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

D.the statistics the epidemological model provides for the researchers.

【3】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.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.Infectious Diseases. B.Original Ideas.

C.Epidemiological Model. D.Idea Epidemic.

23、   Most groups of plants and animals are richer in species and more plentiful near the equator. In the ocean, that holds true for cold-blooded predators(掠食者). But warm-blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots. Why?

John Grady, an ecologist, and his team considered the possibility—warm-blooded animals need a lot to fuel their metabolism(新陈代谢). Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish? But they found that at higher, colder places, there isn’t actually much more food around. It’s more that warm-blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold-blooded competitors.

The real explanation is simple. An animal’s speed, swiftness, and intelligence depend on its metabolism, which in turn depends on its temperature. Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions, they remain fast and attentive. By contrast, the fish they hunt become slower and duller. At some tipping point of temperature, seals, dolphins, and penguins start outswimming their prey(猎物). They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold-blooded predators of their own.

In Grady’s words, “Warm-bodied predators are favoured where preys are slow, stupid and cold.” That’s why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator, but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals. By keeping food to themselves in the poles, these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey, which makes them more likely to split into separate species. The killer whales of the North Pacific, for example, include mammal-eating transients and fish-eating, year-round residents.

But the world is changing. It’s likely that the surface of the oceans will warm by 2 to 3℃ within this century. Grady’s team estimates that every time the ocean’s surface warms by 1℃, populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%, and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 24%.

But “predictions are hard,” Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes. “Polar bears are losers of a warming world, but some populations are still doing well. Some groups of whales have changed the timing of their migrations; others are hunting in deeper, colder waters. These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates. Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow, stupid and cold.”

【1】Why are there more types of warm-blooded predators near the poles?

A. Because there is more food.

B. Because there are fewer enemies.

C. Because they are faster and wiser.

D. Because they consume less energy.

【2】The author mentions the killer whales to show ______.

A. the benefit of biological evolution

B. food preference of different sea mammals

C. the distinction of specific types of predators

D. the advantage of constant body temperature

【3】What is Donna Hauser’s attitude towards the future of the sea mammals?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Neutral. D. Sceptical.

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Are the Poles Heaven for Sea Predators?

B. How Do Sea Mammals Track Their Prey?

C. Why Do the Warm-Blooded Like Food Cold?

D. Is the World Too Hot for the Warm-Blooded?

24、In the first days of the new year, a photo from Rio’s traditional fireworks show on Copacabana Beach has spread like wildfire on Brazilian social networks — a shot of a little boy, alone, wading into the water, separated from the joyful crowd celebrating and taking pictures behind him. Arms crossed, he stares up wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the fireworks in the sky.

Despite the absence of any information about the child other than his age 9, the image Lucas Landau shot for Reuters news agency has sparked tens of thousands of shares and comments on social media, newspaper articles, blog posts and a national debate about race, class and inequality. To some, it’s just a photo of a young black boy attracted by the spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks. People need to stop thinking that all black boys, without shirts on, are abandoned, sad, alone and unhappy. To others, the image is emblematic of Brazil’s acute inequality.

About half of Brazil’s population of 200 million identify as mixed-race/black, second only to Nigeria. But black and mixed-raced Brazilians are underrepresented in academia, politics and leadership roles. Less than 10 percent of Brazil's Congress is black, and just 18 percent of leadership roles are held by Afro-Brazilians.

For Luiz Augusto Campos, a sociologist at Rio State University, the wide-ranging interpretations of the photo, as well as the explosive debate it generated, represents a changing tide for Afro-Brazilians. “The fact that it’s become so problematic is a reflection of a complex transition in terms of race in Brazil,” he said, adding that 20 or 30 years ago, the photo would have stirred few or no concerns about whether it strengthened negative stereotypes(刻板印象).

“These changes are still relatively small in Brazil, but they have the long-term objective of dissociating the ideas of blackness and poverty,” Campos said.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A. The boy in the photo has been abandoned and needs urgent help.

B. Afro-Brazilians are mistreated because they are in the minority.

C. The debate the image generates worsens the acute inequality.

D. The boy’s age is mentioned in the news.

【2】Which word can be used to replace the underlined word “emblematic”?

A. Problematic.   B. Representative.   C. Objective.   D. Significant.

【3】Which of the following statements may Campos agree with?

A. The debate reflects a positive tendency in Brazil.

B. The debate could have been more fierce 20 or 30 years ago.

C. The Afro-Brazilians should fight for their rights.

D. The Afro-Brazilians have successfully raised their social status.

【4】What problem does the photo reflect according to this passage?

A. The racial inequality in Brazil.

B. The social status of the Afro-Brazilians.

C. The stereotype to associate blackness with poverty in Brazil.

D. The Afro-Brazilians’ fighting for rights.
