2、 QuesUonsare based on the following paassage
According to a study conducted last April, female seniors studying at Boston College left the university with lower self-confidence than when they entered as freshmen.
The study, administered by the Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Assessment at Boston College, examined two surveys: the first of which was taken by students during their freshman year, and the second of which was taken by students exiting their senior year.
Despite reports of high academic achievement, most female students gave themselves weaker self-evaluations in the second survey.Abbey Clark, a senior and founder of the Boston College chapter (分会) of I AM THAT GIRL, a female-empowerment (赋权) community, says the finding is "startling".
Clark hopes to change the trend by creating an open community that will ignite (点燃) confidence and empowerment in young women.
I AM THAT GIRL, a global community which aims to help girls turn their self-doubt into self-love, is all about celebrating womens unique selves, Clark says.
"I AM THAT GIRL helps girls turn their stories of struggle and adversity (逆境) into stories of
connectedness and empowerment and feeling good about themselves," Clark says. "I think that all high school girls at one time or another can relate to the feeling of not being good enough."
To help young girls overcome these feelings, Clark says I AM THAT GIRL at Boston College which
boasts 100 members in its first registered year on campus, holds weekly meetings offering a "safe space" for college students in which they can discuss topics like body image, relationships, family dynamics and finding ones passions.
Maria Pascucci, the founder of Campus Calm, a national organization that aims to help college women lead healthy, happy lives, says females feel the pressure to be perfect on a regular basis. She added that the media sends mixed messages to young girls, advising them to be the best they can be while simultaneously persuading them to buy more and strive for more.
"In our society, being a perfectionist is a glorified and socially acceptable form of self-abuse," Pascucci says.
Pascucci, who was teased as a young girl and suffered self-esteem issues, says her main message to young gifts is to let them know their sense of worth comes from within.
"When we begin to compare ourselves to others, especially when were vulnerable, that can do a lot of damage to our self-esteem," she says.
Clark echoes Pascuccis point, saying its important to let young girls know that their physical
appearance is only "one slice of the pie".
"Girls have a lot to bring to the table," Clark says, "and thats looking past physical beauty and just celebrating something unique within yourself that isnt so apparent."
What can we learn about the female seniors at Boston College?
A.They took two surveys at the same time.
B.They had improved theft academic performance.
C.They had lost some confidence in themselves.
D.They always feel the pressure to be perfect.
3、根据以下内容回答题
A.When Takanori Shibata began working on robots in the early 1990s, he had something practical in mind, perhaps to help the elderly with their daily chores. But.he soon realized that robots were not really able to do anything useful, so he decided to make a robot that did not even try--but that could nevertheless deliver real benefits.
B. The result of his labors, Paro, has been in development since 1998. It is 57cm long and looks like a baby seal. Thanks to an array of sub-skin sensors, it responds amiably to stroking; and though it cannot walk, it can turn its head at the sound of a human voice and tell one voice from another. It is a comforting and gentle presence in your arms, on your lap or on a table top, where it gives the impression of following a conversation. The best thing about it is that it seems to be helping in the care of people with dementia (痴呆) and other health problems.
C) You could see Paro as a very well-designed $5,000 pet that will never turn on the person holding it, and will never be hurt if its master flies into a rage. It is as happy on one lap as the next, needs no house-training, can be easily washed and will not die. This makes it much more practical for a nursing home or hospital than a live pet. It is used in such homes in Japan, in parts of Europe and in America.
D) Paro can also act as a source of reassurance and calm. People with Alzheimers often suffer from "sun-downing"---a distressed urge to wander that comes on towards the end of the afternoon. Mr. Shibata has found that a seal in the arms tends to reduce such wandering, which means fewer falls. Experience in Italy, Denmark and America indicates that care homes equipped with Paro need less medication for their residents. Larger trials now under way in Australia should establish whether this and other benefits can be provided simply by a soft toy, or whether Paros ability to interact with the world makes a clinical difference.
E. If Paro proves to be more useful than a plush (毛绒) animal, there is a huge market for it. Akifumi Kitashima, who works on Japans robotics strategy at the Ministry for the Economy, Trade and Industry, points out that in 2025 Japan will have 10.7 million more elderly people than it did in 2005. Though Japan is ageing particularly quickly, a lot of the rest of the world is on A) similar course.
F. Looking after old people in homes might become easier with robots, be they mood enhancers like Paro or something more practical that can help careworkers lift and reposition their charges (受照料者) . Yoshiyuki Sankai, perhaps Japans best-known robotics entrepreneur, has set up a company called Cyberdyne to make wearable systems that help people walk and lift things by adding artificial strength to their limbs.
G. Robots may also make it possible for old people to stay independent in their own homes for longer. Mr.Angle says this is iRobots "long-term guiding star", towards which the Roomba--a cleaning robot--is a small step. Mr. Gupta at the National Science Foundation thinks that general-purpose home-help robots would be a big advance which could be achieved in a couple of decades. Another robotics expert Mr. Ng points out that if you get a graduate student to teleoperate (远程操控) a PR2 robot, it can already do almost everything a home-help robot might be required to do, so all that is needed is better software and more processing power, both of which are becoming ever more easily available.
H. Cloud robotics can probably provide much of the required software. Mr. Pratt says that if. there were dramatic performance improvements in the finals of the DARPA Robotics Challenge, he would expect them to come from the cloud
I. But specific robot hardware will need upgrading, too. No robot hand yet comes close to the utility of the human hand Tasks that require feedback in terms of force and fit--like putting a plug into a socket--remain particularly hard for robots, and there are a lot of such tasks around a house. General technological progress will not help; the only way to find a solution to this sort of problem is to work specifically on it.
J. Even more important will be interfaces (界面) to tell the robots what to do. Take-me-by-the-wrist Baxter, stroke-me Paro and the film-enabling mechanical arms of Bot & Dolly all show that interfaces can matter just as much as any other technological advance. Tobias Kirmebrew, of Bot & Dolly, thinks that new interfaces could open up markets and applications of robotics in all sorts of fields, and might do so surprisingly quickly.
K. Voice would be an obvious choice, but it has its drawbacks: the user will think a robot with a voice is smart. An interface that allows the robot to be dumb and the user not to care might be preferable.Indeed, small errors or needing help with something can be endearing. People do not resent Paros need to be stroked; it is one of the things they like about it. CoBots need for help with the lifts at Carnegie Mellon makes people warm to it, though being troubled for help by random robots in offices and shopping malls would probably not work so well. But if the interface is properly designed, teaching a home-help robot to do the job better might make it more welcome.
L. It may also be a good idea to let the robots turn for help to people other than those they are working for.As Mr. Goldberg at Berkeley points out, the cloud does not just contain computers; it provides access to a lot of humans, too. One of the things that make Aethons Tugs a success in hospitals is that the companys headquarters has a staffed help desk which deals with queries from robots. If one gets stuck or lost, a remote operator can look through its eyes, check its logs and sort things out before the hospital even becomes aware that anything is wrong. If similar support could be provided for robot home helps, the occasional mistake might not matter.
M. If the robot can call on a help desk, it can communicate with other people too, perhaps providing a way for friends and relatives to stay in touch. Some home-automation products already allow a degree of monitoring, notes Oz Chambers of Carnegie Mellon, but what they offer leaves much to be desired .It makes the adult offspring feel greater responsibility--which they often cannot exercise—rather than giving them reassurance. The elderly, for their part, can feel snooped (窥探) upon. A robot with a defined presence in the house might make a better intermediary.
N. What matters, as iRobot and other practically minded companies have learned, is not so much having robots but having a business model that does a job, be it washing the dishes, checking that medication is being taken or providing telepresence (远程监控) . Producing something reliable and likeable that can be sold in large numbers and does not get its makers sued may prove a lot more difficult than simply developing the required robotic skills, but not impossible.
O. To be sure, robots will not spread as quickly as mobile phones have done. Over a decade they may not achieve much. Over a century, though, they could turn everyday life upside down.
Paro is adopted in a number of nursing homes around the world for its obvious advantages over a live animal.
4、 QuesUonsare based on the following paassage
Whether striding ahead with pride or slouching (没精打采地站) gloomily, we all broadcast our emotions through body language.Now a computer has learned to interpret those unspoken cues as well as you or I.
Antonio Camurri of the University of Genoa in Italy and colleagues have built a system which uses the depth-sensing, motion-capture camera in Microsofts Kinect (体感游戏机) to determine the emotion conveyed by a persons body movements.Using computers to capture emotions has been done before, but typically focuses on facial analysis or voice recording.Reading someones emotional state from the way they walk across a room or their posture as they sit at a desk means they dont have to speak or look into a camera
"Its a nice achievement," says Frank Pollick, professor of psychology at the University of Glasgow, UK."Being able to use the Kinect for this is really useful."
The system uses the Kinect camera to build, a stick figure representation of a person that includes information on how his head, torso (躯干) , hands and shoulders are moving.Software looks for body positions and movements widely recognized in psychology as indicative of certain emotional states.For example, if a persons head is bowed and their shoulders are drooping (下垂) , that might indicate sadness or fear.Adding in the speed of movement--slow indicates sadness, while fast indicates fear--allows the software to determine how someone is feeling.In tests, the system correctly identified emotions in the stick figures 61.3% of the time, compared with a 61.9% success rate for 60 human volunteers.
Camurri is using the system to build games that teach children with autism (自闭症.to recognize and express emotions through full-body movements.Understanding how another person feels can be difficult for people with autism, and recognizing fear is more difficult than happiness.
"In one of the serious games we developed, a child is invited to look at a short video of an actor expressing an emotion," Camurri says."Then the child is invited to guess which emotion was expressed in the video." He adds that you can also ask the child to express the same emotion just by moving her body; joy, for example, can be characterized by energetic, fluid movements and a tendency to raise your arms.
The team also plans to use the system to figure out how "in tune" a group of people is with their leader, looking for signals like how peoples heads move when someone is speaking.
Pollick says it could be useful as an automatic way to classify emotion--as part of a CCTV (闭路电视)system to infer intent, or to help shops understand customers.
What is the advantage of the newly-developed system over previous research?
A.In tests it identified a persons emotion more correctly.
B.It uses Microsofts Kinect in a better way.
C.It does not require a fixed position in front of a camera
D.It represents a person in a more detailed and vivid way.

Q: What does the man mean?
Conversation One
M: I see on your resume that you worked as a manager of a store called “Computer Country”. Could you tell me a little more about your responsibilities there?
W: Sure. I was responsible for overseeing about 30 employees. I did all of the ordering for the store, and I kept track of the inventory.
M: What was the most difficult part of your job?
W: Probably handling angry customers. We didn’t have them very often, but when we did, I needed to make sure they were well taken care of. After all, the customer is always right.
M: That’s how we feel here too. How long did you work there?
W: I was there for three and a half years. I left the company last month.
M: And why did you leave?
W: My husband has been transferred to Boston. And I understand your company has an opening there too.
M: Yes, that’s right. We do. But the position won’t start until early next month. Would that be a problem for you?
W: No, not at all. My husband’s new job doesn’t begin for a few weeks. So we thought we would spend some time driving to Boston and stop to see my parents.
M: That sounds nice. So tell me, why are you interested in this particular position?
W: I know that your company has a great reputation, and a wonderful product. I’ve thought many times that I would like to be a part of it. When I heard about the opening in Boston, I jumped to the opportunity.

M: You know this isn’t the first time that people are saying Brazil will be a great economic power. The same thing was said over a hundred year ago. But it didn’t happen.
W: Yes, but you must admit the world’s a very different place now.
M: Of course. In fact I believe there’s maybe some truth in the prediction this time around. First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment.
W: Such as…?
M: There’s an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country. In Sal Paulo, you can see shopping malls full of designer goods right next door to the slam areas without proper water and electricity supplies. A lot of work needs to be done to help people in those areas improve their lives.
W: What needs to be done?
M: Education, for example. For Brazil to be successful, we need to offer education to all Brazilians. Successful countries like South Korea and Singapore have excellent education systems. Brazil needs to learn from these countries.
W: So you are hopeful for the future.
M: As I said earlier, I’m hopeful. This isn’t an easy job. We need to make sure that these important opportunities for Brazil aren’t wasted, as they were in the past.
23. What does the recent report say about Brazil?
24. What problem does Alberto say Brazil faces now?
25. What does Alberto say about economically successful countries?

Passage One
Wilma Subra had no intention of becoming a public speaker. After graduating from college with degrees in chemistry and microbiology, she went to work at Gulf South Research Institute in Louisiana. As part of her job, she conducted field research on toxic substances in the environment, often in minority communities located near large industrial polluters. She found many families were being exposed high, sometimes deadly, levels of chemicals and other toxic substances, but she was not allowed to make her information public.
Frustrated by these restrictions, Subra left her job in 1981, created her own company, and has devoted the past two decades to helping people fight back against giant industrial polluters. She works with families and community groups to conduct environmental tests, interpret test results, and organize for change. Because of her efforts, dozens of toxic sites across the country have been cleaned up, and one chemical industry spokesperson calls her “a top gun for the environmental movement.”
How has Wilma Subra achieved all this? Partly through her scientific training, partly through her commitment to environmental justice. But just as important is her ability to communicate with people through public speaking. “Public speaking,” she says, “is the primary vehicle I use for reaching people.”
If you had asked Subra before 1981, “Do you see yourself as a major public speaker?” She would have laughed at the idea. Yet today she gives more than 100 presentations a year. Along the way she has lectured at Harvard, testified before Congress, and addressed audiences in 40 states, as well as in Mexico, Canada, and Japan.
26. What did Wilma Subra do as part of her job while working at Gulf South Research Institute?
27. What did Wilma Subra leave her job in 1981?
28. What results have Wilma Subra’s efforts had in the part two decades?
29. What does the speaker say has contributed to Wilma Subra’s success?
Passage 2
One of the biggest challenges facing employers and educators today is the rapid advance of globalization. The market place is no longer national or regional, but extends to all corners of the world. And this requires a global ready workforce. Universities have a large part to play in preparing students for the 21st century labor market by promoting international educational experiences. The most obvious way universities can help develop global workforce is by encouraging students to study abroad as part of their course. Students who have experienced another culture first hand are more likely to be global ready when they graduate.
Global workforce development doesn’t always have to involve travel abroad however. If students learn another language and study other cultures, they will be more global ready when they graduate. It is important to point out that students also need to have a deep understanding of their own culture before they can begin to observe, analyze and evaluate other cultures. In multi-cultural societies, people can study each other’s cultures, to develop intercultural competencies, such as critical and reflective thinking, and intellectual flexibility. This can be done both through the curriculum and through activities on campus, outside of the classroom, such as art exhibitions, and lectures from international experts. Many universities are already embracing this challenge, and providing opportunities for students to become global citizens. Students themselves, however, may not realize that when they graduate, they will be competing in a global labor market, and universities need to raise awareness of these issues amongst undergraduates.
Questions 30-32
Q30: What is one of the biggest challenges facing employers and educators today?
Q31: What should students do first before they can really understand other cultures?
Q32: What should college students realize according to the speaker?
Passage 3
To see if hair color affects a person’s chances of getting a job, researchers at California State University asked 136 college students to review the resume and photograph of a female applicant for a job as an accountant. Each student was given the same resume. But the applicant’s picture was altered, so that in some photos her hair was golden, in some red and in some brown. The result? With brown hair, the woman was rated more capable, and she was offered a higher salary than when she had golden or red hair. Other studies have found similar results. Many respondents rate women with golden hair with less intelligent than other people, and red heads as more temperamental. Women with red or golden hair are victims of the common practice of stereotyping.
A stereotype is a simplistic or exaggerated image that humans carrying in their minds about groups of people. For example, lawyers are shrewd and dishonest is a popular stereotype. Stereotyping can occur in public speaking classes. When trying to choose a speech topic, some males think that women are uninterested in how to repair cars, while some females think that men are uninterested in creative hobbies, such as knitting and needle point. We should reject stereotypes, because they force all people in a group into the same simple pattern. They fail to account for individual differences, and the wide range of characteristics among members of any group. Some lawyers are dishonest, yes! But many are not. Some women are uninterested in repairing cars, yes! But some are enthusiastic mechanics.
Questions 33-35
Q33: What did researchers at California State University find?
Q34: What is the popular stereotype of lawyers?
Q35: Why does the speaker say we should reject stereotypes?
Section C
The ancient Greeks developed basic memory systems called mnemonics. The name is derived from their Goddess of memory "Mnemosyne". In the ancient world, a trained memory was an immense asset, particularly in public life. There were no convenient devices for taking notes, and early Greek orators delivered long speeches with great accuracy because they learned the speeches using mnemonic systems.
The Greeks discovered that human memory is largely an associative process that it works by linking things together. For example, think of an apple. The instant your brain registers the word "apple", it recalls the shape, color, taste, smell and texture of that fruit. All these things are associated in your memory with the word "apple". This means that any thought about a certain subject will often bring up more memories that are related to it. An example could be when you think about a lecture you have had. This could trigger a memory about what youre talking about through that lecture, which can then trigger another memory. Associations do not have to be logical. They just have to make a good link. An example given on a website I was looking at follows, "Do you remember the shape of Austria? Canada? Belgium? Or Germany? Probably not. What about Italy though? If you remember the shape of Italy, it is because you have been told at some time that Italy is shaped like a boot. You made an association with something already known, the shape of a boot. And Italy shape could not be forgotten once you had made the association."

When most people think of the word "education," they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers(26) stuff "education."
But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not (27 )the stuffings of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the 28 of what is in the mind.
"The most important part of education," once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the (29) Harvard philosopher, "is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him. And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, "I know, learn from me." He said, rather, "Look into your own selvers and find the (30) of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only you can kindle (点燃) to a( 31)."
In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of (32), and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really "knows" geometry--because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.
So many of the discussions and (33) about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they(34) what should "go into" the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done.
The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, "I spend so much time studying that I dont have a chance to learn anything," was clearly expressing his ( 35 ) with the sausage-casing view of education.
