According to BT's futurologist, Ian Pearson, these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of 1，000 years), when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life. 　　Pearson has __1__ together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a __2__ millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key __3__ and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an __4__ life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs __5__ into use between now and 2040. 　　Pearson also __6__ a breakthrough in computer human links. &By linking __7__ to our nervous system, computers could pick up __8__ we feel and, hopefully, simulate __9__ too so that we can start to __10__ full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,& he says. 　　But that, Pearson points __11__, is only the start of man-machine __12__:&It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will __13__ lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.&__14__ his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there are still no __15__ for when faster-than-light travel will be __16__, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible. 　　But he does __17__ social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, __18__ problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic __19__ robots will mean people may not be able to __20__ between their human friends and the droids. And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder-kitchen rage. 　　1.[A]taken [B]pieced [C]kept [D]made 　　2.[A]complicated [B]delicate [C]subtle [D]unique 　　3.[A]breakthroughs [B]findings [C]events [D]incidents 　　4.[A]expanded [B]extended [C]enlarged [D]enriched 　　5.[A]being [B]becoming [C]carrying [D]coming 　　6.[A]schedules [B]plans [C]predicts [D]designs 　　7.[A]directly [B]instantly [C]precisely [D]automatically 　　8.[A]that [B]how [C]what [D]all 　　9.[A]thinking [B]hearing [C]sight [D]feeling 　　10.[A]form [B]develop [C]find [D]undertake 　　11.[A]out [B]at [C]to [D]toward 　　12.[A]program [B]production [C]experiment [D]integration 　　13.[A]finally [B]ultimately [C]utterly [D]absolutely 　　14.[A]Through [B]Though [C]During [D]By 　　15.[A]forecasts [B]articles [C]stories [D]meetings 　　16.[A]advisable [B]affordable [C]available [D]valuable 　　17.[A]solve [B]arose [C]exercise [D]expect 　　18.[A]confront [B]cause [C]witness [D]collect 　　19.[A]lovely [B]likely [C]lifelike [D]lively 　　20.[A]distinguish [B]differ [C]diagnose [D]deviate 　　参考答案及解析： 　　1.B piece together拼凑，结合 　　2.D complicated复杂的;delicate精致的，脆弱的;subtle狡猾的，敏感的;unique唯一的，独特的 　　3.A breakthrough突破;finding发现;event事件;incident事件，事变 　　4.B expanded膨胀的，扩张的;extended伸出的，延长的;enlarged放大的，扩大的;enriched浓缩的，强化的;extend life expectance延长寿命。 　　5.D come into use开始投入使用 　　6.C schedule确定时间;plan计划;predict预测;design设计 　　7.A directly直接地;instantly立即;precisely精确地;automatically自动地 　　8.C 　　9.D 根据上文what we feel,以及下文full sensory environments，可知D符合文意。 　　10.B 　　11.A point to和point at都是&指向&的意思，point out指出，提出 　　12.D integration综合，集成，此处指人机一体化 　　13.B finally表示久等之后，有时表示在一系列因素的最后一个，eg:After putting it off three times,we finally managed to have a holiday in Greece. 　　utlimately指最后，终于，基本上，即达到最高界线。eg:Ultimately people rely on science to gain an understanding of biological phenomena. 　　14.A through为连词，后应接句子;during表示过程;by表示方式、手段或借助某种工具。 　　15.A forecast先见，预测 　　16.C available可利用的，可行的 　　17.D 注意主语是人，不选arose 　　18.B 　　19.C lovely可爱的，有趣的;likely可能的;lifelike逼真的;lively活泼的 　　20.Adiagnose诊断;deviate from背离

CBS TELEVISION STATIONS AND WEIGEL BROADCASTING UNVEIL PLANS FOR “DECADES,” THE ULTIMATE TV TIME CAPSULE, FOR NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION ACROSS LOCAL STATIONS’ DIGITAL SUBCHANNELS
Published on: 10/21/2014
&Decades& to Feature Vast Library of More Than 100 Television Series,
Plus Theatrical and Made-For-Television Movies
Original Programming to Include &Decades RetrospecticalSM,&
A Daily Topical Show That Will Offer Viewers an Opportunity to&Relive, Remember & RelateSMTo Historic Events with Footage From the CBS News and &Entertainment Tonight& Archives&
CBS-Owned Television Stations to Serve as Launch Group
&&&&&&&&&&& NEW YORK and CHICAGO & The CBS Television Stations group, a division of CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS), and Weigel Broadcasting today announced plans to launch DECADES, a new national entertainment programming service for distribution across local television stations& digital subchannels & broadcast channels that utilize a local station&s available spectrum to provide a companion to that station&s primary channel.& For example, in the New York market, WCBS-TV will continue to be available digitally as Channel 2.1 and DECADES will be available as Channel 2.2. In addition to being available as an over-the-air broadcast channel, DECADES will appear on numerous local cable systems and other multichannel video programming distribution services along with the stations& primary channels.
Utilizing a library of more than 100 classic television series, including select titles from the CBS library such as I LOVE LUCY from the 1950s, STAR TREK from the 1960s, HAPPY DAYS from the 1970s and CHEERS from the 1980s, as well as a wide selection of theatrical and made-for-television movies and footage of historical news events from the archives of CBS News and ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, DECADES will provide viewers with a new way to experience our shared historical and cultural past.
As the ultimate TV time machine, DECADES will differentiate itself from other subchannel programming services by varying the classic series and movies that appear on the network every day. & &
&DECADES is the most ambitious and creative subchannel programming service that has ever been created,& said Peter Dunn, President, CBS Television Stations. &We are thrilled to partner with Weigel Broadcasting, the leaders in this space, to make smart use of our stations& spectrums and our companies& considerable programming assets. This service will be a tremendous new business for CBS and all of the other stations across the country that participate, regardless of their primary network affiliation.&
&DECADES takes the digital broadcast network platform to a new level. Viewers will &Relive, Remember & Relate& to the events that touched their lives and generations past. The events, themes and programming possibilities are endless. We are truly honored to be chosen as the company to develop the CBS Television Stations& diginet product, and look forward to the launch of DECADES next year,& stated Norman H. Shapiro, President of Weigel.
DECADES will take viewers into a daily time capsule presentation of entertainment, popular culture and news. The service will feature DECADES RETROSPECTICALSM, a daily one-hour program that will be produced around the news events and cultural touchstones of a specific day, week or other time frame or theme. The TV series and movies presented each day will reflect that day&s theme or commemorative event.
For example, DECADES will look back at classic series such as HAPPY DAYS and its &jump the shark& episode, explain its historical significance and then broadcast that episode. Viewers will also be taken back in time to rediscover events that shaped our world, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, the Beatles& U.S. debut on THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW and the birth of software and technology companies like Microsoft and Apple. DECADES will connect these events to what people were watching on television, seeing at the movies and experiencing as a nation.
&&&&&&&&&&& DECADES is expected to debut during the second quarter of 2015, with the 16 CBS-owned stations that are part of the CBS Television Network serving as the new service&s launch group. This includes the CBS stations serving New York City (WCBS), Los Angeles (KCBS), Chicago (WBBM), Philadelphia (KYW), Dallas (KTVT), San Francisco (KPIX), Boston (WBZ), Detroit (WWJ), Minneapolis-St. Paul (WCCO and its satellite stations KCCO and KCCW), Miami (WFOR), Denver (KCNC), Sacramento (KOVR), Pittsburgh (KDKA) and Baltimore (WJZ).
Weigel will be responsible for securing affiliation agreements with other stations across the country.& & & &&

DWhat is a good education? The question is far from being answered. Once more, colleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop "fun courses" and restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽视) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time. Obviously the purely vocational training once favored is not enough. But neither is the gentleman's education of the nineteenth century. Educational programs must meet the demands of a modern world where men and women have to work and to deal with big problems. What, then, is a good education of this century? Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study a mastery of English, including the ability to write and speak well, because communications have become all-important in the modern world, and also because "a person who doesn't speak and write clearly doesn't reason clearly either"; some knowledge of the social sciences (sociology, psychology) that deal with human relation some basic knowledge of modern science, which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear. Finally, many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines. Is that all? "No, of course not." answer the educators. "We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education: history and literature!" 71．The best title for this passage might be _______.&&&&&&&&&&&& A．Education&&&&&&&&&& B．A Mastery of English C．A Good Education&& D．Something About Study72．The underlined word "drop" in the first paragraph means _______. A．desert&&&&&& B．dislike&&&&& C．decline&&&& D．neglect73．The author thinks that the question about what a good education is _______.& A．has been answered fairly well&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．hasn't been put forward yet C．has been dealt with successfully&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D．has not been answered satisfactorily74．Some educational experts believe a mastery of English should include the ability _______. A．to read fast&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．to write and speak well C．to write clearly and accurately&&& D．to listen and speak skillfully&&&&&&&&&75．Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?&&&&&& A．Educational programs must meet the demand of a modern world.B．The students will not get a degree unless they take a number of classes in English, history,
literature, the social sciences, philosophy, the natural sciences and art. C．A good education should include foreign language and the study of foreign culture. D．Every student ought to take part in military training.

It was a cold grey day in late November. The weather had changed overnight, when a backing wind brought a pale sky and a muzzling rain with it, and although it was now only a little after two o’clock in the afternoon the gray of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills, surrounding them in mist. It would be dark by four. The leather seats felt damp to the hands, and there must have been a small crack in the roof, because now and again little drips of rain fell softly through, polluting the leather and leaving a dark – blue stain like a spot of ink. The wind came in, at times shaking the coach as it traveled round the bend of the road, and in the exposed places on the high ground it blew with such force that the whole body of the coach trembled and swayed, rocking between the high wheels like a drunken man.The driver, muffled （裹住） in a greatcoat to his ears, bent almost double in his seat in a faint endeavor to gain shelter from his own shoulders. The few passengers pressed together for warmth, exclaiming all together when the coach sank into a heavier rut （车辙） than usual, and one old fellow, who had kept up a constant complaint ever since he had joined the coach at Truro, rose fr and, feeling with the window – frame, let the window down with a crash, bringing a shower of rain upon himself and his fellow – passengers. He thrust his head out and shouted up to the driver, scolding him in a angry voice for a
that they would all be dead before they reached Bodmin if he persisted in drivin they had no breath left in their bodies as it was, and he would never travel by coach again.41．What is the main image the author gives in this description? A．In terrible weather, a coach was running fast in mud with complaining passengers on it. B．On a cold and rainy day the coach broke and the driver was repairing it on the road. C．On a cold night the driver and the passengers felt very cold and struggled in the rain. D．The bad condition of the road resulted in the bad mood of the passengers.42．Which of the following is correct according to the text? A．The windows were tightly closed, so the cold air was kept outside the coach. B．The spot of ink stained leather, so the seats felt damp to the hands. C．Most probably the roof of the coach was broken. D．There was a drunken man swaying constantly on the coach.43．The expression “muffled in a greatcoat to… his own shoulders” implies &&&&&&&&. A．the driver felt very cold and tried to change his seat B．the driver felt comfortable by doing in that way C．The driver felt very cold and tried to gain warmth D．The driver tried to protect his ears and shoulders44．We can learn from the text that &&&&&&&&. A．the coach was running slowly due to the bad weather B．an old passenger who got on the coach at Truro was angry about the windows C．one of the passengers on the coach was a murderer D．the few passengers let out exclamations as the coach moved violently

The questions of what children learn, and how they should learn it, is continually being debated and reheated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the parrot – fashion (way of learning by repeating what others say) of learning lessons, the grammar with a whip system，which was good enough for our grandparents．The theories of modern psychology have stepped into argue that we must understand the needs of children．Children are not just small adults；they are children who must be respected as such．Well，you may say，this is as it should be，and a good idea．But think further．What happens?‘Education’ becomes the responsibility not of teachers, but of psychologists．What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications of their lessons，and forget about the subjects themselves．If a child dislikes a lesson，the teacher feels that it is his fault，not the child’s. So teachers worry whether history is ‘relevant’ to modem young children．And do they dare to recount stories about violent battles? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races，or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teach children to write grammatical sentences? Verbal expression is better．Sums? Arithmetic? No：real—life mathematical situations are more understandable． You see．you can go too far．Influenced by educational theorists，who have nothing better to do than write books about their ideas，teachers leave their teacher—training colleges filled with grand，psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make complicated preparations and try out their ‘modern methods’ on the long – suffering children. Since one ‘modern method’ rapidly replaces another, the poor kids will have well been fed up by the time they leave school. frequently the modern methods are so complicated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, le even more often, the relaxed discipline so necessary for the ‘informal’ feeling the class must have, prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.63．Under the old system, children were &&&&&&&&&&. A．made to learn passively&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．good enough to their grandparents C．made to learn actively&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D．understood and respected by teachers64．What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychological implications during a lesson? A．They find that children dislike the lessons. B．They worry too much about history, stories, racial hatred, grammar and arithmetic. C．They don’t pay enough attention to what students are learning. D．They tend to blame students for their failure in teaching.65．How do you understand the underlined sentence at the end of the passage? A．Children will learn well in a relaxed classroom atmosphere. B．Few children will actually learn when there is no discipline. C．Relaxed discipline is necessary for children to develop. D．No children will learn anything without strict discipline.66．What is the author’s attitude toward the theories of modern psychology? A．Indifferent (不关心的).&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．Tolerant (容忍的). C．Supportive (支持的).&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D．Critical (批评的).

EThe earth is getting warmer. The planet is suffering. But what can you do about it? Reduce the amount of waste you generate. Use cleaner energy sources and go greener today, starting with these steps:1. Get a reusable water bottleAmericans buy about 25 billion single-serving plastic water bottles each year. That's an average of 83 bottles per person per year. Plastic bottles take plenty of resources to produce, including fuel for transportation and petroleum to make the plastic. Even recycling bottles uses energy.2. Eat less meatYou don't need to become a vegetarian to help save the planet. Eating meat just one day less a week can reduce your negative impact on the environment. More water, energy and land are required to produce meat than to produce grain.3. Switch to energy-efficient light bulbsMost households use standard incandescent (白炽的) bulbs. But compact fluorescent (荧光的) light bulbs, or CFLs, use 66 percent less energy than standard bulbs, produce just as much light, last up to 10 times longer and don't need to be replaced as often. If every household in the United States replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a CFL bulb, it would equal removing one million cars from the road.4. Buy organic and local foodDid you know that only 1 percent of pesticides (杀虫剂) applied to crops reach the pests they target? The rest enter the environment. Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides. Organic farming can use 50 percent less energy than traditional farming methods. Buying local food saves on the fuel used to transport food grown elsewhere, thousands of miles across the country or around the world.5. Recycle your electronicsEveryone knows the importance of recycling glass and plastic, but what about cell phones, computers, CDs and batteries? Electronics are responsible for about 40 percent of toxic (有毒的) heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Check with your city's recycling facilities to see if they take electronics.72. The readers of this passage are called on to ______.A. help reduce global warming&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. use water in a wise way&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C. donate money for charity&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. keep a balanced diet73. What is an advantage of CFLs according to the passage?A. They use more energy but produce more light.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. They can last longer so don't need to be replaced often.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&C. They cost less than standard incandescent bulbs.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. They are as energy-efficient as incandescent bulbs.74. Which of the following figures is correct according to the passage?A. Every year an American buys 63 plastic water bottles on average.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. Eating meat one day less a week helps cut environment costs.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& C. 99 of the pesticides used on crops is effective in practice.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D. Electronics account for half of poisonous heavy metals on the earth.75. Which can be the best title for this passage?A. Why is the earth getting warmer?&&&&&&&&&& B. What can we do about pollution?&&&&&&&&&&&&& C. How can you lead a greener life?&&&&&&&&& D. Who is to blame for global warming?

（B）People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed．It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive．Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of questions．They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors．There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed．As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from one another, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory．The controversy is often referred to as “nature/nurture”．Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors．That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory．Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts．Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act．A behaviorist, B．F．Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings．The behaviorists’ view of the human being
