2. 根据下列材料，请回答61-56题：
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Recently the Barbican museum in London held an exhibition called the Rain Room. During the time this exhibition was open, my Twitter stream was filled with photos of people standing in the Rain Room, accompanied by the caption(标题) “Rain Room @ The Barbican!” and a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the Rain Room.
This got me thinking. What were people actually saying by Tweeting about their visit? I think all they were doing was meeting the obligation that we have to share. Not sharing in the sense of treasuring a moment with people close to us, but sharing in the sense of "notify the world that I am doing a thing". It's not sharing; it's showing off. When we log in to Facebook or Twitter we see an infinitely updating tream of people enjoying themselves. It's not real life, because people only post about the good things whereas all the dull or deep stuff doesn't get mentioned. But despite this obvious fact, it subconsciously makes us feel like everyone is having a better time than us.
This is the curse of our age. We walk around with the tools to capture extensive data about our surroundings and transmit them in real-time to every acquaintance we've made. We end "up with adimin is hed perception of reality because we're more concerned about choosing a good Instagram filter for our meal than how it tastes.
I don't that that it's inherently wrong to want to keep the world updated about what you're doing. But when you go through life robotically posting about everything you do, you're not a human being. You're just a prism(棱镜) that takes bits of light and sound and channels them into the Cloud.
The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you're detracting (转移) from them because all your efforts are focused on making them look attractive too they people. Once you stop seeing things through the eyes of the people following you on Twitter or Facebook or instagram, you can make your experiences significant, because you were there and you saw the sights and smelled the smells and heard the sounds, not because, you snapped a photo of it through a half-inch camera lens.


What do we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A．Rain Room exhibition received a large audience in London.
B．Most of people feel obligated to share their experience with Mends.
C．Many people want to notify others of their experience by Tweeting.
D．All people having gone to the Rain Room took pictures.

3. Questions56-37 are based on the following passage.
        A newstudy shows a large gender gap on economic policy among the nation's professional economists,a divide similar to the gender divide found in the general public.
        "Asa group, we are pro-market," says Ann Marl May, co-author of the study anda University of Nebraska economist. "But women are more likely to acceptgovernment regulation and involvement in economic activity than our malecolleagues. "
        "It'svery puzzling," says free market economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. "Not a .day goes by that Idon't ask myself why there are so few women economists on the free market side."
        A nativeof France, de Rugy supported government intervention (干预) early in her life butchanged her mind after studying economics. "We want many of the samethings as liberals--less poverty, more health care--but have radicallydifferent ideas on how to achieve it. "
        IAberaleconomist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic Policy andResearch, says male economists have been on the inside of the profession,confirming each other's antiregulation views. Women, as outsiders, "aremore likely to think independently or at least see people outside of theeconomics profession as forming their peer group," he says.
        Thegender balance in economics is changing. One-third of economics doctorates (博士学位) now go to women."More diversity is needed at the table when pubflc policy isdiscussed," May says.
        Economistsdo agree on some things. Female economists agree with men that Europe has toomuch regulation and that Wal-mart is good for society. Male economists agreewith their, female colleagues that military spending is too high.
        Thegenders are most divorced from each other on the question of equality forwomen. Male economists overwhelmingly think the wage gap between men and womenis largely the result of indi~fluals' skills, experience and voluntary choices.Female economists overwhelmingly disagree by a margin of 4-to-1.
        Thebiggest disagreement: 76% of women say faculty opportunities in economics favormen. Male economists point the opposite way: 80% say women are favored or theprocess is neutral.

What is the finding of the new study?
A．The gender divide is a big concern of the general public.
B．Men and women understand economics quite differently.
C．The gap between male and female economists needs to be closed.
D．Male and female economists disagree widely on economic policy,

Direction: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard.

Since the dawn of history, men have gathered information and have attempted to pass it on to other men. The carving of word and pictures on the walls of 26 caves represents some of man’s earliest effort to 27 information. Evidently, these efforts were very simple and 28 .
But as civilization grew more complex, better methods of communication were needed. The written word, carrier pigeons, the telegraph and many other 29 carried ideas faster and faster from man to man but still not fast enough to 30 ever growing needs. In recent years, as men entered the information era, a new type of machine, the electronic computer, has 31 and has become 32 important in the lives of all people. With the 33 and development of computers, it is as if man has suddenly come upon Alading’s magic lamp.
Generally speaking, the basic job of computers is the processing of information. For this reason, computers can be 34 as devices which accept information, perform mathematical or logical operations with the input information, and then supply the results of these operations as new information.
Computers can work through a series of problems and make thousands of logical decisions without ever becoming tired. However, although computers can replace men in dull, routine tasks, they only work according to the instructions given them, in other words, they have to be programmed. Their achievements are not very impressive when 35 to what the minds of men can do.
