G)
There's
been
little
research
on
the
topic,
Steinberg
wrote
in
a
law
article
about
this
issue.
While states could pass laws related to sharing information about children online, Steinberg feels
parents themselves are generally best suited to make these decisions for their families.

to

we

Steinberg
says.
They

Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A),
B),
C)
and
D).
You
should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a
single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Perhaps it is time for farmers to put their feet up now that robots are used to inspect crops, dig
up weeds, and even have become shepherds, too. Commercial growing fields are astronomically
huge and take thousands of man
-
hours to operate. One prime example is one of Australia's most
isolated cattle stations, Suplejack Downs in the Northern Territory, extending across 4,000 square
kilometers, taking over 13 hours to reach by car from the nearest major town—Alice Springs.
The extreme isolation of these massive farms leaves them often unattended, and monitored only
once or twice a year, which means if the livestock falls ill or requires assistance, it can be a long
time for farmers to discover.
However, robots are coming to the rescue.
Robots are currently under a two
-
year trial in Wales which will train 'farmbots' to herd, monitor
the health of livestock, and make sure there is enough pasture for them to graze on. The robots
are equipped with many sensors to identify conditions of the environment, cattle and food, using
thermal and vision sensors that detect changes in body temperature.

Future
farms
will

a
greater deal of autonomy as robots take up more and more farm work efficiently.
46. What may farmers be able to do with robots appearing on the farming scene?
A) Upgrade farm produce.
B) Enjoy more leisure hours.
C) Modify the genes of crops.
D) Cut down farming costs.
47. What will 'farmbots' be expected to do?
A) Take up many of the farmers, routines.
B) Provide medical treatments for livestock.
C) Lead the trend in farming the world over.
D) Improve the quality of pastures for grazing.
48. What can robots do when equipped with high
-
tech sensors and complex learning algorithms?
A) Help farmers choose the most efficient and safest passages.
B) Help farmers simplify their farming tasks and management.
C) Allow farmers to learn instantly what is occurring on the farm.
D) Allow farmers to give them real
-
time instructions on what to do.
49. Why are farmers pressing for robotic farming?
A) Farming costs are fast increasing.
B) Robotics technology is maturing.
C) Robotic fanning is the trend.
D) Labor shortage is worsening.
50. What does the author think future farms will be like?
A) More and more automated.
B) More and more productive.
C) Larger and larger in scale.
D) Better and better in condition.
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
The public must be able to understand the basics of science to make informed decisions. Perhaps
the
most
dramatic
example
of
the
negative
consequences
of
poor
communication
between
scientists and the public is the issue of climate change, where a variety of factors, not the least of
which is a breakdown in the transmission of fundamental climate data to the general public, has
contributed to widespread mistrust and misunderstanding of scientists and their research.
The
issue
of
climate
change
also
illustrates
how
the
public
acceptance
and
understanding
of
science (or the lack of it) can influence governmental decision
-
making with regard to regulation,
science policy and research funding.
However, the importance of effective communication with a general audience is not limited to
hot issues like climate change. It is also critical for socially charged neuroscience issues such as
the
genetic
basis
for
a
particular
behavior,
the
therapeutic
potential
of
stem
cell
therapy
for
neurodegenerative diseases, or the use of animal models, areas where the public understanding
of
science
can
also
influence
policy
and
funding
decisions.
Furthermore,
with
continuing
advances
in
individual
genome
(
基因组
)
sequencing
and
the
advent
of
personalized
medicine,
more non
-
scientists will need to be comfortable analyzing complex scientific information to make
decisions that directly affect their quality of life.
Science journalism is the main channel for the popularization of scientific information among the
public. Much has been written about how the relationship between scientists and the media can
shape the efficient transmission of scientific advances to the public. Good science journalists are
specialists in making complex topics accessible to a general audience, while adhering to scientific
accuracy.
Unfortunately,
pieces
of
science
journalism
can
also
oversimplify
and
generalize
their
subject
material
to
the
point
that
the
basic
information
conveyed
is
obscured
or
at
worst,
obviously
wrong. The impact of a basic discovery on human health can be exaggerated so that the public
thinks a miraculous cure is a few months to years away when in reality the significance of the
study is far more limited.
Even
though
scientists
play
a
part
in
transmitting
information
to
journalists
and
ultimately
the
public, too often the blame for ineffective communication is placed on the side of the journalists.
We believe, that at least part of the problem lies in places other than the interaction between
scientists and members of the media, and exists because for one thing we underestimate how
difficult
it
is
for
scientists
to
communicate
effectively
with
a
diversity
of
audiences,
and
for
another most scientists do not receive formal training in science communication.
51. What does the example of climate change serve to show?
A) The importance of climate data is increasingly recognized.
B) Adequate government funding is vital to scientific research.
C) Government regulation helps the public understand science.
D) Common folks' scientific knowledge can sway policy making.
52. What should non
-
scientists do to ensure their quality of life?
A) Seek personalized medical assistance from doctors.
B) Acquire a basic understanding of medical science.
C) Have their individual genome sequenced.
D) Make informed use of animal models.
53. Why is it important for scientists to build a good relationship with the media?
A) It helps them to effectively popularize new scientific information.
B) It enables the public to develop a positive attitude toward science.
C) It helps them to establish a more positive public image.
D) It enables them to apply their findings to public health.
54. What does the author say is the problem with science journalism?
A) It is keen on transmitting sensational information.
B) It tends to oversimplify people's health problems.
C) It may give inaccurate or distorted information to the public.
D) It may provide information open to different interpretations.
55. What should scientists do to impart their latest findings to the public more effectively?
A) Give training to science journalists.
B) Stimulate public interest in science.
C) Seek timely assistance from the media.
D) Improve their communication skills.

Part Ⅰ Writing
How to Balance Work and Leisure
Just as the old saying goes,
importance and necessity of keeping a balance between work and leisure. However, in today's
fast
-
paced
work
culture,
it's
difficult
for
most
people
to
successfully
maintain
a
good
balance
between the two.
As
for
me,
some
tips
can
contribute
to
achieving
the
balance.
First
of
all,
you
should
develop
efficient
working
habits,
because
only
in
this
way
can
you
squeeze
out
some
leisure
time.
It
requires you to devote your full attention to the task at hand and complete daily work efficiently.
Second,
in
order
to
relieve the
fatigue
and
stress,
it's
vital
to
schedule
one
thing
that
you
are
interested
in
each
day
and
set
aside
some
time
for
relaxation.
Last
but
not
least,
for
those
workaholics, please keep in mind that if you work hard, you shouldn't feel guilty when you spend
time on personal leisure, for entertainment is also a part of life.
To
conclude,
work
and
leisure
complement
each
other,
so
when
you
get
tired
and
bored
with
your daily grind, try to take some time off work to relax yourself.

Part IV Translation
In recent years, more and more museums in China have been open to the public free of charge.
The number of museum exhibitions and visitors to the museum has seen an obvious increase. It
has
become
very
common
to
see
that
people
stand
in
long
queues
in
front
of
some
widely
popular
museums.
Therefore,
these
museums
must
take
measures
to
restrict
the
number
of
visitors. Nowadays, the forms of exhibitions become increasingly diverse. Some large museums
use advanced technologies such as multimedia and virtual reality to make their exhibitions more
attractive. Quite a few museums also hold online exhibitions where people can enjoy the sight of
rare and precious exhibits. However, the experience of viewing the exhibits on site is still more
appealing to most visitors.

Did Sarah Josepha Hale write
儿歌
) about a girl
named Mary
with
a
stubborn
lamb? This
is
still
disputed,
but
it's
clear
that
the
woman
26
for
writing it was one of America's most fascinating 27 . In honor of the poem's publication on May
24, 1830, here's more about the 28 author's life.
Hale wasn't just a writer, she was also a 29 social advocate, and she was particularly 30 with an
ideal New England, which she associated with abundant Thanksgiving meals that she claimed had
would
bring
families
together
while
celebrating
the
32
festivals.
In
1863,
after
17
years
of
advocacy including letters to five presidents, Hale got it. President Abraham Lincoln, during the
Civil War, issued a 33 setting aside the last Thursday in November for the holiday.
The true authorship of
Society, Hale wrote only part of the poem, but claimed authorship. Regardless of the author, it
seems that the poem was 34 by a real event. When young Mary Sawyer was followed to school
by a lamb in 1816, it caused some problems. A bystander named John Roulstone wrote a poem
about the event, then, at some point, Hale herself seems to have helped write it. However, if a
1916
piece
by
her
great
-
niece
is
to
be
trusted,
Hale
claimed
for
the
35
of
her
life
that
other people pretended that someone else wrote the poem
A)
campaign
B)
career
C)
characters
D)
features
E)
fierce
F)
inspired
G)
latter
H)
obsessed
I)
proclamation J) rectified K) reputed L) rest M) supposed N) traditional O) versatile
