Section A 選詞填空
When Elon Musk says that his new priority is using artificial intelligence to build domestic robots, we should look forward to the day in admiration
Mr. Musk is a guy who gets things done. The founder of two tech companies, Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is bringing electric vehicles to mass market and __26__ humans to live on other planets. This sounds like so much hot air, but the near $13 billion fortune this entrepreneur has __27__ comes from practical achievements rather than hypothetical ones.
A lot of clever people are __28__ about artificial intelligence, fearing that robots will one day become so __29__ that theyll murder all of us. These fears are mostly __30__: as with hysteria about genetic modification, we humans are generally wise enough to manage these problems with speed and care.
And just think of how wonderful it would be if you had a live-in robot. It could, __31__ , be like having a babysitter and a nurse rolled into one-or, if that required __32__ intelligence beyond the power of Mr. Musks imagined machine, at least someone to chop the carrots, wash the car and mow the lawn. Once purchased and trained, this would allow the __33__ user to save money and time, freeing up __34__ space in our busy lives to read a good book.
That is why we welcome Mr. Musks latest __35__ , and wish him well. As long as robots add to the sum of human happiness, reduce suffering, and create time to read world-class journalism, we should be their fans. Especially since journalism is one job robots will never do.

Section B 段落匹配
In the real world, nobody cares that you went to an Ivy League school
[A]As a high school junior, everything in my life revolved around getting into the right college. I diligently attended my SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement test preparation courses. I juggled (晝力應(yīng)付) cross-country and track schedules, newspaper staff, and my churchs youth group and drama team. I didnt drink, party, or even do much dating. The right college, I thought, was one with prestige, one with a name. It didnt have to be the Ivy League, but it needed to be a "top school."
[B]Looking back now, nine years later, I cant remember exactly what it was about these universities that made them seem so much better. Was it a curriculum that appeared more rigorous, perhaps? Or an alumni network that I hoped would open doors down the line? Maybe. "I do think there are advantages to schools with more recognition," notes Marybeth Gasman, a professor of higher education at the University of Pennsylvania. "I dont necessarily think thats a reason to go to one."
[C]In reflection, my firm belief in the power of the brand was naive, not to mention a bit snobby. I quickly passed over state schools and southern schools, believing their curriculums to be automatically inferior to northeastern or western counterparts. Instead, I dreamed of living in New York City and my parents obliged me with a visit to New York Universitys (NYU) campus. During the tour, tuition fees were discussed. (NYU is consistently ranked one of the countrys most expensive schools, with room and board costs totaling upwards of $ 64,000 a year.) Up until then, I hadnt truly realized just how expensive an education can be. Over the next few months, I realized not only could I not afford my dream school, I couldnt even afford the ones where Id been accepted. City University of New York (CUNY), Rutgers University, and Indiana University were out of reach as were Mississippi State and the University of Alabama, where I would have to pay out-of-state fees. Further complicating my college search was a flourishing track career-I wanted to keep running but my times werent quite fast enough to secure a scholarship.
[D]And so, at 11 pm on the night of Georgia State Universitys (GSU) midnight deadline, I applied online. Rated No. 466 overall on Forbes Lists Top Colleges, No. 183 in Research Universities, and No. 108 in the South, I cant say it was my top choice. Still, the track coach had offered me a walk-on spot, and I actually found the urban Atlanta campus a decent consolation prize after New York City.
[E]While it may have been practical, it wasnt prestigious. But heres the thing: I loved my "lower-tier" (低層次的) university. (I use the term "low-tier" cautiously, because GSU is a well-regarded research institution that attracts high quality professors and faculty from all over the country.) We are taught to believe that only by going to the best schools and getting the best grades can we escape the rat race and build a better future. But what if lower-tier colleges and universities were the ticket to escaping the rat race? After all, where else can you leave school with a decent degree-but without a lifetime of debt?
[F]My school didnt come prepackaged like the more popular options, so we were left to take care of ourselves, figuring out city life and trying to complete degree programs that no one was championing for us to succeed in. What Im saying is, I loved my university because it taught us all to be resourceful and we could make what we wanted out of it.
[G]I was lucky enough to have my tuition covered by a lottery-funded scholarship called HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally). When I started college, the HOPE scholarship was funded by the state of Georgia and offered to graduating high school seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. Living costs and books I paid for with money earned during high school, supplemented by a small college fund my deceased grandfather left for me and a modest savings account my parents created when I was born.
[H]So what about all that name recognition? Sure, many of my colleagues and competitors have more glamorous alma maters (母校) than I do. As a journalist, I have competed against NYU, Columbia, and Northeastern graduates for jobs. And yet, not a single interviewer has ever asked me about my educational background. In fact, almost every interview Ive ever had was due to a connection-one that Ive gained through pure determination, not a school brand.
[I]According to The Boston Globe, students who earned their bachelors in 2012 have an average monthly loan payment of $ 312, which is one-third more than those who graduated in 2004. Ultimately, thats the thing universities dont want to admit. Private universities are money-making institutions. If you can afford to buy prestige, thats your choice. For the rest of us, however, our hearty lower-tiered universities are just fine, thank you.
[J]Wealthy universities talk up the benefits their name will give graduates: namely, strong alumni networks, star faculty, and a résumé boost. But you neednt attend an Ivy League school to reap those rewards. Ludacris and the former CEO of Bank of America Ken Lewis are alumni of my college, as well as VICEs first female editor-in-chief, Ellis Jones. Successful people tend to be successful no matter where they go to school, and lower-tier schools can have alumni networks just as strong as their big name counterparts. In fact, lower-tier school alumni networks are arguably stronger, because fellow alumni recognize that you didnt necessarily have an easy path to follow. They might be more willing to offer career help, because your less famous school denotes that, like them, you are also full of energy and perseverance.
[K]The Washington Post reported on a recent study by Princeton economists, in which college graduates who applied to the most selective schools in the 12th grade were compared to those who applied to slightly less selective schools. They found that students with more potential earned more as adults, and the reverse held true as well, no matter where they went to school.
[L]Likewise, star faculty are not always found where youd expect. Big name schools are not necessarily the best places for professors; plus, many professors split teaching time between multiple colleges and/or universities. This means, for instance, a CUNY student could reasonably expect to receive the same quality of instruction from a prestigious professor as they would if they were enrolled in the same class at NYU.
[M]Its possible that some hiring managers may be drawn to candidates with a particular educational résumé, but its no guarantee. According to a 2012 survey described in The Atlantic, college reputation ranked lowest in relative importance of attributes in evaluating graduates for hire, beaten out by top factors like internships, employment during college, college major, volunteer experience, and extracurriculars.
[N]Maybe students who choose less prestigious universities are bound to succeed because they are determined to. I tend to think so. In any case, if I could do it again, Id still make the same choice. Today Im debt-free, resourceful-and I understand that even the shiniest packaging cant predict what youll find on the inside.

Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
Economically speaking, are we better off than we were ten years ago? Twenty years ago?
In their thirst for evidence on this issue, commentators seized on the recent report by the Census Bureau, which found that average household income rose by 5.2% in 2015. Unfortunately, that conclusion puts too much weight on a useful, but flawed and incomplete, statistic. Among the more significant problems with the Censuss measure are that: 1) it excludes taxes, transfers, and compensation like employer-provided health insurance; and 2) it is based on surveys rather than data. Even if precisely measured, income data exclude important determinants of economic well-being, such as the hours of work needed to earn that income.
While thinking about the question, we came across a recently published article by Charles Jones and Peter Klenow, which proposes an interesting new measure of economic welfare. While by no means perfect, it is considerably more comprehensive than average income, taking into account not only growth in consumption per person but also changes in working time, life expectancy, and inequality. Moreover, it can be used to assess economic performance both across countries and over time.
The Jones-Klenow method can be illustrated by a cross-country example. Suppose we want to compare the economic welfare of citizens of the U.S. and France in 2005.
In 2005, as the authors observe: real consumption per person in France was only 60% as high as the U.S., making it appear that Americans were economically much better off than the French on average. However, that comparison omits other relevant factors: leisure time, life expectancy, and economic inequality. The French take longer vacations and retire earlier, so typically work fewer hours; they enjoy a higher life expectancy, presumably reflecting advantages with respect to health care, diet, lifestyle, and the like; and income and consumption are somewhat more equally distributed there than in the U.S. Because of these differences, comparing Frances consumption with the U.S.s overstates the gap in economic welfare.
Similar calculations can be used to compare the U.S. and other countries. For example, this calculation puts economic welfare in the United Kingdom at 97% of U.S. levels, but estimates Mexican well-being at 22%.
The Jones-Klenow measure can also assess an economys performance over time. According to this measure, as of the early-to-mid-2000s, the U.S. had the highest economic welfare of any large country. Since 2007, economic welfare in the U.S. has continued to improve. However, the pace of improvement has slowed markedly.
Methodologically, the lesson from the Jones-Klenow research is that economic welfare is multi-dimensional. Their approach is flexible enough that in principle other important quality-of-life changes could be incorporated-for example, decreases in total emissions of pollutants and declines in crime rates.
46.What does the author think of the 2015 report by the Census Bureau?
A.It is based on questionable statistics.
B.It reflects the economic changes.
C.It evidences the improved-welfare.
D.It provides much food for thought.
47.What does the author say about the Jones-Klenow method?
A.It is widely used to compare the economic growth across countries.
B.It revolutionizes the way of measuring ordinary peoples livelihood.
C.It focuses on peoples consumption rather than their average income.
D.It is a more comprehensive measure of peoples economic well-being.
48.What do Jones and Klenow think of the comparison between France and the U. S. in terms of real consumption per person?
A.It reflected the existing big gap between the two economies.
B.It neglected many important indicators of peoples welfare.
C.It covered up the differences between individual citizens.
D.It failed to count in their difference in natural resources.
49.What is an advantage of the Jones-Klenow method?
A.It can accurately pinpoint a countrys current economic problems.
B.It can help to raise peoples awareness of their economic well-being.
C.It can diagnose the causes of a countrys slowing pace of economic improvement.
D.It can compare a countrys economic conditions between different periods of time.
50.What can we infer from the passage about American peoples economic well-being?
A.It is much better than that of their European counterparts.
B.It has been on the decline ever since the turn of the century.
C.It has not improved as much as reported by the Census Bureau.
D.It has not been accurately assessed and reported since mid-2000s.
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
If youve ever started a sentence with, "If I were you...." or found yourself scratching your head at a colleagues agony over a decision when the answer is crystal-clear, theres a scientific reason behind it. Our own decision-making abilities can become depleted over the course of the day causing indecision or poor choices, but choosing on behalf of someone else is an enjoyable task that doesnt suffer the same pitfalls.
The problem is "decision fatigue," a psychological phenomenon that takes a toll on the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics to patients when its unwise to do so. "Presumably its because its simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further," Polman says.
But decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. "By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue," he says. "Its as if theres something fun and liberating about making someone elses choice."
Getting input from others not only offers a fresh perspective and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good, says Polman. "When people experience decision fatigue-when they are tired of making choices-they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (現(xiàn)狀)," he says. "But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome."
In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. "People who are susceptible to decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something," he says, "Thats not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action9whereas decision fatigue assuredly leads to inaction and the possible chagrin (懊惱) of a decision maker who might otherwise prefera new course but is unfortunately hindered."
Just because you can make good choices for others doesnt mean youll do the same for yourself, Polman cautions. "Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves," he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles.
51.What does the author say about people making decisions?
A.They may become exhausted by making too many decisions for themselves.
B.They are more cautious in making decisions for others than for themselves.
C.They tend to make decisions the way they think advantageous to them.
D.They show considerable differences in their decision-making abilities.
52.What does the example about the physicians illustrate?
A.Patients seldom receive due care towards the end of the day.
B.Prescription of antibiotics can be harmful to patients health.
C.Decision fatigue may prevent people making wise decisions.
D.Medical doctors are especially susceptible to decision fatigue.
53.When do people feel less decision fatigue?
A.When they take decision shortcuts.
B.When they help others to make decisions.
C.When they have major decisions to make.
D.When they have advisers to turn to.
54.What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in?
A.They turn to physicians for advice.
B.They tend to make risky decisions.
C.They adopt a totally new perspective.
D.They refrain from trying anything new.
55.What does the passage say about taking some risk in decision making?
A.It is vital for one to reach the goal desired.
B.It is likely to entail serious consequences.
C.It will enable people to be more creative.
D.It will more often than not end in regret.

The Importance of Building Trust Between Businesses and Consumers
Today, in the context of this era featured by increasing commercialization and digitalization, mutually-trusted relations between businesses and consumers appear to be particularly important.
As for me businesses should take a leading role in establishing the trust relationship: to be honest with their consumers.Firstly, if a business has a dishonest attitude toward its customers, the customers will lack purchasing confidence in its goods or services, which will bring huge economic loss to the business. Whats worse, the adverse side effect of such dishonesty can endanger the business and it is impossible to recover. The collapse of Sanlu Milk Powder Company is a testament to this. Moreover, the incident of poisonous milk has exerted devastating consequences on the whole milk powder market. Besides, because of the proliferation of counterfeit goods, more consumers lose confidence in domestic products,and then they have no alternative but to resort to foreign brands, which is one reason why cross-border online shopping is gaining more and more popularity in China.
Therefore, it is high time for us to strengthen the importance of maintaining trust between businesses and consumers to promote the healthy development of the whole social economy.

Bicycle used to be the leading means of transportation in Chinas cities and villages, and China was once called "the Kingdom of Bicycles". Nowadays, with traffic congestion and air pollution becoming more and more serious in cities, riding a bicycle is becoming popular again. Recently, Chinas entrepreneurs have combined mobile Internet technologies with bicycles and invented the business model of bike-sharing. The appearance of shared bikes has made it more convenient for people to get around, and people can ride bikes at any time only with the help of a mobile phone. To encourage people to travel by bike, many cities have built bike lanes. Now, more and more Chinese people like exercising by riding bikes.
