I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)?
Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book—it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises—and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role –as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student— in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.
4. Why did the author skip school on that day?
A. Because her parents left home early.
B. Because it was a cold winter morning.
C. Because she was fascinated by a novel.
D. Because she hated to take the biology exam.
5. What did the author think is the source of true joy?
A. Reading by the fire. B. Travelling in Spain.
C. Breaking the regulations. D. Being occupied by one’s passion.
6. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph?
A. Entering. B. Destroying.
C. Mending. D. Blocking.
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. I was tired of my real-life roles.
B. I learnt how to write on the internet.
C. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot.
D. Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】

【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“ I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption.” 我可以看到一些微妙的事情出现在我的头脑和我的生活中，而我正处于吸收它的状态中。以及下文“I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate.” 我下载的信息是关于如何创建简单优雅的句子，一个良好而坚实的情节。换句话说，我在学习如何写作。没有意识到，我在追寻自己的命运。由上下文内容可以推断出“海明威的语言风格在潜移默化之中影响了我对语言的感悟”，可知“Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination.”即海明威的语言风格进入（enter）我的想象中，即影响了我，故选A 项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write” 海明威的语言悄悄地编织在我的想象中。我下载的信息是关于如何写出简单优雅的句子，一个良好而坚实的情节。换句话说，我在学习如何写作。，可推断出海明威的风格对我影响很大。故选C。

In a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack, and here millions of people are victims of identity theft every year, the next step in cybersecurity may well be mapping your brain.
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York are working on a biometric system that records how your brain reacts to certain images. With a little more polishing, the scientists’ brainchild could become the way you get into a safe deposit box, your office or past scanners at the airport. It could replace the password for your online banking, your email or your social media accounts.
The started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjects, The subjects were fitted with a cap that had 30 electrodes attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols—celebrity faces, words, pictures of food—on a computer screen in 200- millisecond bursts. The brain's reaction was recorded.
The idea is that every time a person needs to use a “password”, he or she goes through the same procedure, and the results are matched with their first-time reaction. If the “brainprint”' is compromised—like what happened with the fingerprint records—then the system is merely reset by running another set of images and collecting a different set of brain waves. “Even if that was stolen, you could just cancel it and record one to something else”, says professor Laszlo.
Laszlo and her team have shown that their system can be 100 percent accurate. So one of the more difficult parts of making the system practical already has been overcome. Now they're spending much time recording accurate brainprints with as few as three electrodes, which could make recording in the future as easy as wearing a pair of special glasses. They're also working with cheaper material and methods to see if they can bring the cost down.
8. What does the underlined word “brainchild” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The brain function. B. The fingerprint record.
C. The biometric system. D. The online password.
9. Why were the images and symbols shown to the subjects?
A. To create their brainprints. B. To check the brain's reaction.
C. To match brainprints with pictures. D. To connect brain waves to electrodes.
10. What are the researchers doing with the program now?
A. Making it user-friendly. B. Improving its accuracy.
C. Recording more brainprints. D. Increasing the number of electrodes.
11. Which's the best the title of this passage?
A. Brain waves—the necessity of passwords B. Biometric systerm—the hope of cybersecurity
C. Brainprint—the future of passwords D. Fingerpint—the challenge of cybersecurity
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. C

The brain’s reaction was recorded.可知受试者戴上一个有30个电极的帽子，然后在电脑屏幕上以20毫秒的速度显示出各种各样的图像和符号——名人的脸、文字、食物的图片。大脑的反应被记录下来。由此可知，图像和符号被展示给受试者，是为了创造他们的脑印。故选 A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Now, they're spending much time recording accurate brainprints with as few as three electrodes, which could make recording in the future as easy as wearing a pair of special glasses. They're also working with cheaper materials and different methods to see if they can bring the cost down.可知现在，他们只需要三个电极就可以记录下精确的脑印，这使得在未来记录起来就像戴上一副特殊的眼镜一样简单。他们也在使用更便宜的材料和不同的方法，看看是否能降低成本。可知现在，研究人员正在使这个程序更容易使用。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段In a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack, and here millions of people are victims of identity theft every year, the next step in cybersecurity may well be mapping your brain.可知当今世界，在一次电脑黑客攻击中，近600万政府雇员的指纹记录被窃取，每年有数百万人成为身份盗窃的受害者，网络安全的下一步很可能就是绘制你的大脑图谱。结合文章主要介绍了“脑印”技术的开发过程和未来的方向。由此可知，C选项“脑印——密码的未来”最符合文章标题。故选C。

The popular streaming service Netflix announced plans to exclude (排除) tobacco use from any of its new shows and movies that target younger audiences, specifically those below the age of 15. According to media reports, the decision comes from pressure from Truth Initiative, a large non-profit organization aiming to get rid of tobacco and make its use “a thing of the past”.
Smoking is a bad habit and no parents want their kids to start smoking. As such, excluding the vice (坏习惯) from television shows and movies young people watch makes good sense. I’ll acknowledge that Netflix’s decision to exclude smoking is a good one — but it’s a wildly inconsistent standard. What about other vices? For example, the use of bad language?
As parents of three young boys, my wife and I are trying to expose our children to good things. We want to encourage them to grow up to become responsible men who see the value and potential in every person. We want to see them avoid the landmines that so often entrap young people today.
Sadly, typical television shows and movies contain material that’s the exact opposite of that. It’s often said that companies only produce what people will consume — and there’s some truth in such a claim. But the organization I work for has long had an online site that helps parents know about what's in a movie, show or music album. We don’t tell you whether you should watch or listen — we simply let you know what it’s about — and let you decide. It’s our most popular site, attracting millions of visits each month.
Netflix might be surprised how many new customers they would win if they started producing content that parents actually want instea
