Grammar and Vocabulary Section A In CCTV s annual consumer-protection show earlier this month, the international sportswear giant Nike was accused of false advertising. Commercials (21)_ (promote) the Hyperdunk basketball shoes claimed the product is equipped with high-tech air cushions. The CCTV program, however, revealed that the product didn t come with the feature. Consumers were apparently misled. This is, in fact, not the first time Nike (22)_ (catch) cheating Chinese consumers. Back in 2011, consumers complained that that year s Hyperdunk sneakers didn t have the (23)_ (advertise) air cushions in them, either. Such wrongdoings might not mark the end of Nike (24)_ a respectable and reliable brand among loyal shoppers, but Nike needs to realize that (25)_ one day consumers trust in it vanishes（消失） , so will its sales. By then, it will be impossible for the brand to restore its reputation. China is an i mportant base for Nike (26)_ it accounts for about ten percent of the company s market. Over the past three decades, numerous NBA greats, from Michael Jordan to LeBron James, have been shown wearing Nike s gear, proving its quality. Placing misleading advertisements once again has dampened some consumers trust in Nike. Fortunately, Nike issued a timely apology last week, offering a 4500-yuan refund, (27)_ is three times the cost of the shoes. These gestures show that the company has somewhat realized its mistake and wants to re-establish consumers trust in it. Sportswear companies often push the truth of their products by having famous athletes wearing them. If Usain Bolt is seen in a commercial (28)_ (dash) with Nike, it might be implied that the shoes (29)_ enable you to run faster. However, there are limits to (30)_ can be said to promote a product. With lying comes distrust, and with distrust comes collapse. That s why Nike, and any other company, needs to be more careful with advertising in the future. Section B A. changingB. availableC. exposureD. worsen E. sensitive F. density G. restH. shadedI. reflectionsJ. interrupted K. fighting Are your eyes dry, watery, seeing double or _31_ to light, and do your back and neck ache? If so, you are likely one of many people today who suffer from digital eyestrain （视疲劳）, also called computer-vision syndrome. Eyestrain is often related to the amount of _32_ to screens, the distance from eyes to screens and the use of multiple screens at the same time. However, studies have also shown that the blue light produced by digital devices reaches further into the eyes than other kinds of light. This light actually assists attention during the day but can result in _33_ sleep patterns at night. Scientists have stated that eyestrain is not a necessary evil, even in a modern world that circles around technology. Sometimes _34_ some simple details about your relative position to screens, such as staying 1 about 60 centimeters away, will help. Also, avoid overhead and other direct sources of light, and use _35_ lamps and window blinds while looking at digital devices instead. Beyond the ways that you relate to digital screens, there are also ways to change how you view screens that are helpful in _36_ eyestrain. To begin with, your computer screen should be high-resolution （高 分辨率） , and may require a screen filter to decrease _37_.

Finally, many of us fall into bad habits while using digital screens that only _39_ the effects of eyestrain. When viewing digital screens, many people blink（眨眼） one third less often than they usually do. Place a reminder on your computer to blink! so that your eyes don t dry out. Also, _40_ your eyes focusing muscles by using the 20 -20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. There are many other methods used to help relieve eyestrain, so find what works for you rather than giving in to tired vision. III. Reading Comprehension Section A University educators largely think highly of the wonders of teaching through technology. However, critics _41_ whether something is lost when professors and lectures rely too heavily on electronic media or when _42_ with students takes place remotely in cyberspace（网络空间） _43_ the real space of the classroom. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, the Professor of Literature at Stanford University, is one such cri tic. I think this enthusiastic and sometimes childish and _44_ pushing toward the more technology the better, the more websites the better teacher, is very dangerous is indeed _45_, he indicates. However, Gumbrecht warns that there are few studies either supporting or rejecting the hypothesis (假设 ) that traditional ways of teaching are _46_ to teaching via the Internet. He says that he could point only to his feeling that real classroom presence should be _47_ , and emphasizes the need for educator to examine critically where technology _48_ a useful teaching function and where it does not. Yet, Gumbrecht allows that, for courses in which knowledge transmission is the only purpose, electronic media probably can do the job well enough. Indeed, as a result of 20th century s knowledge _49_ and the increasing costs of higher education, using technology for the transmission of information is probably _50_, he admits. However, knowledge transmission should not be the most important function of the university, he maintains, _51_ that universities should be places where people face open questions, places for intellectual complexity and riskful thinking. We are not about finding or transmitting solutions; we are not about recipes; we are not about making intellectual life easy. Challenging complexity is what _52_ your mind. It is something like intellectual gymnastics. And this is what makes you a suitable member of the society. Moreover, discussions in the physical presence of others can lead to the intellectual _53_. There s a(an) _54_ change, and you don t know how it happens. Discussions in the physical presence have the capacity of being the catalyst (催化剂 ) for such intellectual breakthroughs. The possibility of in-classroom teaching of letting something happen which cannot happen if you teach by the transmission of information is its _55_. 41. A. deny B. question C. object D. comment 42.

A. qualitative B. irregular C. protective D. minor 55. A. criticism B. strength C. demonstration D. involvement Section B (A) Talking to human-like devices can be great fun just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems. A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas in the US found that human- like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely. During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of catch against a computer program that was designed to throw the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online. Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器） designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like how much does it help you? The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn t need to seek out normal human interaction. Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, according to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at KU. But it wasn t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend. As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person, Olson told Daily Mail. The effect goes away. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level. Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity. If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely, Olson said. From that standpoint, it s important to be aware of it. The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction. Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships, Olson said, such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections. 56.Researchers from the University of Kansas found that _. A. human-like devices may help people interact with others B. interactions with human-like devices may make people feel lonely C. lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices D. human-like devices may reduce people s social interaction in real life 3 57.During the experiments, participants _. A. were allowed to talk with human-like devices B. were shown devices with human features C. played online games with both machines and real people D. were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction 58.The underlined phrase this effect in Paragraph 7 refers to the fact that _. A. lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with other people B. lonely people are content to interact with human-like machines C. the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact with human-like devices D. people who are socially excluded will have difficulty in socializing 59.One of the significances of the study is that it _. A. shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely B. warns people to abandon human-like devices completely C. forces lonely people to get involved in normal social interaction D. helps companies realize the limitation of human-like devices (B) Hair Loss (Alopecia) Information about male pattern baldness（秃顶） causes, triggers and treatment in the UK In contrary to popular belief, hair loss or alopecia can start at any age. Whilst it is associated with mature males, and statistics show it does mainly affect men above 40, the reality is you can notice symptoms in your 30s, or even 20s and teen years. The NHS statistics state that 25% of men start losing their hair by the time they reach 30. The most common form of hair loss is male pattern baldness also known as androgenic alopecia that affects more than half of men around the world. One option many men seek is treatment to avoid further hair loss, especially early on in the process. With treatments, such as Propecia, that specifically target male pattern baldness, it is possible to stop hair loss completely and even encourage fresh new hair growth. “ Hair loss doesn t have to be an inevitable part of the ageing process for men, especially with the help of prescription treatments.” Dr Hilary Jones OnlineClinic Medical Advisor What s on this page?
