7．Worst Game Ever？
E．T．the Extra-Terrestrial is a video game that came out for the Atari 2600game system in 1982．It was based on a very popular film of the same name．Star programmer Howard Warsaw created it with consultation from the film director Steven Spielberg．
It was July 27th，1982．Howard Warsaw was hot off the success of his most recent game，Raiders of the Lost Ark．He received a call from Atari C．E．O，Ray Kassar．Atari had bought the rights to make a video game version of Spielberg's Movie，E．T．，which had just been released（发行） in June．Kassar told Warsaw that Spielberg had specifically asked for Warsaw to make the game Warsaw was honored，but there was one huge problem．Atari needed the game finished by September 1^st in order to start selling it during the Christmas season．
It had taken Warsaw six months to create Raiders of the Lost Ark．The game he made prior to that took him seven months．He was expected to create E．T．in around five weeks．Warsaw accepted the challenge anyway and production began．Spielberg wanted Warsaw to create a simple maze game similar to Pac-man，but V had a bigger vision．He wanted players to explore different environments in 3D world．Usually companies like Atari have people test games before releasing them，but they decided to skip testing due to time limitations．
The game was a hot holiday item at first．Unfortunately，Atari overestimated how many they would sell．They made 5million copies and they only sold 1.5million．Most people who played the game hated it．The graphics（画面）were bad．Game play was awkward．Players got stuck in holes that they couldn't escape．Some people who stuck with the game grew to like it，but it wasn't the mainstream success that Atari had hoped it would be．
Too many copies of the game sat on store shelves．One employee remembers the game being discounted five times，from 49.95tolessthanadollar．AnewspaperinNewMexicoreportedthatbetween10and20semitrailertruckloadsofAtariproductswerecrushedandburiedatlandfillinAlamogordo．Atarilostover100million on E．T..The game was so bad that it was said to have affected Atari's reputation．The video game industry soon fell into a deep depression，with a profit 3.2billionin1983tojustover100million in 1985，almost a 97% drop．E．T．the Extra-Terrestrial will long be remembered as one of the worst games ever made，if not one of the causes of the decline of entire video game industry．
59．What can we learn about Howard Warsaw from the passage？A
A．He was ambitious．
B．He was cautious．
C．He was unreliable．
D．He was inexperienced．
60．Why did E．T．end up one worst video game ever？A
A．It was produced in a hurry．
B．It was set in a 3D environment．
C．It was released at a wrong time．
D．It was based on a popular movie．
61．According to the passage，the failure of the game E．T．may haveC
A．destroyed the reputation of the film E．T．
B．given chances to other companies to rise
C．led to the fall of the video game industry
D．made people lose interest in 3D environment
62．In the passage the author describes Atari's failureD

20．As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information，strict password security has become more important than ever．A new study shows that free-form gestures-sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone-can be used to unlock phones．These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords．
"All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye，"said one of the researchers of the study．"With all the personal information we have on our phones today，improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary．"In developing a secure solution to this problem，the researchers studied the practicality of using free-form gestures．With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen，the gestures were popular as passwords．Since users create them without following a template，the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity．
The researchers carried out a create-test-retest experiment where 63people were asked to create a gesture，recall it，and recall it again 10days later．The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team．Using this data，they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory．The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free-form gestures as passwords．
To put their analysis into practice，the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering，each with considerable experience with touchscreens（触摸屏），attempt to steal a free-form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly．None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy．The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks．
Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear，the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free-form passwords in the future．They believe this is the first study to explore free-form gestures as passwords．They will soon publish their findings．

32．What can we learn about free-form gestures？A
A．They are improving mobile security in a way．
B．Users will have to make use of simple gestures．
C．They will never be copied by others．
D．Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes．
33．The experiment in paragraph 4is to testD of free-form gestures．
A．template
B．application
C．accuracy
D．security
34．According to the text，the researchers think thatB．
A．it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye
B．better ways of setting passwords should be developed
C．people had better not use smart phones to pay bills
D．personal information should not be stored in a phone
35．The main purpose of the text is toD．
A．advise people to use free-form gestures
B．discuss whether smart phones are safe
C．talk about the practicality of passwords
D．introduce the study of a new password．

7．British MPs （国会议员） have voted in favour of the creation of babies with DNA from two women and one man，in a historic move．The UK is now set to become the first country to introduce laws to allow the creation of babies from three people．In a free vote in the Commons，382MPs were in favour and 128against the technique that stops genetic diseases being passed from mother to child．During the debate，ministers said the technique was"light at the end of a dark tunnel"for families．
A further vote is required in the House of Lords．If everything goes ahead then the first such baby could be born next year．Supporters said it was"good news for progressive medicine"but critics say they will continue to fight against the technique that they say raises too many ethical （伦理的） and safety concerns．Estimates suggest 150three-person babies could be born each year．
Prime Minister David Cameron said："We're not playing god here； we're just making sure that two parents who want a healthy baby can have one．"The method，which was developed in Newcastle，should help women like Sharon Bernadi，from Sunderland，who lost all seven of her children to mitochondrial （线粒体的） disease．Ms Bernadi said she was"overwhelmed"by the decision．
Mitochondria are the tiny compartments （隔间） inside nearly every cell of the body that transform food into useable energy．They have their own DNA，which does not affect characteristics such as appearance． Defective mitochondria are passed down only from the mother．They can lead to brain damage，muscle wasting，heart failure and blindness．The technique uses a modified version to combine the DNA of the two parents with the healthy mitochondria of a donor woman．It results in babies with 0.1% of their DNA from the second woman and is a permanent change that would be passed down through the generations．

25．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true？C
A．The new technique is intended to provide the parents a healthy baby．
B．The mitochondrial disease can lead to various fatal illnesses．
C．Britain is the first country to have created three-person babies．
D．All of Ms Bernadi's children died of a genetic disease．
26．The underlined word"defective"is closest to the meaning ofD．
A．strangely-made
B．normally developed
C．functioning perfectly
D．not functioning properly
27．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．Mitochondria are inside nearly every cell that change food into useable energy
B．DNA of Mitochondria can affect a person's appearance
C．in medical science ethical factors should be taken into consideration
D．the donor woman's DNA will not be found in the three-person baby
28．Prime Minister David CameronA the creation of such babies．
A．is in favour of
B．throws doubt on
C．objects to
D．is indifferent to．

17．Sina Weibo，one of the country's most popular micro-blogging sites，has launched a paid service．For a 10 yuan （$ l.57）monthly fee，users get a membership on their Sina Weibo accounts．
According to Xu Yuanyuan，a member of the marketing team at Sina，the move is to guarantee a more convenient and safer environment for users．But despite the company's efforts to increase income，it seems that most of its 300 million users still prefer the free version．
The premium membership（高级会员） plans，announced by the company on Monday，brought about negative comments from its users．
"The current service is good enough for me"，said a Beijing-based micro-blogger．"I don't really need those value-added services and it might be a waste of money．I might consider paying for it if some more features are added．"
Dong Xu，an analyst with consulting firm Analysys International，said that Sina shouldn't expect a great increase in income brought by the new services．The free services are enough for most users，Dong said．"The company has been making attempts at different profit models since last year．A potential source of income could be gaming．Games and advertisements are so far the two biggest sources of income．"she said．
Other micro-blogging service providers have not yet followed suit．Fang Gang，vice-president of rival Sohu，said via e-mail on Tuesday that Sohu's micro-blogging service will never charge users．"It's good news for us．Users can come to our website if they have to pay for services （at Sina）．"Fang said．

56．Most of Sina Weibo's usersB．
A．aren't satisfied with its free version

A．Negative．
B．Confident．
C．Indifferent．
D．Positive．

A．Because Sina will make more money．

4．

A．What does the Olympic Motto mean？
B．Research on individual styles improves performance．
C．Research holds the key to success．
D．Personalized programs will help．
E．New equipment has made a difference．
F．Is there a limit to record-breaking？

76．F
A world record is every athlete's dream，but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times．Roger Bannister's famous four-minute mile of 1956has been beaten by nearly 15seconds，while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since.1953．‘Faster，higher，stronger'，is the Olympic motto，and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve．But one wonders if this can continue．
77．E
The last forty years have seen many important technological advances．For example，since the introduction of strong flexible，fiberglass poles，over a meter has been added to the pole vault record．There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe．And while a shoe won't actually make someone run faster，modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable，injury-free training．
78．C
Pushing back the limits now depends more on science，technology and medicine than anything else．Athletic technique，training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record．It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough．
79．B
The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on．Analysis of an athlete's style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing．Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach，as once thought，but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off．However，the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles．For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump．
80．D
In the future，it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes．Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining，the cause of many injuries．If athletes feed all their information into a database，it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut．

2．I'm usually fairly doubtful about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50years ago．While any of these statements might be true，they are practically impossible to prove scientifically．Still，I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s．In fact，the analysis showed，normal children aged 9to 17exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50years ago．
Why are America's kids so stressed？According to the report there are two main causes：increasing loneliness─brought on by high divorce rates and little communication with society，among other things─and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place．
Given that we can't turn the clock back，adults can still do plenty to help the next generation handle such difficulties．At the top of the list is giving children a better appreciation of the limits of individualism （个人主义）．No child is an island．Strengthening social ties helps protect individuals against stress．To help kids build stronger connections with others，you can pull the plug on TVs and computers．Your family will thank you later．They will have more time for face-to-face relationships，and they will get more sleep．
Limit the amount of virtual  violence your children are exposed to．It's not just video games and movies； children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news．Keep your expectations for your children reasonable．Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale．Make exercise part of your daily routine．It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids．Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable．But it doesn't have to ruin your life．

125．The author thinks that the conclusions of any research comparing people's state of mind today with people's state of mind in the past areD．
A．surprising           B．confusing
C．interesting          D．questionable
126．What does the author mean when he says，"we can't turn the clock back"（Paragraph 3）？B
A．It's impossible to slow down the pace of change．
B．The social reality children are facing cannot be changed．
C．Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten．
D．It's impossible to forget the past．
127．According to the analysis，compared with normal children today，children treated as mentally ill 50years agoC．
A．had little communication with friends
B．were probably less self-centered
C．probably suffered less from anxiety
D．were considered less individualistic
128．The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children isC．
A．to provide the children with a safer environment
B．to lower their expectations for the children
C．to get the children more active socially
D．to set an example for the children to follow
129．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage？A
A．Anxiety，though unavoidable，can be dealt with．
B．Children's anxiety has been taken too seriously．
C．Children's anxiety can disappear with more parental care．
D．Anxiety，if properly controlled，may help children become mature．
