Hi,
I'm
Neil
Harbisso.
I
come
from
a
place
where
the
sky
is
always
grey,
where
flowers
are
always grey, and where television is still in black and white.

I actually come from a world where color doesn't exist. I was born with achromatopsia. I was
born completely color-blind. So I've never seen color, and don't know what it looks like. But since
the age of 21, I can hear color thanks to a magic electronic eye called
between
my
eyes
connected
to
a
chip(
芯片
)
installed
at
the
back
of
my
head
that
transforms
color frequencies into sound frequencies that I hear through my bone.

I've had the electronic eye permanently attached to my head and I've been listening to colors
nonstop since 2004. So I find it completely normal now to hear colors all the time.


Since
I
started
to
hear
color,
my
life
has
changed
significantly.
Art
galleries
have
become
concert halls. I can hear a Picasso. And supermarkets have become like night clubs. I love how
they sound.

My sense of beauty has changed. Someone might look very beautiful but sound terrible, and
someone might sound very harmonious but look awful. So I find it really exciting to create sound
portraits(
画像
)
of
people.
Instead
of
drawing
the
shape
of
someone's
face
I
write
down
the
different notes I hear when I look at them, and then I send them an mp3 of their face. Each face
sounds different. I can even give face concerts now, concerts where I play the audience's faces.
The good thing about doing this is that if the concert doesn't sound good, it's their fault.

I also found out that things I thought were colorless are not colorless at all. Cities are not grey.
Lisbon
is
yellow
turquoise(
宝石绿
);
London
is
very
golden
red…and
humans
are not
black
and
white. Human skins range from light shades of orange to very dark shades of orange. We are all
orange.

If we extend our senses, we will consequently extend our knowledge.

（
1
）
We can infer from the article that people with achromatopsia ____________.

A. suffer from blindness B. have a good sense of colors

C. are not able to see colors D. like to go to concert halls and supermarkets

（
2
）
What does the author mean by saying

A. Art galleries have been changed into various sounds.

B. Works at the art galleries are created by great musicians.

C. Art galleries are filled with noisy people.

D. The author now likes art galleries as much as concert halls.

（
3
）
Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

A. Neil developed a rare disease in his childhood.

B. The eyeborg produces sounds based on shades of colors.

C. Neil will use the eyeborg for the rest of his life.

（
4
）
What is the best title for the passage?

A. Eyeborg
–
a real life saver.

【分析】本文是一篇记 叙文，从小患有色盲的作者，利用颜色传感器来听自己看
不见的颜色，从而形成了作者与众不同的美感。 作者认为如果我们扩展我们的感官，我们
将因此扩展我们的知识。


（
1
）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的
“I actually come from a world where color doesn't exist.
I
was
born
with
achromatopsia.
I
was
born
completely
color-
blin d.”
我来自一个没有颜色的世
界。我生来患有色盲。我生来就是色盲。可推断，患有色盲的人 是看不见颜色的。故选
C
。


（
2
）考查句义猜测。根据第四段中的
“Since
I
started
to
hear
color,
my
life
has
changed
significantly.”自从我开始听到颜色，我的生活发生了巨大的变化；以及空后
“I
can
hear
a
Picasso.”

艺术画廊变成了音乐厅

意思是对作者来说，
艺术画廊已经变成了各种各样 的声音。故选

年开始我就不停地听彩色音乐。所
以我发现现在一直听到颜色是完全正 常的。以及文章主要内容为生来是色盲的作者讲述自
己听颜色的事情，故选

When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we
didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to
get
anywhere.
It
was
at
story
time
for
children
that
both
my
mother
and
I
made
lasting
friendships.

Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head
and
a
short
walk
to
the
Sea
Cliff
Children's
Library.
My
18-imonth-old
son,
Colin,
and
I
find
ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many
people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.

Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels.
But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I
learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the
place where we sometimes giggled(
咯咯笑
)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name.
Their
knowing
our
names
wasn't
a
bad
thing.
When
I
came
home
from
my
first
term
at
Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my
first teaching job.

I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they
can
check
out
books
via
their
smartphones
and
virtually(
虚拟地
)visit
a
variety
of
Long
Island
libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library,
makes
their
homework
easier
by
helping
them
find
resources.
Even
though
they
can't
always
easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.

（

）
Why does the author consider herself lucky today?

A. She has become her mother's best friend.
B. She has access to a reliable car now.

C. She can meet friends at the library.
D. She lives close to libraries.

（

）
What does the underlined word

A. Socializing in a library.
B. Reading books in a library.

C. Visiting a library with a family member. D. Building parent-child friendship in a library.

（

What is the author's attitude to her students' way of visiting libraries?

A. Cautious.
B. Favorable.
C. Doubtful.
D. Disapproving.

（
4

You're probably used to the regular upgrades in our cell- phone networks. There was 2G, which
came along in 199l, replaced with 3G in 2001, followed by 4G in 2009. Now we're hearing about
the coming of 5G.

But 5G
is
a
much
bigger leap
than before. 5G,
of

is
much
faster
than
4G
in
the real
world and a 5G phone in a 5G city will enjoy Internet speeds between 9 and 20 times as fast. The

These

are
much
higher
than
anything
we've
used
for
the

which
means
they can offer unbelievable speed

but at the cost of range. Millimeter wave cellular towers have
to be about 500 feet apart. Cell carriers not only will have to upgrade all their cell transceivers
(called small cells) but will install(

That's why the millimeter wave flavor of 5G, the superfast coverage, will be available only in
densely populated cities such as New York and San Francisco. In suburban and rural areas, 5G will

firm in Frankfurt. Still, he says it was noticeable that when an employee 20 years older than him
thanked him for buying lunch he had to swallow twice before adding the word

Older workers sometimes envy being managed by a younger colleague. Precocious (
老成的
)
youngsters, too, can feel awkward about bossing their elders around. But in Germany a shortage
of skilled workers means that such situations are becoming even more common.

The country's population is projected to shrink. As more Germans retire, fewer youngsters are
entering the work-place to replace them. As a share of the working population the number of 15-
to-24-year-olds has fallen by ten percent since the 1980s, says the German Federal Employment
Agency. Firms competing to hire young talent have to promote them earlier as a result. A paper
by
professors
at
the
university
of
Cambridge
and
WHU,
a
German
business
school,
to
be
published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior, suggests this could be a problem.

As in many countries, German work-places are legally obliged to overlook age when deciding
whom to promote. Yet according to Jochen Menges, one of the authors, when an ordinary worker
leap-frogs
a
more
experienced
one
it
can
leave
the
latter
with
feelings
of

fear
and
disgust.
in being bossed about by someone younger. The relationship between feelings of anxiety and the
age
of
the
boss
is
clear,
according
to
Mr
Menges.
A
manager
who
is
younger
by
one
year
is
somewhat unsettling; a gap of 20 years is far more discouraging.

German firms certainly shouldn't return to a system in which age equals to rank. But young
people tend to be sensitive about managing upwards. And older workers should be encouraged
to see the bright side of learning new skills. Daimler, a big German car firm, says it promotes age-
mixed teams, so that knowledge can be transferred between generations. It also supports young
managers by asking retired employees to provide temporary support.

（

For
what
does
the
author
mention
a
young
German
manager
and
his
experience
in
Paragraph 1?

A. To introduce the topic. B. To present an argument.

C. To attract readers' interest.
D. To describe his own idea.

（

Why are some precocious youngsters bossing their elders around in Germany?

A. Precocious youngsters are all skilled workers.

B. Such situations are becoming more common.

C. Fewer youngsters would like to do hard work.

D. Companies compete fiercely to hire young talent.

In
which
of
the
following
situations
might
an
employee
regard
himself
as
a
failure
according to the passage?

A. When he has to decide whom to promote.

C. When he is being bossed about by someone younger.

D. When he experiences feelings of anger, fear and disgust.

What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. A younger boss is more likely to be nervous and anxious.

B. An employee with a younger boss tends to suffer from anxiety.

C. There is a connection between anxiety and the age of promotion.

D. The age of the boss and anxiety are closely related.

（

What can we learn from the passage?

A. Qualified workers should be promoted to boss.

【分析】本文是一篇说 明文，由于德国年轻人数量下降，竞相雇佣年轻人才的公
司不得不更早地提拔年轻人来做管理人员，拥有 一位年轻的老板对员工无形中也产生了焦
虑感。就此应该鼓励老员工看到学习新技能的光明面，以及组建 年龄混合的团队。


（
1
）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的
”Still, he says it was noticeable that when an employee
20 years older than him thanked him for buying lunch he had to swallow twice before adding the
word
’boss‘.“
不过，他说，值得注意的是，当一名比他大
20
岁的员工感 谢他买了午餐时，
他不得不吞下两口，然后才加上
“
老板
”
一词。提 到的事例以及第二段中的
”Older

Precocious

年长的员工有时 会羡慕被年轻的同事
管理。早熟的年轻人也会因为对长辈颐指气使而感到尴尬。但在德国，熟练工人的短 缺意
味着这种情况变得更加普遍。对第一段的现象进行解释说明，可知作者在第一段中提到了
一 个年轻的德国经理和他的经历是为了引入主题。故选
A
。

”15
-to-24-year-olds has fallen by ten percent since the
1980s, says the German Federal Employment Agency. Firms competing to hire young talent have
to promote them earlier as a result.“
德国联邦职业介绍所表示，自上世纪
80
年代以来，
15
至
24
岁的年轻人数量下降了
10%< br>。因此，竞相雇佣年轻人才的公司不得不更早地提拔他们。
可知在德国有些早熟的年轻人对长辈颐 指气使，这是因为公司为雇佣年轻人才的激烈竞
争，导致年轻人更早地被提拔为管理人员。故选
D
。

”People

their

standing

the
success of their peers, and to see failure in being bossed about by someone younger.“
人们倾向
于根据同龄人的成功来判断 自己的地位，并认为被年轻人左右是失败的。可知当员工被更
年轻的人颐指气使的时候，他会认为自己是 失败的。故选
C

”
A

somewhat
unsettling; a gap of 20 yea

一个年轻一岁的经理有点让人不安；
20

意思是：拥有年轻老板的员 工往往会感到焦虑。故选
B

Mars(
火星
) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer,
scientists reported Monday.
Mars,
2015.

The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said.
we're dealing with is wet soil, thin layers of wet soil, not standing water,
the University of Arizona at Tueson, the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's
high-resolution imaging experiment.


Because
liquid
water
is
essential
to
life,
the
findings
could
have
major
implications
for
the
possibility
of
Martian
life.
The
researchers
said
further
exploration
is
needed
to
determine
whether microscopic life exists on the planet.

The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars.
Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA's goal is to send
humans there in the 2030s.

The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(
条痕
) on the surface that
tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.

Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is
as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt
ice.

The source of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an
underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from
the
thin
Martian
atmosphere.
Or
it
may
be
a
combination
Michael
Meyer,
lead
scientist
for
NASA's
Mars
exploration
program,
said
the
only
definitive
way
for
now
to
determine
whether
there's life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth
—
something a U. S. lander set
for lift-off in 2020 will do.

According to a team of researchers, an animal's ability to perceive(

perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving
creatures.


The
study
was
done
with
a
variety
of
animals
using
phenomenon
based
on
the
maximum
speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for
example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.

One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to
avoid being hit. The research showed flies
can achieve,

Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on
the research project, said in a statement,
higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information
equally
quickly.
Thus,
this
work
highlights
the
impressive
abilities
of
even
the
smallest
animal
brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly.


In
comparison,
the
tiger
beetle(
虎甲虫
)runs
faster
than
its
eyes
can
keep
up,
basically
becoming blind, which requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its prey's(
猎物
)position.


Our
results
suggest
that
time
perception
offers
an
as

unstudied
dimension
along
which
animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.

Gemini Man

Gemini Man is a big- budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather
than
on
a
superhero
comic
or
an
old TV
series, even
though
this
particular
original
concept
is
more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (
杀手
)is being hunted down by his own clone The
original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-
listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man,
and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (
分身
).

Jojo Rabbit

During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a
dutiful
Nazi,
only
to
discover
that
his
mother
(Scarlett
Johansson)
is
hiding,
a
Jewish
girl
(Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but
Taika
Waititi
can
make
anything
warm
and
funny.
As
well
as
writing
and
directing
Jojo
Rabbit,
Waititi co-stars as the boy's imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler.

Doctor Sleep

Mike Flanag's new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel
(
续集
) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly
twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the
boy with psychic powers m 1980 film. Now, he is a middle-aged hospital counsellor.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Here's another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-
action
remake
of
the
Sleeping
Beauty
cartoon
from
1959.
The
twist
was
that
the
eponymous
wicked fairy wasn't so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora
(Elle Fanning). The sequel's subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around,
her change of heart prompted by Aurora's engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).
