You want a smart phone, but just how smart do you want it?How about one that can read your mind? Well, thatphone may well be on its way...
Justin Rattner, chief researcher at Intel, saysthat technology has developed to the point that "context-awarecomputing", an idea that's been around for twenty years, isbecoming more of a reality.
72 That could lead to a phone that acts asa mind reader in your pocket. But rather thansimply collect secrets aboutyou, the device could do things with that information, such aspredict what you might do next and makesuggestions.
73 Rattner gave a few examples during hisspeech at Inters developer conference recently.
Among them, a software Intel worked on withFodor's Travel, a traveling website. It learns what types of foodsand places you like, based on searches you type into the phone orplaces you searched using GPS.The software makes similar recommendations when you visit a newcity.
Tech companies are already working to predict whatpeople want Search engine Google, movie-rental service Netflix, and onlineradio service Pandora try to guess what people want evenbefore they know they want it.
Putting those types of functions together with the otherinformation that phones collect about people could pave the way for even more helpful mobilephones, Rattner said.
A challenge is training computers to look at data from"hard sensors (探测器)" (which measure place, movement, temperature etc.)and combining those findings with data from "soft sensors" (such ascalendar appointments and Web browsing history).
For example, your phone could tell you have just leftschool and seem to be on your way home - a location it might know from your address book. It couldthen tell you the best route around traffic.
“Things don't get really interesting until you mix that hardsensor data with soft sensor data," Rattner said.74 "It gives devices almost this sixth sense ofpredicting what a user will need in the future,whether that's the next few minutes or at dinner later inthe day."
Rattner added that researchers are even makingsteps toward the final goal - a computer understanding of thoughts. However, hesaid there will be a need for stronger privacy controls whenphones and computers develop a better ability to "think forthemselves".
72. According to the passage, smart phones inthe future will be able to_______________ .
A. understandour thoughts and do what we ask
B. forecast our behavior and offeradvice
C. collectpersonal information and give away secrets
D. thinklogically and make decisions for us

73. It can beseen from the passage that JustinRattner_________________.
A. believes thatcurrent software can already predict our desires
B. criticizedsome tech companies for analyzing customerdesires
C. gave examplesof new phone functions under development
D. has shown howthe new smart phones work at the conference

74.What can be concluded about "think for themselves"computers?
A.They are a dream that can never come true.
B. Theirnegative effects haven't been considered yet.
C. They arebeing used in some areas of life.
D. The need toprotect privacy against them should be met.

Motivational Theory
76._____________________________
When a group of people meet for a conference, or trainingcourse, there is always a feeling of uncertainty anddiscomfort. Even if people know each other, they feel uncomfortablein the new strange situation, because it is different. Games andteam building activities like ice-breakers, warm-ups can relaxpeople; Teams unite and work together when they identify a commonpurpose—whether the aim is the tallest towermade out of newspapers, or a game of rounders on the park.Activities and games break down the barriers, and therefore helpdevelop close relationships.
77
Everyone is different. Taking part in new gamesand activities outside of the work situation illustrates people'sdifferent strengths and working style preferences. Respect developswhen people see skills and attributes in others that they didn'tknow existed. Also, people work and learn in differentways.
78. ___________________________
Learning and taking part in a completely newactivity or game like juggling demonstrates that learning isongoing. The lessons never finish, unless people decide to stoplearning. Introducing people, staff or employees to new experiencesopens their minds to new avenues of personal development, andemphasises the opportunity for continuous learning that isavailable to us all.
79. __________________________
Team building activities like juggling,construction exercises, or outdoor games, get the body moving,which is good for general health and for an energetic approach towork. A minute of juggling three balls is 200 throws, theequivalent of pumping over 20 kilos. Physical activity alsoprovides significant stress relief, and stress management is partof every organization's duty of care towards its employees. Peopleconcentrate and work better when they have had some light exerciseand physical stimulus. Physical activity energizes people andreduces stress and tension.
80. ___________________________
When you look someone in the eye and thank themsincerely it means a lot. In front of other people even more so.The key words are the ones which say thanks and well done for doinga great job, especially where the words recognize each person's ownspecial ability, quality, contribution, effort, whatever. Peoplealways appreciate being valued as an individual even more. When younext have the chance to thank your team or an individualteam-member, take the time to find out a special thing that eachperson has done and make a point of mentioning these things. Doingthis, the praise tends to carry even greater meaning andmotivational effect.

Section D
Directions: Read thefollowing passage carefully. Then answer the questions or completethe statements in the fewest possible words.
The library is one of the most popular places at a Westernuniversity. Students turn to it for research,conversations about class, and many other services.
Compared with Chinese libraries, college libraries in theUS and UK81 tend to offermore resources. A graduate student at Yale University can borrow as manyas 225 books at a time.
In addition to borrowing books, there are online andelectronic resources. These include a database(数据库) search of popular and academicmaterial, such as LexisNexis Academic, which offers items fromnewspapers and magazines.
Although books and articles are the items that students askfor most frequently, some libraries provide video recordings. At some schools, teachers andtutors put electronic copies of their teaching PPTs on thelibrary Web to give easier access for students.
Another useful service in Western college libraries is theInterlibrary Loan. This allows a student at one school to borrow books from another school.The loan request is made through the student's college library,which gets the book, gives it to the user, and arranges for itsreturn.
Technology has made libraries more attractive. Someuniversities have services for students to send messagesthrough the computer.
Earlier this year, Harvard University introduced a new Scanand Deliver service, allowing students to make requests for partsof books and articles. Requests made through the system arehandled by library staff. The studentreceives an e-mail with an Internet link to the scannedpages. The service is free and all material comes withinfour days.
It used to be that libraries didn't allow food or drinks.But that rule is changing and many of them now contain a cafe so students can spend as much timeas they want iirthe library.
Additionally, some US university libraries are nowall-night affairs, or have at least one study room open allnight.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements inNO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

One possible version: (176 words)
Most schools suggest that every student should buy(life or accident) insurance. Although it is a very uncomfortabletopic to think about, or even talk about, it is we, ourselves whohave the responsibility to make sure that we are protected in allcircumstances. So I think there are many good reasons why we shouldbuy insurance.
It's true that every parent hopes to see theirchild grow into happy and healthy adults without anything badhappens. Unfortunately, they cannot always be there 24 hours a day,7 days a week protecting their children. Unexpected things dohappen in our daily life. Once in a while, we heard that someoneinjured either in the road accidents or in the P. E. lessons.(…阐述事例…)On this occasion, it can mainly reduce the familyfinancial burden that comes with serious illness or accident if wehave bought insurance.
We should thank god if these types of events neverhappens to ourselves. After all, the money we used to buy theinsurance can be given to those who need them most.
