21、The term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution —the use of electronics and IT in production.
Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing (制造业). The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological bases are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.
So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “it is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else.” Networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries (界限) of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.
How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a today’s factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.
The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. It’s not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0. Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities.
【1】What marks the coming of Industry 4.0?
A. Steam engines. B. Mass production.
C. Intelligent networks. D. Use of electronics.
【2】Industry 4.0 will probably result in ________ in the world of manufacturing.
A. everything connected with everything else
B. production limited to an individual factory
C. networks and processes no longer existing
D. classic factories stopping their competition
【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined part in Para. 4?
A. Sharing information of the world time.
B. Global news broadcast at any time.
C. Spreading news widely on the hour.
D. Instant worldwide information exchange
【4】The writer’s attitude toward Industry 4.0 can best be described as ________.
A. negative B. supportive
C. doubtful D. cautious
22、It is natural for young people to admire an cool model — looking young “idols”. We spend a lot of time caring about them — even more time than we spend on our studies or work. We often wonder what makes them so popular? What could I do to be cool like them?
Well, guess what? Many of your idols are only made to “look”cool. If you could see into their private lives, you would find these stars aren’t so bright. Their beauty is only skin-deep. Some of them might not be as honest, kind or hard-working, as you are! They don’t deserve (值得) the popularity that they enjoy at all!
When I was a teenager, I, along with most of my classmates, had worshiped pop idols, too. Then, one day, I discovered Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. They were ordinary-looking people who played the guitar while sitting on a stool (凳子). They wore no flashy clothes, and they had no screaming fans. They didn’t need to be flashy because their songs were great and meaningful. They told the truth: Life is hard and the road you take might sometimes be lonely. Most of all, they taught me that it was okay if I was not popular and cool all of the time. I still listen to them today.
Modem “idol culture” often sends the wrong message that life is always easy and fun. But the best actors, the top-ranking sports stars and the most creative scientists all have scars from the stress of dealing with many life difficulties. Many of the successful “outgoing” people we admire today were shy when they were teenagers.
Idols can serve as important role models in our lives, so it’s very important to choose the right ones. We should praise people who teach us important values that can help to guide us on the road ahead. The next time you see some pretty, popular “stars”, ask yourself: Do I really need these people in my life?
【1】What kind of idol is worth admiring according to the passage?
A．One who appears so cool.
B．One who wears flashy clothes.
C．One who has a beautiful appearance.
D．One who impresses us with good values.
【2】The author gave his own idol experience in Paragraph 3 mainly to ________.
A．make a judgment
B．support an opinion
C．make a comparison
D．present a result
【3】What can we know about the modem idol culture?
A．It often misleads teenagers.
B．It always sends wrong messages.
C．Idols have ups and downs in life.
D．Idols were shy when they were teenagers.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Do as Idols Do
B．Try to Be a Cool Idol
C．Follow a Popular Idol
D．Say No to Wrong Idols
23、When Zhang Ning , whose pen name was Misha, started drawing manga（漫画） in junior high school, it was a time when Japanese cartoonists occupied most of the Chinese market. She was warned about the poor wage cartoonists earn and the risk of pursuing a career in an industry where China is not yet competitive.
But with the growth of domestic animation and manga industry in recent years, Zhang managed to draw her way up to become one of the country’s top cartoonists. In 2011, the 29-year-old won the Golden Dragon award, one of the most influential awards in China’s manga industry.
Looking back, the graduate of Zhejiang University of Technology said: “It was a dream come true.” Zhang’s success boomed along with the industry. In 2010, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s animation and manga industry was worth 47 billion yuan. It has seen annual growth rates of more than 20 percent in recent years.
These big numbers seem a far stretch from Zhang’s in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. But she thinks the very reason why cartoonists can enjoy a decent life is the country’s decision to well develop the industry. “The country is not giving us money directly, but it’s creating a market in which we can succeed,”said Zhang.
Apart from government investment, Zhang is also benefiting from technology advances. The Internet has provided a wider platform for cartoonists to publish their work. The electric edition of Zhang’s work ranked the 6th among free book apps on the Apple Store. “I think the Internet has encouraged new cartoonists and given them more chances. Before we could only contribute to magazines and it was difficult to convince the editors to publish our work”, said Zhang. “But when you release your work online, you receive encouragement and support from many netizens. It increases your confidence. ”said Zhang.
New technology has also attracted more people to read comics. “China has entered 3G era. It’s very convenient for people to read on their smart phones when traveling around. It opens comics to a bigger readership,” said Zhang. Only last week, Zhang published her new manga based on the ancient classic Tangzi(汤子) which set during the warring states period. According to Zhang, the inspiration came from wall painting in Dunhuang, Gansu province. She hopes her works will encouraged more people especially the young, to explore the cultural treasures of ancient China. “Chinese youths now need a spirit to help them to realize their dreams,” said Zhang. “Like Kua Fu(夸父) chasing the sun --- people can accomplish great things by choosing to something seemingly beyond their ability. I think that’s my “Chinese dream” and I want to share it with the public through my cartoons.”
【1】When Zhang Ning started drawing manga,________.
A. she nearly finished her study in junior high school.
B. Japanese cartoonists took up the majority of Chinese market.
C. Chinese cartoonists could earn so much money.
D. She was encouraged by her teachers.
【2】Which statement can be inferred from the passage?
A. Before the widespread use of the Internet, cartoonists merely send the works to magazines.
B. The Internet has been a wonderful platform only for Chinese cartoonists’ works.
C. China’s animation and manga industry will have a promising future.
D. New cartoonists have received support from the people from across China.
【3】This passage is mainly about _____________.
A. that Chinese cartoonists are the greatest in the world.
B. that China’s dream of being the top animation and manga nation.
C. that technology alone helps cartoonists to achieve success.
D. that a Chinese cartoonist has chased her dream and lived it.
【4】All of the following except _____ have contributed to Zhang Ning’s success.
A. her new manga Tangzi B. technology advances
C. widespread use of Internet D. government support.
24、According to Oxford Dictionaries, morality means: “Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.” Though morality is a rather subjective subject, there are some principles that are universal across all cultures found by an Oxford University study: "help your family, help your group, return favors, be brave, obey superiors, divide resources fairly, and respect others, property”. The fact that these morals are found across 60 cultures from around the world demonstrates that morality, though subjective, is the cornerstone of keeping our societies together. Here are some reasons to be moral: without morality, a social life is almost impossible to maintain; having a good reputation and having a clear conscience is psychologically healthy; and most philosophies regard unselfish and principled behavior as important.
There is no doubt that without morals, a society cannot function effectively. A confused situation would appear. According to the Society of Morality, “We are social animals, and the actions we take - the things we do and the things we don’t do - have consequences on our environments and on the others around us. As a result, we need to be able to govern our behavior in the near term so as not to injure ourselves or our community in the long term. This system of controlling our actions and our thoughts in order to operate in a community is what we often refer to as morality”. Therefore, we need a set of morals in order to operate within a social circle and a social environment. Acting immoral usually results in being excluded from social activities or being avoided by a society based on laws and cultural standards.
Besides acting moral having a sociological need, it also has a psychological basis. Most people are concerned to some extent about their reputation. According to PsyPost, “A lot of economic models of human behavior assume that people are only rational (理性的)when they narrowly pursue their own self-interest, but history shows us that people are also tremendously concerned with being and appearing moral”. So, the fear of one’s reputation being damaged is often a strong motivator to be moral. And if someone has been immoral, most people go out of their way to make sure no one finds out, or to correct the behavior in order to not be caught. This goes in line with conscience as well. People generally feel in a better psychological state if they feel that their conscience is clean. A dirty conscience can result in a lack of sleep, anxiety, internal stress, and even illness.
On the side of philosophy, the study of ethics (伦理)comes into play. Most philosophers agree that one should rationally choose a set of standards of behavior in order to function. Though there is moral relativism, there are universal anthropological (人类学的)morals, as mentioned in the introduction. By the nature of our societies and cultures, we choose what we believe is right and wrong. But surprising, this rational behavior comes to a general agreement on morals. So, there is a fine line between moral relativism and moral absolutism. But the main thing to take away from this discussion is that philosophers generally believe that each individual has the right to rationally come up with a set of ethics to live by, and that it is healthy to do so.
【1】The author discusses morality in the first paragraph in order to_________.
A．explain the relationship between morality and culture
B．describe the moral rules found all around the world
C．contrast the distinction between right and wrong
D．introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality
【2】It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．acting moral allows us to fit into groups better
B．morality brings the system of controlling behaviors
C．acting immoral weakens laws and cultural standards
D．Our controlled behaviors establish sets of morals
【3】Which of the following is the psychological basis for acting moral?
A．Pursuit of self-interest.
B．A clean conscience.
C．The concern about reputation.
D．A dirty conscience.
【4】What does the author advise us to do according to the last paragraph?
A．To reach a general agreement on morals based on ethics.
B．To carve one’s own sense of ethics to operate in this world.
C．To choose between moral relativism and moral absolutism.
D．To exclude philosophers’ beliefs and solutions as well.
