Do Encyclopedias Know Everything
Long before Wikipedia (维基百科) or Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), there was Pliny the Elder. He was a first-century Roman researcher. His assistants read to him while he ate dinner and while he bathed. Pliny took notes. He even thought walking is a waste of time. His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair while he read.
All of this was done in preparation for his Historia Naturalis (《博物志》). The book came out in A．D．77. It is the oldest surviving (现存的) encyclopedia on Earth. There are 2,500 chapters. They cover everything from mice to Mars.
“No Roman writer has completed such a project,” Pliny proudly declared. Unluckily, two years after having published (出版) the encyclopedia, he died in a natural disaster.
Accidents can hardly be avoided. However, they can be recorded (记录). Editors (编辑), like Pliny, organize the knowledge of our world. Like a valuable gift, the books are passed down through the ages. They begin their lives as a tool and end them as a historical record.
Therefore, in my opinion, an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know, it’s also a record of what they don’t know.
Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. He was wrong, too, when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the sun. After all, Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a Roman thousands of years ago. It recorded all of the things he truly knew at the time.
Similarly, I believe both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some inaccurate (不准确的) information. Even the biggest encyclopedias only show what their editors know.
“The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed,” said Roger Lewinter, an American researcher. Encyclopedias can’t record all of human knowledge but just some of it. They are always waiting for someone—you, perhaps—to improve them.
27．Before Pliny completed Historia Naturalis, ________ according to the passage.
A．nobody knew what Mars was B．there was no encyclopedia on Earth
C．nobody had considered walking a waste of time D．no Roman writer had completed an encyclopedia
28．The underlined word “declared” (in Paragraph 3) means “________”.
A．made B．said C．created D．laughed
29．The writer expects his readers to ________.
A．improve an encyclopedia
B．find all the mistakes in Historia Naturalis
C．complete the task of editing an encyclopedia
D．take a look at the world’s biggest encyclopedia
D
David Strayer never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. Strayer is a famous psychologist at the University of Utah. His research (研究) shows that, when driving using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol.
Strayer and other scientists warn against multitasking (多任务处理). When we do many things at the same time, Strayer says our brain becomes tired easily. So we may make mistakes and lose focus (专注). Dr. Gloria Mark, a digital media researcher, a teenager spends between 7 and 11 hours a day in front of a screen—doing homework, texting, watching videos—often all at the same time. However, when we spend hours on digital devices, our overall productivity decreases (下降).
Many digital activities require high levels of concentration (专注力). When we text or email someone, for example, we need to use even more energy. Too much multitasking reduces our ability to think clearly and creatively. This can result in stress.
What is the best way to help us lower too much stress David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature.
Strayer and other scientists are studying nature’s effect (影响) on our brains and bodies. When we are in natural environment, the brain’s control center relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they do better on different tasks.
Other psychologists are also studying “nature therapy (疗法)”. In a study at Chiba University in Japan, a researcher named Yoshifumi Miyazaki found that forests walkers did better than the city walkers. He has an explanation for these results. “Our bodies relax in the natural environment,” he says, “Humans evolved (进化) in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic. This allows our brains to rest and recover from the stresses of city life. Imagine a therapy that could improve your cognitive ability at zero cost. Why not try it at once ”
30．What can we learn from the passage
A．Research shows that spending time in nature can reduce stress.
B．Long working hours is the main reason to rising levels of stress.
C．More people today are improving their natural environment.
D．For a better life, people should move away from cities.
31．An example of multitasking is ________.
A．watching a movie with a group of friends B．taking a lot of photos during a visit to a park
C．visiting a number of cities during a road trip D．making a phone call while typing an email
32．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Why people often play games to reduce stress. B．Why certain activities require a lot of focus.
C．How multitasking causes pressure. D．What multitasking means.
33．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．A Way to Avoid Multitasking B．A Natural Therapy
C．The Effects of Multitasking D．The Importance of Concentration

本部分共5题, 共20分。根据题目要求, 完成相应任务。
四、 阅读表达(共10分, 第1-3题每小题2分, 第4小题4分)
The world is developing fast because of technology and its uses in our lives. This means that the jobs we have now are changing, and that there will be new jobs in the future. What’s more, you won’t be in the same job your whole working life. It’ll be more likely that you will change jobs every few years—especially when you’re early in your job.
There are ways to be prepared for the future jobs by building different job skills. It’s a good idea to start developing these skills early, so you will be ready to jump into these future jobs as they appear.
Understanding Digital (数字的) Information
Everything is becoming more digital, which means understanding digital information will be important to success in the future jobs. You need to know how to understand and use digital technologies—both software, and hardware—as well as knowing how to read and understand a lot of online information.
If you can understand and use digital information, you will be able to learn it quickly and use it to solve problems and make decisions.
Being Creative (独创的)
No technology can match the creativity of the human mind, and many future jobs will need people to come up with new ideas and put these ideas into real use. This means it is very important to think creatively about problems. If you can imagine ways to solve problems and make new products, you are more likely to be successful in the future jobs.
Keeping Learning
As new technologies and new jobs appear, it will be more important than ever to be willing to learn new things. Those who can’t or won’t adapt (适应) to these changes will simply get left behind.
The workplace is changing fast, and will continue to change. New digital technologies will change nearly every job. So, you should take every chance to learn new skills and technologies, take training classes, and spend time researching and studying up on things that interest you or will be useful for your future jobs.
34．What are the changes in jobs with the development of technology
35．How can people be prepared for future jobs according to the passage
36．What is the possible result of not adapting to the changes in future jobs
37．How will you get ready for the future job Why

34．根据“This means that the jobs we have now are changing, and that there will be new jobs in the future. What’s more, you won’t be in the same job your whole working life. It’ll be more likely that you will change jobs every few years—especially when you’re early in your job.”可知未来会有新工作，也不会一辈子只做同一个工作，也有可能每几年就换一次工作，故填There will be new jobs and you won’t be in the same job your whole working life./There will be new jobs./You won’t be in the same job your whole working life./It’ll be more likely that you will change jobs every few years.
35．根据“There are ways to be prepared for the future jobs by building different job skills.”、“Understanding Digital (数字的) Information”、“Being Creative (独创的)”和“Keeping Learning”可知人们可以掌握不同工作的技能、理解数字信息、拥有创造力和持续学习来为未来的工作做准备，故填By building different job skills./People need understand digital information, be creative and keep learning./Understand digital information/be creative/keep learning.
36．根据“Those who can’t or won’t adapt (适应) to these changes will simply get left behind.”可知不能适应未来变化的人会落后于人，故填Getting left behind./People/They will get left behind.
37．开放性题型，答案合理即可。故填I will keep learning new skills and technologies to get ready for the future job, because new jobs will appear in the future. If I don’t keep up with the new skills and technologies, I will fall behind.
38．例文：
There are many chances for us to try new things in our life.
Last term, there was a speech competition in our school. I never entered a speech competition because I was afraid to speak in public. With encouragement from my parents, I decided to give it a try. To prepare for the competition, I studied some speech videos carefully. Then I wrote my speech, and practiced delivering it again and again. Finally, I gave an excellent performance and won the third place. From this experience, I’ve learned that it’s meaningful to try something new. It can help us find and develop our hidden talents and become more confident as well.
