2.Online purchases have soared during the Chinese New Year holiday.
It's the dead of winter in Shanghai.Delivery man Liu Jia and his colleagues start the day when most of people are still asleep.Working at a distribution point of a shopping website in Shanghai,they promise to deliver products within three hours of an order being placed."I buy most of my grocery online,especially the heavy items.It's convenient and cheap compared to the supermarket in my neighborhood,"Customer Chen Hong said.Orders such as these have increased for the New Year,forcing Liu Jia to work around the clock."The orders are usually rice,laundry detergent(洗涤剂),tissue paper and snacks,mostly food and articles for everyday use,"Liu Jia said.
According to an industry report,China's B2C (Business to Customer) online sales are growing at an annual rate of 25percent.Competition between online giants like Taobao and Jingdong is now fiercer than ever."The  essence of online shopping is that customers can buy products easily.So the competition is about:firstly,the range of products; secondly,the depth under each category of products; third,the price and user experience,"Pan Biao,vice president of YHD.com,said.E-commerce is one of China's fastest growing sectors.It's changed people's buying habits,and even their living habits.And it's had a huge impact on the retail industry.To make online shopping more convenient,major sites are investing heavily to build payment systems and logistics(物流)networks.
On average,a retailer now can deliver goods to the majority of cities within 3days,and to towns and more remote areas in the country within a week."Competition will produce a number of good companies,making better products and services that customers need.In the field of E-commerce,we are leading the world in terms of products,services and industry development,"Liu Yinbin,associate professor with Dept of Information Management,Shanghai University,said.Experts also say customers are increasingly making their online purchases from mobile devices,opening up vast new opportunities and competition for retailers.

32.All of the following about Liu Jia are true EXCEPT thatA.
A.he works as an online store owner in Shanghai
B.he has to work around the clock to deliver so many products
C.he starts working when most of people are still asleep
D.he must deliver products within three hours of an order being placed

B.Online shopping increases rapidly for Chinese New Year.
C.Most customers buy food and articles for everyday use.

分析 本文主要介绍了在中国传统节日-春节期间网上购物急剧增加这一现象.在春节假期期间,网上购物猛增. 送货人刘佳和他的同事们开始新的一天时而大多数人还在睡梦中.他们承诺在三小时内发出订单交付产品.新一年的订单增加,迫使刘佳日夜以继日地工作. 根据行业报告,中国的B2C(商家对客户)在线销售的增长率大约是百分之二十五.网络巨头如淘宝和京东之间的竞争现在比以往更激烈了.网上购物改变了人们的消费习惯,甚至他们的生活习惯,这是对零售业的巨大的影响.越来越多的客户进行在线购买移动设备,开辟广阔的新机遇和零售商的竞争.

解答 32.A 细节理解题.根据第二段中的第二句话"Delivery man Liu Jia and his colleagues start the day when most of people are still asleep.送货人刘佳和他的同事们开始新的一天时大多数人仍然在睡觉."可知刘佳是一名快递员工,而不是电商老板,与原文表达的意思不相符,故答案选A.根据第二段的倒数第二句话"Orders such as these have increased for the New Year,forcing Liu Jia to work around the clock.新一年的订单增加,迫使刘佳日以继夜的工作."可知选项B与原文意思相符合.根据第二段的第二句话"Delivery man Liu Jia and his colleagues start the day when most of people are still asleep."可知选项C与原文的意思相符合.根据第二段的第三句话"they promise to deliver products within three hours of an order being placed."可知选项D与原文意思相符合.
33.B 词义猜测题.根据后面的表语从句"that customers can buy products easily提到消费者可以更容易买到产品"可知是对前面该词的解释,故advantage意为"优点"与该词意思相近,可知答案选B.
34.D 推理判断题.根据最后一段中"Competition will produce a number of good companies,making better products and services that customers need竞争将产生一些好的公司,提供客户需要的更好的产品和服务"一句可知Liu Yinbin认为竞争是有好处的,故答案D正确.
35.B 标题判断题. 根据文章的第一段"Online purchases have soared during the Chinese New Year holiday.在春节假期期间,网上购物已经飙升."和下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了在中国传统节日-春节期间网上购物急剧增加这一现象.故答案B正确.其他三项只是在文章中的某个段落中做了阐述,可作为文章主旨大意的论据来用.

点评 本文是政治经济类阅读.政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取"顺读法",以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取"逆读法",先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息.若遇到的确难读的材料.
1.寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解.找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半.
2.剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分.
3.辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中.
4.寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思.

4.The most complex object known to humanity is the human brain-and not only is it complex,but it is one of the few natural phenomena that science has no consciousness of.To try to replicate (复制) something that is so poorly understood may therefore seem like pride.But you have to start somewhere,and International Business Machines (IBM) and the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL),in Switzerland,propose to start by replicating"in silico",one of the brain's building blocks.
In a partnership announced,the two organizations said they would be working together to build a simulation (模拟) of a structure known as a neo-cortical(新大脑皮质的)column on a type of IBM supercomputer that is currently used to study the molecular functioning of genes.If that works,they plan to use more powerful computers to link such simulated columns together into something that mimics(模仿) a brain.
In a real brain,a neo-cortical column is a cylindrical(圆柱形的)element about a third of a millimeter in diameter and three millimeters long.It is these columns,arranged side by side like the cells of a honeycomb,which make up the famous"grey matter"that has become shorthand for human intelligence.The Blue Gene/L supercomputer that will be used for the simulation consists of enough independent processors for each to be programmed to mimic an individual nerve cell in a column.
The EPFL's contribution to the Blue Brain Project will be to create a digital description of how the columns behave.The database from its Brain Mind Institute will provide the raw material for the simulation.Biologists and computer scientists will then connect the artificial nerve cells up in a way that mimics nature.They will do so by assigning electrical properties(电能)to them,and telling them how to communicate with each other and how they should modify their connections with one another depending on their activity.
That will be no mean feat.Even a single nerve cell is complicated,not least because each one has about 10,000connections with others.And nerve cells come in great variety-relying,for example,on different chemical transmitters to carry messages across those connections.Eventually,however,a digital representation of an entire column Should occur.
Assuming that the growth of computing power continues to follow Moore's Law,the leader of IBM's side thinks it should be practical to mimic an entire human brain in silico this way in ten to fifteen years.Such an artificial brain would,of course,be a powerful research tool.It would allow neurological experiments that currently take days in a"web lab"to be conducted in seconds.The researchers hope that their simulated brain will reveal the secrets of how certain psychiatric and neurological,disorders develop.But that is probably not the real reason for doing it.The most interesting question,surely,is whether such an artificial brain will be intelligent,or conscious,or both.

62.In a real brain,a neo-cortical columnD.
A.looks like the cells of a honeycomb
B.is a simulation of a structure
C.is the famous"grey matter"
D.contains a large number of nerve cells
63.What does the underlined sentence"That will be no mean feat"in Paragraph 5indicate?A
A.It is rather difficult to connect the artificial nerve ceils up.
B.The function of chemical transmitters is hard to understand.
C.A digital representation of an entire column is time-consuming.
D.A single nerve cell is complicated to identify across connections.
64.The fundamental purpose of doing the research is probablyC.
A.to simulate an entire human brain in silico
B.to tell us how some certain disorders emerge
C.to discover how the artificial brain would work
D.to examine whether Moore's Law is still functioning
65.What type of writing is this passage?B
A.A science fiction                  
B.A research report
C.An official document              
D.A computer advertisement.
