The agency sent me ut n a few auditins, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew mre depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided t fcus n cmmercial (广告) mdeling. There was an pen call in New Yrk City. We spent hurs driving and anther few hurs waiting, nly t be tld that I was t shrt I was devastated (感到难以承受的).
Years later Ire zed that the trip t New Yrk was gd as it made me ntice I didn’t actually lve mdeling, just the idea f it. I wanted t be special and I was inncently determined t reach an impssible gal. The experience has made me strnger and that will help me in the future.

The term “graffiti” is an Italian wrd meaning scratching r scribbling(乱涂). It entered the English language in the 1850s, specifically t describe the casual wall writing that experts fund in Pmpeii and the Rman tmbs. Originally a term used nly in ancient scribbling, the wrd has undergne cnsiderable expansin f meaning in the past 75 years s that it nw refers t any written message n a wall. Graffiti are characterized by their casualness; if they were mre frmal, they wuld be knwn as inscriptins(铭文).
The first piece f graffiti was fund n ne f the walls f the city Pmpeii which was destryed by the eruptin f Munt Vesuvius in 79 AD. It was ne f 1,600 pieces f graffiti uncvered in Pmpeii during a dig in the 19th century. Nt surprisingly, there is much evidence f graffiti writing n the pyramid and temples f ancient Egypt. It is likely that ever since peple have had walls and materials t scratch r paint with, they have been engaged in this simplest frm f cmmunicatin.
The writing f graffiti gives peple a unique pprtunity t achieve sme kind f public audience. Thus shrt pems, declaratins f lve, pieces f plitical and revlutinary plemic(论战), and criticisms f institutins and peple frm a significant part f graffiti.
Apart frm its usefulness in terms f self-expressin, graffiti is als a valuable surce fr histrians. There is always the pssibility that histrical events may be recrded by the presence f graffiti. Perhaps the mst interesting example f this is the graffiti relating t the gladiatrial(角斗士) cntests held in Pmpeii. Graffiti can als give us a unique view int the daily life and custms f a peple, fr its casual expressin encurages the recrding f details that mre frmal writing wuld tend t ignre.
In the late 1970s, graffiti became ppular. A thught written n a tilet wall in Wlverhamptn can nw be read in Chicag r Adelaide. In its wn way, this is prbably the mst fascinating example f McLuhan’s cncept f “the glbal village”. We nw have a wrldwide tilet wall.
46. Accrding t the first paragraph, graffiti________.
A. is anther name fr “inscriptin”
B. gt its name frm the English language
C. was brn in the 1850s
D. Mainly refers t casual writing r pictures n walls
47. What can be inferred frm the secnd paragraph?
A. Graffiti has a lng histry.
B Graffiti is an attractive frm f art.
C. Graffiti made the ancient city Pmpeii famus.
D. Graffiti was ancient Egyptian’s main way f cmmunicatin.
48. What des the third and furth paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. Graffiti’s great value.
B. Graffiti’s features.
C. Graffiti’s way f expressin.
D. Graffiti’s cnnectin with peple’s daily life.
49. The graffiti relating t the gladiatrial cntests is mentined in the passage t prve that ______.
A. graffiti can shw peple’s custms
B. graffiti can prvide valuable histrical evidence
C. graffiti was mainly used t recrd imprtant events
D. graffiti can prvide mre detailed infrmatin than frmal writing

Sme peple wrry that there’s t much technlgy in ur lives. And they may have a pint, given hw cuntless peple nw carry the internet arund in their pcket and use it as a primary frm f cmmunicatin. It’s practically difficult t shun technlgy in ur wrld. There are cmputer micrchips (微芯片) in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain peple have their way, it’ll g even further. We’ll have micrchips implanted int ur brains that can interact with the cmputers by thught alne. It may sund like smething frm the science fictin, but in many ways, things lk quite prmising. Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers, micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.
Fr example, electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical (神经病学的) activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like -Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin.
Hwever, it’s anther thing t place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical cncerns, nt least f which is what these chips will be made f. The inside f the brain is a mass f highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants wuld need t be inert (静止的) enugh t nt upset the delicate prcesses by their presence, but als sensitive enugh t read and prcess the activity arund them. Current technlgy has made impressive prgress with this, but if it were t be rlled ut t millins f peple, we’d need t be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
Hw many peple will actually want t have technlgy literally put int their brain? A surprising 60 per cent f Americans say they’d be kay with it, but that’s when it’s purely. theretical. In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists.
Ultimately, the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away frm us.
51. What’s the functin f the first paragraph?
A. A summary f the article.B. An intrductin t the main tpic.
C. An verview f the whle article.D. An argument ver the main tpic.
52. What des the underlined wrd “implanted” mean in paragraph 2?
A. T put smething int smene’s bdy by an peratin.
B. T design smething new ver a perid f time.
C. T prevent smething frm changing rapidly.
D. T get rid f smething steadily.
53. What des the authr want t tell us by the examples in paragraph 3?
A. The prcess f human-cmputer interactin.
B. The pssible treatment fr particular diseases.
C. The future f micrchips and devices alike.
D. The existing applicatin f micrchip implants.
54. Hw may mst Americans react t implanting chips in the brain in reality?
A. They may reject it.B. They may expect it.
C. They may adjust t it.D. They may feel curius abut it,
55. Which wrd can best describe the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface implants?
A. Imaginary.B. Practical.
C. Unfulfilled.D. Impssible.

The first piece f graffiti was fund n ne f the walls f the city Pmpeii, which was destryed by the eruptin f Munt Vesuvius in 79 AD. It was ne f 1,600 pieces f graffiti uncvered in Pmpeii during a dig in the 19th century. Nt surprisingly, there is much evidence f graffiti writing n the pyramid and temples f ancient Egypt. It is likely that ever since peple have had walls and materials t scratch r paint with, they have been engaged in this simplest frm f cmmunicatin.
The writing f graffiti gives peple a unique pprtunity t achieve sme kind f public audience. Thus shrt pems, declaratins f lve, pieces f plitical and revlutinary plemic(论战), and criticisms f institutins and peple frm a significant part f graffiti.
Apart frm its usefulness in terms f self-expressin, graffiti is als a valuable surce fr histrians. There is always the pssibility that histrical events may be recrded by the presence f graffiti. Perhaps the mst interesting example f this is the graffiti relating t the gladiatrial(角斗士) cntests held in Pmpeii. Graffiti can als give us a unique view int the daily life and custms f a peple, fr its casual expressin encurages the recrding f details that mre frmal writing wuld tend t ignre.
In the late 1970s, graffiti became ppular. A thught written n a tilet wall in Wlverhamptn can nw be read in Chicag r Adelaide. In its wn way, this is prbably the mst fascinating example f McLuhan’s cncept f “the glbal village”. We nw have a wrldwide tilet wall.

Sme peple wrry that there’s t much technlgy in ur lives. And they may have a pint, given hw cuntless peple nw carry the internet arund in their pcket and use it as a primary frm f cmmunicatin. It’s practically difficult t shun technlgy in ur wrld. There are cmputer micrchips (微芯片) in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets! Where will it end?
Well, if certain peple have their way, it’ll g even further. We’ll have micrchips implanted int ur brains that can interact with the cmputers by thught alne. It may sund like smething frm the science fictin, but in many ways, things lk quite prmising. Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers, micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.
Fr example, electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical (神经病学的) activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like -Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin.
Hwever, it’s anther thing t place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical cncerns, nt least f which is what these chips will be made f. The inside f the brain is a mass f highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants wuld need t be inert (静止的) enugh t nt upset the delicate prcesses by their presence, but als sensitive enugh t read and prcess the activity arund them. Current technlgy has made impressive prgress with this, but if it were t be rlled ut t millins f peple, we’d need t be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.
Hw many peple will actually want t have technlgy literally put int their brain? A surprising 60 per cent f Americans say they’d be kay with it, but that’s when it’s purely. theretical. In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists.
Ultimately, the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away frm us.
51. What’s the functin f the first paragraph?
A. A summary f the article.B. An intrductin t the main tpic.
C. An verview f the whle article.D. An argument ver the main tpic.
52. What des the underlined wrd “implanted” mean in paragraph 2?
A. T put smething int smene’s bdy by an peratin.
B. T design smething new ver a perid f time.
C. T prevent smething frm changing rapidly.
D. T get rid f smething steadily.
53. What des the authr want t tell us by the examples in paragraph 3?
A. The prcess f human-cmputer interactin.
B. The pssible treatment fr particular diseases.
C. The future f micrchips and devices alike.
D. The existing applicatin f micrchip implants.
54. Hw may mst Americans react t implanting chips in the brain in reality?
A. They may reject it.B. They may expect it.
C. They may adjust t it.D. They may feel curius abut it,
55. Which wrd can best describe the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface implants?

【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There are cmputer micrchips (微芯片) in ur watches, ur cars, light switches, even ur pets!(我们的手表、汽车、电灯开关、甚至我们的宠物里都有计算机微芯片！)”可知，第一段提到电脑芯片在人们日常生活中已经是普遍存在，从这些事实引发思考：“Where will it end?(它将在哪里结束？)”，从而引出本文的话题：将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。故选B。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“micrchips(微芯片)”，“int ur brains(进入我们的大脑)”和“Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers, micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.(由于能够通过计算机远程发送和接收信息，微芯片和其他相关设备早就被植入大脑。)”可知，微芯片是被植入大脑，划线词implanted的意思是 “植入”，和A选项“T put smething int smene’s bdy by an peratin(通过手术把某物放入某人体内)”意思相近，故选A。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段中“Thanks t the ability t send and receive infrmatin remtely via cmputers, micrchips and ther related devices have lng been put int brains.(由于能够通过计算机远程发送和接收信息，微芯片和其他相关设备早就被植入大脑。)”和第三段“Fr example, electrdes have been implanted in the brains f epilepsy patients t better recrd and even predict the abnrmal neurlgical (神经病学的) activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulatin, thrugh implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regins, is an established treatment fr things like -Parkinsn’s disease, and is even being lked int fr illnesses like depressin.(例如，电极被植入癫痫患者的大脑中，以更好地记录甚至预测异常的神经活动。同样，通过植入设备引起大脑关键区域活动的脑深部刺激，是治疗帕金森病等疾病的既定治疗方法，甚至正在研究治疗抑郁症等疾病。)”可推知，作者想通过例子说明微芯片植入的现有应用。故选D。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段“In reality, the pssibility f having strangers stick chips in yur brain is likely t prve unattractive, especially fr a ppulatin where millins get mad at fictinal micrchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even mre are frightened f dentists.(在现实中，让陌生人在你的大脑中植入芯片的可能性很可能被证明是没有吸引力的，尤其是对一个数百万人对疫苗中虚构的微芯片感到愤怒，甚至更多人害怕牙医的人群来说。)”可知，在现实中，大多数美国人可能会拒绝对在大脑中植入芯片。故选A。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the technlgy f cmputer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away frm us.(最终，计算机-大脑接口植入技术离我们还很遥远。)”可推知，计算机与大脑接口植入技术还未实现。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章描述了一起在飓风过后，通过交互式航拍地图发现求救信号并成功救援的真实事件。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“As reprted by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA’s interactive aerial map (交互式航拍地图) t check the damage dne t her and her family’s hmes when she sptted the wrd “H-E-L-P” spelled ut in the yard.(据美国广播公司新闻报道，当吉发现院子里拼写出“H-E-L-P”这个词时，她正在使用美国国家海洋和大气管理局的交互式航空地图检查对她和她家人的房屋造成的损害)”可知，Gee用地图应用检查飓风迈克尔给她和她的家庭造成的损失。故填T check Hurricane Michael’s damage t her and her family’s hmes.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“The NOAA website allws thse impacted in the hurricane t get a lk at specific streets r hmes by zming in n (用变焦距镜头拉近) aerial imagery f the affected area.(美国国家海洋和大气管理局的网站允许受飓风影响的人们通过放大受影响地区的航空图像来查看特定的街道或房屋)”可知，受飓风影响的人可以查看NOAA网站上受灾地区的航拍照片。故填Victims f the hurricane. Or: Thse affected/impacted in the hurricane.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Thugh her grandmther had evacuated, several ther family members, including Gee’s uncle and his wife, had stayed behind.(虽然她的祖母已经撤离，但其他几个家庭成员，包括吉的叔叔和他的妻子，都留下来了)”以及第四段“Her uncle, Ernest, had reprtedly used wd frm ne f thse trees t spell ut the message.(据报道，她的叔叔Ernest用其中一棵树上的木头拼出了这个信息)”可知，Ernest，Amber Gee的叔叔拼出“救命”来呼救。故填Ernest. Or:Amber Gee’s uncle.
【59题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据前文“Smene frm anther cunty was using the mapping app t check prperty in rural Bay Cunty and nticed the wrd ‘help’ spelled ut in the grass in wd. That persn immediately cntacted us and sent the picture(另一个县的人在使用这款地图应用查看海湾县农村地区的房产时，注意到树林里的草地上写着“help”这个词。那个人立即联系了我们，发了照片)”可知，看到有人需要救助，应是派出了紧急救援人员，推知dispatched意为“派送”之意，和sent意思相近。故填Sent.
【60题详解】
开放性问题。根据第一段“After being evacuated (疏散) frm her Flrida hme fllwing Hurricane Michael, Amber Ge e was attempting t get an idea f the destructin left behind when she discvered a sign f truble. As reprted by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA’s interactive aerial map (交互式航拍地图) t check the damage dne t her and her family’s hmes when she sptted the wrd “H-E-L-P” spelled ut in the yard.(飓风“迈克尔”过后，Amber Gee从佛罗里达的家中被疏散出来，当她发现有麻烦的迹象时，她正试图了解留下的破坏情况。据美国广播公司新闻报道，当吉发现院子里拼写出“H-E-L-P”这个词时，她正在使用美国国家海洋和大气管理局的交互式航空地图检查对她和她家人的房屋造成的损害)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了飓风过后，人们的应对方式，所以从本文中我们学到：面对自然灾害，我们不应惊慌失措；相反，我们应该尽一切努力拯救自己；结合Gee使用地图应用，在紧急服务部门的帮助下救了她的家人，所以我们应该充分利用现代技术来处理。故填We shuld nt panic in the face f natural disasters; instead we shuld try every means t save urselves. Or: Gee used the mapping app and saved her family with the help f Emergency Services, s we shuld make full use f mdern technlgy.
