1.Adam Smith, a writer in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England."One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform. two or three of them."Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce, more of what they already have.According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to______.A.take advantage of the division of laborB.explain the causes of the division of laborC.understand the effects of the division of laborD.introduce the division of labor into England

参考答案和解析
正确答案: C
解析:
全文围绕分工理论的产生、影响展开,介绍了亚当·斯密是如何发明这一理论,这一理论又是如何带来工业革命的变革,影响人们生活至今。B项“工业革命及其意义”,工业革命只是一个产物,不全面,C项偏离主题,如果以D项为题,这篇文章就成了一篇个人传记。故选A。

    B.Images Matter Less Today Than in the Past
    C.Democracy Has Lost Its Appeal Nowadays
    D.Images in the Information Age

    答案:A
    解析:
    主旨题。文章意在展示信息时代影像的影响力,说明人们总是容易相信眼睛看到的东西。故本题选A。参考译文:如果我们能弄清楚朝鲜在网上发布的那些令人费解的视频有何含义,也许我们在应对朝鲜的核挑衅行为时能更自如些。朝鲜最近发布的一段视频中出现了如下内容:一名正在做梦的男子、一些朝鲜文字、起火的摩天大楼,以及正飞越太空的火箭。视频的背景音乐是钢琴家弹奏的《天下一家》,节奏处理得很哀婉。这是一种无害的幻想,还是一种正式的挑战?针对这一视频西方是否应该发表声明回应?西方是不是也应该发布一段自己的视频?这些问题很难回答。传统媒体正在被互联网“取代”。然而,信息经济释放的“信息”往往难以解读,炮制这些“信息”的目的也难以辨明。电影研究学者斯蒂芬·阿普康在本周出版的《影像时代》一书中称,如今可以探讨一种建立在解读此类非语言信息基础上的新型“读写能力”。阿普康这本书往低了说是关于电影“语言”的,但该书还蕴含着更深的哲学思想。如今,我们的文化日益全球化。尽管文化依然依赖于文字,但文字已越来越多地被包含在影像中,最终留在人们记忆中的也是影像。南加州大学电影艺术学院院长伊丽莎白·戴利认为,写作在今天的地位与文艺复兴前夕的拉丁语类似,是一种学术界使用的语言。YouTube网站上的视频以及其他影像材料则相当于当时的意大利语。它们都是人们日常使用的语言,也是许多创新思维的媒介。一直以来,形象在公共辩论中所起的作用比我们承认的要大。几乎没人在乎理查德·尼克松在1960年与约翰·肯尼迪的总统辩论中整体发言质量略胜一筹,他们只看到这位共和党人胡子拉碴、仪容不整。阿普康援引一位神经科学家的话说,人们如此习惯于捕捉一些微妙的信号,以至于他们往往在看到政治人物的第一眼就“立刻”决定自己是否喜欢这个人。而如今,那些情感冲击力巨大、直观的非语言信息能够得到更广泛的传播。比如,2009年6月,在伊朗总统选举不合法引发抗议期间,一个名叫娜达·萨勒什·阿哈·索尔丹的女孩被枪杀的视频传遍了全世界。而在那部令观众动容的纪录片《科尼2012》(该视频在6天内被浏览了1亿次)中,一些美国政治积极分子呼吁军方逮捕一个乌干达军阀。阿普康指出,视觉是人类最信任的感官,因此需要谨慎对待。当前存在一种挥之不去的危险,就是那些虐待过程的影像可能令公众极度不安,促使他们要求政府出兵。这可以说正是1992年索马里大饥荒时的情况,当时美国在仓促间决定对索马里进行军事干预。阿普康表示,将来我们可能需要“同时具备怀疑精神和敏锐的判断力”,让民众能够“比较辩证地评论呈现在自己面前的内容”。但这一点很难实现。当影像激发出来的情感与语言的论证逻辑得出同一结论时,人们通常能够轻易做出决定。然而当两者的结论相互抵触时,人们必然会偏向其中一方。直到最近,国家治理、学生研究和司法判决的核心才将我们的强烈感情从谨慎思维中净化出来。然而,如今的影像极度丰富和富有冲击力,已经主导了我们的思维过程。尽管阿普康喜欢YouTube的即时性,但他担心,政治宣传人员很快就将学会编造故事来满足“隐藏的心理需求”,从而轻易操控选民。民众对投票的看法有两种。第一种是基于身份来投票。你是农民,那么你就投票给最偏向农民的候选人。第二种则是基于观点来投票,而不是考虑自己的身份。你认为销售税应该取代所得税,那么你就投票给持相同观点的候选人。然而,现在这种基于影像的沟通过程,与身份或观点几乎没什么关系。这种过程只与“最低公分母原则”有关,在这种原则下,你只是一种叫做人类的动物而已。对这个问题没什么显而易见的解决办法。就算我们拥有阿普康所说的怀疑精神,某种特定机制在感知、吸收和解释信息时会“带有”特定风格。你可能不会觉得印刷机与“新教”有任何关联。然而印刷机似乎是新教兴起的先决条件。与此类似,我们的民主制度尽管不太完美,却代表了文字文化发展的顶峰。阿普康告诉我们,在1960年的几次总统辩论中,肯尼迪“利用了一种能够操纵心理的东西,比起单纯的事实,这种东西具有更为原始的力量”。回想起来,那是个不祥的时刻。一旦你发现了这种东西,民主制度岂不是注定会丧失一些吸引力?就像一部你已预知结局的侦探小说一样。

    What could be the most appropriate title for the passage?( )

    A.Cyber Crime and Its Prevention
    B.The Origin of Cyber Crime
    C.How to Deal with Cyber Crime
    D.The Definition of Cyber Crime

    答案:A
    解析:
    主旨题。本文第一、二段简要地描述了“网络空间”一词的起源并概述了互联网的发展,第三、四段主要讲述互联网的潜在风险,五至八段讲如何抵御风险。A项能较好地概括,其余三项都只描述了其中一个方面。因此A项作为文章标题更加恰当。故本题选A。参考译文:“网络空间”一词是由科幻作家威廉·吉布森提出的。1982年,他第一次在短篇小说中使用该词,几年后,在小说《神经漫游者》中,吉布森对其进行了扩展,小说的主角亨利·多塞特·凯斯是一名陷入困境的电脑黑客和吸毒者。吉布森在书中将网络空间描述为“数十亿合法运营商每天都在经历的交感的幻觉”,以及“从人类系统中每台计算机的数据库中提取的数据的图形展示”。事实证明,他的文学创作非常有先见之明。网络空间已经成为计算设备、网络、光纤电缆、无线连接和其他基础设施的象征,它们为全球数十亿人带来了互联网。这些技术形成的无数联系为所有每日使用网络来挖掘人类集体知识宝库的人带来了巨大好处。但是这项非凡的发明也有不好的一面。数据泄露变得越来越广泛,越来越普遍。去年,由于网络遭到攻击,超过8亿条记录丢失。最近最突出的受害者之一是美国大型零售商塔吉特百货,其首席执行官格雷戈·斯坦哈夫尔在披露黑客窃取了数百万客户的网络数据的几个月后,于5月辞职。这些数据包括信用卡和借记卡的详细信息。其他知名公司,如技术公司奥多比和在线市场易趣,也受到了冲击。然而,潜在的危害远不止这种商业入侵。美国国家安全局(NSA)承包商爱德华斯诺登(Edward Snowden)对西方情报机构大规模曝光监控录像,越来越多视网络空间为新战争领域的国家招募“互联网斗士”,引发了更广泛的担忧。保护网络空间是一件很难的事,因为互联网的架构是为了促进联通,而不是安全。发明互联网的人只考虑过可行性,并未考虑其可能受到的风险,因为它隶属美国军方。随着黑客的出现,人类从安装防毒软件到设置防火墙,想尽了办法试图阻止它们。总的来说,这些防御措施相当有效。尽管人们一直在谈论“网络9·11”风险,但事实证明,互联网具有很强的恢复力。数亿人每天打开电脑,进行网上交易,逛虚拟商店,在社交网络上与朋友交换八卦和照片,并在网上发送各种敏感数据,却不会产生不良影响。公司和政府正在转移越来越多的在线服务。但是任务变得越来越难了。涉及保护数据和人员的网络安全面临多重威胁,尤其是在网络犯罪和在线工业间谍活动方面。有很多方法可以让我们更加安全,一是确保组织获得网络安全的基础知识。很多情况往往是由简单的失误造成的,例如未能将包含敏感数据的系统与无需访问它们的系统分开。公司还需要更好地预测攻击可能来自哪里,并快速调整防御机制以应对新的威胁。技术也可以有所帮助,允许企业相互分享风险情报的行业举措也有所帮助。不仅如此,还需要采取激励措施加强网络安全。一种方法是鼓励互联网服务提供商或管理互联网连接的公司承担更多的责任来识别和帮助清理被恶意软件感染的计算机。另一种是找到方法,确保软件开发人员写出的代码缺陷更少,这样黑客可利用的安全漏洞就会更少。

  • 第16题:

    The Industrial Revolution (1780-1830)


    正确答案:Britain was the first country to industrialize because of the following factors:
    (1) Favorable geographical location. Britain was well placed geographically to participate in European and world trade;
    (2) Political stability. Britain had a peaceful society, which, after the 17th century, was increasingly interested in overseas trade and colonies. International trade brought wealth to merchants and city bankers. They and those who had done well out of new farming methods provided capital in large quantities for industrialization.
    (3) Good foundation in economy. The limited monarchy which resulted from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 ensured that the powerful economic interests in the community could exert their influence over Government policy.
    (4) It was a country in which the main towns were never too far from seaports, or from rivers, which could distribute their products.
    (5) Britain had many rivers, which were useful for transport but also for water and steam power.
    Britain also had useful mineral resources.
    (6) British engineers had sound training as craftsmen.
    (7) The inventors were respected. They solved practical problems.
    (8) Probably laissez faire and “Protestant work ethic” helped.。
    (9) England, Scotland, and Wales formed a customs union after 1707 and this included Ireland after 1807. So the national market was not hindered by internal customs barriers.
    (10) The enclosures and other improvements in agriculture made their contributions by providing food for the rising population, labor for the factories, and some of the raw materials needed by industry.

The dimensions of the Information Revolution and its limitless possibilities are widely accepted and generally understood, even by lay people.

We can accelerate the most powerful engine of growth and prosperity the world has ever known, or allow the engine to stall.
