Passage Two-|||-Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.-|||-Is science infinite?Can it keep giving us profound insights into the world forever? Or is it already bumping-|||-into limits? In his 2011 book The Beginning of Infinity physicist David Deutsch made the case for-|||-boundlessness.When I asked him about consciousness,he re think nothing worth understanding will-|||-always remain a mystery.And consciousness apems a understanding."-|||-At a meeting I just attended in Switzerland,"The Mystery of Human Consciousness,"anot famous-|||-British physicist,Martin Rees,challenged Deutsch`s optimism.In that essay Rees calls The Beginning of-|||-Infinity"provocative and excellent but disputes Deutsch`s central claim that science is boundless.Science-|||-will hit the buffers(缓冲区)at some point,"Rees warns.-|||-There are two reasons why this might happen. The optimistic one is that we clean up and understand-|||-certain areas (such as atomic physics)to the point that there`s no more to say.A second,more worrying-|||-possibility is that we`ll reach the limits of what our brains can grasp. There might be concepts,crucial to a full-|||-understanding of physical reality.Efforts to understand very complex systems,such as our own brains,might-|||-well be the first to hit such limits. Perhaps complex collectives of at whether brains or electronic-|||-machines,can never know all there is to know about themselves.-|||-The riddle of consciousness is a synecdoche for the riddle of humanity.What are we,really?For most of-|||-our history,religion has given us the answer.We are immortal souls,striving to reach heaven.Most modern-|||-scientists reject these religious explanations,bu they cannot agree on an alternative.They have proposed a-|||-bewildering variety of answers to the question of what we really are.-|||-Science will never resolv these disagreements and c on a single, true theory of what we are,for-|||-two reasons. One is that we will never have a"consciousness meter,"an objective means of measuring-|||-consciousness in non-huma things. The other is that we are too varying,too creative, to be captured by a-|||-single theory. Science itself keeps transforming with technologies as dive as brain implants,genetic-|||-therapy and ideas as diverse as queer theory and integrated information th To be human means to be a-|||-work in progress.-|||-Deutsch`s claim that science is infinite also has a contradiction at its core.He wants science to solve the-|||-deepest mysteries, like consciousness,and yet to have more mysteries to solve,forever.That is a radical-|||-assertion about the structure of nature,which to my mind reflects wishful thinking rather than hardheaded-|||-realism.-|||-Deutsch is both wrong and right.He is wrong that science can solve every mystery,and especially-|||-consciousness.We will never understand,once and for all,who we are.But Deutsch is right that science is-|||-potentially infinite, if infinite means -ending is precisely because we can never achieve total self-|||-knowledge that we will keep seeking it forever.-|||-51.Which of the following statements may David Deutsch agree with?-|||-A)The case study of physics should be unlimited.-|||-B)The scientific mysteries are worth understanding.-|||-C)The puzzle of consciousness will be worked out.-|||-D)Science will finally hit a bottleneck somewhere.-|||-52.The real reason for science to"hit the buffers"may be that __ _.-|||-A)science will inevitably experience its bottleneck period-|||-B)the cognitive ability of humanity cannot be boundless-|||-C)people are overoptimist about the development of science-|||-D)complicated systems are unable to be fully understood-|||-53.According to the author,the riddle of consciousness __ --|||-A)has been properly worked out by religious theories-|||-B)is made more perplexed by modern science-|||-C)will be solved in science`s debate again religion-|||-D)is the utmost challenge of human understanding-|||-54.What does the author mean by saying"To be human means to be a work in progress." (IIees5-6,Para,5)?-|||-A)Human consciousness is hard to be measured.-|||-B)Human consciousness is fo advancing.-|||-C)Humanity is working hard to make progress.-|||-D)Humanity is always changi developing.-|||-55.What does the author think of Deutsch`s point of view?-|||-B)Completely irrational. D)Quite encouraging.-|||-A)Partially acceptable. C)Somewhat groundless.

A six-week old infant who died some 11,500 years ago in central Alaska is now providing clues about how the Americas first came to be populated. Genomic data from remains of the girl -named"Xach'itee'aanenhT'eedeGaay"(Sunrise Girl-Child) by the local indigenous community-broadly support a migration model that scientists have long argued for, while also revealing the existence of an ancient population previously unknown to science. The girl was a member of an ancient population that the report authors have named"Ancient Beringians". Beringia is the name given to Alaska, Eastern Siberia, and the land bridge that periodically connected the two during the last ice age. The findings suggest a re vised family tree:a single ancestral Native American group split from East Asians about 35 ,000 years ago, before later splitting, some 20,000 years ago, into two distinct groups. One was the Ancient Beringians, and the other constituted the ancestors of modern-day Native Americans, who later split into northern and southern populations about 15,700 years ago. "Trying to integrate these findings with what we know from archaeology (考古学)and paleoecology (古 生态学)presents exciting new puzzles,"says Ben Potter, an anthropologist (人类学家)at the University of Alaska."The peopling has been shown now to be more complex than we thought previously."Scientists have sought ancient human remains from Beringia at the end of the last ice age,but Xach'itee'aanenhT'eedeGaay's genome neid a surprise:1 t was clearly Native American, but not from either of the two major modern Native American groups. It represented a population that diverged from that common ancestor. All of this helps narrow down and strengthen the theories of just how those populations arrived in the Americas. But mysteries remain, including definitive answers about where and when some of these population splits occurred and which migration routes were used. Researchers outline two possible models. In one scenario,which Dr. Potter favors since it matches well with archaeological data and paleoecological data, the split occurred in Northeast Asia,and the two separate s later crossed over the land bridge prior to 15,700 years ago, when the Native American ancestors populauons she other theory, the ancestral population had already arrived in Alaska or eastern berngia by split again. 1 20,000 years ago, and the split occurred there,with the second split into North and South American populations occurring south of the ice sheets. What happened to the Ancient Beringians? They might have died out,says Potter, or they could have been absorbed by Northern Native Americans who migrated back to the far North. Researchers li ken the puzzle to a murder mystery."You read the book, and the author reveals new clues over the course of the book. Every time a new genome is analyzed and reported,it provides a new clue that's making the pathway to uncover the real story that much clearer." 46. What can we learn about the girl called"Xach'itee'aanenhT'eedeGaay"? A) She was found dead about six-week old some 11,500 years ago. B)She provided new clues for the study on the first American population. C) She belonged to an ancient population that used to dwell in Beringia.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators.
