25、Google Trends, for example, compares the numbers of people searching for different words and phrases from 2004 to the present. According to these graphs, sometimes peoples interests are obviously (44) the news agenda: when the Spice Girls announce a reunion, theres an immediate (45) to find out more

26、 about them.

When we search online for a certain brand of stereo system, we are surely indicating were

27、 more (47) to buy that brand.Perhaps we search for a political candidates name when we are thinking about (48) him or her. Maybe we even search for “stock market crash“ or “recession“ just before we start (49) our investments. This information could clearly be useful to a smart marketer-its already

31、that just cant be better expressed: “It was an accident waiting to happen.“15-year-old Alexa Longueira was wandering along the street in Staten Island, obliviously tapping text messages into her phone as she walked. Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井) in her path,

32、and plunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw sewage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive “really gross, shocking and scary.“Its not all Longueiras fault. The manhole shouldnt have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been

33、set up near the work site. A worker with New Yorks Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the sewage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the incident.Nonetheless, observers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is c

34、ertainly at fault for failing to secure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would her reaction (that is: anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different?Detachment from

35、 ones environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem-and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone use and text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of serious accidents involvi

36、ng distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the use of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents.Following

37、 a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point?What interested me, at least, is the end of the stow above that Longueira lost a shoe in the sewage. But since other things are not reported as lost, Im guessing she appears to have ma

38、naged to keep her grip on her phone during the accident.（分数：6.00）(1).By “It was an accident waiting to happen“, New Yorks WCBS meant that _.A. the accident should have been avoidableB. this kind of accidents happen frequentlyC. somebody was glad to see what would happenD. an open manhole is sure a t

39、rap for careless pedestrians（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).When the girl fell into the open manhole, she _.A. was seriously hurt B. was frightenedC. took a bath in the raw sewage D. cried help to the DEP worker（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the author, who was to blame for the accident?A. The girl herself.

40、 B. The DEP worker.C. Both of them. D. Nobody.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.?A. Talking on a cell phone while driving.B. Text messaging while walking across a street.C. Operating music players while driving.D. Operating game players while

42、ing lost after the accidentC. got a firm hold of her phone during the accidentD. managed to keep herself upright in the manhole（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Passage TwoAccording to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding mi

43、ght also help explain the obesity epidemic of a society in which people often sit.Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and al

44、ert tests on the computer. After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased.Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch

45、 potatoes. Those who had summarized a text consumed 203 more calories than the resting group.Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work causes much bigger fluctuations in glucose(葡萄糖) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking.The researchers

46、 figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose-the brains fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as mu

47、ch energy as other cells in the body.Without exercise to balance the added intake, however, such “brain food“ is probably not smart. Various studies in animals have shown that consuming fewer calories overall leads to sharper brains and longer life, and most researchers agree that the findings apply

48、, in general, to humans.And, of course, eating more can make you fat.“Caloric overcompensation following intellectual work, combined with the fact that we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries

49、,“ said lead researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada. “This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature,“ the researcher concluded.（分数：6.00）(1).The passage mainly tells us that _.A. consuming fewer calories can lead to sharper brainsB. thinking consumed m
