7、mobile app that “listens“ to your music and TV shows. If the song or show is recognized by the app, users can publish the information on their profile or to selected friends. The service hopes to take advantage of the “second screen“ trend, which sees fans of TV shows in particular sharing their exp
8、eriences on social networks. However, some users have privacy concerns. The feature, which will be available in a few weeks“ time, uses the microphones inside users“ smartphones to detect nearby music or TV shows. As the user begins writing a status update, a small animated icon will appear at the t
9、op of the app. If the app detects the appropriate audio signals and finds a match from its database, the user can then share what he or she is watching or listening to. Facebook says the feature can be turned off at any time, the audio recording is not stored anywhere and the device cannot identify
10、background noise or conversations. “If you share music, your friends can see a 30-second preview of the song. For TV shows, the story in News Feed will highlight the specific season and episode you“re watching,“ Facebook said in a statement. The company hopes this new method of sharing user listenin
11、g and watching habits will take advantage of the five billion status updates related to TV and music experiences that the social networking giant sees on a yearly basis. However, automating part of the sharing process has left some users suspicious, with Nicole Simon commenting on TechCrunch that: “
12、While the idea is nice and technology really interesting, I have no interest in Facebook “observing“ my audio and surrounding. Yes, it starts currently as opt-in, and only on occasion, but there is no trust from my side for even that.“ The BBC understands that this new feature was not specifically d
13、esigned to enhance Facebook“s advertising. However, the company could push an advertisement to a user“s phone based on their tracked listening habits. This is in keeping with Facebook“s current approach to advertising, which uses publicly provided information on users“ profiles to push advertisement

The basic idea behind Facebook“s feature is not a new onesince 2002 Shazam, which has recently seen a $3 million investment from Sony Music Entertainment, has been providing a similar audio recognition service, with its website describing itself as “

18、意与完成句子(总题数：1，分数：8.00)Teach Your Child Science1. It is important to make your child interested in science from an early age. Most young children ask a lot of questions and you should give careful scientific answers. Don“t only give facts, but try to give explanations as well. 2. Science is not just k
19、nowledge; it is a way of thinking, a method of finding out about the world. We see something. We try to explain it, and we test our idea by setting up an experiment. One day you come home and find the plant on the table has fallen over. You think it might be the wind from the open window or the cat,
20、 so you close the window, but leave the cat in and see what happens (You can also try leaving the window open and shutting the cat out). Of course, you remember there may be a third explanation. 3. Ask your child to get a piece of string, some salt, a glass of water and an ice cube (冰块). Tell her to
21、 put the ice in the water, and then put one end of the string on the ice, leaving the other end over the side of the glass. Put a little salt on the ice. Wait a minute, and then pull the string; it should be attached to the ice. Ask the child: “What has happened?“ 4. Probably she won“t know. Ask her
22、 whether fresh water or salt water freezes into ice first. If you live near the sea and have a cold winter, she should know fresh water freezes first as she will have seen that happen. Show her how to test the idea by half-filling two paper cups with water, adding salt to one. Then put them in the i
23、cebox and check every three minutes. Write the results in a table. The conclusion will be that salt changes the behaviour of water. Thinking about the string, we see the salt turned some of the ice into water. Then the salt went away into the water and the ice froze again leaving the string attached
24、. 5. Then you can ask, “Will water with salt boil at the same temperature as water without salt?“ She can think, tell you her idea and (taking care because of the heat) you can test it in the kitchen.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 1 1 A.

They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple o
28、f minutes a billboard (广告牌) goes by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.“ “Drink Good“n Wet Root Beer.“ “Fill up With Pacific Gas.“ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you free from the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of t
29、he ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you“ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changednew houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it“s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly
30、reckless (鲁莽的)or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense (悬疑)story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food alw
31、ays makes bus rides more interesting. But you“ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there“s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. Th
32、e seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you“ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when

37、 computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological Utopia (乌托邦) ,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology, while the West concerns itself with the “how
38、“, the question of “for whom“ is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy. Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries, and transnational corpor
39、ations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade exchange, interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods. The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets with destructive impact on the ha
40、ve-nots. For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. As “futures“ (期货) are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and les
41、s control of their destinies. So what are the options for regaining control? One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselvesso-called “development communications“ modernization. Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent
42、constraints on developing countries“ economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S., Europe or Japan; the patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries. It is also expensive, and imported products and services must therefor
43、e be bought on creditcredit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain. Furthermore, when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development. This means that while local elites, foreign communities and subsidiaries
44、of transnational corporations may benefit, but not developing countries.（分数：15.00）(1).From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of _.（分数：3.00）A.the rich countriesB.scientific developmentC.the eliteD.the world economy(2).It can be inferred from the passage t
45、hat _.（分数：3.00）A.international trade should be expandedB.the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough considerationC.the exports of the poor countries should be increasedD.communications technology in the developing countries should be modernized(3).Why does the author say that the
46、 electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?（分数：3.00）A.Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.B.Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.C.Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.D.B
47、ecause it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.(4).The development of modern communications technology in developing countries may _.（分数：3.00）A.hinder their industrial productionB.cause them to lose control of their tradeC.force them to reduce their share of exportsD.cost them thei

No other
49、tape storage system can hold as many computer tapes as TapeStore. The tapes look exactly like video cassettes. Many hundreds of data files can be stored on each tape, up to a maximum of 500 million bytes (字节) of data.
