By 4 a.m., my brain is in overdrive and there is only one thing for it: to get u
17、p and start working.I know most people are foggy at this time, but I find the early morning to be (26) _ period of great creativity. I get more done in those few hours than the rest of the day, (27) _ Im constantly interrupted.People ask (28) _ I find time to run a business, prepare presentations, w
18、rite books, network with clients and raise a family. Well, this is the answer: by having only four-and-a-half hours of sleep.Yes, I probably (29) _ just about do everything if I got up at 6.30 a.m., but it would mean working in the evening when I need to spend time with my family. I have lots of fri
19、ends with the same problem. We have what we jokingly call “Insomniacs(失眠症患者) Group” on Facebook, where we chat with each other in the middle of the night. It has become a real way (30) _ friendship, and Id miss it if we didnt have that time to chat.While Im often perfectly happy starting my day at 3
20、 a.m., sometimes, (31) _ Im tired, I feel annoyed with myself. Why cant I just switch off? But then I dont want to either. There are so many things I have to do, and a 3 a.m. start is the only way (32) _ (achieve) everything.(B)The Renaissance (文艺复兴)For many people, the Renaissance means 14th to 16t
21、h century Italy, and the developments in art and architecture, music and literature which took place there all that time. But there is one work which, perhaps more than any other, (33) _ (express) the spirit of the Renaissance: the Mona Lisa. It is believed to be (34) _ (good) example of a new lifel

23、d of this painting.The Renaissance was a time of scientific invention, too. Leonardo, as well as being one of the greatest painters the world has ever known, was also a skilled inventor.

26、 by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. delivery B. alternative C. enormously D. floating E. analyzed F. process G. determine H. visible I. messy J. disturbingly K. patterns Everyone knows that the Internet has changed how b
27、usiness operate, governments function and people live. However, a new, less 41 technological trend is just as transformative: “big data.” Big data starts with the fact that there is a lot more information 42 around these days than ever before and it is being put to extraordinary new uses.Consider la
28、nguage translation, for example. When IBM first started to work on machine translation in the 1990s, it just fed a small number of high-quality translation into a computer and programmed it to infer which word in one language is the best 43 for another. Although this 44 revolutionized the task of tr
29、anslation, the result was far from being perfect. Then, in 2006, Google burst in. Instead of millions of pages of texts, the search giant 45 billions, from corporate websites to documents in every language from the European Union. The result is that its translations are much better than IBMs were an
30、d it covers 65 languages. Large amounts of 46 data defeated small amounts of cleaner data.Another good example of how big data can be 47 helpful is online shopping. Using data collected from customer shopping habits, today, Amazon can 48 who is most likely to purchase what and when. Details such as
31、your history and wish list help the company gain a glimpse (一瞥) into your interests. Goods will then be dispatched to a logistics center(物流中心) near you and get packed before you even order, meaning that when you do make an online purchase, same-day 49 would be possible.With big data, instead of tryi
32、ng to understand exactly why an engine breaks down or why a drugs side effect disappears, researchers can instead collect and analyze massive quantities of information about such events and everything that is associated with them, looking for 50 that might help predict future occurrences.Big data an
33、swers not why but what. Finally, it will mark the moment when the “information society” finally fulfills the promise implied by its name.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank wit
34、h the word or phrase that best fits the context.Are we too slow to praise and quick to blame? It seems we are.Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, we are somehow 51 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. To make matters worse, most of
35、us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of 52 . Its strange how chary(吝啬的) we are about praising. Perhaps its because few of us know how to accept compliments gracefully. 53 , we are embarrassed and shrug off(不予理睬) the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this 54 reaction,
36、direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us 55 , in a letter or passed on by a friend. When one thinks of the speed with which spiteful(恶意的) remarks are conveyed, it seems a pity that there isnt more effort to
37、 pass 56 comments.Its especially rewarding to give praise in areas where effort generally goes unnoticed or 57 . An artist gets complimented for a glorious picture, a cook for a perfect meal. But do you ever tell your 58 manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right? Praise is part
38、icularly appreciated by those doing 59 jobs: gas-station attendants, waitresses even housewives. Do you ever go into a house and say, “What a tidy room”? Hardly anybody does. Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.” Since so often praise is the only 60 a housewife receives, surely she of all p
39、eople should get her measure.Teachers agree about the value of praise. One teacher writes that instead of drowning students compositions in critical red ink, the teacher will get far more 61 results by finding one or two things which have been done better than last time, and commenting 62 on them. “
40、I believe that a student knows when he has handed in something above his usual standard,” writes the teacher, “and that he waits hungrily for a brief comment in the margin(空白处) to show him that the teacher is aware of it, too.”To give praise 63 the giver nothing but a moments thought and a moments e
41、ffort. It is such a small 64 . And yet consider the results it may produce. “I can live for two months on a good compliment,” said Mark Twain. So, lets be 65 to the small excellences around us and comment on them. We will not only bring joy into other peoples lives, but also, very often, add happine

(A)Dad, Im writing to you as I feel its been quite a while since we last spoke (two years to be exact, you hung up on me). So how is German
46、y? How old are your other children now? What have you been up to this year? I finished my A-levels this summer. But enough small talk. On our European road trip in the summer, the journey took us close to your house and I asked Mum and my stepdad if we could pay a visit so that I could see you. Outside your house, I couldnt bring myself to get out of the car and knock on the door.Ive tried so many different forms of communication email, the p
