He surprised everyone around him. Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and playe
15、d it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies l
16、aw and music. Samuel can t understand why everyone is so surprised. “ I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the 2 piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easi
17、ly to meI hear the notes and can bear them in mind each and every note,” says Samuel. Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so diffi
18、cult that many professional pianists can t play it. Samuel says confidently, “ It s all about super memory I guess I have that gift.” However, Samuel s ability to remember things doesn t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then h
19、e could retell the story word for word. Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn t know what he wants to do in the future.

21、sical ability. D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers. 28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _.

23、ical pieces. 30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The Qualities of a Musician B. The Story of a Musical Talent C. The Importance of Early Education D. The Relationship between Memory and Music B Most employers say that they wish to employ the right person for the right job
24、. A recent report by Britains Independent Institute of Manpower Studies, however, disagrees with this. The report states that most employers wish to avoid employing the wrong person. Rather than looking for the right person, they are looking for applicants to turn down. The report also suggests that
25、 in Britain and in many other parts of the world the selection methods used to pick out the right person for the job certainly do not match up to those used to judge a piece of new equipment. Employers used three main selection methods: interviewing, checking resume or application forms and examinin
26、g references. Most of the employers asked in this survey stated that these selection methods were used more for weeding out unsuitable applicants rather than for finding suitable ones. Interviews were considered to be more reliable than either resume checks or references from past employers. Researc
27、h, however, proves otherwise. Interviewers decisions are often strongly influenced by their earlier judgment of the written application. Also different employers view facts differently. One may consider applicants who have frequently changed jobs as people with broad and useful experience. Another w
28、ill see such applicants as unreliable and unlikely to stay for long in the new job. Some employers place great importance on academic qualifications whereas the link between this and success in management is not necessarily strong. Some employers use handwriting as a standard. The report states that
29、 there is little evidence to support the value of the latter for judging working ability. References, also, are sometimes unreliable as they are not very important while checks on credit and security records and applicants political opinions are often the opposite. The report is more favorable towar
30、ds trainability tests and those which test personality and personal and mental skills. The report concludes by suggesting that interviewing could become more reliable if the questions were arranged in a careful, organized system and focused on the needs of the employing organization. 31. According t
31、o the passage, when most employers want to hire workers, . A. they will try to find suitable people B. they will look for the right applicants C. the wrong applicants are to be turned down D. to turn down the wrong people is what they say they aim to do 32.

32、t person is more difficult than to evaluate equipment B. employers are more successful in selecting the right equipment than the right persons C. criteria will be set up according to the real situation of the applicants D. resumes means application forms 33. Most of the recruiters ( 招聘人员 ) . A. cons

35、ing seriously D. have strong political leanings C When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils, he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his masked men turned out to be because hes color-blind. Now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out w
36、hat colors hes using and how the picture looks to most everyone else. The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the “true“ colors as everyone else sees them. In America,
37、an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans-95% are males-can soon have their life improved. “DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phones camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see,“ developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He
38、 came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film Star Trek with a color-blind friend. It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees. A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(遗传缺陷 ). Blue-yellow colorblin
39、dness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB color model. What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal s
40、o that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems. “ You can adjust the app to fit your needs. There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same. ” Says Kaminsky. Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the results. “It woul
41、d be useful for dressing for a job interview,“ he said. But using it for his art is “ the most practical application.“ It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets, which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green. 36. According to the first two
42、paragraphs, we can know that DanKam _. A. appeared in the movie Star Trek B. can turn vague colors into real ones C. is a phone used to help drawing pictures D. is designed to help people with colorblindness 37. How does DanKam s app work? A. It puts LED and other lights on electronic gadgets. B. It

D Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents ( 洋流 ). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Eb
46、besmeyer does it in a special way by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There w
47、ere so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear. Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes about 60,000 in total fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back.
48、As expected, the company told him that they didnt. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents. The Pacific Northwest is one of the worlds bes
49、t areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻 ) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of the
