An Experiment with an Isolated Girl

The case of Genie Wiley came to light on November 4. 1970. Genie was discovered by a social

worker when her partially-blind mother went to apply for social services. Genie had been isolated in a

small room starting at the age of 20 months (21) her discovery at 13 years and 9 months old. She spent

most of her time naked and (22) (blind) to a chair. The windows were curtained and the door kept closed.

She was only fed cereal and baby food and (23) (not speak) to.

Upon her discovery, Genie was admitted to Children's Hospital of LA for evaluation, where she

(24) (find) underdeveloped. She was thin, looked much younger and even (25) not stand up straight.

She was unable to chew and had trouble swallowing. She was incontinent (大小便失禁的)and silent.

(26) (test) shortly after she came to the hospital revealed that her social maturity and mental abilities

were at the level of a one-year-old. (27) the research demonstrated was that she never suffered from brain

damage, mental disability, or autism ( 自闭症 ).Therefore, the developmental delays Genie exhibited

resulted (28) the isolation she was subjected to.

Genie's case drew media attention as well as great interest from the research community, which

considered (29) a rare opportunity to discover whether it was possible for Genie to mentally develop.

The research was further funder and a team was assembled (30) goal was to help Genie live a normal life

and study her progress. Genie soon learned basic social skills like using the toilet and dressing herself. She

was fascinated by her environment and would study it intensely. She was talented at nonverbal

communication, but her ability to use language did not proceed rapidly. As a result, psychologist David

Rigler decided to focus the research on her language acquisition.

Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once.

Note that there is one word more than you need

(A)

A. convinced B. minimum C. commit D. procedure E. confirmed F. Witnesses

G. rules H. tense I. evidence J. tricks K. aid

All of us rely on what we see. We say to ourselves, "I know, I was there; I saw it happen," and that

settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the (31) of our eyes?

Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will disagree

with the referee. "He was out of bounds when he caught the pass/' says one fan. Says another, "You're

crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind." The referee (32) that

the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not (33) because they were there!

It's the same story in the court-room. Trial (34)depends on witnesses giving testimony (证词).But just

now reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand (35)

were asked to describe the man they saw (36) a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the

witnesses didn't play (37) on them!

What can we do to keep error to (38) ? First of all, don't let your emotions interfere with your vision.

Don't see something because you want to see it. Secondly, try to stay relaxed. If you are (39) you are

likely to see red when the color is blue. And finally, it helps to make notes of what you see. Don't rely on

your memory alone. Take pictures, make recordings, and use any other (40) to reduce distortion (歪曲)。

(B)

A. tendency B. efficiently C. deliver D. evolve E. exposing F. imagine

G. continuously H. complication I comparison J. stimulate K. intentions

The limitations of Digital Technology in the Fight against the Virus

Digital technology can help and has helped us in the fight against the novel coronavirus. But as

coverage and understandable public interest - and concern - about the outbreak has intensified, it seems

wise first to look at how the event is (41) some of technology's limitations both in and of itself and how

we interpret what it can do for us.

Three themes emerge.

Technology is not immediate. There is a(n) (42) to believe that the recent rapid advances in

processing power, algorithmic (运算法则的)development, machine learning and artificial intelligence can

now (43) almost instant answers to everything. The digital landscape has changed massively since the

SARS outbreak in 2003. But while we may be able to do things more (44) some things still take time and

that is particularly true of a virus. There is no 'one size fits all here and, indeed, there are real dangers in

believing that one analytical strategy and its particular use can be applied universally.

Second, as viruses spread and (45) , so do the data sets around them. We are not dealing with a situation

of simple 'garbage in. garbage our' but rather one where new information is emerging daily and there is the

further (46) that there were delays in early reporting of the outbreak. That means the results even the

wisest medical experts can produce are also going to change. Also. as you might (47) their methodologies

(方法论)vary.

Third, a lot of data is being placed into the digital area, across social media, specialist sites and

elsewhere. Here, the (48) with 17 years ago is especially great. But the (49) behind various postings are

many. Anyone might be able to access the data via a web browser - and its free availability is laudable

( 值得称赞的 )-but its intended audiences can be very different. In some cases, experts are looking to

inform the public but in seems to others they are looking to contribute to and (50) the debate taking place

among themselves. These goals are laudable and necessary, but they do not always coexist harmoniously.

II. Reading Comprehensions Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Scientists say record heat has cost reef half of corals

The Great Barrier Reef, one of the earth's most precious habitats, lost half of its coral populations in

the last quarter-century, a decline that researchers in Australia said would continue unless drastic action is

taken to reduce the effects of climate change.

Colony sizes were smaller, there were fewer “big mamas," or older large corals that produce baby corals;

and there were fewer of those babies, which are vital to the reefs future ability to (51) . "Our results show

the ability of the Great Barrier Reef to recover - its resilience ( 恢复力 )-is weakened(52) the past,

because there are fewer babies, and fewer large breeding adults," Dr. Andy Dietzel, the lead author of the

study, said in a statement.

(53) a process in which corals turn white as water temperatures rise - contributed to sleep losses of

Barrier Reef in 2016 and 2017. The southern part of the reef was also (54) to record- setting temperatures

in early 2020. Researchers cited climate change as one of the major (55) of disturbances to reef.

“There is no time to (56) they said in a statement. "We must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions

as soon as possible.”

Researchers were disappointed about what they saw as a lack of attention to the study from

government leaders in Australia, the world's biggest coral exporter. The government has (57) calls to

reduce carbon emissions even as heat waves, drought and fires continue to reveal the country ,s situation of

being hurt by climate change.

The Great Barrier Reef, which (58) a vast array of marine life, has between 300 and 400 coral

species and stretches for thousands of kilometers across the Australian coast.

"You can (59) see it from space," said Deron Burkepile. a professor at the University of California, Santa

Barbara.

Coral reefs worldwide are (60) for billions of dollars is tourism and provide habitats for fish that feed

close to one billion people on the planet, he said.

“The situation is serious,." Professor Burkepile said. But people should not feel (61) about the future of

coral reefs, he said, even as they wait for world leaders to take more (62) steps to control the effects of

climate change.

At the local level, (63) nitrogen (氮)pollution - which (64) fading - can be controlled by reducing

fertilizer and sewage runoff, according to a study that Professor Burkepile conducted with other researchers

at his university. "The other thing that we need to take away is that coral reefs are amazing resilient," he

said. "If we don't continually damage them, they will (65) .
