Called the Oton Glass, the glasses are meant to translate text into sound using two cameras and an earpiece, both fit
18、ted to its frame. Half of the lens (镜片) is a mirror that reflects the wearers eyes back to the first camera, which tracks eye movement. The other camera captures the text. Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they cant read and blinking (眨眼) to trigger the glasses. Then the captured words
19、are sent to a cloud system, which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece. If the system is unable to identify the words, the images are sent to a remote worker who can deal with them. The Oton Glass lead designer, Keisuke Shimakage, started working on the glasses in 2
20、012 to aid his father, who had developed dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell. While his father eventually recovered, Shimakage continued his development in order to help others with the disorder. Currently, the Oton Glass is seeking funding. Backers can get a
21、pair of the glasses for 5,000 yen (roughly $47). Smart glasses arent a new concept, but its difficult to point to any single pair of smart glasses that people have reviewed - 4 - favorably. It could, perhaps, be that previous products tried to do too much, or were too expensive. Thats why Intels Vau
22、nt smart glasses stripped out some features, like its camera, LCD screen, and speakers.

D The target audiences of various smart glasses. C Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation that threatens
26、the survival of companies everywhere. Its based on the assumption that old ideas will always work, so they shouldnt be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that dont change, its unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. - 5 - In todays rapid changing global environment
27、, old methods often dont work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems. Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security. If everyone else believes it, then it must be true.Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are
28、 right, and being right is good.They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work.In 1977, Ken Olsen,co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation(DEC), stated“There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his hoe.“ Despite being a domi
29、nant leader in the computer industry, DEC no longer exists. People seem to forget that since innovation is a change, there can be no inovation without change. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating. If companies dont innova
30、te, but their competitors do, the future is likely to be problematic. Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries, so it has a powerful effect on business success. Ted Turner(founder of CNN) knew little, if anythin
31、g, about the news business, but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour, as was common before CNN. Turners solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24 hours a day. The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would
32、 fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day. However, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers dont have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information. Due to conventional thinking, the critics failed to reco
33、gnize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future. Conventional wisdom prevents creativity, flexibility and risk-taking, so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it. To survive, thrive and maintain competitive advantag
34、e, companies must be flexible when reacting to change. 28DEC has disappeared probably because . A the consumers didnt like its products B the leaders lacked the sense of security C the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas D the employees took many risks with changes 29The founding of CNN is used as a
35、n example to prove . - 6 - A missing opportunities could lead to failure B changing could contribute to business success C watching news at the dinner hour is convenient D conventional wisdom influences business success 30What does the underlined part probably mean? A Rocket scientists can ensure th
36、e CNN works properly. B Most of the viewers dont like to watch the news at work. C Its necessary to understand when people watch the news. D Its easy to know people neednt watch the news all the time. 31The passage is mainly written to tell us that . A old methods are changing with time B opportunit
37、ies lead to business success C conventional wisdom limits innovation D successful companies need wise leaders. D. The Shiants, remote, cliff-edged islands off the coast of Scotland are home to 350,000 seabirds. This is the starting point for National Geographic contributor Adam Nicolsons new book, T
38、he Seabirds Cry. Celebrating 10 species in detail, he describes the unbelievable recovery of seabirds and the many adaptations that have enabled them to survive and navigate the oceans, while sounding a loud call for their conservation among severely falling numbers Speaking from his home in Sussex,
39、 England, Nicolson explains why guillemot (海 雀)colonies are information exchange centers: how new research is showing that those long-distance travelers. the shearwaters, “smell“ their way across the globe; and what we can do to support seabird populations. National Geographic has just kicked off Ye
40、ar of the Bird with a cover story by Jonathan Franzen titled “Why Birds Matter “. The beginning of Year of the Bird is beneficial to birds. Nicolson said, “Ill ask you the same question-why? For me, these seabirds are symbols of uniqueness. There is so much on the land where the rest of the living w
41、orld seems to be controlled by us, but when you go to seabird colonies, there is this pumping, loud and raging uniqueness. Its a glance of the untouched world. ” - 7 - “The reason why its untouched is that, until recently, we have not controlled the oceans that the seabirds depend on. More of them h
42、ave survived in greater numbers than most other creatures in the developed world, where huge amounts of the animal kingdom have been removed by us. And so one reason these birds matter is that they are symbols of what the world might be if we hadnt done so much damage to it. “He added. “Seabirds als
43、o tend to disappear; they re not reliably of our world. due to their migration and habits of life. Very deep in our consciousness is a sense that they are ambassadors from another world. And witnessing and feeling that is, I think, one of the great enlargers of life.” Nicolson explained 32What is th

C The importance of seabird D Seabirds in the authors hometown. 33What can we learn from Nicolsons speech? A The wisdom of seabirds B Ways to protect seabird C Migration routes of seabirds D The harder situat
45、ion of seabirds. 34What does the underlined phrase “kicked off“ in paragraph 3 mean? A Watched out for B Cut across C Expressed D Started 35Which is a lucky thing for seabirds in Nicolsons view? A The sea is too large to be polluted. B The sea isnt entirely governed by humans. C The seabirds are abl
46、e to fit the environment. D The seabirds are living in the developed world. 第二节 （共 5 5 小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分 1010分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Critical（批判的）thinking is the art of using reason to analyze ideas and dig deeper to get to our true potential. It doesnt mean youre thinking harder
47、 or longer. 36 Here are some tips and ideas to help you build a foundation for critical thinking. Question your assumptions. We make a lot of assumptions about almost everything. Its how our brain processes certain pieces of information, and how we get along in everyday life. You could say they are
48、the foundation of our critical framework. 37 - 8 - Then the whole foundation needs to be rebuilt, from the bottom up. Dont take information on authority until youve investigated it yourself. Instead of double-checking everything anyone says, we tend to label information as either coming from a trust
49、worthy or not trustworthy source. This keeps us from double-checking every piece of information that comes our way, saving time and energy. But it also keeps us from getting to the bottom of things we think of as coming from a trustworthy source, even when they dont. 38 Put yourself in other peoples shoes. Empathy can also help y
