Forthe blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the oth

18、er blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Something to Boast aboutAre your information data safe and reliable?In an ideal world such data, however informative and exploratory they are, (21) a scientific study is based on should be, if not publicly available, then at least available to other

19、researchers. Sadly, this is not always the case.Many scientists are still quite unwilling to have their data revealed though attitudes are changing. This attitude, (22) selfish, is understandable.But sometimes it can cover a darker secret. The statistics presented in a paper may have been controlled

20、 to achieve a desired result. The author may, in other words, have cheated. If he releases the data, that cheating will be obvious.Now Sean Wilner and his colleagues (23) (come) up with a way of reconstructing all the possible data sets that could have given rise to that result, which includes (24)

21、(release) the data. And they call the way CORVIDS (Complete Recovery of Values in Diophantine Systems).(25) (simplify) the task of spotting abnormal data, CORVIDS turns the possible data sets into a three-dimensional (三维的) chart. This makes any unusual patterns apparent. For example, every (26) (rec

22、onstruct) data set may be missing values at one end of the scale. That might make sense occasionally. Generally, though, such a gap would be a red flag. It would suggest either that the statistics were reported incorrectly or (27) there were problems with the fundamental data.CORVIDS is likely to be

23、 (28) immediate value to editors and reviewers at academic journals, who will be able to spot problems with papers early, and so discuss them with the authors. If an unresolvable problem (29) show up, then the technique can be applied to previous work by the author in question, to see if anything sy

24、stematic is going on.But its speed makes it a useful first step. If the data sets (30) finds do not show any strange patterns, CORVIDS is unlikely to show oddness, either.Anyway, the trustworthiness of scientific papers will take a step up with CORVIDS.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a

25、proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. genuinelyB. pocketC. mass-producedD. seeminglyE. inspirationF. familiarizeG. groupH. encounterI. customaryJ. symbolic K. motivationA Deeper Meaning behind Souvenirs“Nobody sits us down

26、 and tells us to collect objects when were young,” writes Rolf Potts, “its just something we do, as a way to 31 ourselves with the world, its possibilities, and our place in it.”Few of us would call ourselves collectors, but most travelers 32 a seashell from a vacation, or bring a keychain. As Mr. P

27、otts notes in a book called “Souvenir,” there is more to this 33 simple practice than meets the eye. For onething, it can date back to the oldest described journeys, so its a 34 practice that goes back thousands of years. And academic researchers have classified souvenirs - even 35 items like “I Lov

28、e New York” T-shirts and plastic miniatures of Michelangelos David - into various categories, likely unknown to many travelers.Which categories do the things weve bought or found in our travels fall into? Further, whats 36 behind our need to bring home souvenirs?Over time, intellectual curiosity bec

29、ame the driving 37 for personal travel. Yet even as travelers began collecting historical and scientific souvenirs, not just religious items, the things they brought home stood for feelings for holy objects.Scholars 38 these souvenirs into different buckets, including “markers” (location branded ite

30、ms like T-shirts and teacups), “pictorial images” (postcards and posters), and “ 39 landmarks” (for example, Statue of Liberty key chains), with the latter two categories symbolizing, though not exclusive to, mass tourism.In the end, “Souvenir” suggests that its meaning is not fixed because its impo

31、rtance to the owner can change over time and that its significance is closely related to the travelers identity. Mr. Potts himself has had plenty of souvenirs, things that remind him not merely of the places hes been and the extraordinary 40 between him and local people, but of former life phases. “

32、When we collect souvenirs,” he writes, “we do so not to evaluate the world, but to tell the self.”III.Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.
