Passage One
Big data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be containedor processed by any one machine or person.AsastudentattheUniversity of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors –English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would everearn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google andFacebook.
Dailly's research company,Morar Consulting,started three years ago with fiveemployees.The company's earnings have increased by 25 % each year.It now employs90 people."What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful for people and Linkthattotheireconomicbehavio r,” Daillysaid.
He noted the importance of working with people with different skills."We havepeople from traditional research backgrounds,in addition to some in social sciences,economics,people from tech backgrounds,and sales people," Dailly said.
Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates.The industry profitsfrom the ideas ofthese young men and women. New forms ofdata also make it possiblefor some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than thetraditional forms ofdata recording or reporting.
"We have access to the core information inside people's heads," Dailly said."Theytell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps peopletake proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy."Julian Dailly dismisses concerns that computers have finally taken control ofourdaily lives.

Passage Three
Before the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing onthe trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. Thepavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast foodpackets. Years ago Iremember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bagsand discarded bottles.
Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gonewrong?
The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lotlonger than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in theundergrowth(下层灌木) foryears.
It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These willtake anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solutionto this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrierbags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, MichaelMeacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industryprotested, ofcourse. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before itcoulddrawbreath,leavingsupermarkets free to give away plastic bags.
What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, bothindividual and collective,before it is too late.The alternative is to continue slidingdownhill untilwehaveacountrythatlooks like a vast rubbishtip. Wemaywellbeatthetippingpoint.Yetweknowthatpeoplerespondtotheirenvironment.Ifthings around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surroundedby rubbish,they behave like rubbish.Now,much of Britain looks pretty dirty.Whatwill it look like in five years?
26.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.PlasticBags
B.Environment Protection
D.RubbishDisposal C.DirtyBritain
27.Theplasticsindustryin Britain protested because ______.
A.a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bags
B.supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bags

D. the government did not support them
28.The expression "sliding downhill" (Para.4) probably means"______”

B.producing more plastic bags
C.encouraging people to use plastic bags
D. making things worse by taking no action
29.Which ofthe following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?
A. Optimistic.
B.Confused.
C. Concerned.
D.Indifferent.

Passage Four
ThosewhoworkintheNetherlandsoftenfeel thatalotoftimeiswastedindiscussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman.All those present will have their say,after which their remarks arediscussed.
He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to,will find it
unwise.The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very importantfor the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important,or that he apparently does not take his colleaguesseriously.Furthermore,he might miss some of the essential information that maybecome evident during the meeting.Those who are present show an interest in theproblems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thusdeclare themselves"co-responsibl e”. The Dutch,in their final conclusions,like to usesuch metaphors as"We are all in one line" or “Our noses are pointing in the samedirection again.”

As aresult, the plan will be ajoint approach.
This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become ateam. The amount oftime that is lost around the table is more than what made up forinefficiency,once everyone goes back to work.Statistics show Dutch employees areamong the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.
31.According to Paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to ______.
A.beheldusuallyforimportantissue
