9、a video last week showed a miniature horse eating a bowl of carrots-from a high chair. A high chair. Yes, really.It might seem _36_, but it might also be the logical extension of the growing _37_ of treating animals as human and treating pets as children. Examples of this attitude are _38_, and rang
10、e from the innocent to the near-crazy. Some people even _39_ their pets for Halloween or create social media accounts for them. Should this cause _40_? Should we just smile and nod when people treat their pets as such? Should we shrug off the Facebook page “Animals are People Too” and “My Child has
11、Four Paws”? No. _41_ animals arent people. And pets arent children.There seems to be confusion about the _42_between pets and children. People _43_ the language of parenthood when talking to their “fur kid” or “baby”. Of course, it s one thing to use such language lightly, as an innocent expression
12、of love or a(an) _44_ of the great joy and deep bonds that pets, like children, can create. Its quite another to use this language _45_.Words _46_.

13、oman _47_ having a baby won t be much different from being a “dad” to a dog? “Pet parents” point out that they do everything _48_ parents do- feed, bathe, clean up, care for and love. _49_, all these actions form only part of the routines of true parenthood.

Remember-thumbs down means I need help.(2)_Refer to your route map and make your way to a Mechanics
23、Point. Mechanical assistance is free when you show your Rider Identity Card; you just pay for the parts.Refreshment stopsLook out for these along the route. Most are organized by voluntary clubs and their prices give you real value for money. They are also raising money for their local communities a
24、nd the British Heart Foundation, so please give them your support.Rain or shine-be preparedIn the event of very bad weather, watch out for signs to wet weather stations en route. Good waterproofs, like a cycle cape, are essential. Our first aid staff can only supply bin liners and by the time you ge

We can learn from the passage that_.A. first aid staff can provide cycle capesB. some roads may have normal traffic flow on themC. refreshments are
28、 free to participants during the rideD. Bike Events wont charge you for the return of your bikeBAnonymizing job applications to eliminate（消除）discrimination is not easy.“If youve got the grades, the skills and the determination, this government will ensure you can succeed,” declared the British prime
29、 minister, on October 26th, as he introduced plans to tackle discrimination in the workplace. Ten big employers in the public and private sectorsincluding the civil service, HSBC and Deloittehave agreed to start recruiting（招募）on a “name-blind” basis in Britain; others may also follow suit. In such s
30、chemes, those drawing up shortlists of applicants cannot see their names, with the aim of reducing racial and sexual bias. But do they work?Several countries have experimented with name-blind applications. In 2010 Germanys Anti-Discrimination Agency, an advisory body, sponsored a voluntary scheme to
31、 get businesses to try it. In France a law passed in 2006 made the anonymizing of applicants CVs compulsory for firms of over 50 employees. But the government was slow in laying down the conditions for how the law would operate, and only started performing it last year.In Sweden and the Netherlands
32、there have been some trials. Discrimination against job applicants based on their names is well documented, particularly among ethnic minorities. An experiment in Germany found that candidates with German-sounding names were 14% more likely to be called for an interview than candidates with Turkish
33、ones. A review of various studies, by the Institute for Study of Labour (IZA), a German outfit, found that anonymized job applications boost the chances of ethnic minority candidates being invited to an interview. A Sweden study found that it led to more ethnic-minority people being hired.However, t
34、he results from other trials are less clear. A second Swedish experiment found that only women, not immigrants, were boosted by anonymous recruitment. According to the IZA, experiments in the Netherlands showed no increase in the likelihood of ethnic-minority candidates being offered a job if their
35、CVs were seen anonymously, suggesting that discrimination had slid in at the interview stage. Ensuring that a candidate is completely anonymous is also tricky.A 2012 French study found that foreign-born candidates and those from poor districts were less likely to be called for interview when applica
36、tions were anonymized. Its authors suggested that recruiters may have used other indicators, such as knowledge of Arabic, to identify race. In places suffering from religious tension, such as Northern Ireland, the name of a school can reveal a candidates faith, while a few years missing on a CV may
37、suggest maternity leave（产假）, and thus that the candidate is female. Going name-blind when shortlisting candidates may be a sensible start, but it is likely to be just a small step towards ending hiring bias.58. What can learn from the passage?A. In France, the government started the anonymized recru
38、itment in 2006.B. In Germany, chances of ethnic-minority name-blind candidates being interviewed are slighter.C. In the Netherlands, the anonymous recruitment is more of a trick than an effective practice.D. In Sweden, not only women but also immigrants may well enjoy a higher recruitment rate.59. W
39、hat does the underlined phrase “drawing up” in paragraph 2 mean?A. writing out B. taking in C. making up D. picking out60. By writing the passage, the author tries to _.A. inform readers of the idea of anonymizing job applicationsB. explain how anonymization in recruitment is operatedC. discuss whet
40、her anonymization in job applications worksD. promote the strategies of name-blind recruitmentCSAN FRANCISCO-When you pull the headset over your eyes and the game begins, you are transported to a tiny room with white walls. Your task is to break out of the room, but you cannot use your hands. There
41、is no joystick or game pad. You must use your thoughts.You turn toward a ball on the floor, and your brain sends a command to pick it up. With another thought, you send the ball crashing into a mirror, breaking the glass and revealing a few numbers on a wall. You mentally type those numbers into a l
42、arge keypad by the door. And you are out.Designed by Neurable, a small startup founded by Ramses Alcaide, an electrical engineer and neuroscientist (神经科学家), the game offers what you might call a computer mouse for the mind, a way of selecting items in a virtual world with your thoughts.Combining a h
43、eadset with virtual reality goggles and sensors that can read your brain waves, this prototype (样机) is a few years from the market. And it is limited in what it can do. You cannot select an object with your mind unless you first look in its direction, narrowing the number of items you may be conside
44、ring.But it works. I recently played the game, which has the working title Awakening, when Alcaide and two Neurable employees passed through San Francisco, and a few hundred others tried it this month at the Siggraph computer graphics conference in Los Angeles.The prototype is among the earliest fru
45、its of a widespread effort to embrace technology that was once science fiction-and in some ways still is. Driven by recent investments from the US government and by the herd mentality (从众心理) in the tech world, a number of startups and bigger companies like Facebook are working on ways to mentally co
46、ntrol machines. They are also looking for smoother ways to use virtual reality technology. The increased interest in neurotechnology is partly a result of an effort the government administration started in 2013. The initiative helped create significant government financing for brain-interface compan
47、ies and related work in academy.The Neurable prototype shows what is possible today. Using electroencephalography, or EEG-a means of measuring electrical brain activity that has been around for a decade-the company can provide simple ways of mentally interacting with a game. Some companies hope to g
48、o much further and want to build ways of performing nearly any computing task with the mind. Imagine a brain interface for rapidly typing on a smartphone.At Neurable, which is based in Boston, Alcaide and the member of his team are pushing the limits of EEG headsets. Although sensors can read electr
49、ical brain activity from outside the skull, it is very difficult to separate the signal from the noise. Using computer algorithms (算法) based on research that Alcaide originally published as a doctoral student at the University of Michigan, Neurable works to read activity with a speed and accuracy that
