John Urschel was living a life many athletes only dreamed of. He was a player in the National Football League(NFL). Until Thursday, the 26-yearold Urschel played for the Baltimore Ravens football team. But not anymore. He announced he was giving up football to study math at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Urschel played in the NFL for three years. He came to the Ravens after playing in college at Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania.Urschel was well-known among American sports fans for being both a good football player and also a mathematician. Urschel studied complex math, like advanced algebra and machine learning. He wrote about his studies in a 2015 article in The Players Tribune. It was called "Why I Still Play Football ". He wrote that he loved math, but also loved to play football.Urschel was an offensive lineman. That means he used his large body--over 1.9 meters tall and 136 kilograms--to keep the opposing team's players from tackling his teammates. But also means that he ran into other players over and over again. A study was released about the1/ 26brains of American-style football players. Researchers examined the brains of 1ll former NFL players who had died. All but one of them showed signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. That is the brain disease known as CTE. It is linked to hits to the head that are common in football.The Baltimore football team posted the news on Twitter. The team just started practicing for the new season. Baltimore's coach is John Harbaugh. He said, "We wish him all the best in his future efforts.”Urschel is not the only football player to announce his retirement this week. Andrew Hawkins retired on Tuesday at the age of 31, announcing his plans to study business and economics. 1.What can be known about John Urschel?A.He risked getting a brain disease in some way because of his team roleB.He was popular with world-wide players and mathematiciansC.He preferred learning maths to playing football.D.He was the cleverest one among his teammates. 2.CTE is a kind of disease which _________.

It’s responsible for winter tourism as we know it today. It was a small band of English holidaymakers that changed Switzerland forever. In 1864 a bet took place between hotelier Johannes Badrutt and the vacationers on a damp September evening in St Moritz. As they sat around the fire at the Engadiner Kulm Hotel, concerned about returning to the foggy London winter, the Swiss manager saw a golden opportunity.“You holiday here in summer,” he challenged them over a bottle of red wine. “Why not enjoy the mountains year-round? Winter is so pleasant that on fine days you can even walk without a jacket.” Attracted by the promise of clean skies against a backdrop of towering peaks, the Englishmen were pleased to accept it; up until then, St Moritz had been a modest hiking destination in July and August. But if Badrutt’s promise proved false, the hotelier would pay for their journey and winter-long stay. How could they lose?Come mid-December, the group of men returned to Switzerland. Towards the end of their week-long journey, sitting on a horse-pulled---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ sledge and wrapped head-to-toe in furs, they went through the 2,284m Julier Pass in southeastern Switzerland. But by the time of their arrival in St Moritz, the skies had cleared, they were sweating abundantly, and Badrutt, jacketless and with his shirt sleeves rolled up, was there to greet them.Of course, Badrutt won the bet. Word quickly spread throughout Britain about St Moritz’s distinctive climate—dry and sunny with a high degree of snow certainty. Year-round tourism landed the Alpine town of St Moritz.That Badrutt almost single-handedly marketed this undeveloped winter wonderland is a little unbelievable. The first tourist office in Switzerland had been established in the same year as the bet. Other resorts like the ones in Davos and Grindelwald were also popping up then. The story of St Moritz is, in some ways, also a tale of social transformation. But what Badrutt did made the Swiss mountains accessible in a way that no one else had done before, so his role as pioneer cannot be downplayed. 1.What can we infer about Johannes Badrutt? A.He had a good sense of business. B.He was a man with some disabilities. C.He disliked living in mountains. D.He was addicted to gambling. 2.How did the British vacationers react to the bet? A.They refused it because they thought it was unfair.7/ 26B.They’d rather pay for their winter journey by themselves.C.They thought that a jacket-free walk was possible.D.They were sure that Badrutt would lose the bet. 3.What finally made Badrutt the winner of the bet? A.His warmest welcome. B.The hotelier’s courage and wealth. C.The vacationers’ passion for travelling.3---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ D.The unique climate of St Moritz.4.What does the author think of the success of St Moritz?A.Davos and Grindelwald helped a lot.B.He owes it completely to the bet.C.Badrutt played an important role.D.The success was made by tourist office.4、Michelin inspectors, the super secret spies of the restaurant industry, are the anonymous(匿名的) keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They’ve been writing anonymous reports ofrestaurants for over 100 years.“We say it’s a little like th e CIA,” said inspector “M” with a laugh. She asked that heridentity not be revealed. “My whole life is staying under the radar, staying away from cameras,using fake names, trying to steal in and out of restaurants quietly.”Along with their boss, Jean Luc Naret, the director of the Michelin Guide, about 90inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the cooking equivalent (等价物) ofan Oscar, the Nobel Prize and Megamillions jackpot (百万彩票) all at once. The Michelin Guidecovers 23 countries, and out of the 45,000 rated restaurants, less than 100 have the top rating —only nine American restaurants carry three stars.If the name “Michelin” brings the tires on your car to mind, you’re not too far off. TheMichelin rating began in France in 1900 as a9/ 26marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought theircustomers would bum more rubber if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.Inspector “M” admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life. “Most of the time wedine alone,” she said. “It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and t he atmosphere andcapture the entire experience.” To cover their tracks, “M” said sometimes two inspectors will dinetogether and write two separate papers. It’s better than saying “table for one”, right?“When you’re really, really into food and very crazy about food, everything else that’s goingon around you isn’t so important,” she said.1.The underlined words “under the radar” in Paragraph 2 mean.A.living in dangerB.being the focus of the mediaC.trying to be unnoticedD.making programs on the radio2.The Michelin rating was first carried out in order to .A.open more hotels and restaurantsB.bring more convenience to driversC.make people familiar with “Michelin”D.make a profit by selling more tires of a certain brand3.Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can.A.cut the expense on the foodB.protect their identitiesC.save trouble by sharing a paperD.talk about the food over the meal4.What would be the best title for the text?A.M’s experience as a CIAB.The legend of---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Michelin brothers411/ 26C.Michelin inspectors: food industry spiesD.Michelin — a giant in tire and restaurant industry 5、 It can be truly terrifying to fall into a frozen lake. ①__________In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.As you first enter the freezing water, you should breathe quickly at once. Remember to get control of your breathing and not to move around. ②__________This means that it takes about one minute to gain control of your breathing, and ten minutes to move before you get too cold. The final one is to remind you that it will take one hour before you become unconscious.Take the first minute to fully focus on your breathing. Slow it down, and then look around to see if you can locate the thickest area of ice. When you locate the ice, stretch your arms over the surface, and then begin the flutter kick(浅打水)until your body becomes horizontal with the surface. ③__________It is possible that you can live for several hours after passing out. This, however, does require some planning. \ou only have about 10 minutes before your muscles and nerves become too cold to work. Besides, what if you feel too weak to go on and you cannot get out? ④__________The point is to make sure your coat can freeze to the ice, so that if you lose consciousness, you will keep your head out of the water. ⑤__________ A. It can help---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------to remember the “1-10-1 principle”. B. However, if you remain calm, it can save your life. C. Remove any clothing or heavy objects that are weighting you down. D. Thus you will remain visible for rescue, even if you pass out. E. Kick hard and use your arms and hands to climb out of the water. F. Remember that you should always stay off ice that’s only 3 inches. G. Place your arms over the surface of the ice and remain still. 6、 I was really nervous this year because I was in a new class.

I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television.Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had used. It had been purchased to make a color-coordinated(颜色协调的)baby blanket, and now had chunks(块)cut out of almost every piece of fabric(织物). Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and explained how angry I was at what had been done.My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face. She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologize for the mistake she had made.A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful, little cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words “I LOVE MOM”.Alongside it was a note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric.To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions. It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me th at nothing in this world is greater than a child’s love.56. The underlined word can be replaced by “ ”.A. hopefully came upB. hopefully went backC. quietly came upD. quietly went back57. What did the children do?A.

The passage is mainly to tell about .A. a mom’s tearsB. a mom’s loveC. a child’s loveD. a child’s compl aintBIf you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception(认知)of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person’s per sonality.The study, led by Gary W. Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated(评分)them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual’s becoming a friend and a dating partner. Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive(认知的)processes modify(修改)judgments of attractiveness.“Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind,” said Lewandowski.The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how “attractive” the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants’ current relationship status.“This research provides a positive outcome b y reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people’s impressions of how g ood looking you are,” said Lewandowski.60. What did participants do in the study?A. They exhibited negative characters such as unfairnessand rudeness.B. They rated people’s attractiveness through photographs before and after knowing their personalities.C. They tried to make friends with each other.D. They tried to prove that positive characters make people more attractive.61. What’s the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness?a. find a person having a positive personalityb. view him / her more physically attractivec. want to make friends with him / herd. want to be his / her romantic partnerA. a → b → c → dB. a → c → d → bC. a → c → b → dD. a → d → c → d62. Which of the following is WRONG?A. Personality can change people’s impressions of how good-looking you are.B. Positive personality may lead to more friends.C. The judgment of attractiveness remains unchanged after two people have become close friends.D. According to Lewandowski, the research reminds people to pay more attention to their personality.63. The passage is written in a(n)tone.A. subjectiveB. humorousC. doubtfulD. objectiveCJenny Bowen, an American living in Beijing, has been selected as the only American to carry the 2008 Beijing Olympic torch on Chinese soil. She and seven other non-Chinese winners were chosen from a pool of 262 applicants(申请者)from 47 countries in a contest organized by Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group and the official English-language newspaper, China Daily. When Bowen runs with the Olympic torch, she will not only be representing the United States, but also be representing thousands of Chinese orphans(孤儿).Bowen, a mother of two adopted Chinese daughters, is the executive director of Half the Sky Foundation, an organization which was founded in 1998 and aims to enrich the lives and improve the prospects for orphaned children in China. In nearly 10 years, Bowen and Half the Sky have touched the lives of over 13,000 children. Half the Sky is now present in 36 welfare(福利)institutions in 28 Chinese cities. About 4,000 children are active in the program, whichprovides trained staff, educational tools, medical support and nurturing love for orphans.Bowen hopes that running with the Olympic torch would help draw attention to the children in China. She will be among 19,400 runners who will carry the flame along an 85,000-mile, 130-day route across five continents. Beijing organizers say it will be the longest torch relay in Olympic history.Like Bowen, the seven other non-Chinese winners, including a German engineer and a Venezuelan graphic designer, live in China. Other countries represented will be the Philippines, Colombia, India, Japan and Russia.According to Olympic organizers, candidates(候选人)were selected based on an online vote, committee selection, their “love of Chinese culture and history”and devotion to “communicating information of a real China to their native countries”. Each runner will c arry the torch for 200 meters on Chinese soil.64.

HAPPY LIFE OF A US WOMAN IN CHINA.C. DEVELOPMENT OF CHINESE WELFARE INSTITUTIONS.D. THE LONGEST TORCH RELAY IN OLYMPIC HISTORY.68. The text is a(n)____.A. biographyB. argumentC. news reportD. advertisementDSeveral European countries rang in the New Year in new ways.The smoke-filled cafe became a thing of memory in France. Cigarettes were forbidden in all indoor locations such as dance clubs, restaurants, hotels, casinos(赌场)and cafés from Jan. 1, 2008. President Nicolas Sarkozy gave the first traditional New Year’s greeting of his presidency, with a “message of hope, faith in life and in the future”.In Russia, Vladimir Putin delivered the last New Year’s Eve address of his eight-year presidency, boasting of(夸耀)economic improvements and claiming to have restored a sense of unity among Russians, who are likely to see him stay in power as Prime Minister after he steps down in a few months. In Moscow, thousands gathered in Red Square, watching a concert beneath the onion domes(圆顶)of StBasil’s Cathedral, and fireworks above.Along with the innovations, old traditions were maintained.More than a million people in New York’s Times Square cheered at the 100th drop of a giant ball. A century ago the tradition began with a 700-pound ball of wood and iron, lit with 100 25-watt bulbs. This year’s event featured an energy-efficient ball clothed in Waterford crystals(水晶), with 9,576 light-shining diodes(二极管)that generated a lot of colors.In London, people gathered in Trafalgar Square and along the banks of the River Thames to watch a firework display and hear Big Ben welcome the New Year with 12 resounding bongs.In Sydney — one of the first cities to celebrate the New Year —one million people cheered as fireworks were launched from the Harbor Bridge on New Year’s Eve.69.

AMarineLand Theme ParkWith numerous rides,a variety of wildlife from both land and sea and shows filled with action-packed excitement,no wonder it’s a hit with visitors from all over the world.Whether riding on the world’s biggest steel roller coaster,Dragon Mountain,or enjoying a show filled with fun-loving dolphins and intelligent whales,you’re sure to have the time of your life at MarineLand.Having been in business for more than 50 years,this park has something for every member of the family!Highlights&Attractions:The King Waldorf Stadium Show:This entertaining,educational and heart-warming show features dolphins,white whales,sea lions,and walruses and is sure to leave you in awe as well as help you understand and appreciate these wonderful marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物).Arctic Cove:It featuring one of the largest white whale collections in the world,visitors are able to purchase a pass to Arctic Cove where they can touch andfeed the whales as well as view them underwater.Friendship Cove:Breathtaking underwater viewing allows you to enter the magic world of the killer whale below the water surface or on a surface level walkwav.Hotels:Villager Lodge:It is located in Niagara Falls,Ontario.Diplomat Inn:Within half a mile of the Skylon Tower,it is the choice for an inexpensive location.Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel&Spa:It is close to popular attractions and the Scotiabank Convention Center.Days Inn Lundy’s Lane:It is located just two miles from the gorgeous Niagara Falls and the Skylon Tower Observation Deck.Hours of Operation:10:00 am-5:00 pm(Sept.11th—Oct.13th)Phone:417—823—09811.What can be learned about MarineLand Theme Park?A.It is only suitable for kids.B.It was opened fifty years ago.C.It has both 1and and marine animals.D.It has the world’s biggest roller coaster.2.What is special about Arctic Cove?A.It has the largest white whale collection in the world.B.It allows visitors to enter the magic world of the killer whale.C.It features an entertaining show starring various marine mammals.D.It provides visitors with a chance to interact with white whales personally.3.Which hotel suits you best if you have a tight budget?A.Diplomat Inn.B.Villager Lodge.C.Days Inn Lundy’s Lane.D.Marriott Niagara Fails Fallsview Hotel&Spa.BA few weeks ago,I bought a locally-grown salad from a vending machine(自动售货机).But then I immediately realized that it was packaged in a plastic jar.“I guess I live with this jar now and forever.”I thought sadly as I stared down at my new child.The salad jar was only the latest in a long line of examples of how I am addicted to the responsibility of reusing everything,trying to never throw anything away.Water bottles have been given second lives,and berry containers are transformed into Tupperware.I recently even looked at a plastic straw in my fruit juice:Could I reuse it too…?Yet trying to squeeze my salad jar under my kitchen counter this weekend,I finally had to admit:Being an environmentalist has turned me into a hoarder(囤积者).While keeping a certain number of jars and vegetable bags will allow me not to buy new containers,at a certain point those 30 berry containers begin to get a bit unnecessary.Who am I kidding?Then one day I came across a blog post that asks accusingly.“Are you turning your own home into a landfill(垃圾填埋场)?”In my defense,there is absolutely no excuse not to be a conscious consumer.The solution is painfully obvious,but hard to admit:Delaying waste is not,in fact,rejecting waste.In an over-packaged,over-consuming culture,this can feel like a burden.While I refuse to throw away packaging,the fact remains:I already have it.The damage is done.I’ve been ignoring one of the most essential and difficult parts—reduce,reuse,recycle.Even if I go out of my way to reuse the waste I do have,I need to reduce what I am bringing home in the first place.While I might not be ready to go full zero-waste,it’s a goal that is admirable to work toward.Until then,my salad jar child is going to make a great overnight oats jar.4.What does the author try to indicate by the last sentence in paragraph 2 ? A.How important reusing is.B.How enthusiastic she is about reusing.C.How she makes use of the plastic straw.D.Why she is responsible for reusing plastic straws.5.Why does the author say she has turned into a hoarder?A.She enjoys collecting a variety of small jars.B.She has saved far more containers than she needs.C.She likes the idea of saving fine packages in daily life.D.She stores more berry containers than other containers.6.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to?A.Over-packaging.B.Delaying waste.C.Over-consuming.D.Rejecting waste.7.The author realizes at last that she should___________.A.buy fewer over-packaged goodsB.throw away unnecessary packagingC.reuse materials as much as possibleD.appreciate the value of recycling materialsCIt is common for adults to use“baby talk”when interacting with babies.This way of speaking attempts to imitate the sounds babies make when they first try to talk.But is this form of communication helpful to a child’s development?Several studies have suggested a clear link between parental language methods and a child’s early language development.Studies showed that language learning in babies was improved when parents spoke more than a few simple words and used a wider vocabulary.Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could have an influence on language development.One such speaking style is known as“parentese”.Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life.Generally,parentese involves adults speaking in a higher voice and at a slower speed.The language is simplified,while sentences are short and often repeated.Studies from the past 30 years have confirmed that babies spoken to in parentese developed larger vocabularies throughout the first three years of life.A new study on the subject,a project of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences,examined whether parents can be effectively taught methods to improve their parentese skills.Naj a Ferjan Ramírez.working in the Institute for Learning&Brain Sciences,said that the parents involved in the research were first shown the importance of language input for their baby’s development.Parents were then given suggestions on how to use different parentese methods,and then rated on how well they used these methods with their child.She added that the new study is important because there are still a 1ot of parents with little knowledge about how to use parentese to help their child.This was one reason the researchers included parents from different cultural and economic groupings.8.How do parents usually talk with their babies?A.By speaking in a funny style.B.By copying babies’sounds.C.By raising speaking speed.D.By whispering in babies’ears.9.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.Babies’language skills are decided by talent.B.Babies’language is improved by simple words.C.Parental language style helps improve babies’behavior.D.Parental language methods affect babies’language development.10.Where can you find how parents were trained in parentese skills?A.In paragraph 2.B.In paragraph 3.C.In paragraph 4.D.In paragraph 5.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.Communicating with babies matters moreB.Parentese is a good way to practice languageC.The more parents help,the better babies 1earnD.Speaking parentese helps with babies’language learningDGwheezie,a nurse,wrote about her heart attack symptoms on social media.“Last Sunday I had a heart attack.I’m alive because I called 911.I never had chest pain.It wasn’t what you read in brochures.”Gwheezie pointed out that she recently helped her neighbor clean out the garden and actually thought it was muscle strain(扭伤).The pain ran across her upper back,shoulders and equaly down both arms.“I’d just written it off because it wasn’t really bad,”Gwheezie said.She even drove six hours to help her mother the day before the actual attack came.However,she almost died because she didn’t call it“chest pain”.“I was lucky,”she wrote.“And I wanted to warn women our heart attacks feel different.”“Pain that comes and goes seems like a surprising symptom,but it’s actually common for heart disease,”women’s health expert,Jennifer Haythe says.“Some women will experience chest pain,but it may feel different than the typical ‘crushing pain(压迫性疼痛)’men will describe.Other women won’t have chest pain at all,which can be deadly.”Sanjiv Patel,MD,says.“Women are far morelikely to develop untypical symptoms for a heart attack,including indigestion,shortness of breath,tiredness,and arm,neck and back pain,etc.”But there are ways to distinguish if the pain is heart-related.“If you have pain and it gets worse when you exhaust yourself,that’s more likely to be a sign,”Patel says.“If you have pain and difficulty breathing when you’re sitting and watching TV,you get up and walk around and it goes away,the pain is probably not related to your heart.Moreover,if it comes back the next day for a longer period of time.you’11 want to see a doctor.”“Any new symptom that doesn’t feel quite right calls for an immediate call or visit to your doctor,”Haythe says.“Take your body seriously.It’s usually telling you something.”12.Why did Gwheezie post her heart attack symptoms on social media?A.To raise some money.B.To record the process.C.To inform other women.D.To share her lucky story.13.What does the underlined phrase“written it off”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Ignored it.B.Recorded it.C.Treated it.D.Discovered it.14.What do Jennifer Haythe’s words indicate?A.Pain is a fairly rare symptom for heart disease.B.Chest pain may be a good thing for heart disease.C.Women are far more likely to die of heart disease.D.Men have more chest pain symptoms than women.15.How can we distinguish heart-related pain?A.Ftom the breath and sleep.B.Ftom the position and frequency.C.From the tiredness and heart beats.D.From the degree and length.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

B.Egyptian exhibits are on display.C.They're open all year round. D.They're located downtownBWhat is the most meaningless thing every Texan will do at the same time this weekend?You guessed it. We will “fall back” when our clocks are set backward one hour in observance of daylight saving time.This strange practice has an interesting history. In 1784, Benjamin Franklin published a critical essay in a French newspaper suggesting that Parisians could save $200 million through “the economy of using sunshine instead of candles”. Therefore, many people owe the origin of the idea of daylight saving time to our Founding Father's writings. In the United States, the clock-changing practice began just over 100 years ago, in 1918, when Congress decided to control time by passing the Standard Time Act to save energy and create time zones. Back then, coal was our top energy source and ensuring that Americans had more daylight working hours made sense.In 2008, the U. S. Department of Energy assessed the effect of observing daylight saving time on national energy consumption. It found that resetting our clocks amounts to a reduction in our total energy consumption of 0.02%. The study also determined that sticking with one time could actually save about 0.5% of electricity per day nationwide. Apart from this, the risk of heart attack increases 10% in the days following springing forward, most likely caused by the interruption of biological rhythms. Studies also indicate we are more likely to get sick, we are less productive, and frankly we are just exhausted directly following the time change.It is hard to explain why we still change our clocks. Perhaps it is due to special interests. Congress passed the Energy Act of 2005, which extended the length of daylight saving time an extra week in the fall, in large part due to an effort by candy producers to allow for an additional daylight hour on the night of Halloween for trick -or - treating.This May, we sought to end this ancient practice. It would have allowed Texans to vote whether to stay on standard time year-round or daylight saving time year-round. Our proposal passed the House 133-9. Sadly, once the bill reached the Senate,it was never referred to a committee. The proposal died in the Senate without even a word spoken about it on the floor.I'm moving forward with plans to file the legislation again in 2021.I urge you to contact your state legislators to move this legislation forward so that this weekend will be one of the last times we have to “fall back.”24. The possible origin of the idea of daylight saving time is .A. the ancient legal actB. the influence of other countriesC. the need for time zonesD. the advice from a famous politician25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The reasons for health problems.B. The downsides of setting clocks back.C. The changes in energy consumption.D. The solutions to electricity shortages.26. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that .A. daylight saving time will last for another two yearsB. the author will continue what he has been doingC. Texans voted for standard time year-roundD. state legislators are for the proposal27. The passage aims to ____________ .A.analyze the practice of daylight saving timeB.explain the consequences of daylight saving timeC.convince people of the necessity of daylight saving timeD.persuade people to make efforts to stop daylight saving timeCOne day in 1995, a large, heavy middle­aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief.“But I wore the juice,” he mumbled. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source, he should have been completely invisible.The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the“Dunning­Kruger effect”,and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self­assessment.To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall,as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did —by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two­thirds of the other students!Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester­long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man (1871): “Ignorance mor e frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self­assess their abilities. As much as D­ and F­grade students overestimate their abilities, A­grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self­assessment given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.28. Which of the following statements about the DunningKruger effect is true?A.The effect is true for everyone in daily life.B.It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.C.Some people are overconfident about their abilities.D.The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.29. What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove?A.Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.B.Incompetent people have a rigid attitude towards their choice.C.Good students can predict their future performance accurately.D.People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.30. The underlined word“begets”can be replaced by ________.A.gives rise to B.takes advantage of C.makes up for D.breaks away from31. What can we infer from the passage?A.Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.B.It is difficult for people to evaluate their real competence.C.Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.D.Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.DAn introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight. But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there, and I am proud to be the one to hold it. About ten years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard, and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer. But after a page or two I found myself reading, really reading. Here was — here is — a masterpiece in which every sentence counts, a book packed with significant thought and beautiful, arresting phrases, the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist.To appreciate the rich variety of Mr Lawrence we must read his later novels and his volumes of poetry. But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his typical power. Here are combined and blended (混合的) sort of “realism” and almost lyric (抒情的) imagery and rhythm. The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents; they fall in love, marry, work, fail, succeed, and die. But of their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the stars, Mr Lawrence makes something near to poetry and prose (散文) without violating its proper “other harmony”.Take the marvellous paragraph on next to the last page of Sons and Lovers (Mr Lawrence depends so little on plot in the ordinary sense of the word that it is perfectly fair to read the end of his book first):Where was he? One tiny upright speck of flesh, less than an ear of wheat lost in the field. He could not bear it. On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him, so tiny a spark, into extinction, and yet, almost nothing, he could not be extinct. Night, in which everything was lost, went reaching out, beyond stars and sun, stars and sun, a few bright grains, went spinning round for terror, and holding each other in embrace, there in the darkness that outpassed them all, and left them tiny and daunted (气馁). So much, and himself, infinitesimal, at the core a nothingness, and yet not nothing.Such glorious writing lifts the book far above a novel which is merely a story. I beg the reader to attend to every line of it and not to miss a single one of the many sentences that await and surprise you. Some are enthusiastic and impressive, like the paragraph above; others are keen, “realistic” observations of things and people. In one of his books Mr Lawrence makes a character say, or t hink, that life is“mixed”. That indicates his philosophy and his method. He blends the accurately literal and trivial (琐碎的) with the extremely poetic.To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision, we must go back to two older novelists, Hardy and Meredith. I do not mean that Mr Lawrence derives (源于) directly from them or, indeed, that he is clearly the disciple (弟子) of any master.I do feel simply that he is of the elder stature (名望) of Hardy and Meredith, and I know of no other young novelist who is quite worthy of their company. When I first tried to express this comparison, this connection, I was contradicted by a fellow critic, who pointed out that Meredith and Hardy are entirely unlike each other and that therefore Mr Lawrence cannot resemble both. To be sure, nothing is more hateful than forced comparisons, nothing more boring than to discover parallels between one work of art and another. An artist's mastery consists in his difference from other masters. But to refer a young man of genius to an older one, at the same time pronouncing his independence and originality, is a fair, if not very superior, method of praising him.32.The underlined word “superfluous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.meaningful B.unnecessary C.fundamental D.Fashionable33.
