一、阅读理解
Curiosity affects everything from our relationships to our education,but it's not easy to study it.With the help of Wikipedia though,researchers have now done just that,exploring two main types of curiosity.
The resulting study was able to divide the individuals into two previously identified types,as far as curiosity goes:the‘busybody’who explores a lot of diverse information,and the ‘hunter’who stays on a more focused track when it comes to gaining knowledge.
“Wikipedia allowed both introverts(内向的人) and extroverts to have equal opportunity in curious practice,a limitation in other studies of curiosity,while the adfree search engine allowed individuals to truly be captains of their own curiosity ships,”says biophysicist Danielle Bassett,from the University of Pennsylvania.
By recording pages as nodes(节点) and analysing how closely they were related,Bassett and her colleagues were able to find both busybodies and hunters in their pool of volunteers—those who tended to jump all around Wikipedia and those who were more likely to stay on closely related pages.
However,the participants didn't always stick to one type of behaviour or the other,and to find out why the researchers used a wellbeing questionnaire given to the participants before the study began,covering topics like seeking out social interaction and tolerating stress.Based on the surveys,a need to fill specific knowledge gaps seemed to drive hunterstyle behaviour,while a desire to seek out brand new information was an indicator of a busybodystyle of Wikipedia browsing(浏览)—taking larger leaps(跳跃) between nodes or pages.“We assume that a switch from hunter to busybody style might arise due to sensation seeking,or the tendency to pursue novel and exciting information,” says Bassett.
These findings can be useful in a number of ways,including in informing approaches to teaching.Curiosity is also linked to emotional wellbeing:People who are more curious tend to be more satisfied with life and less anxious.By making sure information is available in ways that are accessible,we can encourage curiosity and promote contentment at the same time.
1.Why did the researchers use Wikipedia to do their study?
A.It could arouse a higher level of curiosity.
B.It charged no fees for browsing information.
C.It enabled introverts to switch to extroverts.
D.It caused no disturbance to study participants.
2.What did the researchers find out about busybodies?
A.They took smaller leaps between pages.
B.They tended to browse loosely connected information.
C.They were anxious to narrow specific knowledge gaps.
D.They were more likely to stick to their type of behaviour.
3.What may drive hunters to become busybodies?
A.The desire to seek novelty.
B.A reduction in sensation seeking.
C.A wish to know likeminded individuals.
D.The need to dive deeply into a certain topic.
4.What's the consequence of promoting people's curiosity?
A.Wellrounded individuals.
B.Increased feelings of contentment.
C.Greater ability to figure out problems.
D.More chances to become top teachers.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究者所做的关于两种主要的好奇心类型的研究,并得出结论:培养好奇心有助于人们焦虑的减轻和生活满足感的增加。
1.D [解析]推理判断题。根据第三段可知,他们使用维基百科进行这项研究的一个原因是维基百科上没有广告,参与研究的人员可以做自己好奇心的主人来进行网页浏览。由此推知,维基百科不会对参与研究的人员的好奇心产生干扰。故选D。
2.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the ‘busybody’ who explores a lot of diverse information”及第五段中的“while a desire to seek out brand new information was an indicator of a busybodystyle of Wikipedia browsing—taking larger leaps between nodes or pages”可知,好事的人喜欢跳转到不同的页面去探索大量信息。由此可知,他们倾向于浏览松散连接的信息。故选B。
3.A [解析]细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘We assume that a switch from hunter to busybody style might arise due to sensation seeking,or the tendency to pursue novel and exciting information,’ says Bassett.”可知,寻求新奇的渴望可能促使猎人风格到好事者风格的转变。故选A。
4.B [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Curiosity is also linked to emotional wellbeing:People who are more curious tend to be more satisfied with life and less anxious.”可知,好奇心越强越会使人获得更多满足感。由此推知,激发人们的好奇心会增强人们的满足感。故选B。
二、七选五阅读
Every day,a sea of decisions stretches before us.It's impossible to make a perfect choice every time.But there is one particularly effective technique to improve our chances:critical thinking.
Prepare your question.
1.______ For example,if you're wondering whether to go for fitness,there are many factors that will cloud your reasons.But,if you know clearly what you can get by bodyshaping,that'll help you decide whether it really suits your needs.
Gather your information.
There's lots of it out there,so having a clear idea of your question will help you determine what's relevant.If you're trying to decide on a diet to improve your nutrition,you may ask an expert for their advice,or seek other people's opinions.2.______
Consider the implications.
Imagine you've chosen a business based on his promise to make it cheaper for drivers to fill upon gas.At first glance,that seems great.3.______ If gasoline use is less restricted by cost,this could also cause a huge surge in air pollution—an unintended consequence that's important to think about.
4.______
Ask yourself why so many people are drawn to countless travel trips or destinations.Even if you disagree with everything that travel agencies say,exploring the viewpoints might explain why some routes that don't seem valid to you appeal to others.This will allow you to explore alternatives,evaluate your own choices,and ultimately help you make more informed decisions.
This above process is just one tool,and it certainly won't remove difficult decisions from our lives.5.______ And,if enough of us use it,it has the power to make the world a more reasonable place.
A.Explore other points of view.
B.Apply the information collected.
C.In other words,get to know what you're looking for.
D.Then what about the longterm environmental effects?
E.But it can help us increase the number of positive choices we make.
F.Therefore,ask yourself about what interests you most and what is needed.
G.It helps you weigh different options,moving you closer to a wiser decision.

Getting Quality Sleep Is Important
For us students who are now at a critical stage of growing up,quality sleep provides both mental and physical benefits.It not only relaxes our mind after a whole day of busy study at school,but it helps us keep a clear mind so that we can be more energetic during the daytime.
Since I entered middle school,I have formed the habit of taking a nap after lunch,and by doing that I can have a clear mind and stay focused on the lessons in the afternoon.Besides,I never stay up too late at night.
For your health's sake,I suggest you create a daily schedule for yourself and follow it strictly.I am sure it will be good for your study and health as well.
