Leonard In the third instalment (节) of the Twitchers series, our young birdwatching detectives are on the track of a thief who’ s stealing wild birds’ eggs in the woods. The detectives secretly watch for the criminal but things go badly wrong. Soon they have to prove their innocence and catch the real thief—before any more birds get hurt. Flight By Mya-Rose Craig Illustrated by Lynn Scourfield Explore the secret routes of the skies from a bird’s-eye view, with this illustrated guide written by activist Mya-Rose Craig. The book follows seven amazing birds including the Arctic tern and the swallow, as they set out on journeys across the world. The Children’s Book of Birdwatching By Dan Rouse Written by TV presenter and bird expert Dan Rouse, this nature-friendly guide to birdwatching is packed with information, tips and activities. Learn about the challenges birds face, make your outdoor space bird-friendly, and try some fun handwork projects that will help our feathered friends. 1. What information does Clutch convey? A. Birds are our friends. B. We should protect birds. C. Birds are amazing animals. D. We can help birds in many ways. 2. Which of the following books attracts keen travellers most? A. Birdsong B. Clutch C. Flight D. The Children’s Book of Birdwatching 3. What does the four books above have in common? A. Their plots are full of adventures and thrills. B. Their characters grew up with their bird friends. C. They are accompanied by beautiful illustrations. D. They boost relationship between human and birds. B When I began to learn Chinese, I pursued what many around me saw as an unconventional strategy. Instead of painstakingly writing out characters and practising sentence order, I set out to make as much of a fool of myself as possible. I spoke my mistake-ridden Chinese with friends, annoyed teachers with bad jokes and punished my ears with native music and podcasts. It wasn't perfect, but it was enough to interview people and read short news articles in just a year. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant neatly sums up this method alongside other systems and qualities in his new book. “Being a creature of discomfort,” Grant writes, “can unlock hidden potential to do greater things than their background or experience might suggest.” This is essential for more than learning a skill or a language; this is what he says takes individuals to the pinnacle (顶峰) of their industry. Grant writes that universities and companies should take more steps to recognize potential, and where an individual has overcome difficulties like growing up in poverty. This quantifying the unquantifiable could be done, he suggests, by looking at the rate of change of a student's grades as well as the final score. The example of Mexican-American Jose Hernandez comes to mind. The astronaut attained his dream of joining NASA after being rejected countless times by a system that did not take into account his different experiences working as a farm labourer when he was young and overcoming struggles. Systems, therefore, need to change to find the best people. This is also a key message in the book: Improve the pipelines so that better people come up in the future. 4. What did the author do to learn Chinese initially? A. He read the latest stories. B. He wrote out characters carefully. C. He did sentence order exercises regularly. D. He spoke the language regardless of errors. 5. What can lead one to remarkable success according to Grant? A. Putting oneself in uncomfortable situations. B. Having a strong educational background. C. Obtaining relevant work experience. D. Keeping comfortable relationships. 6. What does Grant expects schools to do? A. Prioritize students' social skills. B. Focus on students 'final assessment results. C. Track the progress of students' performance. D. Ask students to learn from great individuals. 7. What might be the title for Grant’s new book? A. Breaking Through Rejections: You Are Your Own Boss B. Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things C. The Unconventional Path: Breaking Norms for Personal Growth D. From Poverty to Pinnacle: Redefining Success Through Strategies C Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city — in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community. At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密) and exciting urban environments. She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity. For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials. The best judges of how a city should be — and how it should develop — are the local residents themselves. Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions. Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks. The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another. Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better. Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form. The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people. There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused. Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact. Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality. They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”: shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood. 8. What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community? A. Efficient public transport. B. Strong interaction between people. C. Uniform style of buildings. D. A comparatively large population. 9. Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development? A. Local residents. B. Government officials. C. City planners. D. Construction workers. 10. How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built? A. Lined with plants. B. Painted with clear signs. C. Tightly connected. D. Convenient for the old. 11. According to Jacobs, the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of _______. A. pride B. comfort C. security D. urgency D Want to learn a new language or get A’s in college exams? Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (转换) new information into long-term memory. A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning. Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning. Participants — 72 healthy male and female adults — were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two-thirds of them also exercised. Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test. The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested. Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test, and they were connected to MRI (磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity. The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately. Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned. According to this research, the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying. But why? That’s one question the researchers have yet to answer. Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning. I’ve run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout. But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning. 12. What did the new study aim to explore? A. When exercise is best for learning. B. What biochemicals are good for health. C. How brainwaves should be measured. D. Which area of the brain is the most active. 13. What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment? A. Train on bicycles. B. Do mathematics exercises. C. Play computer games. D. Watch films about nature. 14. Why did the participants return to the lab two days later? A. To do a medical examination. B. To have their memory tested. C. To get their workouts recorded. D. To finish their previous tasks. 15 What might the author’s marathon running prove? A. The findings of the study are reliable. B. Long-distance runners are often smart. C Studies on the marathon are not enough. D. Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown.

Breaking Through Rejections: You Are Your Own Boss B. Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things C. The Unconventional Path: Breaking Norms for Personal Growth D. From Poverty to Pinnacle: Redefining Success Through Strategies 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，主要讲述作者通过非常规方法学习中文的经历，引出Adam Grant在其新书中提出的观点：通过走出舒适区、改变评估体系来发掘个人潜力，从而取得更大成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Instead of painstakingly writing out characters and practising sentence order, I set out to make as much of a fool of myself as possible. I spoke my mistake - ridden Chinese with friends(我没有煞费苦心地写字，练习句子顺序，而是尽可能地让自己出丑。我和朋友们说着我那充满错误的中文)”可知，作者最初学习中文时，不顾错误地开口说中文。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“‘Being a creature of discomfort,’ Grant writes, ‘can unlock hidden potential to do greater things than their background or experience might suggest. This is what he says takes individuals to the pinnacle (顶峰) of their industry.’(格兰特写道：“做一个不舒服的人，可以释放潜在的潜力，让他们做比背景或经历所暗示的更伟大的事情。”这就是他所说的将个人推向行业巅峰的方式。)” 可知，格兰特认为让人处于不适的状态能释放隐藏潜力，使人取得非凡的成功。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Grant writes that universities and companies should take more steps to recognize potential, and where an individual has overcome difficulties like growing up in poverty. This quantifying the unquantifiable could be done, he suggests, by looking at the rate of change of a student's grades as well as the final score.(格兰特写道，大学和公司应该采取更多措施来发现潜力，以及个人克服了贫困等困难的地方。他建议，通过观察学生的成绩变化率和最终分数，可以对无法量化的东西进行量化。)”可知，格兰特期望学校关注学生成绩的变化率，即跟踪学生成绩的进步情况。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段的句子“‘Being a creature of discomfort,’ Grant writes, ‘can unlock hidden potential to do greater things than their background or experience might suggest.’ This is essential for more than learning a skill or a language; this is what he says takes individuals to the pinnacle (顶峰) of their industry.’(格兰特写道：‘做一个不舒服的人，可以释放潜在的潜力，让他们做比背景或经历所暗示的更伟大的事情。’这不仅是学习一门技能或一门语言的必要条件；这就是他所说的将个人推向行业巅峰的方式。)”可知，Grant的书核心是“潜力”与“科学方法”。选项B“Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things(隐藏的潜力：取得更大成就的科学)”直接呼应主题。故选B。 C Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city — in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.

(她构想的核心在于，城市生活应当充满活力且丰富多彩，人们能够在密集且令人兴奋的城市环境中相互交流。)”可知，Jacobs认为对于一个成功的城市社区来说，人与人之间的强烈互动是最重要的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For Jacobs (对于Jacobs来说)”以及“The best judges of how a city should be — and how it should develop — are the local residents themselves. (一个城市应该如何发展，最好的评判者是当地居民自己。)”可知，Jacobs认为对城市发展做出决定的应该是当地居民。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another. Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better. (人们居住的街道应当是纵横交错的人行道构成的紧密格局，这样人们才能相遇、交谈并相互了解。这样一系列复杂但最终丰富了个人经历的相遇，有助于人们更好地了解自己的邻居和社区。)”可知，Jacobs建议如何修建连接紧密的人行道。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”: shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood. (它们也是安全的地方，因为人口密度高意味着有更多“街头的眼睛”：店主和当地人熟悉自己的区域，并密切留意着社区的情况。)”可知，Jacobs认为，“街头的眼睛”给人带来一种安全的感觉。故选C项。 D Want to learn a new language or get A’s in college exams?

A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning. Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning. Participants — 72 healthy male and female adults — were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two-thirds of them also exercised. Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test. The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested.
