Recycling Electronic Waste
When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper which said that people were burying old computers in backyards, throwing TVs into streams, and dumping (丢弃) cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies—and people.
Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN—the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before.
But what could they do about this project with e-waste? The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处置) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then, they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.
Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 9, 500 kilograms of e-waste.
The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research, they’d learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling. So, they began learning to refurbish (翻新) computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn’t have their own. In this way, they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time.
For a lasting solution to e-waste, the drop-off center wasn’t enough. Laws would have to be passed. In 2016, WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town, which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste. The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste.
Because of the work of WIN, more and more people, like Alex and his team, are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s harmful garbage.”
24. What was Alex’s worry after he read the article?
A. The littering of e-waste. B. The recycling of plastic.
C. The change of environment. D. The overuse of old computers.
25. What did Alex do to start the project?
A Set up WIN. B. Collect information.
C. Ask friends for help. D. Carry out a survey.
26. Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work?
A. Traditional. B. Competitive.
C. Scientific. D. Convenient.
27. What message does the story convey?
A. There is no end to perfection.
B. Success comes through failure.
C Every positive attitude has a reward.
D. Young people can make a big difference.

Creativity Improves Your Health
Creativity helps us create works of beauty, solve problems, and refresh our bodies and our minds. It’s fun. When you are having fun, you are positively impacting your health. Studies show that engaging in creative behaviors improves brain function, mental health and physical health.
You’ve probably heard of flow — it’s the state you get in when you’re completely absorbed in something. Have you ever been working on a project and completely lost all sense of self and time? That’s flow. It reduces anxiety, boosts your mood, and even slows your heart rate.
It’s not just being in flow that makes you happy. Repetitive creative motions like knitting, drawing, or writing help activate flow, and are all tasks that create a result. When you succeed in creating a result, your brain is flooded with dopamine, a natural anti-depressant that actually helps motivate you, whether or not you’re aware of your increased happiness.
Creativity is also an effective treatment for patients with dementia — a serious illness of the mind. Studies show that creative engagement not only reduces depression and isolation, but can also help people with dementia by sharpening their senses.
The average person has about 60,000 thoughts in a day. A creative act such as crafting can help focus the mind, and has even been compared to meditation due to its calming effects on the brain and body. Even just gardening or sewing releases dopamine.
Creativity reduces anxiety, depression and stress. Studies have found that writing helps people manage their negative emotions in a productive way, and painting or drawing helps people express their mental injury or hurtful experiences that they find too difficult to put into words.
Studies show people who write about their experiences daily actually have stronger immune system function. Writing, a creative work, increases your CD4+ lymphocyte count, the key to your immune system.
Playing music can also function well in your immune system. Studies show that our left brain is responsible for the motor functions, while our right brain focuses on melody. When the two parts work together, our cognitive function improves.
It’s pretty amazing that doing the activities is good for us. Get a pen and start writing or coloring. Get your hands dirty with pottery or gardening or pick up an instrument. Whatever you decide to do, it’s time to start getting creative!
28. Which situation shows that you are in flow?
A You are working with a difficult task. B. You are having a boring repetitive action.
C. You get lost and don’t know where to go. D. You are absorbed in a work that interests you.
29. The underlined word “dopamine” in Paragraph 3 is probably ________.
A. an awareness of how to be successful
B. a thought having calming effects on the brain
C. an activity to fight against your negative emotions
D. a material for the functioning of the nervous system
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Repetitive actions can cure patients with mental diseases.
B. Creative activities help you build a stronger immune system.
C. Meditation makes your anxiety, depression and stress disappear.
D. Telling others your hurtful experiences helps improve your health.
D
Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood intersection between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism, materialism...perhaps even a new type of president.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for self-entitlement. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective conscious. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unwittingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼的) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of humility and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Both strengths psychology and narcissism are difficult to understand.
B. Approximately a quarter of kids are potential narcissists.
C. Knowing the kids’ strengths has an opposite effect on making them feel good.
D. An increasing number of youth are showing an inflated sense of self.
32. Why are teenagers’ strengths often mistaken for narcissism?
A. Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public.
B. Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.
C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
D. A number of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
33. What’s the author’s attitude towards strength-based parenting?
A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Favorable. D. Cautious.
34. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Recipe for Self-entitlement
B. Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C. Binary Thinking of Psychological Science
D. Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood

People Who Can’t Count
A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent.
So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. ____35____ For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them.
___36___ They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers.
There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. ____37____ If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations.____38____ This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday.
On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have no problem learning to read or write. ___39___
A. Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all.
B. This disability scares children away from learning mathematics.
C. They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects.
D. It is quite reasonable for dyscalculics to solve this kind of specific problem at any time.
E. They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip.
F. We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence.
G. This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Judgement is a quality that is hard to define but important to possess. Sir Andrew Likierman of the London Business School suggests that judgment is “the combination of personal qualities with relevant knowledge and experience to form opinions and take decisions”. And he argues that, thus defined, judgment involves a process—taking in information, deciding whom and what to trust, summarizing one’s personal knowledge, checking any prior beliefs or feelings, summarizing the available choices and then making the decision.
Expert knowledge can be useful in making judgments. But it is not the same thing. “Academics have expert knowledge,” Sir Andrew observes. “They don’t necessarily have judgment.” People with judgment know when they are out of their depth in making a decision and typically then seek the advice of someone who has the right background and knowledge. “While good judgment is important to success,” Sir Andrew cautions, “success is not a signal that there has been good judgment.”
The degree of judgment required tends to increase as people take on more responsibility. Those with routine tasks generally have limited scope for judgment. Line supervisors have some discretion (自行决定权). For a chief executive, the proportion of decisions involving judgment is high. Deciding not to take action is also a judgment with potentially serious consequences (for example, “I won’t get vaccinated” or “I won’t pay my bills”). The world is full of people whose lack of judgment brought their careers or personal life crashing down. Many made the common mistake of assuming everything was fine.
As artificial intelligence gets used for more and more routine tasks in the service sector, exercising judgment may be one area where humans retain an edge over machines. This is far from certain, however. With enough practice, machines may be able to recognize these implicit cues and thus display the equivalent of good judgment. But then, perhaps humans can be taught, too. In the long run, one of the trickiest aspects of human judgment may be knowing precisely when to let machines take decisions and when to leave it to people.
40. What’s Sir Andrew’s definition of judgement?
41. Why does Andrew say that expert knowledge is not the same as making judgements?
42. Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.
Good judgement is important to success and a successful person definitely has good judgement.
43. Please list a factor except “judgement” that can lead to success and explain why. (about 40 words)

Recycling Electronic Waste
When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an alarming article in the newspaper which said that people were burying old computers in backyards, throwing TVs into streams, and dumping (丢弃) cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies—and people.
Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN—the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before.
But what could they do about this project with e-waste? The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans. They learned how to dispose (处置) of e-waste properly and how it could be recycled. Then, they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.
Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 9, 500 kilograms of e-waste.
The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research, they’d learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling. So, they began learning to refurbish (翻新) computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn’t have their own. In this way, they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time.
For a lasting solution to e-waste, the drop-off center wasn’t enough. Laws would have to be passed. In 2016, WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town, which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste. The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste.
Because of the work of WIN, more and more people, like Alex and his team, are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste. As Alex says, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s harmful garbage.”
24. What was Alex’s worry after he read the article?
A. The littering of e-waste. B. The recycling of plastic.
C. The change of environment. D. The overuse of old computers.
25. What did Alex do to start the project?
A. Set up WIN. B. Collect information.
C. Ask friends for help. D. Carry out a survey.
26. Which can best describe the way Alex and his team did their work?
A. Traditional. B. Competitive.
C. Scientific. D. Convenient.
27. What message does the story convey?
A. There is no end to perfection.
B. Success comes through failure.
C. Every positive attitude has a reward.
D. Young people can make a big difference.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D

Creativity Improves Your Health
Creativity helps us create works of beauty, solve problems, and refresh our bodies and our minds. It’s fun. When you are having fun, you are positively impacting your health. Studies show that engaging in creative behaviors improves brain function, mental health and physical health.
You’ve probably heard of flow — it’s the state you get in when you’re completely absorbed in something. Have you ever been working on a project and completely lost all sense of self and time? That’s flow. It reduces anxiety, boosts your mood, and even slows your heart rate.
It’s not just being in flow that makes you happy. Repetitive creative motions like knitting, drawing, or writing help activate flow, and are all tasks that create a result. When you succeed in creating a result, your brain is flooded with dopamine, a natural anti-depressant that actually helps motivate you, whether or not you’re aware of your increased happiness.
Creativity is also an effective treatment for patients with dementia — a serious illness of the mind. Studies show that creative engagement not only reduces depression and isolation, but can also help people with dementia by sharpening their senses.
The average person has about 60,000 thoughts in a day. A creative act such as crafting can help focus the mind, and has even been compared to meditation due to its calming effects on the brain and body. Even just gardening or sewing releases dopamine.
Creativity reduces anxiety, depression and stress. Studies have found that writing helps people manage their negative emotions in a productive way, and painting or drawing helps people express their mental injury or hurtful experiences that they find too difficult to put into words.
Studies show people who write about their experiences daily actually have stronger immune system function. Writing, a creative work, increases your CD4+ lymphocyte count, the key to your immune system.
Playing music can also function well in your immune system. Studies show that our left brain is responsible for the motor functions, while our right brain focuses on melody. When the two parts work together, our cognitive function improves.
It’s pretty amazing that doing the activities is good for us. Get a pen and start writing or coloring. Get your hands dirty with pottery or gardening or pick up an instrument. Whatever you decide to do, it’s time to start getting creative!
28. Which situation shows that you are in flow?
A. You are working with a difficult task. B. You are having a boring repetitive action.
C. You get lost and don’t know where to go. D. You are absorbed in a work that interests you.
29. The underlined word “dopamine” in Paragraph 3 is probably ________.
A. an awareness of how to be successful
B. a thought having calming effects on the brain
C. an activity to fight against your negative emotions
D. a material for the functioning of the nervous system
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Repetitive actions can cure patients with mental diseases.
B. Creative activities help you build a stronger immune system.
C. Meditation makes your anxiety, depression and stress disappear.
D. Telling others your hurtful experiences helps improve your health.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明,从事创造性行为可以改善大脑功能、心理健康和身体健康。文章主要说明了创造力的重要作用以及对人的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“You’ve probably heard of flow — it’s the state you get in when you’re completely absorbed in something. Have you ever been working on a project and completely lost all sense of self and time? That’s flow.(你可能听说过“心流”——是指你完全专注于某件事时的状态。你是否曾经在做一个项目的时候完全失去了自我意识和时间感?那就是心流)”可知,你沉浸在你感兴趣的工作中表明你处于心流状态。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“a natural anti-depressant that actually helps motivate you, whether or not you’re aware of your increased happiness”可知,dopamine是一种天然的抗抑郁剂,实际上有助于激励你,不管你是否意识到自己增加了幸福感。故画线词意思可能是“一种神经系统功能的物质”。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Studies show people who write about their experiences daily actually have stronger immune system function. Writing, a creative work, increases your CD4+ lymphocyte count, the key to your immune system.(研究表明,每天写下自己经历的人实际上有更强的免疫系统功能。写作,一项创造性的工作,可以增加你的CD4+淋巴细胞数量,这是你免疫系统的关键)”可知,创造性活动如写作能增强免疫系统。故选B。
D
Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood intersection between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism, materialism...perhaps even a new type of president.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for self-entitlement. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective conscious. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unwittingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼的) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of humility and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Both strengths psychology and narcissism are difficult to understand.
B. Approximately a quarter of kids are potential narcissists.
C. Knowing the kids’ strengths has an opposite effect on making them feel good.
D. An increasing number of youth are showing an inflated sense of self.
32. Why are teenagers’ strengths often mistaken for narcissism?
A. Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public.
B. Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.
C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
D. A number of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
33. What’s the author’s attitude towards strength-based parenting?
A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Favorable. D. Cautious.
34. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Recipe for Self-entitlement
B. Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C. Binary Thinking of Psychological Science
D. Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood
【答案】31. D 32. A 33. C 34. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要论述了一直以来,人们对个人长处和自恋两者之间认识不足导致了对青少年的自信产生误解这一观点。作者认为,以突出孩子们长处为基础的育儿方式是有益的。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. (现在有令人信服的证据表明,自恋正在上升,特别是在我们的年轻人当中)”及“The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism, materialism...perhaps even a new type of president. (“我这一代”膨胀的自我表现在真人秀、名人崇拜、失控的消费主义、物质主义,甚至可能是一个新型的总统等方面)”可知,越来越多的年轻人表现出自我膨胀的感觉。故选D项。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容及第五段关键句“It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths.While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective conscious.(这在一定程度上是因为人们对自恋的了解超过了对优势的了解。虽然优势心理学在很大程度上还停留在学术期刊的范围内,或者只应用于特定的环境,如工作场所,但对自恋的研究已经进入了大众媒体和我们的集体意识)”可知,青少年的优点经常被认为是自恋是由于大众对于优势心理学有较少接触。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段关键句“In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for self-entitlement. (在我自己关于以力量为基础的育儿方式的研究中,人们通常错误地将这种方式称为自我授权的秘诀)”及最后一段关键句“but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths. (但我想为成千上万和我一起工作过的孩子们说话,他们有爱心、有思想、谦逊——即使当他们发挥自己的长处时)”可推知,作者对以长处为基础的育儿方式持赞成态度。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段关键句“A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood intersection between strength-based science and the research on narcissism. (一个恰当的例子是基于优势的科学和对自恋的研究之间棘手而又被误解的交叉)”及最后一段“It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.(我们很容易得出这样的结论:每个年轻人都有成为自恋者的风险,但我想为我工作过的成千上万的孩子们说话,他们是有爱心的、有思想的、谦逊的——即使当他们发挥自己的长处时)”可知,本文主要论述了一直以来,人们对个人长处和自恋两者之间认识不足导致了对青少年的自信产生误解这一观点。D选项“Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood(青少年的自信被误解)”适合作为本文最佳标题。故选D项。

People Who Can’t Count
A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent.
So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. ____35____ For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them.
___36___ They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers.
There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. ____37____ If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations.____38____ This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday.
On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have no problem learning to read or write. ___39___
A. Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all.
B. This disability scares children away from learning mathematics.
C. They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects.
D. It is quite reasonable for dyscalculics to solve this kind of specific problem at any time.
E. They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip.
F. We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence.
G. This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened.
【答案】35. C 36. A 37. G 38. E 39. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对计算障碍患者的特征进行了介绍,并表明这只是一种学习障碍,而不是智力的普遍表现。
【35题详解】
根据后文“For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. (例如,他们需要数桌子上的书,然后才能说出有多少)”可知,此处是指即使数量很少他们也必须数过才知道,所以选项C(他们必须通过例行的计算,即使是少量的对象。)切合文意。故选C。
【36题详解】
根据后文“They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. (例如,他们无法理解为什么二加三等于五)”可知,此处是指计算障碍患者在计算方面有困难,所以选项A(计算障碍患者在使用数字方面有困难)切合文意。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据前文“There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. (对于计算障碍来说,时间的抽象概念也存在问题)”可知,因为时间的抽象概念也存在问题,所以他们阅读日程安排和记住时间的发展顺序有困难。所以选项G(这可以解释为什么他们很难阅读时间表和记住事情发生的顺序)切合文意。故选G。
【38题详解】
前文“In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations. (此外,研究表明,计算障碍患者在社交场合会表现得很奇怪)”对应选项E中的“They never know how much they should tip the waiter(他们从来不知道应该给服务员多少小费)”,后文“This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday.(这种差劲的能力可以解释为什么他们永远不知道他们该付多少零钱,或者他们的假期需要什么样的预算)”与选项E中的“they’ve got left after a shopping trip(他们在购物后剩下多少钱)”相对应,所以选项E(他们永远不知道应该给服务员多少小费,也不知道购物后还剩下多少钱)切合文意。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据前文“On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. (另一方面,计算障碍患者擅长创造性艺术。患有计算障碍人可以成为画家或诗人。计算障碍似乎不会延迟语言习得)”可知,计算障碍并不意味着智力低下。所以选项F(我们可以看到,计算障碍只是一种学习障碍,而不是智力的普遍表现)切合文意。故选F。

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Judgement is a quality that is hard to define but important to possess. Sir Andrew Likierman of the London Business School suggests that judgment is “the combination of personal qualities with relevant knowledge and experience to form opinions and take decisions”. And he argues that thus defined, judgment involves a process—taking in information, deciding whom and what to trust, summarizing one’s personal knowledge, checking any prior beliefs or feelings, summarizing the available choices and then making the decision.
Expert knowledge can be useful in making judgments. But it is not the same thing. “Academics have expert knowledge,” Sir Andrew observes. “They don’t necessarily have judgment.” People with judgment know when they are out of their depth in making a decision and typically then seek the advice of someone who has the right background and knowledge. “While good judgment is important to success,” Sir Andrew cautions, “success is not a signal that there has been good judgment.”
The degree of judgment required tends to increase as people take on more responsibility. Those with routine tasks generally have limited scope for judgment. Line supervisors have some discretion (自行决定权). For a chief executive, the proportion of decisions involving judgment is high. Deciding not to take action is also a judgment with potentially serious consequences (for example, “I won’t get vaccinated” or “I won’t pay my bills”). The world is full of people whose lack of judgment brought their careers or personal life crashing down. Many made the common mistake of assuming everything was fine.
As artificial intelligence gets used for more and more routine tasks in the service sector, exercising judgment may be one area where humans retain an edge over machines. This is far from certain, however. With enough practice, machines may be able to recognize these implicit cues and thus display the equivalent of good judgment. But then, perhaps humans can be taught, too. In the long run, one of the trickiest aspects of human judgment may be knowing precisely when to let machines take decisions and when to leave it to people.
40. What’s Sir Andrew’s definition of judgement?
41. Why does Andrew say that expert knowledge is not the same as making judgements?
42. Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.
Good judgement is important to success and a successful person definitely has good judgement.

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear from you. Regarding your question about ordering meals online in China, I don’t often order takeout. I think it has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it’s very convenient, especially when I’m busy or don’t want to cook. It saves time and effort. On the other hand, the quality of the food may not always be guaranteed, and sometimes the packaging can cause environmental pollution. However, overall, it’s a popular way of dining in China.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Yours,
Li Hua
