B Fooled by Randomness is a famous book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb's landmark Incerto series,an investigation of luck,uncertainty,probability,human error,risk,and decision-making in a world we don't understand. Now in a striking new hardcover edition,Fooled by Randomness will change the way you think about business and the world.Nassim Nicholas Taleb has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill. This book is about luck-or more precisely,about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business.Set against the background of the most notable forum in which luck is mistaken for skill-the world of trading-Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives.Writing in an entertaining narrative style,the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives. The book is populated with a number of characters,some of whom have grasped,in their own way, the significance of chance:the baseball legend Yogi Berra;the philosopher of knowledge Karl Popper; the modern financier George Seros;and the Greek voyager Odysseus.We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life but falls victim to his own rrational foolishness. However,the most recognizable character of all remains unnamed-the lucky fool who happens to be in the right ptace at the cight time-he embodies the "survival of the least fit."Such individuals attract devoted foilowers who believe in their mentor's()insights and methods.But no one can copy what is obtained by chance. Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan(冒充内行的人)from the genuine innovator?Must we always try to uncover nonexistent messages in random events?It may be impossible to guard ourselves against the unpredictability of the goddess Fortuna,but after reading Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared. 24.What is Fooled by Randomness mainly about? A.The success of modern traders. B.The importance of skill in trading. C.The role of luck in life and business. D.The impact of human errors on decision-making. 25 What's the purpose of mentioning the characters in paragraph 4? A.To emphasize their success in the trading world. B.To highlight the significance of their achievements. C.To illustrate how foolishness always leads to failure. D.To show examples of those who understood randomness 36.What does "lucky fool"in paragraph 5 really refer to? A.A trader known for their skill and achievements. B.A scholar famous for their insights and methods. C.A person who foolishly undervalues hard work and devotion. D.Someone who succeeds mainly by chance rather than by skill. 27.According to the passage,what mistake do people often make? A.They underestimate their personal abilities. B.They overlook significant events in daily life. C.They depend heavily on guidance from mentors.. D.They fail to see how chance contributes to their success. C While we race into a future where we outsource (most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence,the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery.It's mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of arttul thinking is a good way to avoid this.To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains,but also our hands,eyes,and ears,along with our emotions.This approach taps into the cognitive()resources that are spread throughout our bodies but orten go unused. Changing how we think is hard work.And it starts with a mindfulness practice.Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body,how we use our limbs,organs,and emotions to make sense of the world.Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play.For example,gesturing in conversations is not just communicative.These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today,Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear.What makes you stuck in it?It's seeing the same things wherever you look.Big Tech gives you screens,hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices.If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world,improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do,what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools,will not weaken our humanity.As Thich Nhat Hanh said,"Mindful living is an art,and each of us has to train to be an artist." 28.What can we learn about artful thinking? A.It simplifies problem-solving. BIt focuses on developing our brains. C.It prevents us from over-relyang on AI. D.It helps promote high-tech machinery. 29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Benefits of artful intelligence. B.Mind-body awareness in thinking. C.Significance of being mindful. D.Social interaction through movements 30.What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world? A.Enhance the flexibility of attention. B..Adapt to the rise of AI. C.Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D.Improve the levels of focus. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B.Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds C.Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D.Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI D We all pursue an ideal weight number for health and confidence,often using childhood memories, online calculators or BMI charts.However,Dr.Yoni Freedhoff warns these methods fail to consider individual differences.Our bodies change dramatically with age due to metabolism(新陈代谢)aad #五丽卷策而1什0而) lifestyle. For decades,Body Mass Index (BMI)dominated weight assessments.This simple height-weight calculation sorts people from underweight to overweight.Yet Dr.Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems:BMI gives the same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents.It ignores muscle mass,bone density,and health conditions,sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30%of people classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles. Newer metrics like the Body Roundness Index (BRI)focus on waist size instead of weight."Belly fat is more dangerous than overall weight,"says D.Jay.Research indicates fat around organs produces harmful chemicals linked to diabetes and heart disease.However,even BRI has limitations-it can't distinguish between fat types or account for medical conditions affecting belly size,such as digestive disorders. Doctors increasingly emphasize overall health markers over specific weights."Instead of focusing on a magic number,'we examine blood pressure,cholesterol ()sleep quality and energy levels," notes Dr.Jay.For those with weight-related conditions,even 5-10%weight loss can significantly improve health.A 2023 study found patients who achieved modest weight reduction showed better health markers than those pursuing extreme weight loss. The healthiest weight,experts agree,isn't found en eharts but through sustainable habits "When you eat nutritiously and stay active,your body finds its natural healthy weight,"advises Dr.Freedhoff. For some,medications or surgery may help,but the real goal is lifestyle change-not to achieve an ideal number on your seale.True health,after all,is measured not by a momentary reading on a scale,but by the daily choices that nourish both body and life. 32.Why does the author mention 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-eld grandparents? A.To show BMI's limitations. B.To prove BMI's popularity. C.To describe BMI's main users. D.To introduce BMI's target group. 3B.What is the main advantage ofBRI? A.It clarifies different kinds of fat. B.It evaluates all types of body fat. C.It measures highly risky body fat D.It identifies harmful chemicals in fat. 34.What is Dr.Jay's suggestion for weight assessment? A.Stopping using BMI. 8.Focusing on specific weights. C.Considering multiple health signs. D.Adopting rapid weight loss approaches. 35.What does the author think of people's pursuing an ideal weight number? A.Reasonable. B.Unhelpful. C.Dangerous. D.Practical. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 Imagine climbing a mountain and getting half way up and saying to yourself,"You know what,I'm going to climb back down and finish this later." 36 We have projects that sit waiting to be completed.Some people start college but never graduate.We have books that we never finish reading.37 Many people are great at beginning things but can't seem to finish strong. Not finishing what we started has been a repeated problem for us.We have to face it.38 Whenever we delay,or put to the side,the things that will help us accomplish our goals,we stop developing our potential. Not finishing not only causes us to stop making progress but also we find it harder whenever we do *五西兴$∠而1朴0而、 decide to start again.Consider this:every time I begin a new exercise program my muscles are sore ( for a few days.After a few weeks of routine,the muscles get accustomed to the program and grow stronger.Thus,no more sore muscles.Well,when I take some time off,I fear starting again..39 Strong finishers are able to focus on getting the best result from anything that they start.So how do we know that we are a strong finisher.Along with the huge feeling of accomplishment,other people will begin to notice the change.40They will have no choice but to recognize our strong finishing ability.We will be rewarded with more trust from them. A.The list goes on and on. B.We should have the confidence. C.They don't have the interest any more. 0 Sounds silly,but that is what we do all of the time. I know that my muscles are going to be sore again. F They will see we are able to climb and conquer the mountain. G.Not being a strong finisher can limit our ability to conquer our goals. 第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was on the way to my father's house.The constant drizzle made my driving a little 41 Suddenly,my car began ushtauing and 42 toward a bank where it rolled over three times.

My brother and I are only a year apart in age.When we were little,people would ask if we were twins.We lived in the mountains and only had each other for a long time,so we weren't just brother and sister,we were best friends. Everything changed after our parents divorced.He went to live with my father,I with my mother. Sometimes he visited us and sometimes I visited them,out we grew more distant each time.By the time I was thirteen,we'd stopped hanging out altogether.I think the only time we ever spoke was at Christmas, and it was all polite but painfully awkward,like he was a complete stranger instead of my little brother. Several years later,after being accepted to a major university three thousand miles away,I made a bold plan:to drive across the country on my own.The idea of traveling alone thrilled me,filling me with excitement and a hint of nervousness,though I knew that the road could be lonely and unpredictable-endless stretches without seeing a single person,and sometimes even wild animals crossing out of nowhere.My parents,however,thought it would be safer if my brother came along as my travel companion on the long drive to college.Needless to say,we were both furious()about the idea.The last thing either of us wanted was to spend a week in a car together-he,with a sister he barely knew,and I,with a "babysitter"'I never asked for.But it was settled. Two weeks later,we set off.For the first six hundred miles,neither of us spoke much unless absolutely necessary.The silence was thick with tension,and it didn't take long before we argued over what music to play,how fast to drive,and when to take breaks,each ot us stubbornly sticking to our own way,rolling our eyes and sighing in frustration 注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150词左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Just when I thought the trip would be unbearable,something unexpected happened.
