She conducted an experiment using a group of undergraduates on a guided tour of the university’s Bellarmine Museum of Art. The students were asked to take photos of objects that they looked at on the tour and to simply observe others. Later, she tested their memory of all the objects they had seen on the tour. The results were clear. Overall, people remembered fewer of the objects they had photographed. They also couldn’t recall as manyspecific visual details of the photographed art, compared to the art they had merely observed.“When you take a photo of something, you’re counting on the camera to remember for you,” Henkel said. “You don’t engage in any of the complex or emotional kinds of processing that really would help you remember those experiences, because you’ve outsourced it to your camera.”Then, Henkel ran another study. This time when people took a tour of the museum, they were asked to take two kinds of photos: those of the objects in the exhibit alone and those with them standing next to the objects. It turns out that it actually changes their viewpoint on the experience, whether they’re in a photo or not. In other words, if you are in the image, you become more removed from the original moment as if you are an observer watching yourself doing something outside yourself. Interestingly, if you are not in the image, you remember more.Henkel doesn’t disagree that the purpose of outsourcing our memory to devices can free up our brains to do other cognitive (认知的) processing. But from the experiments Henkel is sure that cameras can’t compare to what the brain is capable of with input from the eyes and the ears. 4．What can we conclude from Henkel’s first experiment?A．People take photos to remember a moment.B．Taking photos is a complex or emotional process.C．Taking photos influences experience and memory.D．People observe more of the objects when taking photos.5．When you are in a photo, you ______.A．return to the original momentB．remember more about the objectC．change your viewpoint on the photoD．become an observer outside yourself6．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To explain the reasons why people take photos.B．To introduce the disadvantages of taking photos.C．To persuade people not to rely on photos for memory.D．To express disapproval of the use of devices to free brains.The sign on the librarian’s desk read: “Readers Wanted for Project Read Aloud.” Sherenestared at it as the librarian stamped the book that she had selected for her weekly reading fare with a return by date.“What is Project Read Aloud?” Sherene asked.“Here’s the brochure about it. There’s a form inside to fill out if you want to become a reader. There is no pay, by the way,” the librarian said with a smile.Sherene walked home. She loved living within walking distance of her town’s public library. She loved to sit in one of the overstuffed reading chairs in the reading room with the smell of books all around her and lose herself in a book. She had moved away after high school and had recently moved back. The library and fond memories of her childhood had drawn her back to this small town.Once home, she sat down to read the brochure, which said, “Project Read Aloud seeks to provide the opportunity of hearing stories read aloud in a comfortable setting.” That is a fine goal, she thought.Sherene filled out the form. She loved reading aloud. When she was a child, she read aloud to her teddy bear. Later, when she grew up and became a teacher, she read aloud to her students many times throughout the day. Since her retirement, she read aloud only to herself and Boots, her cat. It would feel so good to have a human audience once again to share stories with.A couple of days later, Sherene sat in the now empty small theatre in the library, preparing the first story she was going to read. Soon, the audience began to wander in and find their seats. The theatre was half full in half an hour. Sherene stepped to the edge of the stage and introduced herself. She explained the origin of the story, opened the book and began to read. She wove the tale masterfully creating voices for the characters, pausing for emphasis, and taking the listeners into another world.When Sherene read the last words of the story, there was a momentary silence as it all sank into the listeners and then a burst of enthusiastic applause. At that moment, understanding did grow in the town through the sharing of stories.7．What can we learn about Sherene?A．She used to be a teacher.B．She lived far from the library.C．She liked hearing stories read aloud.D．She was involved in many social activities. 8．Why did Sherene join in Project Read Aloud?A．She wanted to make new friends.B．The project’s goal suited her interest. C．The project brought her extra income.D．She needed to improve her reading ability. 9．Which of the following words can best describe Sherene’s first performance? A．Meaningful and humorous.B．Novel and amusing.C．Impressive and conventional.D．Vivid and absorbing.Many people have participated into lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise.In the study, 602 participants were randomly paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also randomly selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their total number of ideas, as well as those concepts’ degree of novelty, and asked to submit their best idea. Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ resolve to urge or require their employees to come back to the office.“We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation. ”When random objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than letting their look wander about the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the random objects were associated with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. Our look wavers less. “Looking away might come across as rude, ” said Brucks,“so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person. ”Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speakingand her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. Brucks found that one solution to improving virtual idea generation might be to simply turn off the camera, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace.Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face teamwork. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a compromise—a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office.10．What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A．Shake.B．Revise.C．Challenge.D．Strengthen. 11．At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ________. A．videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communicationB．participants should make eye contact in an online meetingC．the feedback from companies seems questionableD．creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts12．What can we learn about Brucks’ class?A．Her students relieved anxiety by speaking up.B．Her students progressed in focusing attention. C．Her students took advantage of virtual learning.D．Her students displayed talent for public speaking.13．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation B．Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea GenerationC．Grouping Randomly Increases Productivity D．Brainstorming Online Limits CreativityEvery year, young, talented, and ambitious nature conservationists from all over the world shoot their shot for the Future For Nature (FFN) Award, an honorable international award.The Future For Nature aims to:·Reward and fund individuals for their outstanding efforts in the protection of species of wild animals and plants.·Stimulate award winners to sustain their dedicated work.·Help winners to raise their profile, extend their professional network and strengthen their funding basis.Benefits·The winners each receive 50,000 euros and may make their own decision to spend the money in the service of nature conservation.·FFN offers the winners a platform and brings their stories to the attention of conservationists, financiers and a wide audience, allowing them to increase their impact and gain more access to funds.·FFN is building a growing family of winners, dedicated people who form a community of people with the same interest.

She knew she was different from her peers because she could not hear. But a painting class in primary school opened for her a door to creativity and a way of expression.“I still remember my first mural, which was to help a kindergarten to design and paint its wall,” Li says. “The project made me realize how happy I was immersing myself into painting.”To pursue her passion for art, Li went to study advertising design at a vocational and technical school. “Painting brushes can help me create a colorful world in my imagination, telling my thoughts on paper, instead of through voices,” Li said.Graduating from college in 2005, Li got a job as a typist at a public institute. But she could not communicate well with her other colleagues. Her husband understood how she felt because he lost his hearing due to medication when he was 1 year old. He is also an art lover. In March 2016, under her husband’s suggestion, Li quit her job and joined her husband’s company, which specializes in 3D wall and ground paintings.Wall painting is a demanding job because it requires people to work outdoors, whether in extremely cold or hot weather. As all the people are hearing-impaired in their company, communication with clients is the most common challenge that the team faces.Now in many parks and scenic spots, the couple have created large-scale murals and interactive pavement painting that make onlookers a part of the drawings.“My husband and I want to introduce painting to more people like us and help them find their own way to make a living,” Li says. Now Li has an apprentice who just graduated from college.While coaching the newcomer, Li is exploring her own style and hopes to become an illustrator and open her own exhibition one day.“They’re energetic young people with a passion to create new things, and you can feel that in their paintings,” one of their clients said. “They’re also a professional, dedicated team, often working late into the night on the designs for us.”Li hopes that their stories can encourage more hearing-impaired people to build their own careers and achieve their goals, regardless of how tough it may be.17．According to the passage, the painting class in primary school ________.A．started Li’s first advertising designB．helped Li find a new way to express herselfC．made Li learn about 3D wall and ground paintingsD．turned Li’s dream of opening an exhibition into reality18．What can we know from this passage?A．Li can communicate with her clients easily.B．Li lost her hearing when she was I year old.C．Li and her husband have created many wonderful paintings.D．Li and her husband hope to become illustrators in the future.19．To help people with hearing loss, what does Li intend to do?A．Donate money to them.B．Design painting gifts for them.C．Inspire them to create their own careers.D．Support them to complete college education. 20．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．One is never too old to learn.B．Failure is the mother of success. C．Accepting what you have makes you happy.D．Nothing is impossible to the man who will try.To help new students, the International Business Institute (IBI) plans to set up a buddy (伙伴) peer support project. The project will help new students meet current students at IBI who can provide them with some friendly company during their first months in Newcastle and help them with any small problems that they may have.What’s in it for you?We believe that being a buddy will be rewarding in several ways. As a volunteer, it will be personally satisfying to know that you are able to help new students. It will also help you make contacts that may be valuable in your future academic and professional lives. If you are an overseas student, it will give you another opportunity to practise speaking English.Responsibilities of buddies·Telephone and arrange to make contact with the new student.·Meet the student and show him/her around the campus and the local area. Answer questions about living in Newcastle and administration procedures at IBI.·Arrange to meet the new student one morning or afternoon one weekend early in the semester, and take the student to places that you enjoy in Newcastle.·Be prepared to take phone calls from the new student to answer further questions that he/she may have from time to time. Meet to explain information to the new student in person, if required.·You will be matched to an individual new student. However, if you have friends who are also buddies, you might prefer to form a support group together. This would mean that you meet the new students as a group rather than one-on-one.·Being a buddy is voluntary. There is no “requirement” to provide assistance beyond the help outlined above.Please note that if you agree to become a peer support buddy, you will be expected to fulfil your role conscientiously and cheerfully. It will be important to be considerate and reliable so that the student can feel confident in your support.21．According to the passage, what benefit can you get from being a buddy?A．You can learn how to be a confident person.B．It is easy for you to find some friendly company.C．You can be rewarded with both money and prizes.D．It may be helpful for your future studies and career.22．As a buddy, you need to ________.A．form a support group with other volunteers at IBIB．provide assistance in studying each subject after classC．meet the new student every morning early in the semesterD．help the new student get familiar with his or her surroundings23．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To introduce campus life for new students.B．To attract potential volunteers to be peer supporters.C．To offer an opportunity to practise speaking English.D．To provide some information about studying overseas.When special occasions such as birthdays or other big holiday events come around, parents often look for that special toy for their children. But there is a growing understanding that gifts of time and bonding, such as vacations and other experiences, make better and more lasting gifts for children.Experts agree that gifting children with memorable trips and fun experiences is better for their body and mind, and has corresponding positive impacts on the rest of the family!In a 2017 study that surveyed about 500 women between 18 and 93 years old, Dr. Oravecz, a human development and family studies professor at Pennsylvania State University, asked, “Most people feel loved when...” The study showed that the most popular answers had nothing to do with any material item. Dr. Oravecz said, “Our research found that micro-moments of positivity, like a kind word, a hug with a child or a sympathetic expression, make people feel most loved.”Clinical psychologist Oliver James agrees. He stated that as opposed to toys, details from a trip are more likely to “stick with them for long after the vacation ends.” When families interact in a stress-free environment, this creates warm, generous feelings towards one another, which are likely to be remembered with fondness. Vacations create strong emotional responses that don’t often come with material possessions.In addition, British child psychologist Dr. Margot Sunderland believes that vacations make children smarter. “What is less widely known is that vacations can also advance brain development in children. This is because on a family vacation, you are exercising two genetically ingrained systems deep in the brain’s limbic (边缘的) area, which can all too easily be‘unexercised’ in the home.” Citing the work of neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, Dr. Sunderland said, “These are the PLAY system and the SEEKING system.” “The brain’s PLAY system is exercised every time you bury your child’s feet in the sand or take them for a ride on your back. The SEEKING system is exercised each time you go exploring together: the beach, a cave, a hiddenvillage...” She continued, “So when you take your child on a vacation, you are supporting their explorative urge (SEEKING system)—a vital resource for living life well, and their capacity to play (PLAY system). In adulthood, this translates into the ability to play with ideas—essential, for example, to the successful entrepreneur(企业家).”In a busy household, perhaps the fun of having the latest toy may not last, but the space it occupies in the house could be there and gather dust. So for the next round of gift-giving with the children, consider an experiential gift instead. The return is definitely priceless.24．From Dr. Oravecz’s study, we know that ________.A．hearing kind words can make a person feel most lovedB．a special toy for a birthday is more lasting for childrenC．women at the age of 18 and 93 years old feel more lovedD．the feeling of being loved is closely related to material gifts25．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The capacity to play can translate into the ability to seek.B．The SEEKING system can develop when adventuring in the wild.C．PLAY and SEEKING systems are more easily exercised at home.D．Burying your child’s feet in the mud is exercising the SEEKING system.26．According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.A．material gifts are better for a child’s body and mindB．children spending vacations with their parents are more generousC．trips with family can form better emotional interactions than material giftsD．vacations with employees are a waste of time for a successful entrepreneurDear Teachers and Parents,This June, during Financial Literacy Month, we have some to share.In 2015, a free online financial education course named FutureSmart was introduced to middle school students, specifically targeting this group at a time in their lives when financial habits take hold and grow.Fast forward to today, FutureSmart, available in English and Spanish, has reached over 13,000 schools across all 50 states. More than two million students have completed the course,with almost half coming from low-to-moderate income families.But we aren’t stopping there. We promise to reach four million more students by the end of 2025.Why? Because this moment calls for brave action. Never before have money management and investment decisions been so easy to conduct at any time or place through the use of a smartphone. It is time to offer students more critical financial literacy education to encourage them to make good financial decisions on a daily basis as they make their way through a complex world.From weighing opportunity costs to delaying instant satisfaction for long-term financial gain, FutureSmart educates our youth using hands-on simulations (模拟) to introduce concepts like daily financial decisions and the rewards of long-term planning. Teaching young learners how to build solid financial foundations is an important step in building financially healthy communities.Although our work is far from complete, we know that FutureSmart works. And it works exceptionally well.In the largest study of its kind, supported by the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI, the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) recently concluded that 90% of students saw a statistically significant and educationally meaningful increase in knowledge after taking the FutureSmart course.What’s more, these results were consistent across all student demographics including race, age, gender, school year, and socioeconomic status.We have a long way to go to reach every single middle school student, but we welcome the challenge. Together, our teams have started a movement to provide equal access to financial education, and we invite others to join us.Visit getfuturesmart. com to learn more and see how you can bring FutureSmart to the young people in your life.MICHAEL FANNING RAY MARTINEZHead of MassMutual US President and Co-Founder of EVERFI27．The course FutureSmart .A．is offered in two different languagesB．requires skillful smartphone operationC．has been bought by a large number of schoolsD．targets students from low-to-moderate income families28．How does FutureSmart introduce financial concepts?A．By establishing financially healthy communities.B．By managing opportunities and rewards.C．By simulating real-life situations.D．By delaying financial gain.29．After taking the course, the students should be able to .A．improve their academic performanceB．accept financial challenges at any timeC．understand people from various backgroundsD．build a stable financial foundation for the futureWe’ve heard for years that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But, it actually might be even more important than previously thought, according to a study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which examined the effects of skipping meals and meal frequency as related to mortality (死亡率) and heart health.The study, which was published in August of last year, sought to find out if eating behaviors like meal frequency, meal skipping, and time between meals were associated with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality.The study consisted of 24,011 adults 40 years or older who participated from 1999 to 2014. Researchers looked at various eating behaviors of participants who self-reported their eating habits every 24 hours. Causes of death were tracked via death records through December 31, 2015.After examining participants throughout the years, researchers found that certain eating behaviors were in fact linked to higher rates of premature death. Eating only one meal per day was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality while skipping breakfast was linked to an increased risk of CVD mortality, and skipping lunch or dinner was linked to an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Lastly, the study found that having meals too closely together (less than four and half hours apart) was also linked to all-cause premature death.So, what does this mean for the average person? “At the end of the day what matters is that。

北京英语高考阅读练习附答案北京英语高考阅读练习原文A Simple Lesson“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.“How could you tell? I didnt shut the door heavily or anything，”I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough，” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”“You dont know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They wont even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and thats the worst!”Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?”“Yes, your name is David and grandfathers name is Lorenzo.”“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important?”“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that，”I answered.“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get lowpaid labor jobs because he didnt speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard，” I said sheepishly.“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are，” said Papa.All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?”Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”北京英语高考阅读练习题目1.Why was the author unhappy that day?A.Because he moved to a new country.B.Because his baseball team lost the game.C.Because he wasnt offered a chance to pitch.D.Because he quarreled with his friends at school.答案：C细节理解题。

北京市中关村中学最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Do you know that junk food isn't healthy? Of course you do! Do you eat it anyway? Of course you do! But a new study shows teaching adolescents about the ways food companies fool them into thinking junk food is cool can encourage kids to fight back—by eating healthier.The pull of junk food can be super-strong. It's designed to tasty; which makes eating well one of the great health challenges of our time. Everyone from doctors to the government has been trying to handle it. Yet we keep eating junk food.Professor Christopher Bryan says, "Food companies want you to want junk food." They spend millions of dollars coming up with new ways to^ promote junk food consumption. They hire scientists to make new junk food almost irresistible. They might do this, for example, by adding more sugar. Rats fed junk food for six weeks will even walk across a floor that gives them electric shocks just to get more of such food.Food ads often make unhealthy junk food seem healthy by featuring professional athletes, fit-looking pop stars and smiling, active teens. "We thought when the students learned this, it would matter to them," Bryan says. He worked with 8th graders at a Texas school. Half of them got a lesson Bryan created. It focused on the ways junk food is advertised, or marketed. A second group received lessons that focused on health. These lessons informed students junk food is had, and that foods like apples or carrots are a better choice. The students learned a bad diet can lead to major weight gain, and that being overweight puts people at risk for serious diseases. They also learned how eating well now can keep you healthy when you're older.After the lessons, the kids in both groups were asked how they felt about junk food. Most didn't have positive feelings about these unhealthy foods.（1）Why does the author mention the questions in paragraph 1?A. To express his doubts about junk food.B. To promote the idea of healthy eating.C. To describe the situation of junk food.D. To introduce the topic for discussion.（2）What remains a great health challenge to doctors?A. Making people do more exercise.B. Making people eat healthily.C. Making people lose weight.D. Making people prefer junk food.（3）What message does paragraph 3 mainly try to convey?A. What makes junk food almost impossible to resist.B. What influences junk food can have on consumers.C. How food companies try to get people to reach for junk food.D. Why food companies promote the consumption of junk food.（4）Which of the following words can best describe Bryan's lessons?A. Shocking.B. Popular.C. Effective.D.

北京市最新高考英语阅读理解复习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air than forest trees.As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest，trees tend to grow close together，shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.（1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2?A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming.C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.（2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees?A. To know about their growth rates.B. To find out how much they weigh.C. To check whether they were healthy.D. To assess the carbon amounts in them.（3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees?A. They are more likely to access growth promoters.B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air.C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D. They are better at competing for light.（4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued?A. How urban trees can live longer.B. Why city living makes trees die young.C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions.D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more C02.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

请在答题纸指定区域作答。

In life, once on a path, we tend to follow it, for better or worse. What’s sad is that even if it’s the latter, we often follow a certain path anyway because we are used to the way things are that we don’t even recognize that they could be different. Psychologists call this phenomenon functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works — and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap:People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly. Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax (石蜡). The tacks are too short, and the candle doesn’t fasten to the wall. So how can you accomplish the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall, and stand the candle inside it.To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a container just for tacks and reimagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer — to one degree or another — from functional fixedness. The inabilityto think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arend coined the phrase frozen thoughts to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt’s eyes, the complacent reliance on such accepted “truths” also made people blind to ideas that didn’t fit their worldview, even when there was ample evidence for them. Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said, “It can be found in highly intelligent people.”Another context in which frozen thinking can turn truly dangerous is medicine. If you land in the hospital, it’s natural to want to be treated by the most experienced physicians on staff. But according to a 2014 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), you’d be better off being treated by the relative novices.1．What does “functional fixedness” mean?2．How is the candle attached to the wall?3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.Frozen thinking is common among ordinary people as well as those with high although frozen thinking has much to do with intelligence.4．How can you avoid frozen thoughts in your daily life?

There's a contradiction in the way many of us behave online: we know we're being watched all the time, and disapprove of the monitor by Google and the government. But the bounds of what's considered too personal to be uploaded or shared online seems to shrink by the day.I complain about the lack of privacy, for example, and yet I willingly and routinely trade it for convenience. I no longer run the risk of unforeseen delays on public transport; Google Maps will inform me of the fastest route to my destination; I no longer need to remember my friends' birthdays; Facebook will urge me, and invariably appeal to me to post an update to remind people I exist. All I have to do is make my location, habits and beliefs transparent to their parent companies whenever they choose to check in on me.So what's going on? “Visibility is a trap,” explained the French philosopher Michel Foucault in Discipline and Punish: the Birth of the Prison(1975). Allowing oneself to be watched, and learning to watch others, is both attractive and dangerous. He took for example “Panopticon”, a prison where prisoners were observed from a tower manned by an invisible occupant. The prisoners would believe in the presence of the mysterious watchman, whether or not anyone was actually inside, and behave themselves.According to Foucault, the dynamics of the Panopticon are similar to how generally people self-monitor in society. In the presence of ever-watching witness, people police themselves. They don't know what the observers are looking for, or what the punishments are for disobedience (不顺从). But they willingly accept and follow this invisible discipline.Foucault claimed that such monitoring is worrisome, not just because of what companies and states might do with our data, but because the act of watching is itself a terrible exercise of power, which may influence behavior without our fully realizing it.But something's not right here. Why does the self-display continue when we are sure that we are watched from everywhere and nowhere?Social media provides a public space that often operates more like a private one, where many people hold the belief that there they won't suffer the consequences of what they say online, as if protected by technology.Plato would be alarmed by the lack of shame online. His point about moral knowledge is this: we already know the right way to live a just and fulfilling life, but are constantly distracted(转移) from that noble aim. For him, then, shame helps us be true to ourselves and to pay attention to the moral knowledge within. A man without shame, Plato says, is a slave to desire — for material goods, power, fame, respect. Such desire, by its nature, cannot be satisfied.Phenomenon While people hate being monitored, the ________ of privacy is gradually becoming a more serious problem.My experience I complain about the lack of privacy but still exchange it for convenience.convenience* I ________ on Google maps for the fastest route to avoid delays on public transport.* Facebook will remind me of my friends' birthdays, andappeal to me to be updated.cost I must make my ________ information available to relevant companies.Michel Foucault's explanations Idea: Visibility is a trap.An analogy:* In the Panopticon, prisoners behave themselves just because they believed they were watched by an ________ watchman.* In real life, the way people self-monitor ________ the dynamics of the Panopticon. They willingly follow the invisible discipline.Worries: Our data may be ________ and monitoring may influence us to change our behavior ________.Reasons for contraction Though being watched, self-display continues because some netizens think that they don't need to take ________ for what they say online.Conclusion*Shame is essential in leading a just and fulfilling life.*Shame helps us stay true to ourselves and focus on our ________.*Shame can ________ us being a slave to desires for fame and fortune.【答案】 invasion /violation /leak /lack；depend /rely /count；private /personal；invisible；resembles；abused/ misused；unconsciously；responsibility；morality /moral(s)；prevent/stop【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，我们所有网上的行为都被监视，虽然网络给我们带来了便利，但隐私的泄露却给我带来了很大的影响。

北京市最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice.B.She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss.C.Her miserable childhood had a negative effect on her work.D.Her performance during internship was highly praised in public.（2）Due to John W. Rogers' advice, the author_______.A.learned to strike a balance between work and lifeB.contributed her ideas only after listening to others'C.no longer felt lost and became aware of her own valueD.switched to a different company to display her talent（3）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keep Your Attitude under Control.B.Encourage Your Employees to Grow.C.Let Your Success Be Your Noise.D.Live a Life with a High Goal.（4）Who would probably benefit most from this article?pany bosses.B.Those new to a job.C.Business consultants.D.Experienced teammates.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作为实习生，作者在实习期间受到公司的创始人、董事长John W. Rogers深深地影响，John W. Rogers鼓励作者要敢于思考、发表自己的想法，也鼓励作者要勇敢，因为John W. Rogers，作者也学习到"要有锋芒却不伤人"。

北京高考英语阅读试题及答案While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided.The US Department of Health and Human Servicesoffers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.◆Try physical activityWhen you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activitiesyou might try.◆Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough，or if you’re not eating properly，it will be more likely that you will fallinto stressful situations.If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor.◆Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment.Don't forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work.You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and havefun.Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.◆Make a list of things to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do，and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you maynot achieve anything.Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completed.Set out to do the most important task first.10.Which of the following statements shows that you have fallen into stressful situations?A.You can't sleep well all the time.B.You have a break after work.C.You always feel happy and relaxed.D.You only do one thing at a time.11.According to the passage，how do you make a list of things to do?A.Try to take care of everything at once.B.Do one thing at a time.C.Only do the most important thing.D.Have a break from your work.12.Why does the writer write this passage?A.To give opinion.B.To give suggestions.C.To make a request.D.To ask for advice.13.What is the best title for the passage?A.How to Deal with Stress?B.How to Make Time for Yourself?C.How to Take Care of Yourself?D.How to Make a List of Things to Do?14.

After hard practice, by the time school started that year I’d gotten the hang of it. I washappy in my new work. I became a combination chauffeur, nurse and friend. And if the kids needed it, I’d put on my “Tough Big Sister” act. It was alot like my previous job---being a mom.When I think about my years of bus driving, many things crowded in, but mostly, I remember Charlie.Charlie, eight years old, with blond hair and crystalline gray eyes, began riding my bus in September of my fourth year driving. They all had stories to tell me about their summers. Charlie,though, ignored me. He didn’t even answer when I asked his name.From that day on, Charlie was a trial. If a fight broke out I didn’t have to turn my head to know who had started it. If someone was throwing spitballsI could guess the culprit’s name. If agirl was crying, chances were Charlie had pulled her hair. No matter how I spoke to him, gently or firmly, he wouldn’t say a word. He’d just stare at me with those big gray eyes of his.I asked around some, and found out Charlie’s father was dead and he didn’t live with his mother. He deserves my patience, I thought. So I practiced every bit of patience I could muster. To mycheery “Good Morning”, he was silent. When I wished him a happy Halloween, he sneered. Many, many times I asked God how I could reach Charlie. “I’m at my wit’s end.” I’d say. Still I was surethat this child needed to feel some warmth from me. So, when he’d pass by, I’d ruffle his hair or pat him on the arm.Toward the end of that year, the kids on my bus gave me a small trophy inscribed “To the Best Bus Driver Ever”. I propped it up on the dashboard. On top I hung a small tin heart that a littlegirl had given me. In red paint she had written, “I love Polly and Polly loves me.”On the next-to-last day of school I was delayed a few minutes talking to the principal. When I got on the bus I realized that the tin heart was gone. “Does anyone know what happened to thelittle heart that was up here?” I asked. For once with 39 children, there was silence.One boy piped up, “Charlie was the first one on the bus. I bet he took it.” Other children joined the chorus, “Yeah! Charlie did it! Search him!”I asked Charlie, “Have you seen the heart?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he protested. Standing up, he took a few pennies and a small ball out of his pockets. “See, I don’t have it.”“I bet he does!” insisted the girl who had given me the heart. “Check his pockets.”Charlie glowered when I asked him to come forward. His gaze burned into mine. I stuck my hand into one pocket. Nothing. I reached into the other pocket. Then I felt it ---the familiar outlineof the small tin heart. Charlie stared at me for a long time. There were no tears in those big gray eyes, no plea for mercy. He seemed to be waitingfor what he’d come to expect from the world.I was about to pull the tin heart out of Charlie’s pocket when I stopped myself. Let him keep it, a voice seemed to whisper.“It must have fallen off before I got here,” I said to the kids. “I’ll probably find it back at the depo t.” Without a word, Charlie returned to his seat. When he got off at his stop, hedidn’t so much as glance at me.That summer Charlie moved away.Eventually I retired. And there my story as a school bus driver ends, except for one more incident. A dozen years after retirement I was in a department store in Kansas City, when someonesaid tentatively, “Polly?”I turned to see a balding man who was approaching middle age. “Yes?”His face didn’t look familiar until I noticed his big gray eyes. There was no doubt. It was Charlie.He told me he was living in Montana and doing well. Then, to my surprise, he hugged me. After he let go, he pulled something from his pocket and held it up for me to see. An old keychain….bent out o f shape, the lettering faded. You can probably guess what it was---the little tin heart that said, “I love Polly and Polly loves me.”“You were the only one who kept trying,” he explained. We hugged again, and went our separate ways. That night I thought over his words. You were the only one who kept trying. Before I fellasleep I thanked the Lord for the reassurance that I’d done a good job and for all the qualifications he’d given me to do it with.15. From whose point of view is the story told?A.
