Loo closely at the display, and you can see mars left by museumgoers pressing their foreheads against the glass.The object that fascinates them is a small wooden bo containing 46 microscope slides, each displaying a slice of Albert Einstein’s brain. A magnifying glass positioned over one of the s lides reveals a piece of tissue about the sie of a stamp. Einstein’s brain represents potential, the ability of one eceptional mind, one genius, to catapult ahead of everyone else.3Throughout history rare individuals have stood out for their meteoric contributions to a field. Lady Murasai for her literary creation. Michelangelo for his masterful touch. Marie Curie for her scientific acuity. “The genius,” wrote German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, “lights on his age lie a comet into the paths of the plan ets.” Consider Einstein’s impact on physics. With no tools available other than the force of his own thoughts, he predicted in his general theory of relativity that massive accelerating objects—lie blac holes orbiting each other—would create ripples (波纹) in the fabric of space-time. It too one hundred years, enormous computational power, and massively sophisticated technology to definitively prove him right, with the physical detection of such gravitational waves less than two years ago.Einstein revolutionied our understanding of the very laws of the universe. But our understanding of how a mind lie his wors remains stubbornly stagnant. What set his brainpower, his thought processes, apart from those of his merely brilliant peers? What maes a genius?Philosophers have long been puling over the origins of genius. Early Gree thiners believed an overabundance of blac bile—one of proposed by Hippocrates—endowed poets, philosophers, and other famous souls with “etraordinary powers,” says historian Darrin McMahon, author of Divine Fury A History of Genius. Phrenologists (骨相学家) attempted to find genius in bumps on the head; they collected sulls—including philosopher Immanuel ant’s—which they eamined, measured, and weighed.None of them discovered a single source of genius, and such a thing is unliely to be found. Genius is too abstract, too subjective, too wedded to the verdict of history to be easily identified. And it requires the ultimate epression of too many features to be simplified into the highest point on one human scale. Instead we can try to understand it by cracing the comple and mied qualities—intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple good fortune, to name a few—that combine to create a person capable of changing the world.31. Why does th e author tal about the “mars” in paragraph ONE?A. He is unsatisfied with the untidy environment of the museum.B. He is angry about the disrespect to the ehibitC. He is about to eplain the ehibit’s popularity.D. He is amaed at the huge population visiting the museum.432. The underlined phrase “catapult ahead of” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A. ecel atB. tower overC. differentiate betweenD. shine in33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. It too Einstein years to prove the eistence of gravitational waves.B. Arthur Schopenhauer was widely acnowledged as a genius in history.C. Einstein made incredible prediction despite lac of sources.D. Geniuses have limited influences just as comets do.34. What is the author most liely to tal about after this passage?A. Eamples of geniuses who possess such qualities.B. Importance of such qualities in becoming a genius.C. Ways to combine qualities with good fortune.D. Means to mae a genius.BYou may be reading this while on a conference call, pushing your child on a swing—or both. But is multitasing really a good idea, or does it mae us do everything more slowly and less well than if we were concentrating on one tas at a time?Psychologists cite convincing research that paying more attention to a tas improves performance. Humans, they argue, are good at doing rapidly sequential tass, rather than simultaneous ones. My teenagers insist it is fine to revise while teting and watching YouTube—but they are wrong. In 2009, a research team from Stanford, led by Clifford Nass, compared heavy versus light media multitasers in a series of tests. Nass thought the heavier multitasers would be better at organiing and storing information and have superior memories, but it turned out that the opposite was true. When the groups were shown layout of colored shapes and ased to remember their positions and ignore others, the multitasers couldn’t do it. They were constantly distracted and their ability to switch between tass, disregard irrelevant information and remember what they had seen was worse than the lighter multitasers.A team led by David Strayer at the University of Utah looed at people who drive while 5using the phone and found that they were more than twice as liely to miss stop signs. In a later study, Strayer found that people who are most liely to multitas are those who thin they are great at it. Seventy per cent of the 310 students in his study thought they were above average at multitasing. People who multitased the most had high levels of impulsive behaviour and were generally the most ill-suited to attempt more than one job at a time.Using a mobile, even hands-free, while driving delays the amount of time needed to brae in an emergency and halves the information that drivers are aware of. But Strayer found that people consistently overestimated how good they were at driving while on the phone.Nass’s research led him to suggest that we should spend 20 minutes on one tas and then switch to another, rather than flitting any faster between the two. Tests that measure the ability to remember shapes are less compelling than real-life multitasing research, but the evidence suggests that we cheat ourselves if we thin we can do more than one thing well at the same time. Limited research suggests that women may be a tiny bit better at it, but few of us are naturals. Strayer’s research suggests that around 3% of the population are “supertasers” who do better the more they do. The rest of us, however, should stic to one thing at a time.35. Which of the following behavior may the author show approval to?A. Revising while teting and watching Youtube.B. Reading while pushing your id on a swing.C. Switching between TV and homewor.D. Handling sequential items on the agenda.36. What could be concluded from Nass eperiment?A. Heavy multitasers were inadequate for such an eperiment.B. The result of the eperiment contradicted their previous assumption.C. Irrelevant information made the multitasers fail to remember the positions of colored shapes.D. Multitasing was totally impossible in daily life.37. According to Stayer, people who multitased most generally ________.A. tended to be aggressiveB. yielded more outcomesC. had a false image of themselvesD. overweighed those light multitasers638. What does the underlined “it” refer to in the last paragraph?A. Remembering shapesB. Cheating themselvesC. MultitasingD. Doing rapidly sequential tass四、任务型阅读We all need to feel understood, recognied and affirmed (证实) by our friends, family and romantic partners. We all need to find our tribe.Research has shown that among the benefits that come with being in a relationship or group, feeling accepted is regarded as the most important driver of meaning. When other people thin you matter and treat you as if you matter, you believe you matter, too.Though we all share a need to belong, in the first decades of the 20th century, many influential psychologists and physicians did not acnowledge this fundamental aspect of human nature. The idea that children needed parental love and care to live a full and meaningful life was not only considered medically dangerous, it was dismissed as immoral and disgusting.As behavioral psychology came into fashion and academic psychologists turned their attention to child-raising, this view shifted and they began to eamine and affirm the vital importance of attachment in early life. They discovered that people, whatever their age, needed more than food and shelter to live full and healthy lives.But, sadly, many of us lac close ties. At a time when we are more connected digitally than ever before, rates of social isolation (孤立) are rising. The results of an Age U poll published recently suggest that half a million people over the age of 60 usually spend each day alone, and it’s not unusual for another half a million people to go five or si days without seeing or speaing to someone.All these figures reveal more than a rise in loneliness—they reveal a lac of meaning in people’s lives. In surveys, we list our close relationships as our most important sources of meaning. Research shows that people who are lonely and isolated feel their lives are less meaningful.While close relationships are critical for living a meaningful life, they are not the only important social bonds we need to cultivate (培养). Psychologists have also discovered the value of small moments of intimacy (亲昵行为). “High-quality connections,” as one researcher calls them, are positive, short-term interactions between two people when a couple holds hands 7on a wal or when two strangers have an empathetic (移情作用的) conversation on a plane. High-quality connections have the potential to unloc meaning in our interactions with acquaintances, colleagues and strangers.We can’t control whether someone will mae a high-quality connection with us, but we can all choose to start one. We can say hello to a stranger on the street rather than loo away. We can五、书面表达请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Humans, they argue, are good at doing rapidly sequential tass, rather than simultaneous ones. My teenagers insist it is fine to revise while teting and watching YouTube—but they are wrong. In 2009, a research team from Stanford, led by Clifford Nass, compared heavy versus light media multitasers in a series of tests. Nass thought the heavier multitasers would be better at organiing and storing information and have superior memories, but it turned out that the opposite was true. When the groups were shown layout of colored shapes and ased to remember their positions and ignore others, the multitasers couldn’t do it. They were constantly distracted and their ability to switch between tass, disregard irrelevant information and remember what they had seen was worse than the lighter multitasers.A team led by David Strayer at the University of Utah looed at people who drive while using the phone and found that they were more than twice as liely to miss stop signs. In a later study, Strayer found that people who are most liely to multitas are those who thin they are great at it. Seventy per cent of the 310 students in his study thought they were above average at multitasing. People who multitased the most had high levels of impulsive behaviour and were generally the most ill-suited to attempt more than one job at a time.Using a mobile, even hands-free, while driving delays the amount of time needed to brae in an emergency and halves the information that drivers are aware of. But Strayer found that people consistently overestimated how good they were at driving while on the phone.Nass’s research led him to suggest that we should spend 20 minutes on one tas and then switch to another, rather than flitting any faster between the two. Tests that measure the ability to remember shapes are less compelling than real-life multitasing research, but the evidence suggests that we cheat ourselves if we thin we can do more than one thing well at the same time. Limited research suggests that women may be a tiny bit better at it, but few of us are naturals. Strayer’s research suggests that around 3% of the population are “supertasers” who do better the more they do. The rest of us, however, should stic to one thing at a time.35. Which of the following behavior may the author show approval to?A. Revising while teting and watching Youtube.B. Reading while pushing your id on a swing.C. Switching between TV and homewor.D. Handling sequential items on the agenda.36. What could be concluded from Nass eperiment?A. Heavy multitasers were inadequate for such an eperiment.B. The result of the eperiment contradicted their previous assumption.C. Irrelevant information made the multitasers fail to remember the positions of colored shapes.D. Multitasing was totally impossible in daily life.37. According to Stayer, people who multitased most generally ________.A. tended to be aggressiveB. yielded more outcomesC. had a false image of themselvesD. overweighed those light multitasers38. What does the underlined “it” refer to in the last paragraph?A. Remembering shapesB. Cheating themselvesC. MultitasingD. Doing rapidly sequential tass四、任务型阅读We all need to feel understood, recognied and affirmed (证实) by our friends, family and romantic partners. We all need to find our tribe.Research has shown that among the benefits that come with being in a relationship or group, feeling accepted is regarded as the most important driver of meaning. When other people thin you matter and treat you as if you matter, you believe you matter, too.Though we all share a need to belong, in the first decades of the 20th century, many influential psychologists and physicians did not acnowledge this fundamental aspect of human nature. The idea that children needed parental love and care to live a full and meaningful life was not only considered medically dangerous, it was dismissed as immoral and disgusting.As behavioral psychology came into fashion and academic psychologists turned their attention to child-raising, this view shifted and they began to eamine and affirm the vital importance of attachment in early life. They discovered that people, whatever their age, needed more than food and shelter to live full and healthy lives.But, sadly, many of us lac close ties. At a time when we are more connected digitally than ever before, rates of social isolation (孤立) are rising. The results of an Age U poll published recently suggest that half a million people over the age of 60 usually spend each day alone, and it’s not unusual for another half a million people to go five or si days without seeing or speaing to someone.All these figures reveal more than a rise in loneliness—they reveal a lac of meaning in people’s lives. In surveys, we list our close relationships as our most important sources of meaning. Research shows that people who are lonely and isolated feel their lives are less meaningful.While close relationships are critical for living a meaningful life, they are not the only important social bonds we need to cultivate (培养). Psychologists have also discovered the value of small moments of intimacy (亲昵行为). “High-quality connections,” as one researcher callsthem, are positive, short-term interactions between two people when a couple holds hands on a wal or when two strangers have an empathetic (移情作用的) conversation on a plane. High-quality connections have the potential to unloc meaning in our interactions with acquaintances, colleagues and strangers.We can’t control whether someone will mae a high-quality connection with us, but we can all choose to start one. We can say hello to a stranger on the street rather than loo away. We can五、书面表达请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
