You may have heard of the famous workplace communication software, Slack. Many companies use Slack to virtually communicate across teams. What most people don’t know is that Slack, despite its 1 , was never meant to exist. In fact, the company who developed Slack actually had been hoping to create the next popular video game. But after raising millions of dollars to fund the game development, the company ultimately 2 the project because the game failed to attract enough users.The 3 goal of the company wasn’t achieved. However, during the process of creating theirEQ(4)game, something else happened. The team realized that the system they created to accompany the game was worth investing more time in. And they 5 to invent the communication system idea for one of the fastest-growing startups (初创公司) in history, and Slack was born.An outcome-focused company might have just moved on from the failed video game or, worse, continued investing resources, risking further negative outcomes. But 6 , this company didn’t do that. 7 , they had been paying attention to the process. Focusing on the process allowed this company to 8 and redefine their desired outcome.You’ve probably heard a quote or two in your life about the 9 of “the journey”—how often the journey is more significant and impactful than the 10 .

2024届山东省实验中学高三下学期高考模拟英语试题一、阅读理解According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), hundreds of marine (海洋的) species across the world come under endangered and critically endangered categories. Some of the endangered and recognizable marine species are named here.Kemp’s Ridley Sea TurtleThe Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle, also known as the Atlantic Ridley Sea Turtle, is endangered as the rarest and smallest sea turtle.Distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic seaboard, they gather off the coast in northeastern Mexico and come ashore in large groups to lay eggs every year. As marine reptiles (爬行动物), they are threatened by oil spills, lack of food and marine pollution.VaquitaAs a rare marine mammal, Vaquita is on the edge of extinction only a half-century after its first sighting.Extensive fishing in the Gulf of California has endangered this marine species, resulting in a gradual drop in population since the 1940s. According to reports, there are only a dozen of these marine mammals left in the world since the percentage of decline in their population was as much as 90% since 2011.WhaleFin Whale is the second-largest mammal on the planet after Blue Whale and it is also a victim of hunting. According to estimates, the global population of Fin Whale ranges from below 100,000 to around 119,000.Humpback Whale, another whale species, has also been listed as an endangered marine species. Before the introduction of the whaling moratorium (暂停) in 1966, the species was hunted for its fur, while the population dropped by 90%. Currently, around 2,500 Humpback Whales survive in the world.Hawaiian Monk SealA native of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Hawaiian Monk Seal is one of the earless seals who live on warm beaches, unlike other seals.According to recent research, only 1,400 Hawaiian Monk Seals remain on the Islands. These seals are mainly threatened by predators like tiger sharks. Besides, other reasons like habitat loss and food limitation also contribute to their critical situation.1．Why do Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles land on the beach in large groups?A．To nest.B．To reproduce.C．To avoid attack.D．To hunt foods.2．What is the major threat to Hawaiian Monk Seal?A．Global warming.B．Lack of food.C．Natural enemies.D．Habitat pollution.3．Which of the following is the most critically endangered species?A．Vaquita.B．Fin Whale.C．Humpback Whale.D．Hawaiian Monk Seal.Deforestation——by clear-cutting or wildfires——has massive consequences both on climate and health. But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades, particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity. And the time, cost and labour involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical as they once were.Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests. For four months in 2013, he worked as a tree planter throughout Canada. “There’s no technology there,” he says. “The only way you can automate reforestation is through the air.” But it wasn’t until 2019 that he hit on the one that he thought had potential: use drones (无人机) to fire specially designed seed pods (荚) into the ground—at 10 times the normal rate and costing 20-percent less than traditional methods. He proposed the idea to his brother and Flash Forest was born. His first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025.The team took out a loan, bought a drone and used 3D printers at Jones’s school to make casts of the pods. Now, only two and a half years later, the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight. Three operators work in a field, controlling five drones, whose flights take 15 to 20minutes. Flash Forest’s big draw is its seed pod, which contains everything seedlings (幼苗) need to promote survival. And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult for traditional tree planting.There are challenges every day, Jones says, as they work to improve the engineering, hardware, software and seed-po d recipes. Then there are the challenges presented by the climate——this year, record temperatures,record wildfires and drought. “That was something that was totally out of our control,” he says.Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation, Flash Forest is focused on biodiversity. For Jones, the target of planting a billion trees by 2025 is just the beginning. “I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents——everywhere where our technology is needed,” he says.4．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?A．The benefits of reforestation.B．The power of Mother Nature.C．The way of putting out wildfires.D．The urgency to seek a planting way.5．What are the features of Jones’ technology?A．Efficient and cost-saving.B．Innovative and back-breaking.C．Pricey and ground-breaking.D．Challenging and time-consuming.6．What contributes to the particular appeal of Flash Forest?A．Its drone operators.B．The frequent flights.C．Its seed pod.D．The low cost of seedlings.7．What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph?A．It changed its focus in the past.B．It will achieve its final target in 2025.C．It might be available worldwide one day.D．It has replaced traditional forms of reforestation.Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert.For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says.The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-definedsolution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. 8．What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Get the essence of.B．Find the opposite of.C．Keep the focus on.D．Reduce the impact on.9．What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3?A．Its standard is stable.B．It prevents unequal division.C．Its concept is complex.D．It dominates personal preferences.10．What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting?A．The application of its rules.B．The details of its process.C．The problems it produces.D．The harmony it symbolizes.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Who benefits most from fairness?B．How has fairness changed over time?C．What method works best in cake-cutting?D．Why are researchers so interested in cake-cutting?Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. In all cases of amblyopia, there’s a stronger eye and a weaker eye, and it’s winner-take-all in the cortex (大脑皮层). The cortex learns to ignore the signal from the weaker eye. By ignoring the weaker eye, the brain doesn’t fuse (融合) images from both eyes. As a result, people with amblyopia can have trouble seeing in 3D．In an attempt to solve this problem, doctors start treating patients with amblyopia at a young age, while their brain pathways are still developing. The children, usually under 7 years old, are often told to wear an eye patch over their strong eye to force the brain to rely on the weaker. But whenever the eye patch is removed, the competition can start over. For lasting improvement, new treatments need to teach the brain to stop suppressing (抑制) key visual cues coming from the weaker eye, says neuroscientist Dennis Levi of the University of California.Now, several research teams are taking a new way that aims to get the brain to make better use of the information coming from both eyes, Several companies are working on treatments based on this new angle. One is called Luminopia.Luminopia’s therapy involves having children watch videos through a virtual reality headset. As the childrenwatch, the headset blocks out certain parts of the display for each eye, so the patients actually have to combine input from the two images to get the full video.The company conducted a trial showing that children with amblyopia begin to see better on eye chart assessments after three months of one-hour sessions done six days a week, But they have yet to measure improvements in long-term effectiveness. It is believed that if people with amblyopia don’t learn to fuse signals from both eyes from a young age, they never will. So some scientists think attempting to treat adults, whose brains have suppressed signals from their weak eye for decades, is a lost cause.12．Why does a person with amblyopia have trouble seeing in 3D?A．His brain is unable to receive images.B．His cortex overlooks signals from the weaker eye.C．His stronger eye can’t send signals to the brain.D．His weaker eye fails to receive signals.13．Which of the following best describes the effect of an eye patch?A．Ineffective.B．Temporary.C．Wonderful.D．Comprehensive.14．What is the working principle of Luminopia’s therapy?A．Activating the weak eye to get the full video.B．Forcing the brain to rely on the weaker eye.C．Improving the situations with eye chart assessments.D．Blocking out the images received from the stronger eye.15．What can we learn about Luminopia’s therapy from the last paragraph?A．It has an instant effect.B．Adults are is main targets.C．More trials need to be conducted.D．It has long-term effectiveness.Ask anyone how they’re feeling these days and chances are that they’ll reply with some version of “exhausted”. We’re tired of operating amid uncertainty. We’re tired of balancing childcare with work. 16 They direct our focus to the most readily available information to help us make decisions quickly without properly considering all the variables.The result is that we are wired to move toward things that make us feel good and away from things that make us feel uncomfortable. 17 They default (默认) to what feels “normal”. Those networks are so deep in ourthinking that when we’re traveling a new and challenging path, our wheels default back to the worn-in grooves (凹槽). So, how do we do hard things when our brains are constantly telling us to avoid effort?18 A 2016 study found that when people are upset, they’re less likely to try to do hard things. When they’re feeling upbeat, however, they’re more likely to take on the hard-but-essential tasks that ultimately make life better. One way we can get ourselves in the right mindset is to do what’s called “reappraisal”, in which we create a shift in our brains of how we perceive a task.Moreover, we must give our brains the right amount of autonomy. When we have a choice, our brains often want to programme something easy. 19 Put it into a work context: Do I want to experiment with a new project management tool that might make things easier for my team next week, or do I want to stick with the same sheet that a former employee established that none of us feel great about anyway?20 But by understanding what’s going on in your brain, you can work toward accomplishing hard things and manage your fears better.A．Tackle them when we’re in a good mood.B．Doing things like hard work can seem abnormal.C．Our brains label effort as bad because it’s hard work.D．We should be creative and open-minded when doing tasks.E．This is called mindset fault, the tendency to do right things.F．When we feel like this, our brains want to save mental energy.G．But we can reduce the response by challenging ourselves to be innovative.二、完形填空I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well.

AI first learned about Robert Munsch when I was in primary school. Our librarian read us The Paper Bag Princess, which I loved. I loved the way Munsch told a story and how the illustrations by Michael Martchenko complemented it perfectly.Since then, I’ve read several other books by Munsch, including Love You Forever, The Fire Station and The Snowsuit, and I have enjoyed them all.The Paper Bag Princess is a classic story about a princess who saves a prince from a dragon, only to have the prince reject her because she is no longer pretty due to her ragged clothes. The story is still as popular today as it was when it was first published in 1980.Love You Forever is a heart-warming story that explores the relationship between a mother and her son, beginning with the birth of the son and following him through his life as he grows up, moves away and eventually becomes a father himself.The Fire Station is the perfect book for children who are fascinated by fire trucks and firefighters. It tells the story of a young boy who visits his local fire station and learns all about the equipment firefighters use to fight fires.The Snowsuit is a hilarious story about a little boy who stubbornly refuses to wear his new snowsuit, despite the cold weather. The story, which is based on Munsch's own experiences, is relatable and funny.I would recommend Robert Munsch’s books to anyone who loves stories with heart, humour and relatable characters. His books are great for children of all ages and are sure to become treasured favourites.1. What impressed the author most about Robert Munsch's stories?A. The way Munsch told a story.B.

A hilarious story about a little boy who refuses to wear his new snowsuit.BLandscape photography is an art that captures the beauty of the natural world. Successful landscape photographers know how to choose the right locations and use the right techniques to turn their vision into stunning images.Location is key in landscape photography. Photographers carefully research and scout out locations, looking for places with interesting geographical features, unique lighting conditions, and easy access. Popular landscape photography destinations include national parks, mountains, beaches, and city skylines.The time of day is also crucial in landscape photography. Many photographers prefer the “golden hour”, which is the hour after sunrise or the hour before sunset, when the light is soft and warm.

There are people who play chess for a living, and they travel all over the world participating in tournaments. These players are called professional chess players, and they have an international rating system that levels the playing field. It iscalled the Elo rating system.The Elo rating system was named after its creator, Hungarian physicist Arpad Elo, who calculated the formula in 1960. His system was based on the assumption that chess is like a physical game; a player’s performance is dependent on their level of skill and their physical condition. The rating system also takes into account the strength of the opponent and the result of the game.The Elo system assigns everyone who plays chess a rating based on their performance in tournaments. The system is set up so that players who have higher ratings are more likely to win against players with lower ratings. A player’s rating can go up or down depending on how well they play against their opponent.A professional chess player can have a rating of over 2700, while an average player has a rating of around 1500. The difference between ratings can affect how much prize money is awarded to the winning player. For instance, the winner of a tournament may get $50,000 while second place may only get $30,000.To become a professional chess player, you need to have talent, skill, and patience. It takes years of practice and training to compete at the highest levels. Most chess players start as children and study the game intensely. They join chess clubs and participate in tournaments. It is not uncommon for a player to spend six to eight hours a day studying chess.8. According to the passage, what is the Elo rating system?A. An international rating system for chess playersB. A system for calculating prize money in chess tournamentsC. A way to level the playing field for physical gamesD. A method of ranking players based on their physical condition9. What is the significance of the opponent’s strength in the Elo rating system?A. It affects the Elo rating of the opposing player onlyB. It determines the prize money awarded to the winnersC. It helps to objectively determine a player’s Elo ratingD. It is considered to be of little importance10. What does the article suggest about the training required to become aprofessional chess player?A. It requires a lot of time and hard workB. It is more important than talentC. It is not commonly taken seriously enoughD. It is typically begun in adulthood11. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To explain the history of chessB. To argue for the inclusion of chess in the OlympicsC. To highlight the physical demands of playing chessD. To provide information about professional chess players and the Elo rating systemDExercising with others may help a person’s mindset, researchers report, by providing a social experience and a source of support that makes the activity more enjoyable. In a review of studies published from 2005 to 2015, researchers from the University of Copenhagen analyzed evidence comparing groups who exercised alone with those who worked out together, either in person or virtually.The meta-analysis, which included data on nearly 2,000 participants, found that those who exercised in a group setting, either in person or remotely, reported greater “adherence” (持续性) to their workout routine than those who exercised alone. The findings also suggest that working out as a group appeared to reduce the participants’ perceived exertion, meaning they felt they were getting more of a workout while feeling less physical strain.The results, published Thursday in the journal Obesity, add to the body of evidence that suggests that being part of a group, whether in person or virtually, can lend important support to achieving and maintaining personal fitness goals.One of the main advantages of working out in a group is the opportunity to share one’s successes and feelings with others, according to the report’s senior author, Marit B. Rise, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen’s Center for Social Data Science. The coaches and the social environment provided by exercisingwith others can also motivate individuals to exercise more often, she said.But if someone is having difficulty sticking to an exercise regime, it may be difficult to find a group to join, Dr. Rise cautioned. In those cases, people who work out alone should consider ways to mimic the support mechanisms found in a group setting, such as joining an online support program on a social media platform dedicated to fitness.The researchers did not gather information on factors such as how frequently a group worked out together or how long they stayed in contact with one another outside of exercise sessions.12. What do researchers from the University of Copenhagen think of group exercise?A. It is an effective way to lose weight.B. It is more enjoyable than exercising alone.C. It is better for physical exercise than for mental health.D. It is more physically challenging than exercising alone.13. What did the researchers’ meta-analysis find out?A. Those who exercised in groups felt more physical strain.B. Those who exercised in groups exercised harder than those who exercised alone.C. Experiences of participants who exercised in groups were significantly different from those who exercised alone.D. People who exercised in groups were more likely to keep to their workout routine.14. What is one of the advantages of exercising in a group?A. It enables people to boast about their fitness achievements.B. It provides an opportunity to have a healthy competition with other people.C. It allows people to share their successes and feelings with others.D. It forces people to exercise even when they do not feel like it.15. What should people do if they cannot find a group to join?A. They should find an experienced coach to accompany them.B. They should persist in their current exercise regime.C. They should join an online support program dedicated to fitness.D. They should try to take part in daily activities with other people.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024届山西省高三下学期高考英语模拟试题一、阅读理解1、New York City has many remarkable parks and open ces that are perfect for hanging out in warm weather. Here are four of our favorite places to take a scenic walk, plus where to eat nearby.Louis Valentino, Jr. ParkDon’t let all of the factories fool you — Louis Valentino, Jr. Park has the best view of the Statue of Liberty. When you get hungry, stop by Red Hook Lobster Pound for mayo-coated lobster (龙虾). Sit at one of the cafe’s first come, first served outdoor tables, or eat on the waterfront.Riverside ParkStretching 4 miles from 72nd to 158th St, Riverside Park is perfect for hanging out along the Hudson River, enjoying beautiful views of New Jersey. If walking the whole way isn’t your thing, there’s a bike path too. Daily Provisions offers fantastic sandwich choices, like juicy chicken and smoked bacon.Central ParkThere are many reasons to walk through Central Park this spring: historic landmarks, great bird watching spots, and hanging out with friends. And while these are enjoyable activities, they’re even better with a pastrami sandwich from Pastrami Queen.Ridgewood ReservoirAt Ridgewood Reservoir, you’ll find an easy hiking spot with a peaceful nature preserve and skyline views of Manhattan. After hiking, head to Rolo’s for various sandwich options. It has outdoor tables but no heaters, so you can take everything to go if it’s too cold out.【小题1】What is the best spot for enjoying views of the Statue of Liberty?【小题2】What makes Riverside Park an attractive destination?【小题3】Where is this article most likely sourced from?2、Charlie Jeffers, 17, a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County, Calif., has loved Lego since age 4. His room is full of Lego bricks. Noticing his friends start throwing away their old Lego collections, he hatched a plan. “Legos are pricey,” he noted. “Many can’t afford them.”He started collecting unwanted Lego parts from friends and neighbors, spreading the word through community notices and door-to-door visits.The response was surprising. Donations of old Lego sets poured in, propelling Jeffers to formalize his efforts under the banner of Pass the Bricks. Together with a dedicated team of volunteers, Jeffers and his teammates carefully clean, sort, and repurpose collected Lego pieces into imaginative sets. These sets, each with roughly 20 to 60 pieces, are carefully made to create scenes such as blind dates or family photoshoots. Since its start in 2020, Pass the Bricks has made a significant success. With over 3,000 sets donated to date, Jeffers and his team are driven by two purposes: to reduce landfill waste and to provide Legos to children who might otherwise go without. Jeffers stresses the educational value of Lego, emphasizing its capacity to inspire creativity and learning.Pass the Bricks has since expanded its reach nationwide, with volunteers in several states distributing sets to local charities. To ensure each set is presented with care, Jeffers uses donations and personal funds from his job at a gym to purchase affordable cardboard gift boxes online. These sets, accompanied by instructions and a photo of the finished product, are distributed to various organizations and directly to children at local schools.Despite his approaching to college, Jeffers remains devoted to his commitment to Pass the Bricks. He plans to continue and expand the initiative, driven by a desire to share the joy and educational benefits of Lego with as many children as possible. “We’re grateful to share them with the kids and families we serve,” Jeffers expresses. Reflecting on his own Lego-filled childhood, he acknowledges its profound influence. “I aim to provide others with the same chance,” he emphasizes, echoing his ongoing commitment to sharing the joy of Lego with all.【小题1】What is the primary purpose of Pass the Bricks?【小题2】Which best replaces the word “propelling” in paragraph 2?【小题3】How does Jeffers ensure that each set is presented with care?【小题4】What does Jeffers hope to achieve by continuing Pass the Bricks?3、If you’re lucky enough to live near forests, you’ll know that it’s cooler under the trees during hot mid-days. Even if you live in a city with more buildings than trees, visiting a local park or garden can help you stay cool.A study from the University of Surrey in the UK found that botanical gardens can make city air cooler by up to 5 degrees Celsius. Wetlands and rain gardens aren’t far behind, cooling the air by about 4.7 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. Trees along streets also help, lowering air temperatures by 3.8 degrees Celsius, while city parks can make it 3.2 degrees Celsius cooler.The paper notes that an air temperature of 40.3℃ (104.5℉) broke records in the UK on July 19, 2022. Some 62, 862 deaths were linked to summer heat across Europe in the same year, while the 2003 heatwave in Europe led to an economic loss of €16 billion due to drought and crop failures. According to the IPCC, “green and blue urban infrastructure (基础设施) elements, including parks, engineered greening projects, wetlands, green walls, and botanical gardens, are particularly effective in reducing air temperatures in cities”.We’ve already seen a number of architecture projects around the world employ large amounts of greenery to promote local cooling, along with beneficial landscaping. However, it’s important to recognize that there isn’t one simple solution to suit every site, and much will depend on effective planning.“Our paper confirms just how many ways there are to keep cool,” added Professor Maria de Fatima Andrade at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. "But it also reveals how much work is left to do. Institutions around the world need to invest in the right research-because what’s very clear from our study is that there is no universal solution. It depends on what works for your community.”【小题1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?【小题2】Why does the author mention “Europe” in paragraph 3?【小题3】What does Professor Andrade emphasize about cooling solutions?【小题4】What might be a suitable title for the passage?4、 A team of scientists from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) made an exciting discovery about how computers and human brains work similarly when remembering things. They found out that the way artificial intelligence (AI) models, like those in smart robots, store memories is a lot like how our brain’s memory center, called the hippocampus (海马体), does it. This part of the brain is really important for feelings and memories.Understanding how AI learns and keeps information is key to making it smarter. The scientists looked into how our brains learn and remember by focusing on a special process involving the NMDA receptor, a critical part of the hippocampus. This receptor works like a smart door in our brain that helps with learning and remembering. It opens when certain brain chemicals are present, allowing the cell to receive signals and create memories. A specific element, magnesium, acts like a guard, only letting substances in under the right conditions.Interestingly, the team found that Transformer, a type of AI model, uses a similar “guarding”method to manage its memory. They wondered if they could make the Transformer’s memory better by copying the brain’s process. By adjusting some settings in the Transformer to mimic (模拟、模仿) the brain’s memory door, they improved its ability to remember things long-term, just like adjusting magnesium levels can affect how well we remember stuff.This discovery is a big deal because it shows we can use what we know about the brain to make AI smarter. C. Justin LEE, a neuroscience (神经学) director at the institute, mentioned that this research was a big step forward for both AI and brain science. It opens up new ways to understand how the brain works and to create more advanced AI based on these insights.So, in simple terms, scientists have figured out that computers can learn and remember in ways that are surprisingly similar to us, which could help make them even smarter in the future.【小题1】What does the term “NMDA receptor” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to?【小题2】What did the team discover about Transformer?【小题3】What is the significance of the research findings according to C. Justin LEE?【小题4】What is the main idea of the passage?5、How to Develop Critical Thinking SkillsThere’s no magic method to change your thinking processes. Improvement happens with small, intentional changes in your everyday habits until a more critical approach to thinking is automatic. Here are some tips for building stronger self-awareness and learning how to improve critical thinking:Be careful【小题1】. One of the key principles of critical thinking is asking questions and analyzing the available information. You might surprise yourself at what you find when you stop to think before taking action. Before making a decision, use evidence, logic, and reasoning to support your own opinions or challenge ideas. 【小题2】.Ask open-ended questions“Yes” or “no” questions invite agreement rather than reflection. 【小题3】. Digging deeper can help you identify potential biases, uncover assumptions, and arrive at new possible solutions.Learn to be quietActive listening is the intentional practice of concentrating on a conversation partner instead of your own thoughts. 【小题4】. If you’re brainstorming with your team or having a 1:1 with a coworker, listen, ask clarifying questions, and work to understand other people’s viewpoints. This will help you find weaknesses in arguments for better solutions.Put it downRecording your thoughts with pen and paper can lead to stronger brain activity than typing them out on a keyboard. If you’re stuck and want to think more critically about a problem, writing your ideas can help you process information more deeply. 【小题5】. Ideas are more likely to remain in the background of your mind, leading to deeper thinking that informs your decision-making process.二、完形填空6、One sunny afternoon, Lily found a lost kitten hiding behind a bush.
