AThe cars were honking (鸣叫) on the road one morning as I was walking to the park. I walked on and soon found the cause — a little taxi that had got stuck in the middle of the road. There was sweat on the driver's face as he tried to start the engine again and again — nothing happened. "No petrol,"I said to myself and then found myself getting angry. "Why doesn't the fool move his taxi to the side?" I thought, so did all the others who honked and shouted.He got up tiredly, and the passenger in the taxi got out. He was a young man in a white shirt,who watched the driver try to push it to the side. "Stupid guy!" I said. "Can't he lend a helping hand? "I watched as the poor driver pushed it to the side. Cars, buses and trucks went past cursing (咒骂) the poor man. The young man took another taxi and went off.The taxi driver began mending his taxi. "Stupid passenger!" I said to him. "He didn't help you!" The taxi driver slowly got up. "Sir!" he asked, "Did you?" I looked at him guiltily, then looked away, and walked away fast, asking myself, "Did I help the poor man push his taxi?"What had I been doing as the traffic jam took place? How had I helped deal with the problem? Did I help the poor man push his taxi? I’d done my bit, with my mouth. But never had I moved tosolve the problem. I was shocked with guilt as I heard him asking, "Sir! Did you?" 21. Why did a traffic jam happen on the road when the author was walking to the park? A. There was too much traffic in the street. B. Truck drivers attempted to go ahead of others. C. taxi driver couldn't start his engine. D. young man wasn't good at driving.22 The author's attitude toward the passenger is that of __________. A. anger B. respectC. sympathyD. guilt23. Why did the author feel guilty? A. Because he blamed the driver wrongly. B. Because he didn't help the driver, either. C. Because he tried to help but failed in the end. D. Because he didn't persuade the passenger to help.24. From the incident, the author learnt a lesson that we should _________.A. criticize those who don't helpB. hurt the self-respect of others no moreC. think more of those who are in needD. stop talking and start to helpBMy students often tell me that they don ’t have“enough time” to do all their schoolwork.My reply is often a brief“You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time ” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was workinghard. His answer to me was, “That ’s irrelevant (无关的). What ’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker ” dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time ”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work ” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone ’s office: “Don ’t work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.If you can’t get more ti me, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of thework. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work ” for students usually means“homework ”, the expression “work habits ” should be read as “study habits ”．Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.25. From the passage, we know that the author is probably ______ . A. a poetB. an educatorC. a novelistD. an engineer26. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____ . A. have enough time B. can meet the president C. get everything done well D. should accept the explanation27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author’s students make good use of their time to do all their h omework.B. The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.C. You can ’t improve the quality of the work if you can ’t get more time.D. You ’ll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you ’re a clever student.28. What ’s the passage mainly about?A. Students don’t have enough time. B. Don ’t work harder; work smarter.C. No one can get more time.D. Read better and write better.CTake a look at the following list of numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 9, 6. Read them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, you ’re almost certain to get it right every time. Why is that? Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a two-second period. And unlike English, the Chinese languageallows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.That example comes from Stanislas Dahaene ’sbook The Number Sense. As Dahaene explains: Chinese number words are remarkably brief. Most of them can be spoken out in less than one-quarterof a second (for instance, 4 is“si ” and 7“qi ”). Their English pronunciations are longer. The megap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length.It turns out that there is also a big difference in how number-naming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. Butwe don ’t. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade ” first and the unit number sec ond (twenty-one, twenty-two), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highlyirregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is ten-one. Twelve is ten-two. Twenty-four is two-tens-four and so on. That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children. Four-year-old Chinese children can count, on average, to 40. American children at that age can count only to 15. By the age of five, in other words, American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills.The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basicfunctions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an English-speaking seven-year-old to addthirty-seven plus twenty-two in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Onlythen can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child toadd three-tens-seven and two-tens-two, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: it’s five-tens-nine.When it comes to math, in other words, Asians have a built-in advantage. For years, studentsfrom China, South Korea, and Japan --- outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, andthe typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different ---that being good at math may also be rooted in a group’s culture.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The Asian number-naming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.B. Western culture fail to provide their children with adequate number knowledge.C. Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.D. Asian children’s advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.30. What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?A. Their understanding of numbers.B. Their mother tongue.C. Their math education.D. Their different IQ.31. Asian children can reach answers in basic math functions more quickly because ____________.A. they pronounce the numbers in a shorter periodB. they practice math from an early ageC. they don’t have to translate language into numbers firstD. American children can only count to 15 at the age of fourDWhat makes humans smarter than other animals? We’ve got abigger brain, of course. But whenit comes to brains, is bigger always better?Traditionally, scientists have thought that human’ s uperior intelligence derived(源于)mostlyfrom the fact that our brains are three times bigger than those of our nearest living relatives, chimpanzees. People even used to believe that because men have slightly larger brains than womenthat men are smarter.This, however, is not the truth. Scientists at University College London in the UK have found thatbrain organization, and not brain size, is the key to the superiority of human intelligence, reportedLive Science.Through millions of years of evolution, our ancestors were constantly pushed to get smarter sothat they could meet the demands of new environments. However, holding this growing intelligencein increasi ngly large brains was not the best choice because bigger brains require more energy to power. “This is when reor ganization may come into play, ”said Christophe Soligo, a member of the London research team.In the study, scientists looked at the brains of 17 species of primates(灵长目动物), including monkeys, apes and humans. They found that in the process of evolution, brains didn’t ke as a whole. Certain regions of the brain grew prior to others in response to species’ needs, and in thisway they could make the best use of their limited brain space.For example, when early humans were struggling to survive, the brain region in charge of usingtools and finding food grew in size more than other regions. But in modern times, the prefrontalcortex(前额皮质)—the region in charge of social cognition (认知), moral judgments andgoal-directed planning—grew more than the rest of the brain.Think of the brain as a room. If a big room is poorly organized, it doesn’t necessarily store more stuffthan a smaller one.Paul Manger, professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, explains thisprinciple using the example of whales. He told Scientific American: “Whales h ave big brains, absolutely. But if you look at the actual structure of the brain, it’s not very complex. Brain size only matters if the rest of the brain is organized properly. ”32.It has recently been found that humans are smarter than the other animals mainly because.A. they are a species of primatesB. they have much lar ger brainsC. their brain structure is more complexD. they were constantly pushed to get smarter33. According to the article, in recent human evolution, .A. the brain kept growing in size to adapt to new environmentsB. most regions of the brain didn’t changeC. the prefrontal cortex grew more than the rest of the brainD. humans’ brains became increasingly simple so that humans could survive34. What can we conclude from the article?A. Gender makes a difference in intelligence.B. The size of the brain has nothing to do with intelligence.C. Species whose brain is organized properly tend to be smarter.D. Larger brains are usually organized better than smaller ones.35. The method the writer uses to develop the last paragraph is.A. by presenting research dataB. by giving examplesC. by making a comparisonD. by analyzing cause and effect第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
