　　The story of 11-year-old piano prodigy （天才） Jude Kofie warmed hearts on Twitter after a complete stranger gifted the boy with a $15，000 grand piano.
　　“He’s beyond special. He’s Mozart level. It’s coming from somewhere beyond，” piano tuner （调音师） Bill Magnusson said of young Kofie’s musical talent. Magnusson， using an inheritance he received from his father， gifted a $15，000 grand piano to Kofie after he saw the piano prodigy on local news.
　　Kofie cheered in excitement as the grand piano was wheeled into his Colorado home for the first time in a video that was shared on CBS News show “Sunday Morning”.
　　CBS “Sunday Morning” later summed up Kofie’s story in a tweet that went viral with over 10，000 likes.“Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie， of Aurora， Colorado， demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and， without any lessons， began playing.”
　　Twitter users reacted to the emotional story， with one reporter calling Jude Kofie and his family “amazing people”. Magnusson was moved to help Kofie after he saw the boy playing the piano in a local news story. However， Magnusson was concerned that Kofie was not able to afford the piano lessons from professional teachers that he needed to grow as a piano player. “What resources are left over to help this special little soul？” Magnusson asked.
　　Magnusson also promised Kofie’s family that he would tune the piano once a month for the rest of his life. “We’re family now，” he said.
　　Jude Kofie’s father， Isaiah Kofie， was shocked at Magnusson’s generosity. “All for free，” he said. “Who does that？” Jude’s father asked， becoming visibly emotional. Isaiah Kofie told the news station that there’s no way he could afford a grand piano and never would’ve imagined he’d have one in his living room.
　　When asked how to explain his once-in-a-generation talent on the piano， Jude Kofie said that it was “a miracle”. “That’s what I prefer，” he added.
4.What led to Bill Magnusson’s act of kindness？（　　）
A.Jude Kofie’s brilliant talent.
B.Jude Kofie’s family background.

　　The letter from the principal couldn’t have been clearer：The bus will pick up your new kindergartner at the designated bus stop. Parents are not to ride with children on the bus， and under no circumstances are parents to come to the school， whether to drop off their children or to take pictures. Parking is tight， even for teachers， staff， and buses， and additional cars are strictly forbidden at the beginning or end of the school day.
　　That was all understandable but they didn’t know my five-year-old twins. Shy and sensitive， they hid whenever the doorbell rang. My fear on that first day of school was that my girls would hide under a bus seat， or somehow get lost or stolen. The first day of school wouldn’t be easy for them （me）.
　　The day finally came. The bus was late， and I watched Morgan and Chloe get on， turn and wave on the top step. Okay， then I ran like hell. But I ran before the bus， not after the bus. Can’t a woman go for a run？
　　The bus finally overtook me a few hundred yards before the school building. Panting， I made my way to the front entrance， hidden safely behind a large SUV. I had a bird’s-eye view of every child that climbed down the bus steps and walked into the school doors. I willed my breath to quiet down and I concentrated hard on just being still because getting caught would be beyond embarrassing. Sweat dripped down my forehead and mixed with the sunblock （防晒霜） I had thoughtfully applied hours before， stinging my eyes and making me shed tears.
　　A few minutes went by. Two more buses emptied and left， and then there they were！ Chloe smiled shyly as the principal gave her a big smile and “Welcome！” Morgan stayed tightly behind， chin down， but she was smiling and holding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the sunblock that made me shed tears. I was lying about that part.
8.What’s the purpose of the letter from the principal？（　　）
A.To make some requests.
B.To offer some instructions.
C.To inform parents of some matters.
D.To remind parents of coming events.
9.Why did the author run to the school？（　　）
A.To visit the school.
B.To watch her twins.
C.To call on the principal.
D.To accompany her twins.
10.How did the author feel when she was behind a SUV？（　　）
A.Happy and excited.
B.Nervous and worried.
C.Curious and surprised.
D.Sad and disappointed.
11.What was the author lying about？（　　）
A.The reason why she shed tears.
B.The fact that she used sunblock.
C.The reason why she ran to school.
D.The fact that she hid behind a SUV.

　　The endowment effect. The overinterpretation of small numbers. The anchoring effect. The availability heuristic. Loss aversion ... As you read through this list， you may recognise most or all of them as fundamental aspects of how humans perceive （认为） and process their experiences. They are also connected in another way： each was co-discovered by one man， Daniel Kahneman， the author of the recently published Thinking， Fast and Slow.
　　Kahneman has been a prominent leader in the field of cognitive science for about four decades now， an illustrious career that has included a Nobel Prize for his work on economic decision-making.
　　The book， written for a general audience， records this career and the scientific advances it has generated. That said， Kahneman certainly does not intend the book to be primarily a memoir （回忆录）， nor should it be classified as such. Rather， the goal of the book， as the title implies， is to communicate dual-processing theory， the idea that our brain engages in two different forms of thought. He uses his extensive experience — personal histories， study-by-study accounts， and likely a handful of techniques he has developed through the years — to convey this message， the sum product being an enjoyable and edifying read for anyone， scientist or not.
　　At the beginning， Kahneman introduces us to the book’s two main characters： Systems 1 and 2， our two modes of cognition （认知）. They also make for the title of the book. System 1 is “fast”， comprising the various prejudices that immediately perceive events； System 2 is “slow”， allowing us to observe and direct our attention， and gather evidence for or against one idea or another.
　　Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think， Kahneman offers useful and inspirational insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental problems that often get us into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years， Thinking， Fast and Slow is an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of readers.
12.Why does the author provide a list of terms at the beginning of the text？（　　）
A.To introduce a new book.
B.To introduce Daniel Kahneman.
C.To explain some interesting theories.
D.To analyze some interesting phenomena.
13.What does Thinking， Fast and Slow focus on？（　　）
A.An insight into human’s mindset.
B.An exploration into human’s behaviour.
C.Daniel Kahneman’s personal experience.
D.Daniel Kahneman’s scientific experiments.
14.What do we learn about System 1 and System 2？（　　）
A.The former is more objective.
B.The former is more accurate.
C.The latter is more logical.
D.The latter is more efficient.
15.What does the author think of Thinking， Fast and Slow？（　　）
A.Practical and influential.
B.Humorous and interesting.
C.Serious and hard to follow.
D.Clear and easy to understand.

语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章是一家钢琴比赛的主办方负责人写给参赛选手的一封邮件。
1.A　细节理解题。本文是一封邮件，根据邮件开头的称呼Dear participant可知，这封邮件是写给参赛选手的。
2.C　细节理解题。根据邮件内容可知，对每位住在Azuline酒店的客人每天需要收取2.2欧元的生态税，16岁以下的小孩免收。因此他们需要交26.40欧元。
3.B　写作意图题。综合全文可知，本文是一家钢琴比赛的主办方负责人写给参赛选手的一封邮件，主要目的是通知选手酒店将收取生态税一事。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Jude Kofie是美国一名11岁的钢琴爱好者，钢琴调音师Bill Magnusson被其钢琴天赋所吸引，赠送给他一架价值15，000美元的三角钢琴。
4.A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Bill Magnusson评价Jude Kofie弹钢琴是莫扎特级别的。正是被其钢琴天赋所征服，他才给对方买了一架新钢琴。
5.A　细节理解题。根据第五段可知，Bill Magnusson仍然担心的问题是：Jude Kofie可能负担不起昂贵的钢琴课费用，以至于缺乏正式的训练。
6.D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，Jude Kofie家境贫穷，他的父亲对于突如其来的三角钢琴感到非常震惊；根据常识推断，他肯定对Bill Magnusson是非常感激的。
7.C　标题归纳题。综合全文可知，本文主要讲述了钢琴调音师Bill Magnusson为11岁的男孩Jude Kofie赠送三角钢琴的故事。因此C项最适合作文章标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一对双胞胎的母亲。当自己的两个孩子第一天上学时，她跟着校车一路跑到学校门口，只是为了偷偷看看孩子。
8.C　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，校长的来信主要是通知家长一些注意事项，重点是不让家长陪同孩子去学校。
9.B　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，作者跟着校车一路跑到学校门口，只是为了偷偷看看孩子。
10.B　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，由于作者违反学校的规定跑到了校门口，因此她藏在一辆SUV的后面，生怕被别人发现造成尴尬场面。由此判断，她当时内心紧张、忐忑不安。
11.A　推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，作者前面说汗水和防晒霜混合在一起，刺痛了她的眼睛，让她流泪；文章最后一句指出，这一点她其实在撒谎。其隐含意思是：她流泪的真正原因是看到自己的孩子后有点难过和伤感。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，也是一篇书评。文章简要介绍并评价了丹尼尔·卡尼曼的《思考，快与慢》这本全球畅销书。
12.B　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，作者先列举了一系列术语，然后引出了这些术语（概念）的创造者丹尼尔·卡尼曼。
13.A　细节理解题。根据第三、四段可知，《思考，快与慢》一书不是作者丹尼尔·卡尼曼的个人回忆录，它主要聚焦于我们大脑对外部世界作出反应的双重处理理论，也就是大脑的两种认知模式。
14.C　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，我们的大脑中包含两种处理系统和认知模式。系统1是“快速的”，包含了立即感知事件的各种偏见；系统2是“缓慢的”，允许我们观察和引导我们的注意力，并收集支持或反对某一想法的证据。显然，系统2更加理性和合乎逻辑。
15.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，本文作者认为《思考，快与慢》一书为我们在工作和个人生活中如何作出选择和决策提供了有用且具有启发性的见解，同时，这本书已经改变了数百万人的生活。

　　The story of 11-year-old piano prodigy （天才） Jude Kofie warmed
hearts on Twitter after a complete stranger gifted the boy with a $15，000
grand piano.
　　“He’s beyond special. He’s Mozart level. It’s coming from
somewhere beyond，” piano tuner （调音师） Bill Magnusson said of
young Kofie’s musical talent. Magnusson， using an inheritance he
received from his father， gifted a $15，000 grand piano to Kofie after he
saw the piano prodigy on local news.
　　Kofie cheered in excitement as the grand piano was wheeled into his
Colorado home for the first time in a video that was shared on CBS News
show “Sunday Morning”.
　　CBS “Sunday Morning” later summed up Kofie’s story in a tweet
that went viral with over 10，000 likes.“Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie，
of Aurora， Colorado， demonstrated a remarkable talent no one
anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and， without any
lessons， began playing.”
　　Twitter users reacted to the emotional story， with one reporter
calling Jude Kofie and his family “amazing people”. Magnusson was
moved to help Kofie after he saw the boy playing the piano in a local news
story. However， Magnusson was concerned that Kofie was not able to
afford the piano lessons from professional teachers that he needed to grow
as a piano player. “What resources are left over to help this special little
soul？” Magnusson asked.
　　Magnusson also promised Kofie’s family that he would tune the
piano once a month for the rest of his life. “We’re family now，” he
said.
　　Jude Kofie’s father， Isaiah Kofie， was shocked at Magnusson’s
generosity. “All for free，” he said. “Who does that？” Jude’s
father asked， becoming visibly emotional. Isaiah Kofie told the news
station that there’s no way he could afford a grand piano and never
would’ve imagined he’d have one in his living room.
　　When asked how to explain his once-in-a-generation talent on the
piano， Jude Kofie said that it was “a miracle”. “That’s what I
prefer，” he added.

　　The letter from the principal couldn’t have been clearer：The bus
will pick up your new kindergartner at the designated bus stop. Parents are
not to ride with children on the bus， and under no circumstances are
parents to come to the school， whether to drop off their children or to
take pictures. Parking is tight， even for teachers， staff， and buses，
and additional cars are strictly forbidden at the beginning or end of the
school day.
　　That was all understandable but they didn’t know my five-year-old
twins. Shy and sensitive， they hid whenever the doorbell rang. My fear
on that first day of school was that my girls would hide under a bus seat，
or somehow get lost or stolen. The first day of school wouldn’t be easy
for them （me）.
　　The day finally came. The bus was late， and I watched Morgan and
Chloe get on， turn and wave on the top step. Okay， then I ran like hell.
But I ran before the bus， not after the bus. Can’t a woman go for a
run？
　　The bus finally overtook me a few hundred yards before the school
building. Panting， I made my way to the front entrance， hidden safely
behind a large SUV. I had a bird’s-eye view of every child that climbed
down the bus steps and walked into the school doors. I willed my breath to
quiet down and I concentrated hard on just being still because getting
caught would be beyond embarrassing. Sweat dripped down my forehead
and mixed with the sunblock （防晒霜） I had thoughtfully applied hours
before， stinging my eyes and making me shed tears.
　　A few minutes went by. Two more buses emptied and left， and then
there they were！ Chloe smiled shyly as the principal gave her a big smile
and “Welcome！” Morgan stayed tightly behind， chin down， but she
was smiling and holding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the
sunblock that made me shed tears. I was lying about that part.

8. What’s the purpose of the letter from the principal？（　　）
A. To make some requests.
B. To offer some instructions.
C. To inform parents of some matters.
D. To remind parents of coming events.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，校长的来信主要是通知
家长一些注意事项，重点是不让家长陪同孩子去学校。
9. Why did the author run to the school？（　　）
A. To visit the school.
B. To watch her twins.
C. To call on the principal.
D. To accompany her twins.
解析： 　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，作者跟着校车一路跑到
学校门口，只是为了偷偷看看孩子。
10. How did the author feel when she was behind a SUV？（　　）
A. Happy and excited.
B. Nervous and worried.
C. Curious and surprised.
D. Sad and disappointed.
解析： 　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，由于作者违反学校的
规定跑到了校门口，因此她藏在一辆SUV的后面，生怕被别人发
现造成尴尬场面。由此判断，她当时内心紧张、忐忑不安。
11. What was the author lying about？（　　）
A. The reason why she shed tears.
B. The fact that she used sunblock.
C. The reason why she ran to school.
D. The fact that she hid behind a SUV.
解析： 　推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，作者前面说汗水和
防晒霜混合在一起，刺痛了她的眼睛，让她流泪；文章最后一句
指出，这一点她其实在撒谎。其隐含意思是：她流泪的真正原因
是看到自己的孩子后有点难过和伤感。

　　The endowment effect. The overinterpretation of small numbers. The
anchoring effect. The availability heuristic. Loss aversion ... As you
read through this list， you may recognise most or all of them as
fundamental aspects of how humans perceive （认为） and process their
experiences. They are also connected in another way： each was co-
discovered by one man， Daniel Kahneman， the author of the recently
published Thinking， Fast and Slow.
　　Kahneman has been a prominent leader in the field of cognitive
science for about four decades now， an illustrious career that has
included a Nobel Prize for his work on economic decision-making.
　　The book， written for a general audience， records this career and
the scientific advances it has generated. That said， Kahneman certainly
does not intend the book to be primarily a memoir （回忆录）， nor
should it be classified as such. Rather， the goal of the book， as the title
implies， is to communicate dual-processing theory， the idea that our
brain engages in two different forms of thought. He uses his extensive
experience — personal histories， study-by-study accounts， and likely a
handful of techniques he has developed through the years — to convey this
message， the sum product being an enjoyable and edifying read for
anyone， scientist or not.
　　At the beginning， Kahneman introduces us to the book’s two main
characters： Systems 1 and 2， our two modes of cognition （认知）.
They also make for the title of the book. System 1 is “fast”，
comprising the various prejudices that immediately perceive events；
System 2 is “slow”， allowing us to observe and direct our attention，
and gather evidence for or against one idea or another.
　　Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think，
Kahneman offers useful and inspirational insights into how choices are
made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use
different techniques to guard against the mental problems that often get us
into trouble. Topping bestseller lists for almost ten years， Thinking，
Fast and Slow is an essential book that has changed the lives of millions of
readers.

text？（　　）

A. An insight into human’s mindset.
B. An exploration into human’s behaviour.

解析： 　细节理解题。根据第三、四段可知，《思考，快与
慢》一书不是作者丹尼尔·卡尼曼的个人回忆录，它主要聚焦于我
们大脑对外部世界作出反应的双重处理理论，也就是大脑的两种
认知模式。
14. What do we learn about System 1 and System 2？（　　）
A. The former is more objective.
B. The former is more accurate.

注意力，并收集支持或反对某一想法的证据。显然，系统2更加理
性和合乎逻辑。
15. What does the author think of Thinking， Fast and Slow？（　　）
A. Practical and influential.
