56. The Rational Approach to Decision Making
第 1页 /共 2页
Decision-making, especially when confronted with a genuine dilemma, is an inevitable challenge in our lives.
In such bewildering situations, I always rely on rational analysis to guide my final choice.
When facing difficult choices, my primary guiding principle is to objectively weigh the pros and cons rather
than acting on impulsive emotions. I usually make a detailed list to visualize potential outcomes and evaluate the
long-term consequences.
A concrete example is my choice between the debate club and the drama club last year. Although I loved
acting, I ultimately opted for debate, realizing it would better hone my critical thinking and public speaking skills,
which are crucial for my future career.
To summarize, evaluating the long-term impacts of each option is the most effective factor in my
decision-making process. This logical framework ensures that my choices align with my ultimate life goals.

blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Mini-Biographies Help Clinicians Connect with Patients
Bob Hall was recovering from yet another surgery in March 2014 when a volunteer walked into his hospital
room. The volunteer wasn't there to check on his lungs or breathing. Instead, she asked Hall 1 he wanted to
tell his life story. The interview was part of a program 2 (call) My Life, My Story. Volunteer writers seek out
veterans (老兵) at the hospital like Hall, and ask them all about their lives. Then they write up a thousand-word
biography, and go over it with the patient, 3 can add more details or correct any mistakes.
When the story is finished, it 4 (attach) to the patient's electronic record, where a doctor or nurse 5
(work) anywhere in the Veterans Affairs medical system can read it. Today more than 2,000 patients at the
Madison VA 6 (share) their life stories. Project organizers say it could change the way providers interact with
patients. 7 clinicians can access a lot of medical data through a patient's electronic medical record, there's
nowhere to learn about a patient's personality or learn about his career, passion or values, said Thor Ringler, who
has managed the My Life, My Story project 8 2013. 9 idea for My Life, My Story came from Dr. Elliot
Lee, a medical resident who was doing a training programme at the Madison VA in 2012. The typical programme
for medical residents lasts only about a year, so Lee wanted to find a way to bring new, young doctors up to speed
on the VA patients. He wanted a way for them 10 (absorb) not just their health histories, but more personal

Restless Genes
第 1页 /共 10页
"No other mammal (哺乳动物) moves around like we do," says Svante Paabo, a director of the Max Planck
Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. He uses genetics to study human origins. "There's a
kind of 11 to it. Sailing out into the ocean, you have no idea what's on the other side. And now we go to Mars.
We never stop. Why " If an urge to explore rises in us at birth, perhaps its 12 lies within our genome. In fact,
there is a mutation (突变) that pops up frequently in such discussions: a variant of a gene called DRD4. DRD4
helps control dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior.
Researchers have repeatedly tied the variant DRD4-7R--carried by roughly 20 percent of all humans--to
increased 13 and restlessness. Dozens of human studies have found that 7R makes people more likely to take
risks; explore new places, ideas, foods, or relationships; and generally love movement, change, and adventure. So is
7R the explorer's gene or adventure gene, as some call it Yale University evolutionary and population geneticist
Kenneth Kidd thinks that this 14 its roles. Kidd speaks with 15 authority here, as he was part of the team
that discovered the 7R variant 20 years ago.
"You just can't 16 something as complex as human exploration to a single gene." It would be better,
Kidd suggests, to consider how groups of genes might lay a foundation for such behavior. It is likely that different
groups of genes contribute to 17 characteristics that enable us to explore. There may be other genes--7R
among them--which go even further: They 18 us to explore. It helps, in short, to think not just of the urge to
explore but of the ability--not just the motivation but the 19 . Before you can act on the urge, you need the
tools or characteristics that make exploration 20 .
II. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
'Journalism' came into existence when reliable information was scarce. As newspaper publishing and
distribution grew, editors had to satisfy demands for 21 as well as entertainment. The effort to be trusted came
to be the distinguishing mark of journalism. But printing technology made journalism powerful: a few people
gathered, sorted and 22 news and hoped that many people would buy it. However, three changes turned this
23 of public information into today's glut (过剩): the invention of radio and television, digital technology
such as email, and finally the Internet. Digital communications not only increased the amount of easily-reached
information but 24 the power of traditional publishing.
Anyone can now publish their thoughts and their books for free to a global audience. Old fashioned print
第 2页 /共 10页
publishing by the few to the many sits 25 next to successful 'peer-to-peer' networks. Against this background,
'citizen journalism' can simply mean a wider range of 26 . Big events that leave media organisations rushing to
get to the right spots are now covered by 27 witnesses who send instant photos and videos from their mobile
phones. Where established reporters fear to go--war zones being the obvious 28 --the voice of the ordinary
citizen journalist may be the only believable news source. But if it is the case that anyone can be a journalist, what
is journalism
Whatever the era and technology, it must surely involve an organised attempt to show what is happening, to
reduce or eliminate 29 about what is true. Journalists still gather the basic news, but must also meet the need
to give it meaning and context. We analyse news in the context of instant global conversations that can involve a
handful of people or millions. The forces of change may bring down media empires that fail to adapt, but they do
not 30 the idea of journalism. The need to know the accuracy of what they are reading or watching does not
31 because you have a lot of new ways of finding facts and other points of view.
The nature of the news and opinion people now consume is changing: more varied, less 32 , often like an
everyday conversation. Also the way people sample and use news and opinion is changing: they dip in and out of
news all day. But the business of getting accurate basic data to consumers, of building platforms that people 33
remains valuable work despite the changing background. Some 'citizen journalists' make a real contribution to
this; some don't. In other words, we're back where we started: 34 accuracy and honesty. The most important
question 35 of news and opinion will ask themselves is the question they have always asked: do I trust this
source to tell me something true and useful
21. A. shock B. timeliness C. accuracy D. openness
22. A. edited B. distributed C. invented D. hid
23. A. conveyance B. shortage C. management D. supply
24. A. ignored B. enhanced C. applied D. weakened
25. A. uneasily B. unexpectedly C. confidently D. surprisingly

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
You were interested in how your face and hair looked. We were interested in honesty, courage and lack of
self-consciousness. And on Monday our mutual concerns met. A group of judges that included a professor of
drawing, Stephen Farthing; the Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry; and myself, an art critic, assembled to
assess the entries for the Tate Times Drawing Challenge. The competition invited anyone from 1 to 18 to pick up
their pencils and submit (递交) a self-portrait, the best of which would be displayed in the Tate. There were more
than 1,000 entries. A self-portrait can be about honesty. But, equally, it can be all about ways of deceiving.
Artists can rival actors when it comes to making themselves look better. Think of the difference between that
public face that you practise in the mirror and that embarrassing grimace (做鬼脸) in the camera snap. The
construction of an image involves dozens of decisions. To study a self-portrait is to understand how an artist wants
to be seen. In the case of young people it would seem that for every pretty-faced teenager who would like to
imagine themselves as some soft-focus fashion model, there is another who is keen for the world to know that they
are alone and misunderstood in their rooms.
Despite all the worst intentions, a self-portrait reveals how its sitter sees the world. The judges were looking
for a vision that seemed enlivening or truthful, courageous or unselfconsciously fresh. There were pictures of
young people doing anything from brushing their teeth, to wearing funny hats, to listening to iPods. But the most
interesting images were less self-consciously presented: it was as if the sitters had been caught unprepared. The
judges tended to prefer the pictures in which the artist had really tried to look in a mirror rather than copy the
surface of a photograph.
The best images, says Stephen Farthing, professor of drawing at University of the Arts, London, 'are those
done by someone who has spent time drawing from life, not just trying to make pictures that look as if they are
finished.' 'The imperfections are where the subconscious leaks out,' Grayson Perry says. It was notable how many
entrants mapped out the spots on their faces. Clearly this matters a lot to a teenager. Hair was another obsession,
though several got so caught up that their images were more like advertisements for L'Oréal. They weren't worth it.
第 4页 /共 10页
Most judges preferred the bad-hair days of entrants such as 13-year-old Daniel Adkins, in whose self-portrait the
hair took on a character all of its own.
36. In the first paragraph, the writer says the judges discovered that ______.
A. they shared the same objectives as the competitors
B. both entrants and judges were equally satisfied with the results
C. the entrants' and the judges' differing objectives were achieved
D. the winning entries combined good looks with other positive qualities
37. According to the writer, what do all self-portraits have in common
A. They show exactly what the artist sees in the mirror.
B. They reflect the artist's attitudes and concerns.
C. They are used to improve the artist's image.
D. They deceive both the artist and the viewer.
38. What kind of pictures did the judges tend to prefer
A. The ones that were perfect.
B. The ones that were more honest.
C. The ones that were more ridiculous.
D. The ones that showed more self-awareness.
39. How does the writer feel about the way competitors drew their hair
A. It was more attractive than their spots.
B. It took up too much time for some artists.
C. It deserved more attention from the artists.
D. It suited them better when it was untidy.
（B）
A Case Against the Clock
We're so busy. We schedule and make full use of our time, squeezing all the efficiency we can out of each day.
Time management, we believe, is the solution to our busyness: if we could organize our time better, we'd be less
busy, happier, and more effective. Is this really the case Research shows that if you increase people's awareness of
time--by placing a big clock in front of them--they do more stuff. (Think about how much work you get done on
the day before vacation.) It makes sense that by getting more done, we'd feel more in control.
1.
第 5页 /共 10页
More than that, it's one of the great fantasies of time management: If you get more organized, you will get on
top. However, that works only in a finite (有限的) world. We haven't lived in that world for quite a while. In our
infinite world, we will never be able to get on top of everything. When we complete more tasks, more take their
place--send more e-mails, get more replies. As we seek to maximize our time, we slice and dice it into ever-smaller
parts. But when we divide our attention among a thousand mini activities, we prevent ourselves from engaging
deeply or thinking properly.
2.
Conversations with friends are disemboweled with frequent "productive" glances at the inbox; our ability to
think is decimated by the distraction of the ping and the ring. We maintain a state of chaotic mental activity that is
the opposite of the best psychological state of flow, where attention is allowed to sink into an activity without
distraction, where we bring our thoughts, actions, and goals into perfect synchronicity (同步). Flow doesn't happen
in a short period of time but in long durations of attention. Effectiveness comes from two core factors: prioritization
and achievement.
3.
When we prioritize well, we choose to do the right things, not just the obvious things. Yet a strong time
awareness makes us prioritize the urgent and immediate rather than the important and strategic. Research by
Microsoft, for example, suggests that 77 percent of U.K. workers feel they have had a productive day if they have
emptied their inbox. It horrifies me to see the number of blogs and books that focus on getting to an empty inbox or
zero tasks, as if either achievement were worthwhile. No business or life was changed by an empty inbox.
40. What is the main idea of the passage
A. We should make full use of time.
B. It is not easy to schedule our time.
C. Time management is not all that good.
D. We should learn how to organize our time.
41. Choose three sentences from the following sentences (a-d) that best fit the blanks in the passage. a. Your
Efficiency Matters b. You're Less Effective c. Your Attention Suffers d. You Just Get Busier
A. 1:a;2:b;3:c
B. 1:a;2:c;3:d
C. 1:d;2:b;3:a
D. 1:d;2:c;3:b
42. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with
第 6页 /共 10页
A. We can never get everything done.
B. We should forget about the state of flow.
C. It's important to deal with urgent tasks first.
D. It's wise to divide a big task into mini activities.
（C）
Waymo has been testing so frequently in our neighborhood that we say "see you tomorrow" to the white
minivan outfitted with sensors and computers. The fact that a robot is driving, however, is no surprise anymore.
This is the reality we have been born into. Already Waymo vehicles are operating in San Francisco, making it the
first major city with a driverless ride-hailing (打车服务) service. Yet doubt remains. It's not so much the
technology. When I arranged for Waymo to pick up my family for a 20-minute test ride, the robot made no obvious
mistakes. And in the "trial driverless" ride-hailing service Waymo has been operating for more than two years in
Phoenix, it has yet to be involved in any major incidents.
No, the reason these services aren't widely available is mostly to do with the absence of a clear business model.
Back in 2014, Travis Kalanick, then-CEO of Uber, said the prospect of driverless cars posed an existential
challenge to Uber. Human drivers account for two-thirds of the cost of an Uber journey, he reasoned, so "when
there is no other human in the car, the cost of taking an Uber anywhere is cheaper". Since then, it's become clear
that the economics are more complex. What made Uber so disruptive is the gig (零工) economy.
The app serves nearly 100 million people each month in more than 10,000 cities, without Uber owning a
single car. Its drivers are contractors, so it only pays them when they are carrying passengers. If the driver is
waiting around at the airport, say, it's not Uber's problem. It has sophisticated software to match riders with drivers,
and to do it quickly. The driverless industry throws away these advantages. Instead of hiring drivers on the cheap,
Waymo needs to build or purchase vehicles costing some $200,000 apiece. Own too many cars and they are
wasting capital. Too few and they'll be frustrating passengers with lengthy wait times.
A driver also plays the role of conductor, ensuring the car is fueled and avoiding illegal activity. Driverless
cars will have to be serviced and monitored to do the same thing. "Driverless does not mean humanless," says
Ashley Nunes, a researcher at MIT. His work on the subject has concluded that robotaxis can't compete with the
gig economy on price. "Robotaxis replace one set of human costs, the human driver, with another, inefficiency," he
adds. When robotaxis finally open to the public in San Francisco, they risk becoming a gimmick (噱头). Fun to try,
sure, but they'll cost the same as an Uber, arrive no faster and decline to speed up when you're in a rush.
43. What does the writer think of the technology of Waymo vehicles
第 7页 /共 10页
A. Reliable.
B. Imperfect.
C. Expensive.
D. Mysterious.
44. According to Travis Kalanick, driverless cars ______.
A. would be more and more complex
B. would lack a clear business model
C. would gain market share at the expense of Uber
D. would fail to win over Uber in ride-hailing services
45. Which of the following is one of "these advantages" (paragraph 3)
A. Uber serves nearly 100 million people each month.
B. Uber allows its drivers to wait around at the airport.
C. Uber has a sophisticated software to manage its drivers.
D. Uber pays drivers only when they are carrying passengers.
46. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with
A. The public in San Francisco don't want to try robotaxis.
B. It is the gig economy that makes robotaxis lose their appeal.
C. Robotaxis don't have the advantages they are thought to have.
D. Driverless vehicles can avoid illegal activity if programmed properly.

You might have a picture in your mind of the Arctic--with its vast icy landscapes and plentiful wildlife. But
第 8页 /共 10页
where actually is the Arctic and what cultures live there 47 Its centre, the North Pole, rests over the Arctic
Ocean, which until recently has been covered by relatively stable, year-round sea ice. The Arctic Circle sets both
the southern boundary of the Arctic and the latitude (66.5°North) at which the sun remains above, or below, the
horizon for 24 hours, at least one day per year.
The further north you go, sunlight is gained or lost at greater speed. 48 Moonlight reflecting off snow
and ice generates light but life adjusts to the dim. Summers are full of light and people full of energy. However, the
intense sunlight reflecting off snow or ice in spring can be very harmful and cause blindness, so Arctic Peoples
have made glasses to protect their eyes. Today, Arctic Peoples use hats and sunglasses, but some historic models
elegantly protected the eyes, focused the vision, and helped communicate identity through their different styles.
Today, four million people live in the Arctic.
They are spread across the eight countries with territory in the Arctic: Russia, USA, Canada,
Denmark/Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Only 10% of those Arctic inhabitants are indigenous
to the region, belonging to one or more of the 40 different cultural groups. 49 When much of Europe was
covered in glaciers, the plains of northeastern Siberia were glacier-free and it was possible to settle. Recent
archaeological findings show that hunters occupied the mouth of the Yana River of northeastern Siberia 30,000
years ago.
The ancient people of Yana (in northeastern Siberia) spent a lot of time making jewellery, decorating
themselves with animal-teeth pendants and beads made from mammoth ivory, hare bones or rare minerals. They
also made bracelets carved with detailed marks indicating personal or community identity. The earliest Arctic
inhabitants led rich lives, and used resources available to them in innovative ways. 50 For example, they
invented tools to help them survive the cold. They hunted animals and used their skins for clothes. They also
developed their own art and music.

AWorld of Water
Water is essential to life and we depend on it, yet many people take water for granted. As the population of the
world increases, and with it the demand for water, there is growing concern that our water supplies will not prove
adequate. In areas near the coast, an obvious solution to this problem is to find ways of using the abundant supply
第 9页 /共 10页
of water from the sea. Water covers 70% of the surface of the earth, but 98% of this is undrinkable salt water.
However, for centuries man has experimented with different methods of converting salt water into fresh water in a
process called desalination, whereby salt and contaminants (污染物) are removed from the water.
The challenge, nowadays, is to do this on a much larger scale. One place which has used desalination for many
years is the United Arab Emirates (the UAE). It installed the first desalination plants in 1972, and nowadays most
of the drinking water in the country is supplied by the process. New filtration systems have been developed to
replace the traditional methods, which used a heating process. Another example is Saudi Arabia, whose
desalination plants produce almost 25% of the world's desalinated water.
One of the largest plants in the world has been constructed there, producing 300 billion litres annually.
Unfortunately, desalination is an expensive process using large amounts of energy, but research is currently being
carried out into the development of more efficient technology using a combination of different methods. To supply
water to 25% of the world's population living within 25 kilometres of the sea, more desalination plants are expected
to be built in the future. The hope is that the technology currently being developed will lower the costs and help
solve the problem of water shortages in many parts of the world.
