You are what you think. Whatever you are doing right now is determined by your thinking. All
your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not
aware of your thinking, you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is
subconscious, you are in no position to see any problems in it. And, if you don’t see any problems
in it, you won’t be motivated to change it. What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that
thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it. As a result, most people
are in many ways victims of their thinking.
Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your
success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning,
but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual
skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school.
英语试题（第2页，共10页）Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person’s thinking
is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success, why not take the time to
learn from the best thinkers?
This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities
and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker.
Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of
your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking.
This book, as a whole, introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well
through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them, you
can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately, the quality of your life.
24. Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking?
A. They are victims of emotions.
B. They are unaware of the need.
C. They think highly of themselves.
D. They lack the academic guidance.
25. What plays the most crucial role in school success?
A. The course content.
B. The school environment.
C. The commitment of teachers.
D. The quality of an individual’s thinking.
26. What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Make friends with. B. Win over.
C. Follow the example of. D. Look up to.
27. The book is organized according to ________.
A. types of life challenges B. varieties of thinking tools
C. determinants of life value D. ideas of different thinkers
C
Human history is full of horse stories like guiding cowboys home on foggy nights and taking
wounded soldiers through battle zones. Such sensible and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel, a
computer scientist and roboticist, think of robots. “A horse that can take a rider home on its own
would be the highest level of autonomy,” Jatel says. “You trust them with your life.” She was drawn
to learning how such relationships form and if it could help improve human-robot interactions.
英语试题（第3页，共10页）For a year, Jatel engaged herself in the horse world. She watched classes in horse training, and
she also talked with students, instructors, trainers and horse owners. Along the way, Jatel even
learned to ride.
Horses learn signals from their trainers on how to comfortably interact with people. People,
too, must learn their part. Riders must learn what a horse wants or feels based on its behavior, and
what signals to use to direct horses to perform in desired ways. Jatel found some similarities, here,
to working with robots. People must learn how to direct robots to do specific tasks. They also must
learn what to do when robots don’t perform as planned. The goal is to program robots that will
respond predictably to inputs from people. But like horses, autonomous robots also should be able
to respond on their own as conditions change. For example, a self-driving car must stop to avoid
hitting something, even if some human mistakenly tells it to keep going.
Trainers and riders work with horses to build respect. Horses show that respect by matching
their pace to a human or giving someone who is leading them a safe degree of personal space.
Trainers begin their work with a horse by getting them to show signs of respect in basic interactions,
Jatel says. Later, trainers will develop more complex interactions. Gradually, a horse’s respect can
grow into trust.
But that trust is not given. And there may be a similar limitation with robots. What would it
mean for robots and people to respect and trust each other? For now, she adds, this is largely
uncharted territory. But she’s looking to build a path.
28. What drew Elina Jatel’s attention to horses?
A. Horses’ amazing performance. B. Long history of horse training.
C. Horse-human interdependence. D. Her horse-riding experience.
29. What are the robots of the highest autonomy designed to do?
A. To act like real horses.
B. To show respect to humans.
C. To follow instructions from humans.
D. To make independent and sensible decisions.
30. What will Jatel’s future research most probably focus on?
A. The limitations of robots.
B. Trust between robots and humans.
C. Path toward higher robot efficiency.
D. Similarities between horses and robots.
英语试题（第4页，共10页）31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. History of Human-Horse Relationship
B. Secrets of Human-Animal Interactions
C. The Role of Trust in Human-Robot Partnerships
D. Horses as the Inspiration for Autonomous Robots

When we recall a memory, we bring back specific details about it. But we often also experience
a vivid feeling of remembering the event. Memory researchers call these processes objective and
subjective memory. A new study shows they can function independently and involve different parts
of the brain.
“The study distinguishes between how well we remember and how well we think we remember,
and shows that decision making depends primarily on the subjective evaluation of memory
evidence,” says psychologist Denis Guetta.
The researchers tested objective and subjective memory. After showing volunteers a series of
images of common objects, the researchers showed them pairs of images and asked them to
determine which of the two they had seen before. They were asked to rate the memory as
“recollected” (vivid and detailed), or “familiar” (lacking detail). Some tests showed similar image
pairs, others unrelated pairs. This setup measured objective memory based on recognition and
subjective memory based on vividness.
The researchers also used fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) to measure brain activity during this
task. The results showed higher levels of objective memory with pairs of similar images, but
participants claimed vivid memories more with dissimilar pairs. They were more likely to base their
decision about whether to keep or clear an image on memory feeling rather than accuracy. For
example, a person could have a vivid memory of going to an event with friends. Some of the actual
details of that memory might be a bit off, but they may feel it is a vivid memory, so they might
decide to go out with the same people again.
The fMRI data showed that objective and subjective memory engaged varied regions of the
brain. The regions involved in subjective experiences were also involved in decision making,
supporting the connection between the two processes.
“By understanding how our brains give rise to vivid subjective memories and memory
decisions, we are moving a step closer to understanding how we learn to evaluate memory evidence
to make effective decisions in the future,” says researcher Analiz William.
英语试题（第5页，共10页）32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By analyzing problems. B. By giving examples.
C. By interpreting findings. D. By defining concepts.
33. What were the volunteers asked to do during the study?
A. To draw the images they had previously seen.
B. To compare details of objects they had been shown.
C. To categorize their memory as recollected or familiar.
D. To recall specific emotions related to the images shown.
34. What does the research find out about decision making?
A. Both types of memory have great influence on it.
B. Our vivid memory helps us make wise decisions.
C. It mainly relies on subjective memory evaluation.
D. It’s decided by the accuracy of objective memory.
35. What is Analiz William’s attitude towards the study?
A. Optimistic. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive.

For most of history, people lived in small groups of up to 150 people. Then villages and small
towns developed, offering safety and support through the sharing of resources. As time passed,
urban living brought additional advantages such as better jobs, schools and healthcare. Larger towns
also gave people more chances to meet and interact. This is important. 36
Today, over half of the world’s population currently lives in towns and cities. But this has
resulted in a strange paradox (悖论). Although social opportunities are one reason people choose to
live in large cities, research suggests that city life can be lonely. 37 People from all over
the world can join online communities and make virtual friends without leaving their home.
The development of virtual communities can be traced back to the 1860s. Back then, telegraph
operators exchanged messages and gradually formed friendships over long distances. 38
Later, in the 1960s, radios started to provide a means of short-distance communication and
developed communities with their own unique language and usernames.
39 Computers were not very powerful yet, so people could post messages and share
news and stories but not music or photos. Still, people loved being able to make friends online and
then hang out with them. As technology became more powerful, online communities for fun,
英语试题（第6页，共10页）education and business emerged, where people could explore a virtual 3D world, have online lessons,
and even buy things with virtual money.
These days, there are thousands of virtual communities and that number keeps growing. Many
people believe they will become more important. 40 Particularly, they’re concerned that
posting personal information online might lead to a loss of privacy. So perhaps the future will be
more like the past. People will spend most of their time in real communities.
A. This trend, however, is not likely to continue.
B. As Aristotle said, the nature of humans is to be social.
C. That may explain why virtual communities are so popular.
D. The first popular online communities developed in the 1980s.
E. Before cell phones existed, radio was an easy way to communicate.
F. Nevertheless, others worry about problems with these communities.
G. This is among the earliest examples of virtual community interactions.

I vividly remember the day when my husband and I set off on a new journey to Tanzania. He

More young people are trying their hand at farming the soil. Guo Lan, 29, works in a vegetable
greenhouse on his organic farm 56 (locate) in the suburban district of Hefei, East China’s
Anhui province. It is the eighth time this summer that Guo has failed to grow vegetables 57

of pepper and alcohol, the vegetable 58 (leaf) were still being eaten by insects. “I will not
give up 59 (try),” the 29-year-old accountant-turned-farmer says. He is determined to turn
his farm into 60 organic one, cultivating fruits and vegetables with the same flavors as those
from his childhood memories.
“Growing tasty and healthy food 61 (be) my dream since I was a teenager. I know
62 challenging it can be, but if you take the soil 63 (serious), I believe it will pay
off,” Guo says. He adds that farming is not a business that can make quick money, but for him, it
has become an uplifting activity that brings back memories of spending time on the farm with
64 (he) parents as a child. Guo’s passion for organic farming and commitment to producing
healthy food will surely inspire more young people to explore 65 (sustain) agriculture.

An Insignificant Task
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting for all the children in the
class. It took place during the first week of the term. On that day, every boy and girl was given a job
for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
As with everything, some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager
to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils
had been most responsible during the previous year, and those children were the ones who most
looked forward to this day. Among them, Rita stood out. She was a kind and quiet girl. During the
previous year she had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita was
the favourite to be given the best job of all: to look after the class dog.
But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing
the books for the lessons, telling the time, cleaning the blackboard, or looking after one of the pets.
However, Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one
ant. Even though the teacher insisted that this ant was a very special ant, Rita could not help feeling
disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. They sympathised with her and remarked at
how unfair it was that she had been given that job.
英语试题（第9页，共10页）Yet, Rita, who liked her teacher very much, chose to prove her worth through excellence. “I
will turn this little task into something great,” Rita said to herself. What she didn’t know was that
the teacher had secretly entered her into a rainforest insect raising competition.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Rita started investigating all about her little ant.
On the last day of the school year, the teacher burst into the classroom with excitement.
