Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　Human beings are always on the way to search for better learning methods. To learn something new, you have to fail several times. However, how many times do you need to fail Many education experts say that there is a “sweet spot (the position on a bat or racket where the best effect is achieved)” in learning. That is, we learn best when we are challenged to get something just outside the level of our knowledge. If a challenge is too simple, we don’t learn anything new. However, we can’t improve our knowledge either and may give up when a challenge is too difficult.
So where does the sweet spot lie According to a new study, it is when failure happens 15% of the time. To put it another way, it’s when the right answer is given 85% of the time.
A professor(教授) named Wilson and some researchers did some experiments(实验) and then came up with “85% Rule”. They taught computers some simple tasks. They found when difficulty was 15%, the computers learned fastest.
When researchers looked at studies of animal learning, they found that 85% Rule held true in those examples as well.
“If the classes you are taking are too easy and you can do well in them easily, then you probably aren’t getting as much out of a class as someone who is trying to keep up,” Wilson said.

答案
Ⅰ.【主旨大意】 难度一直是学习中的一个重要问题。难度太小,不能激发学习者的兴趣,也很难让学习者学到新的东西;如果难度过大,则容易让学习者难以应对,甚至想放弃。那么,什么样的难度对学习者是合适的 本文给出了确切的答案。
1.D　细节理解题。由第一段中的“If a challenge is too simple, we don’t learn anything new.”可知,如果挑战太容易,我们就学不到新的东西。
2.A　代词指代题。由上文“So where does the sweet spot lie According to a new study”可判断,it 指代the sweet spot,指在失败率为15%时,是学习的最佳难度,即“最佳击球点”。
3.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They found when difficulty was 15%, the computers learned fastest.” 可知,当容易度为85%时,学习者会学得更好。
4.C　细节理解题。由文章第二段可知,“sweet spot”是指难度为15%,也就是容易度为85%。所以85%定律就是学习中的“sweet spot”。
5.A　主旨大意题。根据文章总体内容可判断,这篇文章主要介绍了学习难度的最佳点,也就是学习的“sweet spot”。
Ⅱ.6.singer　7.wonderfully 8.standing　9.him　 10.excited　11.and　 12.while/when　
13.To　14.stories　 15.thought
