三、阅读理解
Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be humans is to think. But thinking may come naturally without knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking(批判性思维). When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.
The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen — beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers and the faulty reasoning(推理).
Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.
Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing films. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence(智力), you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffmann, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffmann was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffmann at ease by saying, "Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly."
1.Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, ___________.
A.it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast
B.we might be influenced by other people's ideas
C.it will be easy for us to do something wrong
D.we might be fooled by other people's ideas
2.If you are a critical thinker, you will ___________.
A.think deeply about different ideas B.trust the reports in the newspapers
C.take one view against another view D.criticize other people for their mistakes
3.In the last paragraph, the part "something new" suggests that ___________.
A.the smarter you are, the faster you do things
B.the faster you do things, the smarter you become
C.speed can improve intelligence
D.intelligence is not decided by speed
4.What will be the best title for the passage
A.Thinking and Critical Thinking B.Understanding Critical Thinking
C.Thinking Is Natural D.Thinking Fast Means Intelligence
四、完形填空
When Matthew Shifrin turned 13, he got a life-changing birthday present from his friend, Lilya Finkel.
It was an 843-piece Middle Eastern 1 palace. And with it were instructions that Finkel made 2 for it. Finkel invented a unique name for every one of the more than 800 pieces in the palace. Then she spent countless hours typing building 3 in Braille (盲文) that spelled out how to 4 them all together.
His mind was 5 . As a blind person, Shifrinhad never before been able to complete a Lego set on his own. Shifrin knew immediately that he had to help other blind children find the same 6 .
Shifrin says, "For blind people, Lego sets act as small 3D 7 for real-life buildings instead of two-dimensional photographs. Lego bricks allow me to see things that are 8 to explore by touch."
Several years after that incredible Lego experience, he created similar instructions for about 45 other Lego sets together with Finkel, all published on a website they created, "Lego for the 9 ".
Shifrin began 10 to Lego several years ago to discuss his work, 11 it was in 2017, when Finkel died of cancer, that he was finally connected with the right person.
