As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
4. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
5. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
6. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
7. What message does the text want to convey
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。
C
At this very moment around the world, athletes are stepping almost naked into freezing cold rooms. Why on Earth are they doing this Because it’s supposed to help them feel better.
The treatment is called whole-body cryotherapy. Basketball star LeBron James, soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo, and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. have all tried it. The therapy works like this. You take off everything but your underwear. Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a small room that looks sort of like a shower, except your head sticking 16% out the top. Once you’re locked in, air cooled to below -200°F(-129°C) fills the room. That’s way colder than Antarctica. You stay in for two to three minutes.
Advocates believe the extremely cold air helps muscles recover faster and reduces other body pain. After his first cryotherapy sessions, Phil Mackenzie, a professional rugby player, felt noticeably better. He told Scientific American, ‘I felt refreshed right away. My sleep was better’. Soon, he was using it four times a week. Those who promote cryotherapy make all sorts of wild claims about its benefits. Supposedly, that extremely cold air can increase focus, improve skin tone, make you happier, burn calories, slow aging, and much more.
Is there any evidence to back up these incredible claims Nope. Several small scientific studies have looked at whether the therapy can improve muscle recovery after exercise, with encouraging results. But there just isn’t enough evidence to show that the therapy works. The benefits some people experience may just be the placebo effect. That’s when a patient’s expectation that a treatment will work leads to an improvement.
The US Food & Drug Administration has actually issued a warning about whole-body cryotherapy. It cautions that the liquid nitrogen used to cool the room may make it difficult to breathe. Frost bite is another potential risk, which is why participants wear gloves and socks.
What do you think Is it a chance for a better athletic performance worth the risk
8. What can we learn about the therapy according to the first two paragraphs
A. The whole-body cryotherapy can help athletes recover.
B The therapy has won popularity with only great athletes.
C. People need to wear gloves and socks after cold air fills the room.
D. People need to stay in a freezing small room with almost nothing on.
9. Why does the author mention Phil Mackenzie in Paragraph 3
A To explain a rule. B. To support an idea.
C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.
10. Why do people feel better after receiving the therapy
A. Many celebrities have received the therapy.
B. Extremely cold air is beneficial to people’s health.
C. The therapy may have psychological benefit to them.
D. Scientific studies have proved the effect of the therapy.
11. Which of the following best describes the authorities’ attitude to the therapy
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了全身冷冻疗法的过程、效果以及它所存在的潜在风险。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“You take off everything but your underwear. Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a small room that looks sort of like a shower, except your head sticking 16% out the top.”（除了内衣，你什么都脱了。然后你穿上暖和的袜子和手套，走进一个看起来有点像淋浴间的小房间，只是你的头有16%露出顶部。）说明关于治疗，人们需要待在一个冰冷的小房间里，几乎什么都不穿。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Advocates believe the extremely cold air helps muscles recover faster and reduces other body pain. After his first cryotherapy sessions, Phil Mackenzie, a professional rugby player, felt noticeably better. He told Scientific American, ‘I felt refreshed right away. My sleep was better’. Soon, he was using it four times a week.”（拥护者认为，极冷的空气有助于肌肉更快地恢复，并减少其他身体疼痛。在第一次冷冻治疗后，职业橄榄球运动员菲尔·麦肯齐感觉明显好转。他告诉《科学美国人》：“我立刻感到精神焕发。我的睡眠更好了。很快，他每周使用四次。）说明作者在第3段提到Phil Mackenzie是为了支持全身冷冻疗法是一个有效的方法这一观点。A. To explain a rule解释一条规定；B. To support an idea支持一个观点；C. To present a fact呈现一个事实；D. To make a prediction做出一个预测。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The benefits some people experience may just be the placebo effect. That’s when a patient’s expectation that a treatment will work leads to an improvement.”（一些人所经历的好处可能只是安慰剂效应。此时，患者对治疗有效的期望会导致病情好转。）说明人们在接受治疗后感觉更好，因为治疗可能对他们的心理有好处。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The US Food & Drug Administration has actually issued a warning about whole-body cryotherapy. It cautions that the liquid nitrogen used to cool the room may make it difficult to breathe. Frost bite is another potential risk, which is why participants wear gloves and socks. What do you think Is it a chance for a better athletic performance worth the risk ”（美国食品和药物管理局实际上已经发布了关于全身冷冻疗法的警告。它警告说，用来冷却房间的液氮可能会使人呼吸困难。冻伤是另一个潜在风险，这就是为什么参与者戴手套和袜子。你怎么认为？这是一个值得冒险的更好的运动表现的机会吗？）说明作者当局对治疗的态度是谨慎的。A. Favorable有利的；B. Cautious谨慎的；C. Tolerant容忍的； D. Indifferent漠不关心的。故选B项。

Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level, regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.
However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort.
While the CEO appreciated Oliver’s yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of the team productive. In response, Oliver worked out a plan to help address his cooperation challenges using techniques many other executives had deployed.
When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point ” Surveying others to understand what’s helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.
12. What can we learn about Oliver
A. He lacks creativity. B. He favours competition.
C. He works enthusiastically. D. He behaves irresponsibly.
13. What is a result of Oliver’s over-participation
A. The team generated more diverse ideas.
B. Oliver’s colleagues became less productive.
C. Group meetings were more time-consuming.
D. Oliver’s teammates were inspired to work harder.
14. What technique did Oliver employ to fix the issue
A. Hearing others’ voices. B. Providing specific ideas.
C. Strengthening his leadership. D. Building strong relationships.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. When Leaders Fail to Keep the Team Productive
B. When Contributing Gets in the Way of Cooperating
C. How a Great Team Welcomes Ideas in a Discussion
D. How Active Participation Gives Rise to a Better Team
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Oliver工作很热情，但是他的过度参与反而降低了团队的工作效率，他参与得越多，他周围的人就越受冷落。于是Oliver通过倾听他人的声音，来指导同事创造他们自己的想法，从而提高团队工作效率。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level, regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.(Oliver是一家高科技公司的首席技术官，他喜欢参与所有的高层对话，无论是什么话题。他常常是第一个为一个项目举手的人，似乎有无限的能力完成高质量的工作，并主动提出帮助他的同事和直接下属。Oliver似乎全力以赴；乐观、精力充沛、乐于助人，是每个人的楷模)”可推知，Oliver工作很热情。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort. (然而，Oliver参与得越多，他周围的人就越受冷落。他的想法没有激发别人的创造力，反而比别人的更有创意。他花时间在会议上发言，耗尽了房间里的氧气水平。Oliver对自己的许多想法被采纳感到鼓舞，但对其他人的努力不足感到沮丧)”可知，Oliver参与得越多，其他同事就越沮丧、不受重视、无法激发创造力，Oliver过度参与的结果是同事们的工作效率降低了。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point ” Surveying others to understand what's helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.(为了解决这个问题，Oliver学会了在提出自己的想法之前问两个具体问题的价值：“你有什么想法？”以及“此时什么对你最有帮助？”通过调查他人来了解什么是有帮助的，可以为我们的贡献指明更好的途径：直接通过我们的想法，通过指导同事创造他们自己的想法，或者在其他人的想法的基础上继续发展)”可知，Oliver通过问其他同事问题，来倾听他人的声音来解决这个问题。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded.

(当我们过度参与时，我们认为自己是在帮助别人。然而，“帮助”是由接受者定义的，而不是给予者。Oliver非但没有改善与同事的关系，反而提出了大量的想法，剥夺了他们的成就感。他们感到沮丧、被打断、被排斥。为了解决这个问题，Oliver学会了在提出自己的想法之前问两个具体问题的价值：“你有什么想法？”以及“此时什么对你最有帮助？”通过调查他人来了解什么是有帮助的，可以为我们的贡献指明更好的途径：直接通过我们的想法，通过指导同事创造他们自己的想法，或者在其他人的想法的基础上继续发展)”结合文章主要讲述了Oliver工作很热情，但是他的过度参与（对团队的贡献）反而降低了团队的工作效率，他参与得越多，他周围的人就越受冷落，不利于合作。于是Oliver通过倾听他人的声音，来指导同事创造他们自己的想法，从而提高团队工作效率。可知，B选项“当贡献妨碍合作时”最符合文章标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. We’ ve never had access to so much information. ____16____. So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking.
Watch out for confirmation prejudice(偏见). ____17____. In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. And we’re much more likely to ignore information if it is not in line with our views, which will affect our ability to process information.
Acknowledge small differences. In life, most situations are varying and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what colour is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. On a cold misty morning, white or gray. ____18____.
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”. Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. ____19____. Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. Arguing is just to waste somebody’s time.
____20____. It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. That science-looking paragraphs might look very convincing until you dig a little deeper and find it was just posted by someone having no qualifications. That is the case we should not overlook.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork, or feeling like you’re fundamentally right. But in the long run, it leads to a more curious, educated and harmonious society, which is the biggest win of all.
A. Avoid mistakes
B. Check your sources
C. We all enjoy feeling like we’re right
D. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems
E. So pay attention to differences in many situations
F. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind
G. Putting yourself into the other person’s shoes can have more fruitful outcomes
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了增强批判性思维的几个策略。
【16题详解】
上文“We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. (我们很幸运地生活在一个只需点击一下按钮就可以获得人类知识总量的时代)”说明我们生活在一个信息量大而且获取信息非常容易的时代。下文“So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking. (因此，这里有一些策略可以增强你的批判性思维)”说明要采取策略提高批判性思维，D项“但并不是所有东西都和表面看起来一样”与上文构成转折关系，承接下文，符合题意。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“Watch out for confirmation prejudice. (谨防确认偏见)”说明要防止偏见。下文“In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. (在重复的实验中，心理学家表明，如果某件事证实了我们已经知道的东西，我们就更有可能接受它作为证据)”说明对于已经知道的东西，我们就更可能接受它是对的，C项“我们都喜欢感觉自己是对的”引出下文，符合题意。故选C。
18题详解】
上文“Acknowledge small difference. In life, most situations are different and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world.(承认微小差异。在生活中，大多数情况都是不同和复杂的。承认这些可以丰富我们看待世界的方式)”说明要承认差异，E项中“differences”是关键词，E项“因此，请注意许多情况下的差异”承接上文，符合题意。故选E。
【19题详解】
下文“Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. (真正试着去理解其他人的想法)”说明要站在其他人的角度思考问题。G项中“设身处地为他人着想会有更丰硕的成果”表示设身处地为他人着想。语意一致，引出下文，符合题意。故选G。
【20题详解】
下文“It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. (知道你的信息来源比以往任何时候都重要)”说明知道信息的来源是很重要的。B项“核实你的信息来源”引出下文，符合题意。故选B。

As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
4. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
5. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
6. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
7. What message does the text want to convey
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
C
At this very moment around the world, athletes are stepping almost naked into freezing cold rooms. Why on Earth are they doing this Because it’s supposed to help them feel better.
The treatment is called whole-body cryotherapy. Basketball star LeBron James, soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo, and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. have all tried it. The therapy works like this. You take off everything but your underwear. Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a small room that looks sort of like a shower, except your head sticking 16% out the top. Once you’re locked in, air cooled to below -200°F(-129°C) fills the room. That’s way colder than Antarctica. You stay in for two to three minutes.
Advocates believe the extremely cold air helps muscles recover faster and reduces other body pain. After his first cryotherapy sessions, Phil Mackenzie, a professional rugby player, felt noticeably better. He told Scientific American, ‘I felt refreshed right away. My sleep was better’. Soon, he was using it four times a week. Those who promote cryotherapy make all sorts of wild claims about its benefits. Supposedly, that extremely cold air can increase focus, improve skin tone, make you happier, burn calories, slow aging, and much more.
Is there any evidence to back up these incredible claims Nope. Several small scientific studies have looked at whether the therapy can improve muscle recovery after exercise, with encouraging results. But there just isn’t enough evidence to show that the therapy works. The benefits some people experience may just be the placebo effect. That’s when a patient’s expectation that a treatment will work leads to an improvement.
The US Food & Drug Administration has actually issued a warning about whole-body cryotherapy. It cautions that the liquid nitrogen used to cool the room may make it difficult to breathe. Frost bite is another potential risk which is why participants wear gloves and socks.
What do you think Is it a chance for a better athletic performance worth the risk
8. What can we learn about the therapy according to the first two paragraphs
A. The whole-body cryotherapy can help athletes recover.
B. The therapy has won popularity with only great athletes.
C. People need to wear gloves and socks after cold air fills the room.
D. People need to stay in a freezing small room with almost nothing on.
9. Why does the author mention Phil Mackenzie in Paragraph 3
A. To explain a rule. B. To support an idea.
C To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.
10. Why do people feel better after receiving the therapy
A. Many celebrities have received the therapy.
B. Extremely cold air is beneficial to people’s health.
C. The therapy may have psychological benefit to them.
D. Scientific studies have proved the effect of the therapy.
11. Which of the following best describes the authorities’ attitude to the therapy

Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level, regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.
However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort.
While the CEO appreciated Oliver’s yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of the team productive. In response, Oliver worked out a plan to help address his cooperation challenges using techniques many other executives had deployed.
When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of ” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point ” Surveying others to understand what’s helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.
12. What can we learn about Oliver
A. He lacks creativity. B. He favours competition.
C. He works enthusiastically. D. He behaves irresponsibly.
13. What is a result of Oliver’s over-participation
A. The team generated more diverse ideas.
B. Oliver’s colleagues became less productive.
C. Group meetings were more time-consuming.
D. Oliver’s teammates were inspired to work harder.
14. What technique did Oliver employ to fix the issue
A. Hearing others’ voices. B. Providing specific ideas.
C Strengthening his leadership. D. Building strong relationships.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. When Leaders Fail to Keep the Team Productive
B. When Contributing Gets in the Way of Cooperating
C. How a Great Team Welcomes Ideas in a Discussion
D. How Active Participation Gives Rise to a Better Team

We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. We’ ve never had access to so much information. ____16____. So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking.
Watch out for confirmation prejudice(偏见). ____17____. In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. And we’re much more likely to ignore information if it is not in line with our views, which will affect our ability to process information.
Acknowledge small differences. In life, most situations are varying and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what colour is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. On a cold misty morning, white or gray. ____18____.
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”. Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. ____19____. Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. Arguing is just to waste somebody’s time.
____20____. It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. That science-looking paragraphs might look very convincing until you dig a little deeper and find it was just posted by someone having no qualifications. That is the case we should not overlook.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork, or feeling like you’re fundamentally right. But in the long run, it leads to a more curious, educated and harmonious society, which is the biggest win of all.
A. Avoid mistakes
B. Check your sources
C. We all enjoy feeling like we’re right
D. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems
E. So pay attention to differences in many situations
F. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind
G. Putting yourself into the other person’s shoes can have more fruitful outcomes
