If you can’t trust an expert to make a good prediction, who can you trust
Try a crowd. Under the right conditions, crowds can make better predictions than the individuals in them-a crowd can even beat a single expert.
More than a hundred years ago, the scientist Francis Galton visited an English country Faithere, he came across a contest to guess the weight of an ox. Interested in mathematics, Galton gathered 800 guesses and dealt with the numbers. To his surprise, Galton found that the crowd’s guess (the average) was just 1 pound different from the ox’s real weight. Did Galton happen to collect a lot lucky guesses
David Kestenbaumand Jacob Goldstein, a pair of reporters, wanted to find out. One steamy summer day in 2015, they visited the “Burlington County Farm Fair” in New Jersey. There, Penelope, a black and white cow, shining with good health, greeted them. She was as tall as Goldstein’s shoulder. The reporters led the cow onto a large, flat truck scale (秤). A curious crowd had gathered, but Kestenbaum and Goldstein carefully guarded the scale’s digital display (数字显示), It flashed 1, 355 pounds.
Later, far from the sweet smell of warm hay, the reporters uploaded a photo of Penelope to the Planet Money website. They invited people to guess her weight, and more than 17, 000 people did. The crowd’s guess was 1, 287 pounds. That was just 5 percent less than Penelope’s true weight. Impressive!
Among the crowd, some called themselves cow experts, while others probably couldn’t tell a cot from an ox. When Goldstein and Kestenbaum calculated the guesses only from the experts, the result wasn’t any better. In fact, it was even worse:83 pounds off for the experts compared to 68 pounds for the whole crowd.
Crowds aren’t just lucky. Lots of people with different bits of information and ideas can make crowds collectively smart. A crowd will always make a prediction at least as good as the typical person in it. Often a crowd will do better. If people in a crowd have reasonably good information, they can make excellent predictions. Some businesses, financial markets, and Internet searches rely on this phenomenon (现象).
If you want to predict who’s going to win the big game on Saturday or when school buses will fly, ask a crowd of reasonably knowledgeable people instead of a single expert. Just make sure the crowd has people who know different things and have different ways of thinking. Without a diverse crowd, predictions can go badly.
8. Why is the example of Francis Galton mentioned in the passage
A. To explain why crowds can’t make an accurate prediction.
B. To state Francis Galton happened to collect many lucky guesses.
C. To show how to predict an ox’s weight.
D. To prove crowds can make a better prediction.
9. How did the reporters prove the advantage of prediction made by crowds over experts
A. By conducting a series of research. B. By explaining the theories involved.
C. By making comparisons. D. By doing experiments.
10. Who may give a better prediction according to the passage
A. An expert who has a different way of thinking from others.
B. A crowd of people with different backgrounds and knowledge.
C. A single expert who is knowledgeable.
D. A crowd of experts who have the same way of thinking.
11. What can we learn from this passage
A. Two heads are better than one.
B. You never know what you can do till you try.
C. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
D. Seek the truth from facts.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了群体相对于单个的专家可以做出更好更准确的预测。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Under the right conditions, crowds can make better predictions than the individuals in them-a crowd can even beat a single expert. (在适当的条件下，群体可以比他们中的个人做出更好的预测——群体甚至可以击败一位专家)”和第三段“More than a hundred years ago, the scientist Francis Galton visited an English country Faithere, he came across a contest to guess the weight of an ox. Interested in mathematics, Galton gathered 800 guesses and dealt with the numbers. To his surprise, Galton found that the crowd’s guess (the average) was just 1 pound different from the ox’s real weight. (一百多年前，科学家弗朗西斯·高尔顿访问了英国的一个国家，在那里他遇到了一场猜测牛的重量的比赛。高尔顿对数学感兴趣，收集了800个猜测并处理了这些数字。令他惊讶的是，高尔顿发现人们的猜测(平均值)与牛的实际体重仅相差1磅)”可知，文章中提到了弗朗西斯·高尔顿的例子，以证明人群可以做出更好的预测。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段“When Goldstein and Kestenbaum calculated the guesses only from the experts, the result wasn’t any better. In fact, it was even worse:83 pounds off for the experts compared to 68 pounds for the whole crowd.(当戈尔茨坦和凯斯滕鲍姆计算专家的猜测时，结果也好不到哪里去。事实上，情况更糟：专家们减轻了83磅，而整个人群减轻了68磅)”可知，记者们通过比较来证明群体预测相对于专家预测的优势。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第七段“Lots of people with different bits of information and ideas can make crowds collectively smart. A crowd will always make a prediction at least as good as the typical person in it. Often a crowd will do better. If people in a crowd have reasonably good information, they can make excellent predictions. Some businesses, financial markets, and Internet searches rely on this phenomenon. (许多拥有不同信息和想法的人可以让人群变得聪明起来。一群人总是会做出至少和其中典型的人一样好的预测。通常一群人会做得更好。如果人群中的人掌握了相当好的信息，他们就能做出出色的预测。一些企业、金融市场和互联网搜索都依赖于这一现象)”可知，一群具有不同背景和知识的人可能会给出更好的预测。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文及根据文章第二段“Try a crowd. Under the right conditions, crowds can make better predictions than the individuals in them-a crowd can even beat a single expert. (尝试一下人群。在适当的条件下，群体可以比他们中的个人做出更好的预测——群体甚至可以击败一位专家)”可知，这篇文章主要讲的是人多智广(三个臭皮匠胜过一个诸葛亮)。故选A项。

Although-London’s red telephone boxes may not get as much use these days, they are one of the city’s most recognizable features-but some could soon have a new purpose.
Recently, a developer wants to turn two run-down telephone boxes on Coventry Street in London’s West End into vending machines(自动售货机) that will operate 24/7. These telephone boxes will be filled with snacks for sale.
Application for this interesting redevelopment has been submitted by Nuriyeh Popalzi as part of the Young Entrepreneur Support Scheme (VESS), with plans currently in the consulting stage. If successful, this would mean the boxes on Coventry Street, which have sadly been subject to disrepair, get a fresh red lick(一点) of paint and have their doors removed to create the machines.
In her application, Nuriyeh Popalzi said, “Both telephone boxes are out of service and kept in poor condition of maintenance, creating an unpleasant site in one of the most historic and touristic parts of London, “she added. “These red telephone boxes are considered a key part of London not only for the Londoners but also for the tourists from all over the world. For decades, these red telephone boxes have been a symbol of London and in fact a symbol for the whole of Great Britain. ”
Popalzi believes the transformed boxes will have a positive effect on the community, much like other telephone boxes that have been turned into libraries. All profits made by the machines will go to charity, meaning happiness can be spread in multiple ways.
Before long some Londoners’ next afternoon pick-me-up could come from one of London’s iconic red boxes. However, there should be a speed dial(快速拨号) option-we know Londoners are always in a rush, after all.
12. What may be the future use of the two red telephone boxes
A. To sell snacks. B. To raise money.
C. To store snacks. D. To serve as libraries.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The two telephone boxes will be taken down soon.
B. The two telephone boxes’ color will be changed.
C. Popalzi’s idea has drawn many Londoners’ attention.
D. Popalzi’s idea hasn’t been put into effect currently.
14. How will the two transformed boxes have a positive effect
A. They will offer a great discount. B. They will make a difference to charity.
C. They will provide the delivery service. D. They will help attract more tourists.
15. Where does the text probably come from
A. A book review. B. A science report.
C. A newspaper. D. A travel brochure.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了最近，一家开发商想把伦敦西区考文垂街的两个破旧电话亭改造成全天候运营自动售货机的设想。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Recently, a developer wants to turn two run-down telephone boxes on Coventry Street in London’s West End into vending machines(自动售货机) that will operate 24/7. These telephone boxes will be filled with snacks for sale. (最近，一家开发商想把伦敦西区考文垂街的两个破旧电话亭改造成全天候运营的自动售货机。这些电话亭里将装满待售的小吃。)”可知，这两个红色电话亭将来可能用来卖零食。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Application for this interesting redevelopment has been submitted by Nuriyeh Popalzi as part of the Young Entrepreneur Support Scheme (VESS), with plans currently in the consulting stage. (作为青年企业家支持计划(VESS)的一部分，Nuriyeh Popalzi提交了这个有趣的重建申请，目前计划处于咨询阶段。)”可知，Popalzi的想法目前还没有付诸实施。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Popalzi believes the transformed boxes will have a positive effect on the community, much like other telephone boxes that have been turned into libraries. All profits made by the machines will go to charity, meaning happiness can be spread in multiple ways. (Popalzi认为，改造后的电话亭将对社区产生积极影响，就像其他电话亭被改造成图书馆一样。这些售货机的所有利润都将用于慈善事业，这意味着幸福可以通过多种方式传播。)”可知，这两个改造后的亭子将为慈善事业做出贡献。故选B项。
15题详解】

That afternoon, Mr, Johnson, the school band director, stood up to make an announcement. “Kids.” he said, “today Janet Jacobs would like to challenge Amanda Foster for first chair.”Amanda wasn’t worried; Janet had challenged her four times and nothing had come of it. However, Amanda hit the note wrong, and her sound was not good at all. Janet, on the other hand, played perfectly. Amanda was shameful. It was one of the band pieces she should have known. Janet was given first chair and Amanda left the band room with tears. She went through the rest of her classes in a haze.
“We’re leaving for the audition in one hour!” said Mr. Foster the next morning. “I don’t feel well. Maybe next year, ”said Amanda. Then she burst into tears and ran from the room.
Her mom followed her into her bedroom and sat on the foot of her bed. “Oh. Amanda. First of all, I’ve heard you play your song, and you’re not going to shame yourself. Bravery isn’t about not being scared — it means doing something despite the fact that you’re afraid. And if you go out there and do your best, we’ll be proud of you, no matter what the outcome.” Amanda’s mom smiled. “So what do you say Do we have an audition to go to ”

If you can’t trust an expert to make a good prediction, who can you trust
Try a crowd. Under the right conditions, crowds can make better predictions than the individuals in them-a crowd can even beat a single expert.
More than a hundred years ago, the scientist Francis Galton visited an English country Faithere, he came across a contest to guess the weight of an ox. Interested in mathematics, Galton gathered 800 guesses and dealt with the numbers. To his surprise, Galton found that the crowd’s guess (the average) was just 1 pound different from the ox’s real weight. Did Galton happen to collect a lot lucky guesses
David Kestenbaumand Jacob Goldstein, a pair of reporters, wanted to find out. One steamy summer day in 2015, they visited the “Burlington County Farm Fair” in New Jersey. There, Penelope, a black and white cow, shining with good health, greeted them. She was as tall as Goldstein’s shoulder. The reporters led the cow onto a large, flat truck scale (秤). A curious crowd had gathered, but Kestenbaum and Goldstein carefully guarded the scale’s digital display (数字显示), It flashed 1, 355 pounds.
Later, far from the sweet smell of warm hay, the reporters uploaded a photo of Penelope to the Planet Money website. They invited people to guess her weight, and more than 17, 000 people did. The crowd’s guess was 1, 287 pounds. That was just 5 percent less than Penelope’s true weight. Impressive!
Among the crowd, some called themselves cow experts, while others probably couldn’t tell a cot from an ox. When Goldstein and Kestenbaum calculated the guesses only from the experts, the result wasn’t any better. In fact, it was even worse:83 pounds off for the experts compared to 68 pounds for the whole crowd.
Crowds aren’t just lucky. Lots of people with different bits of information and ideas can make crowds collectively smart. A crowd will always make a prediction at least as good as the typical person in it. Often a crowd will do better. If people in a crowd have reasonably good information, they can make excellent predictions. Some businesses, financial markets, and Internet searches rely on this phenomenon (现象).
If you want to predict who’s going to win the big game on Saturday or when school buses will fly, ask a crowd of reasonably knowledgeable people instead of a single expert. Just make sure the crowd has people who know different things and have different ways of thinking. Without a diverse crowd, predictions can go badly.

Although-London’s red telephone boxes may not get as much use these days, they are one of the city’s most recognizable features-but some could soon have a new purpose.
Recently, a developer wants to turn two run-down telephone boxes on Coventry Street in London’s West End into vending machines(自动售货机) that will operate 24/7. These telephone boxes will be filled with snacks for sale.
Application for this interesting redevelopment has been submitted by Nuriyeh Popalzi as part of the Young Entrepreneur Support Scheme (VESS), with plans currently in the consulting stage. If successful, this would mean the boxes on Coventry Street, which have sadly been subject to disrepair, get a fresh red lick(一点) of paint and have their doors removed to create the machines.
In her application, Nuriyeh Popalzi said, “Both telephone boxes are out of service and kept in poor condition of maintenance, creating an unpleasant site in one of the most historic and touristic parts of London, “she added. “These red telephone boxes are considered a key part of London not only for the Londoners but also for the tourists from all over the world. For decades, these red telephone boxes have been a symbol of London and in fact a symbol for the whole of Great Britain. ”
Popalzi believes the transformed boxes will have a positive effect on the community, much like other telephone boxes that have been turned into libraries. All profits made by the machines will go to charity, meaning happiness can be spread in multiple ways.
Before long some Londoners’ next afternoon pick-me-up could come from one of London’s iconic red boxes. However, there should be a speed dial(快速拨号) option-we know Londoners are always in a rush, after all.
12. What may be the future use of the two red telephone boxes
A. To sell snacks. B. To raise money.
C. To store snacks. D. To serve as libraries.
13. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The two telephone boxes will be taken down soon.
B. The two telephone boxes’ color will be changed.
C. Popalzi’s idea has drawn many Londoners’ attention.
D. Popalzi’s idea hasn’t been put into effect currently.
14. How will the two transformed boxes have a positive effect
A. They will offer a great discount. B. They will make a difference to charity.
C. They will provide the delivery service. D. They will help attract more tourists.
15. Where does the text probably come from
A. A book review. B. A science report.
C. A newspaper. D. A travel brochure.

Amanda had been trying for Auditions (试演) for All-State Band. Then, the day before the audition. she met into Janet Jacobs. “So, Amanda, I hear you are auditioning for All-State.

That afternoon, Mr, Johnson, the school band director, stood up to make an announcement. “Kids.” he said, “today Janet Jacobs would like to challenge Amanda Foster for first chair.”Amanda wasn’t worried; Janet had challenged her four times and nothing had come of it. However, Amanda hit the note wrong, and her sound was not good at all. Janet, on the other hand, played perfectly. Amanda was shameful. It was one of the band pieces she should have known. Janet was given first chair and Amanda left the band room with tears. She went through the rest of her classes in a haze.
“We’re leaving for the audition in one hour!” said Mr. Foster the next morning. “I don’t feel well. Maybe next year, ”said Amanda. Then she burst into tears and ran from the room.
Her mom followed her into her bedroom and sat on the foot of her bed. “Oh. Amanda. First of all, I’ve heard you play your song, and you’re not going to shame yourself. Bravery isn’t about not being scared — it means doing something despite the fact that you’re afraid. And if you go out there and do your best, we’ll be proud of you, no matter what the outcome.” Amanda’s mom smiled. “So what do you say Do we have an audition to go to ”
