第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分)
阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Most people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic”—that means it learns all by itself. But this isn't always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learners——to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. I suggest doing four things to take an active role, in your learning.
Listen to the outer voice
There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker/writer is saying, not on what their brain is saying in the background. In this way, they are in a better position to make decisions.
Ask questions
Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask two, three, even five questions about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being curious.
Get to the truth
Active learners do not accept everything they learn. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today, think about why they believe this. Where does the idea come from Do they have enough data to support their views If you try to find out the source of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you will increase your chance of learning something.
Focus on the message
Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way. They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who the speaker/ writer is. It is true that we cannot help disliking some people —this is human nature, after all. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Active learners do not judge people based on first impressions or personal feelings. Instead, they separate the message from the messenger. This goes the other way as well---do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.
51. Which of the following is TRUE about inner voice and outer voice
A. Your inner voice is useless, and always gets in the way of learning.
B. Your inner voice is what you think.
C. The outer voice usually is what your brain is saying
D. The outer voice expresses your personal opinions.
52. According to Paragraph 3, what do you know about asking questions
A. Asking questions will lead you to further learning.
B. Asking questions won't make you more motivated to learn
C. Asking questions facilitates active learning.
D. Asking questions will stop you from being curious
53. According to Paragraph 4, an active learner .
A. won't find out the source of an idea
B. is willing to accept everything they learn
C. believes that dinosaurs still exist today
D. always tries to find the truth at the core of every opinion
54. What do we learn about from Paragraph 5
A. We should try our best to like people we don't like.
B. We often ignore what the author says.
C. Active learners judge people based on personal feelings.
D. The person we like may not always be right.
55. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage
A. To offer some tips on how to learn actively. B. To advise us to listen to the outer voice.
C. To help us get to the truth. D. To share his learning experience.
B
When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convinced my parents to take me for an audition(试演). I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of modeling agencies with the highest reputation from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.
I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!
Of course, I wasn't signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9”(about 1.75metres)I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging.
The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn't receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too shof1. I was extremely disappointed and sad.
Years later I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.
56. What's the main reason why the author wanted to be a model
A. She won a national contest.
B. She wanted to get reputation and wealth.
C. She was urged by some modeling agencies.
D. She had full potential to be a successful model.
57. What's the author's parents' attitude toward her dream
A. Encouraging. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Enthusiastic.
58. What was that made the author end her attempt to become a model
A. Her parents were strongly against it.
B. She realized that it was impossible for her.
C. Even a local modeling agency turned her down.
D. She realized that she didn't actually love the idea of modeling.
59. The underlined phrase “The final straw” probably means .
A. the final audition given by the agency
B. the final result that she was admitted by the model company
C. the. last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset, angry, etc.
D. the decision that she made at last not to be a model anymore
50. What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model
A. Where there's a will there's away.
B. Being a model is not that easy.
C. We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others.
D. We might set unpractical goals but the experiences can help us grow.
C
Wild animals are equipped with a variety of techniques to avoid becoming lunch for a bigger animal, also known as a predator(捕食者) in nature. The most well-known methods include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team of researchers wondered whether closeness to people might impact those survival strategies. “We often see that animals are more tolerant around us in urban areas, but we don't really know why.” says evolutionary biologist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear of us and that leads to tolerance 'Or can there be an evolutionary factor involved ”
To find out, Blumstein and his colleagues combined information from 173 studies of over100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mollusks. It turns out that regardless of evolutionary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way to life among humans: they lose their anti-predator characteristics. That pattern is especially
pronounced for plant-eating animals and for social species. This behavioral change is perhaps unsurprising when it's intentional, the result of domestication or controlled breeding. But it turns out that urbanization alone results in a similar change, though around three times more slowly.
The main point is: we're essentially domesticating animals by urbanization. We're selecting for the same sorts of characteristics that we would if we were actually trying to domesticate them. If the urbanization process helps animals better co-exist with people, it could be to their benefit. But if it makes them more defenseless to their nonhuman predators, it-could be a real problem. Either way, these results mean that city living has enough of an influence on wild animals that evolutionary processes kick in. Those reductions in anti-predator characteristics become encoded in their genes. We're changing the population genetics one way or another.
What the researchers now wonder is whether the me re presence of tourists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If so, serious questions exist for the idea of ethical, welfare-oriented eco-tourism. If we wish to help animals keep their anti-predator defenses, the researchers say, we might have to intentionally expose animals to predators. It's just yet one other way that we're changing the world around us.
1. The research led by Blumstein is aimed at .
A. determining how animals' survival is impacted by individual plasticity.
B. studying how living among humans affects animals' survival strategies
C. comparing the effectiveness of different survival techniques
D. finding out which evolutionary factor impacts animals' survival methods
62. Which of the following practices may contribute to animals losing anti-predator characteristics
A. Controlled breeding of animals.
B. Banning the operation of eco-tourism.
C. Planned selection of favorable genes
D. Eliminating domestication.
63. Which of the following statements is Blumstein likely to agree with
A. Urbanization has made wild animals more alert.
B. Urbanization has brought concrete benefits to animals.
C. City living has led to animals' genetic variations.
D. City living has helped to preserve animal species.
64. The animal rescue center spotted an injured fox a year ago and has since nursed it back to health.
Before releasing it back to the wild, the center should probably .
A. expose the fox to the urban environment repeatedly
B. train the fox to co-exist with the less aggressive predators
C. intentionally get the fox accustomed to the presence of humans
D. purposefully adapt the fox to predator related environment
65. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To amuse people with recent interesting scientific findings.
B. To remind people to help animals survive in a correct way. to
C. To promote eco-tourism in cities around the world.
D. To warn people of the danger of animal presence in cities.
D
When evaluating people on various psychological tests, psychologists often distinguish between markers of absolute performance and relative performance. Absolute performance reflects the raw measurement of something, like the time it takes to run a mile. Relative performance is how a person rates in relation to their peers, as in what place a runner gets in a race.
The standards we use to evaluate ourselves are almost always relative, as we compare ourselves to our peers and the standards that are most familiar to us.
For instance, in my private practice, I have one patient I will call “Omar” who is dependent on social services and makes less than $30,000 per year at his job. While this level of poverty would lead most people to wake up depressed each day, Omar is one of the most optimistic and appreciative individuals I know. Why Because most of his closest peers—his siblings and friends from childhood—have lives far worse than his.
In contrast to Omar, I have another patient, an adolescent I'll call “Lena”, whose family has property over $5 million. Lena, however, lives in an upper-class neighborhood where her family is at the lower end of the income level. Though Lena’s family allows her to enjoy possessions and experiences that less than l percent of her peers across the world can share, she consistently feels “less than”. Why Because Lena doesn't compare herself to the rest of the world; This is too abstract an exercise for her, as it would be for most of us.
Accordingly, whether a psychologist is psychodynamic or cognitive-behavioral, therapy with individuals struggling with situation al or psychological depression aims to solve the problems associated with basing one's self-worth on comparisons with others. Psychologists try to help people focus on personal growth around the achievement of concrete goals in line with their values independent of the achievement of others. For all of us, defining these goals, especially during Periods of emotional calm, can go a long way in helping us to avoid the trap of relativity that often leads to situational and psychological depression.
66、In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to .
A. show the significance of evaluating people.
B. motivate readers to study psychological tests.
C. help people perform well in psychological tests
D. provide some background information on evaluating people.
67. Why does the author mention his two patients
A. To measure different achievement.
B. To introduce the standards to evaluate people.
C. To explain relative performance with examples.
D. To contrast relative performance and absolute performance.
68. Which of the following statements is true according to Para.3 and Para.4
A. “Omar” is independent on social services.
B. “Omar” 's siblings lead better lives than he does.
C. “Lena” is always discontented with what she has.
D. “Lena” tends to compare herself to the rest of the world.
69. What message does the last paragraph convey
A. Setting goals in life is essential for everyone.
B. It's important to avoid unhealthy comparisons.
C. A sense of achievement can affect one's happiness.
D. Improving self-worth can help get rid of depression.
70. What is the best title for the text
A. Happiness: Is it all relative
B. Happiness: Is it associated with achievement
C. Self-worth: Is it based on efforts
D. Self-worth: Is it measurable

“Someone once asked me, ‘What’s the tool you would want to give any student’ And I said, ‘A mask and snorkel (潜水通气管) set,’” the ocean biologist Thys says in a video. And Thys -explains, “Ninety-eight percent of the living space on this planet is the ocean. It's worth a view.”
Thys has devoted her career to seeing the ocean, and to helping others watch the great diversity of the underwater world. A big part of what motivates her work is the chance to let people develop a sense of respect for the grandness of the ocean, and to get people to participate in efforts to protect endangered ocean ecosystems.
Since studying ocean biology, Thys has focused her research on how sea animals live. One animal she particularly studies is the ocean sunfish. “It's so different from any other fish,” says Thys. “It looks like a mistake. Where does the tail go ” Thys adds. “The sunfish provides an entry point to understanding more about the behavior of creatures in the ocean, and about how environmental changes impact underwater ecosystems.”
Thys's work also takes her above ground, where she's looking at ways to create new connections between human populations and natural environments to help address social and environmental challenges. For instance, she's working on nature's effects on mental well-being.
Thys's passion for her work is evident in every lecture, video, and public appearance she makes. Using the media, Thys encourages people to learn about the ocean and love it. Due to many ocean research projects and activities from the media, Thys is up to her neck in work every day. She could hardly spare plenty of time for a good rest. Thys's devotion to her work as an ocean scientist and ecological warrior is infectious. She's a role model and an inspiring guide to ocean life.
71. Why would Thys like to send students a mask and snorkel set (no more than 8 words)
72. What greatly motivates Thys's work according to Paragraph 2 (no more than 10 words)
73. What does Thys think of the ocean sunfish (no more than 10 words)
74. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean (no more than 5 words)
75. What's your attitude towards Thys and her work (no more than 20 words)
