三、阅读理解（本大题共 20. 小题，共 30 分）第一节
A
If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard
What is a Hoverboard
A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device. It’s electrical, portable and became highly popular in 2015. Typically, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard.
How Does a Hoverboard Work
The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself isn’t complicated. Basically, a standard hoverboard contains:
Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.
Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt (倾斜) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction.
Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.
Logic board: functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.
All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a controlled speed.
Why Buy a Hoverboard
Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve probably seen kids riding one around the house. They’re a phenomenon and everybody wants in. So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend
Where is a hoverboard legal
Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits on the
devices and restricted their use to bike paths. However, open areas—including your yard—are free of these restrictions.
The logic board of a hoverboard can .
store electricity B. power the wheels
C. send information to the riders D. receive data and give command
According to the passage, you can see a hoverboard can be used .
on campus B. in parks
C. on bike paths D. in shopping malls
What is the main purpose of this passage
To evaluate a gift’s quality.
To suggest a gift option.
To compare new hoverboard models.
To explain functions of the latest hoverboards.
B
Open water swimming
I had only swum in open water a few times, and always in gentle lakes, so I wasn’t prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.
Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners — which is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.
I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through a preparation area, a children’s paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone’s thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake.
We’d been warned that the first 100 meters would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn’t work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.
Finally, I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there — still one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn’t matter — the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I’m attracted and want to give it another go. I’ve already signed up for my next open-water swim.
How did the author feel before the race
Scared of the most challenging race.
Disappointed by the difficult conditions.
Determined to be as tough as the people around her.
Concerned about the other swimmers in the race.
Why does the author mention the two people in Paragraph 2
To stress the importance of the race.
To praise the experienced swimmers.
To introduce the various events of the race.
To show the wide range of the participants.
The author suggests in Paragraph 4 that .
the race would cause breathing problems
the race became harder than she had expected
it would have been easier if she had taken others’ advice
it was really necessary to prepare for tough swims
What does the author talk about in the last paragraph
Her confidence in her own ability.
Her pride in having swum so quickly.
Her surprise at having managed to finish.
Her eagerness to repeat the experience.
C
A crucial period for learning the rules and structure of a language lasts up to around age 17 or 18, say psychologist Joshua Hartshorne of MIT and his colleagues.
Previous research had suggested that grammar-learning ability developed in early childhood before hitting a dead end around age 5. However, Hartshorne’s team reports online in Cognition that people who started learning English as a second language in an English-speaking country by age 10 to 12 ultimately mastered the new tongue
as well as folks who had learned English and another language at the same time from birth. Both groups, however, fell somewhat short of the grammatical fluency displayed by English-only speakers. After ages 10 to 12, new-to- English learners reached lower levels of fluency than those who started learning English at younger ages because time ran out when their grammar-absorbing ability fell starting around age 17.
Aiming for a sample of tens of thousands of volunteers, Hartshorne began by contacting friends on Facebook to take an online English grammar quiz, which used a person’s responses to guess his or her native language and dialect (方言) of English. Then volunteers filled out a questionnaire asking where they had lived, languages they had spoken from birth, the age at which they began learning English and the number of years they had lived in an
English-speaking country.
In the end, the researchers analyzed responses of 669,498 native and nonnative English speakers. Statistical calculations focused on estimating at what ages people with varying amounts of experience peaking English reached peak grammar ability.
Researchers who study language learning regard the new study as fascinating, but exploratory. According to psycholinguist David Barner of the University of California, San Diego, Hartshorne’s team can’t yet say that language skill develops along a single timeline. Different elements of grammar, such as using correct word order or subjects and verbs that agree with one another, might be learned at different rates, Barner says. It’s also unclear whether the responses of volunteers to an online, 132-item grammar test reflect how well of poorly they actually speak English, he says.
What’s more, language learning involves more than a crucial period for acquiring grammar, cautions linguist David Birdsong of the University of Texas at Austin. For instance, growing up speaking two languages at once puts still poorly understood burdens on the ability to grasp grammar, he says.
In the new study, people who were bilinguals from birth fell short of peak English grammar scores achieved by English-only speakers. That’s consistent with evidence that bilinguals cannot easily turn off one language while speaking another, Birdsong says. Interactions between tongues spoken by one person may slightly depress how much can be learned about both languages, even if bilingual communication still reaches high levels, he suggests.
Hartshorne and his colleagues found that .
one reaches a higher level of fluency at age 10
one learns a second language fastest at about age 12
one gets a good grasp of English grammar before age 5
one’s ability to master grammar declines at around age17
Hartshorne collected data through .
social media
experiments in the lab
literature review
face-to-face interviews
David Barner believes that .
language skill develops along a single timeline
online volunteers do not cover a wide enough range
different grammar items may be acquired at different paces
the quiz in the new study does not include enough questions
What can we know about bilinguals from the last two paragraphs
They can achieve a perfect grammar score.
Grammar learning is the biggest burden for them.
They are able to make a swift shift between languages.
Speaking two languages affects their language acquisition.
D
Don’t put it off, do it now!
Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else.
“We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have, and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples who don’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.
Of course, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling up around us daily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciate long-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-year degree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the
limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system.
Let’s take the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes
it more likely a task will be completed. The benefit is that you’ll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you to do — telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so.
Overcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not careful, becomes
procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful people don’t pretend
they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus on moving forward.
What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1
It is caused by the technology in people’s life.
It is more common when people have small jobs to do.
It is something many people can’t avoid.
It is an excuse people often use in public.
In paragraph 3, Dr. Steel believes that people who procrastinate should .
be aware that their problem is relatively small
find out more about the way they make decisions
attempt to overcome their natural tendencies
take the advice of others in the same situation
Why does Dr. Steel recommend making “pre-commitments” in Paragraph 4
They are an effective way of impressing others.
They allow people to achieve their aims sooner.
They are an alternative to impossible goals.
They make challenges feel more manageable.
The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph intends to .
Warn the reader against spending too long getting organized.
Remind the reader to take the time to focus properly on a task.
Encourage the reader to develop plans effectively.
Advise the reader to deal with complex tasks quickly.

Your Musical Preference Gives Insights into How You Think
A study out of Cambridge found that your musical preferences can give insights into how you think. The study focused on a particular theory of personality known as the Empathizing-Systemizing (E-S) Theory. 26 An
empathizer likes to focus on and respond to the emotions of others, while a systemizer likes to analyze rules and patterns in the world. Cognitive style may seem like an unusual way to group people, but the researchers found that it worked well.
“Although people’s music choices change over time, we’ve discovered a person’s empathy level and thinking style predict what kind of music they like,” said PhD student David Greenberg, the leader of the study, in a statement. 27
To study a somewhat unusual subject, they took a somewhat unique route: They gathered data through Facebook. Over 4,000 people participated through the myPersonality app by first taking a personality assessment. Later, they listened to and rated 50 musical pieces.
For those who scored high on empathy, they tended to prefer soft rock, R&B country, and folk. 28
Further, they tended to enjoy music that had low energy, negative emotions, or emotional depth. From these characteristics, the researchers identified several songs that would be ideal for empathizers: “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley, “Come away with me” by Norah Jones, and “All of me” by Billie Holiday.
29 They favored intense music and disliked the soft and simple styles. Their music tended towards
high energy, or positive emotions, and also featured a high degree of depth and complexity. From this, the researchers believed that “Concerto in C” by Antonio Vivaldi, “Etude Opus 65 No. 3” by Alexander Scriabin, and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica would be ideal songs for systemizers.
30 “A lot of money is put into algorithms (运算法则) to choose what music you may want to listen
to, for example, on Spotify and Apple Music,” said Greenberg. “By knowing an individual’s thinking style, such services might in future be able to fine tune their music recommendations to an individual.”
But they disliked more intense music like punk and heavy metal.
These findings could prove useful, especially for the music industry.
Meanwhile, those who scored high on systemizing were exactly opposite.
Based on the findings, researchers recommend particular styles for different people.
It divides people into groups according to whether they tend to empathize or systemize.
He argued that musical preferences reflect clear characteristics such as age and personality.
He argued people’s cognitive style can be a better predictor of what music they like than their personality.

The Power of Determination
Your quest for success and happiness begins with right intentions. It culminates (达到顶点) when you reach your chosen goals. What sustains your effort in between is your determination. What carries you towards your goals is your determination. It means the firmness of purpose or intention.
If there is one gift that you can give to yourself in your life to be what you want to be it is the power of
determination. Without it you are a mere passive spectator in the drama of your life. If there is one quality that makes a difference between a winner and a loser or a leader and a follower, it is the power of determination. Without it, you may dream wild dreams, but you will not accomplish much in life. If you have determination, nothing can stop you
and deter you from following your course of action to achieve your goals or realize your dreams.
Obstacles may arise and obstruct your progress. They may delay your success, disturb you temporarily, and may even mislead you, but they cannot withstand the power of determination. It is the power that you generate within yourself to remain committed to your path and beliefs, and march towards your cherished goals. Before you take up any project or goal, you should know whether you have the determination to stick to your plans and reach your goals. Your determination has to arise from within and obtain its reinforcement from your thinking and beliefs rather than circumstances. Only then will you be able to sustain your effort, even when the going gets tough. Determination is your inner strength. Like the hardwood inside a tree, it gives you the power to stand tall and face the strong winds.
With determination, you can remove the mountains of fear and doubts in you. You can find your way through the most difficult situations. Determination does not mean you will be insensitive to the reality of the situation. A determined person is also an adaptable and flexible person. He is not interested in being tough for toughness sake, but to overcome obstacles and reach his goals. Hence, he remains open-minded about possibilities and opportunities, but firm in his commitment and convictions. Self-control and determination go together. If you have them, you become unstoppable.
According to the passage, what is determination
What will happen if one does not have determination
Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
With determination, you can remove the mountains of fear and doubts in you, and you will not make changes.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I’m very happy to hear that you are learning Chinese. And I really understand that you are finding Chinese quite challenging to learn. It’s okay for beginners to meet some troubles. Here are some advice I’d like to give you.
First, I suggest you focus on mastering the basics, such as pinyin and commonly used phrases. This will help you build a strong foundation for further learning. Another suggestion is to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Watch Chinese movies or TV shows, listen to Chinese music, and try to communicate with native speakers. This will not only improve your listening and speaking skills but also give you a better understanding of Chinese culture.
Remember, learning a new language takes time and effort. I wish you all the best in your Chinese learning journey.
Yours, Li Hua

If you’re looking to buy a gift for your children, why not keep up with the trend and get the best hoverboard
What is a Hoverboard
A hoverboard is a two-wheeled personal transportation device. It’s electrical, portable and became highly popular in 2015. Typically, this self-balancing device operates like a powered skateboard.
How Does a Hoverboard Work
The device may have many designs, but the mechanism itself isn’t complicated. Basically, a standard hoverboard contains:
Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.
Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows riders to tilt (倾斜) the hoverboard while maintaining balance and adjusting their direction.
Motor (one in each wheel): provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider balanced and upright.
Logic board: functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends information to the motors. This unit controls the power of the board so riders can adjust their speed.
All the above components work together to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards so the rider is balanced, upright and moving at a controlled speed.
Why Buy a Hoverboard
Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve probably seen kids riding one around the house. They’re a phenomenon and everybody wants in. So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being part of this trend
Where is a hoverboard legal
Despite their wild popularity, hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”. Currently, some places prohibit anyone under 16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are banned in academic institutions and public places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping malls and subway stations. Some places have also put speed limits on the
devices and restricted their use to bike paths. However, open areas—including your yard—are free of these restrictions.
The logic board of a hoverboard can .
store electricity B. power the wheels
C. send information to the riders D. receive data and give command
According to the passage, you can see a hoverboard can be used .
on campus B. in parks
C. on bike paths D. in shopping malls
What is the main purpose of this passage
To evaluate a gift’s quality.
To suggest a gift option.
To compare new hoverboard models.
To explain functions of the latest hoverboards.
B
Open water swimming
I had only swum in open water a few times, and always in gentle lakes, so I wasn’t prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.
Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners — which is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.
I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through a preparation area, a children’s paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone’s thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake.
We’d been warned that the first 100 meters would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn’t work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.
Finally, I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there — still one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn’t matter — the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I’m attracted and want to give it another go. I’ve already signed up for my next open-water swim.
How did the author feel before the race
Scared of the most challenging race.
Disappointed by the difficult conditions.
Determined to be as tough as the people around her.
Concerned about the other swimmers in the race.
Why does the author mention the two people in Paragraph 2
To stress the importance of the race.
To praise the experienced swimmers.
To introduce the various events of the race.
To show the wide range of the participants.
The author suggests in Paragraph 4 that .
the race would cause breathing problems
the race became harder than she had expected
it would have been easier if she had taken others’ advice
it was really necessary to prepare for tough swims
What does the author talk about in the last paragraph
Her confidence in her own ability.
Her pride in having swum so quickly.
Her surprise at having managed to finish.
Her eagerness to repeat the experience.

A crucial period for learning the rules and structure of a language lasts up to around age 17 or 18, say psychologist Joshua Hartshorne of MIT and his colleagues.
Previous research had suggested that grammar-learning ability developed in early childhood before hitting a dead end around age 5. However, Hartshorne’s team reports online in Cognition that people who started learning English as a second language in an English-speaking country by age 10 to 12 ultimately mastered the new tongue
as well as folks who had learned English and another language at the same time from birth. Both groups, however, fell somewhat short of the grammatical fluency displayed by English-only speakers. After ages 10 to 12, new-to- English learners reached lower levels of fluency than those who started learning English at younger ages because time ran out when their grammar-absorbing ability fell starting around age 17.
Aiming for a sample of tens of thousands of volunteers, Hartshorne began by contacting friends on Facebook to take an online English grammar quiz, which used a person’s responses to guess his or her native language and dialect (方言) of English. Then volunteers filled out a questionnaire asking where they had lived, languages they had spoken from birth, the age at which they began learning English and the number of years they had lived in an
English-speaking country.
In the end, the researchers analyzed responses of 669,498 native and nonnative English speakers. Statistical calculations focused on estimating at what ages people with varying amounts of experience peaking English reached peak grammar ability.
Researchers who study language learning regard the new study as fascinating, but exploratory. According to psycholinguist David Barner of the University of California, San Diego, Hartshorne’s team can’t yet say that language skill develops along a single timeline. Different elements of grammar, such as using correct word order or subjects and verbs that agree with one another, might be learned at different rates, Barner says. It’s also unclear whether the responses of volunteers to an online, 132-item grammar test reflect how well of poorly they actually speak English, he says.
What’s more, language learning involves more than a crucial period for acquiring grammar, cautions linguist David Birdsong of the University of Texas at Austin. For instance, growing up speaking two languages at once puts still poorly understood burdens on the ability to grasp grammar, he says.
In the new study, people who were bilinguals from birth fell short of peak English grammar scores achieved by English-only speakers. That’s consistent with evidence that bilinguals cannot easily turn off one language while speaking another, Birdsong says. Interactions between tongues spoken by one person may slightly depress how much can be learned about both languages, even if bilingual communication still reaches high levels, he suggests.
Hartshorne and his colleagues found that .
one reaches a higher level of fluency at age 10
one learns a second language fastest at about age 12
one gets a good grasp of English grammar before age 5
one’s ability to master grammar declines at around age17
Hartshorne collected data through .
social media
experiments in the lab
literature review
face-to-face interviews
David Barner believes that .
language skill develops along a single timeline
online volunteers do not cover a wide enough range
different grammar items may be acquired at different paces
the quiz in the new study does not include enough questions
What can we know about bilinguals from the last two paragraphs
They can achieve a perfect grammar score.
Grammar learning is the biggest burden for them.
They are able to make a swift shift between languages.
Speaking two languages affects their language acquisition.

Don’t put it off, do it now!
Why do we spend so much time not doing the work we should do, or putting off small jobs that have piled up to create a big problem Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until it’s too late to do anything else.
“We often put things off although we know it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, we’d just do them now. We put off what is difficult or unpleasant, such as the paperwork that needs doing before leaving the office or cleaning the bits of your home that people can’t see. But the fact is, the less people procrastinate, the more money they have, the better relationships they have, and the healthier they are.” This is obvious when you look at the couples who don’t argue about whether anyone has cleaned the kitchen, and the people who simply go for a run instead of endlessly rescheduling it in their heads.
Of course, there are the rest of us, who feel the small jobs piling up around us daily. “We’ve evolved to respond to the moment, and not to set our sights too far in an uncertain world,” Dr. Steel adds. “We are not set up to appreciate long-term rewards, whether it’s the benefit of a four-year degree, doing exercise or dieting. We usually feel the cost now and the reward comes much later.” According to Dr. Steel, we have two decision-making systems. They are the
limbic, which is responsible for the short term, and the prefrontal cortex, which deals with the future. We bounce between long-term goals and short-term temptations, so we need goals that will translate our plans for the limbic system.
Let’s take the example of students’ writing essays. They should set themselves targets and word counts per day. These are thus turned from seemingly endless tasks into something concrete with measured progress. Dr. Steel recommends such techniques or “pre-commitments”, adding that leaving you a month before the “deadline” makes
it more likely a task will be completed. The benefit is that you’ll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something people are expecting you to do — telling everyone you are going to take up jogging makes you more likely to do so.
Overcoming procrastination finally comes down to planning, which, if you’re not careful, becomes
procrastination in itself. But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful people don’t pretend
they don’t procrastinate,” Dr. Steel says. “People who pretend they have willpower are less successful.” Instead, plan for procrastination: make your work environment a temple of productivity by cutting out what stops you paying your attention, so you can really focus on moving forward.
What does the author say about procrastination in Paragraph 1
It is caused by the technology in people’s life.
It is more common when people have small jobs to do.
It is something many people can’t avoid.
It is an excuse people often use in public.
In paragraph 3, Dr. Steel believes that people who procrastinate should .
be aware that their problem is relatively small
find out more about the way they make decisions
attempt to overcome their natural tendencies
take the advice of others in the same situation
Why does Dr. Steel recommend making “pre-commitments” in Paragraph 4
They are an effective way of impressing others.
They allow people to achieve their aims sooner.
They are an alternative to impossible goals.
They make challenges feel more manageable.
The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph intends to .
Warn the reader against spending too long getting organized.
Remind the reader to take the time to focus properly on a task.
Encourage the reader to develop plans effectively.
Advise the reader to deal with complex tasks quickly.

Your Musical Preference Gives Insights into How You Think
A study out of Cambridge found that your musical preferences can give insights into how you think. The study focused on a particular theory of personality known as the Empathizing-Systemizing (E-S) Theory. 26 An
empathizer likes to focus on and respond to the emotions of others, while a systemizer likes to analyze rules and patterns in the world. Cognitive style may seem like an unusual way to group people, but the researchers found that it worked well.
“Although people’s music choices change over time, we’ve discovered a person’s empathy level and thinking style predict what kind of music they like,” said PhD student David Greenberg, the leader of the study, in a statement. 27
To study a somewhat unusual subject, they took a somewhat unique route: They gathered data through Facebook. Over 4,000 people participated through the myPersonality app by first taking a personality assessment. Later, they listened to and rated 50 musical pieces.
For those who scored high on empathy, they tended to prefer soft rock, R&B country, and folk. 28
Further, they tended to enjoy music that had low energy, negative emotions, or emotional depth. From these characteristics, the researchers identified several songs that would be ideal for empathizers: “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley, “Come away with me” by Norah Jones, and “All of me” by Billie Holiday.
29 They favored intense music and disliked the soft and simple styles. Their music tended towards
high energy, or positive emotions, and also featured a high degree of depth and complexity. From this, the researchers believed that “Concerto in C” by Antonio Vivaldi, “Etude Opus 65 No. 3” by Alexander Scriabin, and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica would be ideal songs for systemizers.
30 “A lot of money is put into algorithms (运算法则) to choose what music you may want to listen
to, for example, on Spotify and Apple Music,” said Greenberg. “By knowing an individual’s thinking style, such services might in future be able to fine tune their music recommendations to an individual.”
But they disliked more intense music like punk and heavy metal.
These findings could prove useful, especially for the music industry.
Meanwhile, those who scored high on systemizing were exactly opposite.
Based on the findings, researchers recommend particular styles for different people.
It divides people into groups according to whether they tend to empathize or systemize.
He argued that musical preferences reflect clear characteristics such as age and personality.
He argued people’s cognitive style can be a better predictor of what music they like than their personality.

The Power of Determination
Your quest for success and happiness begins with right intentions. It culminates (达到顶点) when you reach your chosen goals. What sustains your effort in between is your determination. What carries you towards your goals is your determination. It means the firmness of purpose or intention.
If there is one gift that you can give to yourself in your life to be what you want to be it is the power of
determination. Without it you are a mere passive spectator in the drama of your life. If there is one quality that makes a difference between a winner and a loser or a leader and a follower, it is the power of determination. Without it, you may dream wild dreams, but you will not accomplish much in life. If you have determination, nothing can stop you
and deter you from following your course of action to achieve your goals or realize your dreams.
Obstacles may arise and obstruct your progress. They may delay your success, disturb you temporarily, and may even mislead you, but they cannot withstand the power of determination. It is the power that you generate within yourself to remain committed to your path and beliefs, and march towards your cherished goals. Before you take up any project or goal, you should know whether you have the determination to stick to your plans and reach your goals. Your determination has to arise from within and obtain its reinforcement from your thinking and beliefs rather than circumstances. Only then will you be able to sustain your effort, even when the going gets tough. Determination is your inner strength. Like the hardwood inside a tree, it gives you the power to stand tall and face the strong winds.
With determination, you can remove the mountains of fear and doubts in you. You can find your way through the most difficult situations. Determination does not mean you will be insensitive to the reality of the situation. A determined person is also an adaptable and flexible person. He is not interested in being tough for toughness sake, but to overcome obstacles and reach his goals. Hence, he remains open-minded about possibilities and opportunities, but firm in his commitment and convictions. Self-control and determination go together. If you have them, you become unstoppable.

第二节（20 分）
【67 题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I’m very happy to hear that you are learning Chinese. And I really understand that you are finding Chinese quite challenging to learn. It’s okay for beginners to meet some troubles. Here are some advice I’d like to give you.
First, I suggest you focus on mastering the basics, such as pinyin and commonly used phrases. This will help you build a strong foundation for further learning. Another suggestion is to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. Watch Chinese movies or TV shows, listen to Chinese music, and try to communicate with native speakers. This will not only improve your listening and speaking skills but also give you a better understanding of Chinese culture.
Remember, learning a new language takes time and effort. I wish you all the best in your Chinese learning journey.
Yours, Li Hua
