16、ow price?A.Trankle.B.Loren.C.Dancy.D.Herbert.B The subject of Jay Owenss new book has long been trying to kill me.Like millions of people around the world,I am allergic to dust.I have long considered it an enemy.But Owens is out to broaden our perspective.While each particle(微粒)of dust may be tiny,t
17、ogether they have outsized consequences.Approximately 2bn tons of dust are lifted into the Earths atmosphere each year,Owens tells us,both absorbing and reflecting the suns energy and seeding cloudstherefore directly affecting global temperatures and climate.Like water,dust is part of an essential e
18、cological cycle.Owenss own fascination with dust started in 2015,with a road trip through California.Owens was transfixed by the story of Los Angeles,whose growth and modern existence was only possible through the systematic theft of water and the creation of a dust desert to the east.Early in the b
19、ook,Owens unpacks the history of hygiene(卫生),exploring how dirt and our relation to it has changed over centuries,and cleanlinessor the pursuit of itdefines our modern lives.After the Industrial Revolution,emerging ideas about the relationship between dirt and disease made dust something to be fough
20、t againsta responsibility that fell on women.The poorest people tended to have the least time and money to clean a house;often,their jobs were to clean the houses of others.“The history of 20th-century cleanliness is,thus,a history not only of the making of sex and class distinctions,but racialised
21、inequalities.”Perhaps the most emotionally stirring chapter in the book is that in which Owens retells the story of the nuclear age not through mushroom clouds,but through the radioactive dust they left behind.One study estimated that the effects of atmospheric nuclear testing would eventually resul
22、t in the deaths of 2.4 million people from cancer,a threat“that has gone substantially unnoticed because radioactive dust is such a delayed killer”.One reason to think about dust,Owens writes in Dust,is“to challenge ourselves to try to see the world beyond our easy imaginings”.24.What is the main id
23、ea of paragraph 2?A.The impact of dust on temperatures.5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司B.The amount of dust in the atmosphere.C.The comparison between dust and water.D.The traveling course of dust around the world.25.What does the underlined word“transfixed”mean in paragraph 3?A.Thrilled.B.Inspired.C.Embarrassed.D.S
24、hocked.26.How does Owens regard dust?A.It is a distant concern.B.It carries political meanings.C.It changes our relation to nature.D.It is a reflection of tech advancement.27.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce a book.B.To support an author.C.To present a phenomenon.D.To correct misund
25、erstandings.C In todays motivational literature,failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated.Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again.Fail better.”It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success,a turning point
26、in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.However,psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively.In other words,we fail to“fail forward”.We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed,and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.This
27、 phenomenon is known as the“sour-grape effect”,which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.Sjastad explains that“sour-grape effect”is a self-protective mechanism.“Most of us picture ourselves as competent people,so when external feedback suggests otherwise,it poses a serious threat to that se
28、lf-image,”he says.“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal,so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self.We do this even without noticing.”If you have one bad interview for your dream job,you might convince yourself that you dont really want it a
29、t all,and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial,or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript.“We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our Plan C is actually our Plan 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司A,”Sjastad says.It do
30、esnt mean we should persevere in goals all the time.It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy.But the“sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely,rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.Failures are
31、unavoidable.By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened,you may find it easier to achieve your goals.28.Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1?A.To offer an example to handle failure.B.To describe
32、 a shallow understanding of failure.C.To introduce a common attitude towards failure.D.To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.29.What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the“sour-grape effect”?A.It protects us from false feedback.B.It pictures us as competitive people.C.It poses a s
33、evere threat to self-image.D.It denies negative feedback to ourselves.30.What is the authors attitude towards failure?A.Short-sighted.B.Wait-and-see.C.Objective.D.Skeptical.31.Which statement would the author most probably agree with?A.Dont escape when our self-image is broken.B.Dont quit when goals
34、 no longer make you happy.C.Never hesitate to replace“Plan A”with“Plan C”.D.Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.D Babies are surrounded by human language,always listening and processing.Eventually,they put sounds together to produce a“Daddy”or a“Mama”.But what still confuses neuroscien
35、tists is exactly how the brain works to put it all together.To figure it out,a team of researchers turned to a frequent stand-in(代替)for babies when it comes to language learning:the song-learning zebra finch.“Weve known songbirds learn their 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司song by first forming a memory of their fat
36、hers song or another adults song.Then they use that memory to guide their song learning,”said Neuroscientist Todd Roberts.“Its been a long-term goal of the field to figure out how or where in the brain this memory is.This type of imitative learning that birds do is very similar to the type of learni
37、ng that we engage in regularlyparticularly when were young,we use it to guide our speech learning.”Roberts and his team had a feeling that the interface(交叉区域)between sensory areas and motor areas in the brain was critical for this process,and they focused on a group of brain cells called the NIf.“In
38、 order to prove that we could identify these circuits,we thought if we could implant a false memory.”First,they used a virus to cause the neurons(神经元)in the birds NIf to become sensitive to light.Then,using a tiny electrode as a flashlight,they activated(激活)the neurons.The length of each pulse of li
39、ght corresponded with the amount of time the neurons would fire.And the birds brains interpreted that time period as the length of each note.Soon enough,the birds began to practice the notes they had learned,even though they never really heard the sounds.Amazingly,the birds produced them in the corr
40、ect social situations.The researchers say this is the first time anybody has found exactly a part of the brain necessary for generating the sorts of memories needed to copy sounds.“This line of research is going to help us identify where in the brain we encode memories of relevant social experiences
41、 that we use to guide learning.We know that there are several neurodevelopmental disorders in people that have really far-reaching effects on this type of learning.”32.The zebra finch is researched because its song-learning mode _.A.decides whether it will sing songs B.helps it to say“Daddy”or“Mama”
42、C.is like the way babies learn speech D.reflects its talent for imitating its fathers song 33.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The interface in the brain.B.Guidance from adults.C.Imitative learning type like birds.D.The way of regular learning.34.What can we learn from the
43、research led by Roberts?A.Scientists activated some neurons by using an electrode.8 学科网（北京）股份有限公司B.A bird only sings what it heard before.C.The brain produces tiny electrodes.D.Birds are sensitive to light.35.What do the Roberts team expect of this line of research?A.A change in our way of listening
44、 and processing.B.A chance to have relevant social experiences.C.A better knowledge of the secrets of learning.D.Identification of neurodevelopmental disorders.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）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。The human memory is phenomenally strong.It also ha
45、s a habit of getting things badly wrong.36 Just last week,for example,my wife and I were discussing how wed chosen our youngest sons name.I had a vivid memory of us writing out a list of possible names,but stopping after just a few because wed spotted one we both loved.My wife disagreed.In her memor
46、y,wed had a much longer list,and gone back and chosen one from the middle of the list.37 We dug out the piece of paper wed usedand found that wed actually done something completely different to choose Nates name.38 Well,for starters,memory often works by association,and similar bits of information c
47、an overlap in our brains.Were also good at“filling in the blanks”with details that are logical but untrue.Whats more,whenever we rehearse(重复)a memory,we make it strongerincluding any bits that were wrong.39 Everyone misremembers.We shouldnt be too hard on ourselves when we make mistakes.The mental a
48、ssociations that sometimes lead to errors can also help us to find elusive information.Besides,discussing your memories is great mental exercise.It highlights strengths and weaknesses and lets you learn tips from others.Comparing memories often builds a much more accurate picture.40 Make sure to rem
