passage is followed by some questions or incomplete
statements. For each of them there are 4 choices

Passage One
Wyatt Baldwin has been playing rock, paper,
scissors since he was a kid. The game helped him settle
disagreements with his three older sisters. "I never got
the chance to pick what we watched on TV until learned
the sport of rock. paper. scissors." he says.
Baldwin is president of the World Rock Paper
Scissors Association. He has played in and hosted
competitions all around the globe. He once had a 43-
game winning streak. What is the secret to his success?
"Look for patterns in either your opponent's moves or
behavior," he says. As all serious rock, paper, scissors
layers know, there' more to the game than luck.
People have been playing rock, paper, scissors for
about 2,000 years. It is played everywhere. Some
cultures use different hand symbols. but the idea is the
same. You and an opponent each throw one or three
hand symbols.You win lose, or tie (不分胜负) . Many
people think the game is all luck. It seems that your
chances of winning and losing are about the same, but
the outcome of the game is not random. That's because
human behavior random. There are patterns in how
people make decisions.
A study at Zhejiang University, in China, looked at
how people play rock, paper, scissors. It followed 360
students in a competition. Researchers found two key
patterns. Winners tended to repeat their winning hand
symbols. Losers tended to go from rock to paper to
scissors.
Knowing the psychology of the game is not a sure
ticket to winning, but it can help. Ken Watson is one of
the world's best rock, paper, scissors players. He says
winning takes skill. "You have to size up our
opponent." Luck and chance play a part. but "you have
to be prepared and have a strategy." he says. "Part of
my strategy is being confident,”
According to Baldwin,"practice, practice, practice"
is the key to success. "You can try practicing yourself in
front of a mirror," he says. But for me, that always
ended up in a tic.

Passage Two
Imagine walking through someone's apartment. The
rooms are almost empty, and the only piece of furniture
is simple and folded sofa. There are no decorative
objects lying around ---just the essentials.You open the
closet to find you can count the number of clothing
items inside on one hand. The space seems more like
prison cell than a home and you may think the resident
cannot afford to buy more things fill the apartment
with.
It turns out that that the apartment’s owner is a
minimalist who chooses to limit his number of
belongings. Minimizing goes against consumer society
by dramatically reducing possessions. Minimalists
follow this philosophy to varying degrees, but they
generally claim that cutting back on excess stuff leads to
a more fulfilling life.
With fewer possessions, they do not have to spend as
much time cleaning, thinking about what they
minimizing, or trying to keep up with the latest trends.
Minimalists say this frees up their time for things
meaningful, such as exercising, traveling, and being
with loved ones
Extreme minimalism is not for everyone, but a mild
form of it has given in popularity recently, thanks to
Marie Kondo's best selling book, The Life-Changing
Magic of Tiding Up. Kondo has become distinguished
for her tiding Skills,which she developed naturally one
of her main belongings is that one should only own
things that one truly loves.
It can be unpleasant to part with belongings, but
Kondo’s methods have helped minimalists remove
useless things. Her technique for making space is to go
through things by category, starting with clothing, then
books, papers, tiny objects, and finally, memorable
items. She instructs her followers to touch each object
they own and keep only those that spark joy. promising
that this will lead to domestic happiness ‘
Kondo stresses that it is not about throwing things
away, but about finding the things you want to remain
with a balance between personal joy and possessions.
Even if you are not ready to become a minimalist,you
may want to consider reducing the number of things
you own for it seems that letting go of things can truly
make room for happiness.

Passage Three
For thousands of years, people have known that the
best way to understand a concept is to explain said
Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are it to
someone else."While we teach, we learn,"bringing this
ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're documenting why
teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing
innovative ways for young people to engage in
instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to
tutor others work harder to understand the material,
recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively.
Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils
who're learning only for their own sake. But how can
children, still learning themselves, teach others? One
answer; They can tutor younger kids. Some studies
have found that first-born children are more intelligent
than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐 妹)．This
suggests their higher IQs result from the time they
spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are
experimenting with ways to apply this model to
academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates
to teach computer science to high school students, who
in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is
the " teachable agent" — a computerized character
who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions
just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have
created an animated (slit) figure called Betty's Brain,
who has been "taught" about environmental science by
hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers
are motivated to help Betty master certain materials.
While preparing to teach, they organize their
knowledge and improve their own understanding. And
as they explain the information to it, they identify
problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agents further
enhances the tutors' learning. The agents' questions
compel student tutors to think and explain the materials
in different ways, and watching the agent solve
problems allows them to see their knowledge put into
action. Above all, it's the emotions one experiences in
teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel
upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when
these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and
satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.

11.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies? ( ) [单选题] *

A. Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.(正确答案)

B. Better learners will become better teachers.

C. Human intelligence tends to grow with age.

D. Philosophical thinking improves instruction.

12. What do we learn about Betty's Brain? ( ) [单选题] *

A. It is a character in a popular animation.

B. It is a teaching tool under development.(正确答案)

C. It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.

D. It is a tutor for computer science students.

13. How does teaching others benefit student tutors? ( ) [单选题] *

A. It makes them aware of what they are strong at.

B. It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.

C. It helps them learn their academic subjects better.(正确答案)

D. It enables them to better understand their teachers.

14. What do students do to teach their teachable agents? ( ) [单选题] *

 A. They motivate them to think independently.

B. They ask them to design their own questions.

C. They encourage them to give prompt feedback.

D. They use various ways to explain the materials.(正确答案)

15. What is the key factor that eases student tutors' learning? ( ) [单选题] *

A. Their sense of responsibility.

B.The learning strategy acquired.(正确答案)

C.Their emotional involvement.

D.The teaching experience gained.

Passage Four
A new batch of young women-members of the so-
called Millennial (千禧的) generation-has been entering
the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of
their careers, they are better educated than their
mothers and grandmothers had been--or than their
young male counterparts are now. But when they look
ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe
that women are paid less than men for doing the same
job. They think it's easier for men to get top executive
jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and
when they have children, it will be even harder for them
to advance in their
careers.
While the public sees greater workplace equality
between men and women now than it did 20 -30 years
ago, most believe more change is needed. Among
Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to
continue making changes to achieve gender equality in
the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men.
Even so, relatively few young women ( 15% ) say they
have been discriminated against at work because of
their gender.
As Millennial women come of age they share many of
the same views and values about work as their male
counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and
flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on
high pay. At the same time, however, young working
women are less likely than men to aim at top
management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in
becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young
men say the same. The gender gap on this question is
even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s,
when many women face the trade-offs that go with
work and motherhood.
These findings are based on a new Pew Research
Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials
(ages 18 -32) , conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey
finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have
made in educational attainment and labor force
participation in recent decades, young women view this
as a man's world just as middle-aged and older women
do.

16. What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their
careers? [单选题] *

A. They can get ahead only by striving harder.

B. They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.

C. They are generally quite optimistic about their future.

D. They are better educated than their male counterparts.(正确答案)

17. How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace? [单选
题] *

A. They are the target of discrimination.

B. They find it satisfactory on the whole.

C. They think it needs further improving.(正确答案)

 D. They find their complaints ignored.

18. What do Millennial women value most when coming of age? [单选题] *

A. A sense of accomplishment.

B. Job stability and flexibility.(正确答案)

C. Rewards and promotions.

D. Joy derived from work.

19. What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about? [单选题] *

A. The welfare of their children.

B. The narrowing of the gender gap.

C. The fulfillment of their dreams in life.

D. The balance between work and family.(正确答案)

20. What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey? [单选
题] *

A. They still view this world as one dominated by males.(正确答案)

B. They account for half the workforce in the job market.

C. They see the world differently from older generations.

D. They do better in work than their male counterparts.

Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and

I wonder if 29 should always tell the truth no matter

have 33 metaphorical (比喻) meanings. I'm telling them
they can't open what they absolutely know is a door.
What if later in 34 they come to a metaphorical door,
like an opportunity of some sort, and 35 opening the
door and taking the opportunity, they just 36 it and
wonder, "What if it isn't a door?" That is, "What if it
isn't a 37 opportunity?"
Maybe it's an unreasonable fear. But the 38 is that I
shouldn't lie to my kids. I should just 39 repeatedly
