14、 able to use the vast number of cells freely in the most effective way.Puremathematics is one of the fields in which this happens,and we know that Albert Einstein madeall his world-shaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25,and spent the rest of hislife tidying them up and arranging them
15、.But in certain other types of activity(of which being an author is perhaps one),experience ismore important than sharpness of brain,and there one usually finds that a person reaches his orher peak much later in life.Besides sharpness of brain and experience,here is another thing that is very import

24、ng them.”人们发现,16 岁以后,我们的脑细胞数量开始以每年几百万的速度减少。在某些类型的活动中,人类的大脑在 20 岁早期处于巅峰状态,.我们知道阿尔伯特爱因斯坦在 20 到 25 岁之间做出了所有震惊世界的发现。用余生来整理和安排这些发现。根据对爱因斯坦所的发现可知,他的伟大的发现是在 20-25 岁之间,更是印证了人类大脑在 20 年代初达到了巅峰,可推断出,本段主要研究人类大脑巅峰期,故选B。(2)考查推理判断。根据第二段“But in certain other types of activity(of which being anauthor is perhaps one)
25、,experience is more important than sharpness of brain,and there oneusually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.”但在某些其他类型的活动中(作家可能是其中一种),经验比头脑的敏捷更重要,人们通常会发现一个人在他一生的晚期才达到顶峰。可推断出有些人在晚年取得成功是因为他们的工作中往往需要很多经验。故选 A。(3)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Besides sharpness of brain and experience,here

27、,as against how one would like them to behave and react.”除了敏锐的头脑和丰富的经验外,还有一件事是非常重要的,那就是智慧。学习成为智者,要基本的了解什么是不可能的;学习有可能但又很困难的东西,以至于不值得一个人为了达到目的而付出所有的努力。最重要的是了解人性,了解真实的人是如何行为和反应的,以及人们希望他们如何行为和反应的。由此可推断出智慧的重要性在于智慧能让人知道什么可做,什么不能做,即为人提供正确的努力方向。故选D。(4)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Leaning to be wise is basically learning
28、 what is notpossible;and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to gothrough to get there.Mostly,it is learning about human nature;how real people behave andreact,as against how one would like them to behave and react.One can read and hear lot ofidealistic stu
