answer liesin an unexpected area：the different farming methods used by people living in theEast and the West.While Westerners are known for their individualism and analyticalthinking，Eastern culture tends to be interdependent and holistic，the study claims.Theories explaining the differences have included wealth and education fuellingindividualism in the West，and high rates of infectious diseases in the East causingpeople to be suspicious of outsiders.“But the real reason may simply be the way peopleat both ends of the world cultivate rice and wheat，”say the scientists.Rice cannot be grown without ample supplies of water，forcing neighbours to worktogether to irrigate their crops.It is also highly labour-intensive，requiring abouttwice the number of hours from planting to harvest.Wheat farmers，in contrast，canrely on the rain and operate much more independently.8B.absurdD.toughB.basicallyD.personallyB.followD.useTo test their theory，the scientists assessed known measures of individualismand collectivism in 1,000 people from different regions of China where rice and wheatare grown.The results，published in the journalScience，showed distinct psychologicaldifferences that mirrored those between the East and the West.“Its easy to thinkof China as a single culture，”said lead researcher Thomas Talhelm，from theUniversity of Virginia.“But we found that China has very distinct northern andsouthern psychological cultures and that southern Chinas history of rice farmingcan explain why people in southern China are more interdependentthan people in thewheat-growing north.This suggests that legacies(后遗症)of farming are continuingto affect people in the modern world.”The East Coast prefers Bud Light，a new study of Americas drinking habits hasrevealed.Researchers analyzed a million tweets to find out which each regionprefers.They found tweet preferences for Bud Light are found mainly in those statesnorth of Washington DC，while preferences for Coors Light originate in the westernhalf，particularly near Colorado and surrounding states.Other beer places includeMiller Lite preferences in the Midwest，the central area of the United States，andthe Great Plains，and brands like Corona and Dos Equis in the southern border regionsof the US.Most wine-related tweets were sent from the wine-growing regions of Washington，Oregon，and northern and central California.Overall，residents of the Eastern andWestern US coastal regions are more partial to wine(or at least are more likely totweet about it)，while people from several Midwestern states and into Kansas，Oklahomaand Texas tend to tweet about beer.语篇解读研究发现，不同的农耕方法导致了东西方之间的文化差异。56.The existing theories about cultural differences include all the followingsEXCEPT .A.educational backgroundsB.infectious diseasesC.ways of analyzing thingsD.farming methods答案C解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“.the different farming methods used by peopleliving in the East and the West.”及第二段中的“Theories explaining

项均是现存的导致文化差异的理论之一，文中未提及C 项，故选择 C 项。57.Thomas Talhelm conducted the research mainly to prove .A.traditional agriculture still plays a big role in modern timesB.farming methods lead to differences between Western and Eastern culturesC.farming techniques provide a basis for agricultural variations in different regionsD.psychological differences between different regionsare affected by many factors答案B解析推理判断题。根据第一段可知，科学家们推断东西方之间的文化差异主要是由于人们种植水稻和小麦使用不同的农耕方法，再根据第四段中“To test their theory”可知研究目的也就是要证明这一点，故选B 项。BMistakes can be learning opportunities，but the brain needs time for lessons tosink in.When facing fast decisions，even the momentary distraction of noting an errorcan decrease accuracy on the next choice，researchers report in the March 15 JournalofNeuroscience.“We have a brain region that monitors and says you messed up so that we cancorrect our behavior，”says psychologist George Buzzell，now at the University ofMaryland in College Park.But sometimes，that monitoring system can backfire，distracting us from the task at hand and causing us to make another error.“There does seem to be a little bit of time for people，after mistakes，whereyoure sort of offline，”says Jason Moser，a psychologist at Michigan StateUniversity，who wasnt part of the study.To test peoples response to making mistakes，Buzzell and colleagues at GeorgeMason University in Fairfax，Va.，monitored 23 participants brain activity whilethey worked through a challenging task.Concentric(同心的)circles flashed brieflyon a screen，and participants had to respond with one hand if the two circles werethe same color and the other hand if the circles were slightly different shades.After making a mistake，participants generally answered the next questioncorrectly if they had a second or so to recover.But when the next challenge came veryquickly after an error，as little as 0.2 seconds，accuracy dropped by about 10percent.Electrical activity recorded from the visual cortex(大脑皮层)showed thatparticipants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake10than if they had responded correctly.“The cognitive demand of noting and processing the error seems to divertattention that would otherwise be devoted to the task，”Buzzell says.In real life，people usually have time even if just a few seconds to reflecton a mistake before having to make another decision.But in some activities such asdriving a car or playing a musical instrument，people must rebound from errors quicklywhile continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task.Those actions might pushthe limits of error processing.语篇解读本文就错误进行了分析。诚然，错误可能是一个很好的学习机会，但是犯错也会让你的大脑一时短路、掉线，从而降低下一个任务的准确率。58.Brief distraction of noting an error when facing fast decisions can leadparticipants to .A.make more mistakes later onB.get distracted for the time beingC.become less accurate afterwardsD.miss good learning opportunities答案C解析细节理解题。从文中第二段可以看出，当面对快速决策时哪怕是片刻的注意力分散都会降低下一个选择的准确性，故选C。59.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?A.You are not on the phone for not being part of the study.B.Your mind is a little bit blank after making a mista
