BHold.CStruggle. DSurvive.4、What Kevin said in the last paragraph tells us that_.Ashe uses machines to cook for a party Bshe likes to join in a dinner partyCshe expects the arrival of AI Dshe cares about the starter of a chat23（8分）EScience has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brooks story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks attempt to translate his tale into science.1、The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_.Aillustrate where science can be appliedBdemonstrate the value of Brooks new bookCremind the reader of the importance of scienceDexplain why many writers use science in their works2、According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?AIts strong basis.BIts convincing points.CIts clear writing.DIts memorable characters.3、What is the authors general attitude towards the book?AContradictory.BSupportive.CCautious.DCritical.4、What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?AProblems with the book.BBrookss life experience.CDeath of the characters.DBrookss translation skills.24（8分） When I was a boy there were no smart phones. Computers were something you saw on STAR TREK(星际航行)，and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my house were the nature ready-made playgrounds.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one-lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of holes and muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.The dirt road give way to a rock one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didnt want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve(弯曲处) and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said, “All roads lead Home.” This is true. In this life all roads no matter what their twists(弯曲) and turns are can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our heart, if we can insist.1、Why was the author never bored when he was a boy?ABecause there was still a TV.BBecause he liked hiking alone.CBecause there were so many playgrounds built for him.DBecause he had so many places around his house to play.2、What made the author decide to take the old road?ASeeing it before.BThat it was a muddy road.CTrying a new and special experience.DThat it had deep woods on both sides.3、How did the author feel when he saw a known house in the distance?AExcited. BFrightened.CTouched. DDesperate.4、Why did the author mention the sign?ATo share a famous saying with readers.BTo introduce what he wanted to say.CTo explain the function of the sign.DTo prove the significance of the sign.25（10分）To err is human. Society is suffering from an inability to acknowledge as much.For individuals, errors are painful. The trick, then, is to err well: to recognize mistakes and learn from them. Worryingly, humanity may be getting worse at admitting its mistakes.Few enjoy the feeling of being caught out in an error. But real trouble starts when the desire to avoid a punishment leads to a refusal to deal with contrary evidence. Economists often assume that people are sensible. When faced with a new fact, these people should update their view of the world to take better decisions in future. Yet years of economic research confirms that people frequently disregard information that conflicts with their view of the world.Why should that be? Last year Roland Benabou, of Princeton, presented a framework for thinking about the problem. In many ways, beliefs are like other economic goods. People spend time and resources building them, and get value from them: some beliefs make owners feel good and show their public identity; other beliefs provide value by shaping behaviorfor example, religious asceticism(禁欲主义) can help one avoid unhealthy habits.Because beliefs, however, are not simply tools for making good decisions, but are treasured in their own right, new information that challenges them is unwelcome. People often engage in “motivated reasoning” to manage such challenges. Mr B
