A study f vilinists fund that merely gd players practised as much as better players, leaving ther factrs such as quality f educatin, learning skills and perhaps natural talent t accunt fr the difference.
This finding challenges the 10, 000-hur rule prmted in Malclm Gladwell’s 1993 study f vilinists and pianists. Gladwell states that enugh practice will make an expert f anyne. “The idea has been ppular and entrenched in ur culture fr years. It’s nt an idim but an verstatement,” said Brke Macnamara, the lead authr. “When it cmes t human skill, a cmplex cmbinatin f envirnmental factrs and genetic factrs explains the perfrmance differences acrss peple.”
Macnamara and her clleagues set ut t repeat part f the 1993 study t see whether they reached the same cnclusin. They interviewed three grups f 13 vilinists regarded as best, gd, r less accmplished abut their practice habits, befre having them cmplete daily diaries f their activities ver a week. While the less skillful vilinists reached an average f abut 6,000 hurs f practice by the age f 20, there was little t separate the gd frm the best, with each reaching an average f abut 11,000 hurs. In all, the number f hurs spent practising accunted fr abut a quarter f the skill difference acrss the three grups.
Macnamara believes practice is less f a driver. “Once yu get t the highly skilled grups, practice stps accunting fr the difference. Everyne has practised a lt and ther factrs are at play in determining wh ges n t a higher level,” she said. “The factrs depend n the skill being learned: in chess it culd be intelligence r wrking memry; in sprt it may be hw efficiently a persn uses xygen. T cmplicate matters further, ne factr can drive anther. Children wh enjy playing the vilin, fr example, may be happy t practise because they d nt see it as a truble.”
The authrs f the 1993 study are unimpressed. Macnamara said it was imprtant fr peple t understand the limits f practice, thugh. “Practice makes yu better than yu were yesterday, mst f the time,” she said. “But it might nt make yu better than yur neighhur r the ther kid in yur vilin class.”
24. What des the underlined wrd “entrenched” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Rted.B. Advanced.C. Changed.D. Uncnfirmed.
25. What can we learn abut Macnamara’s study?
A. It cnvinced Malclm Gladwell.B. It invlved vilinists and pianists.
C. Its prcess was similar t the 1993 study.D. Its result is cnsistent with the 1993 study.
26. What des Macnamara find abut highly skilled peple?
A. Practicing fr 11,000 hurs is their main driver.
B. They enjy keeping diaries abut their prgress.
C. Envirnmental factrs have little relatin t their success.
D. Mre practice makes little difference t their further prgress.
27. What is the best title fr the text?
A. What makes an expert?B. Des practice make perfect?
C. The early bird catches the wrmD. Enthusiasm is the key t success

What may well be the ldest metal cins in the wrld have been identified at an ancient abandned city knwn as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Brnze Age (青铜时代) cins frm the regin, they were cast in the shape f spades with finely carved handles. These ancient cins existed during an in-between perid between barter (以物易物) and mney, when cins were a nvel cncept, but everybdy knew that agricultural tls were valuable.
Reading abut this incredible discvery, I kept thinking abut the way mdern peple represent cmputer netwrks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a huse. We als talk abut ne cmputer using a “prt” t send infrmatin t anther cmputer, as if the data were a flating bat with destinatin. It’s as if we are in the Brnze Age f infrmatin technlgy, grasping desperately fr real-wrld reference t transfrm ur civilizatin.
Nw cnsider what happened t spade cins. Over centuries, metalwrkers made these cins int mre abstract shapes. Sme became almst human figures. Others’ handles were reduced t small half-circles. As spade cins grew mre abstract, peple carved them with number values and the lcatins where they were made. They became mre like mdern cins, flat and cvered in writing. Lking at ne f these later pieces, yu wuld have n idea that they were nce intended t lk like a spade.
This makes me wnder if we will develp an entirely new set f symbls that allw us t interact with ur digital infrmatin mre smthly.
Taking spade cins as ur guide, we can guess that far-future cmputer netwrks will n lnger cntain any recgnizable references t huses. But they still might bring sme f the ideas we assciate with hme t ur mind. In fact, cmputer netwrks — if they still exist at all — are likely t be almst the indispensable part f ur huses and cities, their sensrs inset with walls and rads. Our netwrk addresses might actually be the same as ur street addresses. If climate change leads t flds, ur mbile devices might lk mre like bats than phnes, assisting us t land.
My pint is that the metaphrs f the infrmatin age aren’t randm. Mbile devices d ffer us cmfrt after a lng day at wrk. In sme sense, ur desire t settle n the shres f data lakes culd change the way we understand hme, as well as hw we build cmputers. S as we cast ur minds frward, we have t think abut what new abstractins will g alng with ur infrmatin technlgy. Perhaps the ne thing we cunt n is that humans will still appreciate the cmfrts f hme.
28. Why were many Brnze Age cins made int the shape f a spade?
A. Because a lt f emphasis was put n agriculture.
B. Because this stylish design made the cins valuable.
C. Because these cins als served as agricultural tls.
D. Because the handles made the cins easily exchanged.
29. Why des the authr relate cmputers t spade cins in Paragraph 2?
A. T shw they bth used t be new cncepts when first invented.
B. T explain abstract digital wrlds are different frm cncrete cins.
C. T suggest cmputers will experience dramatic changes as cins did.
D. T highlight their same imprtance in ur civilizatinal transfrmatin.
30. What des the underlined wrd “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Flexible.B. Essential.C. Wasteful.D. Alternative.
31. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. What Cins and Cmputers Bring Us
B. Hw Agriculture Lses t Digital Industry
C. Hw Brnze Age Develps t Infrmatin Age
D. What Ancient Mney Tells Us Abut the Future IT

Peple with a rare genetic disrder knwn as Prader-Willi syndrme never feel full, and this excess hunger can lead t life-threatening besity (肥胖症). Scientists studying the prblem have nw fund that the fist-shaped structure knwn as the cerebellum (小脑) -- which had nt previusly been linked t hunger -- is key t regulating satiatin (饱食) in thse with this cnditin.
This finding is the latest in a series f discveries revealing that the cerebellum, lng thught t be primarily invlved in mvement harmny, als plays a brad rle in cgnitin, emtin and behavir. “We’ve pened up a whle field f cerebellar cntrl f fd intake,” says Albert Chen, a neurscientist at the Scintilln Institute in Califrnia.
The prject began with an accidental bservatin: Chen and his team nticed they culd make mice stp eating by activating small pckets f neurns(神经元) in regins knwn as the anterir deep cerebellar nuclei (aDCN), within the cerebellum. Fascinated, the researchers gathered data using functinal MRI t cmpare brain activity in 14 peple wh had Prader-Willi syndrme with activity in 14 unaffected peple while each testee viewed images f fd -- either immediately fllwing a meal r after fasting (禁食) fr at least fur hurs.
New analysis f these scans revealed that activity in the same regins Chen’s grup had accurately pinted ut in mice, the aDCN, appeared t be significantly disturbed in humans with Prader-Willi syndrme. In healthy individuals, the aDCN were mre active in respnse t fd images while fasting than just after a meal, but n such difference was identifiable in participants with the disrder. The result suggested that the aDCN were invlved in cntrlling hunger. Further experiments n mice, cnducted by researchers frm several different institutins, demnstrated that activating the animals’ aDCN neurns dramatically reduced fd intake by weakening hw the brain’s pleasure center respnds t fd.
Fr years neurscientists studying appetite fcused mainly either n the hypthalamus, a brain area invlved in regulating energy balance, r n reward-prcessing centers such as the nucleusaccumbens (伏隔核). But this grup has identified a new feeding center in the brain, says Elanr Hintn, a neurscientist at the University f Bristl in England wh was nt invlved with the study. “I’ve been wrking in appetite research fr the past 15 years r s, and the cerebellum has just nt been a target,” Hintn says. “I think this is ging t be imprtant bth fr Prader-Willi syndrme and, much mre widely, t address besity in the general ppulatin.”
32. Befre the recent study, what had scientists assumed?
A. The cerebellum helped cntrl everyday fd intake.
B. The cerebellum played a minr rle in mvement harmny.
C. The cerebellum had nthing t d with appetite regulatin.
D. The cerebellum had a direct link t behaviral develpment.
33. Accrding t the prject cnducted by the researchers, which f the fllwing is true?
A. The healthy testees were mre likely t vereat after fasting.
B. Fd images increased the appetite f the testees with Prader-Willi syndrme.
C. The aDCN in the healthy testees respnded t fd images mre actively after fasting.
D. The aDCN in the testees with Prader-Willi syndrme made n respnse t fd images.
34. What des Elanr Hintn imply abut future appetite research?
A. It may help in the early diagnsis f Prader-Willi syndrme.
B. It will have brader implicatins fr the treatment f besity.
C. The ptential feeding center in human brain remains t be discvered.
D. Mre studies are needed t understand the link between appetite and reward-prcessing.
35. What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A. Hw ur brain cntrls vereating.
B. Hw the aDCN wrks up ur appetite.
C. Hw Prader-Willi syndrme can be prevented.
D. Hw lwering fd intake benefits ur verall health.

The Hardest Nvel I’ve Ever Read
Fr the last three mnths, I have glared at its fat heavy frm n my flr with a vague sense f persnal failure. I have pened Ulysses twice, determined t finish it, and managed t get all the way t page 46. I have read s little bth times that I have never bthered using a bkmark.
____36____ I like the cmmunity this bk has created, its inherent sense f freedm and celebratin f all things rude and true. I like that the style and language allw fr readers t chse hw they read it — sme recmmend skipping chapter three, thers suggest reading it nly after reading ABOUT it but I still get stuck.
Why d I get stuck? ____37____ On the “Mst Difficult Nvels” list n the Gdreads website, Jyce takes the tp tw spts, with Ulysses ranking first and Finnegans Wake fllwing it. I think what is restricting me t page 46 is the language: the big fat burst f Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialgue that, while entertaining me, is als leaving me a little lst.
There are a few ther “wrthy” wrks f literature I have yet t read, including Infinite Jest and War and Peace. ____38____ I really want t lve Ulysses. I feel deeply frustrated that I can’t finish it, all the while appreciating its uniqueness, weightiness and special “jyusness”.
The English writer Virginia Wlf thught Ulysses was nnsense as she cmplained in her diaries abut the pressure t finish reading it. By cntrast, Vladimir Nabkv, the authr wh wrte Llita expressed deep lve fr it. ____39____ I have read it similar t a lng marriage (smething unpleasant, big reward at the end), mdern Jazz-fusin (an innvative genre) and bxing match with neself (wanting t punch yurself in the face), which is hw I felt by page 46.
Sme peple lve Ulysses, s where am I getting wrng? My ultimate hpe is that the struggle will be wrth the effrt and I can prceed victrius nt page 800 r s, n my third furth, eighteenth try. ____40____
A. I’m nt entirely sure myself.
B. Smething tells me I will get there in the end.
C. A lt f them are weighty great bks, but I like big nes.
D. It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience fr everyne.
E. Even when staring at pages withut absrbing a wrd, I thught nice thughts abut it.
F. They, hwever, nly cause me a slight sense f shame that I have nt read r enjyed them.
G. I have been amused and charmed by the first tw r three chapters, and then puzzled and bred.

Having wrked at a small fd stre fr tw years, I thught I had becme successful at what ur manager called "custmer relatins". I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an autmatic “sir""madam", "thank yu" and "srry" wuld see me thrugh any situatin.

The mment she entered the stre, the wman presented a sharp cntrast t ur shiny stre with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slwly pushed pen the glass dr. On such a zer-degree night, she was wearing nly a faded print dress, a thin sweater t small t buttn, and black slippers with the backs cut ut t expse heels. There were n stckings r scks n her blue-veined legs.
After walking arund the stre fr several minutes, the ld wman stpped in frnt f the rws f canned vegetables. She lked at the rw f cans, finally picked up a can f crn and stared at the label. At that pint, I decided t be a gd and plite emplyee and asked her if she needed help. As I std clse t her, my smile became harder t maintain. An unpleasant smell f sweat rse frm her trn clthing.
"I need sme fd," she muttered in reply t my bright "Madam, can I help yu?"
"Are yu lking fr crn, madam?"
"I need sme fd," she repeated, lking dwn at the can in her hand, "Any kind."
"Well, the can f crn is ninety-five cents, madam." I said in my mst helpful vice. "Or, if yu like, we have a special n bread tday."
After a shrt pause, she lifted her head and said, "But I… can't pay."
Fr a secnd, it was n the tip f my tngue t tell her that she culd take the crn.

Then the emplyee rules flded int my mind: Remain plite but d nt let the custmers get the best f yu. At the thught f that, I managed a friendly smile and autmatically blurted ut, “I’m srry, madam, but I can't give away anything fr free." Hearing this, the ld wman ndded her head, her face darkened and eyelids drpped. Unwillingly, she put the can back n the shelf, shuffled past me tward the dr and vanished int the distance. It was at that mment that a ripple f regret welled up inside me. Hw I wished I hadn't said thse wrds!
Mments after she left, I rushed ut f the dr with the can f crn. Frtunately, the gaunt figure f the ld wman was still in sight. I went running up t her." Madam, merry Christmas!" said I, thrusting the can f cm int her blue-veined hand. Fr a secnd, I culd feel that her hand quivered. Withut waiting fr her reply, I just waved her gdbye befre trtting straight away. Fr the rest f my shift, the image f the wman cnstantly reminded me that while dealing with ther human beings, it was sincere cncern rather than a glib respnse that culd smth ver any difficulty.

部分解析：
B篇 【答案】24．A25．C 26．D 27．B
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章说明了优秀的人的成就是多种因素造成的结果，并对练习的重要性进行了更深层次的探讨。
24．A【解析】词句猜测题。第二段划线词句的上一句“Gladwell states that enugh practice will make an expert f anyne.(Gladwell指出，足够多的练习将使任何人成为专家。)”中 Gladwell提出了谚语“Practice makes perfect”的观点，再根据划线词句“The idea has been ppular and entrenched in ur culture fr years.(多年来，这个观点已经很流行，并在我们的文化中entrenched。)”可知，划线单词和前文中的“ppular”并列，说明这个传统观点广泛流传并在文化中“基础深厚”，结合选项可知，选项A“根深蒂固的”与之意义最为接近，故选A项。
25．C【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Macnamara and her clleagues set ut t repeat part f the 1993 study t see whether they reached the same cnclusin.( Macnamara和她的同事重复了1993年的部分研究，看看他们是否能得出相同的结论。)”可知，Macnamara做的实验过程和1993年做的实验是相似的。故选C项。
26．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Macnamara believes practice is less f a driver.( Macnamara认为，练习并不是唯一的驱动因素。)”以及她所说的“Once yu get t the highly skilled grups, practice stps accunting fr the difference. Everyne has practised a lt and ther factrs are at play in determining wh ges n t a higher level.(一旦你进入了高技能人群，练习就不能解释这种差异了。每个人都做了很多练习，其他因素在决定谁能上更高的水平上起作用)”可推知，Macnamara认为更多练习对高技能的人的进一步继续进步没有多大影响。故选D项。
27．B【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“A study f vilinists fund that merely gd players practised as much as better players, leaving ther factrs such as quality f educatin, learning skills and perhaps natural talent t accunt fr the difference.(一项对小提琴家的研究发现，优秀的小提琴手和更优秀的小提琴手仅仅是练习的次数一样多，这时，其他因素，如教育质量、学习技巧，也许还有天生的天赋，就是造成这种差异的原因。)”可知，本文主要说明优秀的人成就是多因素的结果，并对练习的重要性进行了更深层次的说明。选项B“熟能生巧（练习能至完美）吗？”对这一流行的观点进行进一步的探讨，突出主题，适合做标题。故选B项。
C篇
【答案】28．A29．D30．B31．D
【文章大意】
本文是一篇议论文。讲述的是作者以青铜时代的古钱币为视角，探讨未来电脑科技的发展。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“These ancient cins existed during an in-between perid between barter(以物易物) and mney, when cins were a nvel cncept, but everybdy knew that agricultural tls were valuable.(这些古币存在于物物交换和货币交换之间的一个时期，当时硬币还是一个新奇的概念，但每个人都知道农业工具是有价值的。)”可知，许多青铜时代的硬币被做成铁锹的形状，是因为货币是一种新奇的概念，但每个人都知道农业工具是有价值的，所以将其铸造成农业工具的形状原因是当时人们把重点都放在农业上了，这种新奇的事物依托了人们熟悉的农业。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段中“It's as if we are in the Brnze Age f infrmatin technlgy, grasping desperately fr real-wrld reference t transfrm ur civilizatin. (我们仿佛处于信息技术的青铜时代，拼命地寻找现实世界的参考来改变我们的文明。)”可知，作者通过提及青铜时代的货币提到了如今的电脑科技世界，是因为二者具有共同的特点即铁锹货币在青铜时代改变的文明中起着重要作用，电脑科技在我们当今时代改变文明中也发挥着重要作用。即强调它们在我们的文明变革中同样重要。故选D。
30．词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“part f ur huses and cities, their sensrs inset with walls and rads. Our netwrk addresses might actually be the same as ur street addresses.”（计算机网络是我们房屋和城市的一部分，它们的传感器嵌入了墙壁和道路。我们的网络地址实际上可能与我们的街道地址相同。）可知，电脑网络与我们的街道地址相同，嵌入了我们的墙壁和道路，成为了我们房屋和城市的一部分，故这是必不可少的，与B选项意思相近。essential为形容词，意为“必不可少的”。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。第一段讲述的是青铜时代的铁锹货币；第二段讲述的是通过青铜时期的货币让作者联想到当今的电脑世界；第三段讲述的是数十年来货币符号的不断变化。第四、五和六段阐述的是受到货币演化过程的启发，让作者想到的是我们是否会开发出一套全新的符号，让我们能够更顺畅地与数字信息进行交互，展开了对未来数字世界的畅想。故本文的主旨大意是以古代货币为启发，畅想我们的未来信息科技。故选D。
D篇【答案】32．C33．C34．B35．A
【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，揭示了被认为主要参与运动协调的小脑，可以控制食物的摄入。
32．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists studying the prblem have nw fund that the fist-shaped structure knwn as the cerebellum (小脑) -- which had nt previusly been linked t hunger -- is key t regulating satiatin (饱食) in thse with this cnditin.( 研究这一问题的科学家现在发现，被称为小脑的拳头状结构——此前从未与饥饿联系在一起——是调节这种疾病患者饱腹感的关键。)”可知，之前小脑从未和饥饿联系到一起，也就是没有和胃口联系到一起，故推断科学家们之前认为小脑与食欲调节无关。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“ In healthy individuals, the aDCN were mre active in respnse t fd images while fasting than just after a meal, but n such difference was identifiable in participants with the disrder. (在健康个体中，与饭后相比，禁食时aDCN对食物图像的反应更为积极，但在患有这种疾病的参与者中没有发现这种差异。)”可知，健康受试者的aDCN在禁食后对食物图像的反应更积极。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I think this is ging t be imprtant bth fr Prader-Willi syndrme and, much mre widely, t address besity in the general ppulatin.（我认为这对Prader-Willi综合征以及更广泛地解决普通人群的肥胖问题都很重要。）”可知，这将对肥胖症的治疗产生更广泛的影响。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Scientists studying the prblem have nw fund that the fist-shaped structure knwn as the cerebellum (小脑) -- which had nt previusly been linked t hunger -- is key t regulating satiatin (饱食) in thse with this cnditin.( 研究这一问题的科学家现在发现，被称为小脑的拳头状结构——此前从未与饥饿联系在一起——是调节这种疾病患者饱腹感的关键。)”及后文内容可知，文章主要讲大脑可以调节饱腹感，从而控制过度饮食。故选A。
