12．（8分）Buck did not read the newspapers，or he would know that trouble was coming.
In fact，trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair.This was because men，going through the Arctic（ 北极的） darkness，had discovered a yellow metal gold.And because shipping and transportation（运输） companies were advertising the discovery，thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.These men wanted heavy dogs，with strong muscles（肌肉） for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at Judge Miller's house in the sunny﹣kissed Santa Clara Valley.There were big stables（马厩），long grape fields，fruit gardens and a big swimming pool.Buck ruled over the whole kingdom.Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life.He protected the Judge's sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks.On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire.He was king﹣ ﹣king over everything，crawled（爬行的），walked，or flew at Judge Miller's place，including humans.
Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897，when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North.But Buck did not read the newspapers.He did not know that Manuel，one of gardener's helpers，was not to be trusted.Manuel loved to gamble（赌博）.He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure.
On the night of Manuel's betrayal（背叛），no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields.Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk.They arrived at a little train.A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them.Manuel tied a price of thick rope around Buck's neck.Buck accepted it quietly.To be sure，it was unwanted，but Buck had learned to trust men he knew.
However，when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands，he barked.Then the rope tightened（ 收紧） painfully，his tongue hanging out of his mouth.Then his strength disappeared，his eyes grew dim（浑浊），and he knew nothing when the train pulled up.Two men threw him into the baggage car.
（1）Why were thousands of men rushing into the Northland？
A.Because they could live a better life there.
B.Because they might discover gold there.
C.Because they could find the dogs they needed there.
D.Because they wanted to enjoy the beautiful views there.
（2）Which description about Buck is NOT true according to the story？
A.The Judge's family betrayed him so he ran away quietly.
B.He had lived in Judge Miller's house since he was born.
C.Life before the autumn of 1897 was enjoyable for him.
D.Manuel could take him out of Miller's house because he trusted Manuel.
（3）The trouble Buck didn't know at first is that .
A.he did not read the newspapers
B.Judge Miller would ask someone to send Buck away
C.men wanted heavy dogs to work for them in the cold areas
D.Manuel was doomed to lose money when gambling
（4）The story is mainly about .

13．（8分）A bat and a ball cost 1.10 in total.The bat costs 1.00 more than the ball.How much does the ball cost？
If you answered 10 cents，you are not alone ﹣most people give the same answer （the correct answer is 5 cents）.It's an example of how we often depend on intuitive responses（直觉反应）﹣answers we feel are true.People give answers that "pop into their mind，" says cognitive scientist Steven Sloman.We don't spend much time "reflecting and checking whether the answer…is right or wrong."
The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake（虚假的） news.It is part of human nature to believe，says Sloman.But "the trick with fake news is to know to verify"﹣in other words，to stop and check what you know.
In one experiment，Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain.They told a group of volunteers about it，but they did not fully explain what it was.They then asked the volunteers to rate（评等级） their own understanding of helium rain.Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7，meaning they didn't understand it.
The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery.This time，they said the scientists could fully explain how it works.The volunteers gave an average answer of 2.The scientists' confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding of it，Sloman says.
According to Sloman，studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion（接触传染）.This idea can be seen in many fields，including politics（政治）. "If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is dishonest，" Sloman Bays， "then you are going to start thinking that you understand，too."
So，in a world where misleading information is common，is there a way to protect ourselves？ "I don't think it's possible to train persons to check everything that they encounter（遇到），" Sloman admitted. "It is just too human to believe what you are told."
However，training people to care about fact﹣checking is important，he argued，especially in online communities.Think of the headlines and stories that are shared on your social media feed every day.Probably these fit in with your own worldview﹣but perhaps not all of them are true.
"We should check things and not just take them at face value，" Sloman said， "Make sure if it is true before you believe."
（1）The writer uses the example of the bat and ball question to show that .
A.people often forget skills that they have learned at school
B.there is often more than one possible answer to a question
C.many people give quick responses without thinking carefully
D.people sometimes are too careless to get the right answers
（2）The word "verify" in Paragraph 3 probably means " ".
A.to make sure whether something is true
B.to think about something for a long time
C.to express an opinion about something
D.to describe the details about something
（3）More volunteers said they could understand helium rain after .
A.some of the volunteers explained it to them
B.Sloman and his colleague showed them how it works
C.they heard that scientists could explain it confidently
D.they examined the conclusion carefully by themselves
（4）What does the writer probably agree？
A.It is important to do an experiment based on scientific research.
B.The second group of volunteers are more confident than the first.
C.People can be cheated easily because of too much fake news.
D.People should be trained to check before they believe something.
四、信息还原 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
14．（5分）（1） Now the old "been there，seen that" type is changing.Last year，experiential（体验式） travel was popular.Tourists looked for ways to get to know local culture and made themselves look like local people rather than outsiders.So what about this year？ （2）
Transformative（改造式） travel
Transformative travel is very much like "experiential travel"，but takes a step further.It usually takes three steps.Firstly，you go to a place with a different background. （3） And finally you return home and apply（运用） what you have learned to your life.This last step is the difference between the two types.
Visiting disappearing places
（4） Everett Potter，a USA Today writer，says that the South Pole（极） and the North Pole have both become popular places.Another popular place is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia，which might disappear in the near future.
Green Travel
Going green will be one of the most popular ways this year.One way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance（距离）. （5） Another way is to choose a place that will benefit（受益） the most from your trip.For example，places like Nepal will make a lot of money through the local tourist industry and develop quickly.

12．（8分）Buck did not read the newspapers，or he would know that trouble was coming.
In fact，trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair.This was because men，going through the Arctic（ 北极的） darkness，had discovered a yellow metal gold.And because shipping and transportation（运输） companies were advertising the discovery，thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.These men wanted heavy dogs，with strong muscles（肌肉） for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at Judge Miller's house in the sunny﹣kissed Santa Clara Valley.There were big stables（马厩），long grape fields，fruit gardens and a big swimming pool.Buck ruled over the whole kingdom.Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life.He protected the Judge's sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks.On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire.He was king﹣ ﹣king over everything，crawled（爬行的），walked，or flew at Judge Miller's place，including humans.
Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897，when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North.But Buck did not read the newspapers.He did not know that Manuel，one of gardener's helpers，was not to be trusted.Manuel loved to gamble（赌博）.He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure.
On the night of Manuel's betrayal（背叛），no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields.Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk.They arrived at a little train.A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them.Manuel tied a price of thick rope around Buck's neck.Buck accepted it quietly.To be sure，it was unwanted，but Buck had learned to trust men he knew.
However，when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands，he barked.Then the rope tightened（ 收紧） painfully，his tongue hanging out of his mouth.Then his strength disappeared，his eyes grew dim（浑浊），and he knew nothing when the train pulled up.Two men threw him into the baggage car.

【分析】这是一篇文学作品类阅读，主要摘选自小说《野性的呼唤》，本文主要讲了主角Buck的悲惨遭遇．
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据This was because men，going through the Arctic（ 北极的）darkness，had discovered a yellow metal gold.And because shipping and transportation（运输）companies were advertising the discovery，thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.（这是因为人类在北极的黑暗中发现了一种黄色的金属——黄金。由于航运和运输公司大肆宣传这一发现，成千上万的人涌入北方。）可知，是因为他们可能会在那里发现黄金。故选B。
（2）细节判断题。根据On the night of Manuel's betrayal（背叛），no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields.（在Manuel被出卖的那个晚上，没有人诱骗他，Buck跟着他穿过田野。）可知，A选项"Judge的家人背叛了他，所以他悄悄地逃走了。"错误。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据Buck did not read the newspapers，or he would know that trouble was coming.（Buck没有读报纸，否则他会知道麻烦即将到来。）以及In fact，trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair.This was because men，going through the Arctic（北极的）darkness，had discovered a yellow metal gold.And because shipping and transportation（运输）companies were advertising the discovery，thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.These men wanted heavy dogs，with strong muscles（肌肉）for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.（事实上，每一个拥有温暖的长毛的强壮的狗都要遇上麻烦了。这是因为人们克服了北极的黑暗，发现了一种黄色的金属——金子。而且因为船舶和运输公司正在传播这一发现，成千上万的人蜂拥至北部。这些人需要有肌肉的强壮的狗为他们工作和厚外套以抵御寒冷。）可判断，Buck起初并不知道人们需要强壮的狗在寒冷的地方为他们工作。故选C。

13．（8分）A bat and a ball cost 1.10 in total.The bat costs 1.00 more than the ball.How much does the ball cost？
If you answered 10 cents，you are not alone ﹣most people give the same answer （the correct answer is 5 cents）.It's an example of how we often depend on intuitive responses（直觉反应）﹣answers we feel are true.People give answers that "pop into their mind，" says cognitive scientist Steven Sloman.We don't spend much time "reflecting and checking whether the answer…is right or wrong."
The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake（虚假的） news.It is part of human nature to believe，says Sloman.But "the trick with fake news is to know to verify"﹣in other words，to stop and check what you know.
In one experiment，Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain.They told a group of volunteers about it，but they did not fully explain what it was.They then asked the volunteers to rate（评等级） their own understanding of helium rain.Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7，meaning they didn't understand it.
The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery.This time，they said the scientists could fully explain how it works.The volunteers gave an average answer of 2.The scientists' confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding of it，Sloman says.
According to Sloman，studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion（接触传染）.This idea can be seen in many fields，including politics（政治）. "If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is dishonest，" Sloman Bays， "then you are going to start thinking that you understand，too."
So，in a world where misleading information is common，is there a way to protect ourselves？ "I don't think it's possible to train persons to check everything that they encounter（遇到），" Sloman admitted. "It is just too human to believe what you are told."
However，training people to care about fact﹣checking is important，he argued，especially in online communities.Think of the headlines and stories that are shared on your social media feed every day.Probably these fit in with your own worldview﹣but perhaps not all of them are true.
"We should check things and not just take them at face value，" Sloman said， "Make sure if it is true before you believe."
（1）The writer uses the example of the bat and ball question to show that C .
A.people often forget skills that they have learned at school
B.there is often more than one possible answer to a question
C.many people give quick responses without thinking carefully
D.people sometimes are too careless to get the right answers
（2）The word "verify" in Paragraph 3 probably means " A ".
A.to make sure whether something is true
B.to think about something for a long time
C.to express an opinion about something
D.to describe the details about something
（3）More volunteers said they could understand helium rain after C .
A.some of the volunteers explained it to them
B.Sloman and his colleague showed them how it works
C.they heard that scientists could explain it confidently
D.they examined the conclusion carefully by themselves
（4）What does the writer probably agree？ D
A.It is important to do an experiment based on scientific research.
B.The second group of volunteers are more confident than the first.
C.People can be cheated easily because of too much fake news.
D.People should be trained to check before they believe something.
【分析】这篇短文通过具体事例讲述了科学家们的发现：人们经常依赖直觉做出反应，而不会花很多时间反思和检查答案是对是错。在现在这样一个网络时代里，培训人们核查事实是很重要的。
【解答】（1）C细节理解题。根据第二段"It's an example of how we often depend on intuitive responses（直觉反应）﹣answers we feel are true.People give answers that "pop into their mind，""这是我们经常依赖直觉反应的一个例子﹣我们觉得真实的答案。人们给出的答案"会在脑海中闪现"，可知作者用球拍和球的例子告诉我们：人们依赖直觉给出答案，而不会认真思考答案是否正确。故选C。
（2）A词义猜测题。根据语境"But "the trick with fake news is to know to verify"—in other words，to stop and check what you know."，in other words"换句话说"，是解释前面这个词的，后面意为"停下来检查你所知道的"。故选A。
（3）C细节理解题。根据第五段"This time，they said the scientists could fully explain how it works.The volunteers gave an average answer of 2.The scientists' confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding of it，Sloman says.""这一次，他们说科学家可以完全解释它是如何工作的。志愿者给出的平均答案是2。斯洛曼说，科学家们的信心让志愿者们对自己的理解有了更多的认识。"可知，当研究者们说科学家能解释氦雨的时候，很多志愿者觉得自己对氦雨的理解程度增加了。故选C。
（4）D理解推断题。根据短文中"However，training people to care about fact﹣checking is important，he argued，especially in online communities….Make sure if it is true before you believe.""然而，训练人们关心事实核查是很重要的，他认为，尤其是在网络社区。先确定是不是真的再信。"可知，我们应训练人们在相信某事之前先进行事实调查。故选D。

Understanding other people has made me a better person
As is known to all，everyone is a special unity that has his own mind and story.When facing the similar circumstances，they may make different choices.Every decision we make and every action we do make us be a different person from others.So it is very important to understand others especially when we get along with other people.【高分句型一】（点题，生活中应理解他人）
There are several reasons.First，understanding can avoid quarrels among people.If we put ourselves in other people's shoes，we can understand others better，which can avoid misunderstandings that may break other people's heart.Second，understanding is also a self﹣cultivation.Everyone has their own difficulties，which means that we can't impose our minds on other people.（为什么要理解他人）

12．（8分）Buck did not read the newspapers，or he would know that trouble was coming.
In fact，trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair.This was because men，going through the Arctic（ 北极的） darkness，had discovered a yellow metal gold.And because shipping and transportation（运输） companies were advertising the discovery，thousands of men were rushing into the Northland.These men wanted heavy dogs，with strong muscles（肌肉） for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.
Buck lived at Judge Miller's house in the sunny﹣kissed Santa Clara Valley.There were big stables（马厩），long grape fields，fruit gardens and a big swimming pool.Buck ruled over the whole kingdom.Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life.He protected the Judge's sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks.On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire.He was king﹣ ﹣king over everything，crawled（爬行的），walked，or flew at Judge Miller's place，including humans.
Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897，when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North.But Buck did not read the newspapers.He did not know that Manuel，one of gardener's helpers，was not to be trusted.Manuel loved to gamble（赌博）.He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure.
On the night of Manuel's betrayal（背叛），no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields.Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk.They arrived at a little train.A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them.Manuel tied a price of thick rope around Buck's neck.Buck accepted it quietly.To be sure，it was unwanted，but Buck had learned to trust men he knew.
However，when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands，he barked.Then the rope tightened（ 收紧） painfully，his tongue hanging out of his mouth.Then his strength disappeared，his eyes grew dim（浑浊），and he knew nothing when the train pulled up.Two men threw him into the baggage car.
（1）Why were thousands of men rushing into the Northland？
A.Because they could live a better life there.
B.Because they might discover gold there.
C.Because they could find the dogs they needed there.
D.Because they wanted to enjoy the beautiful views there.
（2）Which description about Buck is NOT true according to the story？
A.The Judge's family betrayed him so he ran away quietly.
B.He had lived in Judge Miller's house since he was born.
C.Life before the autumn of 1897 was enjoyable for him.
D.Manuel could take him out of Miller's house because he trusted Manuel.
（3）The trouble Buck didn't know at first is that .

D.the turning point of Buck's life
13．（8分）A bat and a ball cost 1.10 in total.The bat costs 1.00 more than the ball.How much does the ball cost？
If you answered 10 cents，you are not alone ﹣most people give the same answer （the correct answer is 5 cents）.It's an example of how we often depend on intuitive responses（直觉反应）﹣answers we feel are true.People give answers that "pop into their mind，" says cognitive scientist Steven Sloman.We don't spend much time "reflecting and checking whether the answer…is right or wrong."
The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake（虚假的） news.It is part of human nature to believe，says Sloman.But "the trick with fake news is to know to verify"﹣in other words，to stop and check what you know.
In one experiment，Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain.They told a group of volunteers about it，but they did not fully explain what it was.They then asked the volunteers to rate（评等级） their own understanding of helium rain.Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7，meaning they didn't understand it.
The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery.This time，they said the scientists could fully explain how it works.The volunteers gave an average answer of 2.The scientists' confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding of it，Sloman says.
According to Sloman，studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion（接触传染）.This idea can be seen in many fields，including politics（政治）. "If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is dishonest，" Sloman Bays， "then you are going to start thinking that you understand，too."
So，in a world where misleading information is common，is there a way to protect ourselves？ "I don't think it's possible to train persons to check everything that they encounter（遇到），" Sloman admitted. "It is just too human to believe what you are told."
However，training people to care about fact﹣checking is important，he argued，especially in online communities.Think of the headlines and stories that are shared on your social media feed every day.Probably these fit in with your own worldview﹣but perhaps not all of them are true.
"We should check things and not just take them at face value，" Sloman said， "Make sure if it is true before you believe."
（1）The writer uses the example of the bat and ball question to show that .
A.people often forget skills that they have learned at school
B.there is often more than one possible answer to a question
C.many people give quick responses without thinking carefully
D.people sometimes are too careless to get the right answers
（2）The word "verify" in Paragraph 3 probably means " ".
A.to make sure whether something is true
B.to think about something for a long time
C.to express an opinion about something
D.to describe the details about something
（3）More volunteers said they could understand helium rain after .
A.some of the volunteers explained it to them
B.Sloman and his colleague showed them how it works
C.they heard that scientists could explain it confidently
D.they examined the conclusion carefully by themselves
（4）What does the writer probably agree？
A.It is important to do an experiment based on scientific research.
B.The second group of volunteers are more confident than the first.
C.People can be cheated easily because of too much fake news.
D.People should be trained to check before they believe something.
四、信息还原 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
14．（5分）（1） Now the old "been there，seen that" type is changing.Last year，experiential（体验式） travel was popular.Tourists looked for ways to get to know local culture and made themselves look like local people rather than outsiders.So what about this year？ （2）
Transformative（改造式） travel
Transformative travel is very much like "experiential travel"，but takes a step further.It usually takes three steps.Firstly，you go to a place with a different background. （3） And finally you return home and apply（运用） what you have learned to your life.This last step is the difference between the two types.
Visiting disappearing places
（4） Everett Potter，a USA Today writer，says that the South Pole（极） and the North Pole have both become popular places.Another popular place is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia，which might disappear in the near future.
Green Travel
Going green will be one of the most popular ways this year.One way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance（距离）. （5） Another way is to choose a place that will benefit（受益） the most from your trip.For example，places like Nepal will make a lot of money through the local tourist industry and develop quickly.

"The game requires you to be calm and patient.If you lose your temper when the tower falls，you may lose the chance to win."
Seventh﹣grader Wang set a record for the longest juggle（颠球）of a soccer ball with one foot.
He did it for 4 minutes and 34 seconds."I started to play soccer at 5 and have been practicing juggling for three or four years，so I'm confident I can do it well，"said Wang."Juggling with only one foot needs good balance and stability，which I'm good at.You also need to train hard for sure."
When asked if he was afraid that someone else would break his record one day，Wang said he was expecting that to happen."The charm of Guinness Campus is that we keep reaching higher goals.If someone breaks my record next year，I'll be even more encouraged to try harder finding more potential within me."
（1）Why did Beijing 101 Middle School hold the"Guinness Campus"？
（2）What qualities does the game Domino Tower need students to have？
（3）What project would you like to take part in if there is a"Guinness Campus"in your school？Why？

12．（8分）Buck did not read the newspapers，or he would know that trouble was coming.

Buck lived at Judge Miller's house in the sunny﹣kissed Santa Clara Valley.There were big stables（马厩），long grape fields，fruit gardens and a big swimming pool.Buck ruled over the whole kingdom.Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life.He protected the Judge's sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks.On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire.He was king﹣ ﹣king over everything，crawled（爬行的），walked，or flew at Judge Miller's place，including humans.

However，when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands，he barked.Then the rope tightened（ 收紧） painfully，his tongue hanging out of his mouth.Then his strength disappeared，his eyes grew dim（浑浊），and he knew nothing when the train pulled up.Two men threw him into the baggage car.

13．（8分）A bat and a ball cost 1.10 in total.The bat costs 1.00 more than the ball.How much does the ball cost？
If you answered 10 cents，you are not alone ﹣most people give the same answer （the correct answer is 5 cents）.It's an example of how we often depend on intuitive responses（直觉反应）﹣answers we feel are true.People give answers that "pop into their mind，" says cognitive scientist Steven Sloman.We don't spend much time "reflecting and checking whether the answer…is right or wrong."
The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake（虚假的） news.It is part of human nature to believe，says Sloman.But "the trick with fake news is to know to verify"﹣in other words，to stop and check what you know.
In one experiment，Sloman and a colleague invented a discovery called helium rain.They told a group of volunteers about it，but they did not fully explain what it was.They then asked the volunteers to rate（评等级） their own understanding of helium rain.Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7，meaning they didn't understand it.
The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery.This time，they said the scientists could fully explain how it works.The volunteers gave an average answer of 2.The scientists' confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding of it，Sloman says.
According to Sloman，studies show that knowledge spreads like a contagion（接触传染）.This idea can be seen in many fields，including politics（政治）. "If everyone around you is saying they understand why a politician is dishonest，" Sloman Bays， "then you are going to start thinking that you understand，too."
So，in a world where misleading information is common，is there a way to protect ourselves？ "I don't think it's possible to train persons to check everything that they encounter（遇到），" Sloman admitted. "It is just too human to believe what you are told."
However，training people to care about fact﹣checking is important，he argued，especially in online communities.Think of the headlines and stories that are shared on your social media feed every day.Probably these fit in with your own worldview﹣but perhaps not all of them are true.
"We should check things and not just take them at face value，" Sloman said， "Make sure if it is true before you believe."
（1）The writer uses the example of the bat and ball question to show that C .
A.people often forget skills that they have learned at school
B.there is often more than one possible answer to a question
C.many people give quick responses without thinking carefully
D.people sometimes are too careless to get the right answers
（2）The word "verify" in Paragraph 3 probably means " A ".
A.to make sure whether something is true
B.to think about something for a long time
C.to express an opinion about something
D.to describe the details about something
（3）More volunteers said they could understand helium rain after C .
A.some of the volunteers explained it to them
B.Sloman and his colleague showed them how it works
C.they heard that scientists could explain it confidently
D.they examined the conclusion carefully by themselves
（4）What does the writer probably agree？ D
A.It is important to do an experiment based on scientific research.
B.The second group of volunteers are more confident than the first.
C.People can be cheated easily because of too much fake news.
D.People should be trained to check before they believe something.
【分析】这篇短文通过具体事例讲述了科学家们的发现：人们经常依赖直觉做出反应，而不会花很多时间反思和检查答案是对是错。在现在这样一个网络时代里，培训人们核查事实是很重要的。
