阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Over millins f years humans have respnded t certain situatins withut thinking t hard. If ur ancestrs sptted mvement in the nearby frest, they wuld run first and questin later. At the same time, the ability t analyze and t plan is part f what separates us frm ther animals. The questin f when t trust yur instinct (直觉)and when t think slw matters in the ffice as much as in the savannah(草原).
Slw thinking is the feature f a well-managed wrkplace. Yet instinct als has its place. Sme decisins are mre cnnected t emtinal respnses and less t analysis. In demanding custmer-service r public-facing situatins, instinct is ften a better guide t hw t behave.
Instinct can als be imprved. Plenty f research has shwn that instinct becmes mre unerring with experience. In ne well-knwn experiment, vlunteers were asked t assess whether a selectin f designer handbags were real r nt. Sme were instructed t perate n instinct and thers t deliberate(深思熟虑)ver their decisin. Instinct wrked better fr thse wh wned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it utperfrmed analysis. The mre expert yu becme, the better yur instinct tends t be.
Hwever, the real reasn t embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. It is ften the nly way t get thrugh the day. T take ne example, when yur inbx flds with new emails at the start f a new day, there is abslutely n way t read them all carefully. Instinct is what helps yu decide which nes t answer and which t delete r leave unpened. Fast thinking can als help the entire rganizatin. The value f many managerial decisins lies in the simple fact that they have been made at all. Yet as data expldes, the temptatin(诱惑)t ask fr ne mre bit f analysis has becme much harder t resist. Managers ften suffer frm verthinking, turning a simple prblem int a cmplex ne.
When t use instinct in the wrkplace rests n its wn frm f pattern recgnitin. Des the decisin maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emtin matters mre than reasning? Abve all, is it wrth delaying the decisin? Slw thinking is needed t get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way t stp deliberatin turning t a waste f time.
21．What des the underlined wrd “unerring” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Accurate.B．Creative.C．Cntrllable.D．Obvius.
22．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Managers can affrd the cst f slw thinking.
B．Fast thinking can be a bst t wrk efficiency.
C．Slw thinking will hld us back in the lng run.
D．T much data is t blame fr wrng decisins.
23．What is the authr's purpse f writing the passage?
A．T explain hw instinct wrks.
B．T cmpare instinct and slw thinking.
C．T highlight the value f instinct in the wrkplace.
D．T illustrate the develpment f different thinking patterns.

Accrding t a new study， teens fcus n rewards and have a hard time learning t avid punishment r cnsider the cnsequences f alternative actins.
University Cllege Lndn researchers cmpared hw teens and adults learn t make chices based n the available infrmatin. They tracked the way in which 18 vlunteers aged 12-17 and 20 vlunteers aged 18-32 cmpleted tasks in which they had t chse between abstract symbls.
Each symbl was cnsistently assciated with a fixed chance f a reward, punishment, r n utcme. As the trial prgressed ， participants learned which symbls were likely t lead t each utcme and adjusted their chices accrdingly. Teens and adults were equally gd at learning t chse symbls assciated with reward， but teens were less gd at aviding symbls assciated with punishment. Adults als perfrmed significantly better when they were tld what wuld have happened if they had chsen the ther symbl after each chice， while teens did nt appear t take this infrmatin int accunt.
“Frm this experimental lab study we can draw cnclusins abut learning during the teen years. We find that teens and adults learn in different ways， smething that might be relevant t educatin," said lead authr Dr. Stefan Palminteri. " Unlike adults, teens are nt s gd at learning t adjust their chices t avid punishment. This suggests that incentive systems based n reward rather than punishment may be mre effective fr this age grup. Additinally, we fund that teens did nt learn frm being shwn what wuld have happened if they made alternative chices."
T interpret the results the researchers develped cmputatinal mdels f learning and ran simulatins （模拟）applying them t the results f the study. The first was a simple mdel, ne that learned frm rewards, and the secnd mdel added t this by als learning frm the ptin that was nt chsen. The third mdel was the mst cmplete and tk the full cntext int accunt, with equal weight given t punishment avidance and reward seeking. Fr example, btaining n utcme rather than lsing a pint is weighted equally t gaining a pint rather than having n utcme.
Cmparing the experimental data t the mdels, the team fund that teens" behavir fllwed the simple reward-based mdel while adults" behavir matched the cmplete, cntextual mdel. “Our study suggests that teens are mre receptive t rewards than they are t punishments f equal value, ” said senir authr Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemre. “As a result, it may be useful fr parents and teachers t frame things in mre psitive terms.”
24. It can be learned frm the study that .
A. adults made chices faster than teens
B. adults understd rewards better than teens
C. teens reacted better t reward than punishment
D. teens were aware f the utcme f each chice
25. What d we knw abut the three cmputatinal mdels?
A. They reflected peple’s strng desire fr punishment avidance.
B. They gave circumstances different degrees f cnsideratin.
C. They paid equal attentin t reward and punishment.
D. They shaped the behavir f peple at different ages.
26. The underlined wrd “receptive" in the last paragraph prbably means .
A. Accustmed B. ppsed C. Sympathetic D. respnsive
27. Accrding t the writer, which f the fllwing statements wrks best fr teens?
A. “If yu insist n ding things in this way， yu will lse ten pints. "
B. “If we had talked abut this earlier， yu wuldn’t have made the mistake. "
C. “ If yu hand in yur assignment ahead f time， yu will get an extra bnus."
D. “If yu want t apprach a prblem differently ， yu can talk t yur parents. "

A few days ag, my husband, Russ, and I lst ur huse f 28 years t a Califrnia wild fire.
On that night, we had t leave ur huse and sleep in the back seat f ur Frd. The next mrning, we had t drive three and a half hurs t find a htel that had an available rm. Only later, in the lcal newspaper, did we see phtgraphs f the destructin. Our huse had been cnsumed by the fire alng with mst f ur neighbrhd.
Hw are we ging t rebuild after this? I thught, runding a crner in the sidewalk n my walk back t the htel. Is it even pssible?
I nticed smething up ahead—a pair f nickels, shining like precius jewels. They were just nickels, but they smehw felt special. I bent dwn and picked them up. If these were lucky cins, I culd use all the luck I culd get.
A few days later, I made a trip t the stre t buy essentials. The enrmus task f replacing everything we’d lst put a heavy weight n me. I was abut t leave when I felt the urge t stp and turn my head t the right. I culd hardly believe it—there n nickela shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is mre than luck, I thught and put the nickel in my pcket.
I tld myself that I had fund the nickels just by chance. Then I fund ne next t my plate at a restaurant—n Thanksgiving, n less, when I was missing ur huse mre than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted.
Whenever I reached my breaking pint, I’d find anther nickel. In the grass at the park, r near the tire f my car in a parking lt. Once, my change fr a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “I’m srry,” the cashier said. “It’s all we have.”
It’s all I needed!
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phne rang. It was a real-estate agent I’d been wrking with.
“I have a new listing,” she said.
“When can we see it?”
A few hurs later, Russ and I were fllwing the agent dwn the driveway tward the huse.

Lts f animals play. But the behavir is best knwn in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. Nw the scientists at Lndn’s Queen Mary University reprt that bumblebees (大黄蜂) knw the same thing. But befre this, there were n reprts f insects playing.
Dr. Lars Chittka began t wnder if bumblebees played during an earlier test. In that test, Chittka guided bumblebees t mve balls int a gal fr fd. He nticed that sme bees were rlling (滚动) balls even when they weren’t given fd. He wndered if they were playing.
T test the idea, the scientists at his lab set up a new test. First, they numbered 45 yung bumblebees between ne and 23 days ld. The numbers let them fllw bumblebees’ behavir. Then, they set up a clear pathway frm the bumblebees’ hme t a feeding area. On either side f the pen pathway, the researchers placed small clred wden balls. On ne side f the path, the balls culdn’t mve. On the ther side, the balls culd rll arund. Fr three hurs a day, ver 18 days, the scientists pened the pathway between the hme and the feeding area. The bumblebees never had t leave the pathway t find fd, but they left anyway. They weren’t interested in the side where the balls didn’t mve, but they made lts f visits t the side with the rlling balls.
Catching the balls with their legs, the bees wuld mve their wings t pull n the balls, causing them t rll. The 45 numbered bumblebees did this 910 times during the test. Thugh sme nly did it nce, thers did it a lt. The yunger nes liked t spend mre time rlling balls while the lder nes shwed less interest in it. One bee was recrded rlling balls 44 times in a single day. One was seen rlling balls 117 times ver the whle test.
The test raises imprtant questins abut hw the insects’ minds wrk and whether they have feelings.
32．What did Chittka want t d abut bumblebees in the earlier test?
A．Discver if they played.B．Train them t mve balls.
C．Make them learn t relax.D．Find ut if they’d share fd.
33．What did the scientists d t bumblebees befre the new test?
A．They named each f them.B．They let them interested in balls.
C．They had all f them g hungry.D．They marked them ne by ne.
34．What can we say abut the lder bumblebees’ behavir in the new test?
A．They held their attentin fr lnger.B．They understd simpler numbers.
C．They were less active in rlling balls.D．They helped the yung pull n balls.
35．What’s the best title fr the text?
A．Bumblebees Are First Insects Knwn t PlayB．Tw Tests Prve Bumblebees Expect t Play
C．Bumblebees Are the Wrld’s Smnartest InsectsD．Scientists Make Bumblebees Wrk fr Them

28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“On that night, we had t leave ur huse and sleep in the back seat f ur Frd.(那天晚上，我们不得不离开家，睡在福特的后座上。)”可知，野火过后，他们是在车上过了一夜。故选A。

34．细节理解题。根据第四段的“The yunger nes liked t spend mre time rlling balls while the lder nes shwed less interest in it.(较小的蜂喜欢花更多的时间滚球，而较大的对此兴趣不大)”可知，在滚球的这个活动中，较大的蜂不如小的蜂活跃。故选C项。
