He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart.As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much clarity (清晰的思维) as to what Id do with 1 million or 10 million more money flowing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, fulfillment, exploration, relationships, etc. that I find it difficult to intelligently imagine how more financial resources could provide extra fuel for that, except in small ways or in ways that arent particularly meaningful to me.Lately Ive been considering what it would be like to deliberately reduce my ine for a while and see if I could live on much less, just for the experience. What if I capped my net personal ine at $10,000 per year, for instance? That isnt such a big deal to me, though, since I already went through a period of low ine like that during the 1990s, and I learned that I could still do what I love regardless of ine.Ive never worked in a business environment the only job Ive ever had was working for $ 6/hour in a video game store while I was in college. So Ive never seen how larger operations allocate resources. Thats probably why I havent pushed myself to acquire more. As I mentioned in my book Money and Your Path With a Heart, my main financial goal in life was to make money irrelevant in my life.Im not interested in building an empire. What interests me is exploring personal growth and sharing what I learn along the way. In some ways I feel that acquiring and allocating more resources could bee a big distraction. Im already doing what I want to be doing, so why risk distracting myself to acquire more resources, especially when I lack the idea about how I should treat such resources? I like having freedom and flexibility, and I dont really see how more resources would meaningfully improve that.21. Why did the man email the author? A. To ask the author to fuel his path.B. To lend some money to the author. C. To share his opinion about wealth.D. To urge the author to earn more money.22. Which of the following can describe the authors personality?A. Optimistic and devoted.B. Independent and cooperative.C. Unfortunate but positive.D. Wealthy but hardhearted.23. What does the underlined word “capped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Increased B. SpentC. LimitedD. Distributed24. The following are true EXCEPT _.A. the author might be a professional writerB. the author is good at designing video gamesC. the author is interested in exploring his personal growthD. the author might be a person who likes sharing his knowledge BIf youre secretly worried about your smartphone addiction, then the new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. Its the perfect smartphone fort it looks and feels exactly like a smartphone, but it does nothing. Its just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently a prototype (模型) that will cost merely $12 once it hits the market. Its makers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover production and marketing costs. They describe the device as a “technology-free alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world”.Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he regarded the idea as a joke along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhones of their own. So thats when the three friends decided to turn to Kickstarter to fund for mass production.The NoPhone is 5.5 inches high, 2.6 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, bringing it quite close to the latest smartphone on the market. The Kickstarter slogan is quite amusing to read. Theyve mentioned things like “battery free”, “no upgrades necessary”, and “waterproof”. Their FAQs address the most important question: “Is this a joke?”, to which their answer is, “No.”“Phone addiction is real,” they insist. “And its everywhere. Its ruining your dates. Its distracting you at concerts. Its disrupting you in cinemas. Now, there is a real solution.” “With a thin, light and pletely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a rectangle of smooth, cold plastic to hold without giving up any potential engagement with your direct environment. Never again experience the unsettling feeling when closing your hand.”If yourre interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies(自拍) anymore, dont worry. The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when theyre standing right behind you.25. From the second paragraph, we can infer that .A. NoPhone is a little more expensive than an ordinary smartphoneB. the makers want to raise money to improve their technologyC. NoPhone has not been on the market at presentD. the users of NoPhones can stay away from the real world26. With NoPhone in your hand, you .A. dont need to use other phones when talking to othersB. will no longer feel upset when you are closing your handC. will give up any potential engagement with your direct environmentD. can take photos of yourself wherever you are27. What is the passage mainly about?A. A new kind of smartphone called NoPhone which needs no battery. B. The popularity of the latest smartphones on the market.C. The general introduction of the most popular smartphones in the world.D. A will-be popular phone-shaped device which can cure smartphone addiction.C For years, there has been a prejudice against science among clinical psychologists (临床心理学家). In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments which are given the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatmentsthe tools of psychologybring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldnt know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker from the University of Wisconsin, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice(诊所) found that they rely more on their own and colleagues experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path despite the fact that insurance panies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”28. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because_.A. they are unfamiliar with their patients B. they believe in science and evidenceC. they rely on their personal experiences D. they depend on their colleagues help29. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchC. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments30. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed. B. They doubt their treatments.C. They are disappointed. D. They try to defend themselves.31. According to the passage, what is Mischels attitude towards psychology?A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.D Public transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is being less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city. That is despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment. Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outpeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more fortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether. The petition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered “e-bikes”, both of which are spreading. Transport agencies should accept the upstarts, and copy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error. It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and fort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.32. What is the change in public transport in big cities?A. It is being busier.B. It is getting less popular.C. There are fewer traffic delays.D. There is more new transport.33. In the authors opinion, the reason for the decline of public transport is that _.A. there are roadworks and broken signalsB. people are being healthier and employedC. cars and bikes are more and more availableD. transport agencies are seemingly less petitive34. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?A. By giving examplesB. By providing research resultsC. By stating argumentsD. By paring different approaches35. According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is _.A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyoneB. to build a platform that appeals to public transportC. to provide people with more means of transportationD. to cater for both traditional networks and technology firms 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文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。A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you._36_ Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system.
