Lab experiments have shown risky behavior drops steadily as people grow from children into adults. But reallife data show a different pattern: Adolescents take more risks and are also more likely to be injured or die as a result of such behaviors.To resolve why teens behave this way, Wouter van den Bos and Ralph Hertwig, two German psychologists, employed 105 people, all from 8 to 22 years old. All were made to spin a wheel. The wheel was divided into 10 equalsized wood blocks. Some were orange, while others blue. If the wheel stopped spinning on an orange block, the participants won or lost money. This could be between 3 and 32 euros. But if the wheel stopped on a blue one, they got nothing. Meanwhile, the five euro option, a guaranteed win, was provided.The researchers designed trials like this: in half of the trials, the orange and blue blocks were visible around the entire wheel, and in the other trials, part of the wheel was covered and thus participants had no idea how likely they were to win. As more of the wheel was covered, the risks of spinning became more and more ambiguous.Teens were more likely to spin the wheel, even when much of it was covered, van den Bos and Hertwig found. Children and adults, however, avoided those ambiguous situations. Instead, they chose the guaranteed reward in these trials.“In the teenage years, theres much to explore and to learn by exploration,” van den Bos says. Many experiences are new, he notes, and teens dont know how theyll turn out. “Many of these situations arent dangerous and are helpful in becoming an independent adult. So in general, this seems to be a good attitude to have.” he concludes.28. What inspired the two psychologists to conduct their study?A. A steady drop in teens risky behavior. B. Teenagers tendency to make decisions. C. More deaths caused by risky behaviors. D. Adolescents adventurous behaviors.29. What would happen when the wheel stopped spinning on the orange blocks?A. The participants would be rewarded nothing.B. The researchers would choose some other participants.C.The researchers would end the trial. D. The participants would either win or lose money.30. What was the children and adults preference in the trial?A. They took risky decisions. B.They chose the five euro option. C. They spun the wheel harder. D. They changed the way of spinning.31. What does van den Bos think of teenagers attitude toward uncertainty?A. It is unchangeable. B. It makes sense. C. It is natural. D. It is harmful.DOn Nov.24, near Yellowstones northeast entrance, Spitfire. a female grey wolf, was shot and killed by a hunter as she approached a group of cottages.It was a legal harvest. Abby Nelson, a wolf management specialist said. The circumstances are obviously a little bit harder for people to stomach, but that pack has showed signs of habituation (习惯). They just stand there and have no fear. Wolf hunters can easily pick the one they want. The carefree relation that some Yellowstone wolves have built with humans is reportedly attractive for hunters who look for an easy kill.In the wake of yet another famous Yellowstone wolf meeting a violent end outside the park, officials are actively rethinking, how to manage wildlife habituationSmith, a wolf biologist for Yellowstone says, “Now we re thinking of pounding them. Park officials might use fireworks, and paintball or beanbag guns when they approach humans in the park. If you get close to people, youre going to get attacked.If you think this sounds cruel, youre not alone. Seeing these creatures from the roads that wind through the park not only allows tourists to witness something amazing. but also to reconnect with nature in a way that is better than any conservation campaign. But theres also a growing sense that the present policy of doing nothing isnt workings: more wolves will needlessly die and the broken record of hunters scoring easy kills will goon. As Smith adds. urging people to keep wolves wild when meeting them halfway is a big ask. Sill, hes hopeful to preserve the worlds best place to observe free ranging wolves; its a policy change that tourists can be involved in. “.Perhaps Spitfires death will accomplish some good and well all come together to a better job on managing crowds and roads and wolves in Yellowstone, Smith said.32. What was the main reason for the death of Spitfire?,A. The nature of grey wolves. B. Park officials carelessnessC. Wildlife habituation. D. The cruelty of the hunter.33.

Keep away from wolves. B. Avoid meeting grey wolves.C.Be more friendly to wolves. D. Force wolves away from them.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. The wolves in Yellowstone are out of control. B. illegal wolf -hunting in Yellowstone is going on.C. The wolves in Yellowstone are living in harmony with humans. D. Yellowstone considers attacking wolves to protect them. 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。As we can see, everyone seems to rush in their life, but you dont have to be like that. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can limit your time spent on your mobile phone, and if necessary, power it off. Your environment doesnt control your life you do. Im not going to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. 36_ Try to do less. Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Concentrate not on quantity but on quality. 37 Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus. Have fewer meetings. 38 And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush. Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you dont have to rush from one meeting to another. 39 When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that dont get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?Practice being comfortable with doing nothing. One thing Ive noticed is that when people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable. They want their mobile device because standing and waiting is a waste of time. Instead, try just sitting there, looking around, soaking in your surroundings. Try standing in line and just listening to people around you. 40 Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed. A.Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”. B.Avoid rushing to appointments or other places. C. It takes practice, but youll do it with a smile after a while. D.The world likely wont end if you dont pass one of the examinations. E. Pick no more than 3 important things or just even one, and work on those first. F. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life. G.Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Among the parents who came to watch their childrens daily training in the gymnastics camp was a famous actress.
