Experts involved in the study said that looking at brain activity while making a decision,they could predict the choices the subjects would make, before they realized that they had made a decision. Lead researcher John-Dylan Haynes, a neuroscientist (神经学家)at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, said that the new findings called into questions for “consciousness”of decisions that people make, and might even challenge ideas as to how“free”people are to make a decision at a particular moment.“We think our decisions are conscious, but these data show that consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg,”Nature magazine quoted (引用) him as saying. Thinking the results“quite dramatic”, Frank Tong of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said that 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity. During the study, the brains of 14 volunteers were imaged as they performed a decision-making task. The subjects had two buttons before them, each to be operated by a different hand, which they could press when they felt the urge to. They were simultaneously (同时地)shown a stream of letters, which appeared on a screen at half-second intervals (间隔). The volunteers had to remember which letter was showing when they decided to press their button.Upon analysis of the data, the researchers realized that the earliest signal they could catch started seven seconds before the volunteers reported having made their decision. Given the delay of a few seconds in the imaging, they reckoned (估计) that the brain activity could have begun about ten seconds before the conscious decision. The researchers showed that the signals were picked up from a region (区域)called the frontopolar cortex (脑额极皮层),which is located at the front of the brain, immediately behind the forehead.While writing about the observations made during the research in his study report, Haynes said that the frontopolar cortex might be the brain region where decisions are started. He also showed that the next step in the research would be to speed up the data analysis so as to enable his team to predict peoples choices as their brains would make them. 1. The passage tells us that _.A. we are aware of our whole process of decision-makingB. people dont make decisions until they realize itC. experts have no way to tell what decision one will makeD. the decision-making process starts before it is made2. The underlined word “subjects”in Para. 2 probably refers to _.A. the topic of the experts research paperB. the scientific subjects that the experts were studyingC. the things that experts dont know clearlyD. the volunteers that the experts worked on for their research3. The underlined sentence“consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg”in Para. 4 means that _.A. our decision-making is consciousB. the data contains a lot of information besides consciousnessC. consciousness is the major part of the dataD. 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity4. The final purpose of the research _.A. is not stated clearly in the passage B. is not acknowledged by expertsC. is to show where decision-making starts D. is to analyze the data picked up5. The passage implies that _.A. the research has been completedB. the research was conducted by two expertsC. the decision-making process lasts only about 10 secondsD. we may predict what decisions people will make in the future 【参考答案】14、DDBA 【天津市2014高考英语六校第三次联考试题】C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。I carry a Rubiks Cube (魔方) in my backpack. Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter. I usually ask people to try it first. They just turn the cube over in their hands, not even knowing where to begin. Thats exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read. Letters and words were out of order. Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic.The Rubiks Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward. This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade. Its embarrassing to admit, but I still couldnt always spell my full name correctly. As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in whats called “language-processing disorder”, I had to start over. I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my districts high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence. Now, I can easily solve the 555. I discover that just before it is solved, a problem can look like a mess, and then suddenly you can find the solution. Early in my Rubiks career, I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it. I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places. The Rubiks cube taught me that to accomplish something big, it helps to break it down into small pieces. I learned that its important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections and patterns. I believe that there are surprises around the corner.Like life itself, the Rubiks cube can be frustrating puzzle. So everyday I carry a Rubiks cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals, no matter what obstacles I face. 46.

Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs（殉道者）. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.51. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they_. A. are ready to change their minds B. cant exercise control over themselves C. dont have the power to face their fate D. are easily affected by windy weather52. Losers would think that_. A. success is the result of hard work B. their failure is only because of bad luck C.working hard will lead to success D. they dont make efforts to succeed53. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that_. A. setting our expectations is essential before taking action B. developing confidence is the key to future success C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind D. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes 54. The last paragraph serves as_. A. the proof of the authors points B. an introduction to another topic C. the conclusion of the argument D. a comparison between two views55. Which is the best title for the text? A.Develop our confidence.B. The secrets of success. C. Success is a choice. D. How to achieve success.【参考答案】5155 BBDCC【云南省昆明市2014一模试卷】 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My son David, who was 3.5 years old, taught me a beautiful lesson today. After we finished playing with the beads (珠子) , David slowly picked up each bead, looking at it as if it were made of chocolate and then put it into the box they were stored in. With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting impatient. Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in? My morning was going to be ruined today!But then it hit me like a brick. I noticed that he did this with as much interest as he had while we were playing. The boy was enjoying the whole process. For him the fun was in the game itself as well as in the process of properly packing up and cleaning up. It was not just about his turn or the fun part. Every bit was as fun as the other.I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket (板球). If I was not batting
