Every time we scan the cafeteria for a table that will fit all of our friends, were exercising the ancient estimation center in our brain.Stanislas Dehaene was the first researcher to show

11、 that this part of the brain exists. In 1989, he met Mr. N who had suffered a serious brain injury. Mr. N couldnt recognize the number 5, or add 2 and 2. But he still knew that there are “about 50 minutes” in an hour. Dehaene drew an important conclusion from his case: there must be two separate mat

12、hematical areas in our brains. One area is responsible for the math we learn in school, and the other judges approximate amounts.So what does the brains estimation center do for us? Harvard University researcher Elizabeth Spelke has spent a lot of time posing math problems to preschoolers. When he a

13、sks 5-year-olds to solve a problem like 21+30, they cant do it. But he has also asked them questions such as, “Sarah has 21 candles and gets 30 more. John has 34 candles. Who has more candles?” It turns out preschoolers are great at solving questions like that. Before theyve learned how to do math w

14、ith numerals and symbols, their brains approximation centers are already hard at work.After we learn symbolic math, do we still have any use for our inborn math sense? Justin Halberda at Johns Hopkins University gave us an answer in his study. He challenged a group of 14-year-olds with an approximat

15、ion test: The kids stared at a computer screen and saw groups of yellow and blue dots flash by, too quickly to count. Then they had to say whether there had been more blue dots or yellow dots. The researchers found that most were able to answer correctly when there were 25 yellow dots and 10 blue on

16、es. When the groups were closer in size, 11 yellow dots and 10 blue ones, fewer kids answered correctly.The big surprise in this study came when the researcher compared the kids approximation test scores to their scores on standardized math tests. He found that kids who did better on the flashing do

17、t test had better standardized test scores, and vice versa (反之亦然). It seems that, far from being irrelevant, your math sense might predict your ability at formal math.1、From the first two studies, we can learn that estimation center _.Ais divided into two separate mathematical areasBcan help figure

In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the histo

29、ric feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic reasonswhy they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new bui

30、lding is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does

31、not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic ar

32、eas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before

33、, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.1、What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?ASome of them are not attr

34、active.BMost of them are too expensive to preserve.CThey are more pleasing than modern buildings.DThey have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.2、Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?AWe should reproduce the same old buildings.BBuildings should not dominate their surrou

35、ndings.CSome old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.DNo one understands why people speak against new buildings.3、By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_”.Adestroy old buildings Bput things in a different placeCchoose new architectural style Drespect peopl

36、es feelings for historical buildings4、What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo explain why people dislike change.BTo argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.CTo warn that we could end up living in caves.DTo admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.24（8分）You may th

37、ink that the story of Pygmalion (卖花女, 1913) - in which people are judged by the way they talk - is something that only existed in the days of British high society. But thanks to etiquette (礼仪) expert and author William Hanson, we realize that little has changed during the past 100 years.In a BBC rad

38、io program, Hanson released a list of common words used in British English that could reveal whether a person is “common” or “fashionable”.And yet here comes the interesting part: While some of us might go through life using fancy words, dressing in ways that make us appear more well-off than we rea

39、lly are, there are wealthy people in the world who try to hide their riches because they want to be seen as “normal” instead of “showy”.Beatrice, for example, is a New Yorker who inherited (继承) millions of dollars. She told The New York Times that she has a habit of removing the price tags (价签) from

40、 her clothes so her house staff dont see them and feel uncomfortable.“We dont want that Wow.” said Scott, also a New Yorker, who had just inherited over $50 million. “Were just not the type of people who wear it on our sleeve.”1、What does William Hanson find?APeople failed to judge others manner.BPe
