11、their behinds. The lions will think their intended prey has seen them and will give up, since theyve lost the element of surprise.This psychological trickery has been called “iCow”, which is actually not as strange as it sounds. The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to prevent preying b

12、irds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear masks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a village in Botswana, when two lionesses were killed by local farmers to revenge their cattles death. The Afric

13、an lion is a vulnerable species, with numbers dropping from over 100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today. Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.“Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise. T

14、hey move slowly, quietly and carefully to their prey, get close and jump on them unseen,” he said. When Jordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day, he noticed the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study, painting ey

15、es on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the cattle returned each night, they took a head count to see how many had survived. Only three cows were killed by lions during this period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds. And all the painted cows survived. However, Jordan warned that so f

16、ar this is just a promising idea. He is now back in Botswana for a more ambitious study, armed with GPS devices to better monitor the movement of predators and prey.1、The iCow strategy is designed to .Akill the lions Bwarn the preys of dangerCidentify the cattle Dscare off animals that kill2、When hu

18、more lions.DNeil got inspiration from patterns on butterfly wings.22（8分）Statistics often sounds like a dry subject, but sometimes its necessary to take a statistics course to get the correct answer to this problem. Take the following case for example: a football scout (球探）hears of a player who has p

19、owered his team to a good win-loss record. His coaches think hes one of the most talented players theyve seen. But the scout is unimpressed by the one practice game he sees him in; he tells his manager its not worth trying to recruit (录用）the player.Most sports fans would think that was a pretty fool

20、ish decision, right? Athletic performance is much too variable to base an important judgment on such a small sample. But consider this problem: an employer gets an application from a junior executive (主管人员）with an excellent college record and strong references from his current employer. The employer

21、 interviews the applicant and is unimpressed. The employer tells his colleagues that its not worthwhile recruiting him.Most people regard this as a reasonable sort of decision. But it isnt. Countless studies show that the unstructured 30-minute interview is virtually worthless as a predictor of long

22、-term performance by any criteria that have been examined.In both cases, predictions based on references-school reports, prior performance, letters of recommendation-give a 65-75% chance of choosing the better of the two.Why do we get the athletic problem right and the employment problem wrong? Beca

23、use in the case of the job, unlike for athletic performance, we havent seen hundreds of candidates in interviews of a particular type and seen how well performance in the interview corresponds to ultimate (最终的）performance in the setting were concerned about. We havent seen that the guy who looks lik

24、e a fool in the interview turns out to be clever on the job and the guy who does well in the interview turns out to be average. The only way to see that the interview isnt going to be worth much is to be able to apply the “law of large numbers”，which assists the recognition that an interview represe

25、nts a very small sample of behavior.The bottom line: theres safety in numbers. The more recommendations a person has, the more positive the outcome is likely to be for the employer. Consider the job interview: its not only a tiny sample, its not even a sample of job behavior but of something else en

26、tirely. Psychological theory and data show that we are incapable of treating the interview data as little more than unreliable gossip. Its just too compelling (强迫性的）that weve learned a lot from those 30 minutes.My recommendation is not to interview at all unless youre going to develop an interview p

27、rotocol (体系),with the help of a professional, which is based on careful analysis of what you are looking for in a job candidate. And then ask exactly the same questions of every candidate. Its harder to develop such a protocol than you might guess. But it can really pay off.1、The cases in the first

28、two paragraphs are meant to_.Aillustrate the influence of fansBshow the weaknesses of scoutsCattach importance to interviewsDintroduce the topic of the passage2、The author believes that _.Athe setting in the job interview is too artificial to be convincingBa successful candidate usually uses tricks

29、to cover his real charactersCa small sample is not enough to make a generalized judgement of a candidateDthe number of candidates hasnt satisfied the requirements for a job interview3、What is the best title for the passage?AHow employees are selectedBWhere statistics are availableCWhy job interviews

30、 are pointlessDWhen recommendations are needed23（8分） Our home galaxy(星系), the Milky Way, makes for a pretty space picture, and it looks normal at a distance. But a new 3D map reveals a surprise:_.The Milky Way is a spiral(漩涡型的) galaxy, in which stars and gas clouds exist mainly in its spiral “arms”.

31、 Our massive neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy(仙女座), is also spiral. Spiral galaxies usually appear very flat and easy to see through a telescope, said the researchers.Using 1,339 large, pulsating(脉冲的) stars to make a 3D map of the Milky Way, researchers discovered instead that the galaxys disk of star

32、s is increasingly twisting，most likely due to the spinning of the disk. And the farther the stars are from the center, the more twisted it becomes.Previously, astronomers saw evidence of hydrogen clouds becoming warped(弯曲的) in the Milky Way. This isnt completely abnormal, because astronomers have no

33、ticed the same pattern of progressively twisting spirals in about a dozen other galaxies. But it does help them make more sense of our galaxy.Because we live in this galaxy, that makes it harder to observe, and dust and starlight make it even more difficult when using telescopes. Trying to determine

34、 what our galactic center looks like is similar to trying to find the center of a forest youre standing in.“It is extremely difficult to determine distances from the Sun to parts of the Milky Ways outer gas disk without having a clear idea of what that disk actually looks like,” lead study author Xi

35、aodian Chen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing said in a statement.From afar, the Milky Way appears like a thin rotating(旋转的) disk of stars, orbiting the center every few hundred million years. In the center, hundreds of billions of stars and dark matter hold the galaxy together.But as yo

36、u move toward the outermost reaches of the galaxy, the gravitational glue of the center fades. In the outer disk, this keeps hydrogen gas from being restricted, which contributes to an S-shaped warping.“Somewhat to our surprise, we found that in 3D our collection of 1339 stars and the Milky Ways gas

37、 disk follow each other closely. This offers new insights into the formation of our home galaxy,” Richard de Grijs, senior study co-author and professor at Macquarie Universitys Department of Physics and Astronomy, said in a statement. “Perhaps more importantly, in the Milky Ways outer regions, we f

38、ound that the S-like stellar(星的) disk is warped in a progressively Twisted spiral pattern.”So the massive inner disks rotational force causes the outer disk to warp, the researchers concluded.“This research provides a crucial updated map for studies of our galaxys stellar motions and the origins of

39、the Milky Way,” said Licai Deng, co-author and senior researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in a statement.1、Which of the following might be the missing sentence in the first paragraph?AThe Milky Way is being warped and twisted by its stars.BThe Milky Way is spiral and orbiting itself all t

40、he time.CThe formation of our home galaxy is due to the force of gravity.DThe origin of the Milky Way lies in its rotational force.2、What does the underlined “this” refer to?Athe Milky WayBthe gravitational glueCthe fading of gravityDthe outermost reach of the galaxy3、Which of the following is true

41、according to the passage?AThe galaxy we live in is unique for its special spirals.BThe stars in the center of the Milky Way are more twisted.CThe distance from the sun to other stars is already known to scientists.DThe rotation of its inner center forces the Milky Way to twist.4、What is the signific

42、ance of this finding?AIt reveals why the Milky Way is a flat and spiral galaxy.BIt leads to a breakthrough of using 3D technology in space research.CIt proves a previous way of observing the Milky Way while we are living in it.DIt contributes to our knowledge about the Milky Way.24（8分）They follow yo

43、u in the street. They ask you for money and they dont leave you alone when you try to say no. They are the aggressive street-working, fund-raising charity workers, otherwise known as “chuggers”.The term “chugger” is a combination of two words, “charity” and “mugger”. Chuggers often work in the stree

44、t. They set up a stall with information about the charity they represent, and they try to get you to donate money to the charity. Typically, they prey on your feelings of guilt, greeting you with questions such as, “Do you care about the planet?” or, “When was the last time you did something for som

45、eone else?”But a survey of their strategies has found that some charity volunteers are far from charitable. “Many chuggers simply refuse to back off when asked to do so, said Brian Jones, a spokesperson for a charity watchdog (监察人). “One of the problems is that some chuggers say they are working as

46、volunteers,” he added. “However, they arent really. Most of the 50 chuggers we spoke to showed little interest in anything other than raising the maximum amount of cash in the minimum amount of time. They get paid from this so it makes sense. Also, a fifth of fundraisers had no visible ID and almost

47、 a quarter failed to give clear information about the cause they were representing. By employing chuggers who break the law, tell lies or refuse to leave members of the public alone, charities undermine the trust we all instinctively have in them.”But Shirley Bosworth, chief executive of the Institu

48、tion of Fundraising, said face-to-face fundraising remains “an appropriate and effective method”. “It enables charities to engage with a particular demographic of donor, and it means that charity and donor can enter into a dialogue about what the charity does and how the donors money will be used,”

49、she explained.1、What do chuggers do according to the passage?AThey rob money of strangers.BThey cheat you into buying things.CThey ask you to donate money for charities.DThey hurt your feelings by asking questions.2、Whats the third paragraph mainly about?AThe survey of charity volunteers.BThe proble

50、ms with charity volunteers.CThe basic information about charity volunteers.DThe attitude Brian Jones takes toward charity volunteers.3、What does the underlined word “undermine” may probably mean?AbetrayBstrengthenCbuildDweaken4、How does Shirley Bosworth feel about what chuggers do?AIts useful. BIts

51、disgusting.CIts absurd. DIts popular.25（10分） Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss i

52、s stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend pr

53、ograms, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of

54、 a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide

55、 whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you dont realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people arent taught that emotion is a choice. And they arent taugh

56、t how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to

57、 what shows up in your external world.1、Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?ATo lead to the topic of this passage.BTo complain about imperfect life.CTo show common problems in life.DTo encourage people to change the outside world.2、How does the author prove his opinion?ABy givin

58、g examples.BBy doing an experiment.CBy telling a related story.DBy comparing other peoples opinions.3、What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?ATo step out of negative emotions.BTo pay attention to our internal world.CTo share our real emotions with others.DTo use different methods

59、 to change bad emotions.4、What does the author want to express through the passage?AOur external world matters a lot.BOur emotions can affect our health.COur internal patterns truly decide our emotions.DOur experiences have a great influence on our emotions.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从
