They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real rea

12、son lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed

13、 a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researc

14、hers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.

There are gaps in everyones schedule where they arent doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where y

19、ou arent working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.Why arent you completely efficient? Its because time isnt the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions. Instead, people, even those who are highly produ

20、ctive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when youre tired, you can have ample time and still

21、not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy pe

22、ople can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason its hard to “find time” isnt a lack of time. Its because you dont have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.I first suspected time wasnt the real problem during an extreme

23、ly busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily-to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in

24、fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone.

28、me two paintings by the Dutch master, more than 14 years after they were ripped (扯) off the museums wall in a nighttime theft. Museum director Axel Rueger called their return “one of the most special days in the history of the museum”. The paintings were discovered last year by Italian police while

29、they were searching an Italian criminals farmhouse near Naples for evidence of drug dealing. They were in a box and hidden behind a wall in a toilet when they were found.The paintings were considered among the artworks most searched for in the world. After years in darkness, they can now shine again

30、. They are back on display at the museum before being taken to the conservation studio for repair. Fortunately, they suffered surprisingly little damage as thieves who had climbed up a ladder and broken a window to get into the museum in 2004 ripped them out of their frames.“It is not only a surpris

31、e that the works have been recovered but its even more surprising they are in relatively unharmed condition,” Rueger said.The museum director was on vacation when the call came last year from Italian authorities who believed they had recovered the paintings. He didnt celebrate right away. Hed had ca

32、lls like this before.“I was hopeful but also a little hesitant. Over these years, we had so many occasions when people phoned us, contacted us, claiming that they knew something about the whereabouts (下落) of the works and each time it was false, the trace went cold,” he said. “So the way has been fu

33、ll of disappointment.” But museum experts sent to Italy to check the authenticity (真实性) of the works quickly turned Ruegers doubts into delight.Rueger said the paintings are now back at the museum, which is home to dozens of works by Van Gogh. “Im very confident that everything is safe in the museum

34、 from now on,” he said.1、How were the stolen paintings found?AThe police found them by accident.BThe arrested thieves gave information.CSome drug dealers offered clues.DThe police knew the hidden place.2、What surprised Rueger most about the lost paintings?AThey were stolen at night.BThey were found

After the speech, I was asked to see a special student. An illness had kept the boy at home, but he had expressed an interest in mee

37、ting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed. He was Matthew. When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter, and I knew

38、about overcoming obstacles(障碍) and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain(抱怨). He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. He knew what he was talking about. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted

39、to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstaclesthan I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and h

40、anded it back to me. He said, “You are a champion(冠军). You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I got the news that Matthew had died and a letter Matthew had written me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you

41、 a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. The doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you some day I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now Ill never make it. But I know Im a champion, and God knows that too. Wh

42、en I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew1、The boy wished to meet the writer because .Ahe wished to take part in the OlympicsBhe admired the author very muchChe hoped to make friends with the authorDhe enjo

45、day in 1995, a large, heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didnt wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler

46、stared in disbelief. “But I wore the juice，” he said. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink, so, as long as he didnt come near a heat source, he should have been completely invis

47、ible.The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people

48、 mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”，and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever exper

49、iments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these co

50、gnitive tasks always overestimated how well they didby a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!Sure, its typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do th

51、ey reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester-long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams if given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, t

52、he poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man(1871): “Ignorance more

53、 frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities. As much as D- and F-grade students overestimate their abilities, A-grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust

54、 their self-assessment if given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.1、Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger effect is TRUE?AThe effect is true for everyone in daily life.BIt suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.CSome people are overconfident

55、about their abilities.DThe conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.2、What do the college students behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove?AFeedback plays a significant role in estimating ones ability.BIncompetent people have a rather fixed attitude towards their choice.CGood stu

56、dents always predict their future performance accurately.DPeople cant rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.3、The underlined word “begets” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_”.Agives rise toBtakes advantage ofCmakes up forDbreaks away from4、What can we infer from the passage?AReal kno

57、wledge is knowing the extent of ones ignorance.BIt is impossible for people to evaluate their real competence.CIllusion of confidence is the major source of peoples failure.DThose with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选
