FigureFigure 1 1: The climber has two routes she could take, one to the left and one to the right. The left one appears easier because it has a

He began working with a speech therapist (理疗师) when he wa
18、s 6 years old, but it was his decision to try out for debate team at the end of seventh grade that helped him most. “That experience changed my life,” he wrote after his team went on to nationals. “It gave me hope, and helped me see my own true potential.” Since he launched MynameMystory last year,
19、the site has attracted national and even international attention. Amits mom said her sons website is meant to send a message that no one is alone in their experience, showing how people overcame their challenges and how others can, too. “The big thing that clicked in Amit was the belief that people
20、are really needed (to help each other) in this country,” she said. “I wasnt surprised he wanted to do this, because at such a young age he had this spirit in him.” In addition to the website, Amit also wanted to expand the idea of sharing stories. So he asked his friends and classmates to donate boo
21、ks to distribute to local hospitals. He hoped to collect perhaps 1,000, but in just two weeks, he received more than 2,300 donations. “There was an absolute connection between the website and books,” Amit said. “But books are something that can really make a difference to someone who is in the hospi

Those who shared their stories on the website will be invited to speak and encourage others to share their stories of overcoming challenge

C C Scientists say we are all born with a talent for mathematics. Every time we scan the cafeteria for a table that will fit all of our friends, we
27、re exercising the ancient estimation center in our brain. Stanislas Dehaene was the first researcher to show 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 “abou
28、t 50 minutes” in an hour. Dehaene drew an important conclusion from his case: there must be two separate mathematical areas in our brains. One area is responsible for the math we learn in school, and the other judges approximate amounts. - 6 - So what does the brains estimation center do for us? Har
29、vard University researcher Elizabeth Spelke has spent a lot of time posing math problems to preschoolers. When he asks 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 c
30、andles?” It turns out preschoolers are great at solving questions like that. Before theyve learned how to do math with 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
31、at Johns Hopkins University gave us an answer in his study. He challenged a group of 14-year-olds with an approximation 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 yell
32、ow dots. The researchers found that most were able to answer correctly when there were 25 yellow dots and 10 blue ones. 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 appro
33、ximation test scores to their scores on standardized math tests. He found that kids who did better on the flashing dot 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. 29. From the fi
34、rst two studies, we can learn that estimation center _. A. is divided into two separate mathematical areas B. can h elp figure out numerals and symbols problems C. functions independently in both kids and adults brains D. works better when symbolic parts are injured or undergrown 30. What most surpr
35、ised Justin in the study of 14-year-olds? A. The variety of math abilities in different students. B. The link between technology skills and estimation skills. C. The difficulty of the task as the number of dots increased. D. The connection between estimation skills and formal math ability. - 7 - 31.
36、 What could be the best title for the passage? A. Born with a Sense of Math B. Go beyond What You Can Learn C. Symbolic Math and Estimation Math D.

37、n the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to oper
38、ate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isnt leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. Its hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to c
39、hange our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated. While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars (and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can h
40、elp reduce traffic jams, cut emissions (排放) and offer more convenient and affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared. Do we want to copyor even worsenthe traffic of today with driverless ca
41、rs? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set

The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transportan unwelcome side effect researchers have already found i
43、n ride-hailing (叫车) services. - 8 - A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure
44、 (基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues (责任与维
45、护问 题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesnt extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation syste

The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it. 32. According to the author, attention should be paid to how
47、 driverless cars can _. A. provide better services to customers B. help deal with transportation-related problems C. cause damage to our environment D. make some people lose jobs 33.

49、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。 Why Do We Get Angry？ Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering (触发) events, personality traits (特征), and our assessment of situations. 36 Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approach
