9、life. BArchitecture is amazing. It has changed the way I look and interact with the world and my environment. It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive (过度敏感) to the built environment, to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye would never notice. As much as I love this profession,

10、 it is very easy to get lost in architecture. I get so focused that I have forgotten about everything else. Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane (清醒的) while I was becoming an architect. I faced a lot of obstacles and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States. Looking back, cyc

11、ling across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did. I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice; East to west. Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean, both times. Bicycling across America isnt as hard as you think. I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Be

I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America, but only to share how doing this has cha

14、nged my life. Architecture has given me a wonderful life and career but it isnt everything. Thankfully I have also been very passionate about: my friends,traveling, bicycles ,punk rock, technology, the internet, my dog, and even yoga. My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationsh

15、ip with all those things. Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit, but you should keep pursuing everything else that you are passionate about. It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person, which in my opinion is really more important than being another

In the last paragraph, the author reminds us to _. A. take up the pursuit of becoming an architectB. find what

19、 we are really passionate aboutC. appreciate other peoples good intentionsD. avoid our career taking over other pursuitsCA human heart is so much more than an organ. No one says they left their pancreas (胰 腺) in San Francisco, for example, or that two kidneys (肾脏) beat as one. Yet most of us believe

20、 that two hearts can beat as one, and that the heart reveals our real emotions. Now theres some evidence that such folk wisdom is true. When people listen to the same storyeach alone in their own hometheir heart rates rise and fall together, according to a new study published last month in Cell Repo

21、rts. Professor Lucas Perra, a senior author of the study, said, “Its the story that drives the heart. ”This finding corresponds with a mountain of research showing that our brains synchronize (同步) when we interact in the same location or participate in the same activity. The new study goes one step

22、further; it tests whether our heart rates become synchronized while taking in the same narrativeeven though were not in the same room nor even listening at the same time as other listeners. Marcel Proust wrote at the turn of the 20th century, “the heart does not lie. ” Data tells us much the same: T

23、he hearts connection to the brain is so tight that when we hear the same story, our heart rates synchronize. Subjects in the same group produced synchronized heart rate patterns that rose and fell at roughly the same times during the narrative. The results are“heartwarming,”said Prof. Perra. “Heart

24、rat correlation (关联) between subjects does not require them to actually be interacting, or even be in the same place. Its not the interaction between people but the story itself that does the trick. ”The point, he said, is that when we listen to the same radio program or watch a Netflix show, our he

25、arts beat together, showing that “were not alone. ”28. What does the underlined expression “folk wisdom”refer to in the first paragraph?A. Kidneys beat like hearts. B. Hearts are important organs. C. A human heart conveys feelings. D. Organs have close links with emotions. 29. What can we learn from

26、 the new study in Cell Reports?A. People like listening to the same story in separate places. B. Humans brains synchronize when driven by different stories. C. People tested in the same group have the same heart rates. D. The same story can make listeners have the same heart rates. 30. Whats the aut

27、hors purpose of writing this article?A. To report a research finding. B. To argue against an opinion. C. To tell readers a moving story. D. To call for immediate action. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Way Human Hearts WorkB. The Same Story, the Same HeartbeatC. T

28、he Hearts Connection to BrainD. The Importance of Heart Rates DHow much time do you spend doing research before you make a big decision? There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice, and it is certainly possible to overthink things. But a fair number of individuals a

29、re quick to jump to conclusions. Psychologists call the latter a mental bias (偏见). In this case, the error is making a call based on the least of evidence. A research by Carmen Sanchez, a professor at the University of Illinois, and David Dunning, a professor at the University of Michigan, has found

30、 that hasty judgments are often just one part of larger error-prone patterns in behavior and thinking. These patterns have costs. People who tend to make such jumps in their reasoning often choose a bet in which they have low chances of winning instead of one where their chances are much better. To

31、study jumping, researchers did an experiment to examine decision-making patterns among 600 people from the general population. They applied a thinking game, in which players encountered someone who was fishing from one of two lakes: in one lake, most of the fish were red; in the other, most were gra

32、y. The fisher would catch one fish at a time and stop only when players thought they could say which lake was being fished. Some players had to see many fish before making a decision. Othersthe jumpersstopped after only one or two. Participants were also asked questions to learn more about their tho

33、ught patterns. It was found that the fewer fish a player waited to see, the more errors that individual made in other types of beliefs, reasoning and decisions. So what is behind jumping? Researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic, known as system l, which reflects i

34、deas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort; and controlled, or system 2, consisting of effortful reasoning that is analytic, mindful and intentional. It was found that jumpers and non-jumpers were equally influenced by automatic thoughts. The jumpers, however, did not engage

35、 in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers. It is system 2 thinking that helps people counterbalance mental biases introduced by system 1. A lack of system 2 thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning. In everyday life, the question of w

36、hether we should think things through or instead go with our heart is a frequent and important one. Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake. Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a c

37、hoice. 32. What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. Overthinking things is a mental bias. B. Evidence is a necessity for judgments. C. Jumping results from a wish to win a bet. D. Jumpers have a tendency to a mental mistake. 33. What can we learn from the experiment?A. Jumpers caught mor

38、e fish than non-jumpers. B. Non-jumpers gave quicker answers than jumpers. C. Non-jumpers tended to see more fish before naming the lake. D. People who saw fewer fish made fewer mistakes in reasoning. 34. According to the passage, in which situation is system 2 engaged more?A. After comparing differ

39、ent brands and models, David purchased a car. B. On hearing that the Apollo moon landings were faked, Mia believed it. C. Seeing the dirty windows of a restaurant, Mary decided its food was bad. D. When picking a doctor, Jim merely accepted the recommendation from a friend. 35. What does the author

40、intend to tell us?A. To reflect on our thought patterns regularly. B. To think twice before we make our decisions. C. To realize the consequences of faulty reasoning. D. To adopt two pathways of thought before acting. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

42、igher pollution levels developed brain diseases and showed signs of neuro problems. In a more recent study from the journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, researchers found that cats with breathing problems were more likely to live in households with higher indoor air pollution. Air purifiers have

43、 been brought into use in recent years. They work to remove harmful chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other environmental pollutants from the air. 37 But are they safe for pets? How can we ensure that they arent harming our furry friends? 38 The physical safety of using a mech

44、anical device around pets is what we have to pay attention to. Air purifiers come in various shapes and sizes, from small desk-top units to large, free-standing models. In terms of physical harm, there is an existing risk of our pet becoming trapped in the electrical wire of our air purifier. Air pu

45、rifiers are designed to be used in the home around children and their internal mechanisms should also be safe from small tails of our pets and other parts of their bodies. 39 Whether the air purifier improves or damages the health of our animals is also something we have to consider. The air purifie

46、rs are safe for pets, but only if they do not produce any ozone (臭氧) byproduct. 40 We should always stay away from the ones that produce even minimal quantities. We are always on the safe side by picking a standard air purifier with the classic 3-stage filtration (过滤) system of a pre-filter, HEPA fi
