26、l,all the time.We might miss a call with a client because of an emergency work meeting,or miss that meeting because another project has suddenly become urgent.And then we (or our families) get sick,and we have to shift priorities around again.These unsystematic failures are benign,though.They reflec

27、t that all of us have limited resources.There simply is not enough time,energy,or money,to do everything you want to do all the time.Part of being a responsible adult is learning to make trade offs: balancing your conflicting goals and trying to get as much done as you can in the time you have.The t

28、hing you really need to watch out for is the systematic failure.The systematic failure happens when theres a particular goal you want to achieve,but never get to.The causes of systematic failures usually boil down to some combination of these three factors:1.Short-term pressures versus long-term goa

29、ls.Most of us prefer to achieve pressing short-term goals rather than put time into long-term projects.Lots of research suggests that our brains are wired to prefer tasks that pay off in the short term rather than those whose benefit is long-term.The people who do manage to accomplish their long-ter

30、m goals create regular space to make progress on them.2. Without even realizing it,we often do what is easiest to accomplish rather than what we say is most important.Email is a great example.If you are like most people,you keep your email program open at work all day. Consequently,each new message

31、is an invitation to drop what you are working on to check it.It feels like work and its much easier than finishing that 100-slide presentation.Simply shutting off email for a few hours a day can remove this source of distraction from the environment.3.Working for too long.Many workplaces create pres

32、sure to stay at the office for more and more hours,which (paradoxically) creates opportunities for systematic failures.Work is not an iron man competition where the last person there wins.Most people have an optimal（最佳的）number of hours they can work each day.For example,I can be productive at work f

33、or about 8-9 hours a day.If I spend any more time at work than that,then at some point,I start doing fake work.The next time you run into trouble,assess whether its an unsystematic failure or a systematic one.When you notice a systematic failure in your life,you need to make a change in your behavio

34、r.If you dont make a change,you will continue to fail.Finally,if you experience a lot of unsystematic failures,it might be worth rethinking the number of tasks you are taking on.Perhaps you need to offload some responsibilities onto someone else,before you start experiencing more systematic failures

35、.56.Who was most probably affected by the first factor?A.Andy who put his keep-fit plan aside due to a lack of free time.B.Sarah who worked overtime till the next morning to finish her work ahead of time.C.Philip who missed an important appointment because he has been under the weather lately.D.Emil

36、y who kept her social networking platform on all day to receive updates about friends.57.Which of the following could fill in the blank as a subtitle?A.The truth about important goals.B.Environments that are bad for our goals.C.The easiest goals that often bring us little.D.Ways to remove the source

37、 of distraction.58.What is the main idea of the passage?A.How to distinguish systematic failures from unsystematic failures.B.When you should worry about failure and when you shouldnt.C.What to do to save yourself from constant systematic failures.D.Why assessing failures you have encountered is imp

38、ortant.BThe ability to speak more than one language certainly has its special benefits.It enables you to work in another country or interact with people whose language is different from your mother tongue.Cognitive（认知的） psychologists have been interested in how bilingualism（双语能力）shapes the mind for

39、almost a century.There are those who suggest that in order to speak one language,bilinguals have to suppress（抑制）the influence of the other.In the past three decades,research had argued that this unique form of language processing trains the brain in the use of abilities known as executive（执行的）functi

40、ons such as ignoring irrelevant information or shifting attention. Bilinguals of different ages and cultural backgrounds have been shown to be faster and more accurate than their monolingual（单语的）peers when performing cognitive tasks demanding these abilities.Furthermore,it has been argued that bilin

41、gualism may lead to a delayed onset（发作）of symptoms associated with dementia（痴呆）.But the scientific community recently has become increasingly skeptical of the bilingual advantage.One of the main points of criticism is that differences between monolinguals and bilinguals when it comes to executive fu

42、nctions are not always apparent.It appears that research on bilingualism is at a turning point.We need to pursue a new approach to understand,beyond those individual examples of executive functions,how the bilingual mind works. We have attempted to address this challenge by testing whether bilingual

43、s and monolinguals differ in terms of how accurately they can assess their own performances.This ability is called meta cognition and is associated with other areas where bilinguals have been shown to have an advantage.In our research,we presented participants with a situation in which they had to o

44、bserve two circles on a screen and guess which one contained more dots.Sometimes the difference was obvious,making the decision easy,while at other times the decision was very difficult (for example,one circle contained 50 dots and the other 49).Participants were then asked to determine how confiden

45、t they were in their decision on a scale from less to more confident than normal.During the course of two experiments,we found that bilinguals and monolinguals were equally likely to choose the circle containing the highest number of dots.However,monolinguals were better able than bilinguals to disc

46、riminate between when they were right and when they were wrong.In other words,bilinguals had less insight into their performance than monolinguals.This went against our initial predictions,as we expected to find a bilingual advantage in meta cognitive processing.These results indicate that bilingual

47、ism may be associated with cognitive disadvantages as well as benefits.59.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that nowadays the scientific community_.A.has denied the special benefits of bilingualismB.has changed its way to understand how the bilingual mind worksC.thinks there is almost no difference betw

48、een monolinguals and bilingualsD.tries to prove whether monolinguals have more advantages than bilinguals60.How is the last paragraph mainly developed?A.By analyzing causes. B.By describing a process.C.By following time order.D.By making a comparison.61.What is the authors attitude towards bilingual

49、ism? A.Supportive. B.Doubtful. C.Objective.D.Ambiguous.CAt first glance,price-comparison websites are an example of capitalism at its best.But it has caused fierce competition on price and eviscerated profits.Towers Watson,a consultancy,said that unnecessary price competition following the rise of c

50、omparison sites in Britain had cost insurers 1 billion a year.Consumers should celebrate that;the firms losses are their gains.But there is a catch.Comparison sites introduce a new layer of costs,including their own advertising campaigns.In theory,competition in the market for comparison sites ought

51、 to keep those costs down.But David Ronayne of Warwick University argues that consumers often lose out from comparison sites.They earn a commission for each shopper who uses them for consumption such as buying insurance.That referral（委托）cost is included in the price the consumer ends up paying.If th

52、e increased costs outweigh the saving the comparison enables,consumers end up worse off.These worries are not just theoretical.In 2014,Britains competition regulator found that many comparison sites were using their contracts with retailers（零售商）to ban them from offering lower prices elsewhere.That w

53、eakened rivals incentive（对手的动机）to cut fees,because prices on their site could not fall.By keeping prices similar,the contracts also reduced the incentive for consumers to search on multiple sites,thus helping sites retain their users.Weaker incentives to lower commissions mean weaker incentives to l

54、ower costs,too.That might explain why comparison websites advertise so heavily,and sometimes offer free gifts to those who use them.In a recent paper,Ben Edelman of Harvard Business School and Julian Wright of the National University of Singapore argue that when a site knows that the prices merchant

55、s provide through it will always be the lowest available,it increases investment in attracting customers,safe in the knowledge that the merchants and at last consumers will bear the cost.Is there any way to ensure the market for price comparison is competitive?Asking consumers to check multiple webs

56、ites defeats the point of using them.One solution is to have only one site,but regulate it as a public utility（功用）. Alternatively,the governments could run the site itself.But creating good search and comparison sites may be too hard for them.It is much better to acknowledge that consumers will alwa

57、ys have to do some comparison themselves to keep the system honest.Websites that compare the comparison sites can help,although it is easy to see how they could fall prey to the same problems.Any firm with captive users（被动用户）,be it a comparison site a search engine,or a social-media platform,can cha

58、rge a high price for access to the eyes of its customers.For all their innovation,Internet middlemen are not unlike supermarkets.Shoppers would never imagine that a single store had the lowest price for all the items they need.62.According to the first two paragraphs,price-comparison websites_. .A.w

59、ill offer smart consumers the best dealsB.will bring insurance firms increased profitsC.can help keep the costs of insurance firms downD.may raise the price that consumers pay for their purchases63.Current comparison sites tend to put most of their efforts in_. A.lowering commissions B.contracting w

60、ith retailersC.attracting consumersD.cutting operating costs64.According to the last two paragraphs,the author probably agrees that_. A.its desirable to have only one comparison site and have it run by the governmentB.its advisable that comparison sites with captive users charge a high price for its

61、 serviceC.consumers should check multiple comparison sites before making a purchasing decisionD.websites that compare the comparison websites can help to build a competitive market65.The passage mainly conveys the idea that comparison sites_. A.create an effective channel for smart consumersB.are co

62、mpetitions friends and enemies at the same timeC.offer win-win deals between consumers and retailersD.have caused a new form of competition among retailersDDespite the general rule for quiet demanded by libraries,theyve been the subject of some fairly significant noise. Childrens Laureate（儿童桂冠作家）,Ch

63、ris Riddell,along with eight former Childrens Laureates,has written an open letter to Justine Greening,the British Secretary of State for Education,demanding an investigation into school library service closures（关闭）.Why should parents or pupils be concerned whether or not school libraries close?Are

64、they surely just mausoleums（陵墓）to the paper-bound past?Or are they rooms that are of little use to todays Internet-connected student population,who have access to a world of books and information through their digital devices?Quite simply,school libraries,as well as their librarians,are critical to

65、our childrens future.Research has proved this to be the case.The level of development of a school library is a highly accurate predictor of academic success,which means that parents should perhaps go so far as to compare the libraries of the schools they are considering,rather than look at league ta

66、bles,when seeking the right schools for their children.Chris Riddell and his fellow former Laureates are absolutely right to emphasize the importance of librarians in introducing children to life-changing books and turning them into lifelong readers.Reading is a skill that needs to be developed.Libr

67、arians play the crucial role of introducing pupils to different genres or authors,as well as encouraging children of varying abilities to readfrom the reluctant readers to those with higher than average reading ages.However,if libraries were to have a job description,cultivating a love of reading an

68、d promoting literacy（误写能力）is just one of their essential roles.The other role is,to be at the very centre of learning,a resource,for students to use in acquiring knowledge.Ultimately,as students get older they need to become increasingly experienced readers for information,as well as,hopefully,for p

69、leasure.They need to be able to find out and access,through reading and understanding,the answers to their questions themselves.Independent learning skills are very much in demand by pupils and parents,as well as universities and employers,because real education is about so much more than just acade

70、mic success or grades on a piece of paper.As Mary Beard,Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge,pointed out,the simple truth is that we cant teach all that we would like them to know.The emphasis therefore must now be on teaching children how to learn for themselves.Talking of libraries

71、,we would always focus on the collection of books and the dissemination（传播）of knowledge to aid learning.Therefore surely,it makes sense that if libraries are given the right status and adequate resources,they will play a vital role in the development of these much-needed independent learning skills.

72、This has never been more important than in todays information age,when everything we need to know is only a few clicks away.Libraries and librarians should be central in helping pupils understand how to access data or knowledge for their studies or interestsregardless of whether this is from a book

73、an online resource or a journal.It is equally important that libraries guide students on how to read the information that is available to thema vitally important skill given that the Internet contains a large amount of mistakes and misinformation.But,of course, libraries can only offer this support

74、and guidance if they are properly valued and resourced,which means that we need as many voices as possible to be shouting about the importance of libraries in the education of our children.Chris Riddell is encouraging children to ask their teachers where their school library is.Perhaps parents also

75、need to be asking their current and prospective schools about the same question.Lets make the noise far louderit needs to be uncomfortably deafening（震耳欲聋的）.66.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Schools have realized the importance of libraries.B.More rules should be established

76、for libraries.C.Libraries are not quiet any more.D.Libraries have been a hot topic.67.According to the passage,it has been confirmed that_. A.libraries are almost useless to todays Internet-connected studentsB.libraries can reflect the academic success of schoolsC.parents have begun to prioritize li

79、gh being taught by others.D.Real education is about learning independently rather than about academic success.70.In the last but one paragraph,the author thinks that_. A.libraries may be a source of false informationB.students ability to obtain information is vitally importantC.libraries should teac

81、 recognition as a way for universities overseas to evaluate Chinese students,”recruiting officers said.Stanley Nel,vice-president of international relations at the University of San Francisco in the United States,who is responsible for the universitys admissions from China,said he had had several in

82、quiries from US universities about how to recruit Chinese students on the basis of their gaokao scores.The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) have long been two musts for students from other counties,including China,to apply to study in the US. USF,a

83、 private university in California,started a pilot program to accept Chinese students based on their gaokao scores in 2015.The idea came from USF President Paul Fitzgeralds belief that standardized tests like the SAT are not very good predictors of how well students will do at the university.We are a

84、ware of the many criticisms that have been made of the gaokao,but it has the advantage of being what educational experts call a criterion-referenced exam: It tests whether students are able to master a given body of knowledge,he said.Currently,at least four higher education institutions in the US ar

86、from China requested an interview with USF last year.74 of them were selected for a follow-up interview,44 received offers and 20 accepted the invitation and joined USF for the 2015 fall semester.
