21、ring the vast majority of our 300，000year human evolution(进化)，work was in fact pretty simple.We worked to eat and avoid being eaten.Meaning and purpose came from somewhere else，like spirituality，art，religion，or science.The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful is

22、a rather modern，if not postmodern，invention.Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday at a factory complain to their folks that they didnt earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complained they didnt experience a sen

23、se of purpose.Similarly，the idea that we ought to bring our “whole self” to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice.Its origins can be traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago.His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they i

24、dentify with their work role.Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day，without bringing their “whole self” to work.Work is just not a core aspect of their identity，and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother，husband，American，Christian，captain of

25、 the local soccer team，etc.Others，however，have very low psychological distance with their work role，seeing it as essentially intertwined(交融的) with who they are.They dont just come to work；they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs.They are，it seem

Some teachers use rewards in recognition of students effort or

33、rmance at work and school.Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, believe that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators.But the careful use of small mon

34、etary(金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in primary school children, suggesting that properly given stimuli(刺激) indeed encourage creativity, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging t

35、ask, they show the most creativity，” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark.“But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards.”A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for

36、ordinary achievement ends up with students lacking in creativity and motivation, Eisenberger says.As an example of the latter point, he particularly mentions growing efforts to tighten grading standards and adopt failing grades at major universities.In earlier grades, the use of rewarding system, in

37、 which students handle challenging problems and receive performancebased points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, Eisenberger claims.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了心理学家对外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。而教育工作者则认为适当的外部奖励刺激确实能激发创造力，但是如果给予表现不好的学生奖励则可能会扼杀创造力。12Psychologists are divided in t

38、heir attitudes toward Athe choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewardsBthe amount of monetary rewards for students creativityCthe relationship between actions and their consequencesDthe effects of external rewards on students performanceD细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Psychologists take opposing vie

39、ws of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity.(心理学家对外部奖励如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点)”可知，心理学家对外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。故选D。13Which of the following does NOT belong to examples of “external rewards”？ATom received a certificate for winning a speech competition.BMary was pra

40、ised by the teacher for making progress in English.CJacky made great efforts to enter a major university.DJohn was offered a free summer camp due to his hard work.C推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativit

41、y.(心理学家对外部奖励如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点)”可知，外部奖励包括表扬到现金。分析选项可知C选项“杰克努力进入一所重点大学。”并不属于“外部奖励”的例子。故选C。14Which of the following can best raise students creativity according to Robert Eisenberger?AAssigning them tasks they have not dealt with before.BAssigning them tasks which require creativity.CGiving them rewards

42、 they really deserve.DGiving them rewards they hope for.C推理判断题。根据第四段“If kids know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity，” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark.“But its easy to kill creativity by giving rew

43、ards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards.”(位于纽瓦克的特拉华大学的Robert Eisenberger说：“如果孩子们知道他们是为了奖励而工作，并且能够专注于一个相对有挑战性的任务，他们就会表现出最大的创造力。”“但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。”)提到孩子们是为了获得奖赏而从事一项具有挑战性的工作时创造力最强，而如果对那些表现不好的学生也给予奖赏则会扼杀创造力，可见Robert Eisenberger观点是给他们应得的奖励。故选C。15It can be

44、inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they think Arewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of studentsBpunishing students is more effective than rewarding themCfailing unmotivated students helps improve their academic standa

45、rdsDdiscouraging students expectation of easy rewards is importantA推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards.(但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。)”可知，如果一个老师对表现不好的学生也给予奖赏就会导致学生缺乏创造力，故从文章中可以推断，各个大学正试图提高他们的评分标准，是因为他们

46、认为奖励不好的表现可能会扼杀学生的创造力。故选A。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)Beginning with Chinese efforts to explore and connect with Central Asia，the Silk Road consisted of massive small routes and was named after the silk cloth the Chinese produced. 16 Through these routes，Chinese silk，porcelain，lacquer work and ironwa
