21、According to a recent study, children explore more than adults and it helps them learn better than grown-ups. The study notes when adults attempt something new but get a negative result, they often won’t try it again.

Dr. Alison Gopnik, one of the co-authors, said “That might seem like the most basic kind of intelligence—even rats stay away from a path leading to a shock. The downside is that we will never learn the world is more complicated. Children, however, have intense curiosity and drive to explore and this helps them learn many different things and quickly.”

Together with NYU scientist Emily Liquin, Gopnik conducted a scientific experiment to test if young children’s drive to explore more than grown-ups influences the way they learn.

They gave 64 young children and 87 adults a game where each placed different blocks on a machine with one rule: If the machine lights up, they get a prize consisting of a star, but if the machine doesn’t light up, they lose twice as much. The goal of the game was to discover that all the blocks work except for the ones with white spots.

Most of the children were able to figure out the rule correctly, whereas more than 70% adults couldn’t, but it came at a cost: The children earned fewer stars.

The experiment shows adults often leap to faster conclusions, while children are more willing to explore and gather more information before they decide on a result.

The experiment only studied four to seven-year-olds compared to adults in the United States, noting more research is needed to generalize it to a broader population and context, according to the paper.

Gopnik concludes, “We grown-ups are often so anxious to exploit that we don’t explore, so afraid of losing stars that we miss the chance to learn something new. Children, however, are natural explorers, willing to sacrifice stars for the sake of information. We need both types of thinking to grow up, but adults might learn something from those curious kids.”

【1】Why did Gopnik mention rats in Paragraph 2?

A．To show adults’ avoiding bad results is understandable.

B．To compare whether adults are much cleverer than rats.

C．To tell us rats are appropriate subjects in experiments.

D．To suggest that rats are clever enough to choose safe paths.

【2】What do we know about the experiment?

A．It aimed to test if children have more drive to explore.

B．Most adults could understand the game rule correctly.

C．Children got better results than adults in the game.

D．It has some limitations and needs further research.

【3】What does Gopnik mean according to the last paragraph?

A．Adults’ way of thinking should be abandoned.

B．The two ways of thinking should be combined.

C．Children are better at getting information.

D．Adults should learn to think in children’s way.

【4】Based on the study, which of the following is desirable in educating kids?

A．Inspiring kids to explore regardless of risks.

B．Encouraging kids to be brave to try new things.

C．Motivating kids to draw conclusions quickly.

D．Teaching kids not to care about gains and losses.

22、Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: He knew everything. This was our relationship, in sum: I asked him questions and he told me the answers. When I moved out on my own, I called him at least once a week, usually when something broke in my apartment and I needed to know how to fix it: the toilet, the air-conditioning…

But then, eventually, I needed him less. I got married, and my husband had most of the knowledge I lacked about water heaters and nondestructive insect removal. For everything else, we had the Internet. I don’t know when it happened, but our conversations when I called declined to six words. Me: “Hi, Dad.” Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know.

Then, this past summer, my husband, our four kids, and I moved in with my parents for three weeks while our house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead at their dock (码头的舱壁). It was hard labor. But as we put the new bulkhead together piece by piece, my dad knowing exactly what went where, I looked at him. “How do you know how to build a bulkhead?”

The heavy mallet (木槌) he was swinging paused in midair. “I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey Shore.” “You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad—all his random jobs. I knew about the apple farm, the summer at the hot sauce manufacturing plant, and even the diner line-cook position, where he learned how to make the best omelet in the world. But I never knew this.

“Yep. Now let me teach you how to use this saw.”

As he explained the importance of not bending too low, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions.

A few weeks later, after my family and I moved back into our renovated house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweets,” he said. “Here’s Mom.” “Wait, Dad,” I said. “How are you?” We ended up talking about the consulting job he was working on, a new battery he’d bought for his sailboat, a refinance my husband and I were looking into to relieve our home loan. Nothing life-changing. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal conversation between a dad and his daughter.

But to me, it was novel. A new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to.

【1】Why did the author’s conversations with her dad become shorter over time?

A．She got married and didn’t have time to talk.

B．Her dad became less talkative as he got older.

C．She realized that her dad didn’t know everything.

D．She felt that she needed less help from her father.

【2】What did the author find while living with her parents this past summer?

A．Her father was quite talkative.

B．Her father was keen on making things by himself.

C．She didn’t know as much about her father as she had thought.

D．She didn’t notice her father was aged and needed her assistance.

【3】Why did the author call her dad after she moved back into her renovated house?

A．To learn more about her father’s past experiences.

B．To catch up and try to have a normal conversation.

C．To ask for help with more household repairing tips.

D．To thank him for letting her and her family stay with him.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A．DIY with my dad: Learning to be independent

B．From fixing toilets to building bulkheads: Changing my lifestyle

C．Reconnecting with my father: A lesson in asking the right questions

D．Lessons in self-sufficiency: How Google replaced my dad’s knowledge

23、A single dose(剂量) of an experimental vaccine(疫苗) can protect mice against the Zika(寨卡) virus, raising renewed hope of a vaccine for humans, say scientists. The US team say the results, published in Nature, are “striking” and should encourage research efforts.

Tests in humans could begin in months. But even if these go well, a licensed vaccine for widespread use to protect those at most risk—such as pregnant women—would still be years away, experts advise. Zika has been spreading across Central and South America and, most recently, Africa. More than 60 countries and territories now have continuing transmission(传播) of the disease, which is carried by mosquitoes. The virus causes serious birth damages during pregnancy and has been declared a global public health emergency.

Now, developing a vaccine for pregnant women to protect their unborn babies is an international research priority(优先事项). US scientists from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School tested two types of Zika vaccine in mice — one based on bits of genetic(基因的) code from the virus and another that is an inactive (and therefore harmless) copy of Zika. Both worked well, protecting every mouse that was immunised against the virus. In comparison, all of the mice not given the vaccine caught Zika after they were exposed to it.

Researchers say they will push ahead with developing the needed virus vaccine. There are many existing vaccines for other disease that use this type of technology, while there are relatively few DNA-based vaccines. Of course, future tests will need to check the vaccine is safe and effective in humans, as well as how long the immunity might last.

【1】If the tests in humans go smoothly, ________.

A．a vaccine for use in the laboratory will be still be years away.

B．pregnant women in Africa will be the first to benefit from the vaccine.

C．a licensed vaccine will still not be accessible in a short term.

D．The Zika virus will cause less serious birth defects during pregnancy in months.

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．many countries are actively involved in the research of the Zika vaccine.

B．US scientists have tested more than two types of Zika vaccine in mice.

C．None of the mice given the vaccine caught Zika.

D．It is still unknown whether the vaccine is safe and effective.

【3】Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．Zika vaccine works very well in mice

B．Zika vaccine still has a long way to go

C．International researches into Zika have paid off

D．More attention has been paid to Zika vaccine

4. “I taught in Japan as a teaching assistant and the job was really interesting but the hours were long, so I drank Coke to keep me going.
