Although he lived another three years, John?s 55 health prevented him returning to the cottage he loved. His funeral was a celebration of his life. Many mourners (吊唁者) spoke of his influence on them.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A ★★★★☆

People are better at answering difficult, unexpected or creative questions on their own rather than in group discussions, new research has suggested.

A study by scientists found that individuals could be better at problem solving on their own, as long as they were confident in their own answers.

When they attempted to answer in groups, those who offered the right answer tended to be drowned out by more confident members who confused them or led them astray (入歧途地), the research found.

The findings suggest the old saying “too many cooks spoil the broth” could indeed be more accurate than “two heads are better than one”, as people are better off thinking for themselves.

The study, led by Professor Asher Koriat of Haifa University, Israel, asked participants a series of questions to determine how often an individual answered correctly compared with pairs or groups.

It found group decision-making was only better when the correct answer was the most logical (合乎逻辑的), allowing people to reason out the most likely outcome together.

But when given trick questions, such as “which object was bigger in a drawing” designed to mislead them, they tended to get the answer wrong. Those participants working in pairs actually arrived at more wrong answers than those working alone.

The pattern was repeated when asked relatively simple questions which many people fail in, such as “what is the capital of Australia?”

Professor Koriat said the results suggested people who were most confident of their own answers tended to be right when working alone. If people were always honest about how confident they were, he said, the results should be repeated within pairs and groups.

Instead, he said, “In such cases it is the low confidence individuals who are more likely to be correct, and reliance on the more confident members could lead the group astray.”

He added previous studies which found “two heads are better than one” were not incorrect, but were true only if the answer was the most popular, logical or obvious one.

The study, which tested 38 people individually and in pairs, has now been published in the journal Science.

56. The old saying “too many cooks spoil the broth” in the fourth paragraph prob ably means _____.

A. there is no need to use many cooks to make a big meal

B. too many people help get things done easily

C. too many opinions cause confusion

D. it?s unnecessary for too many people to work on a difficult project

57. From the finding, group decision-making is better than that of individuals in a situation where _____.

A. the wrong answer is easy to see through

B. the correct answer is the most logical

C. people are sure of their success

D. the question is simple

58. Individuals working alone, in groups and pairs all tend to work out the right answer when they _____.

A. answer trick questions

B. rely on confident members

C. treat their confidence correctly

D. answer relatively difficult questions

59. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the passage?

A. Two heads are not necessarily better than one

B. Confident members play a great role in making the final decisions

C. The development of companies relies on individuals? creativity

D. The efficiency of teamwork is higher than that of individuals

B ★★★★☆

CHICAGO (Reuters) — In the last few years of his life, Dr. Ralph Steinman made himself into an extraordinary human lab experiment, testing a series of unproven treatments — including some he helped to create — as he carried on a very personal battle with pancreatic cancer （胰腺癌）. The winner of the 2011 Nobel Prize in medicine, who died only three days before the award was announced on Monday, October 3, finally tried as many as eight unproven treatments.

Steinman was devoted to research that would make a difference in the lives of people. That became more apparent after he suffered from cancer. He didn?t want to be thought of as an example of failed concepts. He wanted to see effective treatments made available to people so that they could be helped.

Steinman spent his entire career on immunology （免疫学）research for which he won the Nobel Prize, an honor he shares with American Bruce Beutler and French biologist Jules Hoffmann for their contributions to explaining the immune system. And Steinman discovered dendritic （树状的）cells in 1973.

Steinman lived four and a half years after getting pancreatic cancer that typically kills people within a year or less. He worked up to the very end. Steinman?s health declined quickly. Dr. Sarah Schlesinger, Steinman?s lab director, was told by the family of hi s death on Saturday. The plan had been for Dr. Michel Nussenzweig, head of molecular (分子的) immunology at Rockefeller who had worked with Steinman for over three decades, to tell the university of his passing on Monday morning. But that was abandoned when the family got an e-mail around 5:30 a.m. from the Nobel Committee at Sweden?s Karolins ka Institute, saying he had won the medicine prize.

Nobel prizes aren?t awarded to people after their death. But Schlesinger said entering the hospital secretly had nothing to do with the Nobel Prize. At the end he just wanted to be with his family. At last, the Nobel Committee decided to award the prize to Steinman after his death.

60. When did Ralph Steinman pass away according to the passage?

A. On October 3.

B. On September 30.

C. On October 2.

D. On October 1.

61. Ralph Steinman tried unproven treatments himself to _____.

A. show his great determination

B. show his devotion to immunology

C. find some effective treatments

D. prove some failed concepts

62. We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. Steinman knew quite a few famous biologists well

B. dendritic cells were first discovered by a Frenchman

C. Steinman worked for four years in spite of pancreatic cancer

D. Steinman was the first to be given the Nobel Prize after death

63. Few people knew about Ralph Steinman?s last stay in hospital because he _____.

A. wanted to get the Nobel Prize

B. didn?t want others to worry

C. needed a quiet place to recover

D. didn?t want to be bothered

C ★★★★☆

A destination with abundant natural beauty is an excellent candidate for tourist activity. Mexico fits the bill perfectly. Its beautiful beaches, green forest, marine (海洋的) wildlife, desert landscape

and tropical wildlife have made it the number one tourist country in the Caribbean region. Many times, tourist destinations fall victim to endless human greed, over-consumption and commercialization. This kind of unsustainable growth puts both the nature and people living there at risk. Not only are lives endangered but also p eople?s livelihood and economic survival.

Fortunately, Mexico authorities have recognized that sustainable growth is the only way possible for tourism. Tourism directly affects many other industries such as real estate (房地产). Because of Mexico?s tourism boom, Mexico?s real estate industry has flourished even when recession (衰退) was at its peak (最高点) all over the US.

One of the ways to preserve nature is to make use of renewable sources of energy which are not only clean but also do the least damage to the environment. The government encourages usages of renewable sources of energy. Recently, Mexican President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa attended the opening ceremony of the Oaxaca II, III and IV wind parks, owned by Acciona. The three energy parks, with a combined power generation capacity of 306 megawatts, can light up more than

700,000 homes without using harmful carbon fuel sources. The plants will help avoid the emission of 670 million tonnes of CO2 to the atmosphere a year which is equal to the cleaning effect of 33.5 million trees through the process of photosynthesis (光合作用).

With measures like these, Mexico?s natural resources will not suffer even while Mexico continues to make good economic progress. Tourism being its main economic activity cannot afford Mexico to lose its beauty and culture because of development.

Such measures prove that Mexico?s authorities are aware of global and local environment issues and know that long-term development need not be harmful to the environment. Tourism in all parts of Mexico has been directly affected because of such positive moves. In fact, real estate has also seen the benefits from the increased environmental awareness. Many property laws have been worked out which attempt to minimize the danger to coastlines. Tourist destinations like Los Cabos real estate region have been able to hold back commercialization and keep their natural beauty.

64. What does the author mean by saying “Mexico fits the bill perfectly”?

A. Mexico is a place suitable for everyone to live in.

B. Mexico is entirely appropriate for traveling.

C. Mexico is a wonderful place with rich natural beauty.

D. Mexico has to pay a high price for its endangered environment.

65. We can learn from the passage that Mexico?s real estate industry _____.

A. is influenced by the recession in the US

B. holds back the development of tourism

C. benefits a lot from tourism

D. is on the decline now

66. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. The difference renewable energy sources have made to nature.

B. The efforts from governments to protect nature.

C. The consequences commercialization has brought.

D. The role wind parks play in Mexico?s economic development.

67. The author?s attitude towards the measures taken by Mexico?s authorities is _____.

A. objective

B. indifferent

C. supportive

D. worried

D ★★★★☆

Pauline Koner, born in New York in 1913, was the daughter of Russian immigrants. As a child, she would dance whenever she heard music. After a performance by the great Russian ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) Anna Pavlova left a lasting impression on her, the child?s destiny (命运) seemed to be decided. Shortly afterwards, a family friend recommended that she study under Michel Fokine, the Russian-born ballet teacher. However, Pauline?s parents were disappointed to find he charged $5 a lesson, an unheard-of (前所未闻的) sum in the 1920s. Pauline?s father, a well-known lawyer, came to an agreement with Fokine: he would offer his legal services in exchange for the ballet lessons. Pauline loved Fokine, but classical ballet was not quite for her. “I couldn?t express what I wanted in toe shoes,” she recalled, “my feet hurt too much.”

Pauline went on to study Spanish dance and several types of Asian dance, and she performed with Japanese dancers who combined Asian dance with their own particular modern movements. In 1930, Pauline was offered her first solo concert. This delighted John Martin, an influential critic on The New York Times so much that he declared that the programme exhibited her unquestionable fight to stand alone. Pauline continued to dance solos around the world, touring Egypt and Palestine in 1932. She also taught and performed in the Soviet Union from 1934 to 1936, one of the first American dancers to appear there.

Pauline Koner was always curious about the customs, costumes and dances of other nations. As a child, she would paste National Geographic photos into scrapbooks. She thought that she was able to absorb various styles and influences because, as she put it: “Dance was so much in my life that when I studied a dance form, I was really living that way of dancing and not just keeping in shape.” She was convinced that students could also absorb other dance forms provided that “they do not allow the mselves to be overwhelmed by a single technique.”

Working as a soloist, sometimes offering programmes of twelve to fourteen items, taught her much about performing. She said: “I soon realize that before the curtain rises, you must go into a state of inner focus so that nothing exists for you except that one moment. Then, when the curtain opens, you and the audience must seem linked together.” She valued this feeling of union,

Although usually considered a modern dancer, Pauline enjoyed pointing out that she had never had a modern dance lesson in her life. Rather, she had developed her own modern style after studying a remarkable variety of other styles. But why did she never study modern dance? Pauline answered that question with a bit of history. In the late 1920s, modern dance was so new that there were few modern dance schools in America. By 1930 there were some, but Pauline had already established herself as an artist: she had, in fact, become a modern dancer entirely on her own.

68. What did Pauline Kone r think of Fokine?s lessons?

A. She thought his lessons didn?t suit her.

B. They made a lasting impression on her.

C. She complained about the long training hours.

D. She thought his fee for a lesson was reasonable.

69. From the second paragraph, we can learn that Pauline Koner _____.

A. was praised for her effort to be unique

B. went to Spain to learn several types of Asian dance

C. combined her own dance with Asian dance in her first solo concert

D. was the first American dancer to perform in the Soviet Union

70. What does Pauline Koner think is the most important thing while performing?

A. The previous experience and fame.

B. The technique of performing and passion.

C. The patience and desire for performing.

D. The deep concentration and appeal for the audience.

When we are faced with a crisis, or if we have an important decision to make, many of us fall into the trap of over-thinking. If we keep thinkin g about something too long and constantly, we?ll end up destroying our day. How can we stop ourselves from over-thinking?

Doing something to distract (使分心) yourself is a good idea. So you can find an activity, like knitting or working with your hands that requires so much attention that your brain is forced to be distracted from over-thinking. Working with your hands is especially good, because it engages your motor skills as well as your thinking process. Your brain simply doesn?t have the resources to sp lit itself into a third activity, for example over-thinking.

Other activities are the ones that arouse your curiosity, amuse you and challenge you. When you are feeling good and you?re forced to stretch beyond what you did in the past, you are really getting your brain working for you. Or try watching a suspenseful (悬疑的) movie. Studies have shown that when someone views something suspenseful, the brain is forced to become stuck in the present because all of your senses are completely engaged. You literally do not have time to worry about the future because your mind is focused on what is stimulating (刺激) you right now.

You can also use some STOP techniques. For example, you can say the word “STOP” out loud, or if you are out in public and don?t want to cause a scene, form a mental picture where a big red STOP sign is right in front of you. Anything that immediately brings your attention to what you are doing at the moment will stop the over-thinking wheels from turning.

Constant wishing, hoping and praying do not give you any relief. They just keep you stuck in one place. But taking the smallest step gets you off the treadmill (繁重的工作) that is going nowhere and whether or not the first step is a misstep really doesn?t matter. It will still set things in
