10、d. It is perhaps one of the most widely known martial arts, because many films include its techniques. There are hundreds of styles taught all over the world, although they can be loosely divided into two camps: Shaolin style kung fu, and other techniques, some of which have a history that outdates

11、the Shaolin order.Shaolin kung fix has its origins in the fifth century. Like some other martial arts, it began in religious temples, where the monks sought a mind and body discipline (訓練方法). In addition to the fighting style, it also includes mental exercises and religious practices designed to bal

12、ance the whole body.Shaolin temples resembled universities, integrating a wide range of subjects of study. Therefore, traditional Shaolin styles such as Wing Chun, Crane, Praying Mantis, and Hung Gar took knowledge from fields outside martial arts, such as the healing arts and meditation. Supporters

13、 for Shaolin styles believe that they are more rounded martial arts styles, and that learners will benefit from them on a whole body level.Other fighting styles, some of which predate the Shaolin style, are also lumped under the kung fu umbrella. They include Pa-Kua, Eagle Claw, and Eight Drunken Im

14、mortals styles. These disciplines are not considered to be Shaolin style because they did not originate in temples and are focused primarily on fighting techniques.Whether Shaolin or otherwise, kung fu is characterized by self defense strategies that turn the energy of an attacker against him or her

15、. Although the techniques may vary, most styles teach throws, kicks, punches, and the use of weapons. In addition to the physical discipline, most place a great importance on respect, honor, and living a balanced life.1、What is the text mainly about?AThe reason why kung fu is important.BThe differen

16、t styles of Shaolin kung fu.CThe functions and branches of kung fu.DThe differences between Shaolin style and others.2、We can learn from the first paragraph that kung fu .Ais good for people physically and mentallyBhas the longest history in Shaolin templesCis something that are taught in many films

19、selves.22（8分） Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions vehicles”, but people inCalifornia seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most

20、ly use fireto make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get ourelectricity from generators (發電機). Generators are fueled by somethingusually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms andgeothermal (地熱)plants as w

21、ell, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. Its justbecause the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. Its as if the CaliforniaGreens are covering their eyes“ If I cant see it, its not hap

22、pening.” Gasoline is anincredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But whenyou take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice partof that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heatat the generator, through the transmi

23、ssionlines, etc.A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallonof gas wont get you as far so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-poweredones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, thenan electric car trul

24、y would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, wedont use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventuallyend up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread acrossall the

25、roads. When its a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is verygood at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all thegarbage is in one spot.1、What is the main idea of the text?AElectric cars are far from being clean.BElectric cars are better

29、t like or doesnt fit, but you dont want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you? Youre not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesnt mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesnt work for you.If you find yourself wit

30、h something nice but that doesnt fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent.There are specific things you should do to an item.

31、Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You never have to lie about what you are doing, but you dont want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the i

32、tem doesnt appear used; check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.When you get ready for regifting, consider having a white elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassmen

33、t of being caught regifting because thats the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.1、Why does the author begin the passage with a question?ATo share a hot phenomenon.BT

34、o introduce the following part.CTo ask for readers answers.DTo point out a common opinion.2、What most contributes to the growing regifting?APeoples lack of money.BPeoples dislike of the gifts.CPeoples reduced desire for gifts.DPeoples understanding of its manners.3、Whats mainly talked about in Parag

36、（8分）To err is human. Society is suffering from an inability to acknowledge as much.For individuals, errors are painful. The trick, then, is to err well: to recognize mistakes and learn from them. Worryingly, humanity may be getting worse at admitting its mistakes.Few enjoy the feeling of being caugh

37、t out in an error. But real trouble starts when the desire to avoid a punishment leads to a refusal to deal with contrary evidence. Economists often assume that people are sensible. When faced with a new fact, these people should update their view of the world to take better decisions in future. Yet

38、 years of economic research confirms that people frequently disregard information that conflicts with their view of the world.Why should that be? Last year Roland Benabou, of Princeton, presented a framework for thinking about the problem. In many ways, beliefs are like other economic goods. People

39、spend time and resources building them, and get value from them: some beliefs make owners feel good and show their public identity; other beliefs provide value by shaping behaviorfor example, religious asceticism(禁欲主義) can help one avoid unhealthy habits.Because beliefs, however, are not simply tool

40、s for making good decisions, but are treasured in their own right, new information that challenges them is unwelcome. People often engage in “motivated reasoning” to manage such challenges. Mr Benabou classifies this into three categories. “Strategic ignorance” is when a believer avoids information

41、offering conflicting evidence. In “reality denial”， troubling evidence is rationalized(合理化)：real estate investors might make up fanciful theories for why prices should behave unusually, and supporters of a disgraced politician might claim the negative news to be fake. And lastly, in “selfsignalling”

42、， the believer creates his own tools to interpret the facts in the way he wants: an unhealthy person, for example, might decide that going for a daily run proves he is well.“Motivated reasoning” is a cognitive bias(偏見). Not all the errors it leads to are costly: praising the performance of ones supp

43、orted football team despite contradictory evidence does little harm. But when biases are broadly sharedwithin financial world or political partiesdanger arises. Motivated reasoning helps explain why viewpoints polarize (兩極分化) even as information is more easily available than ever before.Work by Mr B

44、enabou suggests that groupthink is highest when people within groups face a shared fate: when choosing to break from a group is unlikely to spare an individual the costs of the groups errors or bring much individual benefit. The incentive(動力) to engage in motivated reasoning is high as a result. Eve

45、n as the fact on a particular issue is obvious, parties can still become increasingly polarized. That, in turn, can make it harder still for a member of one party to get any benefit from breaking from a group. Indeed, the group has an incentive to silence independent voices.Public statements of regr

46、et are risky in a rigidly polarized world. Admissions of error can not only annoy partners but also provide opportunities for opponents. But it is rarely in the interest of those in the right to pretend that they are never wrong.1、According to the passage, beliefs are similar to economic goods in th

47、at _Aboth are entertaining and valuable Bboth can be shaped by religious faithCboth can reflect who the owners are Dboth promote religious development2、Which of the following is an example of “selfsignalling”？AA fan speaks highly of his team although it has just lost the game.BA man covers his ears

48、when stealing a bell, believing the bell wont ring.CSupporters of Trump believe the news about his affairs with a lady is fake.DSuspected AIDS carriers refuse to be tested though it can be done for free.3、What can be inferred from Paragraphs 6 and 7?APolarization causes individuals to break from the

49、 group.BRicher sources of information decrease motivated reasoning.CIndividuals with independent voices are dismissed from the group.DIndividuals in a group engage in motivated reasoning for their own interests.4、Which of the following opinions might the author agree with?ADenying errors is unavoida

Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on Fe

51、bruary 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA美國國家科學院院刊).They carried out the first two exper

52、iments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest ca

53、rs.In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher class families were more likely to

54、 act dishonestly.According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks, It also means they care less about other peoples feelings.Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,

55、and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings dont mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how pe

56、ople living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways.1、By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .Alink wealth with bad behaviorBdraw readers attention to the researchCshow how the saying proves the findingsDdefend rich people who do

57、 immoral things2、According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?AThey welcome risks.BThey have more desires.CThey believe money talks.DThey become more selfish.3、Why did the scientists do the experiments?ATo show how social status affects peoples morality.BTo sho

58、w peoples instincts and values in different ways.CTo test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.DTo show the difference between higher - class people and lower - class people.4、What does the passage really want to show us?AThe poor are respectable.BMoney is the root of all evil.
