If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ck’s vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (聯(lián)系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects.

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。本文討論了僅僅依靠書面文本來講述世界歷史的局限性,并強(qiáng)調(diào)了將物品納入歷史敘事以更好地理解無文字社會(huì)的重要性。
【12題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things. (如果你想講述整個(gè)世界的歷史,一段不以人類某一部分為特權(quán)的歷史,你不能僅僅通過文本來講述,因?yàn)槭澜缟现挥幸徊糠秩嗽?jīng)有過文本,而世界上大多數(shù)人,在大多數(shù)時(shí)間里,都沒有。寫作是人類較晚的成就之一,直到最近,甚至許多有文字的社會(huì)也不僅用文字,而且用物件來記錄他們所關(guān)心的事情。)”可推知,第一段主要講述的是歷史應(yīng)該如何呈現(xiàn)給我們。故選A。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段首句“Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. (理想情況下,歷史應(yīng)該將文本和物品結(jié)合在一起,本書的某些章節(jié)能夠做到這一點(diǎn),但在許多情況下,我們根本做不到。)”可推斷,作者認(rèn)為歷史應(yīng)該是文本和物品相結(jié)合的產(chǎn)物,但是很多情況下,我們做不到。再根據(jù)所舉例子的下文“Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. (在英國方面,我們有科學(xué)報(bào)告和船長對(duì)那可怕的一天的記錄。從澳大利亞方面來看,我們只有一個(gè)木制盾牌,這是一名男子在第一次經(jīng)歷槍擊后在飛行中扔下的。)”可知,作者舉這個(gè)例子是為了說明船長的記錄是片面的,只從自己的角度描述了問題。故選D。
【14題詳解】
詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線單詞上文“The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (聯(lián)系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. (加勒比海的泰諾人、澳大利亞的土著人、貝寧的非洲人以及印加人,所有這些人都出現(xiàn)在這本書中,他們現(xiàn)在都可以通過他們制造的物品向我們講述他們過去最強(qiáng)大的成就:通過物品講述的歷史給了他們一個(gè)聲音。當(dāng)我們考慮諸如此類的有文化社會(huì)和無文化社會(huì)之間的接觸時(shí),我們所有的第一手資料都必然是扭曲的,只有對(duì)話的一半。)”結(jié)合劃線句“If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我們要找到對(duì)話的另一半,我們不僅要讀文本,還要讀物體。)”可知,我們對(duì)過去歷史的了解,只是書寫歷史的人所想要讓我們了解的歷史,如果我們想要了解歷史的另一半,我們不僅僅要讀文本也要讀對(duì)象。所以cnversatin指的是“歷史”。故選B。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt.(如果你想講述整個(gè)世界的歷史,一段不以人類某一部分為特權(quán)的歷史,你不能僅僅通過文本來講述,因?yàn)槭澜缟现挥幸徊糠秩说臍v史曾經(jīng)被文字記錄過,而世界上大多數(shù)人,在大多數(shù)時(shí)間里,都沒有。)”結(jié)合最后一段的“ If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我們要找到對(duì)話的另一半,我們不僅要讀文本,還要讀物體。)”可知,本文講述僅僅依靠書面文本來講述世界歷史有局限性,想要更好的了解歷史就要將文本和物品結(jié)合在一起。從而推斷文章最有可能選自《100件物品中的世界史》。故選C。

When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.
A study recently published by Science fund that as yung as age six, girls are less likely than bys t say that members f their gender(性別)are “really, really smart.” Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief: Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.” Can ur planet affrd t have any great thinkers becme discuraged and give up? It desn't take a genius t knw the answer: abslutely nt.
Here's the gd news. In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we're all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear. And the mre we lk, the mre we will see that scial factrs(因素)like gender, race, and class d nt determine the appearance f genius. As a writer says, future geniuses cme frm thse with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple gd frtune, wh are able t change the wrld.”

【解析】
【分析】這是一篇議論文。文章由問題“誰是天才?”引入,論述了世人對(duì)天才的狹隘定義,提出事實(shí)上“天才”有很多種形式,不要讓思維限制了我們的“天才”能力。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的“It is said that histry is written by victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club-wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief-they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.( 據(jù)說歷史是由勝利者書寫的,而那些勝利者為進(jìn)入天才俱樂部設(shè)定了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。當(dāng)俱樂部以外的天才——女性或不同膚色或信仰的人——做出貢獻(xiàn)時(shí),他們不會(huì)被承認(rèn)并且被其他人拒絕)”可推知,作者認(rèn)為那些“勝利者”對(duì)進(jìn)入“天才俱樂部”設(shè)置的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是不公平的,因?yàn)榕曰蛘卟煌w色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承認(rèn)的。故選A。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief. Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are “really, really smart.”(更糟糕的是,研究發(fā)現(xiàn)女孩們是按照這個(gè)信念行事的。六歲左右,她們開始避免那些據(jù)說是“非常非常聰明”的孩子參加的活動(dòng))”可推知,女孩容易受到社會(huì)信仰的影響,認(rèn)為自己在六歲左右就不適合做“聰明孩子”做的事情。故選D。
【14題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we’re all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear.( 在一個(gè)全球通訊不斷的有線世界里,我們隨時(shí)隨地都能看到天才的閃現(xiàn))”可知,進(jìn)步的全球通訊讓更多的天才被公眾所知道。故選A。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的主要內(nèi)容,結(jié)合文章第一段提出問題“Wh is a genius?(誰是天才)”和最后一段的“As a writer says, future geniuses cme frm thse with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, wh are able t change the wrld.”(正如一位作家所說,未來的天才來自那些具有“智慧、創(chuàng)造力、毅力和那些能夠改變世界的簡單天才?!?”可知,天才不一定是那些有巨大貢獻(xiàn)的人,他們也可以是某一方面比較突出的普通人。由此可知B項(xiàng)“天才有多種形式”可以作為本文最佳標(biāo)題。故選B。

My editr Tni, wh is als a writer, has edited several histry bks. She has decided t study Chinese histry.

【解析】
【分析】本文是議論文。文章論述了要當(dāng)一個(gè)多面手,而不是當(dāng)某方面的專家。
【51題詳解】
推理判斷題。文章第二段中提到“This requires cmmitment t a particular ccupatin, branch f study r research. The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less.(成為專家需要對(duì)特定的職業(yè)、研究領(lǐng)域的投入。成為專家的缺點(diǎn)是我們常常對(duì)越來越少的知識(shí)領(lǐng)域了解得越來越多。)”根據(jù)“knw … abut less and less”可知,要成為一名專家,了解到的知識(shí)領(lǐng)域會(huì)越來越少,會(huì)縮小他的知識(shí)范圍。故選A。

推理判斷題。文章第五段中提到“Things are cnnected. Let yur expertise in ne field fuel yur passins in all related areas. Sme f yur interests may nt appear t be cnnected but, nce yu explre their depths, yu discver that they are.(事物之間是有聯(lián)系的。讓你在一個(gè)領(lǐng)域的專長激發(fā)你在所有相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的熱情。你的一些興趣可能看起來沒有聯(lián)系,但一旦你深入探索,你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它們是有聯(lián)系的。)”;下文舉出Tni的例子“My editr Tni, wh is als a writer, has edited several histry bks.

Fascinated by the structural beauty f the Frbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested t learn mre abut Chinese philsphy.(我的編輯Tni也是一位作家,她編輯過幾本歷史書。她已決定學(xué)習(xí)中國歷史。作為一名畫家,她癡迷于紫禁城的建筑之美,同時(shí)也對(duì)更多地了解中國哲學(xué)感興趣。)”由此可以推斷,作者想通過Tni的例子說明看似不相關(guān)的興趣,如果深入探索的話,在某種程度上是有聯(lián)系的。故選D。
【55題詳解】
主旨大意題。文章第一段提出觀點(diǎn)“There is smething t be said fr being a generalist, even if yu are a specialist.”作者提出即使你是一個(gè)專家,也應(yīng)該當(dāng)一個(gè)通才;文章第二段提出“The drawback t being specialists is we ften cme t knw mre and mre abut less and less. ”說明成為專家的不足之處是我們常常對(duì)越來越少的知識(shí)領(lǐng)域了解得越來越深;第四段中提到“Generalists, …, knw a lt abut a wide range f subjects and view the whle with all its cnnectins.”說明當(dāng)通才的優(yōu)點(diǎn)往往對(duì)廣泛的學(xué)科了解得很多,并從整體上來看其中的所有的聯(lián)系。作者的觀點(diǎn)是應(yīng)該當(dāng)一個(gè)通才。因此文章的標(biāo)題應(yīng)為“Be Mre a Generalist Than a Specialist(做一個(gè)通才,而不是專家)”。故選A。

Tgether, these deep human urges (驅(qū)策力) cunt fr much mre that ambitin. Galile was nt merely ambitius when he drpped bjects f varying weights frm the Leaning Twer at Pisa and timed their fall t the grund. Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent, “Why? Why? Why?”
Frtunately, curisity and discntent dn’t have t be learned. We are brn with them and need nly recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he wh des nt lse his child’s heart.” Yet mst f us d lse it. We stp asking questins. We stp challenging custm. We just fllw the crwd. And the crwd desires restful average. It encurages us t ccupy ur wn little crner, t avid flish leaps int the dark, t be satisfied.
Mst f us meet new peple, and new ideas, with hesitatin. But nce having met and liked them, we think hw terrible it wuld have been, had we missed the chance. We will prbably have t frce urselves t waken ur curisity and discntent and keep them awake.
Hw shuld yu start? Mdestly, s as nt t becme discuraged. I think f ne friend wh culdn’t arrange flwers t satisfy herself. She was curius abut hw the experts did it. Hw she is ne f the experts, writing bks n flwer arrangement.

That’s gd, because it’s always the peple with n time wh get things dne. Harriet Stwe, mther f six, wrte parts f Uncle Tm’s Cabin while cking. Yu’re t ld?

【解析】
本文是一篇議論文。文章論述了獲得成就的兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵因素——好奇心和不滿足。
51.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent. I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either. And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth. The tw belng tgether.可知,作者經(jīng)過多年對(duì)人性的觀察,認(rèn)為成就非凡的人和平庸的人的區(qū)別在于好奇心和不滿足,而且兩者是相輔相成的。由此推知,作者寫第一段的目的是提出一個(gè)論點(diǎn)。故選D。
52.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent, “Why? Why? Why?”可知,像伽利略一樣,歷史上所有的偉人都感到好奇,并不滿地問:“為什么?為什么?為什么?”由此推知,伽利略的例子告訴我們,偉大來自于持久的探索欲望。故選D。
53.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent, “Why? Why? Why?”及第四段中的“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he wh des nt lse his child’s heart.” Yet mst f us d lse it. We stp asking questins. We stp challenging custm. We just fllw the crwd.可知,歷史上所有的偉人都感到好奇,并不滿地問:“為什么?為什么?為什么?”孟子認(rèn)為“不失去孩子的心,就是偉大的人?!比欢?,我們大多數(shù)人確實(shí)失去了它。我們不再問問題。我們不再挑戰(zhàn)習(xí)俗。我們只是隨大流。由此可知,你可以通過培養(yǎng)了一個(gè)善于提問的頭腦,來重新獲得好奇心和不滿。故選B。
54.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的Hw she is ne f the experts, writing bks n flwer arrangement.及第七段中的Yu haven’t any special ability? Mst peple dn’t; there are nly a few geniuses. Yu haven’t any time? That’s gd, because it’s always the peple with n time wh get things dne.以及列舉了Thmas Cstain在57歲時(shí)出版了他的第一部小說,Grandma Mses在78歲時(shí)展示了她的第一批照片。由此可知,這兩段想告訴我們“缺乏天賦和時(shí)間不是不采取行動(dòng)的理由”。故選C。
55.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent. I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either. And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth. The tw belng tgether.及下文論述可知,本文主要論述了獲得成就的兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵因素——好奇心和不滿足。由此可知,C項(xiàng)The Keys t Achievement(成就的關(guān)鍵)適合做本文最佳標(biāo)題。故選C。

It wuld nt matter if these misjudgments were just a matter f peple's pinins. Hwever, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use f scarce resurces.
The fascinatin with the ICT(Infrmatin and Cmmunicatin Technlgy) revlutin, represented by the Internet, has made sme rich cuntries wrngly cnclude that making things is s "yesterday" that they shuld try t live n ideas.

As a result, in the last twenty years r s, many peple have cme t believe that whatever change is happening tday is the result f great technlgical prgress, ging against which will be like trying t turn the clck back. Believing in such a wrld, many gvernments have put an end t sme f the very necessary regulatins n crss-brder flws f capital, labur and gds, with pr results.

The bags are prhibited in sme 90 cities in Califrnia, including Ls Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein t make the case that their prducts are nt as bad fr the planet as mst peple assume.
Amng the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allw shppers t purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require mre energy t prduce and transprt. And while plastic bags may be ugly t lk at, they represent a small percentage f all garbage n the grund tday.
The industry has als taken aim at the prduct that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shpping bags. The strnger a reusable bag is, the lnger its life and the mre plastic-bag use it cancels ut. Hwever, lnger-lasting reusable bags ften require mre energy t make. One study fund that a cttn bag must be used at least 131 times t be better fr the planet than plastic.
Envirnmentalists dn't dispute(質(zhì)疑) these pints. They hpe paper bags will be banned smeday t and want shppers t use the same reusable bags fr years.

As cultural symbls g, the American car is quite yung. The Mdel T Frd was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ag, with the first rlling ff the assembly line(裝配線)n September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were prduced the next mnth. But eventually Henry Frd wuld build fifteen millin f them.
