21、   Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was one of motor racing's most influential engineers. He summed up his philosophy as "simplify, then add lightness". A simple, featherweight car might be slower on the straights than a beefy muscle-machine, he reasoned. But it would be faster everywhere else. Between 1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula One constructors championships.

It appears to be an uncommon insight since humans always struggle with subtractive thinking. When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest adding new things rather than removing some, even when additions lead to not satisfying results. In one study conducted by Gabrielle Adams, along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, participants were asked to change a pattern on a grid(网格)of coloured squares to make it balanced. Although that could be done equally well by adding new squares or by deleting existing ones,78% chose the additive option.

But why people forget that less is often more? One experiment asked participants to redesign an unbalanced Lego structure so that it could support a house-brick. Participants could earn a dollar for fixing the problem, but each piece of Lego they added cut that reward by ten cents. Even then, only 41% worked out that simplifying the structure by removing a single block,rather than complicating it by adding more, was the way to maximise the payout. Practice improved people's chances of spotting subtractive solutions, suggesting that many were simply not thinking of the possibility, at least at first.

What all this amounts to is evidence for " additive thinking" entering the list of" cognitive biases"(认知偏差).The 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded for demonstrating that humans are not thinking logically as economists do. Instead of thinking a problem through and coming up with an ideal solution, they tend to use cognitive shortcuts that are fast and—mostly—"good enough".

【1】Why is Chapman's case mentioned in paragraph 1 ?

A．To prove his philosophy.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To support the argument.

D．To provide an example.

【2】What were the participants asked to do in Adams's study?

A．To balance a pattern.

B．To plus new squares.

C．To delete original squares.

D．To change a pattern's colour.

【3】What can we know about subtractive thinking from paragraph 3?

A．It can make things more complex.

B．It is a shortcut to gaining a fortune.

C．It can be facilitated through practice.

D．It is a common way to tackle problems.

【4】What does the author try to convey through the text?

A．Less is often more.

B．Think less and act more.

C．Additive thinking is a shortcut.

D．Economists think more logically.

22、   Staying up late doing homework is always tiring. And perhaps when we become tired, we feel the need to eat unhealthy snack food. Recently scientists have been investigating tiredness and snack food.

According to a study in The Journal of Neuroscience, people are more likely to take snacks when they don't get enough sleep.

For the study, researchers from University of Cologne in Germany gave the same dinner to 32 healthy men aged between 19 and 33. Half of the men were then sent home to bed, and the other half were kept awake in the laboratory all night.

The next morning, the participants were asked to consider how much they would be willing to pay for snack food items shown to them in pictures.

According to the researchers, all were similarly hungry in the morning, and had similar levels of most hormones（荷尔蒙）and blood sugar.

However, brain scans showed that when the sleep-deprived（缺少睡眠的）participants looked at the pictures of junk food, they released more of the "hunger hormone". This is the hormone responsible for increasing the appetite, and making us consume more.

Asked about how much they would pay for snacks, "Participants with sleep deprivation were more willing to overspend on food items than those with a good night's sleep," researchers told Science Daily.

Researchers also observed that among the people who hadn't slept, there was greater activity in the part of the brain where food rewards are processed.

The scientists think that sleep-deprived people experience changes to the hunger hormone and the brain's reward system that then leads to a stronger desire to eat snacks with high fat and calories.

"This brings us a little closer to understanding the mechanism（机制）behind how sleep deprivation changes food valuation," Professor Jan Peters, a co-author of the study from the University of Cologne, told The Independent.

Some tips on this:

* Listen to some soft music to relieve your tiredness.

* Do some slight exercise for a short time when you're tired.

* Eat yogurt or fruits to replace snacks with high fat and calories.

* Distance yourself from snacks.

【1】What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

A．Less sleep leads to more snacks.

B．Staying up late does harm to health.

C．Tiredness is the cause of less sleep.

D．We need no snacks when we sleep.

【2】What makes people eat more junk food according to the study?

A．Blood sugar.

B．Food items.

C．The hunger hormone.

D．Fat and calories.

【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．People who lack sleep usually spend less on food items.

B．Listening to soft music helps people feel relaxed.

C．Exercise as much as you can when you are tired.

D．People who sleep well can get food rewards.

【4】What's the author's attitude towards snacks?

A．Positive.

B．Indifferent.

C．Negative.

D．Neutral.

23、   On June 9, 2015, Mark Joseph Peredo was riding high on his way home from landing an important client for his marketing business, but he never made it back to celebrate with his family. Instead, a car traveling on the opposite side of the highway crossed over，and crashed into Mark's car. Doctors later told Mark that his foot had been shattered (粉碎). The surgeries left him unable to walk normally for a year, and Mark was forced to abandon his plans to be a successful business owner.

Little did Mark know that Luke Hutchins , the driver of the other car, was suffering, too. The reason he had lost control of his vehicle was because he had an epileptic fit (癫痫发作) - his first, but not his last. Mark knew none of this. Instead, he was still furious with Luke, who had cost him his career. After his foot had mostly recovered, Mark decided to walk the 500-mile Camino de Santiago, a rough path that begins in France，continues through the Pyrenees Mountains, and ends in Spain.

One year later, Mark finished his trip and was still curious about the accident, so he decided to do one more thing: Meet Luke. The two were nervous about speaking to each other, but once Mark learned that Luke was not at fault for the incident and that he had been similarly struggling to recover, Mark knew that Luke needed to walk the Camino de Santiago too—and they needed to do it together.

In 2017, Mark and Luke embarked on (开始) their tip, which was hard on Luke at first. As time progressed, Luke became stronger both physically and mentally. During their 40-day trip, the two men kept encouraging each other and had many heart-to-heart talks. And they came to realize that unless you let go of the past, you cannot move forward.

【1】What happened to Mark on June 9, 2015?

A．He lost his way home in the dark.

B．He gave up his marketing business,

C．He was badly hurt in a car accident.

D．He failed to meet an important client.

【2】What does the underlined word “furious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Very angry.

B．Quite strict.

C．Rather impatient.

D．Really pleased.

【3】Why did Mark decide to meet Luke?

A．To make an apology.

B．To find out the truth.

C．To argue with Luke.

D．To cure Luke of his epilepsy.

【4】What can we learn from Mark's story?

A．One can never be too careful.

B．It is good to have friends in trouble.

C．Learn to forgive and live a better life.

D．Be generous and you'll be successful.

24、WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A DOLLAR？

AMERICAN DINNER-TABLE rules are simple：Don't discuss religion，politics，or money.

Money is especially bad. It makes people evil，small-minded and mean. Still，we want it. Little in life is simpler，or more symbolic of possibility，than a single George Washington. So we asked a handful of creative thinkers：What's the best way to invest a dollar？

■I would travel to an American post-industrial town，find a boardedup theater，and buy it for one dollar. Working with friends，I would rally（重整）the community together，raise money，and open it independently. This is what happened in the town of Cohoes，New York，and it can happen anywhere.

DEV AUJLA，founder of DreamNow

■Buy a newspaper which provides a credible source of news. It's cheap, it's informative, and staying current will help you strike up a conversation with people who could help advance your career.

ROB FRIEDMAN, a risk associate

■In my travels, I'd say that what people need most besides security and education is access to clean drinking water. So I'd give the dollar to a nonprofit or tech company that provides water sources to communities in need. A simple well with a solar-powered pump might have met their temporary needs.

BEN HARRISON, a U. S. Marine

■I would bury the dollar in the most beautiful place I could find，then create an elaborate（复杂的）map to the dollar.I would hope someone would discover this map years from now and have an adventure to go on.

PHILP STOCKTON，a filmmaker

【1】What docs the underlined phrase "a single George Washington" refer to?
