26、   It is not unusual to stare at a long restaurant menu and not be able to decide what one wants to eat. At other times it is difficult to pick an item of clothing in a shop with plenty of items from which to choose.

According to a new study published in Nature Human Behavior in October, this is the phenomenon of “choice overload (选择超荷)”. It’s the result of a struggle (挣扎) in our brain, Science Daily reported.

In the study, volunteers were given varying sets of six, 12, or 24 landscape pictures. They were asked to choose one to be printed on a coffee mug. While they chose, a machine recorded their brain activities.

According to the research, two parts of the brain – the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) (前扣带皮层) and the striatum (纹状体) - were highly active in the process. The ACC is responsible for the potential costs of decisions while the striatum is to determine (决定) value, Neuroscience journal noted. The study suggests that our brain needs to weigh both reward and workload to make a proper decision.

After further study, the researchers reported that these two parts are likely to be more active for the 12-item set than the other two sets. That’s because 12 is a good number, not “too small” or “too large” in the choice pool.

“As the number of options increases, the potential reward increases, but then begins to level off due to increasing amount of workload,” Colin Camerer, a professor of California Institute of Technology, US, told Science Daily.

But that doesn’t mean 12 is the magic number for decision making. According to Neuroscience journal, the proper number of options for a person is probably “somewhere between 8 and 15”. Still, many people prefer to have a large number of options to choose from even if the experience can be distressing, researchers reported.

According to the UK journal Medical News Today, it’s partly because people tend to feel freer and more able to control their lives when there are more options.

“Essentially, our eyes are bigger than our stomachs,” Camerer told Sci-news. “When we think about how many choices we want, we may not be mentally representing the frustrations of making the decision.”

【1】What did the study published in Nature Human Behavior aim to find?

A.How to make wise decisions quickly.

B.How people feel after making choices.

C.How the number of choices influences one’s decision.

D.How the brain makes choices.

【2】Why did the participants prefer the 12-item set in the study?

A.It made their brains work in the most active way possible.

B.It took the least effort for the ACC and striatum.

C.It was a balance between effort and reward.

D.It included many options.

【3】Why do people like to have lots of choices, according to the article?

A.They feel like they have more freedom in life.

B.They feel they can have better control of other people’s lives.

C.They don’t feel tired after making a choice.

D.They don’t know what they really want.

27、Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s, 60s or even 70s?Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around.【1】 It’s particularly important to the elderly.

Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, “the brain creates neural(神经)pathways” that make us smarter. 【2】 The more we learn, the mote new  neural pathways develop in our brains.

When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 【3】 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest to learn, that desire will naturally push us to move forward.

As we feel worn out from learning, don’t be discouraged.【4】 An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather fly together.” As long as we have partners to learn all together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, and choose to distance ourselves from other, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy, and life passion. Instead of being bored, dumb, why don’t we keep learning?

【5】 More importantly, learning explores our life horizon, helps us build up our confidence; gradually, it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and ach.

A．It’s never too old to learn.

B．Don’t worry if we cannot learn well.

C．You should set a high learning target.

D．Learning makes us understand how potential we are.

E．Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.

F．In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.

G．However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic, and self-fulfilled.

28、   From driving to landing on moon, more and more human tasks are being taken over by artificial intelligence(AI-人工智能). It will make everyday tasks easier and bring benefits to different industries.

And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks and dangers. When people mention that AI could be dangerous, they think of the situation in films where an AI program decides to kill or enslave all humans. While this possibility is unlikely for now, there are many other dangers that AI could bring to mankind.

In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible misuse of AI. What they found was that “Every AI advance by the good guys is an advance for the bad guys, too”. Their main worry was that criminals could use AI for many bad purposes, including using AI to create websites that could steal people’s personal information. Another possible risk was faster hacking(黑客)—AI programs could be taught to find weaknesses in software and break into computer systems. Some other risks were as dramatic as the ones we see in books and movies. For example, long-distant attacks could be made easier through the use of AI. And, finally, there were some worries on imitating voices as well. It is possible that AI could be used to make false photos and videos. In china, tech giant Baidu has developed a program called Deep Voice that can “clone” anyone’s voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample (声音样本).

Many people in the tech world have expressed worry about AI. People like US businessmen Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly controlled, as there are few laws currently governing the use of AI. Famous British Physicist Stephen Hawking even thought AI could finally cause the end of mankind. “Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it will take off and redesign itself at an alarming rate. Humans…couldn’t compete and would be replaced.”

【1】What cannot possibly be done by AI right now?

A.Driving cars. B.Landing on moon.

C.Playing games. D.Ruling all humans.

【2】Which saying has a similar meaning with the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?

A.Every coin has two sides. B.Prevention is better than cure.

C.Risk nothing, gain nothing. D.One’s meat is another’s poison.

【3】How many misuses of AI are mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A.One. B.Two.

C.Three. D.Four.

【4】Why does the author mention Stephen Hawking’s words?

A.To show Hawking’s perfect prediction.

B.To strengthen the high position of Hawking.

C.To help readers understand the serious situation.

D.To introduce the famous scientist--Stephen Hawking.

【5】What does the whole passage mainly talk about?

A.Risks and dangers of AI. B.Guidance of AI usage.

C.Advantages and disadvantages of AI. D.Development of AI industry.

29、Foldable future has arrived

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to show up. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both produced foldable phones, The Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge said.

The technology could change our lives in meaningful ways. These devices, because of their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket.

The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modern cities, they will help us to make full use of space.

In a speech, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen “the base for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a white paper for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary parts of foldable phones were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED screens produced were not perfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that few people will be able to afford.

But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile screens are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.

【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3 and 4?

A.Possible advantages of the foldable screen.

B.Where the idea of foldable screens came from.

C.Popular foldable screen devices on the market.

D.People’s words on the foldable screen.

【2】What can we learn from Denison’s words?

A.The Galaxy Fold still has many problems.

B.The foldable screen has bright future.

C.The production of foldable phones will soon increase.

D.Companies need to work together to develop foldable phones.

【3】Which statement is TRUE about the problem of foldable phones now?

A.90 percent of their screens are not perfect.

B.Their screens are difficult to produce.

C.They are too expensive for most families.

D.They are not as useful as thought.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the foldable screen?

A.Positive B.Unconcerned

C.Worried D.Cautious.
