I have foundit true. But I also believe in the philosophy that we are not defi ned （定义）by what happe ns to us, but by what we do whe n things happe n to us.Somefriends think we have had far more than our share of bad things occur, but I don' t think bad things are shared. They are events that occur as the result of many aspects, sometimes far past our con trol or even kno wledge of them. I am also a firm believer in the laws of uninten ded consequences — one event causes things that are quite unexpected, sometimes positive, sometimes not.So as I considered the question of "What motivates me? ” and sought an answer, it struckme that I simply refuse to be defeated. I won ' t let life or events tear me down to the pointat which I am no Ion ger me, or simply stop being.In 2008, I battled three types of cancer, had four cancer operations, the firm I worked for closed without notice, my wife was in a horrible car accident, got laid off from her company, the economy devastated our life savi ngs,…and that was for starters.We also lost two family members and my closest friend. He was the last person I would expect to pass away out of our frien ds. But a disease took hold of him 9 years earlier. His memorialservice was filled with love, and many of us told about his joy of life, humor, his achievements, and the challe nges he had overcome in his life — which were many and pain ful.

In the luge, competitors lie flat, feet first, on a small sled （雪橇）.They can travel around an icy track at speeds up to 140 kilometers an hour. The riders control the sled' s speedby cha nging the positi on of their feet or by movi ng their shoulders.So why did the US luge team win a medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics? Most credit must go toA. Destroyed.B. In creased.C. Supported.D. I ncluded.B. To advertise. D. To expla in.Chris Mazdzer himself. The American said his win was a product of 16 years of preparation and intense training. But another reason for Mazdzer 's suc cess could have been the 3-D printing technology, which his team used to make its equipment.The term 3-D is short for three dimensional, meaning an object with length, width and height. In 3-D printing, 3-D models are first created as files, or documents, on a computer. The printer then uses a substance （物质） like plastic or metal to create physical objects. The process involves making one layer of material at a time until the objects reach full form.The US luge team worked with an American company called Stratasys on the designing and manufacturing process for the sleds. First, the company made a scan, or image, of the body of every member of the luge team. Then, 3-D printing technology was used to create tools for making molds （模子） in the shape of Olympians on top of a sled. The process of designing and tooling sled parts is highly complex and can take several weeks. Officials from the US luge team say 3-D printing can greatly simplify the process, speeding up the production of parts.Jon Owen, says the use of 3-D printing has made the team more competitive. It helps the team “continuously adjust designs and run the sleds on the track much faster than traditional processes, ” he said. He added that the technology also provides a way to perfectly fit each rid er to the sled, while cutting production time and costs.8. According to the author, what mainly contributed to Mazdzer 's winning the medal?A. His own great efforts.B. His using a new technique.C. The cooperation with his luge team.D. The US Olympic luge team's encouragement.9. To make the sleds for the team, what did the company have to do?A. To create tools for making sled parts.B. To take some photos of the members first.C. To create molds according to the members ' bodies.D. To ask the Olympians to be present for several weeks.10. From the last paragraph we learn that 3-D printing most probably ________ .A. saves plenty of competitors ' training timeB. helps competitors achieve their full potentialC. requires great skills of riders to fit the trackD. allows riders to change their sleds continuously 11. What is the text mainly about?printing.for gold.The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias （ they aresmarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do notpossess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.Thisphenomenon is something you have likely experienced in real life, perhaps at a holiday family gathering. Throughout the course of the meal, a member of your extended family begins spouting off on a topic, boldly announcing that he is correct and that everyone else 's opinion is stupid, uninformed, and just plain wrong. It may be plainly evident to everyone that this person has no idea what he is talking about, but he talks continuously, blithely oblivious （ 忘乎所以 ） to his own ignorance.The effect is namedafter researchers David Dunning and Justin Kruger, two social psychologists. They found incompetent people are not only poor performers, they are also unable to accurately assess and recognize the quality of their own work. These low performers were also unable to recognize the skill and competence levels of other people, which is part of the reason why they consistently view themselves as better, more capable, and more knowledgeable than others.This is the reason why students who earn failing scores on exams sometimes feel that theydeserved a much higher score. They overestimate their own knowledge and ability and are incapable of seeing the poorness of their performance.“In many cases, the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence, encouraged by something that feels to them like knowledge. ” Dunning and his colleagues have also performed experiments where they ask respondents if they are familiar with terms related to subjects including politics, biology, physics, and geography. Along with genuine concepts, they added completely made-up terms. In one such study, approximately 90 percent of respondents claimed that they had at least some knowledge of the made-up terms.So what can you do to gain a more realistic assessment of your own abilities? Instead of assuming you know allA. How 3-D printing usually works.B. How we take advantage of 3-DC. How the US luge team performed this year.D. How 3-D printing helped Team US go偏见） in which people believe thatthere is to know about a subject, keep digging deeper. Once you gain greater knowledge of a topic, the more likely you are to recognize how much there is still to learn. Another effective strategy involves asking others for constructive criticism. While it can sometimes be difficult to hear, such feedback can provide valuable insights into how others perceive your abilities.Even as you learn more and get feedback, it can be easy to only pay attention to things that confirm what you think you already know. In order to minimize this confirmation bias, keep challenging your beliefs and expectations and seek out information that challenges your ideas.12. What can we learn about the Dunning-Kruger effect from the first paragraph?A. The Dunning-Kruger effect is rare for us to confirm.B. Incompetent people can be blind to their own ignorance.C. Ignorance leads people to underestimate their own abilities.D. Poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability have a close connection.13. According to the Dunning-Kruger effect, what do incompetent people tend to do?A. Underestimate their own skill levels.B. Feel more realistic about their competence.C. Recognize their own mistakes and lack of skills.D. Fail to recognize the genuine skill of other people.14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. The meaningless terms may cause respondents to feel ashamed.B. The participants pretended to know what they actually didn ' t know.C. The aim of the experiments was to assess how smart the participants were.D. Most of the respondents claimed they were unfamiliar with the make-up terms.15. Which is the way to overcome the Dunning-Kruger Effect?A. Ask people for helpful feedbacks.B. Minimize the bias and challenges.C. Assume that you know everything.D. Gain confidence and trust yourself.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
