France．BI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director ofButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When thestudio didn't want me f or the film—it wanted somebody as well-known as Paul—he stood for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film andThe Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was anage difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We wererespectful of craft (技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we weregoing to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical ofAmerican actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in theWall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me w ith Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showingup at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was arelationship that didn't need a lot of words.44.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn't like his agent.C. He wasn't famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.45.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D. They had similar characteristics.46.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.47.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.CCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get toand naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example,is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years itspopulation grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all citiesdevelop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almostovernight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largestcities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made i t to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dugfor gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest oftheir lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold thatDawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointedpeople with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were newgold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.48.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.49.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.50.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.51.What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.DTo 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 caught out in an error． But real trouble starts when the desire to avoid a punishment leads to a refusal to deal with contraryevidence． Economists often assume that people are sensible． When faced witha new fact， these people should update their view of the world to take betterdecisions in future． Yet years of economic research confirms that peoplefrequently 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 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 behavior-for example， religious asceticism（禁欲主义） can help one avoid unhealthy habits．Because beliefs， however， are not simply tools 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 suchchallenges． Mr Benabou classifies this into three categories． "Strategic ignorance" is when a believer avoids information offering conflictingevidence． In "reality denial"， troubling evidence is rationalized（合理化）：real estate investors might make up fanciful theories for why prices shouldbehave unusually， and supporters of a disgraced politician might claim thenegative news to be fake．And lastly， in "selfsignalling"， the believer createshis 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（偏见）． Not all the errors it leads to are costly： praising the performance of one's supported football team despite contradictory evidence does little harm． But when biases are broadlyshared-within financial world or political parties-danger arises． Motivated reasoning helps explain why viewpoints polarize （两极分化） even as informationis more easily available than ever before．Work by Mr Benabou suggests that groupthink is highest when people within groups face a shared fate： when choosing to break from a group is unlikely to sparean individual the costs of the group's errors or bring much individualbenefit． The incentive（动力） to engage in motivated reasoning is high as a result． Even as the fact on a particular issue is obvious， parties can still become increasingly polarized． That， in turn， can make it harder still fora 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 regret are risky in a rigidly polarized world． Admissions of error can not only annoy partners but also provide opportunities foropponents． But it is rarely in the interest of those in the right to pretendthat they are never wrong．52.According to the passage， beliefs are similar to economic goods in that______ ．A. both are entertaining and valuableB. both can be shaped by religious faithC. both can reflect who the owners areD. both promote religious development53.Which of the following is an example of "selfsignalling"？ ______A. A fan speaks highly of his team although it has just lost the game．B. A man covers his ears when stealing a bell， believing the bell won'tring．C. Supporters of Trump believe the news about his affairs with a lady isfake．D. Suspected AIDS carriers refuse to be tested though it can be done forfree．54.What can be inferred from Paragraphs 6 and 7？ ______A. Polarization causes individuals to break from the group．B. Richer sources of information decrease motivated reasoning．C. Individuals with independent voices are dismissed from the group．D. Individuals in a group engage in motivated reasoning for their owninterests．55.Which of the following opinions might the author agree with？ ______A. Denying errors is unavoidable．B. Failure to admit errors is harmful．C. Humans are getting better at erring well．D. Wise people ignore contrary worldviews．五、任务型阅读The Hidden Meaning of Kids' Scribbles （胡乱画） A parent might place his daughter's tadpole （蝌蚪） drawing on the fridge out of a love for his childrather than for the funky-looking image， but for many people， that tadpoleart is actually quite charming． In fact， adult abstract artists were ofteninspired by children's drawing． Observers have found similar patterns in modem abstract art and kids' drawing．Acknowledging that young kids aren't as eager to produce a realisticrendering （呈现）helps demonstrate what the drawing experience means tothem． For many kids， drawing is enjoyable not because of the final productit leads to， but because they can live completely in the world of their drawing for a few minutes． Adults may find it hard to relate to this sort of full-body，short experience． But the opportunities for self-expression that drawingprovides have important， even therapeutic， value for kids．Maureen Ingram， who's a preschool teacher， said her students often telldifferent stories about a given piece of art depending on the day， perhaps because they weren't sure what they intended to draw when they started thepicture． "We as adults will often say，‘ I'm going to draw a horse，' and we set out…and get frustrated when we can't do it，" Ingram said． "They seem to take a much m ore sensible approach， where they just draw， and then they realize，"it is a horse．"Ultimately，what may be most revealing about kids，art isn't the art itselfbut what they say during the drawing process． Studies suggest that kids willcreate an elaborate narrative （详细的故事）while drawing，but when telling adults about their work they'll simply name t he items or characters in the image．And what about those odd or scary-looking drawings？ Does that mean kidsare telling themselves stories that are odd or scary？ It's hard to say，but it's rarely a good idea to over-interpret it． Ellen Winner， a psychologyprofessor at Boston College， pointed to parents who worry when their kid draws a child the same size as the adults， wondering whether she's suffering from，say， a feeling of impotence -a desire to feel as powerful as older people． But the likely reason is that the child hasn't yet learned how to differentiate size；the easiest solution is to just make all the figures the same size．What's most important to remember is that "children's art has its own logic，" Winner said． "Children are not being crazy．"Passage outline Supporting detailsDifferent angles of looking at kids' drawing Parents might display kids' drawing at home a s an (56) of love for their children．Adult abstract artists could draw (57) from kids'drawing．Real (58) of drawing experience to kids Kids enjoy the (59) of drawing rather than the finalproduct．Though kids' drawing experience is hard for adults to (60) ，it allows kids to express themselves．Typical characteristics of kids in drawing kids just draw (61) and then they realize they havedrawn something， not like adults who know what they intend to draw．Kids create stories while drawing， but can't tell them (62)A professor's opinions There is no (63) to over-interpret odd orscary-looking drawings．Kids are (64) to be less knowledgeable． For instance，they may have no idea about size．Conclusion Children's art seems (65) on the surface， but it has its own logic．六、书面表达请阅读下面文字及图片，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

I was born two weeks late. When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, "Are you okay?!"I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I was feeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautiful and I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive.4. What can be inferred from Para.1?A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth.B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild.C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born.5. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________.A.was criticized by othersB. caught public attentionC. was threatenedD. felt inferior6. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school?A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team.B. She no longer felt upset when facing her height problem.C. She had a passion for some sports events.D. She built up more confidence.7. What does the last sentence imply?A. People enjoy making fun of others.B. People are bad andcannot be trusted.C. People tend to bully those who are weaker.D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.CWhy can friendships be hard? Because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people end up getting hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. A person is put together in order to take care of himself and his own needs, not necessarily those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should guard against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friend the same way as you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friend everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she is in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are issues that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these issues so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships.

How to keep friends happy.C. How to treat friends correctly.D. How to solve friendship issues.DThere are three of us in the laboratory: Jules, me and Dr. Leonards. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules. As I do, he looks me in the eye and starts to move his face through a series of emotions-happy, confused, surprised, glaring. I'm attracted by his display, feeling delight when hegrinsand feeling serious when his eyes narrow angrily. None of this would be a surprise, of course, if Jules were a human. But he's a robot head on a table.The most special thing is that, consciously(有意识地), there's no mistaking Jules for a real person. Although he has surprisingly realistic skin, his eyes don't fit firmly against his lids, and he has a terrible hairpiece. Yet, as I walk into the room, I experience a complex worry of feeling in his direction. It's not at all like entering an empty space. It's a bit awkward for Jules’ shining false hair. Some unconscious part of me is responding to him as if he's real. This matters, because if we're to one day live comfortably along with robots , an understanding of how we instinctively(本能地) react to them is significant. The study of these issues is the frontier of a new scientific research; human-robot interaction.Jules was built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions that can be communicated by a human. “All the robots we'vebuilt so far don't have that rich emotions. We wanted to build a robotic face, with small motors that mimic(模仿) all the muscles you have, so we could discover what it could express. "Such research is becoming increasingly important, says Dr. Leonards, partly because our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can effortlessly interact.12. What does the author think of Jules?A. He ignored him in his place.B. He didn't treat him as only a robot.C. He was afraid of his being there.D. He mistook him for a real person.13. What is the purpose to build such a robot?A. To help humans of old ages.B. To carry out a scientific research.C. To take the place of human labour.D. To make an interaction with human.14. What doesthe underlined word “grins” mean in Paragraph1?A. Smiles.B. Shakes.C. Worries.D. Cries.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. Human And RobotB. Success Of Making A RobotC. Robot Will Replace ManD. Difference Between Man And Robot第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020届江苏省南通中学高三英语第二次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAlthough Adrian Wood had already sent her three oldest children off toWhiteOakElementary SchoolinEdenton,North Carolina, she was anxious when it was her youngest son Amos's turn to start classes.Adriansaid, “Sending Amos to school was such a different path. He was 3 when he started school. He had autism(自闭症)and he didn't speak."Amos struggled to make friends and fit in, but there was always one person there who was very happy to see him. Raymond Brown has worked at the school as a guard for the past 15 years. All of the students know and love him, and he's truly a friend to all. He started callingAdrian's son “Famous Amos” on day one. To the mom's surprise, Amos quickly began responding with a cheerful "Hey, Brown” whenever he saw him. "He wasn't even saying 'daddy' at home, so it was really something, "Adriansaid.“Amos is a hard friend to have,"Adrianexplained, "He takes a lot more than he gives and that's tough for children. But those kids saw that he was popular and loved, and they started fighting over who would get to hold Amos' hand on the way to the classroom. It meant so much to me that he was favored by the other children at school, and Mr. Brown had a big hand in that.”About a year ago, school officials nominated Mr. Brown forNorth Carolina's School Hero, a $20,000 prize. When the results came out and he didn't win,Adrianwas heartbroken. She couldn't let the disappointing results stand, so she took to Facebook and created an annual “Famous Amos” prize for Mr. Brown in their community. Her neighbors answered the call, donating $35,000 in just one week! Townspeople and school officials gathered in March to celebrate Mr. Brown and give him the money they'd raised. Principal Michelle handed him a giant check and thanked him for everything he does to help kids like Amos find their way.1. What madeAdrianworried?A. Her youngest son's bad behavior.B.

Amos became a top student at school.B. Amos got more attention from other kids.C. Amos learned to share and care about others.D. Amos had a better relationship with his family members.3. What did Mr. Brown get in the end?A. The “Famous Amos” prize.B. A check from the local government.C.North Carolina's School Hero prize.D. A small donation from the community.BIf you could travel back in time, which period of history would you visit? It’s a great question to ask your friends, and time travel is the subject of many science fiction films. Of course, sci-fi is familiar to most of us, butwhat is cli-fi? The simple answer is climate fiction which focuses on the subject of climate change.Many of the cli-fi examples we watch tend to be disaster films. It could be solar flares (太阳耀斑), ice ages devastating (摧毁) the planet, extreme flooding swamping the earth with water, or super-storms that threaten life as we know it. While films and novels of this style are often subject to the typical images of a hero or heroine battling to save the day, what sets it apart from most sci-fi films is that the plots will often draw on apparently reasonable outcomes in the near future.Climate change and the potential threats have long been established. Some believe that the issue of climate change has even led to more fans watching films to learn more about what's happening to the world – seeing it as a form of edutainment. A study conducted by the Yale programme on Climate Change Communication tested the effects that two climate fiction novels can have on its readers and found “significant positive effects” in terms of their attitudes and beliefs towards the climate crisis – for example, understanding global warming will harm them and future generations.Most climate films are not only extremely popular action films, but also cause our fear of what some see as the approaching end of the world. This sounds bad, but according to a study conducted on 310 adults in the US, watching such scary films can help us feel more prepared and less alone in situations such as the pandemic (疫情). So, it looks like cli-fi is hereto stay – and there seem to be some benefits. Whether it’s there to educate, entertain or prepare you for a climate crisis, it might have a role to play.4. Which of the following may be the subject of cli-fi?A. Time travel.B. Global warming.C. Weather forecast.D. Economic climate.5. What can we learn about cli-fi films from paragraph 2?A. They are often about extreme natural disasters.B. They want to show that man can conquer nature.C. They usually have similar plots with sci-fi films.D.

To show that people like climate fiction novels.C. To tell that cli-fi novels have positive effects on readers.D. To explain how the climate crisis affect the human being.7.

So I started to have a lot more free time,” he tells Yahoo Life. “It was really saddening, but it was also something that really surprised me, that our health care workers are facing something like that,” Nigam says. “So I wanted to see what I could do to help them because obviously, they're sacrificing so much and giving so much for all of us. ”In late March, the teen started fundraising efforts with the help of friends and family to help these health care workers receive much-needed meals.

江苏省南通市栟茶高级中学2020届高三下学期第三次月考线上考试英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解1.As one of the world’s oldest holidays, Halloween is still celebrated today in several countries around the globe, but it is in North America and Canada that it maintains its highest level of popularity. Every year, 65% of Americans decorate their homes and offices for Halloween. Halloween is the holiday when the most candy is sold and is second only to Christians in terms of total sales.AustriaIn Austria, some people will leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table before retiring on Halloween night. The reason for this is that it was once believed such items would welcome the dead souls back to earth on a night which for the Austrians was considered to be brimming(溢)with strong energies.BelgiumThe Belgians believe that it is unlucky for a black cat to cross one’s path and also unlucky if it should enter a home or travel on a ship. The custom in Belgium on Halloween night is to light candles in memory of dead relatives.CanadaModern Halloween celebrations in Canada began with the arrival of Scottish and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. Jack-O-Lantern is carved and the festivities include parties, trick-or-treating and the decorating of homes with pumpkins and corn stalks.FranceUnlike most nations of the world, Halloween is not celebrated by the French in order to honor the dead and departed ancestors. It is regarded as an “American” holiday in France and was unknown in the country until around 1996.1.In which countries does Halloween have its highest level of popularity?A.France and North AmericaB.Canada and North AmericaC.Austria and CanadaD.Belgium and Canada2.Why will people leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table in Austria?A.These items would welcome the dead souls back to earthB.These items are used to respect ancestorsC.These items are just for funD.The other items can replace them3.In which country does Halloween is not celebrated as the others?A.CanadaB.BelgiumC.AustriaD.France2.I first met Paul Newman in 1968,when George Roy Hill,the director of Cassidy and the Sundance Kid t introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film 一 it wanted somebodyas well known as Paul 一 he stood up for me. I don't know how many people would have done that;they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive,and making fun of each other 一 but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back 一 he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundanc e and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly,but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the ho spital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn't like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They had similar characteristics.3.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragr aph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the tex t?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.3.Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, therewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go—to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.1.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A.Its business culture.B.Its small population.C.Its geographical position.D.Its favourable climate.2.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A.Two-thirds of them stayed there.B.One out of five people got rich.C.Almost everyone gave up.D.Half of them died.3.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A.They found the city too crowded.B.They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C.They were unable to stand the winter.D.They were short of food.4.What is the text mainly about?A.The rise and fall of a city.B.The gold rush in Canada.C.Journeys into the wilderness.D.Tourism in Dawson.4.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 caught 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 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 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 behavior-for example, religious asceticism(禁欲主义) can help one avoid unhealthy habits.Because beliefs, however, are not simply tools 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 offering conflicting evidence. In "reality denial", troubling evidence is rationalized(合理化):real estate investors might make up fanciful theories for whyprices should behave unusually, and supporters of a disgraced politician might claim the negative news to be fake.And lastly, in "selfsignalling", 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(偏见). Not all the errors it leads to are costly: praising the performance of one's supported football team despite contradictory evidence does little harm. But when biases are broadly shared-within financial world or political parties-danger arises. Motivated reasoning helps explain why viewpoints polarize (两极分化) even as information is more easily available than ever before.Work by Mr Benabou 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 group's errors or bring much individual benefit. The incentive(动力) to engage in motivated reasoning is high as a result. Even 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 regret 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 that ______ .A.both are entertaining and valuableB.both can be shaped by religious faithC.both can reflect who the owners areD.both promote religious development2.Which of the following is an example of "selfsignalling"?A.A fan speaks highly of his team although it has just lost the game.B.A man covers his ears when stealing a bell, believing the bell won't ring.C.Supporters of Trump believe the news about his affairs with a lady is fake.D.Suspected AIDS carriers refuse to be tested though it can be done for free.3.What can be inferred from Paragraphs 6 and 7?A.Polarization causes individuals to break from the group.B.Richer sources of information decrease motivated reasoning.C.Individuals with independent voices are dismissed from the group.D.Individuals in a group engage in motivated reasoning for their own interests.4.Which of the following opinions might the author agree with?A.Denying errors is unavoidable.B.Failure to admit errors is harmful.C.Humans are getting better at erring well.D.Wise people ignore contrary worldviews.二、任务型阅读5.The Hidden Meaning of Kids' Scribbles (胡乱画) A parent might place his daughter's tadpole (蝌蚪) drawing on the fridge out of a love for his child rather than for the funky-looking image, but for many people, that tadpole art is actually quite charming. In fact, adult abstract artists were often inspired by children's drawing. Observers have found similar patterns in modem abstract art and kids' drawing.Acknowledging that young kids aren't as eager to produce a realistic rendering (呈现)helps demonstrate what the drawing experience means to them. For many kids, drawing is enjoyable not because of the final product it leads to, but because they can live completely in the world of their drawing for a few minutes. Adults may find it hard to relate to this sort of full-body, short experience. But the opportunities for self-expression that drawing provides have important, even therapeutic, value for kids.Maureen Ingram, who's a preschool teacher, said her students often tell different stories about a given piece of art depending on the day, perhaps because they weren't sure what they intended to draw when they started the picture. "We as adults will often say,‘ I'm going to draw a horse,' and we set out…and get frustrated when we can't do it," Ingram said. "They seem to take a much more sensible approach, where they just draw, and then they realize, "it is a horse."Ultimately,what may be most revealing about kids,art isn't the art itself but what they say during the drawing process. Studies suggest that kids will create an elaborate narrative (详细的故事)while drawing,but when telling adults about their work they'll simply name the items or characters in the image.And what about those odd or scary-looking drawings? Does that mean kids are telling themselves stories that are odd or scary? It's hard to say,but it's rarely a good idea to over-interpret it. Ellen Winner, a psychology professor at Boston College, pointed to parents who worry when their kid draws a child the same size as the adults, wondering whether she's suffering from, say, a feeling of impotence -a desire to feel as powerful as older people. But the likely reason is that the child hasn't yet learned how to differentiate size; the easiest solution is to just make all the figures the same size.What's most important to remember is that "children's art has its own logic," Winner said. "Children are not being crazy."6.The Homeless HeroFor many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source (来源) of temptation (诱惑). But the 1 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 2 more remarkable.After spotting a 3 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 4 to return.After hours in the cold and wet, he 5 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact (联系) the driver, only to 6 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 7 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35,000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 9 .The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 10 .Mr. Anderson said: "I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 11 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 12 he didn't take the wallet for himself; he thought about others 13 . It's unbelievable. It just proves there are 14 guys out there. "Mr. Smith's act 15 much of the public's attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 16 about the act of kindness on Facebook.Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 17 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8, 000. "I think the faith that everyone has shown 18 has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he's had job 19 and all sorts," Mr. Anderson commented.For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 10 .
