    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    How would you like to study at an American university in China? With the news that New York University (NYU) is considering setting up a branch（分校）on Chinese mainland, the possibility of getting an American education becomes a reality. But how will Chinese students deal with a very different style of teaching? One that encourages debate（辩论）, discussion and critical thinking (批判思维)； one which puts little attention on rote learning.

    You know how kids ask questions all the time? Asking questions shows they are curious (好奇). So when does that natural curiosity get weak? Not at kindergarten or nursery, nor at primary school. As you grow older perhaps refusing to draw attention to yourself by asking the teacher questions, you grow quiet. If so, that's a pity, because questioning your teachers should be encouraged. After all, they're the ones who've been educated, have a lot more experience than you and perhaps have a little wisdom. When I taught joumalim at college in Scotland I enjoyed answering students' questions. Some of them raised difficult questions. I didn't always know the answers. If I didn't, I'd accept it and try to find out later.

    At university we were encouraged to challenge our classmates and teachers. There was often a regular meeting between teachers and some students. A student would prepare a paper on a subject and the other students would criticize it. It could be frightening. But it was a way of developing critical thinking.

    We need to differentiate critical thinking with loudmouths. We've all come across loudmouths who speak out quickly as if they knew what they were talking about. I know one loudmouth who is paid a great deal of money by a British tabloid newspaper to entertain readers with his deeply-held prejudices(偏见). You might not agree with columnist(专栏作家) Richard Littlejohn, but you have to say that he is entertaining and there is an internal logic（内在的逻辑）to his statements. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking.

    My wife doesn't have a logical mind, but she does have emotional intelligence（情商）. I can't say that I have anything like her emotional intelligence. but I'd like to think some of it rubbed off on me. If you can't at least try to put yourself in someone else's shoes, how can you understand their situation, their problems and issues?

    So try to develop your powers of critical thinking. Start with books, films, music and newspapers. And don't believe everything you read or see. Think independently.

    57. According to the passage, to develop your critical thinking, you can____________.

    A. keep curious and follow your heart

    B. think logically, not emotionally

    C. do more reading and think actively

    D. voice your opinion like a loudmouth

    58. The underlined words 66rubbed off on mc" in Paragraph 5 probably mean " __________".

    A. helped me solve the problem better

    B. had some influence on me in a way

    C. moved it backwards and forwards

    D. advised me to wear others' shoes

    59. What can be the best title for the passage?

    A. Want to be different? Think critically

    B. Want to be critical? Think for yourself

    C. Choose NYU, choose critical thinking

    D. Importance of improving critical thinking

         It's 2009. You feel sick, so you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks 
    what you've been thinking about lately. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of 
    thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily.  She says that the way you think is causing some of
     your illness.
         Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way 
    that they do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every 
    part of your body through your nervous system (神经系统).  Now scientists have proved that how you think
    and feel can havean influence on the health of your body.
          Stress (压力 ,紧张)  is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody
     has stress more or less; nobody's life is perfect.  In fact, stress is necessary.  Without stress, wa would never 
    leam anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored'to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It
    can weaken your body's protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can evenmake you more
    likely to have an accident.
          When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce achemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素).  Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat.  Today you have a different kind of stress. 
    Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can't fight or run away
    from, so you don't use up all that adrenaline.  It just stays bottled up inside you, and that's what can do
     something bad to you.
         What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren't under so 
    much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work 
    things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can't change a stressful situation.  Sometimes
     you don't even want to.  A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.
           The link (关联) between your body and brain works in two ways.  Your body can help your mind deal 
    with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body.  It's important to get
    enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that
    you can do is daily exercise.  If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your 
    body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isn't used to much physical 
    activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before 
    starting any exercise programs.
    1. A psychologist is a person who may help you with your ________.    
    A. illness and abilities                      
    B. thoughts and behaviour
    C. mind and nervous system            
    D. physical activity and daily exercise
    2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. You shouldn't go to the gym if you are under stress.
    B. One can do his homework to bum up adrenaline.
    C. Diseases and accidents are caused by stress.
    D. Everyone needs stress to improve himself.
    3. From the last sentence of Paragraph 5 we can infer that ________.    
    A. it's difficult to change a stressful situation
    B. it's not stressful when a good change takes place
    C. a big change will cause another stressful situation
    D. a stressful situation can't be changed without any effort
    4. What is probably the best title for this passage? 
    A. The Body-Brain Link                    
    B. The Causes of Stress
    C. The Advice on Health
