  “Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making. For years March( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.

  He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning :“Experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.

  In one interesting part of book,for example,he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says “The more accurately(精确的)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”

  Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding;Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.

  阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  A study has showed that the brain makes decisions about 10 seconds before a person realizes it.

  Experts involved in the study said that looking at brain activity while making a decision, they could predict the choices the subjects would make, before they realized that they had made a decision. Lead researcher John-Dylan Haynes, a neuroscientist (神经学家)at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, said that the new findings called into questions for “consciousness”of decisions that people make, and might even challenge ideas as to how“free”people are to make a decision at a particular moment. 

  “We think our decisions are conscious, but these data show that consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg,”Nature magazine quoted (引用) him as saying. Thinking the results“quite dramatic”, Frank Tong of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, said that 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity.

  During the study, the brains of 14 volunteers were imaged as they performed a decision-making task. The subjects had two buttons before them, each to be operated by a different hand, which they could press when they felt the urge to. They were simultaneously (同时地)shown a stream of letters, which appeared on a screen at half-second intervals (间隔). The volunteers had to remember which letter was showing when they decided to press their button. 

  Upon analysis of the data, the researchers realized that the earliest signal they could catch started seven seconds before the volunteers reported having made their decision. Given the delay of a few seconds in the imaging, they reckoned (估计) that the brain activity could have begun about ten seconds before the conscious decision. The researchers showed that the signals were picked up from a region (区域)called the frontopolar cortex (脑额极皮层), which is located at the front of the brain, immediately behind the forehead. 

  While writing about the observations made during the research in his study report, Haynes said that the frontopolar cortex might be the brain region where decisions are started. He also showed that the next step in the research would be to speed up the data analysis so as to enable his team to predict people’s choices as their brains would make them.

  1. The passage tells us that ______. 

  A. we are aware of our whole process of decision-making

  B. people don’t make decisions until they realize it

  C. experts have no way to tell what decision one will make

  D. the decision-making process starts before it is made

  2. The underlined word “subjects”in Para. 2 probably refers to ______. 

  A. the topic of the experts’ research paper

  B. the scientific subjects that the experts were studying

  C. the things that experts don’t know clearly

  D. the volunteers that the experts worked on for their research

  3. The underlined sentence“consciousness is just the tip of the iceberg”in Para. 4 means that ______. 

  A. our decision-making is conscious

  B. the data contains a lot of information besides consciousness

  C. consciousness is the major part of the data

  D. 10 seconds is“a lifetime”in terms of brain activity

  4. The final purpose of the research ______. 

  A. is not stated clearly in the passage

  B. is not acknowledged by experts

  C. is to show where decision-making starts

  D. is to analyze the data picked up

  5. The passage implies that ______. 

  A. the research has been completed

  B. the research was conducted by two experts

  C. the decision-making process lasts only about 10 seconds

  D. we may predict what decisions people will make in the future

  Air pollution is a leading cause of cancer and classified among Group 1,or top, human carcinogens (致癌物质), said the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer agency, on Oct 17,2017. The most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the IARC, which places them into five groups. Group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. Group 2A is probably carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of Group 3 in humans is unclassifiable, and Group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Only a little more than 100 are classified as Group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke. “Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants,” the lARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement. “The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution.”

  In 2010, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide, and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder (膀腕) cancer, according to the IARC. Air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases.

  Air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over space and time.

  Loomis said people in Asia, eastern North America, some places in Central America and Mexico, as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure. Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as China, are particularly at risk.

  Many cities in China, such as Beijing, frequently see smog. This week, Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang province, became the first Chinese city to officially suspend classes due to serious smog Many developed countries face similar problems, although to a lesser degree than most developing nations. In Europe, levels of many pollutants have fallen. But between 91 and 96 percent of Europeans living in cities are exposed to levels of PM2.5—tiny particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers—that are higher than the WHO safety limits, says a report published by the European Environment Agency on Oct 15.

  Although both the composition and levels of air pollution can vary dramatically from one location to the other, the 1ARC said its conclusions apply to all regions of the world. “Given the scale of the exposure affecting people worldwide, this report should send a strong signal to the international community to take action without further delay,” said Christopher Wild, director of the IARC.

  1、What might be the best title of the passage?

  A.Signals of air pollution

  B.Safety limits of air pollution

  C.Air pollution, cancer risk

  D.Air pollution, smog risk

  What’s the main task of IARC?

  A.To focus on cancer-causing substances.

  B.To evaluate the air quality.

  C.To study the developing risk of cancer.

  D.To send signals to the international community.

  Why should the international community take action without further delay?

  A.The composition and levels of air pollution vary from place to place.

  B.More and more people in developing countries are exposed to air pollution.

  C.Developed countries face air pollution, the level of which is higher than the safety limits.

  D.A large number of people worldwide are exposed to air pollution.

  阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

  Today, ultrasonic(超声的) waves are being put to work in laboratories and factories. If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forth hundreds of thousands of times each second. This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解,使溶解) in liquids. Paint manufacturers(制造商) use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors. The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film.

  The new lightweight(轻量的) type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean. Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes. The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean. There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way.

  Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it. The liquid is actually torn apart by this action. Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again. The result is a powerful pounding action. In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均匀,使匀质) milk and sterilizing(使无菌) it at the same time. If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid. In order to make milk easier to digest, these fat droplets(微粒) may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings. The result is called homogenized milk. When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces. (from www.nmet168.com)

  1. Why does a paint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors?

  A. Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors.

  B. Because the waves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids.

  C. Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves.

  D. Because the waves can clean the paint.

  2. What properties does ultrasound wave have?

  A. Homogenizes and sterilizes the milk.

  B. Mix materials and break droplets.

  C. Kill germs and sterilize milk.

  D. Move liquids quickly.

  3. What exists in the raw milk?

  A. Little drops of butter fat.

  B. Small holes.

  C. Fat droplets and germs.

  D. Chemicals.

  4. Where is ultrasound wave not used?

  A. In the paint manufacture.

  B. In the shop mixing bread flour.

  C. In the film-making company.

  D. In the dairy industry.

  1. B 事实细节题。根据其上句 This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解,使溶解) in liquids 可知,答案选 B。

  2. D 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的第 1 句 Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it可知,答案选 D。

  3. C 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段的内容,特别是最后一句 When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces 可知,答案选 C

  4. B 推理判断题。根据文章第 1 段最后提到的 Paint manufacturers(制造商)…以及The companies that make film… 两句排除选项 A、C,根据第 3 段第 5 句的 In the dairy industry this is used for… 排除选项 D,从而得出答案是 B。
