26、 It can take time to practice critical thinking, and it's never too late to start. The Foundation for Critical Thinking suggests that practicing the following four steps will help you become a critical thinker.
Ask questions
Critical thinkers start by asking questions about whatever is in front of them.【1】. If this, then what? If that, then how is the outcome different? They understand that every action has a consequence.
Seek information
Once you have asked every question you can come up with about a matter, seek information that will help you answer those questions. 【2】.
You can learn almost anything on the Internet, but it's not the only place to do your research. Interview people! Ask the experts around you. Gather information and various opinions you can use to make your own determination.
Analyze with an open mind
You've got a pile of information, and now it's time to analyze it all with an open mind. 【3】. It can be pretty difficult to recognize the stereotypes(惯性思维) that were fixed in us from our first families.
Try to be as aware as possible of those stereotypes and biases(偏见), and turn them off. 【4】. Are you being objective? Accepting anything as truth without checking? This is the time to look at every thought as purely as possible.
【5】
Once you've reached a conclusion through critical thinking, it's time to communicate and present a solution if one is called for. Not everyone involved will have thought the situation through as critically as you have. It's your job to understand that, and to present solutions in a way that everyone can understand.
A. This is the most challenging part
B. Do some research
C. Question everything during this step
D. Facts speak louder than words
E. They consider cause and effect
F. Two heads are better than one
G. Communicate solutions
27、 Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China's tea houses and theaters.
Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the students of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan—all leading crosstalk artists of years past-for only 20 yuan. The success in Tianjin has also caused the comeback of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form began in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644﹣1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was well﹣known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the chief form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.
The Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there're hundreds of traditional pieces, they're constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. It's one of the characters that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums (萎靡不振) with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its popularity with crosstalk fans, especially young people, realizing its rare qualities.”
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang. “They're sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”
【1】What does the underline phrase "draw on" mean in paragraph 6?
A.keep away from B.make use of C.think little of D.tum their back to
【2】What can we learn from the text?
A.Crosstalk first arose in Tianjin.
B.Crosstalk was mainly performed at teahouses in the past.
C.Crosstalk was the most popular art form in the 20th century.
D.Crosstalk didn't appear until the Qing Dynasty.
【3】Crosstalk has been a public art form partly because .
A.it is a popular traditional art after all
B.the pieces contain some famous folk tales
C.the crosstalkers make it return to teahouses
D.the pieces are made to suit the times and the audience
【4】We can learn that the future of crosstalk first lies in .
A.setting up more storytelling art schools B.beating TV and other arts
C.young people's understanding of its value D.a strong market
28、 Today, with the increasing use of social media, teachers and students have greater access to one's personal history than ever before.
While social media users in education argue that teacher-student connection on social networks are harmless, Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist (精神科医生) in Beverly Hills, Calif., believes any one-on-one private relationship out of the classroom begs for improper behavior to begin. Iris Fanning, a family-counseling provider ( 家庭关系咨询师) for school districts in Albuquerque, N.M., says major concerns arise when students begin to see teachers as friends. “When I entered education, there was a clear wall of boundaries ( 边 界 ) between students and teachers,” Fanning says. “You still have to have those boundaries, and I think we've got away from that.”
In response to some of the possible threats of social media, some school districts are now limiting after-school dialogue between students and teachers.
“I think teachers should be allowed to add us on social media because that's how we communicate,” says Brown, a high school senior in Ohio, who hasn't befriended any of her teachers on social networks. “But I also think that some teachers would cross the line. I do agree that it needs watching over but they shouldn't be cut off completely.”
Most recently, in Missouri, the state passed Senate Bill 54, which bans students and teachers from having any connections on social media. The bill was created as a strong measure to protect children from entering into improper relationships with teachers. Dave Childers, head teacher at ACEL Fresno Charter High School in California, says it's disheartening to see laws that limit the ability for teachers to connect with students through social media. “We could go as far as saying teachers shouldn’t be allowed to coach sports or advise a club, because when you do that you have extra connections and stronger relationships,” he notes.
【1】One-on-one private teacher-student connection may give rise to concerns because it .
A. highlights teachers’ role as friends
B. encourages the threats of social media
C. clouds the necessary teacher-student boundaries
D. places fewer responsibilities on teachers than before
【2】Sami Brown would probably agree to in teacher-student connection.
A. ban social media B. move across the dividing line
C. keep an eye on social media users D. heavily punish improper behaviors
【3】The underlined word “disheartening” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. shameful B. understandable
C. encouraging D. frustrating
29、 A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.
Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.
Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.
“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.
Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.
“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.
These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen-a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.
These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.
Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however — there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explained.
The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.
B．People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.
C．It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.
D．It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.
【2】One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _______.
A．carrying oxygen around the body
B．improving athletes’ performance
C．detecting oxygen
D．increasing level of oxygen
【3】What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training?
A．Negative.
B．Doubting.
C．Positive.
D．Hesitating.
【4】The best title of the passage may be _______.
A．Great Findings Benefits Athletes A Lot
B．Frogs And Mice Are Distant Relatives
C．First Known Animal Breathes Through Skin
D．Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through Skin

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
