26、 Piaget’s theory of cognitive (认知) development is a theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It was first created by the Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget(1896-1980). The theory deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans gradually come to acquire, construct, and use it. Piaget’s theory is mainly known as a developmental stage theory.
To Piaget, cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental experience He believed that children construct an understanding of the world around them, experience differences between what they already know and what they discover in their environment and then adjust their ideas accordingly. Besides, Piaget claimed that cognitive development is at the center of the human organism, and language is depending on knowledge and understanding acquired through cognitive development.
Piaget’s earlier work received the greatest attention. Child-centered classrooms and “open education” are direct applications of Piaget’s views. Despite its huge success, Piaget’s theory is not perfect and Piaget has recognized it himself: for example, the theory supports sharp stages rather than continuous development.
Piaget noted that reality is a dynamic system of continuous change. Reality is defined (给...下定义) in reference to the two conditions that define dynamic systems, Specifically, he argued that reality involves transformations and states. Transformations refer to all manner of changes that a thing or person can experience States refer to the conditions or a appearances in which things or persons can be found between transformations. For example, there might be changes in shape or form, in size, or in placement or location in space and time. Thus, Piaget argued, if human intelligence is to be adaptive, it must have functions to represent both the transformational and the static aspects of reality.
【1】What does the underlined “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.The knowledge itself. B.Cognitive development.

【2】Piaget’s theory of cognitive development .

C.comes with some limitations D.is about human nature and development
【3】What are the two conditions of reality?
A.Space and time. B.The conditions and the appearances.
C.Changes in shape and form. D.Transformations and states.
【4】Which can serve as the best title for this text?

28、 Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. For example, it may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer(乳腺癌)in ways that were not possible.
Rishi Rawat teaches AI at a University in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. He says, "You put information about cancer cells(细胞)into a computer and it will learn the cancerous growth patterns(方式). The pattern recognition is very important to making decisions."
At present, researchers have to take a thin piece of tissue(组织), put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cell-growth patterns. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say artificial intelligence can do it better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can quickly recognize patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized.
The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick recognition of cancerous cell-growth patterns that is free of human mistakes. Rawat adds that the process could be done “for almost no cost for the patients”. But having a large amount of information about cells is important for a machine to effectively do its job.
Once the cancerous growth pattern is recognized, doctors still have to treat the patient. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer.
David Agus is another researcher of the team. He believes, “Computers will help doctors make better decisions and look for those patterns that the human brain can’t recognize by itself. But they will not treat patients.”
【1】AI technology may ______.
A.treat breast cancer all by itself
B.provide free cancer treatment for the patients
C.recognize the cancerous I growth patterns faster
D.help doctors avoid making mistakes in cancer treatment
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The process of treating cancers.
B.The process of adding color to cells.
C.The process of taking a piece of tissue.
D.The process of recognizing the cell-growth.
【3】What can be inferred from David Agus’ words?
A.AI will develop fast in the future.
B.AI can be useless in treating cancers.
C.AI will not replace doctors.
D.AI can provide the doctors with treatments.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Advantages of AI B.AI Makes Better Doctors
C.Future Cancer Treatments D.AI Helps Pattern Recognition
29、As the saying goes, “Your attitude determines your altitude.” The type of attitude you approach life with will significantly impact the level of success you will or will not have. 【1】
Attitude of Positivity
Positivity has a direct relationship with possibilities. People who are negative tend to have a fixed mindset, and are closed off to all of the possibility that exists in life. 【2】 On the contrary, when someone has a positive outlook and attitude. they are much more likely to have a growth mindset and are open to the abundance that exists within the world.
Attitude of Gratitude
Some people grow up not seeing any models of success in their immediate environment. They are also fed limiting stories, from those closest to them, about their inability to ever be able to create a great life for themselves. 【3】 And those limiting stories may put them into a state of negativity. If you're not careful, comparison will take your life apart. That's why an attitude of gratitude is so important. It takes you out of focusing on what you don't have. It helps you to focus on all that you do have.
Attitude of Greatness
【4】 Because of the need to survive experienced by our ancestors, our minds naturally have a bent towards the negative. Although we don't have to worry about a saber tooth tiger jumping out of a bush anymore, our brains are still wired that way. So we have to consciously choose to be positive.
Your attitude is of great importance. Don't try to fight against that truth. 【5】
A.Don't let negative mindset disturb you.
B.You can't expect luck always favors you.
C.Negativity and a victim mindset go hand in hand.
D.Accept it, and allow it to guide you on a daily basis.
E.You are supposed to choose to have a good attitude.
F.So, they grow up with a fixed mindset about their potential.
G.Let's look at a few must-have attitudes that you need in your life.
