25、oke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational 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 Th
26、e 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 serious complications (复杂化), ones that ar
27、e part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.In one interesting part of the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues,
28、we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately 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 through
29、in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding: Dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. 39. According to the text, James March is _.A. a poet who use
30、s experience in his writingB. a teacher who teachers story writing in universityC. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actD. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions40. According to James March, experience _. A. is overvalued B. is easy to explainC. should be active
31、ly soughtD. should be highly respected41. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Experience makes stories more accurate.B. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more a
32、ccurately described.42. Whats the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a book. B. To describe a researcher.C. To explain experiential learning. D. To discuss organizational decision making.CDoctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning s
33、un. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Co
34、nnecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetesthat can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State Univ
35、ersity exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost t
36、heir strong preference for sweet drinks，“ a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed，” Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the wa
37、ter, a sign of “behavioral despair”，10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms
38、 by injecting (注射) the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but c
39、ant easily detect molecular underpinnings (分子基础) as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior. ”43. After bei
40、ng exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice _.A. changed their preferences B. escaped from the water more eagerlyC. remained active as before D. showed less interest in their favorites44. What does the underlined word “quash” in Para. 4 probably mean?A. study B. predict C. ease D. cause45. We
41、can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. light at night may have practical value B. the biological clock is beneficial to humansC. human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD. human studies are more important than animal studies46. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Nighttime light may fos

DThe Great Gatsby was not well received when it was published in 1926. F. Scott Fitzgerald appeared to destroy the American Dream
43、, where in anyone, with enough hard work, could get rich and have whatever they wanted from life. He exposed the truth about such myths in this classic book. Basically, the plot could be described as follows: Poor boy goes East in search of wealth, bored and dissatisfied with inactive Mid West count
44、ry life.He meets the super-rich there, attends parties and makes friends with one man in particular, a lonely millionaire of uncertain origins, Jay Gatsby.He becomes involved with these rich but immoral people, the worst of whom are his own cousin Daisy Buchanan, and her husband Tom.He observes, wit
45、h dawning recognition, the corruption in their lives, how lacking in human values or ethical beliefs they seem to be.He watches tragedy unfold, brought about by the handlings of the wealthy, and visited on the poorer characters.He remains the only friend of Gatsby, arranging his funeral and mourning
46、 his death, and possibly the death of his own American Dream.He wakes up to the reality of what is important in life, and decides to choose what is of value to him.He returns to his origins, having recognized the worth of his up-bringing and the moral values it instilled. He sees that money is not e
47、verything.But let us look at this in a little more depth, because the novel is much more complicated than those simple outlines above suggest.The young man, Nick Carraway, aged 29, lived in a cottage on Long Island. He was an apprentice (学徒) Wall Street trader, and in 1920s, when the novel is set, t
48、his job represented a way to get rich, the core value of the American Dream. Gatsby was a millionaire, who chased a dream too, one of rekindling love with Daisy, Nicks cousin, a bored, rich, totally unfeeling and spoilt woman. Her rich husband, Tom Buchanon, a businessman, was also less than moral,
49、flattering his mistress, Myrtle Wilson, the wife of a garage owner. It was George Wilsons love for Myrtle that brought about the tragedy contained in the Gatsby plot.Gatsby wanted to recapture his dream of love. So he began an affair with Daisy; she was flattered and bored. This action helped to ero
50、de Nicks illusions, and show what wealth can do to people. Gatsby suffered from the realization that Daisy was not the wonderful person he dreamed of, but a shallow and materialistic person.Eventually, Tom Buchanan suspected what was happening between Gatsby and Daisy, and confronted Gatsby. It was
51、soon after this that Daisy ran Myrtle Wilson down, while driving Gatsbys yellow automobile.The tragedy was begun, when Tom Buchanan put the idea into head of George Wilson, that Gatsby had killed Myrtle. In fact, Daisy was secure in the belief that superior status and wealth made her immune, and als
52、o, her character was such that she cared little for another human being. Tom Buchanan was the catalyst (催化剂) that sent the emotionally disturbed George to shoot Gatsby for killing Myrtle, then committing suicide. Two dreams turned to dust：Georges of love and the chance to pursue the dream of capital
53、ist endeavor and success, Gatsbys of recapturing romantic love and the more innocent past, when, in his mind, Daisy was golden and true.The complete destruction was symbolically expressed when none of Gatsbys rich “friends” were touched by his death. It was left to Nick, a relative stranger, to make
54、 the funeral arrangements.This highlighted the total shallowness of that wealthy, corrupt society, and showed what a worthless person Daisy herself was.At the end, Nick returned to the beliefs of his Mid Western upbringing. After one last meeting with Tom Buchanan, one last look at Gatsbys mansion,
55、having buried his friend, he left for home. As Gatsby lost his dream and his life. Fitzgerald drew a portrait of the death of the American Dream.47. According to the author, that The Great Gatsby was not being popular in 1926 was probably because it .A. destroyed American dream of that time B. infor
56、med readers of American valueC. described the life of American upper class D. had complicated relationships of the roles48. The following statements about Nick are true EXCEPT that he .A. betrays his only friendGatsby B. is Daisy Buchannans cousinC. was an apprentice Wall Street trader D. is dissati
57、sfied with Mid West country life49. We can infer from the passage that .A. it was actually Tom Buchanon that killed Myrtle WilsonB. Gatsby was wrongly killed for Daisy setting him a trapC. Gatsby died because of his appetite for unrealistic romantic loveD. George Wilsons love for Daisy was sure to t
58、urn to dust at last50.

59、每小题1分，计10分）We all live in this world. But do we all live well or do we just exist? Living well doesnt have much to do with material things. Of course, we all need the basics of life, such as food and shelter. Material things can only make us think we live well, but, in fact, we may not.So, what is l
60、iving well? Or, more precisely, what is the art of living well?Living well is experiencing a sense of satisfaction, including a feeling of appreciation and thankfulness. This appreciative attitude is like all that is being felt by an artist who has just completed his masterpiece, and who is now look
61、ing at it with self-pleasure, enjoying what he sees.In real living, where does that satisfaction come from?The satisfaction comes from self-attitude. If you think about it, life is all about youwhat happens to you, and what you think what other people think about what happens to you. It is all about
62、 you! So, to live well, you must have positive self-attitude or self-concept. Self-concept does not come from what others think of you, but rather what you think of yourself, or how you have made your life meaningful for yourself. The art of living well is all about the process, rather than the resu
63、lt-this is the good way against all difficulties in life.However, focusing too much on self may not be helpful to living well. Why not? In Buddhism, heaven may come only after one has denied self or has become “no-self”. Christianity also focuses on selflessness or modesty, which is really self-impo
64、rtance, or decreasing self.So, living is all about what happens to self and the understanding of other people on what happens to self. But to live well, one needs to shift the focus from self to other people. It is because the strong desire to satisfy self is forever greedy and hard to achieve; as a
65、 matter of fact, it is often the cause of all human unhappiness. The pursuit of wealth may be the final goal of many, and the understanding of self-worth is more often than that of the wealth accumulated. To pursue that end then becomes the driving force of living. But that pursuit is forever diffic
66、ult, leading to nowhere.The art of living well is to focus on the journey rather than the destination. The destination is either unreachable or comes to a dead end in either case, life would become meaningless and unfulfilled. The art of living well is to focus on other people rather than on self. F
67、ocusing on other people promotes awareness and loving kindness, which makes life meaningful and worth living.No matter what happens to you, no matter what problems you face in life, you have made a difference in your life as well as in that of others that is the art of living well.The art of living

72、nd the thought that their future will be decided by the exam.Its not just students who will face pressure. Human beings are competitive animals and we decide to evaluate each other, whether in exams, in job interviews or even on romantic dates, so all of us occasionally get nervous. Removing pressur

It turns out that we are far more likely to overcome the pressure when we are as familiar as possible with the situation we are about to face. Of course, even when we are well-prepared, we may still f

Also, he gives some suggestions on how to reduce pressure.As far as Im concerned, pressure is part of life. Its quite natural for us to feel stressed occasionally, a
78、t an exam, or when speaking to a stranger. So its of great importance to have a right attitude towards pressure. What we need to do is to relax ourselves and face the challenge positively and initiatively.As Senior 3 students, we have to deal with some grown-up problems and make decisions by ourselv
79、es. Family can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with arguing with parents or brothers or sisters. We also have lots of stress from school, either from our classmates or teachers. However, the greatest pressure comes from study, which worries most of us as the National Matricu
80、lation Test is approaching. We also feel stressed about choosing our education after high school or not affording to go university.In order to reduce pressure, first, a balanced diet and enough sleep are necessary; secondly, I would schedule my study properly so that I can have time to do sports or listen to music; also, friendship, support from my parents and encouragement from my teachers can help me a lot. I would try every means to relax myself and work with high efficiency to achieve my goal.高考资源网版权所有，侵权必究！
