Then, participants were asked to guess how well they had done o
3、n the test. 36 This effect was most pronounced among participants with the lowest scores on the test.David Dunning explains that “the knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task.” In other words,
4、 if someone knows very little about a particular topic, they may not even know enough about the topic to realize that their knowledge is limited. Importantly, someone may be highly skilled in one area, but be influenced by the Dunning-Kruger effect in another domain.37If people who know very little
5、about a topic think theyre experts, what do experts think of themselves? Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger found that although experts typically guessed their performance was above average, they didnt realize quite how well they had done. They often make a different mistake:38What can people do to o
6、vercome the effect? Dunning and Kruger once had some of the participants take a logic test and then complete a short training session on logical reasoning. After the training, the participants were asked to assess how theyd done on the previous test. 39Afterward, the participants who scored in the b
7、ottom 25 percent lowered their estimate of how well they thought they had done on the initial test. In other words, one way to overcome the effect may be to learn more about a topic.The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that we may not always know as much as we think we do.40 However, by challenging ou
8、rselves to learn more and by reading about opposing views, we can work to overcome the effect.AResearchers found that the training made a difference.BThey assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too.CThis happens when people dont know much about a topic.DAll of them had a more accurate view of t
9、heir performance.E. They found that participants tended to overestimate their abilities.F. This means that everyone can potentially be affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect.G. In some domains, we may not know enough about a topic to realize that we are unskilled.【答案】36E37F38B39A40G【解析】这是一篇说明文。你可能听过一
10、些人自信地谈论着他们几乎一无所知的话题。这种现象被称为Dunning-Kruger效应,指的是在某一特定领域相对不熟练或知识不丰富的人有时会倾向于高估自己的知识和能力。文章主要介绍了研究人员是如何进行研究的,以及这项研究结果对人们的启示。36根据后文This effect was most pronounced among participants with the lowest scores on the test.可知这种效应在测试中得分最低的参与者中最为明显。以及下一段中In other words, if someone knows very little about a partic
11、ular topic, they may not even know enough about the topic to realize that their knowledge is limited.可知换句话说,如果一个人对某个话题知之甚少,他甚至可能还没有意识到自己的知识是有限的。由此可知,研究人员发现参与者倾向于高估自己的能力,尤其得分最低的参与者中最为明显。故E选项“他们发现,参与者倾向于高估自己的能力”符合上下文语境,故选E。37根据上文Importantly, someone may be highly skilled in one area, but be influenced
12、 by the Dunning-Kruger effect in another domain.可知重要的是,有些人可能在某个领域非常熟练,但在另一个领域会受到Dunning-Kruger效应的影响。由此可知,本句承接上文说明,这一发现意味着每个人都可能受到Dunning-Kruger效应的潜在影响。故F选项“这意味着每个人都可能受到Dunning-Kruger效应的潜在影响”符合上下文语境,故选F。38根据上文Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger found that although experts typically guessed their perfor
13、mance was above average, they didnt realize quite how well they had done. They often make a different mistake:可知有趣的是,邓宁和克鲁格发现,尽管专家通常会猜测他们的表现高于平均水平,但他们并没有意识到自己的表现有多好。他们经常犯一个不同的错误:由此可知,本句承接上文说明这个错误是什么他们认为其他人也都是知识渊博的。故B选项“他们认为其他人也都是知识渊博的”符合上下文语境,故选B。39根据后文Afterward, the participants who scored in the b
14、ottom 25 percent lowered their estimate of how well they thought they had done on the initial test. In other words, one way to overcome the effect may be to learn more about a topic.可知之后,得分最低的25%的参与者降低了他们对自己在最初测试中的表现的估计。换句话说,克服这种影响的一种方法可能是对某个话题了解得更多。由此可知,训练起作用了。故A选项“研究人员发现,训练起到了作用”符合上下文语境,故选A。40根据上文
15、The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that we may not always know as much as we think we do.可知Dunning-Kruger效应表明,我们可能并不总是像自己认为的那样知道那么多。以及后文However, by challenging ourselves to learn more and by reading about opposing views, we can work to overcome the effect.可知然而,通过挑战自己来学习更多,通过阅读相反的观点,我们可以努力克服这种效果。由此可知
16、,本句是在说明在某些领域,人们可能对某个主题了解不够,以至于意识到自己缺乏技能。故G选项“在某些领域,我们可能对某个主题了解不够,以至于意识到自己缺乏技能”符合上下文语境,故选G。阅读填空【四川省成都市2021届高三高中毕业班摸底】Tips on Learning a New Language Before TravellingWhenever you travel to a foreign place, it is helpful knowing a bit of the local language.16But speaking the local language shows you c

22、A19C20F【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章作者针对如何在旅行前,学习一门新语言这个问题,给出了一些建议。16上文Whenever you travel to a foreign place, it is helpful knowing a bit of the local language.说当你到一个外国旅行时,懂一点当地语言是有帮助的。下文But speaking the local language shows you care and it will help you mix with the locals easily. 但是会说当地的语言会显示你的关心,也会帮助你轻松地融入当地人。
23、该空承上启下,G选项“你可能不知道这些单词的正确发音”切题。G选项中the words指代上文中的a bit of the local language。该选项指出你在旅游时,说当地语言可能存在的一些问题,与下文“说当地语言的好处”形成转折关系。故选G。17上文The more you study the language, the better.说对于这门语言,你学得越多越好。结合该段小标题Practise,强调了练习的重要。E选项“学习一门语言不是一蹴而就的”是上文的原因。下文Think of it like learning an instrument or training for a

26、与母语人士交谈”,该段落中多次出现native speakers,与 A选项中的native speakers相呼应。故选A。19上文There are some free language exchange websites where you can find native speakers to practise with.说有一些免费的语言交换网站,在那里你可以找到说母语的人练习。这里指出了寻找练习机会的渠道,该空承接上文,指出寻找练习机会的另外一个方法。C选项“你也可以找一个私人课程来参加”,其中also是一个很明显的提示词。故选C。20上文Apps like Google Tran

34、t is why many families accept both kinds of schooling.G. As a result, the students forget less of what they learned over the shorter breaks.【答案】36D37A38G39E40B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全年制教育,介绍了其与九个月制的区别,以及全年制教育的缺点和优点。36根据上文Students in year-round schools attend school the same number of days as students in
35、 traditional nine-month schools.可知全年制学校的学生与传统的9个月制学校的学生上课的天数相同。根据后文Instead of the traditional nine months of school and a long, three-month summer vacation, the students have several short breaks between sessions all through the year.可知与传统的9个月的在校学习和3个月长的暑假不同,学生们在一年中有几次短暂的休息。由此可知,上文提到了全年制和九个月制的共同点,那么
36、本句应当是说明全年制与九个月制的不同之处。故D选项“全年制学校的不同之处在于时间安排的不同”符合语境,故选D。37根据上文Instead of single-track schooling that involves an entire school using the same schedule and getting the same vacations off, multiple-track year-round schooling has groups of students attending school at different times with different vaca
37、tions.可知与单轨学校不同的是,多轨学校让不同的学生在不同的时间和假期上学,而不是整个学校使用相同的时间表和相同的假期。由此可知,本句承接上文说明结果,多轨学校因为让不同的学生在不同的时间和假期上学,所以结果就是总有一群学生在放假。故A选项“因此总会有一群学生在放假”符合语境,故选A。38根据上文The major advantage of year-round schooling is that it provides the continuous learning that can be lost over a long vacation as the students are not
38、 ever out of school for a long period of time.可知全年制教育的主要优点是,它提供了持续的学习,而这种学习可能会因为长假期而失去,因为学生不会离开学校很长一段时间。由此可知,本句承接上文继续说明全年制教育的优点,因为学生不会离开学校很长一段时间,所以学生们遗忘的知识会更少。故G选项“因此,在较短的休息时间里,学生们忘记的东西更少”符合语境,故选G。39根据后文For example, with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 stude
39、nts can serve as many as 1,000. This lets school districts with little or no money for building new schools handle a growing student population and save millions of dollars in construction costs.可知例如,如果一群学生总是在放假,一所原本可容纳750名学生的学校就可以容纳多达1000名学生。这样一来,那些几乎没有钱或根本没有钱建新学校的学区就可以应付不断增长的学生人数,并节省数百万美元的建筑成本。由此可
40、知,本段主要说明的是全年教育经常被选择作为削减成本的措施。故E选项“此外,全年教育经常被选择作为削减成本的措施”符合语境,故选E。40根据上文Disadvantages include the inconvenience to families with children in both traditional and year-round schools.(缺点包括对有孩子在传统学校和全年制学校上学的家庭的不便)以及后文And some people say it interferes with activities that take place outside school-includ
41、ing summer employment.(有些人说它会干扰校外活动,包括暑期打工)由此可知,本句与上下文构成并列关系,都是在说明全年制学校的缺点。故B选项“例如,它使制定假期计划变得困难”符合语境,故选B。【2021届江苏省徐州市第一中学新高考全国卷第一次适应性考试】How to keep yourself safe from new virus?After a new-type coronavirus was detected in viral pneumonia cases in Central Chinas Wuhan city three months ago, more case
