CBI Was the Doughnut LadyIn university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnut s and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wa
34、it for their bus.Every afternoon around four oclock, a group of school children would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didnt mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a
35、ticket went missing-always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives
36、until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four oclock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites.“I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. It means a lot that they c
37、an wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe.” I told him it wasnt a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids.So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark. Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my ow
38、n children. They become, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men a t the skating rink, who let my boys ring home; Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldnt leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys wa
39、lking home in the rain when I was at workeven though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. “Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?”That wasnt a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.41. According to the passage, the author sometimes _.A. sold bus tickets to
40、 the childrenB. gave the children free doughnutsC. did business with the childrens helpD. called the childrens parents to pick them up42.

DCThe Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in
44、 the Forbidden City (我在故宫修文物) does not just focus on the stories of the past.Instead，the documentary movie，which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary peoplethe restorers (修复者) of relics and antiquities (古董).The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restor
45、ers work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.“If you choose this job，you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You
46、need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin an ancient clock repair expert.A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship (工艺) in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill，but also faith and spirit China Daily commented. Looking for preciseness
47、 and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance (忍耐)，loneliness. All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit.”But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and mak
48、e jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says,”The last person to do this was Puyi, the la
49、st emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many peoples ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.46. According to the text，whats t
50、he main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City?A. To show people how antiques are restored.B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers lives.D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.47. Which of the follow
51、ing statements is true?A. Masters in the Forbidden mainly talks about the story of the past.B. Masters in the Forbidden talks about the story of serious expert.C. Masters in the Forbidden shows the enthusiasm of the restorers.D. The idea of the documentary came out on Dec.16.48. According to Wang Ji
52、n, we can learn that _.A. he often gets tired with his workB. there is no need to do restoration work fastC. antique restorers need to be patient and peacefulD. it takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration49. The underlined word “humdrum” probably means _.A. boringB. differentC. relax
53、ingD. unusual50. The bicycle-riding scene in the documentary is used to _.A. remind the audience of the last Qing emperorB. show the strange hobbies of young antique restorersC. encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the futureD. show that the documentary breaks from the
54、old，dull image of antique restorers【答案】46. C 47. C 48. C 49. A 50. DDThe study of psychology is facing a crisis. The Research Excellence Framework (the Ref) has led to a research culture which is holding back attempts to stabilize psychology in particular, and science in general. The Ref encourages
55、universities to push for groundbreaking innovative, and exciting research in the form of 4* papers, but it does not reward the efforts of those who replicate studies.The point of replicating a study is to test whether a statistically significant result will appear again if the experiment is repeated
56、. Of course a similar result may not appear casting into questions the validity of the results from the first experiment.Last year, the Open Science Collaboration attempted to replicate 100 studies from highly ranked psychological journalists. While 97% of the original studies had a statistically si
57、gnificant result, just 36% of the replications had the same outcome. Equally worrying: when an effect did appear, it was often much smaller than previously thought.Recent data calls into question some widely influential findings in psychological science. These problems are not confined to psychology
58、 however many findings published in scientific literature may actually be false.Science is supposed to be self-correcting and reproducible is a cornerstone of the scientific method. Yet, we simply arent invested in replicating findings. We all want to be good researchers and understand more about ho
59、w the world works. So why are we so reluctant to check our conclusions are valid?Because no incentive is provided by the system we carry out our research in. In the UK, the Ref ranks the published works of researchers according to their originality (how innovative is the research?), significance (do
60、es it have practical or commercial importance?), and rigour (is the research technically right?). Outputs are then awarded one to four stars. 4* papers are considered world-leading. The cumulative total of 3* and 4* papers determines research funding allocation and has a knock-on effect on instituti
61、onal position in league tables(排名表) and therefore attractiveness to students. Obviously, the more publications, the better.Worrying, many academics admit to engaging in at least one questionable research practice in order to achieve publication. Examples of this include: coming up with a theory afte
62、r data is collected, stopping collecting data when an effect appears in case it disappears later, or only reporting the significant effects from collected data. Others simply fabricate data-Dutch psychologist Diederik Stapel shockingly falsified data from more than 50 studies.The Ref completely harm
63、s our efforts to produce a reliable body of knowledge. Why? The focus on originality publications exploring new areas of research using new paradigms, and avoiding testing well-established theories is the exact opposite of what science needs to be doing to solve the troubling replication crisis. Acc
64、ording to Ref standards, replicating an already published piece of work is simply uninteresting.With the next Ref submission just four years away, many researchers are effectively faced with a choice: be a good scientist, or be a successful academic who gets funding and a promotion.51. What crisis i
65、s the study of psychology facing?A. The Ref has led to a revolution in not only psychology but also science.B. The universities are encouraged to generate more groundbreaking research.C. The Refs indifference to replications of studies has led to worrying effects.D. The Ref tends to set up a differe
66、nt standard for replications of studies.52. What do the numbers in Para. 3 indicate?A. Scientific studies may not prove scientific.B. Science needs to be updated frequently.C. Journals should be stricter with studies,D. It is getting hard to count on scientists.53. The Refs focus on originality has
67、brought about _.A. a reliable body of knowledgeB. publications exploring new areasC. tests of well-established theoriesD. uninteresting replications of studies54. We can infer from the passage that the Ref _.A. is a system for assessing the quality of research in UK universitiesB. provides UK resear
68、chers with funding and job opportunitiesC. recognizes researchers work and adds to their attractiveness to studentsD. is planning to change its standard before the next Ref submission55. What does the writer mean by saying be a good scientist? A. Reform the standards that have been set up by the Ref
69、.B. Avoid using false research practices to test old theories.C. Give up possible funding and promotion given by universities.D. Contribute to the solution to the replication crisis.【答案】51. C 52.
