We all have defining moments in our lives—meaningful experiences that stand out in our memory. Many of them owe a great deal to chance: a lucky encounter(相遇) with someone who becomes the love of your life. A new teacher who spots a talent you didn't know you had. These moments seem to be the product of fate or luck. We can't control them.
But is that true? Not necessarily. Defining moments shape our lives, but we don't have to wait for them to happen. We can be the authors of them. It is possible to create defining moments if we understand more about them. Our research shows that they all share a set of common elements. We start by asking: why do we remember certain experiences and forget others? In the case of big days, such a weddings, the answer is pretty clear—it's a celebration that is grand in scale and rich in emotion. No surprise that it's more memorable than a maths lesson. But for other experiences in life—from holidays to work projects—it's not so clear why we remember what we do.
Consider an experiment in which participants were asked to submerge(浸入) their hands for 60 seconds in buckets filled with 14℃ water. (Remember 14℃ water feels much colder than 14℃ air.) They were then asked to submerge their hands for 90 seconds instead of 60, but during the final 30 seconds, the water warmed up to 15℃. The participants were then given a choice: would you rather repeat the first trial or the second?
Psychologists have explained the reasons for this puzzling result. When people assess an experience, they tend to forget or ignore its length. Instead they seem to rate the experience based on two key moments: the best or worst moment, known as the peak, and the ending.
In the participants' memories, what stood out for them was that the longer trial ended more comfortably than the shorter one. So when we assess our experiences, we don't average our minutebyminute feelings. Rather, we tend to remember flagship moments: the peaks, the pits(低谷) and the transitions. What we don't remember are the bits in between—sometimes there is little to distinguish one week from the next.
Partly this is because there may be only a dozen moments in your life that show who you
are—those are big defining moments. But there are smaller experiences, too, in the context of a memorable holiday, romantic date or work achievement. Once we understand how we remember certain moments and why, we can start to create more moments that matter.
( )58. How does the author understand defining moments?
A. We can create defining moments in our lives.
B. Defining moments are just out of our control.
C. No similarities exist between defining moments.
D. Defining moments consist of smaller experiences.
( )59. We can learn from the experiment that ________.
A. the striking moments are more likely to be remembered
B. the length of an experience determines our memory of it
C. it is meaningful to distinguish the bits in between flagship moments
D. all the components of an experience should be equally remembered
( )60. What would probably be discussed in the following part of the text?
A. What to prepare for life's trials. B. Why to create defining moments.
C. Whom to owe our good fates to. D. How to create life's big moments.
C
Australian magpies can understand what other birds are saying to each other, a new study has found.
The research, published in the journal Animal Behaviour, says the magpie has learned the meanings of different noisy miner calls and essentially eavesdrops(偷听) to find out which predators(食肉动物) are near.
Noisy miners—a small, native honeyeater—have different warning calls for groundbased and aerial(飞行的) predators. By playing both kinds of recording to a series of wild magpies, researchers observed the magpies raising their beaks(喙) to the sky, or dropping their heads to the ground.
Researchers attracted the magpies with cheese, then played the noisy miner calls, videotaping the results.
As a control, they also rolled a large orange ball towards the magpies to see how they ordinarily tilted(倾斜) their beaks to ground threats, and threw the ball to see how they reacted to aerial threats.
The researchers recorded an average maximum beak angle of 29 degrees for the thrown ball, and an average maximum of nine degrees when it was rolled.
The miners' aerial warning caused an average maximum beak angle of 31 degrees, and the ground warning caused an average maximum of 24.
One of the study's authors, Dominique Potvin, said the magpies showed an astonishing level of insight.
Magpies and miners broadly face the same types of predators and the two frequently live in the same ecosystem.
Potvin said this had encouraged the magpies' learned behaviour.
“Magpies are generally found on the ground and noisy miners are generally found up in trees. It pays for the magpie to pay attention to somebody who has a better view of predators than they
do.”
She said it was unclear whether other birds could do the same, but it was highly likely other magpies around Australia already did.
“Magpies are a pretty smart group. We're not sure if they're learning this from other magpies or if they're figuring it out on their own, but the ability is there.”
As part of the experiment, researchers also played a third call: a common, nonwarning call from a crimson rosella. They found the magpies did not respond.
Potvin said that we had been actively exploring animal cognition(认知) research. “It's a good piece of the puzzle，” Potvin said. “Looking at the social relationships between species that live in communities.”
( )61. What have the researchers found about Australian magpies?
A. They can understand other bird calls.
B. They can communicate with noisy miners.
C. They have a special preference for cheeses.
D. They have the ability to warn the predators.
( )62. How did the researchers get their findings?
A. By calculating the beak angles of aerial and ground predators.
B. By comparing the magpie and the miner responses to threats.
C. By monitoring the magpie responses to the miner warning calls.
D. By recording the magpie louder scream for other birds' attention.
( )63. The magpies' cognition can help them ________.
A. have a better view of the predators than the miners
B. better protect themselves from the potential threats
C. cooperate with other birds to drive away the predators
D. live in harmony with other birds in the same ecosystem
( )64. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the magpies are smart learners of other birds' behaviour
B. it's likely that other birds have developed the same ability
C. the findings have clarified the relationships between species
D. a lot more remains to be explored about animal cognition

UN scholars have calculated that within the next 10 years the degradation(退化) of farm and grassland could turn 50 million people into migrants. Another UN agency calculated that in the last 25 years, another 3% of the planet's forests had been burned or cut down.
Once you have read Gaia Vince's book, you start to register the scale of change in a fastchanging world. Adventures in the Anthropocene holds a mirror up to humanity and says: look what you have done to the world, the only world you will ever have.
The Anthropocene—the Age of Man—is a proposed new name for the quaternary(第四纪) period that we now live in, and it includes what has come to be called the Great Acceleration, in which during the last 65 years, whatever humans did, they did it faster and more effectively, and on a greater scale, while__at__the__same__time__reproducing__more__and__dying__much__less.
Did it take 50，000 years to reach a population of one billion? Just in the last 10 years, another billion people appeared on the planet, and by the end of this century, it could be home to 9, or 10, or 11 billion souls, each of which will hope for the minimum to sustain health and contentment.
Many of them will demand a lot more, which is where the problems begin. To build cities, pave highways and establish factories, humans decades ago became the greatest earthmoving force on the planet: they each year shift more rock and soil than the wind and the rain, the rivers and the glaciers(冰川) combined.
Cities now cover 2% of the planet's land: by 2030, this will be 10%. Over the next 80 years, the species will build a city for one million people every 10 days. To keep these cities functioning, humans will consume 18 terawatts of energy and by 2020, around 5 billion of them will have smartphones, and Internet access, and already people who are miserably poor can see, at a finger's touch, what they are missing, and want it for themselves, and in the course of trying to get it, consume more resources and cause destruction to the ecosystem.
Anyone who reads this book will have no excuse for not thinking about it. Vince doesn't just collect the statistics of exploitation and destruction, she goes to see for herself what they mean. Like a good reporter, she tries to see both sides: she explores both the human destruction and the beneficial and sometimes amazing solutions that human wisdom can deliver. She does the legwork too: she climbs up steep mountainsides in Nepal, and in Ladakh, looks at hydroelectric plans in Patagonia, walks through the forest to get closer to a tiger, steps out in the slums near Cartagena in Colombia, and slips down an Amazon tributary in a dugout.
Everywhere in the world, the ice is disappearing, but in Ladakh, an engineer has worked out a way to make artificial glaciers to store the water for summer growth, and in doing so has given the villagers not just security but a new kind of hope. In every chapter, there are excellent stories like this, glimpses(一瞥) of the other world that perhaps we could have made for ourselves.
Necessarily, to get around a topic that involves all human history and all geography too, she has to be brief, and so in every chapter, she leaves you wanting more. This is usually considered to be a good thing. Good or not, it is difficult to see. And if she helps readers understand a little better the loss and suffering lies behind the exploitation of the rare earths, then it becomes in every sense a good book.
( )65. The statistics in the first paragraph are meant to ________.
A. rid people of their concerns about the earth
B. stress the gravity of the destruction of the earth
C. clarify people's misunderstandings of the earth
D. warn people of the contradictory reports about the earth
( )66. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. more trees were planted and fewer of them died
B. people produced much more than they consumed
C. the birth rate was higher and the death rate was lower
D. more animals were raised and the survival rate was higher
( )67. According to the author, the construction of cities and infrastructures will ________.
A. create more job opportunities for citizens
B. narrow the gap between the rich and the poor
C. promote globalization and economic development
D. cause overconsumption and ecological destruction
( )68. Why does the book set people thinking?
A. Vince's own exploration made her description persuasive.
B. Vince's adventures provide information about mysteries.
C. The book contains some practical solutions from reporters.
D. The book arouses people's curiosity about some countries.
( )69. Gaia Vince writes the book to ________.
A. justify the need of humans for a satisfying life
B. advocate uncivilised life and fast development
C. share with the readers her adventures across the world
D. reveal all we have destroyed but may yet be able to save
( )70. What is the author's attitude toward Gaia Vince's work?
A. Cautious. B. Ambiguous. C. Casual. D. Appreciative.
第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
One of the primary problems of being a human being is: Try as you might to come across in a certain way to others, people often perceive(感知、理解) you in an altogether different way.
One person may think, for example, that by offering help to a colleague, she is coming across as generous. But her colleague may interpret her offer as a lack of faith in his abilities. Just as he misunderstands her, she misunderstands him: She offered him help because she thought he was overworked and stressed. He has, after all, been showing up early to work and going home late every day. But that's not why he's keeping strange hours; he just works best when the office is less crowded.
These kinds of misunderstandings lead to conflict and resentment(怨恨) not just at work, but at home too. How many fights between couples have started with one person misinterpreting what another says and does? He stares at his plate at dinner while she's telling a story and she assumes he doesn't care about what she's saying, when really he is admiring the beautiful meal she made.
Most of the time, Halvorson says, people don't realize they are not coming across the way they think they are. “If I ask you，” Halvorson told me, “about how you see yourself—what traits(特点) you would say describe you—and I ask someone who knows you well to list your traits, there's a big gap between how other people see us and how we see ourselves.”
This gap arises from some quirks(习惯) of human psychology. Most people suffer from what psychologists call “the transparency illusion”—the belief that what they feel, desire, and intend is crystal clear to others, even though they have done very little to communicate clearly what is going on inside their minds.
Because the perceived assume they are transparent, they might not spend the time or effort to be as clear and forthcoming about their intentions or emotional states as they could be, giving the perceiver very little information with which to make an accurate judgment. The perceiver, meanwhile, is dealing with two powerful psychological forces that are warping(歪曲) his ability to read others accurately.
Chances are that your “I'm kind of hurt by what you just said” face probably looks an awful lot like your “I'm not at all hurt by what you just said” face. And the majority of times that you've said to yourself, “I made my intentions clear，” or “He knows what I meant，” you didn't and he doesn't.
