1. With the internet and
smart phones, people have immediate access to news

thing, but can there ever be too much
of it?
2. While access to news is important, the
news itself is usually bad. This

people would buy a newspaper with headlines
like,“Everything is great!” or, “The sky is

You know the old phrase,
“Practice makes perfect.” That may not always be
true. According to a recent study published in
Royal Society Open Science, there
are other
factors for reaching elite
(最优秀的)
levels
of ability.
The researchers set out to
replicate
(复制)
the process of a now-famous
1993
study of top-level violinists and
pianists. On average, the earlier study found that
top-ranked musicians had clocked over 10,000
hours of practice by the age of 20.
believed
their success was due to the hours spent
practicing, not because of
natural talent,
learning skills and other factors.
33. What
can we learn from the 1993 study?
B.
Practice is the key to mastering a skill.
Author Malcolm Gladwell called 10,000 hours “the
magic number of
greatness”.
Questioning this conclusion, Brooke Macnamara and
Megha Maitra, from
Case Western Reserve
University in Ohio, US, sought volunteers to put
the
10,000-hour rule to the test.

The pair
organized violinists into three groups, based on
whether their tutors
rated them as the best
players, good players, or average players. They
were then
told to record how long they
practiced every week.
found that the
“average” players had around 6,000 hours of
practice.
However, there was little separating
the good from the best musicians. Both groups
had approximately 11,000 hours of practice by
the age of 20.
34. What did the study
by Macnamara and Maitra find?
A. The three
groups of violinists varied a lot in their
practice times.
B. The mastering of different
skills required different hours of practice.?
C. Motivation and talent determined whether
one could become an elite
violinist.
D.
Practice time didn’t make much difference between
“the best” and
“good”violinists.
13

“Once you get
to the highly skilled groups, practice stops
accounting for the
difference,” Macnamara told
the Guardian. “Smaller factors then determine who
goes on to that super-elite level.”
“The factors depend on the skill being learned: in
chess it could be
intelligence or working
memory, in sport it may be how efficiently a
person uses
oxygen,” she said. She also
pointed out the factor of motivation and the
interactions of different factors.
It
should be said that neither side (Side 1:1993

discounts
(认为…不重要; 对…不全信; 低估;)
the value of making an
effort. Even
if you aren’t destined (命中注定的) to
be the world’s greatest violinist, practice
will make you a little bit better than you
were yesterday.

“discounts” probably means ______.

From red apples and yellow lemons to
blueberries and green melons, fruit
comes in
many different colors. 36. C. Why do different
kinds of fruit have so
many colors?_
According to scientists, fruit colors actually
come from their different
pigments
(色素)
,
such as red or yellow carotenoid
(类胡萝卜素)
and blue or purple
anthocyanin
(花青素)
. These pigments appear in different
amounts, depending on
the fruit’s environment.
This causes the fruit to turn a certain color.
37. G. Scientists studied more than 280
different fruit colors to find out how
environment affects fruit colors. They found
that red fruit tends to grow in cooler
places.
Instead of just growing in one place, you can find
them growing in many
places around the world.
Blue and purple fruit mostly grows in warm places.
38.
15
英语试题 共9页 第 页
B.
These fruits tend to grow a lot in just one
specific area. The scientists also found
that
the closer the fruit is to the equator, the darker
its color will be.
39. F. Animals have
also had an influence on the evolution of fruit
colors.
Animals eat fruit and drop the seeds
in other places later. This helps the fruit
spread and grow in different places. However,
animals see colors in a different
way.
Therefore, in order to attract animals, some fruit
develop colors that are easy
for animals to
see. For example, birds can see red more easily
than humans can.
40. E. So there tends to be
more red fruit in areas where birds live. The
lemurs
(狐猴)
of Madagascar are red-green
color blind. Many yellow fruit can be found
in
their habitats, as they can easily see this color.
A. How does temperature influence fruit
colors?
B. These fruits tend to grow a lot in
just one specific area.
C. Why do different
kinds of fruit have so many colors?
D.
However, a darker color doesn’t mean a better kind
of fruit.
