阅读理解
It
has
been
discovered
that
after
the
age of
sixteen,
the
number
of
our
brain
cells
begins
to
decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at
its highest point in the early twenties, when it has collected enough information to be able to use the vast number of
cells freely in the most effective way. Pure mathematics is one of the fields in which this happens, and we know that
Albert Einstein made all his world-shaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his
life tidying them up and arranging them.

But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important
than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.

Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom.
One can have a very quick, inventive brain and plenty of experience, but if one uses these foolishly, one harms both
oneself and others. Wisdom does not always come with age ——there are plenty of foolish middle-aged people
about ——but the average person tends to learn wisdom as he gets older, usually by making painful of embarrassing
mistakes. Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible
；

and what is possible but so difficult that
it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature
；

how
real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of
idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate
observation of human nature, but which is basically a waste of time because it is not.

1. According to the writer, the great discoveries made by Albert Einstein were mainly a result in

What good is fear?

2.

It tells a person to hide, run away, or defend oneself. Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and
oxygen to the muscles so they are ready when they are needed. Stress chemicals can make a person more alert.

Our memories also help protect us. We keep a close eye on babies because they don't understand what might
hurt them. As babies grow, they learn what's unsafe, their brains store those memories. Then their brains use fear to
warn them of dangers.

Too much can be harmful

Experiences can lead to long- lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. We
’
re born with the
ability to feel fear, but a lot of what we're afraid of is learned.

Last week our class vote on what to do for our class outing: visit the Singapore Zoo and go on the night Safari

.Our girls wanted to go to the zoo, but since we were in the minority, we lost the boys, who all
wanted the safari. We got the admission rate for students, which was greatly since I still had enough money to buy
a brochure about the park as well as everything at the souvenir shop. The Safari was scary but really a fun. As we
took the ride over the park's dark jungle, we could see the eyes of many creatures look out at us. Most of the animals
here sleep when there is sunlight and wake up at night.

岁左右于巅峰，
在以后的成就多数
是因为需要丰富的经验。除了头脑敏锐和经验丰富外，智慧也非常重要，因为 智慧为人们提供了正确的努
力方向。人们要用智慧来决定做什么才是最好的。

推理判断题。根据第一段
“It has been discovered that after the age of sixteen, the number of our brain cells
begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human
brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, ... and we know that Albert Einstein made all his world- shaking
discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.”

16
岁以 后，我们的脑细胞数量开始以每年几百万的速度减少。在某些类型的活动中，人类的大
脑在
20
岁早期处于巅峰状态
,...
我们知道阿尔伯特
·
爱因斯坦在20
到
25
岁之间做出了所有震惊世界的发
现。用余生来整理和安排这些 发现。根据对爱因斯坦所的发现可知，他的伟大的发现是在
20-25
岁之间，
更是印 证了人类大脑在
20
年代初达到了巅峰（
the human brain is at its highest point
）
，由此可推断出，本段
B
项中的
sharpness of the brain
主要研究人类大脑巅峰期
（大脑的最敏锐）
（大脑最敏锐）
与
（
the human brain
is at its highest point
）是同义词的关系，故

除了敏锐的
头脑和丰富的经验外，还有一件事是非常重 要的，那就是智慧。学习成为智者，要基本的了解什么是不可
能的；学习有可能但又很困难的东西，以至 于不值得一个人为了达到目的而付出所有的努力。最重要的是
了解人性，了解真实的人是如何行为和反应 的，以及人们希望他们如何行为和反应的。由此可推断出智慧

D

D
。

read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based
on an accurate observation of human nature,”
成为智者，要大体上知道什么是不可能的。学习有可能但又如此
困难的东西，以至于不值得一个人为了达到目的而付出所有的努力。最重要的是学习人性，了解真实的人
是如何行为和反应的，以及人们希望他们如何行为和反应的。人们可以读到和听到很多关于如何使世界变
得更美好的理想主义的东西
.......
由此可推断出聪明的人必须运用智慧来决定最好要做 什么事。分析选项可
知
D
项符合题意，故选
D
