A study of violinists found that merely good players practised as much as better players, leaving other factors such as quality of education, learning skills and perhaps natural talent to account for the difference.
This finding challenges the 10, 000-hour rule promoted in Malcolm Gladwell’s 1993 study of
violinists and pianists. Gladwell states that enough practice will make an expert of anyone. “The idea has been popular and entrenched in our culture for years. It’s not an idiom but an
overstatement,” said Brooke Macnamara, the lead author. “When it comes to human skill, a
complex combination of environmental factors and genetic factors explains the performance differences across people.”
Macnamara and her colleagues set out to repeat part of the 1993 study to see whether they
reached the same conclusion. They interviewed three groups of 13 violinists regarded as best, good, or less accomplished about their practice habits, before having them complete daily diaries
of their activities over a week. While the less skillful violinists reached an average of about 6,000
hours of practice by the age of 20, there was little to separate the good from the best, with each reaching an average of about 11,000 hours. In all, the number of hours spent practising accounted for about a quarter of the skill difference across the three groups.
Macnamara believes practice is less of a driver. “Once you get to the highly skilled groups,
practice stops accounting for the difference. Everyone has practised a lot and other factors are at play in determining who goes on to a higher level,” she said. “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. To complicate matters further, one factor can drive another. Children who enjoy playing the violin, for example, may be happy to practise because they do not see it as a trouble.”
The authors of the 1993 study are unimpressed. Macnamara said it was important for people
to understand the limits of practice, though. “Practice makes you better than you were yesterday, most of the time,” she said. “But it might not make you better than your neighhour or the other kid in your violin class.”
4. What does the underlined word “entrenched” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Rooted. B. Advanced. C. Changed. D. Unconfirmed.
5. What can we learn about Macnamara’s study?
A. It convinced Malcolm Gladwell. B. It involved violinists and pianists.
C. Its process was similar to the 1993 study. D. Its result is consistent with the 1993 study.
6. What does Macnamara find about highly skilled people?
A. Practicing for 11,000 hours is their main driver.
B. They enjoy keeping diaries about their progress.
C. Environmental factors have little relation to their success.
D. More practice makes little difference to their further progress.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. What makes an expert? B. Does practice make perfect?
C. The early bird catches the worm D. Enthusiasm is the key to success
C
What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades with finely carved handles. These ancient coins
英语试题第2页（共8页）
existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.
Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people
represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also
talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.
Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries, metalworkers made these coins
into more abstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract, people carved them with number values and
the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in
writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade.
This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to
interact with our digital information more smoothly.
Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land.
My point is that the metaphors of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer
us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home.
8. Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade?
A. Because a lot of emphasis was put on agriculture.
B. Because this stylish design made the coins valuable.
C. Because these coins also served as agricultural tools.
D. Because the handles made the coins easily exchanged.
9. Why does the author relate computers to spade coins in Paragraph 2?
A. To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented.
B. To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins.
C. To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did.
D. To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation.
10. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Flexible. B. Essential. C. Wasteful. D. Alternative.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. What Coins and Computers Bring Us
B. How Agriculture Loses to Digital Industry
C. How Bronze Age Develops to Information Age
D. What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future IT

D
People with a rare genetic disorder known as Prader-Willi syndrome never feel full, and this excess hunger can lead to life-threatening obesity (肥胖症). Scientists studying the problem have now found that the fist-shaped structure known as the cerebellum (小脑) -- which had not previously been linked to hunger -- is key to regulating satiation (饱食) in those with this
condition.
This finding is the latest in a series of discoveries revealing that the cerebellum, long thought
to be primarily involved in movement harmony, also plays a broad role in cognition, emotion and behavior. “We’ve opened up a whole field of cerebellar control of food intake,” says Albert Chen, a neuroscientist at the Scintillon Institute in California.
The project began with an accidental observation: Chen and his team noticed they could
make mice stop eating by activating small pockets of neurons (神经元) in regions known as the anterior deep cerebellar nuclei (aDCN), within the cerebellum. Fascinated, the researchers gathered data using functional MRI to compare brain activity in 14 people who had Prader-Willi syndrome with activity in 14 unaffected people while each testee viewed images of food -- either
immediately following a meal or after fasting (禁食) for at least four hours.
New analysis of these scans revealed that activity in the same regions Chen’s group had accurately pointed out in mice, the aDCN, appeared to be significantly disturbed in humans with Prader-Willi syndrome. In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants
with the disorder. The result suggested that the aDCN were involved in controlling hunger. Further
experiments on mice, conducted by researchers from several different institutions, demonstrated that activating the animals’ aDCN neurons dramatically reduced food intake by weakening how the brain’s pleasure center responds to food.
For years neuroscientists studying appetite focused mainly either on the hypothalamus, a
brain area involved in regulating energy balance, or on reward-processing centers such as the nucleus accumbens (伏隔核). But this group has identified a new feeding center in the brain, says Elanor Hinton, a neuroscientist at the University of Bristol in England who was not involved with
the study. “I’ve been working in appetite research for the past 15 years or so, and the cerebellum
has just not been a target,” Hinton says. “I think this is going to be important both for Prader-Willi syndrome and, much more widely, to address obesity in the general population.”
12. Before the recent study, what had scientists assumed?
A. The cerebellum helped control everyday food intake.
B. The cerebellum played a minor role in movement harmony.
C. The cerebellum had nothing to do with appetite regulation.
D. The cerebellum had a direct link to behavioral development.
13. According to the project conducted by the researchers, which of the following is true?
A. The healthy testees were more likely to overeat after fasting.
B. Food images increased the appetite of the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome.
C. The aDCN in the healthy testees responded to food images more actively after fasting.
D. The aDCN in the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome made no response to food images.
英语试题第4页（共8页）
14. What does Elanor Hinton imply about future appetite research?
A. It may help in the early diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome.
B. It will have broader implications for the treatment of obesity.
C. The potential feeding center in human brain remains to be discovered.
D. More studies are needed to understand the link between appetite and reward-processing.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How our brain controls overeating.
B. How the aDCN works up our appetite.
C. How Prader-Willi syndrome can be prevented.
D. How lowering food intake benefits our overall health.

The Hardest Novel I’ve Ever Read
For the last three months, I have glared at its fat heavy form on my floor with a vague sense
of personal failure. I have opened Ulysses twice, determined to finish it, and managed to get all the way to page 46. I have read so little both times that I have never bothered using a bookmark.
16 I like the community this book has created, its inherent sense of freedom and
celebration of all things rude and true. I like that the style and language allow for readers to choose how they read it — some recommend skipping chapter three, others suggest reading it only after reading ABOUT it but I still get stuck.
Why do I get stuck? 17 On the “Most Difficult Novels” list on the Goodreads
website, Joyce takes the top two spots, with Ulysses ranking first and Finnegans Wake following it. I think what is restricting me to page 46 is the language: the big fat burst of Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialogue that, while entertaining me, is also leaving me a little lost.
There are a few other “worthy” works of literature I have yet to read, including Infinite Jest
and War and Peace. 18 I really want to love Ulysses. I feel deeply frustrated that I can’t
finish it, all the while appreciating its uniqueness, weightiness and special “joyousness”.
The English writer Virginia Woolf thought Ulysses was nonsense as she complained in her diaries about the pressure to finish reading it. By contrast, Vladimir Nabokov, the author who
wrote Lolita expressed deep love for it. 19 I have read it similar to a long marriage
(something unpleasant, big reward at the end), modern Jazz-fusion (an innovative genre) and boxing match with oneself (wanting to punch yourself in the face), which is how I felt by page 46.
Some people love Ulysses, so where am I getting wrong? My ultimate hope is that the
struggle will be worth the effort and I can proceed victorious onto page 800 or so, on my third
fourth, eighteenth try. 20
A. I’m not entirely sure myself.
B. Something tells me I will get there in the end.
C. A lot of them are weighty great books, but I like big ones.
D. It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience for everyone.
E. Even when staring at pages without absorbing a word, I thought nice thoughts about it.
F. They, however, only cause me a slight sense of shame that I have not read or enjoyed them.
G. I have been amused and charmed by the first two or three chapters, and then puzzled and bored.

How Running Helped Me Turn My Life Around
I've never been an athlete. Aside from excelling at all academic disciplines at school, my
main goal was to 21 PE at all costs. In my twenties, I went for an occasional yoga or
Zumba class, but that was really the summary of all my athletic accomplishments.
That was until the end of 2016, when I was unexpectedly laid off. The 22 of getting
a new job soon were not in my favor and 23 thoughts of not being good enough started to
kick in. I was feeling quite depressed but pushed myself to go and 24 for the TCS NYC
Marathon runners as the course was going through our neighborhood.
However, while being there, I got phenomenal 25 from all the runners, smiling,
applauding and high-fiving constantly. Not a runner myself, I thought maybe I could give running
a 26 , just to try, to use my neglected gym membership and see where it 27 me.
And so I tried. I went to my local gym the next morning and got on a treadmill (跑步机). I was out
of breath by minute five, but I 28 down, walked for a bit and then restarted.
While I saw my body starting to look more toned, I also noticed my negative thoughts didn't
occur that 29 And it sparked a thought—what if I could set a running 30 and sign
up for my first- ever race? I did and races sort of became a new hobby.
In the meantime, I was able to 31 a few freelance (自由职业的) projects. They
offered me a good 32 , and, most importantly, the time to work out for the big race. Also,
when I was going for interviews, I started to feel very confident in my abilities, experience and skills.
I got my full-time job 33 at my dream company just a couple of weeks before the
half marathon. Although I got an injury from overtraining right before the race, I still went for it
and still finished within my 34 time.
I still have a long running 35 ahead of me — I'd love to work on my speed, my
technique and I dream of running a marathon outside of the US. Running gives me faith that I can do anything I set my mind to.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。There I was stuck AGAIN. This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But
this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school? Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house?
I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The
classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me.
“It isn’t my fault...”
I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write.
Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to
see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it? I hurriedly looked down at my essay.
I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I
checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing!
I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave. “There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us.

One possible version:
“One minute left?” I exclaimed. Everybody looked at me weirdly. I looked down, feeling ashamed. But I had to finish the paper. I tried to ignore everything and continue writing. One more word, I said to myself, come on. Just like this, I forced myself to concentrate and willed my hand to scribble whatever that popped up on my mind. “Time’s up! Put your pens down. Please hand in your test paper to me in the front.” the teacher announced. I finished! I put down my pen, breathing a sigh of relief, and then I stood up and limped towards the teacher to hand it in-my legs felt like noodles, thanks to the extreme tension.
A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us. It was the time for truth! I folded my
paper and held it tightly in my hands, shilly-shallying about whether to check the result in front of my classmates. Finally I decided I should face my fate bravely and unfolded it. It was an “A”! I
could not believe my eyes. How could it be? It was the first time in my life that I had got an “A”. I
turned to look at my teacher. Our eyes met. She nodded and gave me a big smile! At that point, I made a firm resolution: I’d be more hard-working and more confident, so that I wouldn’t be stuck and panic like this again in high school.
