B
The turn f the year is traditinally the time fr reviewing ne’s life, and perhaps fr making sme reslutins as t what t cncentrate n in the cming year; and fr many years past I have taken advantage f the hliday perid t review my wn gal and ambitin.
One thing I d decide t d this year, with sme unwillingness, is t give up writing the Grumpy Old Bkman clumn in this magazine. It’s nt that I’ve lst interest in the bk wrld, yu understand. But Lenard Wlf, husband f writer Virginia Wl, used t say that a man shuld change his career every seven years. Thugh persnally I wuld say that changing yur whle career s ften is ging a bit far, I d find, during my wn wrking life, that it acts as a great refresher if yu can ccasinally try a new jb within the same rganizatin r line f business.
It is in fact well ver 15 years since ur editr wrte t me and asked if I wuld be interested in writing a regular piece abut what was, even then, a rapidly changing publishing scene. He apprached me because since 2004 I had been writing a regular blg called, amazingly enugh, Grumpy Old Bkman.
As my mnthly survey f develpments in bth traditinal and digital publishing cntinued, in this magazine, I began t realize that writers in this century, f bth fictin and nn-fictin, are living in smething clse t a paradise. Once, yu struggled fr years t find a publisher—r an agent if yu wanted ne—but nw yu can publish yur wn stuff, either digitally r in paperback, withut it csting yu a penny piece. Amazing.
After abut five years f prducing such clumns, at just under a thusand wrds a time, it ccurred t me that, rather than let these essays drift away n the seas f time, it might be f value t ptential readers t publish my thughts and cmments in bk frm. Hence, in 2014, I published the first 69 GOB clumns in paperback frmat, using Amazn’s Create space facilities. Title: Writers Rejice! A mnthly diary f the dawn f the digital age, which was my first trial. And nw I sincerely wish a new 2022.

B. He is very keen n trying smething new.
C. He is fed up with the career linked t bks.
D. He’s used t changing his jb every seven years.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But Lenard Wlf, husband f writer Virginia Wl, used t say that a man shuld change his career every seven years. Thugh persnally I wuld say that changing yur whle career s ften is ging a bit far, I d find, during my wn wrking life, that it acts as a great refresher if yu can ccasinally try a new jb within the same rganizatin r line f business.(但是伦纳德·伍尔夫，作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔的丈夫，曾经说过一个男人应该每七年换一次职业。虽然我个人会说，如此频繁地改变整个职业生涯有点过分，但我确实发现，在我自己的工作生涯中，如果你能偶尔在同一机构或同一业务领域尝试一份新工作，这是一种很好的提神剂)”可知，作者放弃写专栏是因为他采纳了伦纳德·伍尔夫的建议。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“As my mnthly survey f develpments in bth traditinal and digital publishing cntinued, in this magazine, I began t realize that writers in this century, f bth fictin and nn-fictin, are living in smething clse t a paradise. Once, yu struggled fr years t find a publisher—r an agent if yu wanted ne—but nw yu can publish yur wn stuff, either digitally r in paperback, withut it csting yu a penny piece.(随着我每月对传统出版和数字出版发展的调查继续进行，在这本杂志上，我开始意识到，这个世纪的小说和非小说作家，都生活在一个接近天堂的地方。曾经，你要花好几年的时间才能找到出版商——如果你想找的话也可以找个代理商——但现在你可以出版自己的作品了，无论是电子版的还是平装本的，每本都不用花一分钱)”可推知，作者认为现今对小说和非小说作家非常友好，活在当下是一种福气。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The turn f the year is traditinally the time fr reviewing ne’s life, and perhaps fr making sme reslutins as t what t cncentrate n in the cming year; and fr many years past I have taken advantage f the hliday perid t review my wn gal and ambitin.(传统上，新年伊始是回顾人生的时候，或许也是制定新年计划的时候;多年来，我一直利用假期回顾自己的目标和抱负)”可知，作者是个善于自我反省的人，再根据二段中“But Lenard Wlf, husband f writer Virginia Wl, used t say that a man shuld change his career every seven years. Thugh persnally I wuld say that changing yur whle career s ften is ging a bit far, I d find, during my wn wrking life, that it acts as a great refresher if yu can ccasinally try a new jb within the same rganizatin r line f business.(但是伦纳德·伍尔夫，作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔的丈夫，曾经说过一个男人应该每七年换一次职业。虽然我个人会说，如此频繁地改变整个职业生涯有点过分，但我确实发现，在我自己的工作生涯中，如果你能偶尔在同一机构或同一业务领域尝试一份新工作，这是一种很好的提神剂)”可知，作者是个目的明确的人，所以综上可知，我认为作者是个目标明确，善于自我反省的人。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The turn f the year is traditinally the time fr reviewing ne’s life, and perhaps fr making sme reslutins as t what t cncentrate n in the cming year; and fr many years past I have taken advantage f the hliday perid t review my wn gal and ambitin.(传统上，新年伊始是回顾人生的时候，或许也是制定新年计划的时候;多年来，我一直利用假期回顾自己的目标和抱负)”可知，本文主要是讲作者如何反思自己，再根据最后一段“After abut five years f prducing such clumns, at just under a thusand wrds a time, it ccurred t me that, rather than let these essays drift away n the seas f time, it might be f value t ptential readers t publish my thughts and cmments in bk frm.

And nw I sincerely wish a new 2022.(在写了大约5年这样的专栏，每次不到1000字之后，我突然想到，与其让这些文章在时间的海洋中漂流，不如把我的想法和评论以书的形式发表出来，对潜在的读者可能会有价值。因此，在2014年，我用亚马逊的Create空间设施出版了第一批69个平装本的GOB专栏。标题:作家们欢呼吧!一本记录数字时代黎明的月报，这是我的第一次尝试。现在，我真诚地祝愿一个新的2022)”可知，作者通过反思于是有了自己的又一新的专栏。所以作者主要想告诉我们反思可以推动我们前进。故选C项。
C
In English it’s cmmn t say, “I knw this twn like the back f my hand!” While we may knw ur twns really well, hw well d we actually knw ur hands? Maybe nt quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.
Matthew Lng and his team frm University Cllege Lndn studied the left hands f 100 peple. With their hands placed palms dwn under a bard, Lng’s team gave the instructin t pint t their knuckles (指关节) and fingertips with a marker. Hw did they d? Nt that well.
“Peple think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Lng. He said they als seemed t think their fingers were shrter than their true lengths. Peple were mst accurate when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up t their pinkies (小手指)。
“It is cnnected t ur sense f psitin,” explained Lng. Humans knw where different parts f ur bdies are, even if we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a jint is straight r nt,” said Lng. “We als need t knw the distances between ur jints,“ he went n. Our brains knw the sizes and shapes f ur bdies frm the maps they make fr themselves. “This experiment tried t find thse maps,” he said.
Maybe maps dn’t need t be perfect. But why aren’t ur brains mre accurate? Lng said ur brains “see” areas based n ur sense f tuch, with the strnger the sense f tuch in a specific bdy part, the bigger that bdy part seems. An example is ur lips. As they have mre nerves than ur nses, ur brain’s map shws ur lips are bigger. The same thing can happen with bdy parts that have a lt f nerves. If yu’ve ever had smething stuck in yur teeth it prbably felt huge! That’s because ur tngues als have lts f nerves.
If yu want t have sme fun, try this test with yur classmates. Get sme bards and sme markers and have them mark the spts where they think their knuckles and fingertips are. Cmpare their hands t the marker spts and see hw well they have perfrmed.
8. What can we learn frm the experiment?
A. Peple are always mre accurate t judge the width f their palms.
B. The experiment is t measure with and length f hands accurately.
C. Peple’ s perceptin f hands is nt smething they take fr granted.
D. The experiment explres the difference between left and right hands.
9. What des the underlined wrd “It” in Paragraph 4 refer t?
A. The size f the hand.B. The misbelief peple had.
C. The map the brain makes.D. The psitin f each bdy part.
10. Accrding t the passage, what’s the key factr in affecting ur perceptin f hands?
A. The shapes f ur bdies.B. Maps f rgans.
C. The distances between jints.D. The brain.
11. What’s the purpse f the passage?
A. T give us a further insight int the brain.
B. T cnvince us that seeing is nt believing.
C. T cnduct a wider research abut ur hands.
D. T intrduce an easy but interesting experiment.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了人们并不像自己以为的那样了解自己手的尺寸，因为大脑“看”身体的区域是基于触觉，所以大脑会扭曲人们对自己身体的认知。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“While we may knw ur twns really well, hw well d we actually knw ur hands? Maybe nt quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.(虽然我们可能非常了解我们的城镇，但我们到底有多了解我们的手?一项科学研究称，可能没有我们想象的那么好。)”可知人们对手的了解并不像我们以为的那样，故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“‘Peple think their hand is wider than it actually is,’ said Lng. He said they als seemed t think their fingers were shrter than their true lengths. Peple were mst accurate when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up t their pinkies (小手指)。(Lng说:“人们认为自己的手比实际要宽。他还说，大家似乎还认为自己的手指比实际长度短。人们在找大拇指时最准确，但越指向小拇指，准确率就越低。)”可知此段介绍了人们对手尺寸的误解；第四段第一句“‘It is cnnected t ur sense f psitin,’ explained Lng. (‘这与我们的方位感有关。’Lng解释道。)”中的It指代第三段所阐述的人们所以为的内容，即对于手尺寸产生的误解。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Lng said ur brains ‘see’ areas based n ur sense f tuch, with the strnger the sense f tuch in a specific bdy part, the bigger that bdy part seems. An example is ur lips. As they have mre nerves than ur nses, ur brain’s map shws ur lips are bigger. The same thing can happen with bdy parts that have a lt f nerves. ( Lng说大脑‘看到’的区域是基于触觉，身体某个特定部位的触觉越强，这个部位看起来就越大。我们的嘴唇就是一个例子。因为它们比我们的鼻子有更多的神经，所以我们的大脑地图显示我们的嘴唇更大。同样的事情也会发生在有很多神经的身体部位。)”可知大脑通过触觉“看”到区域，也就是神经，特定部位上的神经越强，身体部位看起来就越大，所以影响我们对手的概念的关键因素是神经，也就是我们的大脑。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段“In English it’s cmmn t say, ‘I knw this twn like the back f my hand!’ While we may knw ur twns really well, hw well d we actually knw ur hands? Maybe nt quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.(在英语中，我们常说：‘我对这个城镇了如指掌！’虽然我们可能非常了解我们的城镇，但我们到底有多了解我们的手?一项科学研究称，可能没有我们想象的那么好。)”从人们对手的了解出发，介绍了人们对手的尺寸的误解与大脑通过触觉感知身体的不同部位有关，大脑会扭曲我们对身体的认知。所以这篇文章的目的是更深层次地介绍了我们的大脑，故选A。
D
Sme late Stne Age Eurpeans may have carried make-up inside mini bttles wrm arund their necks r waists mre than 6,000 years ag.
Researchers have fund traces f ingredients knwn t be used in csmetic frmulatins (配力) by later civilizatins inside small bttles unearthed in Slvenia, dating t between 4350 and 4100 B.C, mre than 200 years earlier than previusly thught. In 2014, Bine Kramberger at the Institute fr the PCHS fund a mini ceramic bttle al an ancient site nce ccupied by peple f the Lasinja culture in arund 4350 B. C. Mre than 100 similar bttles have als been fund.
Their purpse was unknwn, but it is thught that sme might have been children’s tys. Curiusly, mst f them have hles in their tiny handles r edges that archaelgists think peple threaded string thrugh, enabling them t be wrn arund the neck r waist. But Kramberger’s find was different because it cntained a slid white substance. “It was clear that it had valuable infrmatin because in such ld archaelgical sites, we rarely find cntainers that still keep remains f their frmer cntent,“ he says.
Lng and thin stne tls were fund near the bttle, which culd have been used t extract the substance within. Nw, Kramberger and his clleagues have analysed the substance in the bttle and examined 13 thers frm the same perid.
The mystery material cntained a white lead mineral called cerussite, while different lead minerals were identified in tw ther bttles. The three lead-cntaining bttles als had cntents cming frm beeswax (蜂蜡) inside.
The bttles’ cntents culd have been used fr painting. says Kramberger. But he says it is mre likely that they were csmetics, because they cntained cmmn ingredients fr such prducts knwn frm later cultures. Cerussite pwder was very ppular amng the ancient Greeks and Rmans fr skin whitening and remedies, despite is knwn txicity (毒性).
Gaydarska says the new study supprts what archaelgists have lng thught—“that the abilities and cultures f Nelithic peple were far mre cmprehensive and cmplicated than they are ften given credit fr”.
12. Why are the small bttles unearthed in Slvenia special?
A. The bttles might have been wrn arund the necks r waists.
B. The bttles cntained sme ingredients related t the make-up.
C. The time f the bttles is much earlier than previusly thught.
D. Researchers were astnished at the number f the similar bttles.
13. Accrding t Kramberger’s finding, what is the substance cntained in the bttles?
A. String.B. White paint.C. Stne tls.D. Cerussite.
14. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The technlgy f extracting substances was already advanced in ancient times.
B. Cerussite pwder was a perfect slutin t skin prblems fr ancient Eurpeans.
C. It’s easy fr archaelgists t find the cntainers with remains f frmer cntent.
D. The cultures f Nelithic peple were cmmnly believed t be easy and simple.
15. What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A. Peple in ancient times had an eye fr beauty.
B. Eurpeans may have wrn make-up in the Stne Age.
C. Cntents f the bttles fund in Slvenia were analyzed.
D. There are varius reasns fr ancient Eurpeans’ wearing make-up.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第第二段“Researchers have fund traces f ingredients knwn t be used in csmetic frmulatins (配力) by later civilizatins inside small bttles unearthed in Slvenia, dating t between 4350 and 4100 B.C, mre than 200 years earlier than previusly thught.”（研究人员在斯洛文尼亚出土的小瓶中发现了后来文明在化妆品配方中使用的成分痕迹，这些成分可以追溯到公元前4350年至4100年，比之前认为的要早200多年。）可知斯洛文尼亚出土的小瓶子很特别，因为瓶子里含有一些与化妆品有关的成分。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“The mystery material cntained a white lead mineral called cerussite, while different lead minerals were identified in tw ther bttles.”（这个神秘的物质含有一种叫做白铅矿的白色铅矿物，而在另外两个瓶子中发现了不同的铅矿物。）可知根据Kramberger的发现，瓶子里含有Cerussite。故选D项。
