The Giza Pyramids are relics f Egypt’s Old Kingdm era and were cnstructed 4,500 years ag. Pharah (法老) Khufu was the first Egyptian king t build a pyramid in Giza, a prject he began arund 2550 BC. His Great Pyramid is the largest in Giza and riginally twered 481 feet abve the plateau. Its estimated 2.3 millin stne blcks each weigh an average f 2.5 — 15 tns.
Khufu’s sn, Khafre, built the secnd pyramid at Giza arund 2520 BC. His burial grund stands ut because it als includes the Sphinx, a limestne mnument with the bdy f a lin and the head f a pharah. The third pyramid at Giza is cnsiderably smaller than the first tw—less than half their height at abut 218 feet. Built by Khafre’s sn Menkaure arund 2490 BC, the pyramid’s cmplex includes tw separate temples and three individual queens’ pyramids.
Accrding t scientists, the builders were skilled Egyptian wrkers wh lived in a nearby temprary city. Batmen used the Nile and a netwrk f artificial waterways t bring materials t the Giza Plateau, including cpper cutting tls frm the Sinai Peninsula and timber (木材) frm Lebann. T sustain the wrkers, they als delivered cattle frm farms near the Nile Delta. Cmmunities acrss Egypt prbably cntributed wrkers, as well as fd and ther essentials.
It’s generally believed that the Egyptians mved massive stne blcks t the heights alng large ramps (坡道), using a system f rpes, rllers, and levers. Sme suggest exterir ramps arund each pyramid were applied, while a mre cntrversial thery suggests internal ramps were used. Perhaps future imaging technlgy will reveal hw Egyptian builders created these timeless mnuments.
As the pyramids helped t build ancient Egypt, they als preserved it. “Many peple think f the site as just a tmb in the mdern sense, but it’s a lt mre than that,” says Harvard University Egyptlgist Peter Der Manuelian. “Almst any subject yu want t study abut the Pharanic civilizatin is available n the tmb walls at Giza—s it’s nt just abut hw the ancient Egyptians died but hw they lived.”

A. It resulted in scial cnflicts.B. It was intended t remain safe.
C. It invlved multiple effrts.D. It did damage t lcal peple.
26. What is still under debate abut the Giza Pyramids?
A. Hw they were intercnnected.B. Hw they wrked in the past.
C. Hw they were cnstructed.D. Hw they were restred.
27. What might be Manuelian’s pinin abut the pyramids in Giza?
A. They are a key symbl f ancient civilizatin.B. They allw us t explre a disappeared wrld.

【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Batmen used the Nile and a netwrk f artificial waterways t bring materials t the Giza Plateau, including cpper cutting tls frm the Sinai Peninsula and timber (木材) frm Lebann.

【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Sme suggest exterir ramps arund each pyramid were applied, while a mre cntrversial thery suggests internal ramps were used.(一些人认为每个金字塔周围都有外部坡道，而一个更有争议理论认为使用了内部坡道)”可知，关于吉萨金字塔是如何构造的还有争论。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Many peple think f the site as just a tmb in the mdern sense, but it’s a lt mre than that,” says Harvard University Egyptlgist Peter Der Manuelian. “Almst any subject yu want t study abut the Pharanic civilizatin is available n the tmb walls at Giza—s it’s nt just abut hw the ancient Egyptians died but hw they lived.”(“许多人认为这个遗址只是现代意义上的坟墓，但它远不止于此，”哈佛大学埃及古物学家彼得·德·马努埃利安说。“几乎所有你想研究的关于法老文明的主题都可以在吉萨的墓墙上找到——所以这不仅仅是关于古埃及人是如何死亡的，还有他们是如何生活的。”)”可知，马努埃利安认为吉萨金字塔让我们探索一个消失的世界。故选B。

Mst teachers assign nvels fr students t read nt write. But many teachers natinwide are nt nly asking students t read nvels but als giving them a mnth t write them. Yes, yu read that right: ne mnth.
Hwever, students participating in Nvember’s Natinal Nvel Writing Mnth (NaNWriM) d nt cmplain abut being verwrked. Instead, they have been knwn t ask, “Can we wrk n ur nvels tday?” That’s because, abve all, NaNWriM is meant t be fun. An exercise in “seat-f-yur-pants” nvel writing, it has almst n rules.
The Office f Letters and Light is the nnprfit behind the event. It believes this carefree apprach encurages writers t take imaginative risks and truly enjy their wrk. Funded in 1999, the adult versin f the event requires nly that yu cmmit yurself t making an attempt at nvel writing and submitting a nvel f 50,000 wrds, n matter hw gd r bad they are, by the end f Nvember.
Since 2005, NaNWriM has entered many classrms, including thse f Natinal Writing Prject teachers, thrugh its Yung Writers Prgram. In additin, teachers receive a classrm kit featuring a prgress chart, stickers t mark wrd cunts, and buttns fr writers wh crss the finish line.
Abut 1,800 classrms and 45,000 kids and teens participated last year. The rules fr under-18 writers are the same as thse fr adults. But there is ne imprtant exceptin: yung writers can pick their wn “reasnable yet challenging” wrd length. If a student elects t write, say, 18,000 wrds and achieves this gal in a mnth, he r she is a winner. Awards include a “handsme winner’s certificate” and a prmtinal cde t receive a free bund prf cpy f the finished nvel.
The Yung Writers Prgram als facilitates Script Frenzy, a similar scriptwriting (剧本写作) event that happens each April and challenges participants t write a 100-page script in 30 days.
While yung writers wrk primarily as individuals, teachers are als encuraged t write alng with them.
28. Hw d students usually feel after participating in NaN WriM?
A. Curageus.B. Distracted.C. Pleased.D. Overwhelmed.
29. What is “seat-f-yur-pants” nvel writing mentined in Paragraph 2?

B. They can decide n their nvels’ wrd cunts themselves.
C. They can lengthen the duratin f their writing prcess.

“Assume yu are wrng.” The advice came frm Brian Nsek, a psychlgy prfessr, wh was ffering a strategy fr pursuing better science.
T understand the cntext fr Nsek’s advice, we need t take a step back t the nature f science itself. Yu see despite what many f us learned in elementary schl, there is n single scientific methd. Just as scientific theries becme cmplex and change, s d scientific methds.
But methdlgical refrm hasn’t cme withut sme wrries and frictin. Unpleasant things have been said by and abut methdlgical refrmers. Few peple like having the value f their life’s wrk called int questin. On the ther side, few peple are gd at vicing criticisms in kind and cnstructive ways. S, part f the challenge is figuring ut hw t bake critical self-reflectin int the culture f science itself, s it unflds as a welcme and integrated part f the prcess, and nt an embarrassing sideshw (附带事件).
What Nsek recmmended was a strategy fr changing the way we ffer and respnd t critique. Assuming yu are right might be a mtivating frce, sustaining the enrmus effrt that cnducting scientific wrk requires. But it als makes it easy t interpret criticisms as persnal attacks. Beginning, instead, frm the assumptin yu are wrng, a criticism is easier t interpret as a cnstructive suggestin fr hw t be less wrng—a gal that yur critic prbably shares.
One wrry abut this apprach is that it culd be demralizing fr scientists. Striving t be less wrng might be a less effective mtivatin than the prmise f being right. Anther cncern is that a strategy that wrks well within science culd backfire (适得其反) when it cmes t cmmunicating science with the public.

Despite these wrries, I like Nsek’s suggestin because it builds in cgnitive (认知的) mdesty alng with a sense that we can d better. It als builds in a sense f cmmunity—we’re all in the same bat when it cmes t falling shrt f getting things right.
Unfrtunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypthesis (假说): that assuming ne is wrng can change cmmunity nrms fr the better, and ultimately supprt better science and even, perhaps, better decisins in life. I dn’t knw if that’s true. In fact, I shuld prbably assume that it’s wrng. But with the benefit f the scientific cmmunity and ur best methdlgical tls, I hpe we can get it less wrng, tgether.

A. Peple hld wrng assumptins abut the culture f science.
B. The scientific cmmunity shuld practice critical self-reflectin.
C. Scientists are unwilling t express kind criticisms.
D Refrmers tend t devalue researchers’ wrk.
33. What may the strategy f “assuming yu are wrng” cntribute t?
A. The enrmus effrts f scientists at wrk.

C. authritative and directD. disapprving but sft
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了心理学教授Brian Nsek提出“假定自己是错的”这一建议用于追求更好的科学，文章论述了背景、面临的挑战及担忧，作者虽对这一假说存疑，但喜欢该建议，希望借助科学社区和方法工具，共同减少错误。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“S, part f the challenge is figuring ut hw t bake critical self-reflectin int the culture f science itself, s it unflds as a welcme and integrated part f the prcess, and nt an embarrassing sideshw (附带事件). (因此，挑战的一部分是弄清楚如何将批判性的自我反思融入科学文化本身，以便它作为过程中一个受欢迎的和不可或缺的一部分展开，而不是一个令人尴尬的花絮。)”可知，科学社区应该实践批判性自我反思，故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“What Nsek recmmended was a strategy fr changing the way we ffer and respnd t critique. Assuming yu are right might be a mtivating frce, sustaining the enrmus effrt that cnducting scientific wrk requires. But it als makes it easy t interpret criticisms as persnal attacks. Beginning, instead, frm the assumptin yu are wrng, a criticism is easier t interpret as a cnstructive suggestin fr hw t be less wrng—a gal that yur critic prbably shares. (Nsek建议的是一种改变我们提供和回应批评的方式的策略。假设你是对的，这可能是一种动力，可以维持进行科学工作所需的巨大努力。但这也很容易将批评解释为人身攻击。相反，从你错了的假设开始，批评更容易被解释为关于如何减少错误的建设性建议——这是你的批评者可能分享的目标。)”可知，“assuming yu are wrng”这种策略有助于潜在研究结果的可靠性，故选D项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中“One wrry abut this apprach is that it culd be demralizing fr scientists. Striving t be less wrng might be a less effective mtivatin than the prmise f being right. Anther cncern is that a strategy that wrks well within science culd backfire (适得其反) when it cmes t cmmunicating science with the public. Withut an appreciatin fr hw science wrks, it’s easy t take uncertainty r disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect sme f the very features f science that make it ur best apprach t reaching reliable cnclusins abut the wrld. (对这种方法的一个担忧是，它可能会让科学家……。努力减少错误可能不如承诺正确有效。另一个担忧是，在与公众交流科学时，在科学领域行之有效的策略可能会适得其反。如果不了解科学的运作方式，就很容易将不确定性或分歧视为反对科学的标志，而事实上，它们反映了科学的一些特征，这些特征使我们成为对世界得出可靠结论的最佳方法。)”可知，在科学领域，追求完全正确往往是一个理想化的目标，因为实现这个目标可能是困难的，甚至是不可能的。相比之下，追求变得“不那么错误”可能更为现实和可行。这种方法鼓励科学家不断学习和改进，接受在研究过程中会犯错的可能性，从而更好地理解和解决问题。虽然这种方法可能会减轻一些压力，但也可能会在一定程度上降低科学家的动机和信心，因为他们可能会觉得自己永远无法达到完美的正确性。因此，“假定自己是错的”这种策略可能会让科学家感到士气低落，故demralizing的意思为“士气低落”，故选C项。。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Unfrtunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypthesis (假说): that assuming ne is wrng can change cmmunity nrms fr the better, and ultimately supprt better science and even, perhaps, better decisins in life. I dn’t knw if that’s true. In fact, I shuld prbably assume that it’s wrng. But with the benefit f the scientific cmmunity and ur best methdlgical tls, I hpe we can get it less wrng, tgether. (不幸的是，这仍然给我们留下了一个未经检验的假设：假设一个人错了，可以使社区规范变得更好，并最终支持更好的科学，甚至可能支持更好的生活决策。我不知道这是不是真的。事实上，我可能应该认为这是错误的。但是，在科学界和我们最好的方法论工具的帮助下，我希望我们能一起减少错误。)”可知，作者一方面承认自己不确定这个假说是否正确，另一方面又对其抱有希望，因此作者对未经检验的假说持怀疑但又真诚的态度。故选B项。
