We have all heard of experts who fail basic tests of scenery discrimination in their own fields: wine snobs (自命不凡的人) who can“t tell red from white wine (though in blackened cups), or art critics who see deep mea

10、ning in random lines drawn by a computer. We delight in such stories since anyone claiming to be an authority is fair game. But what if we shine the spotlight on choices we make about everyday things? Experts might be forgiven for being wrong about the limits of their skills as experts, but could we

11、 be forgiven for being wrong about the limits of our skills as experts on ourselves? B. We have been trying to answer this question using techniques from magic performances. Rather than playing tricks with alternatives presented to participants, we secretly altered the outcomes of their choices, and

12、 recorded how they react. For example, in an early study we showed our volunteers pairs of pictures of faces and asked them to choose the most attractive. In some trials, immediately after they made their choice, we asked people to explain the reasons behind their choices. C. Unknown to them, we som

13、etimes used a double-card magic trick to secretly exchange one face for the other so they ended up with the face they did not choose. Common sense dictates that all of us would notice such a big change in the outcome of a choice. But the result showed that in 75 percent of the trials our participant

14、s were blind to the mismatch, even offering “reasons“ for their “choice“. D. We called this effect “choice blindness“, echoing change blindness, the phenomenon identified by psychologists where a remarkably large number of people fail to spot a major change in their environment. Recall the famous ex

15、periments where X asks Y for directions; while Y is struggling to help, X is switched for Z and Y fails to notice. Researchers are still pondering the full implications, but it does show how little information we use in daily life, and undermines the idea that we know what is going on around us. E.

16、When we set out, we aimed to weigh in on the enduring, complicated debate about self-knowledge and intentionality. For all the intimate familiarity we feel we have with decision-making, it is very difficult to know about it from the “inside“: one of the great barriers for scientific research is the

17、nature of subjectivity. F. As anyone who has ever been in a verbal disagreement can prove, people tend to give elaborate justifications for their decisions, which we have every reason to believe are nothing more than rationalisations (文过饰非) after the event. To prove such people wrong, though, or eve

18、n provide enough evidence to change their mind, is an entirely different matter: who are you to say what my reasons are? G. But with choice blindness we drive a large wedge between intentions and actions in the mind. As our participants give us verbal explanations about choices they never made, we c

19、an show them beyond doubt and prove it that what they say cannot be true. So our experiments offer a unique window into confabulation (虚构) (the story-telling we do to justify things after the fact) that is otherwise very difficult to come by. We can compare everyday explanations with those under lab

20、 conditions, looking for such things as the amount of detail in descriptions, how coherent the narrative is, the emotional tone, or even the timing or flow of the speech. Then we can create a theoretical framework to analyse any kind of exchange. H. This framework could provide a clinical use for ch

21、oice blindness: for example, two of our ongoing studies examine how malingering (装病) might develop into true symptoms, and how confabulation might play a role in obsessive-compulsive disorder (强迫症). I. Importantly, the effects of choice blindness go beyond snap judgments. Depending on what our volun

22、teers say in response to the mismatched outcomes of choices (whether they give short or long explanations, give numerical rating or labelling, and so on) we found this interaction could change their future preferences to the extent that they come to prefer the previously rejected alternative. This g

23、ives us a rare glimpse into the complicated dynamics of self-feedback (“I chose this, I publicly said so, therefore I must like it“), which we suspect lies behind the formation of many everyday preferences. J. We also want to explore the boundaries of choice blindness. Of course, it will be limited

24、by choices we know to be of great importance in everyday life. Which bride or bridegroom would fail to notice if someone switched their partner at the altar through amazing sleight of hand (巧妙的手段)? Yet there is ample territory between the absurd idea of spouse-swapping, and the results of our early

25、face experiments. K. For example, in one recent study we invited supermarket customers to choose between two paired varieties of jam and tea. In order to switch each participant“s choice without them noticing, we created two sets of “magical“ jars, with lids at both ends and a divider inside. The ja

26、rs looked normal, but were designed to hold one variety of jam or tea at each end, and could easily be flipped over. L. Immediately after the participants chose, we asked them to taste their choice again and tell us verbally why they made that choice. Before they did, we turned over the sample conta

27、iners, so the tasters were given the opposite of what they had intended in their selection. Strikingly, people detected no more than a third of all these trick trials. Even when we switched such remarkably different flavors as spicy cinnamon and apple for bitter grapefruit jam, the participants spot

28、ted less than half of all switches. M. We have also documented this kind of effect when we simulate online shopping for consumer products such as laptops or cellphones, and even apartments. Our latest tests are exploring moral and political decisions, a domain where reflection and deliberation are s

29、upposed to play a central role, but which we believe is perfectly suited to investigating using choice blindness. N. Throughout our experiments, as well as registering whether our volunteers noticed that they had been presented with the alternative they did not choose, we also quizzed them about the

30、ir beliefs about their decision processes. How did they think they would feel if they had been exposed to a study like ours? Did they think they would have noticed the switches? Consistently, between 80 and 90 percent of people said that they believed they would have noticed something was wrong. O.

31、Imagine their surprise, even disbelief, when we told them about the nature of the experiments. In everyday decision-making we do see ourselves as knowing a lot about ourselves, but like the wine buff or art critic, we often overstate what we know. The good news is that this form of decision snobbery

Indeed, after reading this article you might already be cured.（分数：71.00）(1).People have a tendency to try to give an acceptable explanation for the decision they make.（分数：7.10）(2).In their latest tests researchers are investigating people“s decisions in the fie

37、n by their appearance. You can give examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but NO MORE THAN 200 words. （分数：25.00）_正确答案：()解析：Why Is It Unwise to Judge a Person by Their Appearance?There is a Chinese saying goes like this: men cannot be judged by their looks. I cannot a

38、gree with this point of view any more. On the one hand, though a charming appearance will leave a good impression on others, one“s look can seldom reflects his or her qualities, capacities and ethics. We cannot say those who are good-looking are more capable and more cultivated than those who are av

39、erage- looking or ugly-looking. There are so many people who do not have good appearances have made great achievements for the progress of mankind, such as Stephen William Hawking who are even crippled. On the other hand, our appearances are decided by our genes, which are inborn, while our qualitie

40、s can be cultivated as we grow. We can enrich our minds by learning, but which cannot be reflected on the appearances. To summarize, judging people by appearance is unwise. Therefore I suggest that we should focus on one“s inner world rather than their appearance.2.Directions: For this part you are

41、allowed 30 minutes to write an essay about the importance of having a dream by referring to the saying “If you don“t build your dream someone will hire you to help build theirs. “ You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to realize your dream. You should write

42、 at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. （分数：106.50）_正确答案：()解析：The Importance of Having a DreamNapoleon Hill once said, “Cherish your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.“ However, in modem society, most people have got lost and have no d

43、reams. Therefore, it is high time that we attached great importance to having a dream and endeavoring to realize it. Having a dream gives people a direction in their life. In his speech “I have a dream“, Martin Luther King, Jr. declared his dream of an equal, liberal and democratic America and devot

44、ed all his life to the civil rights movement. It was the great dream that gave him power to face bravely all those dangers and threats and straggle for his black fellows. Also, dreams inspire courage and passion. Birds spread their wings to soar in the sky; streams run days and nights toward arms of

45、 the sea; artists practise assiduously to reach the peak of the art. As dreams are so important, actions should be taken to realize them. We should make clear what our dream is and make a clear plan. More importantly, great courage, passion and determination are necessary. By doing so, we“re likely

46、to make our dreams come true!3.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below.
