In reality, art crimes are no less interesting and excitin
14、g. According to The New York Times, over the past 15 years, Glafira Rosales fooled two local commercial art galleries into buying 63 false works of art for more than $30 million.She passed off fake paintings as works by 20th century modernist masters such as American artists Mark Rothko and Jackson
15、Pollock.But in fact, these so called “newly discovered works” were all produced by a single man, a Chinese immigrant named Qian Peishen. The art world was shocked by Rosales deception.But to the public, it was amusing and most satisfying to see wealthy people get tricked. So what decides the value o
16、f a piece of art Is it beauty Is it the artists talent and craftsmanship Or is it just because the artist is famous We should take beauty out. If the buyers were buying paintings only for their beauty, theyll be content displaying good fakes on their walls. They wouldnt be so upset when a forgery is
17、 exposed. The art market claims that great artists are inimitable, and that this inimitability justifies the absurd price of their works. We cant deny that most famous artists are good at what they do, but forgers like Qian show that their works are imitable.Otherwise, the difference between the ori
18、ginal and the copycats would be obvious and Rosales would not be able to fool anyone. According to an article in the Economist, expensive paintings are what economists call positional goods. They are valuable because other people cant have them. With other goods, a higher price reduces demand.But ar
19、t turns down the laws of economics. “When the goods that is really being purchased is evidence that the buyer has paid a lot, price increases cause demand to boom, ” explained the article. Thats why scarcity and authenticity are so important in the art market. Artists sometimes forget this.Demien Hi

27、med up in one word: radiation. Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but
28、 we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things. At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being
29、immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if t
30、hey are killed immediately. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years. This is another reason for some of the myste
31、ry about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.

34、er after many years B die immediately C have a child who may be born weak D all of the above 答案: 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 D 文章大意:本文向我们介绍了核能对我们健康的危害。核能对人类的健康、安全乃至生命所造成的危害可用一个单词加以概括:辐射。 【小题 1】 B 细节理解题。由第二段第一句话可知, C项错误;由 第二段最后一句话 “But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to huma
35、n beings and other living things. ”可知,核辐射对人类健康有害,它和一般的微波不一样,所以 A、 D项错误;由第三段倒数第二句话可知, B项正确。 【小题 2】 D 推理判断题。由第三段第一句话 “At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs.”可知, D项正确。 【小题 3】 D 细节理解题。由第四段倒数后两句话可知, A、 C项正确;由第三段第一句话可知, A项正确
36、。所以选 D项。 Some students get so nervous before a test; they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test-takers. Sian Beilock: “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them fr
37、om getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.” Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible sol
38、ution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. Sian Beilock: “What we think happens is when students put it down on paper, they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. They might realize its not
39、as bad as they might think it was before and, in essence(本质上 ), it prevents these thoughts from popping up when theyre actually taking a test.” The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the stud
40、ents to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team
41、effort. Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told th
42、em before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Prefessor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B, compared to a B- for those who did not. Sian Beilock: “What we showed is that for students who are
43、highly test-anxious,whod done our writing intervention(排解 ), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most likely to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who dont normally get nervous in these testing situations.” But what if st
44、udents do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance. 【小题 1】 Which of the following is TRUE A The result in the math test agrees with that
45、in the biology test. B In the first math test, students who sat quietly performed better. C In the second math test, students who wrote about their feelings did worse. D Some college students are highly anxious test-takers while others are not in the tests. 【小题 2】 What may happen if students have th
46、e problem of test anxiety A Test anxiety is sure to cause students to fail the test. B Test anxiety can improve students performance to some degree. C Students attention and memory resources run out when worried. D Students may not be admitted into their favorite college if worried. 【小题 3】 The resul
47、t of the research suggests that _. A proper amount of burden may turn out to be a good thing B facing the fears bravely may help one to achieve more C avoiding facing the problem may contribute to relaxation D taking no action before difficulty may result in success 【小题 4】 What is the main idea of t
48、he passage A It is important for students to overcome test anxiety. B Anxious students overcome test anxiety by writing down fears. C It is a common practice for students being worried before a test. D Being worried before tests does harm to students performance. 答案: 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 B 文章大意:本文主要介绍考前写出紧张感有助于缓解压力,从而获得良好的表现。 【小题 1】 A 细节理解题。通过阅读第五至第九段内容,特别是第七段和 第九段可知,研究人员对 20位有考试焦虑的大学生的数学测试和学生生物课的表现的两项研究结果一致:学生写下有关考前焦虑的状况有助于提高自己的表现,故选 A项。 【小题 2】 C 细节理解题。由第二段第三句话 “And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources.”可知, C项正确。 【小题 3】 B 推
