18、y 30CPeople do many unreasonable things without realizing them. For example, we yell at the TV screen even though the footballer cant hear us; we get frightened on high glass walkways even though we know were not in danger. These reactions are all examples of a little-known principle called alief: a
19、 reaction that contradicts a belief.Most of the time, alief is harmless or even pleasurable. As psychologist Paul Bloom writes, “The point of alief refers to the fact that our minds partially ignore the difference between events that we believe to be real and those that seem to be real, or that are
20、imagined to be real. That is connected with the pleasures of the imagination.”Sometimes, however, the automatic reaction of alief works against us. Take racial prejudice for example. A well-known anti-racist may behave in racist ways without realizing them. In the paper that first introduced the ide
21、a of alief, Tamar Azabo Gendler explained how racism spreads in society, often without our conscious knowledge: white people presented with images of black faces tend to be considered as a gang; people offering resumes(简历) with typical black names are less likely to get interviews than those bearing
22、 white names.However, one study found that people asked to press a “NO” button every time they saw a stereotypical(刻板印象的)image and “YES” when they saw an image that broke the stereotype became much faster at rejecting stereotypes. Another study found that people who were asked to picture a non-stere
23、otypical person in their mind later tended to produce weaker automatic stereotypes. That means seeking examples of people who dont fit common stereotypes at the individual level, and media and companies that put people in non-stereotypical roles at the societal level may have a positive influence on
24、 the fight against the dark side of alief.8. What does the author think of the phenomenon of alief?A. Absurd. B. Universal. C. Embarrassing. D. Encouraging.9. What can we learn about alief?A. It is usually a harmful belief. B. It reflects a lack of imagination.C. It protects people from realities. D
25、. It can influence peoples judgment.10. Which of the following might Tamar Szabo Gendler agree with?A. Black people are violent and uneducated. B. White people are often unconscious racists.C. Its harder for black people to get employed. D. White people always give good impressions.11. The main purp
26、ose of the last paragraph is to show _.A. how to fight against alief B. the consequences of stereotypesC. some successful studies about alief D. how to avoid stereotypes caused by aliefDMike Flint was Buffetts airplane pilot. Flint had also flown four US presidents, so we can safely say he was good
27、at his job. Flint talked about his career priorities(优先事项 )with Buffett. Buffett asked him to go through a 3-step exercise.STEP 1: Write down his top 25 career goals. So, Flint took some time and wrote them down.STEP 2: Review his list and circle his top 5 goals. Again, Flint took some time, made hi
28、s way through the list, and at last decided on his 5 most important goals.STEP 3: At this point, Flint had two lists. The 5 items he had circled were on List A and the 20 items he had not circled were on List B.Flint said that he would start working on his top 5 goals right away. And then Buffett as
29、ked him about the second list, “And what about the ones you didnt circle?”Flint replied, “Well, the top 5 are my primary focus, but the other 20 come in a close second. I still plan to give them my efforts.”Buffett said, “No. Youve got it wrong. Everything you didnt circle just became your Avoid-At-
30、All-Cost list. These things get no efforts from you until youve succeeded with your top 5.”This is why Buffetts strategy is great. Items 6 through 25 are the things you care about. So you cant help paying attention to them. And then you get 20 distractions(分心的事物 ) to stop you from focusing on your t
31、op 5 goals. Spending time on secondary priorities is the reason you have 20 half-finished goals instead of 5 completed ones. So force yourself to focus. The most dangerous distractions are the ones you love, but that dont love you back.12. What did Flint think of his items on List B?A. They were imp
32、ortant too. B. They were not worth his effort.C. They were much more difficult. D. They were impossible goals to reach.13. What did Buffett suggest to Mike Flint?A. Giving up List B halfway.B. Choosing only one priority from the 25 items.C. Paying no attention to List B before finishing List A.D. Re
33、viewing all the items and deciding on another top 5.14. What can we learn from Buffetts strategy?A. Getting 20 half-finished goals is equally effective.B. Its impossible for us to finish two tasks at a time.C. We should break away from distractions decidedly.D. Secondary priorities will prevent us f
34、rom succeeding.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. List A or List B? B. How to choose your prioritiesC. The secret of Buffetts great success D. Avoid distractions to focus on your priorities第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多途选项。 （注：选 E 涂 AB ； 选 F 涂 AC； 选 G 涂
