题目内容

　　　 Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about drinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.

　　　 The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.

　　　 Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.

　　　 Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.”

72．Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______.

A．it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast

B．we might be controlled by other people’s ideas

C．we will follow the ideas of others naturally

D．we might be footed by other people’s ideas

73．If you are a critical thinker, you will ________.

A．think deeply about different ideas　　　　　 B．trust the reports in the newspapers

C．take one view against another view　　　　 D．criticize other people for their mistakes

74．In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ________.

A．the smarter you are, the faster you do things

B．the faster you do things, the smarter you become

C．speed can improve intelligence

D．intelligence is not decided by speed

75．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Thinking and Critical Thinking.　　　　　　 B．Understanding Critical Thinking.

C．Thinking Is Natural and Human.　　　　　 D．Thinking Fast Means Intelligence.

　　Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make．One important question that you might ask yourself is：“How do I get a good job?”　　1　　．

　　There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all．Still others believe that the in person, door－to－door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time．　　2　　．He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them．His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream．One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick．Without stopping to think, the lad(少年)offered to take his place．　　3　　

　　　　4　　．If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance．It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well．

　　Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差)．When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying．　　5　　．And within a year this person had become general manger of the company．

A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself．

B．People find jobs in an infinite number of ways．

C．it's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers

D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor．

E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company's faults．

F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved．

G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself．

Never before had I imagined I should have the opportunity to live with so many girls．Would they 　36　such a single “Hi” from me? I was about to greet my new roommates，　37　they did not seem to have the same 　38　attention that I had．They just dealt with their own 　39　， sorting out their clothes，and making arrangements for their university life．Thus tranquility（宁静）
became the 　40　atmosphere in the dormitory．
To my surprise，　41　such a situation，I did not feel a sense of 　42　．With time going on，we got to know each other deeper．I was　43　to find that in deep soul we all had great dreams and belonged to the same　44　．
However，not long before the 　45 　was disturbed by my own upset of mind for study pressure．What I was　46　about seemed to have 　47　to do with them and what they were doing and talking about seemed so far away from me．However，one incident changed my 　48　and made me treasure this kind of 　49　better and more confident in our friendship．
One day，when I was leaving the teachers’ office，it was in complete silence and frightening 　50　．At my dormitory gate，I was startled （使惊奇）to find there still 　51 　a little light glimmering in the darkness，so faint but yet so clear．Just under the 　52　of the light，I went to the room without any difficulty．They were in sound sleep，leaving the 　53　light on in the calm world．Tears rolled down my cheeks．
I know 　54　that we all like tranquility，both in environment and in our mind．It is the care that 　55　all the misunderstandings and unpleasantness．

When Dave was eighteen,he bought a second-hand car for ￡200 so that he could travel to and from work more 　1　 than by bus.It worked quite well for a few years,but then it got so old,and it was costing him 　2　 much in repairs that he decided that he had better 　3　 it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly 　4  to buy a cheap car,but they all knew that it was falling to pieces,so 5  of them had any desire to buy it.

You may   8  more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's   9  was sensible,he put an advertisement in an evening paper,which read:“For sale:small car, 10  very little petrol,only two owners.Bargain at ￡50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared,there was no   11 .But then on Saturday evening a man rang up and said he would like to 12  him about the car.“All right,” Dave said,feeling happy.He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be   13  or not.“Fine,” the man said.“And I'll 14  my wife.We intend to go for a ride in it to   15  it.”
The next morning,at ten quarter,Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, 16  to wait there for the person who had   17  his advertisement.Even Dave had to   18  that the car really looked like a wreck.Then soon after he had got the car as   19  as it could be,a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out.He looked at Dave's car and then said,“Have you reported this   20  to us yet,sir?”

I was fat kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was      laughed at for being heavier than the other kids,      me feeling shy. I tried several diets, but      worked, and I     gaining weight. Another factor        my weight gain was my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course, eating. 　
　When I finished high school at the age of 18, I weighed 215 pounds.       the self-confidence to go to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home      going away to college. I continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes. 　
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend's New Year's Eve party when I was at my all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my       in a mirror and the truth      me: I was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger and       . 　
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss     and realized they didn't work because they required me to abandon foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food and binge,       the diet      my hunger and not feel deprived. 　
　My biggest       was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen to         myself thinking about food. The result: Food was all I thought about.       had to be some way to combine cooking with healthful eating. I found the     after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.　
　The pounds started coming off, and when I started exercising (usually cardio and weight training five times a week), they seemed to melt away. I didn't feel deprived, and I felt free to give my body the care and attention it     .　
I lost 165 pounds over the next two years. I had many ups and downs. I was determined to go on. Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits.      I vowed to start again and always keep my goal in mind.　 Thanks to losing weight and becoming fit I am         my body and myself. I have finally found myself.
