2.Do You Know the Gaps (漏洞) in Your Knowledge?You probably don't know as much as you think you do.When put to the test,most people find they can't explain the workings of everyday things they think they understand.Don't believe me?Find an object you use daily (an ear phone,a toilet,a stereo speaker) and try to describe how it works. (71)EWe call this phenomenon the illusion of explanatory depth(解释性深度错觉).It means you think you fully understand something that you actually don't.
We see this every day in buzzwords (流行语).Though we often use them,their meanings are usually unclear. (72)F
Several years ago,I attended a meeting where the president spoke about global business practice in the coming year.During the talk,people around the room nodded in agreement.Afterwards,though,many of them discussed how to manage global business practice,none of the people who had nodded in agreement could exactly describe what it actually meant.
No matter what job you do,discovering your gaps in knowledge is necessary.An unknown gap means you might not fully understand a problem.(73)B
To discover the things you can't explain,take a lesson from teachers.When you guide someone else,you have to fill the gaps in your own knowledge.But you don't need to teach someone else.Explain concepts to yourself as you learn them.Get in the habit of self-teaching.Involve others in learning together. (74)D Ask them to explain difficult concepts,even if you think everyone understands them.Not only will this help you to work through new ideas,but it will occasionally uncover places where your friends don't understand the explanations.
(75)GThey can help you have a better understanding of problems.
A.An active learner usually puts it into reality.
B.That can prevent you from solving the problem properly.
C.Your explanations can't show your own knowledge gaps.
D.Help recognize the knowledge gaps of the people around you.
E.You're likely to discover unexpected gaps in your knowledge.
F.They cover gaps in our knowledge,serving concepts we don't fully understand.
G.When you do uncover these gaps,treat them as learning opportunities,not signs of weakness.
分析 很多人都会发现平时能够理解的知识在进行测试或者接受实验的时候都不能作出正确的解释.这一现象叫做解释性深度错觉,这意味人们其实没有能够对一些知识进行深度的理解.在本文中作者对这一情况给出了一些参考建议.
解答 71.E.推理判断题.根据后文We call this phenomenon the illusion of explanatory depth(解释性深度错觉).It means you think you fully understand something that you actually don't可知你很可能会发现你的知识与你的认知的意想不到的差距;故选E.
72.F.推理判断题.根据前文We see this every day in buzzwords (流行语).Though we often use them,their meanings are usually unclear可知它们涵盖了我们知识的空白,提供了我们不完全理解的概念;故选F.
73.B.推理判断题.根据前文An unknown gap means you might not fully understand a problem可知这能阻止你正确地解决问题;故选B.
74.D.推理判断题.根据后文Ask them to explain difficult concepts,even if you think everyone understands them可知你需要帮助周围人认识他们的知识差距;故选D.
75.G.推理判断题.根据后文They can help you have a better understanding of problems可知当你发现这些差距时,把它们当成学习的机会,而不是软弱的迹象;故选G.
点评 本文是一篇选句填空阅读,题目主要考查文章内容理解及上下文联系,做题时应结合文章上下文内容并根据所给选项的含义进行分析,从而得出正确答案.切记胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

In the first study to assess the global (41)C of second-hand smoke,WHO experts find that children are more (42)J exposed to second-hand smoke than any other age-group,and around 165,000of them a year die because of it.
Children's exposure to second-hand smoke is most likely to happen at home,and the double blow of infectious diseases and tobacco seems to be a deadly (43)I for children in these regions.Commenting on the findings,Heather Wipfli and Jonathan Samet from the University of Southern California,said policymakers try to (44)K families to stop smoking in the home.
While deaths due to passive smoking in children were skewed(曲解) toward poor and middle-income countries,deaths in adults were (45)B across countries at all income levels.
In Europe's high-income countries,only 71child deaths occurred,while 35,388deaths were in adults.Yet in the countries like Africa,an estimated 43,375deaths due to passive smoking were in children (46)F with 9,514in adults.
Only 7.4percent of the world population currently lives in places with (47)A smoke-free laws,and those laws are not always(48)H enforced(施行).In places where smoke-free rules are (49)E,research shows that exposure to second-hand smoke in high-risk places like bars and restaurants can be cut by 90percent,and in general by 60percent,the researchers said.
Studies also show such laws help to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked by smokers and lead to higher (50)G rates in those trying to quit.
