Our own. decision-making abilities can become exhausted over the course of the day causing indecision or poor choices, but choosing on behalf of someone else is an enjoyable task that doesn't suffer the same difficulties.“The problem is decision fatigue, a psychological phenomenon that causes harm to the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making,“ says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.Physicians on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics （抗生素）to patients when it's unwise to do so. "Presumably it's because it's simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,Polman says.But decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts. "By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue J he says. "It is as if there is something fun about making someone else's choice.”"Getting input from others not only offers a fresh perspective and thought process, it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good. When people experience decision fatigue, when they are tired of making choices, they have a tendency to choose to go with status quo J says Polman. "But it can be problematic since a change in the course of action can be important and lead to a positive outcome.To achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. "People who are susceptible to decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something J he says. "That's not to say risk is always good, but it is related to taking action, whereas decision fatigue assuredly leads to inaction and the possible chagrin （懊恼）of a decision maker who might otherwise prefer a new course but is unfortunately hindered/9“Just because you can make good choices fbr others doesn't mean you'll do the same for yourself,“ Polman cautions. "Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries fbr others than they do fbr themselves,“ he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles.24. What does the author say about people making decisions?A. They tend to make decisions the way they think advantageous to them,They may become exhausted making too many decisions for themselves.B. They show considerable differences in their decision-making abilities.C. They are more cautious in making decisions for others than for themselves.25. When do people feel less decision fatigue?A. When they take decision shortcuts.B. When they have advisers to turn to.C. When they have major decisions to make.D. When they help others to make decisions.26. What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in?A. They avoid trying anything new.B. They turn to physicians for advice.C. They tend to make risky decisions.D. They adopt a tally new perspective.27. What does the passage say about taking some risk in decision making?A. It will enable people to be more creative.B. It will more often than not end in regret.C. It is vital for one to reach the goal desired.D. It is likely to bring about serious consequences.CThe noise of chattering mouths subsided （平息）as a teacher entered the classroom. "Good morning, class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.Rifat Monaf, a fascinating name and an attractive person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.Mrs. Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her fbr it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students "my children”. Mrs. MonaFs morals and values rubbed off on me deeply and I have always taken account of her advice. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me. I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs. Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that 1 can never see a greater person like her in my life.28. What does the second paragraph imply?A. The wrier got around a lot when at senior high.B. Mrs. Monaf was a person with extraordinary knowledge.C. The writer performed well at school.D. Mrs. Monaf enjoyed telling her students funny jokes class.29. What does the underlined word “rubbed off on“ in paragraph 3 men?A. Scratched off. B. Took on.C. Crossed off.D. Impacted on.30. What can we learn from the passage?A. Mrs. Monaf was an optimistic person.B. Breast cancer made Mrs. Monaf depressed.C. Another great person may appear in my life.D. Praying for Mrs. Monaf made the writer tremble.31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My Eventful School LifeB. The Teacher-student FriendshipC. An Influence in My LifeD. Struggles Against Breast CancerDModem zoos aim to promote animal conservation, educate people, and support further wildlife research. Staff are devoted to providing species specific housing and appropriate diets to ensure that the animals9 lives are as natural as possible within captivity （圈养）.In fact, most zoo animals have been bom and bred in captivity. They have never experienced “the wild”, which many people assume is a wonderful and safe place, despite destruction of natural habits for palm oil threats from climate change or the increase in poaching.There are two ways capturing animals helps conserve them. Zoo conservation work can be in-situ （在原 处）where money: expertise and sometimes staff are provided to protect animals and their habitats in the wild. Large, charming animals such as pandas, tigers or elephants draw the crowds. These flagship species help to raise the image and funds for in-situ conservation efforts for the not so well known species“Ex-situ” conservation, meanwhile, takes place outside of the animals5 natural habitats, usually back at the zoo and often involving international captive breeding programs. These studbooks （良种登记册）can outline suitable genetic matches for breeding, to keep a sustainable captive population of a certain species and ensure genetic variation.In the UK at least, zoos must have a written education strategy and an active education programme. If you have been to an accredited （官方认可的）zoo recently you will have noticed they use games and technology to go way beyond these basic requirements.Research within zoos often looks at animal behaviour or welfare helping to ensure the animals are well housed and fed. Other research investigates the impact humans have on the zoo animals from the visitor effect to the relationships which can be formed between the animals and their keepers. Research also focuses on biological functioning of animals. Much of this is work that cannot be conducted in the wild if the animals live in remote or inhospitable areas.Overall, zoos provide opportunities to observe and engage with exotic （夕卜国的）animals, many of which may be threatened with extinction in the wild. Seeing them up close can cause a passion for biology, conservation and the environment.32. What do people think of “the wild"?A. It poses a danger to humans.C. It is an ideal habitat for animals.33. What highlights “ex-situ“ conservation?A. Saving the conservation cost.B. It is perfect for large animalsD. It guarantees the safety of animals.C. Attracting more visitors to zoos.C. Keeping a species' population stable.D. Changing most genes of a certain species.34. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A. How zoo keepers get along with animals.B. How zoos can contribute to research work.C. What researchers are expected to do in zoos.D. Why it is difficult to carry out research in the wild.35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To show zoos ways to raise animals.B. To stress modern ZOOs research value.C. To defend zoos role in protecting animals.D. To advise zoos to release animals into the wild.第二节 七选五阅读理解（总分值125分 共5题 每题2.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Apps （short for applications） are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and with good reason.
