In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am
weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.

In the idealized version of how science is done, facts about the world are waiting to be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific method to carry out their work. But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route. We aim to be objective, but we cannot escape the context of our unique life experience. Prior knowledge and interest influence what we experience, what we think our experiences mean, and the subsequent actions we take. Opportunities for misinterpretation, error, and self-deception abound.
Consequently, discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience. Similar to newly staked mining claims, they are full of potential. But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery. This is the credibility process, through which the individual researcher’s me, here, now becomes the community’s anyone, anywhere, anytime. Objective knowledge is the goal, not the starting point.
Once a discovery claim becomes public, the discoverer receives intellectual credit. But, unlike with mining claims, the community takes control of what happens next. Within the complex social structure of the scientific community, researchers make discoveries; editors and reviewers act as gatekeepers by controlling the publication process; other scientists use the new finding to suit their own purposes; and finally, the public (including other scientists) receives the new discovery and possibly accompanying technology. As a discovery claim works it through the community, the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about the science and the technology involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovery.
Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process. First, scientific work tends to focus on some aspect of prevailing Knowledge that is viewed as incomplete or incorrect. Little reward accompanies duplication and confirmation of what is already known and believed. The goal is new-search, not re-search. Not surprisingly, newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries that appear to be important and convincing will always be open to challenge and potential modification or refutation by future researchers. Second, novelty itself frequently provokes disbelief. Nobel Laureate and physiologist Albert Azent-Gyorgyi once described discovery as “seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.” But thinking what nobody else has thought and telling others what they have missed may not change their views. Sometimes years are required for truly novel discovery claims to be accepted and appreciated.
In the end, credibility “happens” to a discovery claim – a process that corresponds to what philosopher Annette Baier has described as the commons of the mind. “We reason together, challenge, revise, and complete each other’s reasoning and each other’s conceptions of reason.”
26. According to the first paragraph, the process of discovery is characterized by its________.
A. uncertainty and complexity B. misconception and deceptiveness
C. logicality and objectivity D. systematicness and regularity
27. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that credibility process requires________.
A. strict inspection B.shared efforts
C. individual wisdom D. persistent innovation
28.Paragraph 3 shows that a discovery claim becomes credible after it________.
A. has attracted the attention of the general public
B. has been examined by the scientific community
C. has received recognition from editors and reviewers
D. has been frequently quoted by peer scientists
29. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi would most likely agree that________.
A. scientific claims will survive challenges B. discoveries today inspire future research
C. efforts to make discoveries are justified D. scientific work calls for a critical mind
30.Which of the following would be the best title of the test?
A. Novelty as an Engine of Scientific Development.
B. Collective Scrutiny in Scientific Discovery.
C. Evolution of Credibility in Doing Science.
D. Challenge to Credibility at the Gate to Science.

My husband was enjoying the day off from work and watched me scurry about the house. I picked up his dirty clothes, put away his work shoes, carried out his popcorn bowl from the previous night’s football viewing, washed the breakfast dishes, wiped the coffee he’d spilled and ironed his shirts. Seeing a thoughtful look on his face, I wondered if he was beginning to realize just how much unnecessary work he created for me. Maybe he would offer to help. “A penny for your thoughts,” I said. “I was thinking,” He replied, “that one of things I like best about you is how you always find ways to keep yourself busy.”

21.A
【解析】考查细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.”可知我的弱势显现出人们的善良,又由“I have discovered that it makes them happy”可知帮助别人能使他们感到幸福。故选A。

【解析】考查事实细节题。对应这句:This is the credibility process,根据句中的This回到前一句:But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery. 句中:it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance对应B项的shared efforts,共同的努力,本题干扰项为:strict inspection.;本身这个选项是正确的,只是这段的主题讲的就是如何将一个的东西变为集体的东西,所以优先考虑。故选B。
28.B
【解析】考查事实细节题。首先直接对应三段最后一句:As a discovery claim works it through the community, the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about the science and the technology involved transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovery. B项被科学的机构检查之后符合As a discovery claim works it through the community的说法;但是这个表述本身的缺陷在于结果不明确,被检查了有两种结果:接受和不被接受;如果是不被接受那么就不可能变得credible,如果选择C项has received recognition from editors and reviewers又只是谈到了其中一个环节,不如B全面,和紧扣主题:知识的认可是集体的认可。故选B。
29.D
【解析】考查事实细节题。对应文章中Albert Szent-Gyorgyi所说的话:seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. 可以知道他认为思考很重要,因此答案为D,同学对于critical 批判性的理解可能会有偏差,我们经常讲的培养思维能力其实就是培养critical mind 的能力。有思考就一定会有批判的,因此这个同义替换是可以接受的。故选D。
30.C
【解析】考查主旨大意题。根据主题词可以credibility可以排除A和B,C和D的区别是在范围上的,文中不只是说了质疑,还有一系列的事情。故选C。

第八节:写作(本大题共2 小题,每小题10 分,共20 分)
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice, which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to start a business of your own, but others take the attitude that finding a job is the best choice influencing their future.
As to myself, I prefer the latter view. An opportunity to start a business exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. In my view, With the competition in the job market becoming increasingly fierce for college graduates, some ambitious students have tried their hands at launching their own businesses. Over the years, there have been many successful cases of student entrepreneurship and such attempts should be encouraged and promoted by both the universities and the society at large. What’s more, college students who start businesses are pioneers, among whom will be born China’s future business leaders. Faced with unknown challenges, they are audacious enough to embark on a perilous journey while most of their peers enjoy stable salaries by working as white-collars at high-end office buildings.
All in all, the essential difference between the students who find a job or those students who create their own businesses is that the former are docile followers whereas the latter are aggressive trailblazers. For this reason, business-launching college graduates are more admirable, and thus they command our deep respect.
Dear Johnson,
Glad to hear you have decided to quit online games.I know it isn't easy to break a habit, but many people have managed it and so can you. Here is some advice for you.
First of all,you should make good preparations.Make a plan to quit and stick to it. Each time you feel like playing online games,do something else instead,like listening to the music or doing sports with your friends.Reward yourself with any progress you make. Then figure out what you're interested in and focus on one or two of them in yours pare time. It is also a good choice to tum to others for help if necessary.
I'm sure you can break the bad habit.
