Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:

Ever won the lottery? No? But did that stop you buying another lottery ticket? If the answer is another “no"，you might call yourself an optimist.

According to researchers at University College London，human beings are sanguine creatures. It is all in the brain，they say. A study suggests that human brain is very efficient at processing good news: about 80% of people have a tendency to see the glass as half-full，not half-empty，even if they don't consider themselves to be optimists.

The good news is that this brings a health benefit , Having a positive outlook on life reduces anxiety. A study of nearly 100，000 women showed a lower risk of death from heart disease among optimists.

But there are problems in always having an optimistic attitude. The authors of the study point out that the 2008 financial crisis may have been caused by analysts overestimating their assets' performance even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.

There are personal health risks too. Dr Tali Sharot，lead researcher，said: '''Smoking Kills' messages don't work since people think their chances of cancer are low. There's a very fundamental tendency in the brain."

But，as they say，every cloud has a silver lining. Even if seeing the world through rose-colored glasses poses a risk to our health，it's not something that is likely to cause us to lose sleep. Let's just keep our chins up and keep smiling!

A. adjust our goals in life

B. learn to release bad mood

C. avoid being overoptimistic

D. maintain a positive attitude

15 .what is the main of the passage ?

A. People tend to be optimistic even in crisis.

B. Optimists enjoy life better than pessimists.

C. Being optimistic has both benefits and risks.

D. Optimism is what keeps us going forward.

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has launched an investigation into allegations

that its officials in more than 50 countries have been selling London Olympics tickets on the black market for profit.

Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:

Pressed by competition and its own success，the popular search engine Google has created an automated way to search for new employees who are fully appropriate as well as high-achieving.

In a project，the 100，000 people who fill in online job applications for Google each month will be asked to complete a complicated questionnaire(问卷) exploring their attitudes，behaviour，personality and backgrounds going back to their school days.

The questions range from whether applicants have ever set a world record，to whether their workspace is messy or tidy or what magazines they read. Answers are studied by Google's

mathematicians to calculate a score meant to predict how well a person will fit into the organization's diversified and competitive culture.

Psychometric tests(心理测试) are already used by more traditional companies to select workers，but they are unheard of in a company like Google，which is built on a belief in individual talent. The online questionnaire is based on the answers to 300 questions sent out last summer to every employee at the head office in California's Silicon Valley. Some questions were factual: What programming languages are you familiar with? What internet mailing lists are you on?

Other questions，however，tried to establish personality and behavioural characteristics: Have you ever tutored another person?

"We wanted to cast a very wide net，" said Laszlo Bock，Google's Vice-President for People Operations."It is not unusual to walk into our office and bump into dogs. Maybe people who own dogs have some personality feature that is useful."

A. It was based on a survey of its employees.

B. It focuses on background questions.

C. It was designed by some mathematicians

D. It has been filled out by 100，000 people

24. What distinguishes Google online questionnaire?

A. Preferring those who own pets.

B. Stressing overall personal qualities.

C. Asking more complex questions.

D. Believing in high-achieving experience.

25.By "casting a wide net"(last paragraph)，Laszlo Bock means

Part Three Cloze

Directions:

There are ten blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank，there are

four choices marked A，B， C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

Working memory, or short-term memory，involves the ability to hold and use

information in the immediate future.31 is only held in working memory for about 20 seconds. The challenge that students32is to move information from their working memories into their long-term memories. If they don't do this in about the first few minutes after receiving the information，that information can be lost. To keep this newly learned material from33away,it needs to enter the network of the brain's wiring .

After repeated practice，working memories are set down as permanent neuronal

(神经的) circuits34to be activated(激活) when the information is needed. When a memory has been recalled35 its neuronal circuits are more highly developed

because of their repeated activation.

36exercising a muscle，these circuits then become more efficient and easier to access and activate. Practice results37 repeated stimulation of the memory circuit. Like hikers along a path 38 eventually leave a depression in the road，repeated practice stimulates cells in the memory circuit such that the circuit is reinforced and becomes 39. This means it can be quickly turned from off to on，and switched.40through a variety of cues coming in from the senses.

32. A. have B. take C. face D. hold

2018年4月高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》试题 课程代码：00012 一、阅读判断 Finding Paradise (天堂) and Success in Retirement Ivy Singh and her husband had their retirement all planned out. They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says. The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm. As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread. Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired. Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society. 1. Ivy and her husband made a careful plan for retirement. A.
