An allergy（过敏）made Clare give up her job training racehorses, but she has now created a new career for herself as a best-selling author. Jane interviews her.

In the large field which would normally contain horses, there are three big dogs running wildly around. As I talk to Clare and her husband, Daniel, he says, “I’m not allowing Clare to have anything larger than those dogs. ” It’s said with a smile, but persuading one of Britain’s most successful racehorse trainers to give up her work can’t have been easy. Clare explains her situation: I’d been ill for some time, and then I discovered that I had actually developed an allergy to horses. Giving up training horses after so long was a horrible decision to take. But it wasn’t as if I needed the money any more. And at least it allowed me to try writing on a full-time basis—I’d been writing in my free time for years! Clare has made a new career as a novelist ever since.

Clare’s son Tim has now taken over her training business. Despite the fact that Tim’s only been doing this for two years, Clare announces proudly that he’s already had several winners. “But racehorse owners have high expectations. Keeping them happy is not an easy task, ” she says. “Itis something you really have to work at and I just hope he can manage. ”

Clare says she is trying to put her life in horse-racing behind her, but in the next breath, she’s talking about a young horse at Tim’s stables（马厩）. She often relieves herself: “ my books are selling well. We do need to sort things out better, though, so we have time to take holidays, and enjoy our hard-earned money! ” However, as hard as she tries, there is obviously a huge gap in Clare’s life that has yet to be filled.

4. What do we learn about Clare in the first paragraph?

A. She likes to follow her husband’s advice.

B. She was relieved to begin a less stressful job.

C. She is still worried about her family’s financial security.

D. She accepted that a change of career would be beneficial.

D. She thinks he should spend more time with racehorse owners.

D. Dealing with the racehorse owners.

The Earth is already 1.1 degrees Celsius hotter than it was 150 years ago. Though a half-degree Celsius difference in temperature increase might seem unimportant, the difference for life on Earth could be huge.

Off the coast of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is known for being large enough to be seen from space. It’s the size of Germany—a biodiversity hot spot that was once thought to be too big to fail. But over the last few decades, marine（海洋的）biologists like Hoegh-Guldberg have watched its rapid decline.

Oceans are warming along with the atmosphere, since they absorb much of the excess heat from climate change. Repeated marine heat waves over the last five years have turned much of the Great Barrier Reef a terribly white color. When temperatures rise, corals（珊瑚）remove the microscopic algae（海藻）inside them, losing their food source in the process. Sometimes the corals can recover, but increasingly, they’re dying off.

“Something around 50% of the shallow water corals were killed literally over a couple of months, in some cases over a couple of weeks,” Hoegh-Guldberg says. “If you extend that out into the future, we’ll get to a point where the damage overwhelms the ability of corals to bounce back. ”

Marine heat waves have already doubled in number since 1980 and are expected to become more intense as temperatures rise. At 1.5 degrees Celsius, it’s likely that 70% to 90% of coral reefs will die off worldwide. At 2 degrees Celsius of warming, 99% are lost. “If we delay even a year or two more, we really are going down a pathway where there will be no return. We need to act and we need to act decisively, without question and solve this problem. ” Hoegh-Guldberg adds.

8. What do we know about the Great Barrier Reef?

A. It is supposed to never disappear.

B. It used to be indescribably massive.

C. It is too large to be seen from space.

D. It is growing over the last few decades.

9. What are the effects of rising temperatures?

A. Changes in the shape of coral.

B. Increasing risk of coral death.

C. Growing coral recovery capacity.

D. Abundant food sources of corals.

10. What does the underlined word “decisively” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Decidedly. B. Gradually.

C. Constantly. D. Regularly.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. The temperature affects the life.

B. Climate change causes warming oceans.

C. Coral reefs face almost complete die-off.

D. Extreme heat waves double greatly in number.
 

D

Loss aversion, the idea that losses are more psychologically influential than gains, is widely considered the most important idea of behavioral decision-making and its sister field of behavioral economics. To illustrate the significance attached to loss aversion, Kahneman, winner of Nobel Prize in economics, wrote in his book, Thinking Fast and Slow, that “the concept of loss aversion is certainly the greatest contribution of psychology to behavioral economics. ”

Why has such profound importance been attributed to loss aversion? Largely because it is thought to reflect a fundamental truth about human beings—that we are more motivated by our fears than by our aspirations. This conclusion has implications for almost every aspect of how we live our lives.

However, as documented in a recent critical review of loss aversion by Rucker of Northwestern University, there is no general cognitive prejudice that leads people to avoid losses more strongly than to pursue gains. Contrary to claims based on loss aversion, price increases do not affect consumer behavior more than price decreases.

If losing $10,000 means giving up the roof over your head whereas gaining $10,000 means going on an extra vacation, it is perfectly reasonable to be more concerned with the loss than the gain.

Why has belief in loss aversion been held so strong for so long? An idealized view of science is that theories are accepted or rejected based solely on evidence from experiments. In fact, science is not simply an impersonal search for truth, but also a social process, in which supporters of a theory must convince other scientists, through logic and argumentation, of how evidence should be interpreted.

In sum, our critical review of loss aversion highlights that, even in contemporary times, wrong ideas can continue to exist for a long time despite contrary evidence, and therefore, that there is a need to critically assess accepted beliefs. While loss aversion has frequently been used to explain why people are prejudiced toward the current situation, perhaps fittingly, the case of loss aversion illustrates the importance of challenging the present state of science.

12. Why did Daniel Kahneman write Thinking Fast and Slow?

A. To record the process of our thinking. B. To test the contribution of loss aversion.

C. To show loss aversion is viewed important. D. To figure out how loss aversion comes about.

13. Which situation worried people most according to Kahneman?

A. Rising price. B. An extra holiday. C. Decreasing price. D. Pursuing gains.

14. What does the author think of science?

A. It is solely based on experiments. B. It bears little relation to evidence.

C. It interprets logic and argumentation. D. Its research process is objective and social.

15. What can be a suitable title for this passage?

A. Why Is An Important Idea False? B. How Can Loss Aversion Be Defined?

C. Is An Accepted Idea Really Objective? D. Can We Take Loss Aversion for Granted?

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Here’s the story of my growth over the past year. It’s a story of how I found the strength to change myself for better and then how I get rid of my fears to be even better. If anyone is inspired by this, that’s wonderful.

I’d been stuck as this incredibly insecure, under-confident and just scared individual for years and years. Since childhood I’d been stuck like this. Kids I met for the first time looked at me rudely and unkindly. Even my friends—actually, I had very few friends because I just felt too ashamed and frightened to make some, though I was eager to and felt extremely lonely in the depth of my heart—laughed at me and gave me bad nicknames. I felt terrible, but I’d just resigned to a life where I’d be afraid of everything and be this “introvert” （内向的人） or whatever. I thought I would never be able to change, never, for my whole life.

But then it all started changing. Something clicked. I suddenly determined to go on a diet, and lost some weight. It was tough. I felt hungry all the time. I was always tempted by the smell of bread and hamburger, even when I didn’t see them. But the toughest thing was that even if I had just had my meals, I felt hunger mentally. However, I held on. In over a period of 6 months I finally managed to stick to one of my diets. I didn’t know how. But I did make it.

The loss of 90 lbs brought me from overweight straight down to underweight. This isn’t the best part. More importantly and inspiringly, I suddenly found strength in me. I realized I could be totally different. And maybe, I could even be whatever I wanted to be. This taught me that I could change myself.

Then I wondered, perhaps, I could also get rid of those of my fears, just like I succeeded in losing my extra pounds. It might not be easy, but it might not be that difficult.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右：
