A messy desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking, say researchers from Germany. The researchers found in a series of linked studies- using a messy desk and a messy shop front -that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is ,visual and mental clutter（杂乱）forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious for their untidy desks. “Messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to cause can boost work efficiency or emhance employees creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.Oddly, the effect seems to work most on conservatives-political liberals are less liable to be worried about mess in the first place, say the researchers. “Business and government managers often promote clean desk policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity.” Writes a researcher, Jia Liu of the University of Groningen, “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter ones mind and complicate ones judgments”“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested peoples response in variousmessyenvironments, including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language taskremindedpeople of messiness.The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking.“They categorized products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that depicts a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.61.According to the text, a proper way to lead people towards clearer thinking is to . A.make a list of priorities B.simplify the tasks at hand C.follow famous people D.mess up their mind【答案】B【解析】根据第二段第一句可知 当四周混乱的时候，他们的思维更清晰。因为他们试图简化手头的工作。62.Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl for example? A.To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as celebrities. B.To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad. C.To inform readers of one way to success-untidy desks. D.To attract readers and show the authors wide range of knowledge.【答案】B【解析】第二段倒数第二句“视觉上和精神上的杂乱迫使人们集中注意力思维更清晰”；最后一句接着举了Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl的例子，就是为了说明上一句的。63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.A messy environment will certainly lead to a messy mind. B.A clean environment will do great harm to work efficiency. C.People tend to clear up the mess before thinking clearly. D.All people are not in favor of “clean desk” in the office.【答案】D【解析】D项的意思是“并不是所有人都赞成办公室里清洁的桌子”。可从倒数第三段东一句可知。64.The underlined word “detrimental” probably means . A.disadvantageous B.useful C.beneficial D.accessible【答案】A【解析】根据下句可知“。他们导致的解决问题的方法能够促进工作效率”。所以第一句的意思是“杂乱的桌子看上去似乎不想他们看上去那么有害的” 65.What is the main idea for this passage? A.The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are. B.Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees. C.We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency. D.Clean desks can boost the employees productivity and creativity.【答案】B【解析】第一段最后一句可知。【2012届·高三第一学期浙南、浙北部分学校12月联考】信息匹配阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题的最佳选项,选项中有一项是多余选项。The people below are all looking for a website to study EnglishRead the following information about the six sitesDecide which site would be the most suitable for the people mentioned in questions 61-65 and then mark the correct letter（AF）on your answer sheetThere is one extra paragraph about one site which you do not need to use61Li Ming is a student of EnglishRecently he comes across many idioms, which puzzle him a lotHe hopes to know more about English idioms62 Zhang Hua is a student quite interested in EnglishHe has studied English by himself for 3 years，and he wants to know how large his vocabulary is63 Wang Lin is a student who wants to give his e-pal some suggestions on English learning，but he is not so sure about his English Ievel64 Cheng Dong majors in English，and he is now preparing a paper on English pronunciation, so he hopes to get some materials for it65 Wu Hong is taking ESL soonBut he is still not so sure about his writing ability, so he is eager to get across to a site with various writing materialsAEveryday English in conversation：Do you sometimes get worried when youre unable to express yourself clearly?
