What the leader asked us to follow was simple enough. She was a good teachershe described what we had to do, then showed us how, then asked us to do it.thats a typical teaching method. But I was finding the do part far more difficult and stressful than I had expected. I was outside my comfort zone, feeling awkward and uncertain. I tried to follow her directions, but I made mistakes in front of the others, and it felt embarrassing . Heres the thing: Although the act of learning is related to abilities, behaviors and methods, the experience of learning is emotional. And its the emotional experience of learningof being a beginner and making mistakes, often publiclythat keeps people from even trying to learn. While learning may not be that hard, being a beginner can be very hard, especially when we see ourselves, and want to be seen by others in a group, as skilled and confident. Being awkward can even feel shameful. But its just a stage we have to go through in order to become graceful and competent. And our unwillingness to experience this stage can stop our future growth. This is especially true of areas where you, re already an expert. Though I have taught leadership programs for 30 years, I still spend at least three weeks every year going to various personal development programs. More often than not, I, like a beginner, tried new skills, feeling awkward and even shame for not being better at a skill. And those are hard feelings to feel. But they are the unavoidable growth pains that come with learning, developing, and becoming better at something. I wish, by the end of the weekend workshop, I could be completely comfortable and relaxed in all our activities. But thats not the case. Maybe Im a little more comfortable. But learning takes time and comfort takes experience. There is one thing the workshop made me more comfortable doing: staying in the discomfort of learning long enough to learn.；4How does the author introduce the topic of text?ABy sharing a personal experience.BBy describing an excellent teacher.CBy explaining a typical teaching method.DBy recommending a weekend workshop.；5What may prevent people from trying to learn according to the text?AFear of learning nothing.BFear of making mistakes.CLack of learning methods.DLack of communication skills.；6What can be learned about the author?AHe knows well how learning feels.BHe is regarded as a successful leader.CHe designs various development programs.DHe cant bear awkward feelings of learning.；7What is the best title for the text?AHow to Become a Successful LearnerBLearning Needs Efforts and ExperiencesCHow to Avoid Em说明文barrassment in LearningDLearning Is Supposed to Feel UncomfortableC（说明文）Language is essential to what it means to be human, yet we rarely give it a second thought. What are the patterns in the sounds, words, and meanings of which language is composed, and where do they come from? Progress toward answering these questions has been blocked by the previous misconception that humans possess an ideal language, where words have clear meanings and are put together following well-defined grammatical rules.However, language, I suggest, is like a game of improvised charades (即兴字谜游戏) a limitless collection of loosely connected games, each shaped by the demands of the situation and the shared history of the players. Like charades, language is continually “invented” in the moment and reinvented each time we play again. Ludwig Wittgenstein, a most influential philosopher, saw meaning as arising from how we use language in communicative games. A cry of “hammer!” could be an instruction to start hammering or to pass a hammer and so on.From this perspective (角度), learning a language is like learning to be part of a series of endless, community-wide games of charades, where each new game builds on those that have gone before. Each new generation of language learners is not starting from scratch but joining a tradition of linguistic (语言的) games that have been in progress from before anyone can remember. To join in the game, the child, or the second-language-learning adult, needs to jump into a linguistic game and start playing. This is how they gradually master specific communicative challenges, one by one.Humans have collectively and accidentally created language, which has allowed us to dominate the planet and, quite literally, change the course of evolution. The story of language is the story of humanity.8What is the wrong conception of an ideal language?AIt is more complicated.BIt is rarely taken seriously.CIt has distinct grammar rules.DIt comprises sounds and words.9What can be inferred about the example of “hammer”?APhilosophers are experts in vocabulary.BThe meaning of “hammer” is hard to grasp.CHammers can be used on different occasions.DThe meaning of words changes with the context.10What is a proper way of learning language according to the author?AObserving a tradition of games.BLearning from past experiences.CPlaying games of linguistic charades.DAccepting communicative challenges.11What does the text mainly talk about?AA modern way of playing games.BA new understanding of language.CThe course of language evolution.DThe importance of rethinking languageD（议论文）Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But its time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without todays overused technology.；12The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means .AadvantageBattractionCadaptionDattempt；13From the passage, technology companies aim to .Aattract people to buy their productsBprovide the latest informationCimprove peoples quality of lifeDdeal with cultural diseases；14It can be inferred from this passage that people .Aconsider too much technology wonderfulBhave realized the harm of high-tech devicesCcan regain freedom without high-tech devicesDmay enjoy life better without overused technology；15Whats the authors attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?ANeutral.BSkeptical.CDisapproving.DSympathetic.参考答案ADD ABAD CDCB BADCTrue blue will never strain. （真金不怕火炼）学科网（北京）股份有限公司
