annual cost to use one of the apps for Android?A.$20.B.$24.C.$36.D.$48.23.In which category can you find these apps?A.Smart Finance B.Developer Tools.C.Social Networking.D.Time Management.BA few years ago,I stood underneath a red overhanging cliff near my hometown.The weather was amazing.Deer chewed on the brown grasses by the river below.An eagle rode the wind.Townsfolk and visitors wandered in 学科网（北京）股份有限公司a nearby hot spring.I was tied in,ready to climb.I was attempting to do a route first try,“onsight,”as we call it,which means I didnt know what I was climbing into.It would have been a hard on sight for me to onsight hard climbs.You need clarity.No interference.Just as I was about to climb,nerves in my body,which I hadnt felt yet,said hello.Thats not good for any athlete.Desperate,I painted a coat of confidence on my inner walls of doubt.I visualized myself at the top,celebrating.“You can do this,”I firmly told myself.“If you believe,success is certain.”It didnt work.I fell near the top.Defeated,I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it.My self-worth was bound together by my success or failure at that moment,and that set off a chain reaction:unnatural desire,pressure,performance anxiety,anticipation,a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below,bad decision-making,irregular movement,distraction,frustration.All in that order,too.In a flash,1 told myself that on my next attempt,success or failure was irrelevant.“Make one move at a time.Thats all.”I gave myself a pass from whatever would happen.It worked.I floated to the top with self-control and clarity.That moment got me thinking.At some point,I framed this experience for myself in terms of simple mathematics.When I added determination,courage,self-confidence and desire,I failed.When I took away the desire for success,I improved.I enjoyed it more as well,which,as an athlete of 30 years,I didnt think was possible.Eventually,I discovered the power of subtraction.24.What can we infer from the authors first attempt?A.He managed to reach the top of the cliff.B.He fully knew what he was climbing into.C.He was confident in his own ability to get over obstacles.D.He employed mental practice in order to overcome his nervousness.25.What is the authors purpose in writing Paragraph 4?A.To list his shortcomings.B.To give background information.C.To describe a social phenomenon.D.To explain the reason for his failure.26.Which of the following can best describe the author?A.Determined and sensible.B.Optimistic and humorous.C.Modest and conservative.D.Aggressive and stubborn.27.What is conveyed in the text?A.Every dog has its day.B.Sharp tools make good work.C.Go into battle with a light pack.D.Every cloud has a silver lining.CAs athletes get stronger and faster,the pace of play continues to increase.The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating(裁判)is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology.Its called the video replay.The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference(传球干扰).Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls.If youve been watching the FIFA World Cup,you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee(VAR)played a key role in 学科网（北京）股份有限公司almost every game.And in the Kentucky Derby,a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse.No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.However,many puriststhose who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional wayespecially in soccer,argue its not the way the game was invented,and that the video replay is tainting the sport.But dont you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games?I know I do.Yes,it can slow the game down,but I feel it is worth it.If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly,those same views need to be available to the officiating crews.Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference(NFC)Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints.When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman,with just 109 seconds to play,no flag was raised on the field.It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits.The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory.The no-call deeply angered the public.The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse(魔咒).But for me,keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.28.What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2?A.The video replay has been widely used.B.League games have become competitive.C.Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.D.People are showing more interest in sports than before.29.What does the underlined word“tainting”in paragraph 3 mean?A.Tricking.B.Promoting.C.Damaging.D.Restoring.30.What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game?A.They relied a lot on the video replay.B.They cared too much about details.C.They were definitely stressed out.D.They were terribly disqualified.31.What would be the best title for the text?A.Video replays:high-end technology in sportsB.Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports?C.Officiating:a duty that requires honestyD.What do qualified referees really mean?DIts good to be smart.After all,intelligent people earn more money,accumulate more wealth,and even live longer.But theres another side to the story.The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others dont,especially in situations that require common sense.Travis Bradberry,president at Talent Smart,explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that“Rational thinking(理性思维)and intelligence dont tend to go hand in hand.Intelligent people are more likely to make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic.These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.”They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they dont even realize when theyre making a mess by answering without thinking things through.学科网（北京）股份有限公司A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities.They often fail to recognize when they need help,and when they do recognize it,they tend to believe that no one else is capable of providing it.“Its hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that theyre wrong.Its even harder for smart people because they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,”Bradberry wrote.“For smart people,being wrong can feel like a personal attack,and being right,a necessity.”Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback.They tend to undervalue the opinions of others,which means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback.Not only does this tendency slow their growth and performance,it can lead to harmful relationships,both personally and professionally.Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them.They simply dont understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things,and because of that,they push people too hard.They set the bar too high,and when people take too long or dont get things quite right,they assume its due to a lack of effort.So they push even harder.32.What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people?A.They can differ in their personalities.B.They are admired by people around them.C.They usually face their own weaknesses calmly.D.They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.33.What accounts for the existence of intelligent peoples logical blind spots?A.Their irrational way of thinking.B.Too much concern about their work.C.Too much faith in their ability to think.D.Their ignorance of behavioral science.34.What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions?A.They may experience a lot of emotional stress.B.They may commit more errors than ever before.C.They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.D.They may suffer in their professional and private life.35.What is said about those working with or under overachieving people?A.They are under increasing pressure.B.They set higher goals for themselves.C.They put a lot of effort into their work.D.They take less time to get things done.第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Learn a Language as an AdultIf you dream of learning a
