【題目】As the richest man in the world, Bill Gates is no stranger to success. So when the billionaire offers advice, it’s smart to listen. On Monday, Bill Gates hosted an “AMA” or “ask me anything” session（會(huì)議） on Reddit, during which a participant asked, “If you could give 19-year-old Bill Gates some advice, what would it be?”

Gates said: “I would explain that smartness is not single dimensional and not quite as important as I thought it was back then. I would say you might explore the developing world before you get into your forties. I wasn’t very good socially back then, but I am not sure there is advice that would fix that--maybe I had to be awkward and just grow up...”

In short: Intelligence isn’t one-dimensional-and it’s not the only ingredient required for success.

This isn’t the only time Gates has given out advice on navigating your years as a young adult. One of his best pieces of wisdom comes from fellow billionaire and friend Warren Buffett: Keep things simple. In a 2009 interview with CNBC. Gates said: “You look at his calendar; It’s pretty simple. You talk to him about a case where he thinks a business is attractive, and he knows a few basic numbers and facts about it. And he knows a few basic numbers and facts about it. And if it gets less complicated, he feels like then it’s something he’ll choose to invest (投資) in. He picks the things that he’s got a model of, a model that really is predictive and that’s going to continue to work over a long-term period. And so his ability to boil things down, to just work on the things that really count, to think through the basics —it’s so amazing that he can do that. It’s a special form of genius(天才).”

【1】What can we learn about 19-year-old Bill Gates?

A. He was not a smart youth.

B. He overvalued the importance of smartness.

C. He had developed great social skills.

D. He thought intelligence was multidimensional.

【2】What’s Warren Buffett’s motto?

A. Keep learning. B. Keep things simple.

C. Intelligence isn’t one-dimensional. D. Intelligence is the key to success.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “boil things down” mean?

A. Take things down clearly and in detail.

B. Break things down into many smaller pieces.

C. Make things shorter by leaving out unnecessary parts.

D. Do things at a slower pace in order to be careful.

【4】What does Bill Gates think about Warren Buffett?

A. Hard to understand. B. Easygoing and talkative.

C. Fearless in investment. D. Wise and extraordinary.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】本文主要講述名人蓋茨對(duì)如何成功給出的建議以及蓋茨講述他的朋友巴菲特做事的原則。

【1】Ｂ

推理判斷題。當(dāng)有人請(qǐng)他給19歲時(shí)的自己幾點(diǎn)建設(shè)時(shí)他說“I would explain that smartness is not single dimensional and not quite as important as I thought it was back then.”（我會(huì)解釋說，聰明不是單維的，不像我那時(shí)認(rèn)為的那么很重要。）分析這話可看出，當(dāng)時(shí)的他把聰明看的太重了，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【2】Ｂ

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中One of his best pieces of wisdom comes from fellow billionaire and friend Warren Buffett: Keep things simple.和蓋茨的話“You look at his calendar; It’s pretty simple.”（你看他的日程表，相當(dāng)簡(jiǎn)單），及“And if it gets less complicated, he feels like then it’s something he’ll choose to invest (投資）in”（如果它變得不那么復(fù)雜，他覺得那是他會(huì)選擇去投資的。）由這兩句可推斷出，Warren Buffett的座右銘為Keep things simple（化繁為簡(jiǎn)）。故選B。

【3】Ｃ

推理判斷題。根據(jù)下句“to just work on the things that really count, to think through the basics —it’s so amazing that he can do that.(只從事于那些真正重要的東西，從基本的方面去思考—－他能做到這一點(diǎn)真是太神奇了。)”由此可知，他能抓住重要的事，去掉不必要的東西，故與C相符，故選C。

【4】Ｄ

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段蓋茨說巴菲特是個(gè)喜歡簡(jiǎn)單的人，善于抓住重要的事。這樣做事情的方式真讓人驚訝，他是天才的一種特殊形式。從這種話中可推斷出蓋茨說巴菲特是個(gè)聰明的但又是個(gè)非凡的人，故D符合題意，故選D。

【題目】Like most of you, I’ve grown up with science putting it into my head that eating Cholesterol (膽固醇) is bad for us. My doctor has scolded me repeatedly for liking high-cholesterol snacks. But now, after 40 years of giving cholesterol such a rap, the scientific experts are reportedly ready to reverse (顛倒) themselves. Suddenly, we’re going to be told that high-cholesterol foods are not bad for us after all.

This isn’t the first time science reverses what it believes to be true, nor will it be the last. To optimists, the fluidity of science’s conclusions is a good thing - prove that science is always correcting itself in light of the very latest information. But a modem society that looks increasingly to science for not just what to eat, but also how to behave and what to think? How can we trust an authority that often changes its mind in extreme ways?

Science’s typical way isn’t limited to matters of nutrition. Go ahead and check it out for yourself by looking at the qualifiers used in the vast majority of honestly written science news articles. You’ll see that the stories are laced with weak words and phrases such as: some, in certain circumstances, probably, perhaps, may, could, tends, suggests, indicates, according to, is linked to, plays a role in. The grave problem I’ve observed over the years is that too often science and its reporters create the impression of certainty when none is proved. The cholesterol story is but one example of that make-believe certainty.

How much should we be concerned about this? A great deal, I believe, given science’s great and growing influence on our lives. At the very least, each of us needs to -understand that the scientific worldview — impressive as it surely is — is built on shifting sands. As Einstein once observed, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”

【1】The underlined part “giving cholesterol such a rap” (in Para. 1) means the author .

A. always promotes use of cholesterol B. sometimes stands for cholesterol

C. avoids cholesterol generally D. eats cholesterol regularly

【2】In the eyes of the author, changes in scientific statements .

A. are worrying B. are meaningless

C. are a good thing in a way D. are the major way to improve science

【3】According to the text, which of the following is NOT the word commonly used in scientific articles?

A. Likely B. Surely

C. Seems D. Appears

【4】What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Science can blind us.

B. Science need be open to doubt.

C. Science is not as important as thought.

D. Science should be built on experiments.
