16、t is one of Shakespeares plays. C. It mainly talks about being honest. D. It appeals to readers feeling hopeless. BWhen I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldnt catch anything. I usually

17、got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because “Im not a fish!” I didnt know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish doe

18、s?As I got a little older, I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is

19、why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish dont have any eyelids（眼瞼）and the sun hurts their eyes.The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them. When

20、I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didnt completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Ye

21、ars later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 24. Why was the author upset in the fishing trips when he w

22、as nine?A. He could not catch a fish. B. His father was not patient with him. C. His father did not teach him fishing. D. He could not influence a fish as his father did. 25.

24、ideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaires biographyCEver wonder how your brain works when making decisions bigger than medium spicy salad, like buying a car or accepting a job offer? Researchers from the University of Dundee in Scotland conducted a study that clarifies why y

25、ou may want to have a small bite before making that big decision. Benjamin Vincent from the University of Dundees Psychology department and his co-author Jordan Skyrnka tested 50 people two times: once when they followed their normal eating patterns and once when they did not eat anything during the

26、 day. Using three different types of rewards（food, money, and song downloads）, the team discovered when presented with the choice of receiving the reward now vs. double the award at some point in the future，participants would usually volunteer to wait for 35 days to earn a larger bounty, but when th

27、ey were hungry, they said they would only wait three days. “We wanted to know whether being in a state of hunger had a specific effect on how you make decisions only relating to food or if it had broader effects, and this research suggests decisionmaking gets more present-focused when people are hun

28、gry,” Vincent said in a story about the study on the universitys website. “You would predict that hunger would impact peoples preferences relating to food, but it is not yet clear why people get more present-focused for completely unrelated rewards. Hunger is so common that it is important to unders

29、tand the non-obvious ways in which our preferences and decisions may be affected by it,” he said. In an earlier study of the subject by a team at Cambridge University in England, the researchers noted that serotonin（血清素）plays a major role in the decision-making process. “Since the raw material for m

30、aking serotoninan amino acid called tryptophanonly comes from diet, levels of the chemical decline between meals,” reports a piece in the Telegraph about the study. “This can lead to aggressiveness and impulsiveness（沖動）,” say the team. 28. How did Benjamin Vincent and Jordan Skyrnka carry out their

31、research?A. By analyzing reasons. B. By making comparison. C. By giving examples. D. By filling questionnaires. 29. The underlined word “bounty” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced byA. bonusB. salaryC. incomeD. fortune30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. What should be eaten to avoid aggr

32、essiveness. B. How can we get enough serotonin from our diet. C. What other factors will influence ones decision-making. D. How does a chemical function in the course of making a decision. 31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Get Enough Serotonin from Your DietB. Being Hungry Makes a Wrong D

33、ecisionC. Having a Small Bite Makes a Wise ManD. Decision-making with Larger RewardsDAn artificial intelligence that navigates its environment much like mammals could help solve a mystery about our own internal GPS. Equipped with virtual versions of specialized brain nerve cells called grid（網格）cells

34、，the AI could easily solve and plan new routes through virtual mazes（迷宮）. That performance，described online May 9 in Nature, suggests the grid cells in animal brains play a key role in path planning. “This is a big step forward in understanding our own navigational neural circuit,”says Ingmar Kanits

35、cheider, a computational neuroscientist. The University of Texas at Austin is not involved in the work. The discovery that rats track their location with the help of grid cells earned a Norwegian research team the 2014 Nobel Prize in physiology to medicine. Neuroscientists suspected these cells, whi

36、ch have also been found in humans，might help not only give mammals an internal coordinate（協同）system, but also plan direct paths between points. To test that idea, neuroscientist Caswell Barry at University College London, along with colleagues at Google DeepMind, created an AI that contained virtual

37、 nerve cells, or neurons, whose activity resembled that of real grid cells. The researchers trained this AI to navigate virtual mazes by giving the system reward signals when it reached its destination. The AI bested a human expert player at solving the virtual mazes, and proved savvier than other a

38、rtificial neural networks in planning ways through mazes larger than those traversed（橫穿的）during its training. When a door opened to provide a shortcut through the maze, the new AI took the more direct route. By contrast, AI systems without artificial grid cells ignored the open door and took the lon

39、g way around. These findings support the idea that grid cells do more than help mammals orient themselves in time and space; they also help animals plan the most straightforward direction to destinations. AI also appears to be “a very powerful tool” for testing other neuroscience theories，Barry says

40、. He and his colleagues suggest that virtual experiments on artificial neural networks that imitate different regions of the brain may eventually replace some animal testing. But there are limitations to using AI to study the brain. Because the system is meant to learn on its own, researchers cant t

41、ell why the system made a specific decision, says neuroscientist Francesco Savelli at Johns Hopkings University, whose commentary also appears online May 9 in Nature. 32. Whats the function of the virtual grid cells?A. Helping animals adapt to the environment. B. Controlling the growth of nerve cell

42、s. C. Assisting the AI in finding a way-out. D. Promoting the cooperation between AI robots. 33. The underlined word “sawier” in Paragraph 5 most probably means_. A. slowerB. nearerC. earlierD. wiser34. We can infer from Paragraph 6 that_. A. animals axe as intelligent as humansB. animal testing on

43、the brain will be reduced in futureC. humans will be equipped with the virtual grid cellsD. grid cells are more important than other nerve cells35. What is Francesco Savelli unclear about?A. How the Al system works. B. What AI can learn on its own. C. How effective reward signals will work on a robo
