正确答案: B

He is good at making decisions.

题目：请阅读 Passage 2,完成1~5小题。 　　Passage 2 　　IF YOU want something done,the saying goes,give it to a busy person.It is an odd way to guarantee hitting deadlines.But a paper recently published in the Journal of Consumer Research suggests it may,in fact,be true-as long as the busy person conceptualises the deadline in the right way. 　　Yanping Tu of the University of Chicago and Dilip Soman of the University of Toronto 　　examined how individuals go about both thinking about and completing tasks.Previous studies have shown that such activity progresses through four distinct phases: pre-decision,post-decision (but pre-action),action and review.It is thought that what motivates the shift from the decision-making stages to the doing-something stage is a change in mindset. 　　Human beings are a deliberative sort,weighing the pros and cons of future actions and remaining open to other ideas and influences.However,once a decision is taken,the mind becomes more "implemental" and focuses on the task at hand."The mindset towards 'where can I get a sandwich'," explains Ms Tu,"is more implemental than the mindset towards 'should I get a sandwich or not?'" 　　Ms Tu and Dr Soman advise in their paper that "the key step in getting things done is to get started." But what drives that? They believe the key that unlocks the implemental mode lies in how people categorise time.They suggest that tasks are more likely to be viewed with an implemental mindset if an imposed deadline is cognitively linked to "now" -a so-called like-the-present scenario.That might be a future date within the same month or calendar year,or pegged to an event with a familiar spot in the mind's timeline (being given a task at Christmas,say,with a deadline of Easter).Conversely,they suggest,a deadline placed outside such mental constructs (being "unlike-the-present" ) exists merely as a circle on a calendar,and as such is more likely to be considered deliberatively and then ignored until the last minute. 　　To <u>flesh out</u> this ideA.the pair carried out five sets of tests,with volunteers ranging from farmers in India to undergraduate students in Toronto.In one test,the farmers were offered a financial incentive to open a bank account and make a deposit within six months.The researchers predicted those approached in June would consider a deadline before December 31st as like-the-present.Those approached in July,by contrast,received a deadline into the next year,and were expected to think of their deadline as unlike-the-present.The distinction worked.Those with a deadline in the same year were nearly four times more likely to open the account immediately as those for whom the deadline lay in the following year.Arbitrary though calendars may be in parsing up the continuous fiow of time,humans parse their concept of time in line with <u>them.</u> 　　The effect can manifest itselfin even subtler ways.In another set of experiments,undergraduate students were given a calendar on a Wednesday and were asked to suggest an appropriate day to carry out certain tasks before the following Sunday.The trick was that some were given a calendar with all of the weekdays coloured purple,with weekends in beige (making a visual distinction between a Wednesday and the following Sunday).Others were given a calendar in which every other week,Monday to Sunday,was a solid colour (meaning that a Wednesday and the following Sunday were thus in the same week,and in the same colour).Even this minor visual cue affected how like-or unlike-the-present the respondents tended to view task priorities. 　　These and other bits of framing and trickery in the research support the same thesis: that making people link a future event to today triggers an implemental response,regardless of how far in the future the deadline actually lies.If the journey of l,000 miles starts with a single step,the authors might suggest that you take that step before this time next week.

解析：推断题。根据题意，首先排除D项，因为D项和题意重合，并未说明原因。根据文章第一、二段可知，繁忙的人可以通过正确的决定将事情在截止日期前完成，而不是A项“更加珍惜时间”或者C项“立即完成事情”，故本题选B。

[单选题]在给学生教新的问题解决任务时，最适宜的方法是从学生熟悉的例子引入新课题，从知识分类学习论来看，最适当的解释是( )。

熟悉的例子可以减轻初学者的工作记忆负担

解析：人的工作记忆容量是有限的，应将有限的容量用于新内容的学习。例子熟悉，学生不必花更多的工作记忆容量来对例子进行加工，从而腾出更多的容量用于新内容的学习。

[单选题]下列选项中与"书法家--画家"逻辑相同的是( )。

党员--教师

解析：书法家--画家，党员--教师都是交叉关系。童星--明星，军人--军官是包含关系；幼儿--青年是全异关系。故选择B。

[单选题] In a pre-listening activity, students need to learn to cope with some ambiguity in listening and realize that they can still learn even when they do not understand every single word. The aim of this activity is to develop the skill of ______.

listening for gist

解析：考查听力教学。在听前活动中，学生需要学会应对听力过程中模糊不清的内容，并且需要意识到当他们不能完全理解每一个单词的时候仍然可以学习。这属于培养学生听主旨的能力，A为听细节，B为听主旨，C为听结构，D为听词汇。故选B。

[单选题] Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed. Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually tums out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and utters vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar. Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man's brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy-bear with the sound pattern "teddy-bear". And even more incredible is the young brain's ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of'sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways. But speech has to be induced, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child's babbling, grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child's non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.

The purpose of Frederick's experiment was ________.

to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speak

解析：1.细节题。短文第一段中指出“…to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue”由此可知Frederick实验的目的是：假设孩子在听不见母语的情况下，会说什么语言。 2.细节题。根据短文第二段第三句“Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant…”可知孩子说话较晚是由于母亲对婴儿所发出的语言暗示和信号无动于衷，没有充分的注意和重视。故选项C正确。 3.细节题。根据第四段最后一句“And even more mcredible is the young brain's ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.”可知不可思议的是孩子可以重新组合句子的单词，说出自己的句子。故选项C正确。 4.细节题。根据短文最后一段第一句“But speech has to be induced…”可知言语需要诱发，即需要鼓励孩子说话，故D项表述不符合文意。所以选D。 5.细节题。短文第三段指出“…but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually tums out to be of high IQ”即也存在这种状况：孩子开始说话晚但智商很高。故选项D正确。

[单选题]四省交界的砀山，安徽省最穷之地。其艰苦，叠文红描述："躺在床上能看见星星，不是从窗户，是屋顶。"她个人消费，每月不到80元。大部分钱与物，送给需要的学生了。叠文红的做法体现了()的职业道德规范。

热爱学生

解析：《中小学教师职业道德规范》（1997年修订）规定"热爱学生"，要求教师要关心爱护全体学生。保护学生安全，关心学生健康，维护学生权益。题目中的老师把自己大部分的钱物都送给需要的学生了，体现了热爱学生。因此选A。
