Psychology is both an applied and academic field that studies the human mind and behavior. Research in psychology seeks to understand and explain how we think, act and feel. As most people already realize, a large part of psychology is devoted to the 41 and treatment of mental health issues, but that‘s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to applications for psychology. In addition to mental health, psychology can be applied to a variety of issues that 42 health and daily life including performance

enhancement, self-help, motivation, productivity, and much more.

Psychology 43 out of both philosophy and biology. Discussions of these two subjects date as far back as the early Greek thinkers including Aristotle and Socrates. The word psychology comes from the Greek word psyche, literally meaning ―life‖ or ―breath.‖ The 44 of psychology as a separate and independent field of study truly came about when Wilhelm Wundt established the first experimental psychology lab in Leipzig, Germany in 1879. Wundt‘s work was 45on describing the structures that compose the mind. Wundt believed that properly trained individuals would be able to identify accurately the mental processes that 46feelings, sensations and thoughts.

Throughout psychology‘s history, some different schools of thought have formed to explain human thought and behavior. These schools of thought often rise to 47 for a period. While these schools of thought are sometimes considered as competing forces, each viewpoint has 48 to our understanding of psychology.

Today, psychologists prefer to use more objective scientific methods to understand, explain, and predict human behavior. The discipline has two major areas of focus: 49 psychology and applied psychology. Educational psychology focuses on the study of different sub-topics within psychology including personality, social behavior, and human development. These psychologists 50 basic research that seeks to expand our theoretical knowledge while other researchers do applied research that attempts to solve everyday problems.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Feeling good about our actions —not guilt or pity—motivates giving, according to the latest research.

51seeing or hearing about suffering children makes most people uncomfortable, that grief is not what drives them to dig into their pockets and donate. The reasons people decide to be selfless, it turns out, may be slightly more 52 .

In the study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers found that people are more likely to give when they think it will make them feel better. They donate, 53 , when they feel hope about putting smiles on those expectant and suffering faces. And that hope, or similar feel-good sensations, are driven by the brain‘s reward systems.

Researchers — and charities — have long known that putting a(n) 54 face on an abstract problem opens hearts and wallets. Josef Stalin once said that while one death is a(n) 55 , a million is merely a number. Studies have since found that quantifying the size of a disaster or particular need actually 56 giving, while presenting a single story is more likely to cause a desire to help.

But it wasn‘t clear whether this ―identifiable victim‖ effect resulted from people‘s 57 over their own privilege and resources—or from a sense of connection with the 58 and an urge to feel good about making a difference.

徐汇高三英语本卷共12 页第5页

To find out, researchers led by Alexander Genevsky, a graduate student in psychology at Stanford, imaged the brains of 22 young adults. In the scanner, they saw either a silhouette(剪影) or a head shot of a young African child. As in previous studies, participants were far more likely to give if they saw a face than a blank silhouette—donating almost twice as much in photo trials than in the others. However, this decision was related strongly to their 59 . If they showed little activity in their nucleus accumbens— a brain region linked to every type of pleasurable experience— they were actually less likely to give. But if there is a sharp 60 of activity in this reward area, they felt good and gave more. And the photos of the children were more likely to 61 this reward center. Activity in the accumbens, in fact, completely 62 the difference in giving seen between the silhouette-based requests and the photo-based ones.

While the findings point to the feel-good 63 behind giving, other research will have to address the question of why givers get that positive emotional boost. Do people feel rewarded when they give because they think about the happiness of the recipient — or do they feel good because they see themselves as 64 and that self-esteem boost(自信心增强) is mood-enhancing?Such information could help charities 65 their messages to maximize their effectiveness.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Handwri ting has existed for about 6,000 years. It‘s one of our most important inventions. Without it, we wouldn‘t be able to record knowledge or pass ideas from one generation to the next.

Most of us know, but often forget, that handwriting is not natural. It‘s n ot like seeing or talking, which are what we are born with. In early America, only wealthy men and businessmen learned to write. A ―good hand‖became a sign of class and intelligence as well as morality. Most, meanwhile, signed legal documents with a mere ?X‘ and the presence of a witness. Writing only spread to the masses in the 19th

徐汇高三英语本卷共12 页第6页

century, after schools began teaching handwriting.

67 —left-handed students often had their arm tied tightly to their bodies, so they‘d learn to write with the ―correct‖ hand. In more modern times, you may remember spending hours learning the correct stroke(笔画), formation and spacing of upper- and lower-case letters.

But today, schools are shifting the focus to coursework in STEM –short for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. With limited hours and an increased pressure to meet higher standards, teachers are emphasizing technology and tablets and less of the written word.

Technology has threatened writing long before every man, woman and child carried a phone. It came with the invention of the typewriter, which standardized written communication, and that same argument will reappear as technology advances.

I don‘t know if handwriting will ever die. But today, the growing emphasis on typing is having far-reaching effects. To get a glimpse of the future, just look at the youth. Instead of curly Qs or crazy Ls, kids are using emoticons such as ? or ? to give a personal touch.

Typing is more democratic, too —it isn‘t a complicated skill to master. Keyboards are changing the physical connection between writers and text, and people who can‘t write by hand, like the blind, can now use tools to communicate only by touch.

I suppose it‘s easy to grieve over the passing of one era(年代) into another. Sure, I‘ll miss the writing of letters, and the beautiful and well-practiced signature written with a pen. And while some pathways in our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting, we‘ll develop new ones as we swipe(滑动) and double-click our way into the future.

66. Before the 19th century in America, _____________.

A. only intelligent peoplecould learn handwriting in schools

B. legal documents were signed with the presence of a witness

C. most of the people didn‘t even know how to write their names

D. people would spend hours learning how to write everyday

67. Which of the following sentences can best fit in the blank in the third paragraph?

A. Writing was a means of human communication

B. Writing has always been serious business

C. Schools tried differentways to force students to write

D. Young people worked hard to improve handwriting

68. We can learn from the passage that ______________.

A. the invention of cellphones started the decline of handwriting

B. handwriting will disappear because young people write poorly

C. typing makes it possible for blind people to communicate

D. typing is comparatively easy to learn, even for the disabled

69. What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?

A. The era of handwriting is leaving and that of typing is coming.

B. Letters and signatures are gradually disappearing for sure.

C. The decline of writing has drawn much attention from the public.

D. Our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting.

(C)

Women are still underrepresented in top academic positions. One of the possible explanations for this is the increasing importance of obtaining research funding. Women are often less successful in this than men. Psychology researchers Dr. Romyvan der Lee and professor Naomi Ellemers investigated whether this difference also occurs at the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and examined potential explanations.

The researchers were assigned by NWO to carry out this study as part of the broader evaluation of NWO's procedures and its gender diversity policy. The aim was to gain more insight into the causes of the differences in awarding rates for male and female applicants for research funding. The analysis addressed an important ―talent programme‖ of NWO, the Veni grant. ―Whoever receives this grant has a greater chance of obtaining an important appointment at a university,‖says Naomi Ellemers.

Van der Lee and Ellemers investigated all the applications submitted by male and female researchers over a period of three years: a total of 2823 applications. Under the direction of NWO these applications were assessed by scientific committees consisting of men and women. The results demonstrate that the awarding rates for female applicants (14.9%) are systematically lower than those for male applicants (17.7%). ―If we compare the proportion of women among the applicants with the proportion of women among those award ed funding, we see a loss of 4%,‖ said E llemers.

The study reveals that women are less positively evaluated for their qualities as researcher than men are. ―Interestingly the research proposals of women and men are evaluated equally positively. In other words, the reviewers see no difference in the quality of the propo sals that men and women submit,‖ says Romy van der Lee.

In search for a possible cause for the differences in awarding rates and evaluations, the researchers also investigated the language use in the instructions and forms used to assess the quality of applications. This clearly revealed the occurrence of gendered language. The words that are used to indicate quality are frequently words that were established in previous research as referring mainly to the male gender stereotype (such as challenging and excellen t). Romy van der Lee explains: ―As a result, it appears that men more easily satisfy the assessment criteria, because these better fit the characteristics stereotypically associated with men.‖

徐汇高三英语本卷共12 页第9页

In response to the results of this research, NWO will devote more attention to the gender awareness of reviewers in its methods and procedures. It will also be investigated which changes to the assessment procedures and criteria can most strongly contribute to more equal chances for men and women to obtain research funding. This will include an examination of the language used by NWO. NWO chair Jos Engelen s said, ―The research has yielded valuable results and insights. Based on the recommendations made by the researchers we will therefore focus in the coming period on the development of evidence-based measures to reduce the differen ce in awarding rates.‖

74. Van der Lee and Ellemers carried out the research to find out whether ____________.

A. women are less successful than men in top academic positions

B. female applicantsare at a disadvantage in getting research funding

C. NOW‘s procedures and gender diversity policy enhance fair play

D. there are equal chances for men and women to be admitted to a university

75. Van der Lee and Ellemers‘ study shows that _____________.

A. grant receivers were more likely to get appointments at universities

B. men applicantsfor research funding outnumbered women applicants

C. the research proposals of women are equally treated with those of men

D. the reviewers have narrow, prejudiced conceptions of women candidates

76. What might be the main cause for the differences in awarding rates and evaluations?

A. The wordsused in the instructions and forms.

B. T he reviewers‘ preference to applications.

C. The methods and procedures for evaluation.

D. The vague and unclear assessment criteria.

77. What will NWO probably do next in response to the results of this research?

A. Eliminate possibilities for difference in awarding rates.

B. Design a language examination for all the reviewers.

C. Emphasize the importance of gender awareness.

D. Improve the assessment procedures and criteria.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Being a small business brings advantages the big ones can only dream of. Michael Heppell, author of the latest edition of ―5 Star Service‖, a book on customer service, has interesting take on this development. ―I‘m often amazed that smaller business es think that the secret of success is to be more like the big ones, when in fact the opposite is true,‖ he said.

He pointed to the very different stories of two fishmongers (鱼贩) in his home town. Having served customers －including Heppell －for many years, the two were joined by a Tesco Extra, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer.

The firstfishmonger began to complain about these newly-arrived chains to the local press, and even his customers. He pointed out that he couldn‘t compete with them on price and finally closed down.

徐汇高三英语本卷共12 页第10页

―Fishmonger two was different,‖ explained Heppell. ―She worked hard to create a local brand and local loyalty. She would love to tell you about the fish, when and where it was caught and offer some little extras if you spent a few pounds more. She must have felt the effects of the three new arrivals in town but she didn‘t complain once. She survived, and of course, since her competitor closed she‘s never been busier.‖

Small businesses that want to grow should stop trying to imitate the big names, advised Heppell. ―Find out what they don‘t do that you can, and what you do that they can‘t. The secret is by providing brilliant levels of service,‖ he went on to say.

They should also start thinking about speed, believes Heppell, and realize that this can differentiate them from larger competitors. ―Smaller businesses can often change fast er, adapt more easily and manage trends more quickly than the big boys. However, looking at many smaller businesses the opposite appears to be true. What can you do to get a first mover advantage?‖

Too often smaller business leaders feel that they have to offer whatever the larger players are offering. They believe that having a narrower range is a disadvantage, but they need to realize that it actually offers them a competitive edge.The mindset of many smaller business owners must change. They need to focus on how to improve their own businesses and what their customers really want.―Because we‘re small we can offer x, y and z. It‘s because we‘re local that we excel at a, b and c,‖ should be the message, said Heppell.

(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)

78. The first fishmongercomplained about the newly-arrived chains because he thought __________.

79. The secondfishmonger survived because she managed to _____________.

80. What are the two advantages that smaller businesses can have according to Heppell?

81. According to the passage, instead of trying to imitate the big names, smaller business owners should __________.

2016沈阳市高三英语二模

2016年沈阳市高三质量监测（二） A Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize（交往）with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten. When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us. A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle（摔跤）.They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, an other eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities, they have adaptabilities. 21. Why did Jack come to our home? A. I cared for an eyeless cat. B. I didn’t mind whether he was blind. C. No other young cats kept him company. D. My friend begged me to take him home. 22. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors. B. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat. C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment. D. Jack is good at talking and playing with people. 23. What does the underlined word “issue” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Trouble B. Fun C. Luck D. Business 24. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. A cat has nine lives. B. All is well that ends well. C. God help those who help themselves. D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
