【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 g that is very important, and that is wisdom. One can have a very quick, inventive brain and plenty of experience, but if one uses these foolishly, one harms both oneself and others. Wisdom does not always e with age ——there are plenty of foolish middleaged people about ——but the average person tends to learn wisdom as he gets older, usually by making painful of embarrassing mistakes. Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible。 and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature。 how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate observation of human nature, but which is basically a waste of time because it is not.（1）According to the writer, the great discoveries made by Albert Einstein were mainly a result in________. of hard work of the brain experience deep understanding of the nature（2）Some people achieve success much later in life because . work often requires much experience do not have a chance to show their talents have to learn lessons from failures fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work（3）The importance of wisdom lies in the fact that . helps to avoid various mistakes contributes to one39。s creativity encourages one to go forward in face of difficulty provides the right direction of efforts（4）The writer came to believe that . is always a waste of time to make plans about the future is human nature to make attempts on what looks impossible should always challenge the impossible to push the society forward has to use wisdom in deciding what is the best thing to do【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了人類的大腦在20歲左右于巔峰，在以后的成就多數(shù)是因?yàn)樾枰S富的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。除了頭腦敏銳和經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富外，智慧也非常重要，因?yàn)橹腔蹫槿藗兲峁┝苏_的努力方向。人們要用智慧來決定做什么才是最好的。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段“It has been discovered that after the age of sixteen, the number of our brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. In certain types of activity, the human brain is at its highest point in the early twenties, ... and we know that Albert Einstein made all his worldshaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.” 人們發(fā)現(xiàn)，16歲以后，我們的腦細(xì)胞數(shù)量開始以每年幾百萬的速度減少。在某些類型的活動(dòng)中，人類的大腦在20歲早期處于巔峰狀態(tài),... 我們知道阿爾伯特愛因斯坦在20到25歲之間做出了所有震驚世界的發(fā)現(xiàn)。用余生來整理和安排這些發(fā)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)對愛因斯坦所的發(fā)現(xiàn)可知，他的偉大的發(fā)現(xiàn)是在2025歲之間，更是印證了人類大腦在20年代初達(dá)到了巔峰，可推斷出，本段主要研究人類大腦巔峰期，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段“But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.”但在某些其他類型的活動(dòng)中(作家可能是其中一種)，經(jīng)驗(yàn)比頭腦的敏捷更重要，人們通常會發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)人在他一生的晚期才達(dá)到頂峰?？赏茢喑鲇行┤嗽谕砟耆〉贸晒κ且?yàn)樗麄兊墓ぷ髦型枰芏嘟?jīng)驗(yàn)。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom.... Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible； and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there.

Mostly, it is learning about human nature；how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react.

When the necropsy (尸檢) was performed, Blatchley told NPR, he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale39。s stomach. It was full of plastic nothing but nonstop plastic. he said It was filled to the point that its stomach was as hard as a baseball. That means that this animal has been suffering not for days or weeks but for months or even a year or more, Blatchley added. Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D39。Bone Collector Museum, a natural history museum in Davao. In the ing days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale39。s system. Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals. Within the last 10 years, we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf, he said. Of them, 57 have died due to man whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste, or gotten caught in pollution — and four were pregnant. Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. If we keep going this way, it will be more unmon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic, he said.（1）What can he inferred from the second paragraph?
