Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about drinking is the key to critical（判断性的）thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes（过程）. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education. The word “critical” here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen-beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning. Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker. Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence（智力）, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, “Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.” 1.Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically, _______. A．it will be hard for us to think naturally and fast. B．we might be controlled by other people’s ideas. C．we will follow the ideas of others naturally. D．we might be footed by other people’s ideas. 2.If you are a critical thinker, you will ________. A．think deeply about different ideas B．trust the reports in the newspapers C．take one view against another view D．criticize other people for their mistakes 3.In the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that ________. A．the smarter you are, the faster you do things B．the faster you do things, the smarter you become C．speed can improve intelligence D．intelligence is not decided by speed 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A．Thinking and Critical Thinking. B．Understanding Critical Thinking. C．Thinking Is Natural and Human. D．Thinking Fast Means Intelligence.
The following conversation is between Susan Russell-Robinson from the US Geological （地质学的）Survey and Barbara Reynolds from USA Today . Q: Why , after 600 years of no activity , did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt（喷发）in 1991 ? A: Volcanoes （火山）each have their own eruption styles . This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years , but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year , and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years . Q: So nothing caused it ? A: There’s nothing out of the ordinary . If you were to take an ordinary calendar year , 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year . There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest . That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that . Q: What is “the ring of fire” ? A: If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world , there are somewhere between 500 and 600 of them . There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean . It makes a ring where 60% of the world’s volcanoes lie . Q: Why such a concentration（集中）there ? A: That’s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces . When continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma（熔岩）at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring . 1.What kind of writing do you think this passage is ? A．A text taken from a geography book . B．An interview published in the press . C．A conversation carried out in a film . D．An oral test recorded as an example . 2.Which of the following statements can correctly explain why we have so many volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean ? A．The movement of the surface of the earth makes it possible. B．The Pacific Ocean produces magma and presses it everywhere. C．The oceans and the continents are separated from each other. D．The earth’s surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part. 3.Barbara Reynolds’ main purpose here is . A．to show how dangerous volcanoes are to the world B．to learn what signs a volcano gives us before its eruption C．to warn the world of the existence of “the ring of fire” D．to introduce some general idea of volcanoes to the public 4.Which of the following can be considered as the best conclusion of the conversation? A．There are so many volcanoes in the world and we are always in danger. B．Volcanoes have erupted more frequently than ever before. C．Volcanoes are waiting to be better known. D．Something must be done to protect the people near the ring of fire.
Dog Translation Products Coming to U. S. A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget——under the name of Bowlingual——in U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer. Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan. "We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product," the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta. Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six emotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire——and shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state. Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists. One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反复无常) , " the marketing manager said. 1.This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________. A. was invented in Japan B. has developed quickly C. will be sold in America D. sells well for its price 2.The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________. A. markets B. products C. plans D. cats 3.When was this passage most probably published? A. In the winter of 2002. B. In the spring of 2003. C. In the summer of 2002. D. In the autumn of 2003. 4.From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product. A. proud of B. satisfied with C. confident of D. worried about

A study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引语）from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto.
