21、In 1998, people in Na Doi, a quiet village in northwest Thailand, noticed that their fish catches in the nearby Ngao River were declining. The fish they did manage to net were also getting smaller. Together, Na Doi’s 75 households decided to try a new solution: they would set aside a small stretch of river to be strictly off-limits to fishing.

The rules are usually simple: no fishing of any kind in an agreed-upon area marked by flags or signs. While freshwater reserves won’t solve everything, in places where fish populations are under pressure, they can give species much-needed breathing room to rebuild their numbers, ultimately making them better able to weather other environmental problems.

Na Doi was the second village in the Ngao River valley to adopt this pioneering approach to freshwater fisheries management. Since the late 1990s, at least 50 other villages there have done the same. As a whole, the entirely grassroots-led reserves have been surprisingly successful, according to findings recently published in Nature. Most importantly, the Thailand case provides probably the best real-world proof that fisheries reserves can benefit not just oceans, but freshwater, too

In 2012. Aaron Koning, then a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin, began investigating the Ngao River valley reserves to see how widespread and successful they truly were. Koning found, not surprisingly, that older and bigger reserves were more successful, because they offered more time and space—including more kinds of habitat—in which to rebuild fish populations and re-establish rare species. But even reserves established in the last couple of years showed clear benefits from being spared intense fishing pressure. “Reserves that were located closer to a village tended to have an advantage,” Koning says, “probably because villagers were better able to enforce the rules.”

By comparing different systems and approaches around the world, Koning and his colleagues hope to identify common factors for success that could be tailored to diverse rivers and lakes.

【1】What drove Na Doi to create freshwater reserves?

A．The declining of the freshwater.

B．The success of the nearby villages.

C．The increasing fish populations.

D．The worsening of the fishing conditions.

【2】What does the success of Thailand freshwater reserves suggest?

A．Fisheries reserves are helpful in freshwater.

B．Thailand is a pioneer in fisheries management.

C．The Thailand approach has been applied worldwide.

D．Many fish species need to rebuild their numbers,

【3】Aaron Koning found reserves that________ were more successful.

A．had better rules

B．were bigger and older

C．had more fish populations

D．were created more recently

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Grassroots-led Reserves Inspire the Worlds

B．Fisheries Reserves Benefit Thailand Rivers

C．Investigate the Ngao River Valley Reserves

D．Na Doi Is Leading Thailand to a Better Future

22、For teenagers, it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.

◆Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.

◆ Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass , a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies .Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

◆See if your school or a club organizes orienteering（越野识途比赛）activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills. In some way, it’s not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.

【1】When you sit beside the driver, you’d better________.

A. look ahead to see where there is a gas station

B. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

C. keep looking at the map to find another place to go to

D. direct the driver when necessary

【2】In the exploration, why do you need wait for the slower friends?

A. To share the fun with him/her in exploration

B. To tell him/her what’s going on with group members.

C. To avoid yourself or your friends getting lost

D. To show them how fast you can go

【3】What does the whole passage talk about?

A. the fun of exploration

B. how to prevent people getting lost in exploration

C. what to bring for exploration

D. the way to use a map in exploration

23、I got this strange idea in my eight grade: to run for the president of the student Union. It is not a surprising decision for most outgoing, popular people. But I was neither. In fact I tended to daydream, read books that were not on the required list, and sit at the far corner of the cafeteria with the only two friends I had, Denise and Janice.

However, Claire, my enemy, motivated me to sign up to run against her. Denise decided we should form a group of advisors to get me elected. We met every day, right after school,reviewing every student. We tried to figure out why our schoolmates might want to vote, in their own interests for me or(more likely) against Claire.

We created cascades, a term we learned from Denise’s sister. In other words, we looked for students who were most likely to influence a group of other students. Those are the people that one of us approached first. My narrow victory was a surprise to many including, frankly, the three of us.

That’s how I got my first taste of the power of the so-called Collective Intelligence and it turned out to be the best method of succeeding in various work.

When a group commits to supporting each other by meeting regularly and obeying the negotiated rules, remarkable things happen. We tend to bring to bring the the the best out other, as thousands have learned around the world. When individuals become tight-knit teams, we become happier and higher-performing with and for each other. It is never too late for us to start our own advising group of no more than seven members around a strong sweet spot of common interest—which will help us achieve something different and more meaningful over the years.

24、   Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was one of motor racing's most influential engineers. He summed up his philosophy as "simplify, then add lightness". A simple, featherweight car might be slower on the straights than a beefy muscle-machine, he reasoned. But it would be faster everywhere else. Between 1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula One constructors championships.

It appears to be an uncommon insight since humans always struggle with subtractive thinking. When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest adding new things rather than removing some, even when additions lead to not satisfying results. In one study conducted by Gabrielle Adams, along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, participants were asked to change a pattern on a grid(网格)of coloured squares to make it balanced. Although that could be done equally well by adding new squares or by deleting existing ones,78% chose the additive option.

But why people forget that less is often more? One experiment asked participants to redesign an unbalanced Lego structure so that it could support a house-brick. Participants could earn a dollar for fixing the problem, but each piece of Lego they added cut that reward by ten cents. Even then, only 41% worked out that simplifying the structure by removing a single block,rather than complicating it by adding more, was the way to maximise the payout. Practice improved people's chances of spotting subtractive solutions, suggesting that many were simply not thinking of the possibility, at least at first.

What all this amounts to is evidence for " additive thinking" entering the list of" cognitive biases"(认知偏差).The 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded for demonstrating that humans are not thinking logically as economists do. Instead of thinking a problem through and coming up with an ideal solution, they tend to use cognitive shortcuts that are fast and—mostly—"good enough".

【1】Why is Chapman's case mentioned in paragraph 1 ?

A．To prove his philosophy.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To support the argument.

D．To provide an example.

【2】What were the participants asked to do in Adams's study?

A．To balance a pattern.

B．To plus new squares.

C．To delete original squares.

D．To change a pattern's colour.

【3】What can we know about subtractive thinking from paragraph 3?

A．It can make things more complex.

B．It is a shortcut to gaining a fortune.

C．It can be facilitated through practice.

D．It is a common way to tackle problems.

【4】What does the author try to convey through the text?

A．Less is often more.

B．Think less and act more.

C．Additive thinking is a shortcut.

D．Economists think more logically.
