科目：高中英语 来源：2012年人教版高中英语选修八Unit1练习卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
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.

I thought, ‘Here’s my diamond—don’t let it 46 !’ I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new 47 !”
Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he 48 to keep his stone with him all the time as a 49 to look for “diamonds” as he digs through the 50 of life.
Richard DeVos is right when he 51 . “This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities. 52 moments wait around every corner.” Those moments are diamonds that, 53 left unrecognized, will be forever lost.

科目：高中英语 来源：2011-2012学年湖北省高三第一次质量检查英语题 题型：阅读理解
The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is very positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”
Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.
1.What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?
A. It has produced positive results.
B. It is a highly profitable industry.
C. It is based on the concept of positive thinking.
D. It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.
2. What does the word “underline” mean (Line 4, Para. 3)?
A. point out B. lay emphasis on C. pay no attention to D. take for granted
3.Which of the following is TRUE about the Canadian researchers’ study?
A. Encouraging positive thinking many do more good than harm.
B. Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one’s mood.
C. There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.
D. Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.
4.What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.
B. People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.
C. Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.
D. The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.
