1、2019屆高考英語(yǔ)一輪復(fù)習(xí)自選訓(xùn)練 閱讀理解20 For years, there has been a bias（偏見(jiàn)）against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psy

2、chologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of ColumbiaUniversi

3、ty is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.” The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological re

4、search has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with m

5、ultiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs. You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them. Why in the wor

6、ld not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “l(fā)ack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they ar

7、e the result of the treatment.” When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2019 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagu

8、es’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.” 16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _____ A. th

9、ey are unfamiliar with their patients B. they believe in science and evidence C. they depend on their colleagues’ help D. they rely on their personal experiences 17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _____. A. the cruel judgment by Walter Mischel B. the fact

10、that most patients get better after being treated C. the great progress that has been made in psychological research D. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments 18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by s

11、cience? A. They feel embarrassed. B. They try to defend themselves. C. They are disappointed. D. They doubt their treatments. 19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______. A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is made B. develop faster with the support of insur

To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology. 參考答案 16—20 DCBAA ***************************************************結(jié)束 閱讀下列材料，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B

14、、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 A How often do you travel by plane? How much electricity do you use? These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint. In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. But how much CO2 are we responsible for? A new book by Mik

15、e Berners Lee (a leading expert in carbon footprint) might be able to help. How Bad are Bananas? The Carbon Footprint of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following created: the ingredients, the electricity used in the brewery, the eq

16、uipment, the travel and commuting of the beer, and the packaging. It’s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation. And it’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces. But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners-Lee’s calculations

17、, it’s clear that a pint (568ml) of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300g of CO2, but the imported beer produces 900g! So,

18、one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager from the supermarket. Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what you’ve had to eat

19、before. To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food. So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need packaging, they can be tr

20、ansported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight. So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not, for a start, if you cycle, you don’t use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jams. And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars

21、 traveling at speed. Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital. And hospitals have very big carbon footprints! So maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please. 1. According to Berners-Lee, which of the following

22、 produces the most carbon dioxide？ A. A pint of imported beer we drink. B. A pint of local beer we drink. C. The bacon we eat before a bike ride. D. A banana we eat before a bike ride. 2. Why are bananas good in general? A. They don’t need packaging. B. They provide ene

27、rosoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.” Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their custo

Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats
