四、任務型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
One problem with much personality research is that it examines and rates whatever traits the researchers are interested in at the time: conscientiousness, emotional stability and so on. But when we describe someone in real life, we dont consider an array (大量) of personality measures; instead, we focus on a few distinctive traits that sum up the essence of the person. One is particularly anxious, another is consistently reliable, yet another is a “live wire”. While we might hesitate to characterize individuals along every personality dimension, we can accurately identify them by their key characteristics.
In research at Stanford University, Daryl Ben and Andrea Allen tested this idea by first asking college students if they were consistently or only occasionally friendly and then asking their parents and friends how friendly the students were. Ben and Allen observed how the students acted under two specific conditions: how much they spoke among a few people and how quickly they started up a conversation with strangers. The researchers found that students who considered themselves consistently friendly were indeed more likely to be friendly in both circumstances than were those who rated themselves only occasionally friendly. Beyond that, the friendliness ratings by parents and peers of the students who were consistently friendly were very similar to the students selfratings and predicted accurately how they would act in two conditions. It seems that we can judge ourselves accurately and that others can rate us very well on traits that serve as our trademarks.
To predict how someone will behave in a given situation, we must match requirements in the situation with the trademark characteristics of the person involved. People who are strongly of one type or another should react predictably in a given situation, while the behavior of the other more diffuse (分散的) personalities is hard to anticipate. Ben and David formalized this approach in their ‘ideal matching strategy.
The two psychologists suggest that certain ‘ideal approaches to life can be described and used to predict behavior under certain circumstances. If we then measure how close to this ‘ideal type any actual person is, we should be able to anticipate the likelihood that this person will behave in a certain way. For example, people adopt very different strategies in a game called The Prisoners Dilemma, which is often used in psychological experiments. In it, participants must choose to be cooperative or competitive. Bern and Charles Lord of Princeton University found that students playing styles could be accurately predicted from roommates assessments of them. Those rated as most negative and unhelpful in life usually employed a competitive strategy rather than a cooperative one.

请阅读下面有关公共图书馆的文字及相关图表,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Libraries have always been at the heart of the communities they serve. They are accessible and safe spaces, providing access to huge resources of information and knowledge. Libraries have played an important role in helping generations of immigrants, young people, job seekers and readers to learn, stay connected and get ahead in life. Offering access to books, newspapers and, later, computers, they opened up a world of knowledge and ideas for millions of people. The public library transcends national and cultural boundaries—no matter where you are in the world, they are an essential part of creating and maintaining an educated and literate population.
But today, public libraries are at a turning point. The way we access and consume information has changed dramatically in the 21st century, and this presents major challenges and opportunities for public library systems across the world.
The advent of new technologies has changed some of our reading habits. But our need for shared, communitycentred spaces to find information and connect with others is unlikely to change any time soon.

五、One possible version:
Though challenged by the development of new technologies and ebooks, public libraries still play an important role in our life and appeal to increasing numbers of people, especially the young.
There are several reasons accounting for public libraries surviving the wave of digitization. To begin with, they are open to all, providing free access to the latest resources and technologies. Whats more, one of the drawbacks of the digital materials is that theyre not always trustworthy while public libraries can offer a large collection of reliable reference books. These practical functions aside, we still need the physical space, where we can fully concentrate on our study without easily getting distracted.
To better develop public libraries, the government should first give more financial support. Meanwhile, the facilities of the libraries are expected to be updated accordingly and the employees should be professional. Only in this way can libraries meet the needs of various age groups. (153 words)
