41、對(duì)著筆記本電腦的網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭焦急地微笑，回答問題，時(shí)間一分一秒地過去，根本沒有人與他們互動(dòng)。)”可知文章說明的是，現(xiàn)下人們通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)進(jìn)行面試，面試者往往在這個(gè)過程中感到焦慮不安，并且沒有進(jìn)行有效的面試互動(dòng)，對(duì)雇主來說也是容易遭受損失的一種面試方式，所以文章主要內(nèi)容是關(guān)于AVIs對(duì)招聘的負(fù)面影響。故選A。CFor generations, the standard way to learn how to ride a bicycle was with training wheels or a tricycle (三輪腳踏車).But in recent years, many parents hav

Given the benefits of balance bikes, why did it take so long for them to replace tr

43、aining wheels?Leidy Klotz, an engineer at the University of Virginia, noticed that there are many similar phenomena in life, in which removing elements from existing models is uncommon. So he reached out to Gabrielle Adams, a social psychologist at the university, to try to figure out why this was t

44、he case. The two researchers thought that there might be a psychological explanation: when faced with a problem, people tend to select solutions that involve adding new elements rather than taking existing components away.Adams, Klotz and their colleagues first carried out a set of observational stu

45、dies without a control group. In one, they asked 91 participants to make a pattern symmetrical (對(duì)稱的) by either adding or removing colored boxes. Only 18 people used subtraction(移除). In another, the team scanned through a collection of ideas for improvement submitted to an incoming university preside

46、nt and found that only 11% of 651 proposals involved removing an existing regulation, practice or program.Next, the team conducted a series of eight experiments with over 1,500 individuals. In one experiment, people were asked to stabilize the roof of a Lego structure held up by a single block that

47、rested atop a cube-shaped base. The reward for completing the task was $1. The researchers wrote that one group was offered a cue about potential subtractive solutions by being told, “Each piece that you add costs ten cents but removing pieces is free,” while another group was just told, “Each piece

48、 you add costs ten cents.” Almost two thirds of people in the cued group chose to remove the single block rather than adding new ones, compared with 41% of those who hadnt received the cue.The researchers also observed that when participants were asked to create a symmetrical pattern by adding or re

49、moving colored blocks, they tended to conduct removal more often if they were given practice trials than if they had just one chance to handle the problem. On the other hand, having to simultaneously (同時(shí)地) handle another tasklike keeping track of numbers on a screenmade individuals less likely to re

50、move elements to solve the same problem.These findings suggest that “additive solutions tend to come to mind quickly and easily,” says Benjamin Converse, a social psychologist at the University of Virginia and a co-author of the study. “Subtractive solutions arent necessarily harder to consider, but

51、 they take more effort to find.”9. What does the first paragraph intend to show?A. A new effective way of learning to ride a bicycle.B. The difficulty in changing the old way of learning.C. Peoples tendency to overlook subtractive solutions.D. The confusion about how people learn to ride a bicycle.1

52、0. What can we learn from the results of the observational studies?A. They needed to be further verified later.B. They confirmed the researchers assumption.C. They proved addition is more helpful than subtraction.D. They showed addition and subtraction work in the same way.11. Why did the researcher

53、s conduct the second set of experiments?A. To discover why people tend to choose additive solutions.B. To prove people prefer additive solutions to subtractive ones.C. To figure out how people would cope with their issues in life.D. To find out exactly what people think of subtractive solutions.12.

54、In what situation are people more likely to turn to subtractive solutions?A. They are loaded with much work.B. They are free to cope with the issue.C. They are given constructive advice.D. They are given more chances to try.9. C 10. B 11. A 12. D【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇說明文。文章通過介紹學(xué)騎自行車時(shí)人們往往采取加法，而不是減法這一現(xiàn)象引出話題：人們?cè)诮鉀Q問
