Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four word s or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Our modern working lives are ruled by the concept of competence(能力). The idea that lies behind competence is quite simple: that one can state what people should do in behavioral terms, and then _____41____ whether a person has succeeded in meeting that task or not. We rarely have a second thought about whether the idea of measuring and achieving competence is a good one or not. _____42____ , it is a debatable one.
Humans do not learn or work in ways that can be measured by the _____43____ of competence.
Take the example of a barista who is being trained to make coffee. The job title of “barista” ____44_____ a degree of skill in making coffee. However, baristas in large coffee chains are usually trained through_____45____ qualifications. One part of these qualifications is to produce a cup of coffee to meet a(n) ____46_____ standard. It might have to achieve a certain taste and appearance. This might seem perfectly reasonable, but there are two reasons why such an approach to training baristas does not____47_____.
First, the production of a cup of coffee to a certain standard is a binary(二次元的) ____48____ . The baristas can either produce a coffee of a certain standard or they cannot. If they happen to produce the best cup of coffee in the world, it does not matter, as competence-based training does not reward outstanding performance. _____49____, producing the worst cup of coffee would be a fail in the same w ay as producing a cup just below the standard. In fact, competence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at all----only the final binary outcome.
Second, if the barista does produce a coffee to a certain______50___ , competence is not interested in why the barista can do that. But humans are not machines that _____51____ produce binary outcomes. We have bodies and minds which ____52_____ through learning.
Yet we are increasingly forced to ____53_____ competence in our schools and workplace. We
are not empty machines that simply produce binary outcomes. If w e w ant to be true human in
our learning and our workplace, we need to be _____54____ and special. Learning and innovation involve failure in aiming for something that is unusually good. Such things simply cannot be _____55____ by the standard of competence w here the mediocre(平凡的) is the gold standard.

(A)
William Herschel was born on November 15 th, 1738 in Hanover in a family of musicians. In 1757, he fled to England and began earning a living as an organist and later composer and conductor. In 1772, he convinced his sister Caroline to join him as a singer. In their spare time the brother-sister team became occupied in astronomy. William died at his home in Slough, near Windsor on August 25th, 1822, and Caroline on September 1st, 1848.
Herschel's first major discoveries were to show that Mars and Jupiter exhibit axial rotation (绕轴自转).Herschel struck fame in1781, when on March13th, he discovered the planet Uranus(天王星）while engaged in work aimed at determining stellar parallax(恒星视差).This being the first new planet discovered since ancient times, Herschel, until then a mere amateur astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, asking George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King5s Astronomer" and "Assistant to the king's Astronomer", an honor which came with a life's pension for both. In 1782 they moved to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschel went on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.
While Caroline became increasingly occupied with the search for comets at which she was quite successful. William became for a time interested in the Sun. Inspired by Wilson5s 1774 work, he put forth the theory of sunspot, an opinion that continued to exist well into the nineteenth century. In 1800, he became interested in the solar spectrum (太谱)，and uncovered the first evidence for solar energy output outside of the visible spectrum, in what is now known as the infrared (红外线).In 1801, he published two papers that effectively started the field of solar influences on Earth’s weather.
56. Herschel made himself known to the world mainly by _____________.
A. discovering the planet Uranus
B. determining stellar parallax
C. discovering two moons of Uranus
D. uncovering the evidence for the infrared
57. It can be inferred from the passage that George III____________.
A. liked science and technology
B. liked Herschel's naming of the new planet
C. was interested in astronomy
D. gave Herschel a lot of useful suggestions
58. What do we know about Caroline from the passage?
A. She was successful in music.
B. She was titled "The king's Astronomer
C. She died later than her brother.
D. She published two papers
59. This passage mainly tells readers____________
A. some information about Herschel and his sister
B. how Herschel and his sister discovered the planet Uranus
C. Herschel and Caroline got along well with each other
D. Herschel and Caroline's major scientific publications
