2、Questions are based on the following passage．
    Most people would agree that，although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge，there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom．But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define“wisdom”and consider means of promoting it．
    There are several factors that contribute to wisdom．Of these I should put first a sense of proportion：the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight．This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians．Suppose，for example，that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine．The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind．You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine．You succeed(let us say)as modem medicine has succeeded，in enormously lowering the infant death—rate，not only in Europe and America，but also in Asia and Africa．This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations．To take an even more dramatic example，which is in everybody’s mind at the present time：you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested(无利害关系的)desire for knowledge，and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race．
    Therefore，with every increase of knowledge and skill，wisdom becomes more necessary,for every such increase augments(增强)our capacity for realizing our purposes，and therefore augments our capacity for evil，if our purposes are unwise．
Disagreement arises when people try to decide
A．how much more wisdom we have now than before
B．what wisdom is and how to develop it，
C．if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age
D．whether wisdom can be developed or not

Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
Living in a time when an ever-increasing number of news providers push a constant stream of headlines at us every day, people cannot say they do not feel overwhelmed.
But what of it's the ways we choose to read the news that make us feel overwhelmed? An interesting new study conducted by Avery Holton and Iris Chyi from the University of Texas looks at the factors that contribute to the concept of information overload.
They surveyed more than 750 adults on their digital consumption habits and perceptions of information overload. What the findings suggest, Holton said, is that the news platforms a person is using can play a bigger role in making him feel overwhelmed than the sheer number of news sources being consumed. So even if you read The Huffington Post and The New York Times in a day, you may not feel as drowned with news ff you read on your phone instead of on your desktop. The more contained, or even constrained, aplat form feels, the more it can contribute to people feeling less overwhelmed, Holton said.
That may also explain why people have feelings of being overwhelmed by Facebook, which like reading on the web, can be a bottomless hole of stories, videos, and endless links. But it doesn't explain why people in the survey had different feelings towards Twitter, which can also be a stream of links.
One possible explanation is whether you define yourself" as a news fan. The survey asked people to report. how much they enjoyed keeping up with the new——people who said they did had less of a perception of information overload. If you're the type of person who wants to follow news during the day, it's likely you have an established routine and a set of sites you check regularly. You also may not need as much context around the news. All of that would make Twitter a good source for you.
Conversely, if you're more passive about following the news, you might need to make more , of an effort to find the right sources or find background or contextual information, which could lead to feelings of being overloaded, Holton said. "Knowing what you're looking for can decrease overload or perceptions of overload. So can constant engagement," he said.

The new study conducted by Avery Holton and Iris Chyi
A．examines how news providers take advantage of headlines
B．studies what can lead to the concept of information overload
C．discusses solutions for people who feel overwhelmed
D．reviews different attitudes to the digital consumption
