阅读理解 If anyone is qualified to unify the seemingly disparate subjects of financial markets and neurology, it's John Coates, a senior research fellow in neuroscience and finance at the University of Cambridge. The Hour Between Dog and Wolf is a powerful distillation of his work and an important step in the ongoing struggle to free economics from rational-actor theory.

A、 gut feeling plays an important role in decision making
B、 financial activities are mainly driven by irrationality.
C、 investors are apt to take risky actions during recessions
D、 investors tend to be rational profit-maximizers

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】细节题。第二段详细介绍了高德斯的观点：在经济繁荣与萧条期， “非理性”主导人们的行为，投资者在泡沫经济时期将所有金融信息都视作乐观的；在经济严重衰退期、饱受坏消息和贸易灾难打击时，则会缩进“壳里”怯于行动。可见，高德斯认为投资者的直觉、情感会影响其决策，故A项正确。

单选题 17.The solution to a crisis is____, according to the traditional economic theory.

A、 to direct investors' attention to aspects other than benefits
B、 to guide the public to quit irrational behavior
C、 to cut interest rates to stimulate expenses
D、 to teach investors to adjust their body processes

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】细节题。第三段指出，传统经济理论认为，避免或对抗金融灾难的武器是“货币政策”，当经济泡沫或经济崩溃发生时，解决之道是“通过改变利率来生成新的价格，从而影响投资者的行为”，C项是对该内容的合理引申。故正确答案为C项。

A、 irrationality is the source of economic bubbles
B、 prior successes may stimulate irrational economic behavior
C、 the fight-or-flight system of traders is rationality-dominated
D、 irrationality may put the market at risk

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】推断题。第三段首句指出，高德斯认为，投资家陷入非理性兴奋亦或消极状态都会置市场于危险中。从文中可推知，传统理性行为理论认为，市场之所以能够正常运行是因为有追求利益最大化的理性主体存在，潜在含义是非理性不利于市场运行。因此，二者都认同非理性可能会置市场于风险中，故D项正确。

单选题 19.In the author's opinion, the value of The Hour Between Dog and Wolf Is that____.

A、 its contents are mostly original
B、 it regards traders as full-blown human beings
C、 it's comprehensible to a broad audience
D、 it combines neurology with human decision making

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】细节题。第五段末句强调本书引人注目之处在于它在反理性行为理论的诸多作品中所占有的重要地位。由前四段内容可知，高德斯观点和传统理性行为理论最大的区别在于：前者将投资者看作是和常人无异的“理智和情感的共同体”，后者将其看作“追求利益最大化的纯理性者”，故B项正确。

A、 We are big brains perched on bodies that do our mind's bidding.
B、 People behave as if they calculate the rewards of each course of action.
C、 Correct decisions will logically follow reasonable deduction.
D、 The way we are built may affect the way we think.

【正确答案】 D
