The Nesel Pack is a backpack specifically designed for 6-to 12-year-old students with Inspir

29、ed by existing sensory tools like weighted blankets, the Nesel Pack features pouches(小袋 子)for weights, specially designed straps (带子）that feel like a hug (these are lined with soft material on the inside, so they wont feel rough against users skint), a security strap in the front of the bag in case

30、the user is entering a danderous situation and the parent would like more control,specially designed hip (髋部）belt which adds a sense of security for the wearer and a very strong base. The Nesel Pack is. the brainchild of a group of University of Minnesota students, led by senior Martha Pietruszewski

31、. We had hundreds of meetings with parents, doctors, teachers, and leaders in the autism community to learn what exactly we could do to most benefit the students, she wrote on the Kickstarter page. “Think about walking through the hallways at school, or maybe going to 导 busy airport, ” she added. ”

32、For some, these are normal things. For students with autism, the amount of sensoiy input can be overwhelming and stressfiol.” Thus, the university students created the Nesel Packto provide a comfortable and durable (持久的）solution to those in need.M Theyve nearly reached their fundraising goal of $10,

33、000, which will allow them to finalize the design and put in their first production order. As of now, one Nesel Pack backpack costs $115, which Pietruszewski says is a reflection of its incredible durability, though she added that they aim to reduce the price in the future. Theyve also partnered wit

34、h Fraser-a leading orovider of autism-related services in Minnesota-which will facilitate Nesel Pack donations to kids which is in need. Pietruszewski said, “With your help, we want to get these bags into the hands of as many students as possible.”56. What is the main function of the strap in the fr

35、ont of the bag?A. To make the bag heavierB. To make the bag strongerC. To better ensure the users security,D. To give the user a sense of security57. What do the bags creators need now?A. A business partner.B. Professional designers adviceC. More donations to produce the bagD. A qualified factory to

36、 make the bagB So far, apes and rats are the only known animals that get the giggles (咯咯笑声）.Koko,the western lowland gorilla femous for her facility (能力)with sign language, thinly that me being clumsy is funny, and will make laughing noises, says Penny Patterson, president of the California-based Go

37、rilla Foundation-. The great ape also has a special ho ho laugh for visitors she especially likes, Patterson says. In 2009 Marina Davila Ross, a psychologist at the U.K.* s University of Portsmouth,conducted experiments in which she tickled (挠痒)young primates (灵长目动物） such as orangutans, gorillas, an

38、d chimpanzees. The apes responded by laughing-technically called” tickle-induced vocalizations.” Ross, who studies the evolution of laughter, suggests we inherited our own ability to laugh from humans and great apes last common ancestor, which lived 10 to 16 million years ago. Now her latest study,

39、published this week in PLOS ONE, goes a step further,showing that chimpanzees display laugh faces smiling, with teeth bared with or without actual laughter. ” This indicates that chimpanzees can communicate in more ejqrficit and thus versatile ways than we thought, she says. Its similar to how peopl

40、e may smile silently, while talking, or while laughing each of which conveys a separate emotion. Rats have also gotten the tickle treatment. Jaak Panskepp, a psychologist and neuroscientist at Washington State University in Pullman, has found that tickled rats make happy noises. When scientists tick

41、led the rats, they made the same sounds that they use during play, according to a study published in 2000. The noises are above the range of human hearing. Some of the lab rats liked being tickled so much and they followed die hand that tickled them. Ongoing research shows that rats communicate with

42、 a variety of emotions, including a sound that may be similar to laughter. Since then, Panskepp and his colleagues have shown studying play is serious business for instance, he has found that brain circuits responsible for laughter in rats can be used to study human emotions. He has also identified

43、seven basic emotional systems housed in the same areas of mammal (哺乳动物)brains. His research has even helped treat depression in people. One antidepressant (抗抑郁剂）in clinical trials, called GLYX-13, has its roots in the study of rat laughter. ” Its an example of what can be achieved by taking the emot

44、ional feelings of animals seriously as targets for psychiatric medicinal development, he says. We think of rats and apes as smart, but intdligence isnt a requirement for laughter, Panksepp adds Maybe one should look at it the other way around, since its possible that play in any species can increase

45、 social intelligence,M he says. So identifying other animals that laugh, he says, may be a matter of listening to the sounds they make while having fun. Who knows? One day we may discover an actual silly goose.58. What can we learn from Rosss latest study?A. Koko makes a special sound if she is frig

46、htened.B. Chimpanzees can laugh with and without producing sound.C. Chimpanzees are more intelligent than other primates.D. Young primates are more sensitive to tickles than old ones.59. Why do Panskepp and his colleagues consider studying rat play important?A. Because it provides inspiration for th

47、e research of human emotions.B. Because it gives a clue to the study of rat sounds.C. Because it helps them learn more about sign language.D. Because it helps them identify human emotional systems.60. The study of rat laughter helps scientists.A. treat patients who suffer from depressionB. get some

48、new ideas on the human brainC. understand animals facial expressionsD. study the evolution of mammals61.What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Apes laugh more than rats. B. Silly geese cannot laugh.C. Play can lead to laughter. D. Laughing is related to a high IQ. C Remittance (汇款）increase livi

49、ng standards in the country of origin. Remittances m a large share of the GDP of many developing countries. A study on remittances to Mexico found that remittances lead to a considerable increase in the availability of public services in Mexico, surpassing government spending in some localities. Res

50、earch finds that emigration and low migration barriers have net positive effects on human capital formation in the sending countries. This means that there is a brain gain instead of a” brain drain to emigration. One study finds that sending Countries benefit indirectly in the long run from the emig

51、ration of skilled workers because those skilled workers are able to innovate more in developed countries,which the sending countries are able to benefit as a positive externality. Greater emigration of skilled workers consequently leads to greater economic growth and welfare improvements in the long

52、 run. Research also suggests that emigration, remittances and return migration can have a positive impact on political institutions and democratization in the country of origin. Research also shows that remittances can lower the risk of civil war in the country of origin. Return migration from count

53、ries with liberal gender norms has been associated with the transfer of liberal gender noons to the home country. Research suggests that emigration causes an increase in the wages of those who remain in the country of origin. A 2014 survey of the existing literature on migration finds that a 10 perc

54、ent emigrant supply shock would increase wages in the sending country by 2 % 5.5 %. A study of emigration from Poland shows that it led to a slight increase in wages for high-and medium-skilled workers for remaining Poles. A 2013 study finds that emigration from Eastern Europe after the 2004 EU enla

55、rgement increased the wages of remaining young workers in the country of origin by 6%, while it had no effect on the wages of old workers. The wages of Lithuanian men increased as a result of post-EU enlargement emigration. Return migration is associated with greater household firm revenues (收入）. So

56、me research shows that the remittance effect is not strong enough to make the remaining natives in countries with high emigration flows better off. It has been argued that high-skill emigration causes labor shortages in the country of origin. This remains unsupported in the academic literature thoug

57、h. According to economist Michael Clemens, it has not been shown that restrictions on high-skill emigration reduce shortages in the countries of origin.62. This passage mainly tells us that .A.peoples living standards in the receiving countries have been greatly improved B.emigration has both advant

58、ages and disadvantages to the sending countriesC. the reasons behind economic growth in the sending countriesD. the effect of migration on the sending countries63. From the first three paragraphs, we know that . A. the emigration bf skilled workers brings economic growth to developed countriesB. emi

59、gration means a kind of ” brain gain rather than “ brain drain”C. the government in Mexico should spend more on public servicesD. highly qualified workers are bound to return to their home country64. The examples in Paragraph 5 show that .A. return migration makes the natives better offB.a wage incr

60、ease is associated with economic growthC. enlargement brings welfare to all EuropeansD. emigration leads to a salary increase for remaining natives65. According to the passage, what can we know about the country of origin?A.The negative effects of high-skill emigration have shown up.B. Remittances h

61、ave 狂 good effect on maintaining social stability,C. High migration barriers can reduce shortages of skilled workers.D.High-skill emigration may cause economic fall within a short time.D This year arrives amid a few interesting trends. More Americans are interested in local and sustainable foods: ur

62、ban farming, chicken-raising. And more Americans are hunting, spending increasing time and money on that pursuit, Viewed from the right angle, though, both these trends could have a place at the holiday table. What would happen if more Americans made Thursdays (Thanksgiving Day) meal out of wild tur

63、keys? What if more people enjoyed a wild Christmas goose, or wild pig ham? If more did, the results might be better for the environment, for our healthand perhaps for our souls as well. Americans growing interest in local food is evident everywhere. According to the US Department of Agriculture, the

64、 number of farmers markets rose from 1,755 in 1994 to 8,144 this year. Cities from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Gainesville Florida, have eased restrictions on backyard chickens，Some “locavores” are content to get community-supported agricultural produce delivered, and buy grass-fed beef. But for a growi

65、ng number, hunting is the next step. The meat is local and avoids the ethical complications of factory farms. Hunting has definitely enjoyed a resurgence. Census statistics show that the percentage of Americans who hunt which had been falling for decades-is back up at a 20-year high.Hank Shaw, autho

66、r of the new wild bird cookbook Duck, Duck, Goose, and owner of the James Beard Award-winning website Hunter Angler Gardener Cook, calls it The Omnivores Dilemma effect. After reading Michael Pollans best-selling book on where food comes frori many people join a community-supported agriculture group

67、, but some get a hunting license, too. “I cant tell you how many people I talk to who view hunting as a part of a larger, personal goal of sustainable eating,” Shaw says. Of course, characterizing hunting this way blurs many lines. To some, shooting animals cannot possibly be an environmentally frie

68、ndly activity. The existence of “hipster hunters” is also limited by cultural attitudes toward guns. Its almost impossible to legally own a hunting weapon in Brooklyn. But hunting wild animals requires the preservation of wild land certainly an environmental plus 一 and if youre going to eat meat, hu

69、nting has a lot going for it that industrial farms do not The animal lived a free and natural life, up to its last day. Add to this the fact that some game populations have grown unnaturally large due to the lack of predators(食肉动物).The East Coast is filled with white-tailed deer. Geese take up resid

70、ence on golf courses, and wild pigs wander through the woods. In his 2012 book Nature Wars journalist Jim Sterba argued that more humans live in closer contact with wild animals than at my point in history. Hunting can keep a check on that. Hunting can keep a check on our appetites too, Susan Camero

71、n Devitt, a biologist who recently moved from Florida to Texas, notes that one of the things you learn quickly from hunting is how much labor goes into producing a meal. ” If you buy meat at the grocery store, you can eat three servings a day, but if you imagine trying to keep that up with hunting,

72、it just wouldnt be possible,” she says. Which brings us back to holiday tables? In the original version of Thanksgiving and Christmas, these were special meals, based around dishes you wouldnt eat frequently. These days, you can buy turkey whenever. A wild turkey, caught and then cooked, is a differ

73、ent matter. A speckle-belly goose elevates the Christmas dinner in a way a regular supermarket ham does not. When you know where your food comes from, when youve labored to bring it to your table, you more naturally feel grateful for the amazing abundance of this planet.”Theres no better way to enga

74、ge with nature than to seek dinner within it.”says Shaw.66. What can we learn about the trends?A. Few people regard hunting as a part of a personal goal of sustainable eating.B. Hunting in the USA is consistent with the cultural attitude to guns.C.The media play a part in promoting the popularity of

75、 hunting.D.Hunting is likely to replace industrial farms67. The underlined phrase “game populations” in paragraph 8 refers to .A. the number of huntersB. the number of wild animals and birdsC. animals and birds caught through huntingD. campaigns to ban the hunting of wild animals and birds68. The un

76、derlined part in Paragraph 9 implies .A. some hunters do not have the desire to eat meat from industrial farmsB. hunting provides hunters with three servings a dayC. some hunters do not have a healthy appetiteD. hunting helps hunters control their appetite69. What can we infer from the last but one

77、paragraph?A. In the past, people ate turkeys only on Thanksgiving Day.B. Supermarket turkeys will not be accepted by people any more.C. Wild turkeys are more delicious than those bought from grocery stores.D. Wild turkeys help bring back the festive atmosphere of Thanksgiving Day.70. According to th

78、e last paragraph,hunting is beneficial for .A. our mental healthB.our physical fitnessC.the environment D.farmers markets第四部分 任务型阅读（10分） 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最恰当的单词，每空格1词（共10个小题，每小题1分，满分10分） Empathy is our inherent ability to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within th

79、e other persons frame of reference. It allows us to connect with others who seem different, making us more aware of the things we have in common. When we tune in to cmpathize with others, we are more likely to act with sympathy to help reduce their suffering. And, when we increase our caring for the

80、 environment, we are more likely to make choices that help preserve it for future generations. Although empathy is a vital element of our nature, research suggests that empathy can be taught, and that contact with people who are different from us in a safe, empathic way is the first step toward redu

81、cing prejudice. This is where museums have a role to play. Museums are safe and informal learning platforms, uniquely equipped to encourage visitors to imagine, explore, and experience rich human heritage and the natural world firsthand. They have the capability to bring together arts, technology, s

82、ciences, and literature to show how all living things are linked to each other. Museums inspire empathy in us in a number of ways. Through their social and educational mission (使命），museums can provide a safe space for experiencing our collective behavior, knowledge, complex histories, and values. By

83、 putting people in closeness to other peoples experiences, their cultures and stories, museums can help us awaken to different realities and multiple perspectives (视角）that exist around us. Personal and diverse encounters (意外的相遇） with people from other cultures and their ideas, stories, and artifacts

84、 create opportunities for authentic dialogue with“the other”： someone who is different from us, but shares our world. Also museums often present the stories of people and places far away. Telling stories from the point of view of the people and cultures featured can also increase our sense of shared

85、 humanity, as we see how others face fears, biases, and challenges similar to our own. More importantly, museums encourage contemplation (沉思）of our world by providing a space where we can slow down and be with what is before us. Unlike many everyday settings where the goal is clear, people explore i

86、n museums on their own schedule, moving from exhibit to exhibit as they see fit, following their own internal guidelines. This naturally allows for a more reflective experience. Through this reflection, visitors can acquire a deeper understanding of the viewpoints of others and recognize their own connection to all of humanity and the planet.第五部分 书面表达（25分） 请认真阅读下面的短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。【写作内容】1.用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容；2.结合上述信息，简要分析导致性别收入差距的原因；3.根据你的分析，从女性自身要求、企业规范及政府三方面谈谈如何缩小性别收入差距。【写作要求】1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2.不必写标题。
