33、motionC. interpersonal communication D. business managementBIn 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino on giant manta rays(蝠鲼), which explored the idea of whether these elasmobranchs(软骨鱼类) could be classed as selfaware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish sp

34、ecies, suggesting complex social interactions and are often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and DAgostino used the mirror selfrecognition test(MSR). It has been used to prove selfawareness in the great apes and Asian elephants.In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, r

35、esearchers first expose the animals to a mirror. If they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror image as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Nex

36、t, researchers usually place a mark on the animals body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is placed in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try

37、to move it. Typically, they pay much more attention to the part of their body that bears a new marking.In the study, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and h

38、ighly repetitive movements and selfdirected behaviour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selective attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as several unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing th

39、eir underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, similar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed to a mirror.Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were

40、exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to assume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a new individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.Overall, Ari and DAgostinos study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prereq

41、uisites(先决条件) for selfawareness and which have been used by other researchers to confirm selfrecognition in ape species. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical(伦理道德的) practices of current fisheries. Protection in some region

42、s does exist. Despite this, up to 1，000 giant mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every year for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.()58. Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino conducted the study to _A. explore how mantas can survive in

43、extreme conditionsB. display that mantas can interact with human beingsC. illustrate where selfrecognition test can be appliedD. prove mantas have the ability to recognize themselves()59. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The final result of Ari and DAgostinos study.B. The real purpose of

44、 Ari and DAgostinos study.C. The theoretical basis of Ari and DAgostinos study.D. The farreaching significance of Ari and DAgostinos study.()60. How did Ari and DAgostino make their findings?A. By observing mantas behaviours.B. By recording mantas colour changes.C. By collecting statistics from self

45、recognition tests.D. By comparing the differences between mantas and apes.()61. The result of Ari and DAgostinos study could lead to _A. better protection of mantasB. largerscale hunting for mantasC. tougher restriction on ethical fisheriesD. further research into other sea animalsCThe most importan

46、t determining factor of success or failureat work and in lifeis selfawareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150，000 years ago there was an explosive devel

47、opment in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as to see things from anothers point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a

48、survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.Though we may not face the same daytoday threats to our existence, selfawareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are s

49、marter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.But for most people it is easier to choose selfdelusion(自我欺瞒) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. R

50、ecent generations have grown up in a world obsessed with selfesteem(自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed(有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilitiesfrom leadership skills to achievements at school and w

51、ork. Whats scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal selfawareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And

52、external selfawareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.It would be easy to assume that someone with internal selfawareness would also be externally awarethat being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how were seen. Strangely, resea

53、rch has often shown no relationship between the two some studies have even revealed an inverse(相反的) one.For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that selfexamination can have hidden pitfalls(陷阱) that make insight actua

54、lly impossible.()62. The first three paragraphs center around _A. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestorsB. the sharp contrast between selfawareness of today and the pastC. the necessity of a shift in selfawareness to satisfy the needs todayD. the significance of selfawareness in

55、 human survival and advancement()63. Whats the problem with “me” focused society nowadays?A. Peoples performance and abilities are overlooked.B. Its difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.C. Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.D. Modern people fail to

56、 bring their special qualities into full play.()64. What does the writer stress in this passage?A. Knowing how others see us is the key to success.B. Understanding ourselves inward contributes to a better fate.C. Selfexamination helps us gain true insight into ourselves.D. Internal selfawareness and

57、 external selfawareness are closely related.DZelda DAprano was an unstoppable force, and if you didnt like it，you best got out of the way. Its through my work as a director of the Victorian Womens Trust that I got to know Zelda, and she has been a personal hero of mine ever since. I feel lucky for e

58、very conversation we had together. Each time I walked away feeling like I could do anything, and she used those powers very skillfully. She told me to ask for more from the world, even if I wanted the sun. So, to honour my friend: I ll have your moon too, thanks.As a staunch feminist(女权主义者)，labour u

59、nionist, and pay justice advocate, Zelda had an everlasting impact on the womens movement and labour movements within Australia. She also took the time in her later years to help and nurture young feminists. I，and many others, are beneficiaries of that kindness.She left school at 14 to join the work

60、force, and it was in this factory work she began to witness firsthand the inequality between male and female workers. With each job she took she would point out the injustice of this disparity(悬殊) to her employers and would be swiftly dismissed. She didnt care about personal consequences, she cared

61、about fairness.In 1969，fed up with the lack of progress for women, Zelda secured herself to the doors of the Commonwealth Building to protest the dismissal in the arbitration court of the equal pay case，of which she was a test case with the Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union(AMIEU). In an al

62、ltoofamiliar pattern, for this “outspokenness” she was fired from the AMIEU.The legislation Zelda fought for has been all but eroded(逐渐消失的). The Equal Pay Act of 1972 has been aggressively watered down to become the “Fair Work Act” and no longer even mentions “pay equality”， “gender discrimination”

63、or “equal pay”. We_allowed_ourselves_to_be_the_frogs_in_the_hot_water. Zelda noticed, and Im heartbroken she couldnt stay long enough to see us fix it. But fix it we will.When Zelda was chained to the doors of parliament, a police officer began to criticize her. “Arent you embarrassed? Its just you

64、on your own，” he said. Without hesitating, she replied “No. Because soon there will be three, then there will be five, and then there will be”. She was right. Ten days after her protest she was joined by Alva Geikie and Thelma Solomon. From that action, the three women founded the Womens Action Comm

65、ittee and the Womens Liberation Centre, from which the Womens Liberation Movement in Melbourne was born. This changed the landscape of feminist organising in Australia forever.In her 1995 biography, Zelda described wanting to get more women involved in activism, because “we had passed the stage of c

66、aring about a ladylike image because women had for too long been polite . and were still being ignored”. She didnt care about what people thought of her, she cared about fairness.The Womens Action Committee organised the very first prochoice rally in 1975, with an impressive turnout of over 500 wome

67、n. It was reported by the media as a “horde of angry barefoot women” taking to the streets. Zelda assured me they were definitely wearing shoes. She really did walk the walk, throughout her entire life.In 2015, the Victorian Trades Hall Council introduced the Zelda DAprano Award for union activism.

68、In a bittersweet coincidence, the nominations(提名) for the 2018 award opened on the very day she passed away. The flag at Trades Hall was lowered to half mast in her honour.The legacy(遗产) of Zelda D Aprano cannot be contained within memorial writings, and it cannot die. It lives within the hearts of

69、feministsyoung and oldwho, inspired by her spirit, will continue to fight for equality and fairness. It lives in the fire in our bellies. It lives in the smirk(假笑) we wear when we are doubted. Even through the heartache of loss, it lives.()65. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _A. provide

70、some key information about Zelda D ApranoB. direct the readers attention to the powerful symbolC. express great admiration for the great feministD. prove the popularity of the great feminist()66. Which of the following is the correct order of the major events in Zeldas life?a. She was fired from the

The Zelda DAprano Award for union activism was introduced.A. eabdc B. bcdae C. bacde D. ebcda()67. What does the underlined se

People could hardly put up with the inequality and unfairness.D. People submitted to the worsening situation about womens rights.()68. Which of the following can be

We can infer from the last paragraph that the author _A. appeals to people to follow in Zeldas footstepsB. encourag

A Pioneer in Gender Equality and Fairness第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。Do People in Public Life Have a Right to Privacy?People, famous or not, have a right to privacy, which is a basic human right. Although some of them have

76、 voluntarily made themselves known to the world, they are still entitled to live a life without others following them all the time.However, we have to distinguish between famous people. Basically, there are those who were seeking a public lifeor at least knew to some extent what they were going into

77、and those who were not. Politicians, athletes, actors, musicians and entertainers belong to the former. The latter are ordinary citizens who become significant, because of their extraordinary experiences, for example, victims of crimes or tragedies, but also criminals.The number of ordinary citizens

78、 who receive their celebrity(名人) status unwillingly is quite big and the privacy of those people needs to be especially respected and maintained. Names, addresses or pictures that could lead to the identification of a person should never be made public. It is not of interest for the readers, and it

79、usually does not make a difference for them, what the name of someone is, but for the one concerned publication of identity could mean embarrassment and harassment(骚扰). Suspected criminals, for instance, could lose their jobs, their families could break up or their whole lives could get destroyed, e

80、ven when they are innocent. Apart from that, as soon as someone is well known, they are pursued and harassed by journalists demanding interviews. Also in cases where a family just had to experience the loss of a dear person, the press usually shows little respect for that.In the case of politicians

81、or other powerful people, the right to privacy comes into conflict with another right, the publics right to know. Therefore, the right to privacy of certain politicians sometimes has to be neglected to ensure a rightful running of the country. But do we need to get informed about everything there is

82、?Actually, the position of politicians in the eye of the public is especially difficult to judge. On the one hand politicians use their happy family and home in campaigns; on the other hand, we know personal behaviors have nothing to do with competence in running a country and private details, even

83、if completely irrelevant, can still ruin careers. Sometimes only due to the intrusion(侵入) of privacy, corruption or similar crimes can be made public, but at the same time not everything in ones life is connected to ones office.When personal morality and family values are deliberately used by politi

84、cians as a reason for them to be elected, they have chosen to make it a public issue rather than a private one. This is a sad fact, but it does not justify intrusion of the personal lives of all politicians. A politician still is, like everyone else, entitled to privacy.Passage outlineSupporting det

One possible version：Today, young Chinese people take completely different attitudes to Chinese and western festivals. In Picture 1

91、, a girl is greeting her mother excitedly at Christmas while Picture 2 shows a girl is at a loss about the Dragon Boat Festival. The phenomenon reflects declining effects of traditional Chinese festivals among young people. Although traditional Chinese festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival havent

92、lost their vital positions, theyre encountering neglect and embarrassment. Western festivals are gaining growing popularity in our society, posing a threat to traditional Chinese festivals. The Chinese nation has created a rich, colorful culture. But how can we deal with the challenges? Were suppose

93、d to educate young people about Chinese culture. Besides observing festivals, young people should also be encouraged to be involved in other traditional Chinese activities, such as paper cutting, Peking Opera and so on. Only in this way can we carry forward our traditional culture well. 听力材料Text 1W：
