18、ed to study archaeology at Peking University.However, there was a heated debate concerning whether she had made a wise decision. Some netizens argued that she wouldnt have a promising future unless she chose a more popular majorfor instance, finance, engineering, business, etc. instead of archaeolog

19、y. Whats more, considering the financial burden on her family, she had better think twice before making her final decision.The girl later responded that she had been inspired to pursue archeology by Fan Jinshi, president of Dunhuang Academy, and that she had developed a passion for history and cultu

20、ral relics. She also added that she cared little about fame and fortune.Zhong has increased my confidence because of her attitude towards life. Firstly, she knows clearly what she is really interested in and is determined to devote herself to it. Secondly, Zhong has been able to stick to her pursuit

21、 despite the criticism from society.Zhongs pursuit reminds me of a lady who walks on a country road and lives in poetryLi Ziqi.

A Heated Debate Arose Among NetizensC An infectious disease is a disease that is caused by the invasion of a host by pathogens（病原体）w

26、hose activities harm the hosts tissues and can be spread to other individuals.Microorganisms（微生物）capable of causing disease are called pathogens. A true pathogen is an infectious agent that causes disease in any possible host. The terms “infection” and “disease” are quite different. In order to caus

27、e disease, pathogens must be able to enter the host body, stick to specific host cells, invade and multiply and do damage to host tissues.Pathogens may be spread through either direct or indirect contact. Direct contact occurs when an individual is infected by contact with the infection source. It a

28、lso includes taking in the infectious droplets released by sneezing or coughing. Indirect contact occurs when a pathogen can survive the environment outside its host for a long period of time. So lifeless objects that are polluted by direct contact with the infection source may be the indirect conta

29、ct for easily infected group.Public health measures typically involve killing the pathogen from its source or from its route of spread. Those measures include ensuring a safe water supply, effectively treating waste water, and initiating animal control and vaccination（疫苗）programs, etc. Personally, t

30、he first line of defense is to keep pathogen at bay by following good personal hygiene（卫生）habits. Prevent infection before it begins and avoid spreading it to others with some easy measures, such as washing hands, getting vaccinated and so on.Man never stops fighting against all kinds of infectious

31、diseases. But in the past two decades at least a dozen “new” disease have been identified, and traditional diseases that appeared to be “on their way out” are re-emerging. Globally, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death. Clearly, the battle has not been won. Nevertheless, it is incre

32、asingly difficult for most of us to deny the claims of science. We are continually presented with great amounts of relevant scientific and medical knowledge, which encourages us to take more responsibility for our own health.28What does paragraph 2 focus on?AOrigin of true pathogens.BNature of infec

33、tious diseases.CStrategies for avoiding tissue damage.DDifferences between infection and disease.29What is likely to cause disease spread through indirect contact?AGetting bitten by an infected dog.BPlaying toys a sick child played with.CBreathing in tiny drops from sneezingDShaking hands with an in

34、fected person.30Which of the following can best explain the underlined phrase “at bay” in paragraph 4?AAt risk. BOff course. CUnder control.DWithin reach.31What does the last paragraph imply?AMan is at a loss about infectious diseases.BTraditional infectious diseases are dying out.CScience counts in

35、 defeating infectious diseases.DThe battle against infectious diseases is in vain.DAlmost every community has some form of rules and some way of enforcing them. So why do we have rules, and what makes people follow them?Studies have suggested that the reason we dont like rule-breaking is because fai

36、rness is programmed into our brains. Scientists have found that the brain reacts in a particular way when we feel we are being treated unfairly. A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings. The study found that this al

37、so happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly. They concluded that fairness is one of basic human needs.Arriving at a feeling of fairness means considering different, often conflicting, points of view. Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to compromise. But it can

38、be difficult to arrive at a compromise when there are conflicting interests. This is why communities have rules that everyone must follow.Social controls are an important factor in setting and following rules. They influence the way we behave, and can be internal (内在的) or external. Internal controls

39、 come from within and are based on our values and fears. Most of us dont steal, for example, because we believe that theft is unfair and wrong. We also dont want to disappoint our family and friends. In other words, our internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.External con

40、trols include rewards and punishments. Rewards, such as job promotions and praise, are designed to encourage people to behave and acting the interest of the whole community. Punishments, such as public embarrassment, fines, and even imprisonment can prevent people from acting against the communitys

41、best interests.People need their communities to function smoothly. If there were no rules, most people would probably still behave positively. However, there would always be a minority who would not. This is why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.32What does the underlined word “this” in p

42、aragraph 2 refer to?AA program in human brains. BA comfortable situation.CThe response with bad feelings. DThe requirement of fairness.33Why do communities have rules?ATo punish illegal activities. BTo prevent disagreement.CTo promote fairness. DTo meet various demands.34Which of the following is an

43、 example of internal control?ATake exams honestly because cheating is shamefulBPark in the right place so as not to get a parking ticket.CPay the electricity bill on time in order not to get a late fee.DCooperate with your classmates to win a prize for your class.35What is the best title for this pa

Ive watched many students rely on their parents and grandparents for guidance

46、, forgetting that they were raised in an area when it was common to spend an entire career in one organization.What about going to people who are qualified to give advice?_ 38_ Advisers often focus too heavily on their personal preferences and experiences rather than take our perspective(视角）.At some

47、 point, you have probably noticed that youre wiser when giving advice to others than you are in making decisions for yourself. Youre not alone. It often happens because we have more distance from other peoples problems than our own. _39_Sure enough, psychologists find that our reasoning becomes wise

48、r when we think about our own problems from a third-person perspective.Advising others doesnt just help us make better decisions, but it also leaves us more motivated to follow through. In one experiment, it was expected people were more motivated when receiving than giving advice. _40 _It was peopl

49、e who gave advice who became more motivated.If you want to get better career advice, you can start by reflecting on what you would tell someone else with a similar question.
