Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or

28、phrases marked A, B, C and D.

32、urity into a _27_ industry. The market for school-security equipment and services reached $2.7 billion in 2017, according to a report by the research firm Omdia. That was before the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., further increased the focus on security measu

33、res at schools.The school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24 this year has restarted the discussion about whether safety measures at schools can _28_ mass shootings.

36、schools into this mix of castles and _33_ ,” says Bryan Warnick, an education professor at Ohio State University.Although many school districts invest in security in the hopes of preventing shootings, some worry that reinforcing schools ultimately makes _34_ responsible for solving the gun-violence

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the

41、 information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“Its a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boatsmall enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray wh

42、ale swims up alongside. And then we see what weve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerge

43、s to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.”San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja Calif

44、ornia to give birth and to mate. If youre lucky you can “shake hands with a leatheryfin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these prot

45、ected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.”So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a

46、young gray turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened“or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day t

47、here, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “Im splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though shes “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.”36. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The writer was on a whale-t

48、ouching trip.B. The writers boat went down with a huge wave.C. The baby whale splashed water all over the writer.D. The mother whales skin felt as hard as a boiled egg.37. By “does so on its own terms” (in paragraph 2), the writer means whales in San Ignacio are _.A. mad with too many visitorsB. rea

49、dy for hands-on attentionC. restricted in swimming routesD. enclosed in their safety zones38. Gray whales got the name of “devil fish” from their _.A. strange appearanceB. inborn violenceC. surprisingly enormous sizeD. fierceness in danger39. The writers implied purpose in the passage is to _.A. pop

60、lored internal figures that drive her behaviors. The same five emotionsanger, fear, disgust (憎恶), sadness, and joyappear in every other characters head as well, functioning in much the same way in each individual. In Western cultures, this is the case, argues psychologist Batja Mesquita in Between U

61、s. Emotions in such contexts, she writes, are considered “MINE,” or “Mental, INside the person, and Essentialist,” the latter defined in the book as always having the same properties.This conception of emotion is not universal, however. Emotions elsewhere, she argues, are thought of as “OURS”“OUtsid

62、e the person, Relational, and Situated.” Using this distinction, Mesquita sets about contrasting emotions in “the West,” where the individual is the top concern, with “the Rest,” where community is prioritized.Mesquita describes amae as a central emotion in Japanese culture, where it builds interdep

63、endence by encouraging tolerance in parenting process. She describes hashamwhich includes shame, embarrassment, and social respectabilityas a fundamental emotion for Egyptian Bedouins (游牧人). Such observations provide a background for her to explore a range of issues, including childhood socializatio

64、n, the nature of friendship, the role of language in shaping emotions, and cross-cultural communication in a globalized world.Despite Mesquitas emphasis on cross-cultural emotions, there is little discussion of whether the MINE-OURS dichotomy (二分法) accurately explains global cultural variation. Othe

65、r scholars have noted, for example, that hunter-gatherer societies at the same time emphasize both individual self-government and social cooperation. And in an apparent contradiction to her earlier arguments, Mesquita herself ultimately concludes that Westerners have OURS emotions.Taken as a whole,

66、however, the book contributes much to the discussion of the origins of emotions, presenting a remarkable collection of cross-cultural studies intermixed with personal stories about foreign residents struggles to reunite diverse emotional and social worlds. In chapter 8, for example, Mesquita describ

67、es an incident where shea Dutch native living in the United Statesbumped into the famous American psychologist Hazel Markus at a conference Markus helped organize. Wishing to express understanding of Markuss workload, Mesquita declared “You look a little tired.” The remark appeared to make Markus ne

68、rvous and confused but was intended as an expression of sympathyto sympathize in Dutch is to acknowledge suffering, not offer comfort as in the US.The books take-home message is fundamental: There are no natural emotions, no inborn emotions, no universal emotions. Mesquita argues that emotions are “

69、meaning making” and “a preparation for action” and that the idea of “emotions as inner states” is a Western construct. Instead, she suggests that emotions are a “dance” cocreated between people who live in a specific cultural context at a particular historical moment.43. In Between Us, Mesquita indi

70、cates that _.A. the Japanese build kids emotion of shame in parentingB. MINE-OURS dichotomy is the very cause of cross-cultural emotionsC. emotions outside “the West” are considered community-centredD. hunter-gatherers have both emotions of “OURS” and “MINE”44. We can infer from the incident in para

71、graph 5 that _.A. the emotion of sympathy is to offer help in Dutch cultureB. foreign residents from different cultures usually unite as oneC. as Dutch Mesquita shows her personality of warmth and caringD. cross-cultural emotional exchanges probably cause misunderstanding45. What is Mesquitas main a

72、rgument about emotions in her book?A. Family education hardly influences ones emotions.B. Sociocultural contexts largely contribute to emotions.C. Western peoples emotions have no properties of OURS.D. Internal factors play a vital role in shaping how we feel.46. Which of the following is the best t

73、itle of the passage?A. The cultural landscape of emotionsB. The cultural origin of emotionsC. The cultural convention of emotionsD. The cultural shock of emotionsSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that the

74、re are two more sentences than you need.Robots that serveRobots used to be found only in science fiction. In the 1960s, the animated (动画片的) space-age family the Jetsons had a robotic maid who could do household tasks. In the 2014 movie Big Hero 6, the robot Baymax could diagnose and heal illnesses i

75、nstantly. _47_ In the field of medicine, robot patients help train doctors and nurses by pretending they have a variety of health conditions. Now robots are finding a home in the food service industry.The globally spread disease and resulting economic crisis have created a lack of restaurant workers

76、. Since restaurants dont have enough workers, the remaining staff must work harder. _48_ Some businesspersons are lending a handa robotic handin the form of server robots. These robots are not exactly modeled after Rosey, the Jetsons robotic household servant, but they are pretty clever and very cut

77、e.Server robots come in several different varieties. Many have a design that looks like a rolling cart. One model named Bella even has a cute cat-like face. Many are fairly short and shaped like R2D2 of Star Wars fame. They are designed to deliver dishes to customers in a restaurant. They are also j

78、ust the right height for customers to easily reach them. _49_ They can not only deliver delicious food to hungry customers, but also get back dirty dishes at the end of the meal._50_ Concerning the price, a server robot costs from a few thousand to several thousand dollars. And in 2021, a restaurant

79、 even rented one for as low as US$15 per day. Regarding safety, special sensors on the robots keep them from crashing into customers. Because there arent enough restaurant workers, filling positions with these robotic servers is a no-brainer. Dont be surprised if you see one rolling up to your table

80、 soon.A. Typically, their deliveries have to occur within 30 seconds.B. Perhaps youre wondering about issues such as the cost and safety factors.C. In real life robots function in many manufacturing and household situations.D. Regardless, customers face longer wait times, fewer menu choices and high

81、er prices.E. Server robots are planned to be given new functions, such as performing and holding conversations with customers.F. Restaurant owners are finding server robots ideal for performing repetitive tasks, however many there are.IV. Summary Writing51. Directions: Read the following passage. Su

82、mmarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Men may eat more in summerWinter may be seen as the time to fill up with food, but in fact, sunny summer months are when men eat more caloriesunlike women.The effect seems t

83、o occur because sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone (激素), says Carmit Levy at Tel Aviv University in Israel. Levy and her colleagues noticed the effect in experiments in mice, in which male animals exposed to UV light (紫外线) ate more food.To see if humans do the same, the

84、team used data on about 3000 people who had filled in questionnaires as part of the Israeli governments national health and nutrition survey. Between March and September, the men consumed about 17 per cent more calories per day than they did during the rest of the year, while the womens food intake

85、stayed about the same.Human appetite is influenced by many complex systems, but a substance called ghrelin, a hormone produced in the body that stimulates appetite, seems to be the only hormone that directly stimulates eating. It was thought to be mainly produced by the stomach when empty. “It tells

86、 the brain to eat more,” says Caroline Gorvin at the University of Birmingham, UK.Further investigation revealed that exposing male mice to UVB (紫外线 B 段波) radiation, which is present in sunlight, raised levels of ghrelin production by fat cells in their skin. This was blocked by the female sex hormo

87、ne, which may explain why the effect wasnt seen in the female mice or the women. Boosted ghrelin production was also seen in mens skin samples that were exposed to UV light in the lab.Skin hasnt previously been thought to play a role in appetite, says Gorvin. The reason for the effect is unclear, bu
