21、   Mario Cohn-Haft remembers the sinking feeling he had when he realised the parrot he had come to see would probably not appear before him again. He had taken a bird-watching tour to the area where the very last wild Spix’s macaw(金刚鹦鹉), a blue parrot native to Brazil, was known to show itself. But that tour was the first he had led that couldn’t spot it. “I was one of the first people to experience it being extinct in the wild,” says Cohn-Haft, an ornithologist (鸟类学家). That was 20 years ago. No wild Spix’s macaws have been seen since.

But today there is hope. Spix’s macaws still exist. A small number of breeding pairs are currently living in captivity ( 圈 养 ). Conservationists are in the middle of a project to raise healthy birds and prepare them for release into the wild. The Association for the Conservation of Threatened Parrots (ACTP) is leading current efforts.

Cromwell Purchase, a director at the ACTP, explains that the group plans to send 50 Spix’s macaws to rehabilitation facilities in Brazil, which are currently under construction. If all goes well, the birds will be shipped from Germany soon. The conservation team will first practice a technique for releasing the birds on a small flock of Illiger’s macaws. Then, in 2021, the Spix’s will be released with a small group of the Illiger’s, which will hopefully help them to adapt to the forest of Caatinga.

The real test will be whether the birds take to their native surroundings and whether they successfully breed and raise chicks in the wild. But Brazil wants the plan to work. “We know how to reintroduce parrots. There are now many publications and case studies that show we can get birds out into the wild and have them survive,” says Don Brightsmith, an expert in parrots. Brightsmith notes one important point — the birds must be shown how to raise chicks independently. Otherwise, any reintroduced population will quickly collapse.

Happily, Purchase says this is something he and his colleagues are working on. Should the birds flourish, the blue flash of a Spix’s wings might one day be seen again by locals and, perhaps, fascinated groups of bird-watchers.

【1】What do we know about Cohn-Haft’s bird-watching tour 20 years ago?

A.It turned out to be fruitless.

B.It was his last bird-watching tour.

C.It inspired him to study the Spix’s macaw.

D.It allowed him to spot the last wild Spix’s macaw.

【2】Which of the following is most likely to take place in 2021?

A.Some Spix’s macaws being sent to their natural habitat.

B.Some Spix’s macaws and Illiger’s macaws being crossbred.

C.Some new Spix’s macaw rehabilitation facilities being built.

D.Some breeding Spix’s macaws being imported from Germany.

【3】Which word can best describe Brightsmith’s tone of speech?

A.Cautious. B.Confused. C.Confident. D.Concerned.

【4】What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.Case-studying wild Spix’s macaws.

B.Enabling Spix’s macaws to fly again.

C.Increasing the population of Spix’s macaws.

D.Training adult Spix’s macaws to be qualified parents.

22、Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a little later, in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say “I’m sorry”, rather, they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good tiling.

【1】 It evokes Freud’s ideas and religious hang-ups. More important, guilt is deeply uncomfortable - it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Who would inflict it upon a child? Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,” Vaish says, adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger, for example, may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness (think mania) can be destructive.

And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can encourage humans to correct errors and fix relationships. 【2】 It is a kind of social glue.

Viewed in this light, guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies, Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy (and its close cousin empathy) may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can control their impulses. 【3】

In a 2014 study, for example, Malit and a colleague looked at 244 children, aged 4, 8, and 12. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations, they rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions (like guilt and sadness) after moral transgressions. Then the kids were handed stickers and chocolate coins, and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. For the low-sympathy kids, how much they shared appeared to turn on how likely they were to feel guilty. The guilt-prone ones shared more.【4】

“That’s good news.” Malti says. “We can be pro-social because of the empathetic proclivity (倾向), or because we caused harm and we feel regret.”

A．And vice versa: High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.

B．The main reason why guilt works comes down to simple psychology and conditioning we receive as children.

C．However, they may not magically have become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation.

D．Guilt is ail incredibly powerful emotion.

E．In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad rap.

F．Guilt in other words, can help hold a cooperative species together.

23、   The Red Bicycle is a storybook about a bicycle’s journey from North America to the countryside in West Africa. The full name of the book is The Red Bicycle: The Extraordinary Story of One Ordinary Bicycle, and was written by Jude Isabella from Canada.

Leo wants a bike, not just any bike but a red one. He makes money by doing part-time jobs until he has enough money to buy it. He loves his new bike and names it Big Red. He rides Big Red everywhere for many years until he is finally too big for it. Because he has taken such good care of the bike, it looks almost new. He wants to give the bike to someone who really needs it, and will love it the way he does. Leo learns about a charity that sends donated bikes to people in Africa.

When Big Red arrives in Africa, the bike finds a new owner, a young girl named Alisetta. She learns to ride Big Red and uses it to help her family on their farm. She also rides Big Red to the market to sell goods that her grandmother made. She earns money so her sister can go to school. Alisetta earns enough money to buy another bike. But while she is gone, Big Red is destroyed by a pig. A worker from a hospital then takes Big Red, repairs it, and turns it into an ambulance. Then, a young woman, named Haridata, uses the bike to bring sick people to the hospital.

What a wonderful journey the bicycle takes and what a useful life it has. The Red Bicycle is a great story. It will inspire children from around the world to help others, and do something as simple as donating their bikes to charity.

24、When I was seven, my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I love it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices tell the time which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.

But while the wise have realized that they don’t need them, others – apparently including some distinguished men of our time – are spending total fortunes on them. Brand such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to £250,000 for a piece.

This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra function – but who need them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?

If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggested that you like to pilot planes across the world.

Watches are now classified as “investments”. A 1994 Patek Philippe recently sold for nearly £350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £15,000 to £30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up –they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Timex.

【1】The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they _________.

A．prefer to wear an iPod

B．think watches too expensive

C．have other devices to tell the time

D．have no sense of time

【2】It seems ridiculous to the writer that________.

A．expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell

B．expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones

C．cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive cars

D．people dive 300 metres into the sea

【3】What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?

A．It’s easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches

B．It’s hard for the industry to beat the competitors.

C．It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.

D．It targets rich people as its potential customers.

【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．Timex or Rolex?

B．Watches? Not for me!

C．My Childhood Timex.

D．Watches – a Valuable Collection
