21、   Before she leaves home in San Francisco, California, Jennifer Schaefer, puts on long sleeves and a big hat she calls her “personal umbrella.” With her fair skin, red hair, memories of bad childhood sunburn, and a family history of skin cancer, Schaefer is painfully aware of the danger of exposure to ultraviolet(紫外线) radiation, which accounts for the vast majority of skin cancers.

So she finds it unbelievable how few people bother with sun safety, with most preferring sun worship to sun protection. “In our culture, it’s almost funny to be too protected,” she says, highlighting the way her friends tease her when she puts on her bathing suit-a protective 'rash guard' top and knee-length board shorts.＂We're slowly starting to become aware of the long-term effects of the sun, but it's like global warming-people are not going to make serious changes until they feel a direct impact."

That impact has helped push Australians, who are famous for sun loving, into changing their behavior. With its high solar ultraviolet levels and mostly fair-skinned population, Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. But after decades of increase, the melanoma(黑色瘤) rate began to stay at a steady level in the mid-1990s.The incidence of melanoma among young people's is now falling, as national surveys show that most Australians-more than 70% of adults and 55%of adolescents-no longer prefer a tan(棕褐色).

A 2013 study shows that, in addition to Australis, a handful of countries-notably New Zealand, Canada, Israel, Norway, the Czech Republic(for women)and the United States(for white men)-have melanoma rates that are declining or stabilizing among young people.

Back in San Francisco, Jennifer Schaefer is doing her best to educate the next generation. Her eldest daughter automatically puts on a hat to go outside. “Habits really start in children-it is like brushing your teeth,” she says.

【1】By describing Schaefer's bathing suit, the author suggests that Schaefer_____.

A.does not mind the teasing by her friends

B.attaches great importance to sun protection

C.goes to extreme measures to avoid the sun

D.is more interested in surfing than sunbathing

【2】What do New Zealand and Canada have in common?

A.Sun protection programs are developing quickly.

B.Their citizens prefer to be pale rather than get tanned.

C.Skin cancer rates are not increasing among the young.

D.Women and white men have the lowest rates of melanoma.

【3】What function does the final sentence have?

A.It makes the conclusion more meaningful.

B.It makes a complex concept easier to understand.

C.A serious topic is made more cheerful and attractive.

D.A familiar example supports the point made by the author.

【4】What's the purpose of the text?

A.To help individuals know how to make medical decisions.

B.To call for more research into ultraviolet radiation effect.

C.To draw the public's attention to ultraviolet radiation effect.

D.To honor a mother for her research into ultraviolet radiation.

22、One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop. She seemed not to go to work hurriedly. She wasn't going anywhere as well. Was she waiting for the bus? Did mall（商场）buses come this early when the stores wouldn't be open for hours? I felt puzzled. As I drove by, I heard a voice say, "Give her a bottle of water."

"She looks like she is sleeping. Why would I wake her? What is wrong with me? What is so hard about doing the right thing? It's just a bottle of water!"

So I drove by her again and again. Finally, I pulled my car into a parking zone, stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other. Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus. No words can describe what happened between us at that moment. I thought I was bringing her a cold drink, but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed. We sat together for a while as she talked. She had a sad story to tell, but she was no longer sad. Before we parted, I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks. We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.

I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act. Why did it take me many circles around the mall and an argument with myself? I was once torn between helping her and ignoring her. All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop, a miracle happened.

There are opportunities for us to love every day. Maybe our doubts keep us from acting. Maybe we don't want to take the risk or be uncomfortable. That day, I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.

【1】How did the author feel about the woman sitting alone in the beginning?

A．Annoyed.

B．Confused.

C．Terrified.

D．Amused.

【2】Why did the author drive by the woman over and over again?

A．To observe the poor woman.

B．To search for a parking space.

C．To evaluate whether to help her.

D．To improve the terribly poor driving skills.

【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word "torn" in paragraph 4?

A．ready to accept

B．unable to decide

C．glad to receive

D．illegal to choose

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．The wealth of life is action.

B．Love breaks down racial barriers.

C．Actions speak louder than words.

D．The best act to love is taking action.

23、   Psychopaths, by definition, have problems understanding the emotions of other people, which partly explains why they are so selfish and why they commit violent crimes at up to three times the rate of other people.

But curiously, they seem to have no difficulty in understanding what other people think, want, or believe."Their behavior seems to suggest that they don't consider the thoughts of others," says ArielleBaskin-Sommers from Yale University, but their performance on experiments suggests otherwise. When they hear a story and are asked to say what a character is thinking, they can.

On the face of it, this makes sense: Here are people who can understand what their victims are thinking but just don't care. Hence their actions. But Baskin-Sommers found that there's more to their minds than it seems.

Bakin-Sommers managed to persuade a maximum-security prison in Connecticut to let her work with their prisoners. First, Baskin-Sommers administered a standard test to 106 male prisoners from the Connecticut prison to assess psychopathy. Of them, 22 proved to be psychopaths, 28 were not, and the rest fell in a gray zone.

After assessing the 106 volunteers, she then gave them a computer-based task. They saw a picture of a human avatar (化身) in prison uniforms, standing in a room and facing either right or left. There were either two red dots on the wall in front of the avatar, or one dot in front of it and one dot behind it, The prisoners’ job was to figure out how many dots either they or the avatar could see.

Normally, people can accurately say how many dots the avatar sees, but they're slower if there are dots behind the avatar. Thar's because what they see (two dots) affects their ability to see through the avatar's eyes(one dot), This is called egocentric interference. But they're also slower to say how many dots they can see if that number differs from the avatar's count. People are automatically affected by the avatar's perspective, even when it hurts their own performance. This is called altercentic interference.

Baskin-Sommers found that the psychopathic prisoners showed the usual level of egocentric interference-that is, their own perspective was muscling in on the avatar's, But they showed much less altercentric interference than the other prisoners- the avatar's perspective wasn't messing with their own, as it would for most other people.

Of course, not all psychopaths are the same, and they vary considerably in their behavior. But Baskin-Sommers also found fhat the higher their score on the psychopathy assessment test, the less they were affected by what the avatar saw. And the less affected they were, the more charges they had on their record.

To her, the results show that psychopaths do not automatically take the perspective of other people. That helps to explain why they behave so cruelly and even violently.

【1】What does "otherwise" (in paragraph 2) refer to ?

A.Pychopaths' behavior is not worth studying

B.Psychopaths can understand others' thoughts

C.Psychopaths have trouble knowing about others.

D.Psychopaths' perfomance on experiments is unbelievable

【2】Baskin-Sommers's research with the prisoners involved.

A.asking them to say the number of the dots they or the avatar could see

B.reading their medical records to see whether they were psychopaths.

C.requiring them to figure out which avatar messed in with them

D.decreasing the effect of the avatar on their performance

【3】What can be inferred from the results of Baskin Sommers's work the prisoners?

A.It's more difficult for psychopaths to work out what they themselves are thinking about.

B.Egocentric interference are more related to criminal acts than altercentric imerference.

C.People showing more altercentric interference are less likely to be psychopaths.

D.Psychopaths tend to be affected by the avatar to the same degree.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?

A.Varieties of Psychopaths

B.How Psychopaths See the World

C.Psychopaths and Their Perspectives

D.Why Psychopaths Need More Understanding

24、In 2006, documents were published by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They suggested that cloned animals and cloned animal products would be allowed into the American food supply.

The FDA has stated that cloned animal products are safe for consumption, and has performed many studies to support this view. In fact, products from cloned animals have already been eaten by some Americans without ill effects. The FDA analyzed the structure(结构)and content of cloned animal products and compared it with that of traditionally reproduced animals, and discovered no statistical difference between the two.

Consumers raised serious concerns about cloned animals. The first is the question of whether or not cloned tissue and animal products are truly safe. The second is that many clones are also genetically modified(转基因的)animals, which the FDA has said are unsafe for human consumption. The third is that consumers want to be able to choose what they put into their bodies.

The first concern about cloned animals is almost unnecessary due to the price of producing a clone. Making a clone needs hard work and is very costly. These clones live spoiled lives because they are very valuable, despite biologists' warning that cloned animals decrease diversity.

The second concern, about genetic modification of cloned animals, is more problematic. It may be very difficult to separate genetically modified animals from normal ones. The purpose of genetically modified cloned animals is unclear, and the FDA hasn't allowed their products onto the market, due to health concerns, but the risk of genetic pollution of healthy animals still exists.

Finally, the matter of choice is a large one. Many animal rights activists are worried about clone rights because cloned or not, the animals still have lives. Other consumers are simply trying to eat healthy foods, and have doubts about the cloned animals. If the FDA does not make labeling (贴标签)laws, people may not be able to make informed choices about their food.

【1】Why did the FDA allow cloned animal products for consumption?

A．They appeal to consumers very much.

B．They differ from traditional animal products.

C．They taste better than normal animal products.

D．They have been proved safe in several aspects.

【2】What do we know about producing clones of animals?

A．It takes much more efforts and money.

B．It provides some new medical benefits.

C．It needs less time than raising animals.

D．It helps increase the diversity of animals.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Cloned animals should be forbidden to enter market.

B．Cloned animals should have the same rights as humans.

C．Laws should be made to protect people's right to choose food.

D．Animal rights activists are strongly against cloned animal products.

【4】What's the text mainly about?

A．Doubts about cloned animals rights.

B．Discussions about how to clone animals.

C．Concerns about animal cloning technology.

D．Worries about cloned animal consumption.

25、A Good Man
