21、   Shiri Magar grew up in a small village in the center of Israel and found that she has a love for singing and performing. She also has a love for volunteering and helping others. She has managed to combine both of these in her Good Deeds Diva vlog(视频博客).

Shiri followed a music track that led her to the Boston Conservatory and then back to Israel where she was accepted to the Meitar Opera Studio at the Israeli Opera, and sang main roles at the Israeli Opera as well as abroad. She achieved her dream to be a professional opera singer but realized that in this competitive field she didn't have time to continue to help others by volunteering and doing good, which brought her anxiety.

Fortunately, Shiri came up with a win-win solution—she started doing good deeds in the opera world. She began by giving hamsas (a Middle Eastern good luck symbol) to a competition she was participating in, which took place in Moscow, Russia, and giving them to all the other participants and wishing them all good luck. The reaction was very positive and it was contagious! The next day a woman gave everyone roses. Shiri said that instead of being singer against singer, they became colleagues and friends. That's when she launched Good Deeds Diva.

At first, her vlog was concentrated in just the opera community but then she expanded it because she wanted to make even bigger waves. Shiri's first goal is to promote self- kindness something that is much needed in these - times and the second is to promote good deeds in the creative community by spotlighting other performers, especially as the coronavirus pandemic has shut down live performances. The last goal is to increase awareness of environmental issues like pollution, global warming, and being kinder to the earth.

Now grounded in Tel Aviv, Shiri uses her Good Deeds Diva vlog to increase goodness, happiness, and ways to spread inner joy to people all over the world.

【1】Why did Shiri feel anxious in the opera world?

A．She had to face many competitors.

B．She hardly had time to help others.

C．She suffered pressure as main roles.

D．She found volunteering time consuming.

【2】What did Shiri do to continue doing good deeds in Moscow?

A．She helped participants stand out.

B．She asked others to exchange gifts.

C．She taught others to make hamsas.

D．She sent wishes to her competitors.

【3】What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Receiving positive reactions.

B．Transporting diseases around.

C．Being competitive.

D．Spreading among people.

【4】What does paragraph 4 focus on about Shiri?

A．Her ways to promote operas.

B．Her goals of cutting pollution.

C．Her aims of running her vlog.

D．Her dreams about her singing.

23、Sending human travelers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles. One of them is the enormous risk posed by particle radiation from the sun, distant stars and galaxies.

Answering two key questions would go a long way toward overcoming that: Would particle radiation pose too serious a threat to human life throughout a round trip to the red planet? And, could the very timing of a mission to Mars help protect astronauts from the radiation?

In a new article published in the journal Space Weather, an international team of space scientists with researchers from UCLA, answers those two questions.

That is, humans should be able to safely travel to and from Mars, provided that the spacecraft has adequate shielding (防护) and the round trip is shorter than approximately four years. And the timing of a human mission to Mars would indeed make a difference: The scientists determined that the best time for a flight to leave Earth would be when solar activity is at its peak, because the most dangerous and energetic particles from distant galaxies are deflected (偏移) during solar maximum.

Imaginably, the average flight to Mars takes about nine months, so it is reasonable that a human mission could reach the planet and return to Earth in less than two years,according to Yuri Shprits, a UCLA research geophysicist and co-author of the paper.:

“This study shows that although space radiation imposes (追使) strict limitations on how heavy the spacecraft can be and the time of launch, and it presents technological difficulties for human missions to Mars, such a mission is viable,” said Shprits, who also is head of space physics and space weather at GFZ Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam,Germany.

【1】What are the two questions about?

A．Getting rid of the technological obstacles.

B．Making astronauts return from Mars safely.

C．Protecting astronauts from particle radiation.

D．Launching the spacecraft to Mars in shielding.

【2】Which decides the time when humans fly to Mars?

A．The distance to stars.

B．The length of the round trip.

C．The size of particles.

D．The degree of solar activity.

【3】What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．Challenging.

B．Workable.

C．Rewarding.

D．Affordable.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Two Questions, a Help to Humans?

B．Particle Radiation, an Obstacle to Mars?

C．Travelling to Mars, an Impossible Mission?

D．A Round Trip to Mars, Technological Advance?

24、   Empathy can give purpose to our lives and truly comfort people in distress, hut it can also do great harm. While showing an empathetic response to the tragedy and trauma of others can be helpful, it can also, if misdirected, turn us into what Professor James Dawes has called “emotional parasites.”

Empathy can make people angry — perhaps dangerously so — if they mistakenly perceive that another person is threatening a person they care for. For example, while at a public gathering, you notice a heavyset, casually dressed man who you think is “staring” at your pre-teenage daughter. While the man has remained expressionless and has not moved from his spot, your empathetic understanding of what he “might” be thinking of doing to your daughter drives you into a state of rage. While there was nothing in the man's expression or body language that should have led you to believe he intended to harm your daughter, your empathetic understanding of what was

Probably “going on inside his head” took you there, Danish family therapist Jesper Juul has referred to empathy and aggression (攻击性) as “existential twins.”

For years, psychologists have reported cases of overly empathetic patients endangering the well-being of themselves and their families by giving away their life savings to random needy individuals. Such overly empathetic people who feel they are somehow responsible for the distress of others have developed an empathy-based guilt.

The better-known condition of “survivor guilt” is a form of empathy-based guilt in which an empathetic person incorrectly feels that his or her own happiness has come at the cost or may have even caused another person's misery.

According to psychologist Lynn O’Connor, persons who regularly act out of empathy-based guilt, tend to develop mild depression in later-life.

Psychologists warn that empathy should never be confused with love. While love can make any relationship-good or bad — better, empathy cannot and can even hasten the end of a strained relationship. Essentially, love can cure, empathy cannot.

Rehabilitation and trauma counselor Mark Stebnicki coined the term “empathy fatigue” to refer to a state of physical exhaustion resulting from repeated or prolonged personal involvement in the chronic illness, disability, trauma, grief, and loss of others.

While more common among mental health counselors, any overly empathetic person can experience “empathy fatigue”. According to Stebnicki, “high touch” professionals like doctors, nurses, lawyers, and teachers tend to suffer from empathy fatigue, Paul Bloom, Ph.D., professor of psychology and cognitive science at Yale University, goes so far as to suggest that due to its inherent dangers, people need less empathy rather than more.

【1】Empathy and aggression are regarded as “existential twins” because___________.

A.empathy can make people angry

B.empathy can be easily misunderstood

C.aggressive people often show more empathy

D.empathy and aggression always come together

【2】According to the passage, what might be an example of empathy-based guilt?

A.People give away their savings to charity

B.One feels sorry for not paying off the debt.

C.One feels guilty for his/her own happiness.

D.Patients feel bad for having to be attended.

【3】What might be the author’s attitude towards showing empathy?

A.Approving. B.Neutral.

C.Optimistic. D.Critical.

【4】Which of the following would the author most likely agree with?

A.It might be better if we show less empathy.

B.Empathy and love both help boost happiness.

C.Empathy fatigue leads to illness and disability.

D.Well-meant empathy won't damage a relationship.
