21、Over time, the custom of kissing developed as a way for adults to express their love and affection for one another. The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.

　　Much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as an expression of their affection. Not surprisingly, France first accepted kissing in courtship (求爱). There, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.

　　The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia, where Russian nobility loved to imitate the French. Eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip locks couples into sweet matrimony.

　　The custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. Early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified. One Roman emperor even ranked a person's importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.

In Russia, the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant a kiss from the Tsar himself. Today, natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.

【1】What’s mainly talked about in the passage?

A．The way to express love and respect.

B．The expression of affection.

C．The custom of kissing.

D．The function of kissing.

【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “homage” in the 4th paragraph？

A．kissing is a widely accepted way to show love and affection

B．kissing used to be a proper way to show love on the wedding ceremony

C．kissing is a widely accepted way of greeting in the world

D．kissing from the Tsar is only sign of being accepted from the Crown

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．It was France that made the custom of kissing go to the whole world.

B．Early Africans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another.

C．One Roman emperor allowed important nobles to kiss his nose.

D．Russian nobility followed the custom of kissing from the French.

【5】We can infer from the passage that __________.

A．mothers created the custom of kissing

22、There’s fresh evidence that eating a healthy diet, one that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and limits highly processed foods, can help reduce symptoms of depression.

A randomized controlled trial published in the journal PLOS ONE finds that symptoms of depression dropped significantly among a group of young adults after they followed a Mediterranean-style pattern of eating for three weeks. Participants saw their depression “score” fall from the “moderate” range down to the “normal” range.   【1】 Alternatively, the depression scores didn’t change for those who didn’t change their diet.

These participants continued to eat a diet higher in refined carbohydrates, processed foods and sugary foods and drinks. Their depression scores remained in the “moderate” range.   【2】

There is a highly consistent evidence base linking healthier diets to reduced depression risk. For example, a 2013 analysis of 22 previously published studies showed that the Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression. 【3】 It suggested that a diet rich in fruit, whole grains, vegetables, fish, olive oil and low-fat milk was associated with a lower risk of depression while a diet rich in greater amounts of red meat, refined grains, sweets and high-fat dairy products was linked to a higher risk of depression.

【4】 They could be education, income, body weight and other health behaviors. Most of these studies show an association and “can’t indicate cause and effect”. In other words, the studies don’t prove dietary changes directly cause the improvement or decline in mood. 【5】 it is unlikely to be a cure for all mental diseases.

A．A 2017 study had similar findings.

B．People are quite surprised by the findings.

C．And they reported lower levels of anxiety and stress too.

D．Because it is hard to assess participants’ mental health,

E．So, while diet may be important to your mood and mental health.

F．We need further research to understand how our brain works to stay healthy.

G．Actually, these links between diet and depression are independent of some relative aspects.

23、People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. It’s not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.

Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture.

Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined(注定)to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts(本能).

Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./ sth. to develop better and more quickly)as the basis of their behavior.

The social and political connections of these two theories are significant. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages  that whites enjoy, and that, as a result ,they do not develop the same responses that whites do.

Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain.

【1】The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem .

A. why our personalities and behaviors differ

B. what makes different stages of intelligence

C. how social scientists form different theories

D. what causes the “nature/ nurture” argument

【2】The underlined word “proponents” can best be replaced by .

A. approaches   B. advocates

C. principles   D. characters

【3】Which of the following statements may be supported by the “nature” school?

A. We are born with certain personalities and behaviors.

B. Environment has nothing to do with our personalities.

C. Abilities and characteristics are showed by behaviors.

D. Only extreme behaviors are determined by instincts.

【4】 What can we learn about the behaviorists?

A. They believe human beings are mechanical.

B. They compare our behaviors to the machines.

C. They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do.

D. They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.

24、How to stop glasses fogging up with a face mask

Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it comes with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time they fog up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. 【1】Here are some tricks to stop it.

Twist your mask strings.

From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask. 【2】. This may leave you infected by virus.

Wash your glasses with soap.

If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. 【3】 , and let them air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging.

Use tissues.

You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask. 【4】To do this DIY trick properly, you should fold a tissue in half and place the straight edge along the bridge of your nose.

Change the position of your masks and glasses.

【5】 But if you do this there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin (下巴) after you pull it up. And, if your prescription (解决方案) is stronger, this trick could impact your vision and cause increased blurriness (模糊强度).

A．Put your glasses in it

B．Wash your glasses with a soap

C．It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog

D．So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks

E．Cover your chin with masks to prevent the need for re-positioning when talking

F．Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face

G．Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards
