22、Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.
Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.
On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development on its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.
Nonetheless, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.
Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.
【1】Individual integrity has been valued in society because ______.
A.it helps develop philosophy
B.it is crucial to social relations
C.it is the basis of critical thinking
D.it ensures people’s particular roles
【2】The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A.strengthening
B.assessing
C.influencing
D.destroying
【3】What does the author believe according to the passage?
A.Individual integrity relies on what one has faith in.
B.The pursuit of individual integrity changes with time.
C.The nature of society is decided by economic development.
D.Social structures guide the formation of individual integrity.
【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

A.
B.
C.
D.
23、Your eyes can water for many reasons, including weather, allergies (过敏) or, more seriously, an infection. 【1】 They might help explain why it’s happening.
Watering due to weather
Changes in seasons typically can cause changes to the eye due to the amount of humidity in the air and allergens. As winter approaches and we increase heat at home, work and in the car, the air loses humidity, which causes the eye to become very dry. 【2】 But the type of tear produced doesn’t help lubricate (润滑) the eye and results in watering of these extra tears.
Pink eye
Pink eye is one of the most frustrating eye conditions. It commonly causes red and very watery eyes. 【3】 It is contagious (接触传染的) and can lake multiple weeks to resolve. Unfortunately, since pink eye is usually caused by a virus, no antibiotic eye drop can resolve the condition.
Watering and dry eye
【4】 Tears are made of three ingredients and, if there’s an imbalance in these, the tears won’t stay on the eye and will result in watering. Most commonly, it’s because the oil layer of the tears is lacking.
Eye scratches
A scratch on the cornea (角膜) is extremely painful and will cause redness, blurred vision and watering. The cornea is one of the most sensitive parts of the body and usually heals quickly with appropriate treatment. If you think your eye is scratched, it’s best to see your eye doctor as soon as possible. 【5】
A.Otherwise, it can easily become infected.
B.Most pink eye is caused by a virus, like the common cold.
C.So your eyes try to help increase the amount of tears produced.
D.This can cause redness and dryness of the eyelid itself and watering.
E.Even just walking through an area with allergens can cause eyes to water.
F.It seems not logical, but watering is the most bothersome sign of dry eye.
G.If your eyes water suddenly, watch the environmental factors you’re being exposed to.
24、A study led by Plana-Ripoll, a doctor at Aarhus University in Denmark, tries to deal with a fundamental question that has bothered researchers for more than a century—what exactly causes mental illness?
In the hope of finding the answer, scientists have piled up a large amount of data over the past decade, through studies of genes and brain activity. They have found that many of the same genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that changes in the brain's decision-making systems could be involved in many conditions.
The researchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong. The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct, separate categories like “anxiety” has been disproved to a large extent. Instead, recently they’ve found that disorders shade into each other, and there are no hard dividing lines.
The researchers are trying to understand the biology that underlies mental illness. They have a few theories. Perhaps there are several dimensions (维度) of mental illness, so depending on how a person scores on each dimension, they might be more likely to have some disorders than others. An alternative idea is that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer from mental illness in general. What disorder they develop is then determined by other factors. Both ideas are being taken seriously though the former one is more widely accepted by the researchers.
The details are still unclear, but most researchers agree that one thing is specific: The old system of categorizing mental disorders into neat boxes does not work. They are also hopeful that, in the long run, replacing this framework with one that is grounded in biology will lead to new drugs and treatments. The researchers aim to reveal, for instance, the key genes, brain regions and neurological processes involved in psychopathology (精神病理学), and target them with treatments. Although it might take a while to get there, they are long-term optimistic if the field really does its work.
【1】What aspect of mental illness has been puzzling researchers according to the text?
A.Its theories.
B.Its symptoms.
C.Its categories.
D.Its roots.
【2】What have the researchers found from the recent study?
A.There exist links between mental disorders.
B.Brain function has little to do with mental illness.
C.Mental illness is classified into different categories.
D.Genes are completely different in distinct mental disorders.
【3】Which one is more widely accepted by the researchers according to paragraph 4?
A.The theory of genetic influences.
B.The belief of brain abnormalities.
C.The concept of multiple dimensions.
D.The idea of the determined risk factor.
【4】What can we learn about mental illness from the text?
A.Its genes are too complex to study.
B.Its new drugs can be available soon.
C.Researchers are clear about its details.
D.Seeking for its physiology might help.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Erie was a little boy who was raised in an orphanage (孤儿院). He had always wished that he could fly like a bird. It was very difficult for him to understand why he could not fly. There were birds at the 200 that were much bigger than him, and they could fly.
“Why can’t I?” he thought. “Is there something wrong with me?” he wondered.
Jerry was another little boy who was crippled (瘸). He had always wished that he could walk and run like other kids.
“Why can’t I be like them?” he thought.
One afternoon Eric ran away from the orphanage. He came upon a park where he saw Jerry playing in the sandbox. Eric noticed that Jerry was crippled. He ran over to Jerry and asked him if he had ever wanted to fly like a bird.
“No,“ said Jerry, ” But I have wondered what it would be like to walk and nun like other kids.”
“That is very sad,” said Erie, “But do you think we could be friends?”
“Sure.” Jerry said excitedly.
The two little boys played for hours. They made sand castles and made really funny sounds with their mouths. Sounds made them laugh really hard. Then Jerry’s father came with a wheelchair to pick him up. Eric instantly ran over to Jerry’s father and whispered something into his ear.
“That would be OK,” said Jerry’s father.
