21、   Why is poverty so difficult to overcome? Why are poorer people less likely to invest in their own learning and ability development, but more likely to be addicted to television and video games?

In the past, a poor person was normally considered to have bad character or have no ambition. Banerjee corrects such views and explains the economics behind the poor. Poor people tend to live with more worries in their lives, he said, so they need tools such as televisions, cell phones, junk food and video games to relieve worries more than others. But investment in learning often takes a long time to get rewards, while the poor are often impatient due to economic reasons, and their life in the meantime is getting more worrisome and boring.

That goes for health. Banerjee and his wife find that the poor spend the same amount of money and time, or even more on health and medical care than the middle class group, but they tend to get bad effects. The reason is that the poor often lack the essential medical and healthy knowledge and they tend to get medical treatment when the disease has worsened to a certain stage. Besides, they tend to trust the doctors who “give strong medicine”because they believe such doctors are the “good” ones. But in fact,“strong medicine”always leads to resistance to drugs and overtreatment. This kind of attitude, which emphasizes treatment rather than early prevention, has brought many poor people more economic stress and physical damage, and even has affected the education of their next generation. According to the study, children in poorer physical condition tend to spend less time in school and have lower incomes after graduation, so poverty gets “inherited”.

When it comes to finance, Banerjee's research has found that the poor often need to borrow little and short-term loans while paying extremely high interest rates. It is also because the poor tend to take higher financial risks ----they often have unstable incomes and are unable to get working capital from banks, so they rely more on these high-interest loans. And these small loans put a brake on their savings against risks.

How could the poor step into the middle class? Maybe starting a business is a way out. But for the extremely poor, it's impossible to get the capital they need to start a business. In most cases, a more practical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking, government jobs are very stable, which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the long term, to increase the range of their thinking and thus enabling families to move from poverty to the middle class.

Banerjee's research provides a new perspective for governments to understand poverty, so that policies can be tailored to decrease poverty and ultimately eliminate(消除) it.

【1】How do the poor deal with the issue of health?

A.They spend less money in preventing disease.

B.They focus more on the diseases than early prevention.

C.They usually think it essential to resist strong medicine.

D.They are willing to get free medical treatment from the government.

【2】From the underlined sentence, we can learn that_______.

A.poverty is produced by the poor

B.poverty is passed down by their parents

C.poverty has some bad effects on the poor

D.poverty causes people to bear more economic stress

【3】Banerjee considers it difficult to overcome poverty because________.

A.the poor have bad character or have no ambition

B.the poor prefer to invest in business rather than work

C.the government hasn’t taken proper and effective measure

D.the poor were troubled by their lives, health and finance

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.The poor have attached importance to education.

B.The government can’t provide the jobs for the poor.

C.All the poor need to start a business for their survival.

D.Banerjee's research is helpful for the government to rid of poverty.

22、   For all its drawbacks, aging brings a benefit: social relationships generally improve. Older individuals have fewer but closer friendships, avoid conflicts, and are more optimistic compared with younger adults. Now, 20 years of data on chimpanzees suggest they, too, develop more meaningful friendships as they age.

“The finding challenges a long-standing assumption that humans mellow (成熟) with age because we are aware of our approaching death.” said Zarin Machanda, a professor at Tufts University. But finding the same pattern in chimps suggests a simpler explanation: It could be an evolved trait found in a wider range of species. Zarin and her colleagues gathered data from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project, which has tracked wild chimpanzee behavior in Uganda’s Kibale National Park since 1987. Because chimps are socially similar to humans — they live in large groups and engage in both cooperative and antagonistic (敌对的) relationships throughout their lives — they serve as an ideal test group for studying changes in social behavior. The researchers zeroed in on the males, who had more purely peer-to-peer relationships than females.

Combing through 21 years of behavioral logs on 21 chimps aged 15 through 58, the researchers found that older males (aged 35 and up) had more mutual friendships than younger ones. Older “friends” would sit together and groom one another on a regular basis, whereas younger chimps were more likely to engage in one-sided relationships, in which they groomed preferred elders who rarely returned the favor. As males age and fall in rank, they stop competing for dominance and “tend to give up”. Forming these cooperative relationships with peers could help older males maintain their status, helping them fend off challenges by younger and fitter chimps.

The team are eager to see whether other chimpanzee groups—and female chimpanzees—also experience this mellowing with age. Machanda says the theory could also be tested in other long-lived social species. Next, however, the team will take a deeper look at how social bonds might benefit aging chimps - and whether the same mechanisms could be at work in humans. “There is a lot more to learn,” Machanda says.

【1】The author writes Paragraph 1 to ________

A．introduce the topic about the finding on chimps.

B．compare chimps with humans in social behaviors.

C．show that humans mature as they age is a mere misunderstanding.

D．stress that aging is very terrifying not only for humans but also for animals.

【2】Why did Machanda and her team choose chimpanzee as the test group of their study?

A．Because chimps look like humans in so many ways.

B．Because chimps are easy to track down in the wild.

C．Because chimps bear resemblance to humans in social behaviors.

D．Because chimps live in large groups together throughout their lives.

【3】What do we know about the findings?

A．It took the researchers 21 years to study the elderly chimps.

B．Older males exhibit mutual friendship among the group.

C．Younger males prefer to groom the elders because they respect them.

D．Elderly chimps will continue to fight to maintain their status as they age.

【4】Which of the following might Machanda agree with?

A．There’s no need to study the female chimpanzees for the theory.

B．It would be better to test other species who live a short life as well.

C．They have learned fairly enough about how aging affects animal behaviors.

D．The study on aging chimps would help better understand human interactions.

23、Noise pollution is one of the serious yet least recognized health threats of our time. Noise increase risks of heart disease, cognitive damage and developmental delays. Now, scientists are revealing that non-humans, too, suffer from noise pollution and that they are far more sensitive than humans. Also, marine animals see and sense the world through sound, which travels farther underwater than light. But scientists are now revealing that a vast range of marine creatures are extremely sensitive to sound. The range of negative effects caused by marine noise pollution is astonishing: delayed development, slow growth etc.

Aquatic (水生的) plants are highly sensitive to sound. Take marine seagrass for example, just like forests on land, seagrass is a carbon sink, contributing to stabilizing our global climate. In the past few decades, seagrass meadows the size of the Amazon have vanished. Climate change, pollution, boat anchors and the building of seawalls and harbors are all likely factors. As researchers at the Technical University of Catalonia have recently discovered, we can now add noise pollution to this list of threats. When the scientists exposed a sample of Mediterranean seagrass to powerful blast-level sound, the seagrass was severely damaged.

Their sensitive hearing is an advantage in the dark depths of the ocean, but it makes aquatic organisms very vulnerable. Loud underwater sounds can damage or destroy their hearing ability. These effects occur at much lower intensities (强度) of sound than are known to be damaging to animals on land.

These findings stress the vast threat that marine noise pollution poses to our oceans. As offshore operations - from seabed mining to oil and gas and renewable energy construction - are increasing, little thought has been given to noise pollution. While exposure limitation levels haven’t yet been determined, it is clear that this emerging science will lead to new restrictions on the permitting and operations of marine industrial and shipping activities.

【1】What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?

A．Noise pollution is the most serious pollution.

B．Noise pollution hardly influences marine creatures .

C．Noise pollution is regarded as the cause of diseases.

D．Noise pollution harms humans and marine creatures.

【2】What is the function of marine seagrass?

A．It has high sensitivity to light.

B．It can keep global climate stable.

C．It can adjust aquatic organisms.

D．It has weak hearing ability.

【3】Why is aquatic plants’ hearing ability easily damaged?

A．Because it’s sensitive to the intensities of underwater sounds.

B．Because humans have developed oceans quickly.

C．Because there is lack of light in the deep ocean.

D．Because aquatic plants grow rather slowly.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A．Marine noise pollution will probably be improved.

B．The restrictions on marine noise has been operated.

C．Ocean transportation and fishery will be forbidden.

D．The ocean will be sharply threatened by noise pollution.

24、In every level of education, students experience more or less stress and pressure. Several courses at a time, exams, homework, social challenges, homesickness, etc. are some common factors that make a student worried. In many cases, students struggle to adjust to heavy schedules and deadlines demanded by their institutions.【1】

Exercise

Doing exercise or participating in different kinds of sports helps to reduce stress and allows us to have a fresh and cheerful mind. 【2】Besides, doing yoga, meditation, cycling, and hanging out with friends and family will help a student to have a positive mood throughout the day.

Healthy diet

Many students like to eat junk food rather than a healthy diet. But everyone should know that a balanced diet helps to boost energy and brainpower. Eating green vegetables and fruits enriched with vitamin C helps to make the immune system stronger and more effective. 【3】And gradually you might become more inactive and unhealthy, which can badly affect your life and study.

Sleeping well

Sleeping can be the best medicine for you to increase your productivity and energy. Even a thirty minutes nap makes one more relieved. In many cases, we see that students packed with heavy schedules and deadlines put themselves in a sleepless and restless state.【4】So, it’s necessary to sleep at least 7-9 hours daily.

【5】

Many students don’t know how to reduce tension in the exam. The key to reducing the tension and stress of the exam is to use time wisely. Setting up a daily schedule for your study is necessary to complete your lessons and homework properly.

A．Time management

B．On the other hand, eating street food or junk food like pizza, or burger makes you overweight.

C．Here are some tips on how to reduce stress for students.

D．But it is very harmful to both body and mind.

E．Students should have enough sleep and sports every day.

F．Stress reduction.

G．Walking thirty minutes daily or doing everyday workouts helps to feel better.
