25、Have you heard of “Kong Nao”(空闹)? A new word appears on the Internet recently. In fact, it refers to some passengers who behave badly by plane and could endanger flight safety.
On December 11, on the airline flight from Bangkok Thailand to Nanjing, two tourists conflicted with an air attendant. The male tourist poured garbage in the aisle(过道) and said something bad to the flight attendant. The female tourist threw a whole cup of hot water over the flight attendant. At last the plane was forced to turn back. On January 10, 2015, a passenger on Flight MU2036 opened an emergency exit without permission because of dissatisfaction with the flight delay. At last the plane was forced to turn back.
These things not only affect the normal order of flight but also have a bad international influence.
The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can take a plane. But many of them don’t behave well in public. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists after Americans.
If you want to change those bad behaviors and become a civilized passenger, remember to avoid the followings:
●Don’t spit in public or throw away trashes here and there.
●Never cut in line or snatch bus seats.
●Don’t laugh or speak loudly.
●Don’t take off shoes or smoke in public.
●Say something polite and do something civilized.
Whenever and wherever you are, you need to respect others. In this way, you'll win compliments(称赞) for yourself.
【1】Why do more and more Chinese people take the plane?
A. Because Chinese people want to see more of the world.
B. Because taking the plane is more and more popular around the world.
C. Because of the growth in the industry and the improvement of living standards.
D. Because Chinese people do better and better in public manners.
【2】________ were reported the worst by Living Social website in March 2012.
A. Chinese B. Thais C. Phuketers D. Americans
【3】What does the underlined phrases “air attendant” mean?
A. hostess B. nurse C. captain D. manager
【4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. “Kong Nao” refers to some passengers with good behaviors.
B. Chinese travelers should stop such bad manners as speaking loudly.
C. Four pieces of advice are mentioned to become a civilized visitor.
D. On December 11, 2014, the airline flight had to return because of weather.
26、Are you afraid of going to the dentist? If so, you’re not alone.
These fears could just be in our heads, however. According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University in the UK, the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries(牙科手术). In fact, among the 451 interviewed patients, 75%reported no pain at all during their visits, including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.
Could it be the sound of the drill(钻头)then?
“I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients. Actually they don’t have any pain.” Hiroyuki Karibe, a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, told the Guardian.
To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart, Karibe divided the volunteers into low-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist. Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.
What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing(听觉处理), which means, for these people, the sound of dental drills is no different from other sounds.
In the high-fear group, however, the brain area that was activated(激活)was different. It was the area that carries out a number of duties, including learning, feelings and, most importantly, memory. This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound, but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past, causing their worry to return.
Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists’ drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed, according to Karibe, because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits. But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy.
【1】How does the writer explain that the pain isn’t felt most of the time in dental surgeries?
A.By showing facts with numbers.
B.By asking questions one by one.
C.By giving examples group by group.
D.By comparing results of patients.
【2】According to the fourth paragraph, what does the word “evoke” mean in Chinese?
A.减轻
B.引起
C.显示
D.阻止
【3】How did the sound of drilling produce different results to the volunteers in the study?
A.It produced some worry in the volunteers in the low-fear group.
B.For the low-fear group, it activated the brain area dealing with learning, feelings and memory.
C.For the high-fear group, it caused more activities in the brain area relative to auditory processing.
D.It made people in the high-fear group remember their past uncomfortable memories.
【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To show us different areas of fear in brains.
B.To introduce us a recent survey by a scientist.
C.To help us have less fear of a trip to the dentist.
D.To make it clear that the sound of drilling is not terrible.
27、Recently, China Youth Daily has done a survey on memes(梗). They find that 67.34% of the interviewees will share new memes with their friends while the rest of the interviewees say “no”. Some people think that memes can create a relaxing atmosphere, but others think that Internet language should not be widely used in real life. Do you think memes can help social communication?
Chen Shuqi Memes are created to communicate with others not only online but also in daily communication offline. Most memes have more than one meaning ,which helps people express their feelings better. Nowadays, memes have become fashionable in daily lives and have made the Chinese language more diverse and colorful. |
Xia Xiaoyu Though memes are popular in daily communication, they have some disadvantages. For example, memes are changing so fast that some people will fall behind. Using memes depends on the important premise(前提) that both speakers understand each other. If one of them doesn’t understand, it will be embarrassing. So I suggest that people should use easier words instead of following the crowd blindly. |
Zeng Xinyue Some memes are from movies, comics and other popular entertainment(娱乐). People can use this kind of memes to recognize friends who have the same interests as they do. What’s more, these funny memes can attract more people to share what they like. If you get tired of a boring conversation, you can add proper memes that not only make it lively but also show your sense of humor. |
Liu Jiaming Using certain memes may sometimes resonate(共鸣) with someone, but they can also cause misunderstanding. Recently, the meme “AaBaAaBa” has been popular. But do you know the meme was first used to laugh at the deaf and dumb? What if you were made fun of? |
【1】Who may probably share the same opinion with Xia Xiaoyu?
A.The writer.
B.Chen Shuqi.
C.Zeng Xinyue.
D.Liu Jiaming.
【2】What does Zeng Xinyue think of memes?
A.Memes may cause misunderstanding if we use them too much.
B.Memes are changing so fast that some people will fall behind.
C.Memes help to find out friends sharing the same interests.
D.Memes have made either online or offline dialogues boring.
【3】What does the underlined word “diverse” mean in Chinese?
A.博大精深的
B.有意义的
C.多样化的
D.个性化的
