21、   Suppose you placed a baby in a room with a snake and a spider. Would he play with these creatures? Researchers in the study of fear are actively looking into it.

A fear of snake is one of the most common and strongest fears in the world, according to fear researcher, Judy Deloache, of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, the US, who was not involved in the new study.

Many people believe that we are innately (天生) scared of them, because some snakes are deadly. Seemingly in line with that, 11-month-old babies were shown images of a snake paired with either a fearful or a happy voice. The babies looked at the snakes for longer when a fearful voice was presented than when a happy voice was head. However, the study was not hard proof.

Now, a new study is re-assessing how babies react to snakes. The team measured babies physiological responses (生理反应) as they watched videos of snakes and elephants, paired with both fearful and happy voices. They then set out to startle the babies to see how they would react. They presented them with a “startle research”, which in this case was an unexpected bright flash of light as they watched a video.

“What we found is that their startle responses were not bigger when watching a video of a snake than watching a video of an elephant, even when paired with a fearful voice,” says co-author, Vansessa Lobue, at Rutgers University in New Jersey, the US. Instead, the babies’ startle response was actually lower. Their heart response was also lower, which also indicates that babies were not scared. In other words, though the babies paid more attention to the snakes, this did not cause fear.

Children do not have an innate fear of snakes, agrees Deloache. “It’s not proper to have any hard-wired (硬连线的) fear,” she says, because it would limit a baby’s desire to explore new things.

【1】The study mentioned in the third paragraph was designed to test whether________.

A．snakes are deadly to people

B．people have an innate fear of snakes

C．babies are more interested in living things

D．a fear of snakes is the most common fear in the world

【2】What can we learn about the first study from the text?

A．Babies would cry when they heard a fearful voice

B．Judy was one of the researchers in the study.

C．The study cannot be regarded as hard proof.

D．Babies prefer happy voices to fearful ones.

【3】The underlined word “startle” in the fourth paragraph means “________”.

A．scare

B．call

C．ask

D．hit

【4】What were the babies’ responses in the second study?

A．They were very afraid of the snakes.

B．Their startle responses became bigger.

C．They were more interested in the light than in the snakes.

D．Their heart response became lower when watching a video of a snake.

22、It’s hard to predict the weather in the near future. It’s even more difficult to know what the climate of the coming season is like. Now you know the winter of 2011/12 was not warm but a freezing one/ many people in the Northern Hemisphere died of cold. but a Native American tribe was fortunate enough to survive the terrible winter because of what was foretold by a weatherman.

One day in early September o 2011 the chief of the Native American tribe was asked by his tribal elders if the winter was going to be cold or mild. The chief asked his medicine man, but the man also had lost touch with the reading signs from the natural world around the Great Lakes.

In truth, neither of them had idea about how to predict the coming winter. However, the chief decided to take a modern approach, and rang the National Weather Service in Gaylord Michigan.

“Yes, it is going to be a cold winter,” the weatherman told the chief. Consequently, the chief went back to his tribe and told his tribe people to collect plenty of firewood.

A fortnight later the chief called the National Weather Service and asked for an update. “Are you still forecasting a cold winter?” he asked.

“Yes, very cold,” the weatherman told him.

As a result of this brief conversation the chief went back to the tribe people to collect every bit of wood they could find.

A month later the chief called the National Weather Service once more and asked about the coming winter. “Yes,” he was told, “it s going to be one of the coldest winters ever.”

The weatherman was right! And the Native American tribe went comfortably through the terrifying winter. The chief was thankful and curious. He rang the weatherman again and asked, “How can you be so sure about it tat it was freezing winter?”

The weatherman replied, “Because the Native American tribe of the Great Lakes are collecting wood like crazy.”

【1】The underlined words in Paragraph2 must be a person who   .

A. only has the ability to cure illness

D. modern technology

【4】The chief rang the weatherman several times out of   .

A. anger   B. excitement

23、   Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than during the day. At night, motorists can only see what's illuminated (照亮) by their headlights. Bob Mionske, author of Bicycling & the Law says cycling accidents happening at night account for more than 70% of all cycling accidents in the past ten years.【1】 If you still plan to ride a bicycle at night, proper preparation can help keep you safe.

In many states, bicycles ridden at night are required to have a red light on the back and a white headlight. 【2】 The bicycle's headlight should be strong enough to illuminate the road for several feet. For example, when you're cycling at 15 mph, the headlight should allow you to see at least 35 to 50 feet in front of you.

【3】 Cycling clothing with built-in reflective material can be found on gloves, shirts and shorts. Many vest and jacket designs have large areas of reflective material along the arms, chest, back and shoulders.【4】 If you're short of money, you can buy reflective tape, cut it into strips and attach it to your clothes.

Remain in well-lit and familiar streets. Don't take unfamiliar routes if it's not necessary. 【5】.By doing so, you can avoid becoming lost in unfamiliar dark streets.

A．Choose streets that are well-lit.

B．Besides, they'll keep you warm too.

C．Riding a bicycle is a good sport for teenagers.

D．So riding a bicycle at night is really dangerous.

E．Reflectors (反射镜) are usually fixed on a bicycle's wheels.

F．These lights let motorists know which direction you're heading.

G．While lights can keep cyclists safe to some level, night cyclists still need to dress in bright colors.

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、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Yollie was slender as a tulip, pretty, and one of the smartest girls at Saint Theresa's. She was an honor student, and a winner in the school's monthly spelling bees. She lived with her mother, Mrs. Moreno.

Recently one thing bothered Yollie a lot. She needed a new dress for the twelfth-grade fall dance. But her mother couldn't afford one. "We don't have the money," said her mother, genuinely sad. The best Mrs. Moreno could do was buy Yollie a pair of black shoes with velvet bows and dyed color to her white summer dress black.

"We can dye your dress so it will look brand-new," her mother said brightly, shaking the bottle of dye as she ran hot water into a plastic container. She poured in the black liquid and stirred it. Then, slowly and carefully, she lowered the dress. Yollie couldn't stand to watch. She doubted whether it would work. But to her surprise, the dress came out shiny black. Mrs. Moreno beamed at her and said, "See, what did I tell you?" Yollie hugged her mother in relief. At least she had a new dress for the ball which was important to girls at her age.

Yollie bathed, dressed, and did her makeup carefully until her mother yelled, "All right already?"

Yollie bounced out of Mrs. Moreno's car in front of the school and ran into her best friend, Janice. They didn't say it, but each thought the other was the most beautiful and charming girl at the dance; the boys would fall over themselves asking them to dance. Everyone danced, sipped punch, and stood in knots of threes and fours, talking. The evening was warm but thick with clouds. Gusts of wind picked up the paper lanterns hanging in the trees and swung them, blurring the night with reds and yellows. The lanterns made the evening seem romantic, like a scene from a movie.
