26、From this issue, we explore why the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute hasn't turned up anything since its founding in the 1980s. (See page 30 for more.) We asked our Facebook followers: Do you think that astronomers will find evidence of alien life in your lifetime?
Loran McCormick: 1 think they already have it. Judging by the sudden industrialization, I figure they found something that's probably been here since before humans walked the Earth.
Jens Avery: We may find life, but it may not want anything to do with us. We are not very advanced and can't even get along with each other.
Steven Buhrow: I think the more important question is — will any government ever publicly admit it in our lifetime? I fully believe that we could discover alien life today and the government would simply say the public is not ready for this information.
Jenna Walsh: I think we already see it, but just don't realize what it is. Intelligent alien life probably doesn't want anything to do with the disaster that is Earth at this point, so no doubt they're playing it safe and observing from a safe distance.
Christopher Harvey: By alien life, do you mean intelligent alien life? Then no. It would be extremely hard to find, short of them coming down to Earth. But if you mean unintelligent alien life, like bacteria or single cell, we might.
【1】Why did we ask the Facebook followers the question?
A．To question the efficiency of SETI.
B．To confirm the appearance of aliens on earth.
C．To ensure the existence of aliens.
D．To complain about the failure to find aliens.
【2】Who doubts the ever visits of aliens to the earth?
A．Loran McCormick.
B．Steven Buhrow.
C．Jenna Walsh.
D．Christopher Harvey.
【3】Where does this text probably come from?
A．An album.
B．A science fiction.
C．A magazine.
D．A travel guide.
27、Feelings are the emotional and physical responses to what we think about and how we react to daily events. Feelings are natural — we can’t stop them from happening. Because we are all different, we respond to feelings in various ways, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively. But if we are aware of our feelings, we can learn to respect ourselves and others.
There are many misunderstandings about feelings. For example, “ Feelings, that womanish stuff. ” Recognizing that feelings are real and natural for everyone is important. Some of us may never agree that feelings are a part of living. It may be difficult for some of us to talk about our feelings. Learning about personal feelings is important in building self-awareness and relationships with others. Most mentally healthy individuals learn to accept feelings, both good and bad.
“Feelings don’t exist, or they are dangerous. So no one should talk about them. ” Refusing to admit feelings can damage relationships. It can also build up emotions to the point when negative behaviors break out, for example, when an angry person hits the table. Not being able to talk to those we respect about our feelings may cause an emotional “shut down ” . Talking about personal feelings with your family may help. But if it doesn’t, you may need to talk about your feelings with someone else.
Instead of denying feelings, it is healthier to talk about them. One of the most important things you can do to create respect in a family is never to deny someone’s feelings. Try to spend time each day, perhaps at the dinner table or in a private chat, talking about feelings. Teach your children by example, like “ I feel afraid that you will be sleepy tomorrow if you don’t go to bed soon. ” Learn to be a good listener and show understanding.
【1】What is the feature of feelings?
A．They are negative.
B．They happen naturally.
C．They are dangerous.
D．They exist in women.
【2】Why does the author mention “ an angry person hits the table ” in Paragraph 3?
A．To tell a story.
B．To explain an idea.
C．To show a fact.
D．To give a definition.
【3】What is the author’s attitude toward talking about feelings?
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Favorable.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Ways of sharing feelings in a family.
B．Effects of denying someone’s feelings.
C．Reasons for having respect in a family.
D．Importance of teaching kids about feelings.
28、 What’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili peppers in their dinner while others can’t get enough of them.
Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love the chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chilies is related to childhood experiences, and that cultural influences affect our taste too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality (性格) more than anything else, CBC News reported.
“We have always assumed that liking drives intake — we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly bothered to connect personality with intake of chili peppers,” said Professor John E. Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.
But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty taste. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.
In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin (辣椒素), the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.
By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.
Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can withstand (耐受) spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, but that you actually learn to like the burning feeling,” Hayes explained.
【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?
A.Dislike. B.Fear.
C.Put up with. D.Adapt to.
【2】What did Professor John E. Hayes and his team discover from their study?
A.What we eat actually helps to develop our personality.
B.Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.
C.Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food.
D.People are wrong to treat " spicy" as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.
【3】Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?
A.Because their taste has become less sensitive.
B.Because they love the burning feeling.
C.Because they want to challenge themselves.
D.Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.What one likes to eat mainly depends on one’s personality.
B.Whether one enjoys spicy food depends largely on one’s personality.
C.One’s personal experiences have nothing to do with their taste.
D.Different people have different taste.
29、 Back in March, when the COVID-19 virus had just started its deadly influence across the country and people were terrified about a lack of every daily necessity, Jonny Blue focused on one particularly urgent need. Blue, a 33-year-old doctor saw reports of people buying and storing toilet paper. He came up with a simple yet clever solution.
One Saturday morning, Blue took a piece of cardboard, wrote “Share Your Toilet Paper” on it in huge letters, and camped out on the street corner. “It just inspired me to remind people that if you have a lot of something, that probably means there are people who don’t have very much of it because you took it all,” Blue said. “So sharing it is probably a good thing to keep in mind.”
The response was immediate and positive, with motorists honking horns(鸣笛) in support. Drivers stopped to drop off spare rolls of toilet paper, and, just as quickly, Blue handed them out.
“This guy said he just ran out and was going to a bunch of stores and couldn’t find any,” Blue said as cars went by. “Somebody had given me some, so I gave it to him. He was excited. He was like, ‘Do you want me to pay you?’ I said, ‘No, man. Take it.’”
A moment later, a driver in a white pickup truck slowed down just enough to take out a roll to add to Blue’s collections.
“People are loving it,” Blue said. “They’re honking, smiling, laughing. It’s kind of a hard time right now. People want a sense of community.”
【1】What were people worried about at the beginning of the COVID-19 virus?
A.Unfriendly neighbors. B.Expensive toilet paper.
C.Lack of medical support. D.Not enough daily necessities.
【2】What is the purpose of Blue’s action?
A.To stop buying and storing. B.To encourage toilet paper sharing.
C.To advise people to save toilet paper. D.To help people live a healthy lifestyle.
【3】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to ?
A.Drivers. B.Letters. C.Motorists. D.Rolls of toilet paper.
【4】Which of the following best describes Blue?
A.Professional. B.Humorous. C.Warm-hearted. D.Outgoing.
【5】What can be a best title for the text?
A.The Toilet Paper Sharing B.Lack of Daily Necessities
