23、Five trends to watch in the coming year
The number 21 is connected with luck, risk, taking chances and rolling the dice, all of which seem strangely appropriate for a year of unusual uncertainty. As 2021 approaches, here are some trends to watch in the year ahead.
1. Fights over vaccines
As the first vaccines become available in quantity, the focus will shit from the heroic effort of developing them to the equally difficult task of distributing them. Vaccine negotiations will accompany fights within and between countries over who should get them and when.
2. A mixed economic recovery
As economies bounce back from the pandemic, the recovery will be inconsistent, as local outbreaks and restrictions come and go — and governments turn from keeping companies on life-support to helping workers who have lost their jobs.
3. A less footloose world
Tourism will shrink and change shape, with more emphasis on domestic travel. Airlines, hotel chains and aircraft producers will struggle, as will universities that rely heavily on foreign students.
4. An opportunity on climate change
One positive side to the crisis is the chance to take action on climate change, as governments invest in green recovery plans to create jobs and cut emissions. How ambitious will countries’ reduction promises be at the UN climate conference, delayed from 2020?
5. The year of déjà vu
That is just one example of how the coming year may feel, in many respects, like a second take on 2020, as events including the Olympics, the Dubai Expo and many other political, sporting and commercial gatherings do their best to open a year later than planned.
【1】Which of the following is not a reason why 2021 is a year of uncertainty?
A．Countries worldwide will fight over vaccines.
B．Tourism will continue to suffer.
C．21 is connected with luck, risk and chance.
D．Green recovery plans might be underway.
【2】What will the year of 2021 probably witness?
A．Rapid developing economies.
B．Growing numbers of foreign students in universities.
C．Easy access to COVID-19 vaccines.
D．International events delayed from 2020.
【3】What is the correct understanding of “the year of déjà vu”?
A．2021 will be like another 2020.
B．2021 will be an exact copy of 2020.
C．2021 will be a year of uncertainty.
D．2021 will be better than 2020.
24、They say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But when it comes to tackling a tricky task, researchers have found that getting angry can also be a powerful motivator.
The experiments suggest people who are angry perform better on a set of challenging tasks than those who are emotionally neutral.
The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, details how researchers at Texas A&M University conducted experiments involving more than 1,000 people, and analysed survey data from more than 1,400 people to explore the possible impact of anger on people in various circumstances.
In one experiment, students were shown images previously found to cause anger, desire, amusement, sadness or no particular emotion at all. Participants were subsequently asked to solve a series of anagrams (变形词).
The results reveal that for a challenging set of anagrams, those who were angry did better — although no difference was seen for easy anagrams.
The researchers say one explanation could be down to a link between anger and greater persistence (坚持), with the team finding those who were angry spent more time on the difficult set of anagrams.
In another experiment, participants who were angry did better at avoiding flags in a skiing video game than those who were neutral or sad, and were on a par with (同水平) those who felt amusement or desire.
“This pattern could indicate that general physical arousal (激起) had a benefit for game scores, as this would be greater in anger, amused, and desire conditions compared to the sad and neutral conditions,” the researchers write. However, no such differences in performance was found when it came to an easier video game.
“People often prefer to use positive emotions as tools more than negative and tend to see negative emotions as undesirable,” said Lench, the first author of the study. “Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes wellbeing, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations.”
【1】What tasks did the researchers set for the students?
A．Catching flies with honey.
B．Helping analyze survey data.
C．Putting tasks into different categories.
D．Performing tasks in various emotional states.
【2】Why does anger enable people to perform better on challenging tasks?
A．It brings team spirit into full play.
B．It promotes a deep insight into the tasks.
C．It increases effort toward attaining a goal.
D．It changes challenging tasks into easy ones.
【3】What are paragraphs 7 and 8 mainly about?
A．Research result consistent with previous findings.
B．Potential application of the research finding.
C．A further explanation of the research method.
D．A reasonable doubt about the research process.
【4】What does Lench intend to do in the last paragraph?
A．To present more proofs.
B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To criticize old practices.
