21、An illegal (非法的) building project is threatening (威胁) one of North America’s greatest treasures: the ancient pyramids in central Mexico. The project may harm the remains of temples and about 24 other ancient buildings. The illegal project is next to the Teotihuacan archeological area. Building anything new there is illegal. The owner of the land, however, has refused orders from Mexico’s antiquities organization INAH to slop for the past two months. Many Mexicans are angry that officials are failing to protect the ruins of Teotihuacan, a place visited every year by large numbers of people.
In late April, the INAH brought a report to the government. Federal officials charged the owner with “damage to archeological relics”. In recent weeks, the INAH recorded ongoing building in the area by 60 workers. That information came from Mexico’s Cultural Ministry.
Teotihuacan is about 50 kilometers northeast of Mexico City. It once was home to about 100,000 people who mostly lived in colorful stone houses.
People lived in that city at about the same time that Mayan culture had reached a high level to the south. But Teotihuacan is known for its own art and architecture. It grew rich for a period of 600 years until about 550 because of trading with other cities. It had an economy built on creating goods such as clothing and metal knives.
Officials have worked hard for years to stop illegal building. The building is often done at night and local government officials often arrive too late.
A tall wall surrounds the illegal building area. It is in what is believed to be one of the ancient city’ s oldest parts. A past archeological report said the area held at least three temples and 25 other ancient buildings.
Teotihuacan was named a world heritage (遗产) site by the United Nations cultural agency, UNESCO, in 1987. The naming requires government protection of the area.
【1】What did the INAH do with the illegal building?
A．It stopped the building quickly.
B．It hired lawyers to deal with the building.
C．It reported the building to the government.
D．It helped the owner to work on the building.
【2】Which word best describes Teotihuacan in the ancient time?
A．Unknown.
B．Common.
C．Small-sized.
D．Well-developed.
【3】Why can the illegal building be carried out?
A．It is done secretly.
B．It is done behind a tall wall.
C．It is ignored by officials.
D．It is supported by officials.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mexico
B．Difficulties Mexico Meets to Keep Relics Well
C．Ancient Mexican City Threatened by New Building
D．Action Taken by Mexican Officials to Protect Remains
22、What inspires people to act selflessly, help others, and make personal sacrifices? Each quarter, this column features one piece of scholarly research that provides insight into what motivates people to engage in what psychologists call “pro-social behavior”.
This quarter we focus on how recognitions of “group membership” can influence whether others decide to help us in emergency situations. A 2005 British study reported in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin shows that bystanders are more likely to help strangers in distress when they recognize such strangers as belonging to a common group. However, what counts as group membership is not fixed. When people are encouraged to see greater commonalities with strangers, they will extend help to those whom they may have otherwise considered part of the “out group.”
Two studies conducted between fans of two English football teams, Manchester United and Liverpool. In the first study, Manchester United fans were required to fill out questionnaires about their interest in the team and the degree to which they identified as fans and then invited to walk across campus to see a video about football teams. Along the way, an accident was staged in which a runner slipped and fell, groaning in pain. Hidden observers watched the incident, and those taking part in the study were asked about it when they reached the projection room. Participants, all of whom had a strong identification as Manchester fans, were more likely to ask the runner if he needed help when he was wearing a Manchester United shirt than when he was wearing a Liverpool shirt or an ordinary unbranded shirt.
In the second study, Manchester United fans were again required, but when they arrived they were told that they were participating in a study about football fans in general (not Manchester United fans, specifically). They were also told that the study aimed to focus on the positive aspects of fan-hood as opposed to the negative incidents and stories that usually get attention. The study questionnaires asked them about their broader interest in the game and what they shared with other fans. They then were instructed to cross campus to head to the projection room, and along the way witnessed the same staged incident described in the first study. In this case, participants were as likely to help a victim in a Manchester United shirt as they were to help someone in a Liverpool shirt. And they were more likely to help those wearing team shirts than those who were not.
When people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp.”
The results indicate that when people are encouraged to see social category boundaries at a more inclusive level—all football fans, versus fans of one team — they will extend help to more individuals. Even in a country in which bitter inter-group rivalry(对抗) exists between fans of one football team and another, when people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp”.
One noteworthy strength of this research is that it offers an analysis of actual helping behavior rather than “beliefs about” or “intentions” to act. Evidence of dramatic shifts in such behavior across deeply entrenched antagonisms(根深蒂固的敌对情绪) in response to simple changes in levels of categorization is striking.
Indeed, the studies bring up questions regarding how we may insert more pro-social behavior not only in emergency situations, but in all circumstances. How may we promote a greater feeling of inclusiveness among members of society at wider levels such that boundaries become meaningless, and empathetic concern leads to more consistent positive action? Clearly this research offers inspiration for new approaches to camaraderie building across groups, communities, states, and even nations.

23、 Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the “wash up”. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.
At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.
Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill (法案) that was put aside by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to making laws before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.
As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven-to-11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”
The UK has been in the worst financial decline for generations. It does seem strange that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.
【1】The passage is mainly about _____________.
A.managing school lessons
B.teaching young people about money
C.making right laws to deal with economic crisis
D.helping students how to study effectively
【2】It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.
A.the author complains about the school education
B.the author is not satisfied with the government

D.laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
【3】The website and the consumer campaigner work together to _________.
A.instruct the pupils to manage their pocket money
B.promote the connection of schools and families
C.ask the government to dismiss the parliament
D.appeal for the curriculum of financial education
【4】According to Pfeg, ___________.
A.the parents’ generation has learnt to avoid financial dangers
B.the teenagers will be in trouble if they are left alone
C.teenagers should not extend their spending power
D.75% of teenagers spend their money as planned
【5】The last paragraph is used to ___________.

B.show the seriousness of the financial decline

24、 A thrilling polar competition between two adventurers to cross Antarctica alone, unsupported and unassisted had a happy ending with both explorers achieving the unprecedented feat (功绩).American professional athlete Colin O’Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to become the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.
Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O’Brady caught up with Rudd on November10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O’Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33-year-old spent 54 days skiing the world’s coldest continent while pulling a 300－pound sled(雪橇) with supplies.
Instead of leaving the harsh environment after completing the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world’s largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to complete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O’Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, becoming the world’s second person to complete the solo casing of the frozen continent.
Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a “race”. Besides, the 49 -year-old British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, "I didn’t want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I completed it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the tag with Henry’s name on it.”
After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.

B. O’Brady's sled with food supplies broke down.
C. Louis Rudd lost the tag with Henry’s name on it.
D. O’Brady fell behind Louis Rudd for the first week
【3】What can we infer about Henry Worsley?
A. He used to encourage O’ Brady to explore the Antarctic
B. He lost his life in a terrible traffic accident in 2016
