21、 If a super-flu strikes, face masks may not protect you. Whether widespread use of masks will help or harm during a worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying.
But it’s a question the public keeps asking while the government is making preparations for the next flu. “We don’t want people to wear them everywhere,” said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Our suggestion is to avoid exposure (暴露) to the flu.”
When that is not possible, you should consider wearing a simple surgical mask (医用口罩) if you are in one of the three following situations. First, you’re healthy and can’t avoid going to a crowded place. Second, you’re sick and think you may have close contact with the healthy. Third, you live with someone who’s sick but still need to go out.
Why aren’t masks added to this self-protection list? This is because they can help trap virus-laden droplets (小滴) flying through the air from a cough or sneeze. Simple surgical masks only remove the larger droplets. Besides, the CDC is afraid masks may create a false sense of security. Perhaps someone who should have stayed at home would wear a badly-fitting mask and step on the subway instead.
Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand, then touches a handle or subway pole. If you touch that spot next and then put germy (带有细菌的) hands on your nose or mouth, you’ve been exposed. It’s harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask, so your face may get pretty sweaty under a mask. You reach under to wipe that sweat, and may transfer germs caught on the outside of the mask straight to the nose. These are the problems that face masks may create for their users.
【1】The CDC suggests that people ___________.
A.stay alone when they are sick
B.wear face masks when going to a crowded place
C.wear face masks wherever possible
D.remain at home if living with someone who’s sick
【2】The underlined word “that” in the third paragraph refers to ________.
A.making preparations for the flu B.avoiding exposure to the flu
C.coming up with suggestions D.wearing face masks everywhere
【3】One of the concerns the CDC has is that ___.
A.masks may make people wrongly assume they are safe
B.the sick may not wear masks and go out
C.the flu virus may spread via public transportation
D.healthy people may not know how to protect themselves
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The widespread use of face masks.
B.The possibility of a worldwide flu outbreak.
C.New discoveries from face mask research.
D.The effectiveness of wearing face masks.
22、One of the three astronauts who made up the historic Apollo 11 crew, NASA veteran Michael Collins passed away today, April 28, 2021, at the age of 90.
Collins was born on Oet. 31, 1930, in Rome, Italy. His father, a career officer in the US, Amy who’d go on to retire as a major general, was stationed there at the time. After his family returned stateside, Collins earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the US. Military Academy at West Point, graduating with the class of 1952. He then became an Air Force test pilot, which opened some interesting doors. In 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. Glenn’s achievement was an inspiration for Collins. “I certainly had no childhood dream of flying to the moon or anywhere else, but the idea was extremely appealing.” Collins wrote in his autobiography Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut’s Journeys. He was selected to join NASA’s third class of astronauts the following year. His first extraterrestrial (地球外的) adventure came in 1966, when Collins set about on a three-day spaceflight with fellow astronaut John Young. Known as Gemini X, their mission was one for the record books; the two men reached the then-unprecedented (前所未有的) altitude of 475 miles (764kilometers ).
Of course, Michael Collins is best remembered for his role in Apollo 11. On July 16, 1969, at 8:32 AM ( Eastern Standard Time ), Collins, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were launched out of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They were the three explorers NASA had chosen for the first mission that would ever put a man on the moon. Four days into their adventure, on July 20, Collins parted ways with his crewmates. Seated in the Eagle landing craft, Armstrong and Aldrin made their landing onto the lunar surface. An American flag was planted; photos were taken; Armstrong said the immortal words, “ One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. ”
Meanwhile, Collins stayed behind in the crew’s command module (舱), orbiting the moon as his colleagues explored it.
【1】What motivated Collins to dream of flying to the moon?
A．His father’s encouragement.
B．John Glenn’s achievement.
C．His childhood experiences.
D．His favorite book.
【2】What can we learn about Collins from paragraph 2?
A．He became the first American to orbit Earth.
B．He dreamed of flying to the moon in his childhood.
C．His first space exploration was accomplished by himself.
D．He once wrote an autobiography.
【3】Why is Collins best-known many people until now?
A．He was praised by Armstrong.
B．He became an Air Force test pilot.
C．He participated in the work of Apollo 11.
D．He reached the then-unprecedented altitude of 475 miles.
【4】Which word can be best used to describe Collins?
A．Ambitious.
B．Lucky.
C．Warmhearted.
D．Humorous.
23、Why do people read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful? Because humans have an intense need to resolve uncertainty according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will seek to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will hurt.
In a series of experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin school of Business tested students willingness to expose themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity. For one trial, each participant was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment. The twist? Half of the pens would deliver an electric shock when clicked. Twenty-seven students were told which pens were electrified, another half were told only that some were electrified. When left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and suffered more shocks than the students who knew that would occur.
Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other irritants, such as the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.
“The drive to discover is deeply rooted in humans, much the same as the basic drives for food or shelter, “says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago. “Curiosity is often considered a good instinct — it can lead to new scientific advances, for instance — but sometimes such inquiry can backfire. ”The insight that unhealthy curiosity can drive you to do self- destructive things is a profound one.
In a final experiment, participants who were encouraged to predict how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to choose to see such an image. These results suggest that imagining the outcome of following through on one’s curiosity ahead of time can help determine whether it is worth the endeavor. “Thinking about long-term consequences is key to reducing the possible negative effects of curiosity,” Hsee says. In other words, don’t read online comments.
【1】What can we learn about the experiment by behavioral scientists in paragraph 2?
A．The total of the subjects is 27.
B．All the pens were not electrified.
C．Equally many shocks happened to all the subjects.
D．No subjects were exposed to the pens previously.
【2】What does the underlined word “irritants” in paragraph 3 mean?

B．Solutions.
C．Criteria.
D．Purposes.
【3】What is the attitude of Christopher Hsee towards curiosity?
A．Approving.
B．Dismissive.
C．Doubtful.
D．Objective.
【4】What is paragraph 5 of the text mainly about?
A．The cause of unhealthy curiosity.
B．The negative impact of unhealthy curiosity.
C．The underlying feature of unhealthy curiosity.
D．The practical measure to resist unhealthy curiosity.
24、Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
【1】 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 【2】
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
【3】 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “【4】 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 【5】
A．In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
B．They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.
C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.
D．Anger may cause you a cancer.
E．Do not express your anger while angry.
F．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.
G．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
