21、In his 1939 essay Selfishness and Self-Lone, Erich Fromm, a world-famous psychologist declared that “modern culture teaches that to be selfish is evil and that to love others is virtuous.” In his essay, Fromm argues that such a teaching could make people feel guilty to show themselves healthy self-love, which he defines as the respect for one’s own happiness, growth, and freedom.
Fromm argues that selfishness, an interest only in oneself, is actually the opposite of self-love, which means the ability to give with pleasure and also to respect the needs of others. To Fromm, love is an attitude whether it is directed outward or inward. In contrast, Fromm argued that selfishness is a kind of greediness “which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy his own needs without ever reaching satisfaction”.
Inspired by Fromm’s essay, Abraham Maslow wrote an essay in which he distinguished “healthy selfishness” from unhealthy selfishness. Maslow argued that “we must not assume that selfish or unselfish behavior is either good or bad. It may be true that at certain times, selfish behavior is good, but at other times, it is bad. It is also the case concerning unselfish behavior.” Maslow goes on to state that what appears to be unselfish behavior may come out of selfish motivations. Maslow stressed that it is sometimes necessary to teach people at certain times to engage in a “healthfully selfish manner”—to have a healthy respect for one’s self coming out of inner riches.
A recent analysis of literature found that people who care about the welfare of others experience greater relationship well-being. However, such relationship well-being is maximized when people are not neglecting themselves in their care for others. Therefore, although the benefits of caring about others’ welfare have been well-documented, the role of healthy selfishness in contributing to relationship well-being may have been ignored.
【1】To Fromm, modern culture teaches that people should .
A．feel ashamed to be selfish
B．be punished if they’re selfish
C．be forbidden to talk about selfishness
D．feel guilty if they don’t love themselves
【2】How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A．By listing figures.
B．By analyzing causes.
C．By providing examples.
D．By comparing definitions.
【3】Which of the following statements may Maslow agree with?
A．Selfish behavior is bad all the time.
B．Unselfish behavior should be valued more.
C．Rich people have a healthy respect for one’s self.
D．Selfish motivations may lead to unselfish behavior.
【4】What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．Our welfare is only based on our care for others.
B．People should care about themselves more than others.
C．People who care about others don’t care about themselves.
D．Healthy selfishness can contribute to our relationship well-being.
22、 Each year, about 7 million tons of trash (垃圾) is found in the ocean. This trash consists of cigarette ends, medical waste, plastic, mile-long nets, etc... Those items of trash choke (窒息) many species of ocean life so quickly that they eventually become extinct. Ocean pollution harms the earth and animals, and we should stop the problem.
Some other causes of ocean pollution are waste, poisonous chemicals, and the biggest cause is littering (乱丢垃圾). How do these items end up in the ocean? Waste flows through rivers and drains (下水道) directly to the ocean, so ocean pollution continues to step up. The estimated amount of ocean pollution that floated in the sea in 2012 was 288 million tons. This huge number continues to increase by 4% each year. That means 11, 520, 000 tons of trash increase each year. Imagine the future of our ocean. Will there be any room to swim? Also 80% of the ocean is composed of plastic: plastic bottles, plastic bags, and some plastic toys.
How can ocean pollution be solved? Use fabric bags instead of plastic bags. This would reduce the plastic pollution in the ocean. Also for the waste water problem, we could use waste water treatment system. Lastly using renewable energy sources such as wind power or solar power would limit offshore drilling.
If we don’t stop the causes of ocean pollution, water temperatures will continue to rise and ocean life will become endangered. Please be mindful that what we do affects the people around us, the animals around us, and the habitats around us. So will you pay attention to this problem or wait for the next generation to?
【1】What leads to the ocean pollution worst?
A.Cigarette ends. B.Littering.

【3】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce what’s ocean pollution.
B.To make a survey about ocean pollution.
C.To make us know more about ocean pollution.
D.To call on everyone to fight against ocean pollution.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The Seriousness of Ocean Pollution
B.The Solutions to Ocean Pollution
C.The Causes of Ocean Pollution
D.The Sorts of Ocean Pollution
23、Sometimes when we eat, what we’re hungry for isn’t food — it’s the taste of memory. Studies show that foods we think of as comfort foods don’t contain any magical properties. What might be comforting is the feeling of proximity (亲近) to other people associated with the foods.
Thoughts about comfort foods are often linked to calories, warmth or a sense of well-being, but what we don’t think about is that they also provide something social to us. People like comfort foods because of their ability to make them feel that they belong.
When Marcel Proust, author of Remembrance of Things Past, bit into a cake at his aunt’s house, he was overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia. Where had this “all-powerful joy ” come from? He sensed that it was connected to the taste of tea and cake, but it “ went far beyond” those flavors, he wrote. In Proust’s case, the taste he experienced took him back to childhood experiences with a beloved aunt, to whom he formed a strong bond.
Comfort foods are often thought of as being rich in calories or full of sugar. Nevertheless, other studies have also shown that the line between comfort and food isn’t as clear as “ junk food = happiness. ” Eating so-called junk food does activate the brain’s reward system, but that high is short-lived. It’s not the deep reward of real comfort. On the other hand, if you feel bad, you might as well have a salad, as long as there is something in the food to bring back pleasant memories and create a sense of belonging. Taste and smell, Proust wrote, “ stay fresh a long time. ”
【1】How do comfort foods function?
A．They inspire a sense of belonging.
B．They are linked to all-powerful joy.
C．They provide the calories one needs.
D．They set off the brain’s reward system.
【2】Why does the author mention Marcel Proust in Para. 3?
A．To express love for a special cake.
B．To share a good childhood memory.
C．To. show the nature of comfort foods.
D．To prove a popular belief about foods.
【3】What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?
A．The less clear line between comfort and food.
B．The connection between junk food and happiness.
C．The difference between comfort foods and junk food.
D．The relationship between comfort foods and reward system.
【4】Where does the passage probably come from?
A．A science report.

24、Barbara, 70, and me, at 71, have swum together for at least 50 years. We swim in a quiet cove (小海湾). It’s home to seagulls, a duck or two, and kayaks (独木舟) on occasion. The difficult summer drought of 2021 brought a burning sun that warmed the water. As the drought eased and the water cooled in late August, we decided to keep swimming. We have both read Bonnie Tsui’s Why We Swim, a fine book about cold-water swimming. We challenged ourselves to swim for as long as possible through September and into October.
I have long loved swimming, though the fear of being seen as fat has dogged me. I am one of those female bodies poorly displayed in bathing suits. Cold-water swimming deepened my sense of well-being and let me use my body. It became a ritual Barbara and I embraced as swimming sisters. When she returned to the United States immediately after our Canadian Thanksgiving, I did not know how I could continue our cold-water tradition. I wasn’t prepared to freeze alone.
But, I had to swim; there were larger commitments I should stick to. In the summer, we planned to cross from the cove to an island across the lake. I had to stay fit. We also planned to host a cold-water swimming race for locals in the fall. We would make it an annual event, improving our strength and endurance (耐力) so that, in our 80s, we might swim through October and into November.
With these plans in mind, I joined my local city pool. I had not been in a public pool for about 30 years. But my body said swim, my brain said swim and my heart, could not let go. So I went anyway.
I am swimming. I am alive to my love of the water, alive to my promise for the spring and the summer that will come. I intend to step back into the lake in May, and through September and October with Barbara. We are perfectly matched in our devotion, and increasingly aware of the miracle of being able-bodied enough to share the cold-water wonder side by side.
【1】Why was the book Why We Swim mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．It guided the author to learn to swim.
B．It analyzes the advantages of swimming.
C．It is the author’s favorite book about swimming.
D．It partly contributed to the author and Barbara’s common interest.
【2】What does the underlined word “commitments” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A．Promises .
B．Preparations .
C．Requirements .
D．Opportunities .
【3】What effort did the author make to achieve her goals?
A．She went to a gym to improve her strength.
B．She became a member of the local public pool.
C．She swam across the lake to the island on her own.
D．She participated in a local cold-water swimming race.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?

B．To express her passion for cold-water swimming.
C．To recommend people to go swimming to keep fit.
