21、 Dr. Faisal Zawawi, an Otolaryngologist and member of the McGill Auditory Sciences Laboratory, notes that when a person is exposed to loud noises it can cause short-term hearing loss but that under normal circumstances the body typically is able to repair the loss of hearing within 72 hours. However, Zawawi warns that if symptoms are not reversed (倒转) in the first 72 hours the damage could become permanent. Due to findings in previous studies about it, Zawawi says that the team of researchers has suspected that something may stop this repair process; therefore, the team set out to determine if caffeine could be a contributing cause to hearing loss. According to the Medical Daily, the researchers tested what they suspected on female guinea pigs(FGP) (豚鼠).
To perform the test, 24 female guinea pigs were split into three equal groups with each group exposed in different levels to caffeine, and loud noises. The researchers found that the guinea pigs subjected to only sound had their full hearing recovered by day eight. However, the guinea pigs that were subjected to both caffeine and loud noise never fully regained their hearing. Therefore，the researchers concluded that caffeine is a likely contributing cause to permanent hearing loss.
“This research confirms that while a cup of coffee may seem appealing after a long night at a loud concert, drinking caffeine produces more of a risk than benefit when it comes to a person's hearing. Although further research is required to understand the effect on humans, the results are promising," says Zawawi. If the research proves successful, the removal of caffeine from your diet following noise exposure could prevent permanent hearing loss as the body will be more able to repair itself naturally.
【1】What caused the team to do the research?
A.Caffeine loving people suffering hearing loss.
B.The results about hearing loss found before.
C.The finding that FGPs are sensitive to noise.
D.The fact that many people drink coffee.
【2】What is Zawawi's view about temporary hearing loss?
A.Drinking coffee daily results in it.
B.Drink less coffee while suffering it.
C.Generally people can recover from it in 3 days.
D.The continuous noise exposure surely causes it.
【3】What can we learn about hearing from the text?
A.Coffee can stop it from recovering.
B.Coffee Can lead to quick hearing loss.
C.Hearing loss after noise exposure is normal.
D.Loud noise causes people to lose it forever.
【4】How does Zawawi assess the research?
A.It's controversial. B.It's unnecessary to carry it on.
C.It's not predictable. D.It's almost successful.
22、As one of the most popular TV dramas, The Oath of Love — a romance starring Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan — seized widespread attention online since its premiere (首映) on March 15.
Adapted from the novel of the same name, the series follows Lin Zhixiao (Yang), a third-year college student majoring in music, as she meets Gu Wei (Xiao), a promising young doctor. After experiencing a string of coincidences, Lin discovers Gu is the attending physician for her father, who has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. In the days spent helping her father fight the disease, Lin develops romantic feelings for Gu.
“Without emphasizing dramatic conflicts, the series makes the romantic relationship between Lin and Gu more dedicate and real,” the China Women’s News noted. Lin admires Gu for his serious attitudes toward his work and his kindness to patients, while Gu appreciates Lin’s perseverance in the face of setbacks as she tries to achieve her music dream. Maybe it is this mutual understanding and appreciation that makes the love so impressive to viewers.
According to the producers, the series examines the confusion and stress felt by young people in modern society. It also deals with a typical Chinese parenting style, which is criticized as overly tough and strict. For example, Lin’s father, a demanding high-school teacher, always interferes (干涉) with Lin’s future career plan. He tries to persuade Lin to do what he thinks is best for her. Meanwhile, Gu’s parents tend to intervene in his choices concerning love and marriage.
By showing the relationships of the two families, the TV series also wants to present the gap between old and young generations through their different values and outlooks. This is why the drama resonates (产生共鸣) with young audiences as depicting their pressures and longings in the story.
【1】What do we know about The Oath of Love?
A．It is revised from a novel.
B．The story is mainly set in the ward.
C．Lin is an expert in music.
D．Lin’s mother passed away.
【2】What made Gu fall in love with Lin?
A．Her beauty.
B．Her quality.
C．Her courage.
D．Her knowledge.
【3】What are the producers’ attitude to the typical Chinese parenting style?
A．Favorable.
B．Approving.
C．Objective.
D．Ambiguous.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A．A Popular TV Drama
B．Finding Love and Family
C．Understanding the Young
D．A Film Attracting Audiences
23、Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time fighting against the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.
【1】From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.
A．attract people to buy their products
B．provide the latest information
C．improve people’s quality of life
D．deal with cultural diseases
【2】It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.
A．consider too much technology wonderful
B．have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C．can regain freedom without high-tech devices
D．may enjoy life better without overused technology
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?
A．Neutral.
B．Skeptical.
C．Disapproving.
D．Sympathetic.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A．the impact high-tech devices have on people
B．the relationship between modern people and high-tech devices
C．the reason why people are obsessed with high-tech devices
D．how fantastic the life could be without high-tech devices
24、 The habit-forming process within our brains is a three-step loop (回路). First there is a cue, a trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode and which habit to use. Then there is the routine, which can be physical or mental or emotional. Finally, there is a reward, which helps your brain figure out if this particular loop is worth remembering for the future. Over time, this loop-cue, routine, reward-becomes more and more automatic. The cue and reward become intertwined (交织) until a powerful sense of anticipation and a desire appears. Eventually, a habit is born.
Habits aren’t destiny. Habits can be ignored, changed, or replaced. But the reason why the discovery of the habit loop is so important is that it reveals a basic truth: When a habit appears, the brain stops fully participating in decision making. It stops working so hard; or shifts fucus to other tasks. So unless you deliberately fight a habit-unless you find new routines-the pattern will unfold automatically.
Habits never really disappear. They’re encoded (嵌入) into the structures of our brain, and that’s a huge advantage for us, because it would be awful if we had to relearn how to drive after every vacation. The problem is that your brain can’t tell the difference between bad and good habits; and so if you have a bad one, it’s always lurking (隐藏) there, waiting for the right cues and rewards.
This explains why it’s so hard to create exercise habits, for instance, or change what we eat. Once we develop a routine of sitting on the sofa, rather than running, or snacking whenever we pass a doughnut box, those pattens always remain inside our heads. By the same rule, though, if we learn to create new neurological (神经系统的) routines that overpower those behaviors-if we take control of the habit loop-we can force those bad tendencies into the background. And once someone creates a new pattern, studies have demonstrated, going for a jog or ignoring the doughnuts becomes as automatic as any other habit.
Of course, those decisions are habitual, effortless. As long as your basal ganglia (基底核) is complete and the cues remain constant, the behaviors will occur unthinkingly. At the same time, however, the brain’s dependence on automatic routines can be dangerous. Habits are often as much a curse as a benefit.
