21、You open your eyes and mouth wide if you see a live rat in your bedroom but you wrinkle your nose and narrow your eyes if you see a dead one in the road. Why is that? Facial expressions are usually thought of as simple tools of communication. But in his book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, Charles Darwin proposed that they may prepare us to react to different situations when he noticed that some expressions seemed to be used across cultures and even species. Now Joshua Susskind and his colleagues at the University of Toronto, Canada, have put that idea to the test.
Susskind’s team wondered whether the expressions of fear might improve how sensory (感官的) information is acquired and so sharpen senses. Conversely disgust (厌恶) might weaken the senses, sheltering us from unpleasant sights and smells.
The researchers asked volunteers to complete various tests while holding a fearful, disgusted or neutral expression. In one test, they had to identify when a spot entered their sight. In another they were required to shift their focus as quickly as possible between two targets on a computer screen. It was also measured how much air the volunteers breathed in while expressing fear and disgust.
In each case the wide-eyed faces let significantly more of the world in. Volunteers with wide-open eyes detected surrounding objects more quickly and performed side-to-side eye movements faster. They also took in more air with each breath without any extra effort. An MRI (核磁共振) scan showed the nasal cavity (鼻腔) was enlarged while volunteers held this expression, which could be linked with a greater ability to absorb smells.
“These changes confer the idea that fear, for example, is a posture towards sensory sharpening while disgust a posture towards sensory rejection,” says Susskind. His team is already at work on experiments to explore to what extent the brain can use this extra information to enhance performance.

【4】In the last paragraph, what might be the new thinking of facial expressions?

22、Fisayo Longe started her fashion label Kai Collective to celebrate all female forms—not just the western idea of beauty. “I feel my clothes transform you into a woman who is more confident,” says Longe.
Born in London and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, before returning to the UK when she was 15, Longe’s original outlet for her love of fashion was her blog Mirror Me. Having a passion for travel, Longe would pick up fabrics from the countries she visited and make clothes for herself, which she posted on social media. As her creations started to become a hit, the seed for her own brand was planted.
“I wanted something I could put 100% of my creativity into, something that belonged to me and women like me,” explains the business owner, who recalls going into a high street store and the jeans not fitting her body very well.
Longe says, “I’ve always wanted to build that kind of community of women because, having grown up in Nigeria, I feel some women are made to feel they have to dim (使暗淡)their light—we don’t realize our power. Things are all centred around men and marriage. I want to build a community that focuses on ourselves and our confidence.”
With no formal fashion training, Longe set up Kai Collective four years ago with money borrowed from her mum. Longe is the first to admit she was rather “naive” when she started, giving an example of heading to Turkey with her mother to find a company to produce her designs. “That’s not the way to find producers,” she says. “It’s much better to go to trade shows.”
But whatever she’s doing, it’s obviously working, with the brand featured in an Elle magazine cover shoot with the model Adwoa Aboah, as well as in Beyonce’s black-owned businesses list.
【1】How did Longe express her love of fashion at first?
A．By setting up her own brand.
B．By making her clothes while travelling.
C．By visiting high street stores frequently.
D．By putting her designs on social media.
【2】What is Longe trying to do?
A．To help women realize their dreams.
B．To stress women’s role in a community.
C．To inspire women to live independently.
D．To encourage women to find their own value.
【3】What can we learn about Longe when she first started her business?
A．She was afraid of failure.
B．She got formal fashion training.
C．She lacked relevant experience.
D．She hunted for producers at trade shows.
【4】What does the last paragraph want to tell us about Longe?
A．She is on the right track.
B．She will never give up.
C．She has great ambitions.
D．She is really hard-working.
23、 Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US, the government politely paid no.
“We don’t know whether the food is safe,” said Zambia’s commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel.
His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America’s genetically modified（GM，转基因的）crops. Just last week, EU（欧盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US.
Ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed（杂交） plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.
This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species. They can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.
“If left to me, I would certainly not eat GM foods,” said Scottish scientist Arpad Pusztai. “We are putting new things into food which haven’t been eaten before. The effects on the immune system（免疫系统） are not easy to predict.”
At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.
Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.
【1】We learn from the passage .
A.people have discovered that GM foods will do harm to human health
B.millions of Zambia people die of eating too much GM foods
C.people are still not sure if GM foods will do harm to human health
D.genetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later
【2】What does “in two minds” in the third paragraph mean?
A.Unsure B.Worried
C.Likely D.Careless
【3】The following statements is NOT true about GM foods?
A.It is produced from plants added genes from other species.
B.GM foods can have special characteristics.
C.GM foods will affect people’s immune system.
D.GM foods have been produced since 1970s.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude?
A.Supportive. B.Neutral.
C.Doubtful. D.Critical.
24、
Disasters can happen when people launch an unmanned flying gadget like a drone without knowing how to really control it. 【1】 A falling drone can do serious damage to buildings and people.
One terrible accident happened when an operator lost control of a drone. The drone pilot was flying the gadget by his home when its rotors (旋翼) hit tree. The drone went out of control, falling into neighbour’s backyard where a young child was playing. The rotors were still spinning fast and a blade struck the child. 【2】
Sometimes drones can just fly away quickly or drift away with the wind for many different reasons. The software that has been loaded into the drone could break down, or the Global Positioning System (GPS) could be faulty. 【3】 Drone makers are trying to work out ways to stop these things happening.
【4】 People have tried to catch them in giant nets, but this can cause more problems than the rogue drone itself. In some countries, eagles are taught to identify drone as prey. Then they swoop down and grab the drone from the sky with their long, strong claws. When they take the drone to a safe place, they are rewarded for their efforts.
Drones can be harmful, having caused a lot of serious damage to buildings and people. 【5】 At a sports event, drones can be used to give spectators a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing. They are also becoming a useful tool for firefighters, helping them spot wildfires and even assisting to fight them. Drones can spy on populations of animals in the wild, especially endangered ones. In some very remote places in the world, drones are the fastest way to deliver medicine to people who need it desperately.
A．However, they can also be very helpful.
B．Sadly, this little boy lost his sight in one eye.
C．However, this is not just the end to the disaster.
D．Trying to get a drone out of the sky can be difficult.
E．So drones should be banned and only used by governments.
F．Drones can become flyaways, caught up in a jet stream and blown away.
G．All of above would cause the drone to lose its connection with the controller.
