21、 Psychologists who study moral judgments have found that when people are faced with moral dilemmas, they tend to respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.
In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa, volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the “trolley problem”: imagine that a runaway trolley bus is rushing toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can change the trolley to a different set of tracks, therefore saving the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch?
Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People hesitate to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that setting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.
Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one? According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing modes of thinking: one of these, a quick “feeling” and the other, careful consideration about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more careful mode simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language reminds our brain to prepare for painstaking activity.
An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are associated with greater emotion than those learned in more academic environment. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that appear when we use a language learned in childhood.
What is a multilingual(多语言的) person’s “true” moral self? Is it my moral memories that taught me what it means to be “good”? Or is it the reasoning I’m able to apply when free of such unconscious restrictions? Or perhaps, this research simply indicates what is true for all of us: regardless of how many languages we speak, our moral compass is a combination of the earliest forces that have shaped us and the ways in which we escape them.
【1】In the famous “trolley problem” experiment volunteers are asked to.
A.change the trolley to a different set of tracks
B.push a large stranger off a footbridge

D.Representatives at the UN are supposed to base their decisions more on emotion than on reasoning.
22、Parents can use platform-level controls to set limits on which apps your kids can download. But those tools don’t allow you to manage what kids see on those apps or prevent them from communicating with strangers. In this case, parental controls come in. 【1】
First, two big important rules parents should follow: 【2】 Apps contain default (默认的) settings that provide protections based on the declared age of the user. Do have continuing open conversations with your children about keeping safe online. 【3】
Then, with those in mind, here’s what to know about social media parental controls and how to use them (take Tiktok for example):
Where to start: Read TikTok’s comprehensive Guardian’s Guide.
Default settings: For teens ages 13 to 15, accounts are automatically set to private. Other teens can change their account to public but their videos would be shown only to friends.
【4】 It’s also unavailable by default for 16-and 19-year-olds but they can change the setting to allow messaging with friends.
Optional settings: With a TikTok account, parents can limit the time their teens spend on TikTok, restrict age-inappropriate content and set messaging restrictions. Parents can also determine whether their teen’s account is private or public. 【5】
A．Direct messaging is unavailable for teens ages 13 to 15.
B．The settings are secured with passwords, so teens can’t change them.
C．Here is a guide for using the parental controls in the social media apps.
D．Don’t lie about your kids’ ages when signing up for apps, or let them do it.
E．This is useless if you’re handing your phone over for your children to play with.
F．After all, parental controls aren’t perfect, and kids can find ways to disable them.
G．TikTok allows kids under 13 to be on the app, but in a more controlled environment.
23、People who suffer from motion sickness have a long list of activities they are afraid of, and often avoid altogether. This includes long-distance airplane travel, road-trips, and even certain movies and video games. However, if the French company Boarding Ring has its way, motion sickness sufferers will soon have nothing to worry about, provided they are willing to wear the strange-looking Boarding Glasses!
Also called seasickness or carsickness, motion sickness is believed to be the result of the brain receiving mixed signals from the sensory systems, which include the eyes, inner ear, muscles, and joints. For example, when you are looking at your phone on a moving bus, your inner ear notices the motion but your eyes, focused on the screen, thinks you are not moving.
Boarding Glasses try to reduce motion sickness symptoms by “recreating the horizon” so that all the user’s senses send the same message. Though that sounds complex, the science behind the eyewear is surprisingly simple. The frames, made of two round lenses on the front and two on the side, are hollow and partially filled with a blue liquid. Any movement in the vehicle causes the liquid to run around the eyes. This allows the eyes to sense the motion and send the correct signal to the brain. Antoine Jeannin, CEO of Boarding Ring, says, “Your eyes always get the reality of the movement and get a signal that is consistent with the balance system perception.”
According to the company, Boarding Glasses, invented by Jeannin’s father, have been tested by French Navy personnel. The CEO says that over 95 percent of the users reported feeling better after wearing them. People who don’t like the glasses’ appearance will be excited to know that they are only required to be worn for a short period of time. According to Jeannin, “You put the glasses on at the first sign of sickness, leave them on for 10 or 12 minutes, and then take them off. Usually, this cures you of the sickness for the rest of the journey.” The best part is that since Boarding Glasses have no lenses, a single pair can be shared among a group of friends, or even an entire family!
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．Motion sickness causes much inconvenience to its sufferers.
B．Motion sickness sufferers should avoid working out together.
C．Certain movies and video games provide the feeling of flying.
D．The French company Boarding Ring can cure motion sickness.
【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The theory behind motion sickness.
B．The mixed signals the brain receives.
C．Organs belonging to the sensory systems.
D．The result of screen watching on a moving bus.
【3】Why are the lenses filled with a blue liquid?
A．To make the Boarding Glasses a little attractive.
B．To ensure the brain receives the correct signal.
C．To strengthen the function of the balance system.
D．To make the movement in the vehicle less boring.
【4】What is good news for those who care much for the glasses’ appearance?
A．The price is very low.
B．The glasses are widely effective.
C．The lenses are suitable for all people.
D．The necessary time for use is not long.
24、Hearing the news that the Shenzhou Ⅷ manned spacecraft was about to return to Earth, Pan Xue, a Miao ethnic group girl, decided to make an outer space-themed handicraft(手工艺品)with teachers and students from a local batik(蜡染)workshop to express appreciation and respect to Chinese astronauts.
Pan has been living in a village in Guizhou province since 2020, after graduating from university. After studying related techniques, she becomes a silversmith.
In order to make an extremely beautiful handicraft, Pan took every step seriously. She spent a lot of time discussing the fabric(布料)with a batik teacher, as they just wanted to make sure the cloth would be smooth enough. Finally, after many trials and processes, they chose a suitable cloth to draw over 1,000 stars.
When making the stars, Pan painted some silver(银)powder on the surface of woods, then carved(雕刻)them as bark(树皮). She also used several silver bars and filaments(细丝)to make branches, and silver sheets to make about 100 hanging stars. This fine artwork took about five days, in which the tree looks dreamy against the background of the starry sky.
“This tree is named longevity tree, carrying the implication of hope, just like China’s fast growing space industry,” said Pan. Pan felt proud to make a “starry sky” with their ethnic group’s special handicraft, and this handicraft also presents Chinese ethnic culture to the world.
【1】Why did Pan want to make an outer space-themed handicraft?
A．To learn about manned spacecraft.
B．To show her respect to Chinese astronauts.
C．To make sure she has mastered the technique.
D．To teach her students how to make a handicraft.
【2】What does the underlined word “silversmith” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．A person who is fond of silver.
B．A person who wins a silver medal.
C．A person who makes thing out of silver.
D．A person who has a good relationship with Smith.
【3】Which of the following best describes Pan Xue?
A．Careful and hardworking.
B．Bad-tempered but smart.
C．Childish and humorous.
D．Dreamy and not practical.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?

B．A Miao Ethnic Group Girl
C．Shenzhou Ⅷ Spacecraft
D．A Starry Sky Handicraft
