21、 Diagnosed with dyslexia (诵读困难症), Kevin rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes”, “No”, or “Maybe” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.
In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs—and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.
At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story (创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.
The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.
All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.
【1】What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?
A.To be beneficial to the local area. B.To create a hot dog business.
C.To teach in low-income areas. D.To improve their test scores.
【2】How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?
A.Scared. B.Confident. C.Touched. D.Grateful.
【3】What does the underlined word “kindle” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Share. B.Inspire. C.Continue. D.Express.
22、If We Are Not Just Animals, What Are We?
Philosophers and theologians (神学家) in the Christian tradition have long regarded human beings as separate from the other animals by the presence of the divine spark (神圣的火花) that is believed to exist within them. This inner source of illumination, the soul, is something that can never be grasped from without, and, as such, must be something that is detached in some fundamental manner from the natural order of things such that the soul continues to exist even after the death of the body, perhaps taking wing for some supernatural place following its demise (死亡).
Recent advances in genetics, neuroscience and evolutionary psychology have all but killed off this idea.【1】For quite clearly, although we are animals, bound in the web of causality (因果关系) that joins us to the zoosphere, we are not just animals.
This fundamental question is as relevant to the philosophical inquiry of today as it had been for the ancient Greeks. In a thousand different ways, we have drawn and continue to draw distinctions between ourselves and the rest of nature.【2】We believe that people have rights, that they have sovereignty (完全独立的) over their own lives, and that those who live by enslaving (使成为奴隶) or abusing others are denying their own humanity.
Evolutionary psychologists tell another story. Morality, they argue, is an adaptation. If organisms (生物体) compete for resources, a strategy of cooperation will be more successful in the long run than a strategy of pure selfishness. Cooperative features of an organism will therefore be selected over time. And all that is special in the human condition can be understood in this way — as the outcome of a long process of adaptation that has given us the unbeatable advantage of morality, whereby we can resolve our conflicts without fighting and adjust to the demands that upset us from every side.
The astonishing moral equipment of the human being — including rights and duties, personal obligations, justice, resentment (憎恨), judgment, forgiveness — is the deposit (沉积物) left by millenniums of conflict.【3】It is an evolved mechanism whereby the human organism proceeds through life sustained on every side by bonds of mutual interest.
I am fairly confident that the picture painted by the evolutionary psychologists is true, but I am also convinced that this is not the whole truth.【4】We human beings do not see one another as animals see one another, as fellow members of a species. We relate to one another not as objects but as subjects, as creatures who address one another “I” to “you.”
By speaking in the first person, we can make statements about ourselves, answer questions, and engage in reasoning and advice in ways that avoid all the normal methods of discovery. As a result, we can participate in dialogues founded on the assurance that, when you and I both speak sincerely, what we say is trustworthy: We are “speaking our minds.” This is the heart of the I-You encounter. Hence as persons we live in a life-world that is not reducible (可简化的) to the world of nature, any more than the life in a painting is reducible to the lines and colors from which it is composed.
A．We have built up our lives according to the ways in which we have sought to distinguish ourselves from the natural world.
B．It does not take into account what is precisely the most important thing — the individual human subject.
C．Almost all people believe that it is a crime to kill an innocent human, but not to kill an innocent tapeworm.
D．However, they have simultaneously raised the question of what exactly should be put in its place.
E．Philosophy has the task of describing the world in which we live — not the world as science describes it, but the world as it is represented in our mutual dealings.
F．Morality is like a field of flowers, beneath which lie the thousand-layer deep pile of the countless bodies of prior conflicts.
23、Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.
In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra(冻原) starts has been moving northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this, plants tend to grow horizontal(水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don’t have enough energy to make seeds.
But as Earth’s climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. This happens especially in places where white spruce(白云杉) grows. White spruce, which is a North American trees, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When wind-blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line, they finally sprout(发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming.
New trees will provide shelter for some snow. Keeping the sun’s rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb(吸收) the sun’s heat. This warms the air around. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further increases a forest’s ability to expand(扩展). What’s more, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about effects on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.
【1】What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward?
A. The reducing of northern tundra.
B. The rising temperature.
C. The cold and strong wind.
D. The rich resources in the north.
【2】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. To produce more seeds.
B. To move northward.
C. To respond to the climate change.
D. To protect themselves from the cold wind.
【3】 What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.
B. The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.
C. New trees can make the air around warmer.
D. New trees can bring more food and shelter to local animals.
24、 The world’s two largest pizza chains, Dominos and Pizza Hut, are constantly trying to come up with new ways to keep existing customers and attract new ones. While Dominos attract fans by using high-tech concepts like delivery robots, Pizza Hut focuses on making the delivery box more exciting. In 2015, they introduced a pizza box that could be transformed into a movie projector (放映机) and now, one that turns into a fully functioning DJ.
The battery-powered DJ Pizza box looks like a normal delivery box from outside. However, flip (轻弹) it up and you will find something amazing. To transform the box into a playable DJ, the user has to sync it to a smart phone or computer via Bluetooth and connect it to a DJ software. Once the setup is complete, the DJ can instantly become the life of the party by pressing on the cardboard keys in the box.
As you may have already guessed, getting your hands on this lightweight DJ turntable is not going to be easy. The limited edition box which was shown to the public earlier this month is only available in the United Kingdom, and even worse, at just five of the country’s 350 Pizza Hut location.
Though that is unfortunate, Pizza Hut did introduce a Flick Football Field pizza box for its US fans this week. It features a football field printed on top and comes with removable goal posts, football triangles, and a scorecard. The tabletop game is played by flipping the paper balls back and forth across the board and seeing where they land on the scoreboard. The player with the highest score wins. Though it may not be as exciting as the playable DJ, the game board is easier to obtain since they are available at all US Pizza Hut locations with the purchase of a medium pie.
【1】Why does Pizza Hut focus on new forms of delivery boxes?
A. To absorb Dominos.
B. To increase its sales.
C. To make its pizza tastier.
D. To please British customers.
【2】What does the underlined word “sync” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Add.
B. Link.
C. Gather.
D. Collect.
【3】What do we know about the Flick Football Field box?
A. It is a limited edition pizza box.
B. It is intended for customers in the US.
C. Any Pizza Hut customer can get one.
D. It seems more interesting than a DJ box.
