22、The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015.It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994.Local officers explained that the black bear population（a）had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people.In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
Months ago ,the Swiss government allowed the locals to kill a wolf.This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow（鬣羚）, a kind of protected animal.They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development.A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears.His base also offered jobs to local people.
“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,”said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t put either one to one side, as the future is uncertain.”
【1】What does the underlined word “menace”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Tradition.
B．Threat.
C．Benefit.
D．Relief.
【2】Why did the Swiss government allow the locals to kill the wolf?
A．The wolf killed a serow.
B．The wolf was caught by the police.
C．The wolf ate the plants the farmers grew.
D．The wolf caused economic loss to local farmers.
【3】Why did the author mention Zhou Weisen’s story in paragraph 4?
A．To show that animal protection stops.
B．To prove animal protection is important.
C．To explain protecting animals can bring economic development.
D．To stress that animal protection must give way to human interests.
【4】Which of the following might Robert May agree with?
A．Human interests should be considered first.
B．We should focus on the future rather than the present.
C．Humans can kill animals when their interests are harmed.
D．Keeping the right balance between the environment and human interests is important.
23、By now you’ve probably heard about the “you’re not special” speech, when English teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School: “Do not get the idea you’re anything special, because you’re not.” Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony — and a whole lot of other parents across the Internet — took issue with McCullough’s ego-puncturing words. But lost in the uproar was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or accomplished or not. In our eagerness to elevate their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities, a crucial requirement for getting better at anything from math to music to sports. In fact, it’s not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above average.
Such inflated self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it’s often exactly when we’re least competent at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. In a 2006 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most charitable in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor students, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own inadequacy. Why should this be? Another study, led by Cornell University psychologist David Dunning, offers an enlightening explanation. People who are incompetent, he writes with coauthor Justin Kruger, suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their very incapability prevents them from recognizing how bad they are.
In Dunning and Kruger’s study, subjects scoring at the bottom of the heap on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated” their talents. What these individuals lacked (in addition to clear logic, proper grammar and a sense of humor) was “metacognitive skill”: the capacity to monitor how well they’re performing. In the absence of that capacity, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. There’s a paradox here, the authors note: “The skills that lead to competence in a particular domain are often the very same skills necessary to evaluate competence in that domain.” In other words, to get better at judging how well we’re doing at an activity, we have to get better at the activity itself.
There are a couple of ways out of this double bind. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don’t possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific. Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but just what it is that you’re doing wrong. As Dunning and Kruger note, success indicates to us that everything went right, but failure is more ambiguous: any number of things could have gone wrong. Use this external feedback to figure out exactly where and when you screwed up.
If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won’t need parents, or a commencement (毕业典礼) speaker, to tell them that they’re special. They’ll already know that they are, or have a plan to get that way.
【1】Which can be the best title of this passage?
A．Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It Out
B．Let’s Admit That We Are Not That Special
C．Tips On Making Ourselves More Special
D．Tell The Truth: Kids Overestimate their Talents
【2】The author thinks the real problem is that ______.
A．we don't know whether our young people are talented or not
B．young people don't know how to assess their abilities realistically
C．no requirement is set up for young people to get better
D．we always tend to consider ourselves to be privileged
【3】Which is NOT mentioned about poor students according to the passage?
A．They usually give themselves high scores in self-evaluations.
B．They tend to be unable to know exactly how bad they are.
C．They are intelligently inadequate in tests and exams.
D．They lack the capacity to monitor how well they are performing.
【4】We can infer from the passage that those high-scoring students ______.
A．know how to cultivate clear logic and proper grammar
B．tend to underestimate their performance because they know their limits
C．tend to regard themselves as competent due to their strict self-judgement
D．tend to be very competent in judging their performance in their high-scoring fields.
24、 One day when I was 15 years old, I had some friends over to hang out. While we were making food in the kitchen, my brother came in. He placed his beef next to my thick one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to eat; you’re already fat enough.” Then he walked out… laughing.
Nasty comments on my physical appearance were nothing new. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were unacceptable, and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore shorts until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer roasting in long pants.
But then I met Ragen Chastain, and she changed everything. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so energetic and happy in her own skin. I listened as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, just by virtue of the things they do every day — like breathing, pumping blood to every cell, blinking and walking.
Walking! I was suddenly aware of how foolish I’d been for so long. There’re people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs in shame because I had allowed someone to convince me that they weren’t good enough. The next day. I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.
The next time anyone comments on your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s original, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.
【1】What does the underlined word “Nasty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Careless. B.Unpleasant. C.Naughty. D.Impatient.
【2】Why did the author wear long pants during summer for that 15 years?
A.To keep herself from the unbearable heat.
B.To make her more attractive.
C.To follow her brother’s advice.
D.To cover her legs.
【3】What do we know about Ragen Chastain from Paragraph 3?
A.She has succeeded in losing weight.
B.She likes to make comments on others.
C.She pays no attention to others’ advice.
D.Once she wasn’t content with her body image.
【4】What does the author think of Ragen’s original?
A.Funny. B.Useful. C.Unreasonable. D.Conventional.
