21、 A survey of 1,000 people showed that an incredible 60 percent of workers ate at their desks every day while two thirds take 30 minutes or less for lunch. This means they are working an extra 180 hours a year—equal to 16 eight-hour days. Even when staffs do manage to leave their desks, they are usually on business with nearly a quarter admitting to regularly using the time to catch up with professional contacts.
An academic expert in the science of workplaces said employees were putting their health at risk by refusing to take a lunch break. Dr Tissington, Associate Dean of Business Partnerships at Aston University, said people feel “under pressure” at work, with many spending long hours at their desks, “tapping away at keyboards, staring at screens and sitting with bad posture in awkward positions.”
He said it was important for workers to take regular breaks, get up, move and walk around a bit. “Resting, or taking a break in the middle of the day helps to clear out the mind and prepares us for a productive afternoon,” he said. “The feeling of guilt for taking lunch breaks is a subject that is concerning and probably requires proper investigation,” he added.
Dr. Tissington mentioned he makes sure to get away from his desk at lunchtime and deliberately chooses to get lunch from different places—changing his route to get there. “This has the added benefit of exercise,” he explained,” and, working in a large organization, it gives me the opportunity to meet different colleagues along the way.”
Office workers had admitted to sacrificing their lunch breaks to further their careers. PR assistant Tammy Phillips, 24, said he hadn’t taken a lunch break since past two years. “The way I view it is that I can get on with work when it’s quieter at lunch time and it never hurts your career for the bosses to see you at your desk when your colleagues swan out for a sandwich,” he said.
“The competition for jobs now is so fierce that I’ve known friends who have quit smoking because they don’t want to be seen to go out for a cigarette during the day.”
【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
A.workers want to escape from their work
B.many workers do not take a full lunch break
C.different workers have different lunch breaks
D.most workers are not permitted to have a full lunch break
【2】Which of the following is true about Dr. Tissington?
A.He enjoys physical exercise.
B.He feels guilty at taking lunch breaks.
C.He likes to stay away from his colleagues.
D.He takes different routes to have lunch purposely.
【3】What is probably the best title for the text?
A.Time for Having a Lunch Break
B.An Increasingly Popular Working Style
C.Lunch Skippers Work Extra 16 Days Yearly
D.Giving up a Lunch Break: Risk Your Health
22、There are some sounds most of us acknowledge are annoying: the chewing of chips, the low noise of air conditioning or a screaming baby. These noises, for many people, act as a mere inconvenience that can distract them from the task at hand. However, there are some amongst us who have a much more severe response to these noises. Has a noise ever made you feel so angry that you could explode with rage? If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from misophonia (恐音症).
The word “misophonia” literally means “a hatred of sound” and is sometimes called Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome. There are some experts who doubt the existence of the condition. However, for those who claim to suffer from it, the experience can be painful. Certain sounds could set off intense emotional or psychological responses that may seem over the top compared with a non-sufferer’s complaints.
The sound of people chewing their food could trigger sufferers’ anxiety, or make them feel panic. It may even activate their fight-or-flight response, making them want to run away. In extreme cases, that feeling of panic may result in intense anger and even end up expressing rage physically.
Sadly, there’s no known cure. But tinnitus retraining therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and counselling could help sufferers tolerate noises and manage the condition. According to James Cartreine, a clinical psychiatrist, the condition can lead to separation. Sufferers use coping strategies that include avoiding places with lots of noises, like restaurants, or moving away when they feel like raging against someone due to their breathing.
So, the next time you see someone fly into a rage because of a sound that is driving them crazy, it may be due to a difficult condition they are trying to manage, and not just because they hate a certain sound.
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To lead in the topic of misophonia.
B．To introduce different annoying sounds.
C．To show ways of preventing a severe disease.
D．To present the harm of noises to human health.
【2】Who is most likely to suffer from misophonia?
A．Jane who usually has lunch alone.
B．Nancy who often screams at her baby.
C．Peter who is always worried about his studies.
D．Henry who is annoyed at the sound of book pages turning.
【3】What can be inferred about misophonia from the last but one paragraph?
A．It happens mostly in restaurants.
B．Any sound around can drive sufferers crazy.
C．Staying away from noises is a potential solution.
D．It may greatly influence sufferers’ cognitive ability.
23、From the De’ang ethnic group in Yunnan comes a myth: 102 tea leaves magically transformed into 51 capable men and 51 beautiful women, then one couple remained on land to create humankind after the other 50 pairs flew to heaven.
In fact, the myth acts as the first story in the documentary One Cup, A Thousand Stories. This six-episode BBC new documentary, each lasting 50 minutes or so, was filmed for three years in 13 countries across six continents, giving the audience a chance to examine tea’s influence on daily life in different places, as well as revealing the planting and picking techniques. It is shown on Chinese streaming platform Migu Video and runs on the BBC Earth Channel for Asia as an attempt to promote tea and its culture to overseas audiences.
Shot in 4K high-definition resolution, the documentary’s Chinese version is narrated by Liu Cong, a voice actor known for the animated series The Silver Guardian, and the international version is narrated by English actor Hugh Bonneville, known for Downton Abbey and The Paddington Franchise.
Other stories reflecting tea’s impact include a martial artist achieving inner peace, a key element of his practice, in Mount Emei in Sichuan Province; the wedding ceremony of a young couple in Malaysia where serving tea is an important way of expressing gratitude to parents; and a family in Fuzhou, Fujian Province that is dedicated to producing jasmine tea.
Tea is China’s great gift to humanity. According to the documentary, tea has become more popular with consumption increasing 25 percent in the last decade, and various drinking methods are enjoyed by billions of people across the world.
【1】What is the purpose of mentioning the myth in Paragraph 1?

B．It runs on two platforms with the same edition.
C．It enjoys 4K high-definition resolution when filmed.
D．It focuses on traditional medicine and Chinese tea.
24、As a popular subject of study among evolutionary ecologists (进化生态学家), three-spined stickleback is known for their different shapes, sizes, and behaviors — they can even live in both seawater and freshwater, and under a wide range of temperatures. But what makes that?
The researchers tracked six populations of the fish before and after seasonal changes to their environment, using genome sequencing (基因组测序). Seasonal changes result in great changes in habitat structure and balance of salt and freshwater, and only those fish able to tolerate these rapid changes survive into the next season.
“These changes probably resemble the habitat shifts experienced by stickleback populations during the past 10,000 years,” says Professor Barrett. “We hope to gain insight into the genetic changes that may have resulted from natural selection long in the past.”
Remarkably, the researchers discovered the evidence of genetic changes driven by the seasonal shifts in habitats, which mirrored the differences found between long-established freshwater and saltwater populations. “These genetic changes occurred in independent populations over a single season, highlighting just how quickly the effects of natural selection can be detected,” says Professor Barrett, “The findings suggest that we may be able to use the genetic differences to predict how populations may adapt to environment.”
The research emphasizes the importance of studying species in dynamic environments to gain a better understanding of how natural selection operates. In further research, they plan to investigate how repeatable the observed genetic changes are, by testing whether they show up year after year. Doing so would demonstrate their ability to reliably forecast the evolutionary future of these populations.
