21、While psychologists have studied topics like happiness, optimism, and other human strengths for decades, positive psychology wasn’t officially identified as a branch of psychology until 1998 when Martin Seligman was elected president of the American Psychological Association (APA). Seligman suggested that psychology had become too focused on mental illness. While this had brought about valuable treatments that enabled psychologists to treat a number of diseases and disorders that made people less unhappy. It meant that psychology was neglecting what was good about life—and what the average person could improve.
Seligman called for research into what makes normal people’s lives positive and fulfilling and suggested that the field should develop interventions that could make people happier. He stated that psychology should be just as concerned with nurturing (滋养) the good things in life as it was with healing the bad.
Seligman made positive psychology the theme of his term as APA president and used his role to popularize the word. From there the field took off. It received a great deal of attention from mainstream media outlets. Meanwhile, the first Positive Psychology summit was held in 1999, followed by the first International conference on Positive Psychology in 2002.
Interest in positive psychology has remained high ever since. In 2018, a quarter of the undergraduate students at Yale University enrolled in a course devoted to the subject of happiness. In 2019, 1,600 individuals attended the World Congress of Positive Psychology and research in the field has generated tens of thousands of academic papers.
Psychologist Christopher Peterson pointed out that positive psychology is meant to serve as an extension of the areas of psychology that focus on mental illness and human weakness. Positive psychologists don't wish to replace or abandon the study of human problems, they simply wish to add the study of what’s good in life to the field.
【1】What should positive psychology focus on according to Seligman?
A.Solving human problems.
B.Treating bad emotions.
C.Healing mental illnesses.
D.Helping develop good things.
【2】What made positive psychology become popular?
A.Seligman’s effort in spreading it.
B.International conferences’ being held.
C.Attention from the media.
D.Further research in this field.
【3】What is Christopher Peterson’s attitude toward positive psychology?
A.Ambiguous.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Critical.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Limitation of Positive Psychology
B.Seligman, Father of Positive Psychology

22、 A Texas mom named Samantha Whiting is going out of her way to thank a stranger. Although she only knew his first name and where he lived, Whiting was determined to track him down.
The incident occurred in August 2020, when Whiting and her 10-year-old daughter, Hayley, were at the beach in Monterey, California.Sarmantha went into the water to try to save her daughter, but was struggling. Bystander Kevinh Cozzi heard their screams, and raced into the waves to help. He was able to get Hayley to safety, with some assistance from a lifeguard. “He saved us,” Samantha told ABC News. “If it wasn’t for him risking his life in such a selfless act, I would have lost not only my own life but my baby girl.”
The Whitings only learned Kevin’s first name and that, he lived in Merced, California.They were visiting Monterey, and when they returned to their home in Texas, the family decided to find Cozzi to let him know they are deeply indebted to him who saved Hayley this summer when she was caught in a rapids. “He’s one of the biggest heroes I’ve ever met,” Hayley said. Last week, Samantha made a post on the Facebook group Merced Neighborhood Watch, and within hours, she was talking to Cozzi.
Cozzi and his fiancee(未婚妻) had to delay their wedding because of the coronavirus disease, and the Whitings decided to launch a GoFundMe to help them have the wedding of their dreams.So far, the page has raised close to $2,000-but Cozzi told ABC News he’s happier to know Hayley is safe than receiving a reward. He is thankful for their fundraiser, but told ABC News, “That girl being saved was enough for me, honestly.”

23、If you put a buzzard(秃鹰) in a pen(围栏) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be a prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small prison with no top.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight height from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
A bumblebee (大黄蜂), if dropped into an open tumbler(平底玻璃杯), will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but insists on trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
【1】Why does a buzzard choose to stay in a pen?
A. Because it is safe to live there.
B. Because it gets used to living there.
C. Because it cannot take off within an limited area.
D. Because it lost its ability to fly.
【2】 The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means “ .”
A. to run slowly B. to move slowly
C. to pace slowly D. to fly slowly
【3】A bumblebee will completely destroy itself for .
A. it does not look for a way out above
B. it is dropped into an open cage
C. it does not try to find a way to escape
D. it hurts itself while flying
【4】 In which way are many people similar to a buzzard, an ordinary bat and a bumblebee?
A. They are overcoming all their problems and frustrations.
B. They are all content with the things as they are.
C. They choose to give in to problems and frustrations.
D. They do not seek new ways to deal with difficulties.
24、 After disappearing for over 19 years, measles (麻疹) is making a comeback in America. Since January 2019, the disease has infected more than 700 people, mostly small children, and the number seems to be increasing daily.
Measles is an infectious disease that typically begins with a high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. Many people also lose their appetites and feel sleepy. About three to four days after the symptoms start, the person breaks out into a rash (皮疹) that begins on the face at the hairline and then spreads to the neck and the rest of the body.
In healthy people, the recovery, which takes between two to three weeks, starts soon after the rash begins. However, for about 40 percent of patients — mainly kids under the age of five or older adults — the disease often leads to pneumonia (肺炎), which, if left untreated, could result in death.
The recent outbreak is thought to have been caused by travelers picking up the virus in a country where the disease is still existing and exposing it to an unvaccinated (未接种的) community in the US. In New York, it was carried back by someone who had recently visited Israel, which is currently undergoing a significant measles, while in Washington, “patient zero” was infected by a type that is currently circulating in Europe.
To limit the spread of the disease before it gets out of hand, US health officials are attempting to educate communities with high rates of unvaccinated children. They are also urging adults to consult with their physicians and get injected if considered necessary by the doctor.
Hopefully, health officials worldwide will be able to convince parents that vaccinating their children will protect, not harm, them.
【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The causes of measles. B.The symptoms of measles.
C.The possible results of measles. D.The cures for measles
【2】Why did some people develop measles in America?
A.Because it is too hot this year. B.Because people are too stressed.
C.Because pollution is too serious. D.Because the virus was taken to America.
【3】What do we know about measles?
A.It once disappeared in America. B.It starts with a rash.
C.It is mild to everyone. D.It is impossible to cure.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Health. B.Education. C.Science. D.Entertainment.
25、 Once upon a time, much of the world was populated by wolves. They ranged all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well as Great Britain, and if humans hadn't come along, they would still be there _______. But man did come along, farmed the land, _______ the wolves , killing their livestock and so gradually drove them out of the homes that had once been theirs.
Wolves are not ______ in our language and our literature, however. In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous, always ______ to eat people. Remember the time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother? 'What big teeth you've got, grandmother? ’she says, and the wolf, disguised as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!’
If you really want to see what English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the ______! ‘A wolf in sheep’s clothing’ is not a pleasant person and a ‘wolf-whistle’ is not a pleasant sound!
Yet wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and language. For a start, they don't ______ humans; indeed they do their best to keep out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their young with a fondness that should make some humans _______ themselves. Far from wolf music being _______ , the howl of the wolf--the cry of the whole pack—as the full moon rises is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. They can jump up and run up rock faces like a cat. And when they do ______ , their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective.
But the ______ remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonise (妖魔化)the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world. Only _______ do writers treat them nicely; _______ a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to found the city of Rome.
And so, while man kills animals in their millions, often just for the fun of it, the wolf on the mountain, out in the wilderness, running over the Siberian wastes, represents a state of natural ________ that we do not know and can never obtain, even though we ______ it in our hearts. Perhaps that's why, in the end, we ______ the wolf so much一for having something we can never get our hands on.
