21、According to conventional wisdom in the West, there was little formal law in China prior to the 20th century, and what did exist was completely penal (惩罚性的) in nature. In fact, this characterization wrongly states the law and legal institutions(法律制定)in pre-20th-century China.
Recent archaeological work suggests that law in China antedates (早于) the life and thought of the influential thinker Kongfuzi or Confucius(551-479 BCE). Yet Confucianism (儒家思想) is central to an understanding of pre-20th-century Chinese law. Confucianism held that the “five relationships”-those between ruler and subject, husband and wife, father and son, elder brother and younger brother, and friend and friend-are the foundation of a well-ordered society.
Confucians stressed that each individual should promote his inner virtue (de) and demonstrate filial piety (xiao), which enable him to maintain and strengthen these relationships and to properly meet the responsibilities that go with them, in Confucius’ words in the collection of sayings known as Lunyu,
If the people be led by laws...they will try to avoid punishment,
but have no sense of shame. If they be led by virtue...
they will have a sense of shame and moreover will become good.
The earliest imperial Chinese legal code (法典), that of the Qin dynasty (221-206 BCE), was made under Qin Shihuangdi, who was far more influenced by Legalism (法家思想), a philosophical school whose representative thinkers took human nature to be cruel. They believed accordingly that law would provide a more effective mechanism (机制) for social order than Confucian morality would. The Qin sought to destroy Confucianism-by burning texts and also scholars--but was unsuccessful. In fact, the Qin code reserved elements similar to Confucianism. The Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) filled the ranks of officialdom (官僚) with Confucian scholars and reconstructed and strengthened the five relationships. In a process that was called the “Confucianization of law,” the Han Code provided that offenses committed by juniors (e. g., sons) against their senior relations (e. g., fathers) should be punished more severely (严厉地) than the opposite, though according to Confucian thinking it would be better that morality should be observed and that no punishment need be invoked (援用).

22、We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And Paul - why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car? When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends - or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But lucky dog? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
【1】 This passage is mainly about ____________.
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. why we go wrong with people sometimes
【2】According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ____________.
A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. people usually state one thing but mean another
D. we tend to doubt what our friends say
【3】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ____________.
A. being friendly B. a bit of envy
C. lucky dog D. your luck
23、An anti-obesity program for Australian girls didn’t lead to any improvements in their diet, physical activities or body weight a year later, according to a new report.
Findings from the school-based intervention (介入), which involved exercise sessions and nutrition workshops for lower-income girls, are the latest disappointment in a lot of research attempting to head off adult obesity and the disease risks that come with it.
Especially during the middle- and high-school years, girls’ physical activity reduces obviously, according to lead researcher David Lubans, from the University of Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia. He said, “In the future we need to make the programs more interesting and exciting and present information in a way that is meaningful to adolescent girl.”
Lubans and his workmates conducted their study in 12 schools in low-income areas of New South Wales. At the start of the study, girls in both groups weighed an average of close to 130 pounds, with about four in ten considered overweight. Over the next year, adolescents in the intervention group were given pedometers (计步器) to encourage walking and running and invited to nutrition workshops and regular exercise sessions during the school day and at lunchtime. Participation in some of those activities were less than ideal. For example, the girls went to only one-quarter of lunchtime exercise sessions, and less than one in ten completed at-home physical activity or nutrition challenges, the researchers reported. At the end of the year, girls in both groups had gained a similar amount of weight and there was no difference in their average body fat.
Preventive medicine researcher Robert Klesges said that although some anti-obesity programs have helped adults lose weight, the teen population has always been a source of failure for researchers. “The common belief is: nothing works,” he said. “And we have got to get beyond that.”
“We need to think outside the box,” said Klesges, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “That could include learning from what has worked in adult studies, such as giving meal replacement drinks or prepared foods to teens who have trouble making changes to their diet. Or, it could mean using a “step-care” method — rather than researchers or their doctor telling them to keep doing the same thing.” Klesges said.
【1】The underlined words “head off” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”.
A.damage
B.defend
C.prevent
D.affect
【2】The methods used in the program to stop obesity don’t include ________.
A.walking and running
B.inviting them to nutrition workshops
C.joining exercise sessions regularly
D.giving meal replacement drinks
【3】The main reason for the failure of the anti-obesity program is probably that ________.
A.the participants didn’t take an active part in it
B.the program was not interesting and exciting to participants
C.the participants didn’t get extra nutrition or exercise help
D.the program didn’t pay attention to healthy exercise
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.As researchers, it is important to have creative research methods.
B.Researchers need to give meals or prepare foods to participants.
C.Teen girls have no difficulty in making changes to their diet.
D.Some ant-obesity programs have not helped adults lose weight.
24、When Barcelona’s citizens emerged from a six-week lockdown at the end of April last year, they found that while the city had lain inactive, nature had been busy transforming the streets and parks into a wilderness. “The parks were shut, so no gardening was carried out,” says Margarita Pares, who heads the city’s biodiversity programme. “It was spring and it rained a lot more than usual. The result was an explosion in plant growth. And there were many more butterflies, as they are a species that reacts very quickly to changes in the environment.”
Once the gardeners went back to work, the question was whether to return everything to its neat and tidy state, or let nature take its course?The answer is neither. Pares says the council spent the previous two years working on plans to “naturalise” or “rewild” the city—and was about to announce this change of policy when the pandemic struck. By the time the lockdown ended, it was a lot easier to sell rewilding to the public desiring fresh air and open space. When it comes to embracing nature in its cities, Spain falls behind many countries. But it is hoped that Barcelona’s new policy will go some way to correcting that.
“In a city like Barcelona, it’s a case of replacing what exists with green infrastructure(基础建设),” says Lorena Escuer who has worked in Barcelona on a pilot scheme called Alcorques Vivos, which plants wildflowers at the base of trees in the streets rather than surrounding them with pavement. “It’s not having a park surrounded by asphalt(沥青)but introducing nature into the city,” she says. “People need re-educating. Their idea of a clean space is where there’s no life and the ecosystem is dead. There’s this idea that nature is something outside and that what’s natural for the city is for there to be nothing.”
“Rewilding has made us look at how we live and how we want to live. There’s no going back from here. The lockdown gave us a glimpse of nature in the city and it surprised us,” says Margarita Pares.
【1】What happened to Barcelona after a six-week lockdown last year?
A.The environment became wild.
B.Plants stopped growing.
C.Gardening was abolished.
D.Fewer butterflies emerged.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “new policy” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Returning Barcelona to neatness and tidiness.
B.Filling open space with fitness facilities.
C.“Naturalising” or “rewilding” Barcelona.
D.Developing economy to shake off backwardness.
【3】Which of the following will Lorena Escuer probably support?
A.Surrounding trees with pavement.
B.Promoting green infrastructure.
C.Building park roads with asphalt.
D.Keeping the city empty and clean.
【4】What is Margarita Pares’s attitude to “rewilding”?
A.Doubtful.
B.Intolerant.
C.Unclear.
D.Favorable.
