22、Living downstream from a waste-treatment plant can leave fish tired, a new study finds, led by Graham Scott, a biologist in Canada. “Wastewater treatment plants are pretty good at taking out the waste and treating it before it gets into our waterways,” he said. “But not everything can be taken out,” he added.

For example, some plants beside the stream were not designed to remove remains of drugs. So when some medicines are left over after people use them, they can be released into the environment. These include the drugs used to treat depression and high blood pressure.

Life-sustaining chemical reactions in an animal’s body (including ours) allow it to grow, move and reproduce. These reactions, taken together, are known as the creature’s metabolism (新陈代谢). Some studies have shown that even just one drug can change the metabolism of fish, making their metabolism slow down. Then that will impair their bodies.

That creates a problem for the animals—using the extra energy to rid their bodies of the pollutants which can damage their cells and tissues. “That’s energy they burn just to stay alive,” explained Scott. That is also the energy no longer available to avoid predators (天敌), to find food and to mate.

And they report that fish exposed to a mix of chemicals can use up some of their energy just to deal with those pollutants. Therefore, they will have less energy to eat and avoid being eaten, says Paul Craig, a biologist in Ontario.

“It is up to us to help reduce the types of pollutants in. wastewater,” Craig says. “That includes not throwing leftover medicines down the toilet.” he recommends.

【1】What do Scott’s words mean in paragraph 1?

A．There are still some pollutants in the treated water.

B．Wastewater treatment plants don’t work well.

C．Things in waterways are difficult to deal with.

D．Canadians tend to throw waste down the toilet.

【2】What does the underlined word “impair” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Form.

B．Harm.

C．Benefit.

D．Examine.

【3】What will happen if fish are exposed to a mix of chemicals?

A．They will stop growing.

B．They will avoid their mates.

C．They will have to rid their bodies of the polluted cells.

D．They will consume extra energy to survive.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To explain how pollutants affect animals.

B．To show ways of fighting against pollution.

C．To advise people to stop buying polluted fish.

D．To urge people to reduce pollutants in wastewater.

23、   It is generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner character,but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are,as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern.By observing our own behavior,we can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover,we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren’t there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner character.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut’s advice:“We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

【1】According to the text,personalities and attitudes ______.

A.result from one’s habits

B.affect one’s surroundings

C.reflect one’s taste

D.determine one’s behavior

【2】Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?

A.The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty.

B.A kind person will offer his seat to senior citizens.

C.One recycles plastics to reduce the carbon footprints.

D.One buys latte due to his deep affection for coffee.

【3】Which of the following best explains the underlined word “compliance” in Paragraph 4?

A.Harmony. B.Challenge.

C.Strength. D.Memory.

【4】What does the author mainly discuss in the text?

A.Preferences and habits.

B.Behavior and personalities.

C.Attitudes and preferences.

D.Personalities and attitudes.
