21、 What are the things that scare you: snakes, spiders or fierce tigers? Or maybe you have a fear of heights or visiting the dentist. Although some of us just get scared or a bit nervous about these things, for others it can cause an unreasonable reaction that can’t be controlled-something we call a phobia (恐惧症). 【1】
Sometimes it’s good to be aware of the possible dangers from things. Our brain warns us of the risks that might lie ahead, but then we often get prepared and overcome them. Clinical psychologist Warren Mansell told the BBC, “Our fears are rooted in our brains-we don’t need to learn to be afraid of animals like snakes or spiders.”【2】With a phobia, your breathing gets quicker, your pulse speeds up, you sweat and your brain is unable to control these reactions.
【3】 Speaking to the BBC, Lauren Rosenberg, a fear and phobia expert, says, “Phobias usually are a copy behaviour from a higher authority, like a parent or teacher, or a kind of mental suffering from a past event that comes back to trouble you continuously.”
There are many different complex phobias some people suffer from, such as agoraphobia－caused by being away from home, and iatrophobia-fear of doctors.【4】Therapy (心理治疗) is one choice, where you gradually get used to whatever it is you fear. Lauren Rosenburg says she likes to work with people to clear their bad memory and help them breathe. But if you do have a phobia, continually trying to avoid what you’re afraid of by yourself is likely to make the situation worse.【5】
A．Then how can they be overcome?
B．But where does a phobia come from?
C．But phobias are stronger than just fears.
D．The right thing to do is to find help to overcome it.
E．Overcoming a phobia can take patience, devotion and courage.
F．Are there any phobias that tend to be more common than others?
G．It occurs when someone develops an unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object.
22、The confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked my students how they would define science, many of them replied that it’s an objective way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties.
Actually, doubt and science often go hand in hand. Science, when properly functioning, questions accepted understandings and brings both new knowledge and new questions —not certainty. Doubt does not create trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?
As a historian of science, I would argue that it’s the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often regarded as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge accepted understandings. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new evidence arises from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are temporary understandings that involve the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of them are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it pushes us towards a better understanding. Certainties, reassuring as they may seem, prevent the scientific process.
Scientists understand this, but in the dynamic between the public and science, there are two opposite misconceptions (误解). The first is a form of blind scientism — a belief that science is unquestionable and has the capacity to solve all problems. Such an idealized representation actually ignores the universal existence of controversy, conflict and error at the very heart of the scientific world.
【1】What’s the real power of science according to the author?
A．It provides solid solutions.
B．It defends accepted understandings.
C．It discovers certainties about the world.
D．It keeps bringing questions and challenges.
【2】What does the underlined word “reassuring” probably mean?
A．Disappointing.
B．Surprising.
C．Comforting.
D．Challenging.
【3】What may be the belief of the second misconception?
A．Science is unchallengeable and a cure-all.
B．Science is unreliable and of little use.
C．Science is objective but impractical.
D．Science is doubtful but useful.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Why Is Doubt Vital to Science?
B．Why Should We Trust Scientists?
C．What Is the Weakness of Science?
D．What Is Scientists’ Responsibility?
23、Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth’s ability to perform as students. Therefore, it’s important to develop reading skills during childhood. A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction, known as embodied learning.
The research included 149 children, aged 5 to 6, who had just started school. They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds; a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms; and a control group that received traditional, seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
“Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient (熟练的) at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction,” says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH’s Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports.
With regard to difficult letter sounds, she adds, “There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish. These sounds are particularly important because once children become proficient at them, they will be better readers.”
Associate professor Jacob Wienecke, who led the study, explains, “The primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start. The idea is that if, through play and movement, we can learn where their strengths truly lie, we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play, and that’s truly positive.”
Previously, the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement. Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of individual words. This was not possible, which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.
【1】What were the participants required to do in the study?
A．To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B．To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C．To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D．To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
【2】How can embodied learning get children actively involved?
A．By combining learning with games.
B．By offering them chances to cooperate.
C．By inspiring them to overcome difficulties.
D．By explaining instructions to them patiently.
【3】What does Jacob expect of the research finding?
A．Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
B．Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
C．Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
D．Encouraging educators to apply it to teaching.
【4】What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A．Children prefer learning step by step.
B．Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly
C．Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.
D．Children’s learning still relies on adults’ instruction.
【5】What could be the best title for the text?
A．Whole-body learning — a good start to children’s reading
B．Embodied learning — a booster for children’s reading speed
C．Children’s reading skills matter a lot in their literacy development
D．Children’s literacy development depends on the flexibility of their bodies
24、Thrown from his horse three times and repeatedly got wet to the skin while camping in a heavy rain, Chris Walker, the farmer from Gloucestershire was, at 55, the oldest of the competitors in this year’s 1,000 km race across the steppe (大草原). Despite the hardships of his eight-day journey, Walker was delighted to finish third in the annual contest.
The Mongol Derby, described as the world’s toughest horse-riding endurance race, began in 2009 as an annual event. Competitors race between checkpoints 35 km (22 miles) apart, where they change horses to ensure the animals are healthy. They spend nights at one of 28 stations, set up their own camp or enjoy the warm welcome of friendly Mongolian families.
Walker, was an hour ahead of his competitors as the race entered its eighth day but unfortunately he faced an hour and a half penalty because during one of the regular checks his horse had a high heart rate, which is forbidden during the contest.
Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realised that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland, who finished third equal alongside his companion.
“The horses are quite wild. I got thrown off three times. I fell off in a marmot (土拨鼠) hole,” he said. “You’re going along and you suddenly disappear. You have to hang on to your horse for dear life or it goes off.”
Walker said it was important to form a team, mainly because falling off alone means that there was no one to help you with your horse. “Neither of us had prior desires to win this race but we realised: ‘We’re in front.’ So we pushed,” he said.
Asked whether he was attracted to return to see if he could win, Walker replied: “Probably, though I’m getting a bit old.”
【1】What do we know about Mongol Derby according to the passage?
A．It is a very challenging and boring race.
B．It has an strict limit on age for competitors.
C．It requires changing horses at certain places.
D．It is a worldwide race held every two years.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 3?
A．Punishment.
B．Advance.
C．Warning.
D．Schedule.
【3】What did Walker do in the race?
A．He had a very good control of his horse.
B．He saved his horse from accidental death.
C．He valued the teamwork with a partner.
D．He was motivated by great desires to win.
【4】What does the last paragraph imply?
A．Walker questioned the race result.
B．Walker wished that he were younger.
C．Walker regretted taking part in the race.
D．Walker may compete in the race next year.
