We laugh, we cry, we turn red with feeling. Now, scientists report that blue-and-yellow macaws(金刚鹦鹉) may join us in this club of

11、 emotions at least,when it comes to blushing.Parrots are known for being clever and chatty. They re even skilled enough to make their own tools and occasionally nose their way into human machines like cars. Their curiosity and courage are what make them excellent pets. So it s no surprise that they

12、have their own range of communication tools. On the whole, birds are no strangers to blushing. Many different kinds of birds have been known to exhibit this hehavior. Parrot owners often notice it in their pets. The motivations behind it are still a mystery to scientists , though.To zero in on why m

13、acaw faces blush,some scientists led by Aline Bertin of the University of Tours studied five captive blue-and-yellow macaws as they interacted with each other and their human caretakers. They were amazed to see that human attention seemed to make the macaws blush. The blushing died down when the car

14、etakers ignored the parrots.Facial expressions can be signs of a human s emotional state. Likewise, bird blushing could convey well-being. It s not quite as obvious as smiling. Still, it s fairly impressive. After all, these macaws don t have the same facial muscles that we do. The birds are much sm

15、arter and kinder than they look. They are believed to be as intelligent as monkeys.Bertin and the other scientists believe their work opens the door to further research. One limitation of the study is that no macaws in natural environment have been observed. That makes it hard to draw conclusions ab

16、out the birds as a species. They are also not quite sure what the blushing means. There is still more to learn about these possible expressions of emotion.1、Which of the following best explains captive in paragraph 3 ?AUnique. BTalkative.CCurious.

19、eling.22（8分） Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American coll

20、eges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26, all of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from. a 2- or 4-year college or university.The average test score, o

21、ut of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.“Part of the problem

22、,” argue the organizers of the survey, “is the Internet.” They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events among all the fake news and trivia (琐事) which swamp (淹没) the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.Another pro

23、blem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did no

24、t know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.

25、Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information for students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.1、What do we know about the survey?AThe

26、 participants were all recent university graduates.BIt was an online survey conducted by two US universities.CIt was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.DIt aimed to find out what the young people know about America.2、Whats one reason the organizers of the survey give for young pe

27、oples lack of knowledge?AThe poor quality of the US university system.BYoung peoples unwillingness to travel abroad.CThe sources from which they gel their informationDTheir lack of interest in knowing more about the world.3、What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey?A

28、Government organizations.BGeographic information.CForeign relations.DEnvironmental matters.4、In which part of a newspaper could we find this article?AEconomics.BEducation.CNational Politics.DEntertainment.23（8分）American women who work as computer programmers, chefs and dentists earn 28 percent less

29、than men doing the same jobs. Those are the jobs with the biggest wage differences between men and women, according to a new study.Overall, the study found that women earn 5. 4 percent less than men for doing the same job, in the same location and for the same employer. The wage differences between

30、women and men were similar in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and France.5.4 percent is a big difference in pay between men and women because it cannot be explained by women and men taking the same kinds of jobs. It can only be explained by bias(倔见)against women, or other causes, such as wome

31、n not being good at asking for pay.Research suggests that women do not negotiate(交涉)as well as men when it comes to pay.And women are generally more uncomfortable asking fellow employees how much they make, sothey can see if they are being paid fairly.According to the study, women earned at least 15

32、 percent less than men in these job categories:psychologists,pharmacists,physicians,opticians,pilots and game artists.But in the fields of social work, selling merchandise, research assistants and physician advisors, women earn more than men. In social work, women earned 7. 8 percent more than men,

33、the report said. That was the job category with the biggest advantage for women. It was still far less than the 28 percent pay advantage for men in some fields.Comparing salaries for full-time workers, women earn only 79 percent as much as men. Over a lifetime, that much of a difference in pay can a

34、mount to a large amount of money.Women only earned 57 percent as much as men in 1975. It is now up t0 79 percent. That isprogress, the report says, but not enough.1、Which of the following has the biggest pay differences between women and men?AA pilot. BA game artist.CA research assistant. DA compute

35、r programmer.2、Why do women earn less than men when doing the same job?AThey dont try their best to fight for better pay.BThey care less about their pay than men.CBosses usually looks down upon women.DThey don-t work as effectively as men.3、How much income do full-time women workers lose compared wi

36、th men?A5.4%. B7.8%.C21%. D28%.4、What does the report think of the womens pay?AIt is growing rather quickly. BIt is rising but not satisfying.CIt is not fair for women workers. DIt is reasonable for present situation.24（8分） Our society is generally becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bur

37、eaucratic management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, Nell-ventilated factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he

38、is bored with it. In fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job; they are anxious also because they are

39、unable to acquire any real satisfaction of interesting life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives a

40、re no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intellig

41、ence as well as for the right mixture of obedience and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove tha

42、t one is as good as or better than ones fellow competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.Am I suggesting that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are n

43、ever solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system form a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption ends in a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities those of all

44、 love and of reason are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.1、By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery” the author intends to deliver the idea that man is _.Aa necessary part though the function of e

48、tato chips, popcorn, and pizza. There is no denying (否认) that these foods are tasty. But often, its the added salt that makes you desire them. Thus, US kids are eating too much salty food.Table salt is about 40% sodium(钠). Our bodies need some sodium to work properly. But too much of it is not healt

49、hy. The salt bottle is to blame for just 11% of the sodium kids consume. The rest has been added to food before it even reaches the table. The following shows how much sodium is packed into a typical turkey-and-cheese sandwich.A turkey sandwich can pack a big sodium punch. Add a teaspoon of mustard

50、(芥末) and the total rises to 1,522 milligrams (mg). Kids aged 9 to 13 should get no more than 2,200 mg each day. This can raise blood pressure, which in turn can lead to heart problems. Today, 1 in 9 children has raised blood pressure. Theres good news though. Consuming less salt can lower blood pres

51、sure.That, of course, is easier said than done. The more you eat salty foods, the more you develop a taste for them. The key to changing your diet is to start small. Small changes in sodium in foods are not usually noticed. Eventually, the effort will reset a kids taste buds (味蕾).Bridget Murphy is a

52、 dietitian. She says kids can try adding spices to their food instead of salt. Eating fruits and vegetables and cutting back on packaged foods will also help.Need a little inspiration? Murphy offers this tip: Focus on the immediate effects of a diet that is high in sodium. High blood pressure can ma

53、ke it difficult to be active. “ Do you want to think clearly and perform well in school?” she asks. “Do you want to run faster?”Zerleen Quader, of the CDC, suggests reading nutrition labels. “Its surprising how much the sodium content for the same food can vary by brand,” she says.1、Why do kids tend
