第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）It’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.
Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” W hen our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.
A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. So, some scientists call f ood cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.
In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge Univers ity found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.
So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.
1、What is the function of the first paragraph?
A．To remind readers of their own special food.
B．To deepen the understanding of hunger.
C．To report the discovery of craving study.
D．To lead to the topic of the whole passage.
2、What do we learn about food craving?
A．It shows food is linked to feelings.
B．It ensures a person survives hunger.
C．It means the stomach functions well.
D．It proves the brain decides your appetite.
3、What’s the likely result of dieting?
A．The decrease of chemicals. B．The increase of food desire.
C．The refusal of fat and sugar. D．The disappearance of appetite.
4、What does the passage mainly discuss?
A．The functions of brain areas. B．What hunger is all about.
C．The findings of food craving. D．What dieting may bring us.
22．（8分）As a manager,you want to help your employees.And that's great.When an employee comes to you with a problem,you may tend to jump in and offer advice.While your intentions are noble,you may end up helping where it
isn't actually needed or taking over the conversation altogether.
You go into rescuer mode,and it's understandable.You're trying to help out wherever you can.But at the end of the day,you're very;tired because you've taken on more than you should have,and your team member is depressed because responsibilities were taken away from them.You thought you were helping as much as you could,but instead you undermined their morale as they had no chance to achieve something independently.
The easiest way to avoid this situation is to be lazy.Y ou just ask questions,especially,ask the laziest coaching question:"How can I help?"
This is the laziest way to find out what your employee needs from you.By asking something like this,you force the person to decide what they need exactly—they might not even know yet themselves.Or they know what they need and will tell you,in the hope that you'll agree with whatever it is.Either way,asking the lazy question creates a win-win situation,as it results in a clear and direct request that will lead to the solution your employee is looking for.
By asking this lazy question,you avoid jumping in to help in the way which you first think is needed—no more rescuer mode!Asking questions is a self-management tool because it keeps you lazy and yet shows your curiosity.
Be lazy and also be outspoken.Ask your employee,“What do you want from me?”Of course,be careful of how you say this,because not everyone will like this.Ask your employee,really,truly,“What can I do to help?”
It sounds easy,but it can be hard to resist the temptation to jump in and help someone,or to offer advice. However,in the end,you'll find that asking the lazy question makes you more useful to those you manage,and it will help you work less hard and.have more impact.
1、What does the underlined part "undermined their morale" mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Lowered their salary.
B．Made them much lazier.
C．Gave them more freedom.
D．Affected their growth and enthusiasm.
2、What can we learn from the passage?
A．Most people like to be in control of the conversation.
B．It's unwise to ask what an employee actually needs.
C．Sometimes we can't help offering help to others.
D．It is best to offer advice when you're asked to.
3、Which can be the best title of the passage?
A．Being a Lazy Manager is a Good Thing
B．How to Offer Advice at Proper Time
C．Why People are Willing to Help Others
D．How to Become an Independent Employee
23．（8分）Long, long ago there were a lot of donkeys. The donkeys worked hard every day. They had no time to play or to relax, but they never felt appreciated for the work they did.
One day two donkeys got bored. They wanted to live a comfortable life, so the donkeys went to see a wise old man. They told him their problem. The wise old man agreed they worked too hard, and he wanted to help the donkeys. “I have an idea,” he said.
“What is your idea?” asked the donkeys.
“I will paint you and no one will know you are donkeys,” said the man.
The man went off to find some paint and he returned in just a matter of minutes. He had two pots of paints. One pot was filled with white paint, and the other black paint.
The old man first painted them white, and then painted stripes (斑纹) over the white paint. When he finished, the donkeys did not look like donkeys at all. “You no longer look like donkeys,” the old man said. “Everyone will be fooled. I will call you something else, zebras.”
The zebras went to a field to eat grass. Now they did not have to work.
Soon, other donkeys saw the zebras. They asked the zebras where they came from. When the zebras told the donkeys their secret, the donkeys all rushed to see the old man.
“Please make us into zebras, too,” they pleaded. So the wise old man painted more donkeys. As he did, more and more donkeys came.
The old man could not paint fast enough. Soon the donkeys became impatient. They began to kick about, and they knocked over the paint pots.

24．（8分）Could the device, smartphone or PC, which you re using affect the moral decisions you make when using it? To test it, researchers presented multiple dilemmas to a sample set of 1,010 people. The participants were assigned a device at random.
One case of the questions participants were asked is the classic “trolley(有轨电车) problem”: A runaway trolley is headed towards five people tied up on a-set of train tracks. You can do nothing, resulting in the deaths of five people, or push a man off a bridge, which will stop the trolley. The practical response is to kill one man to save five lives, which 33.
5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to 22.3 percent of PC users.
“What we round in our study is th at when people used a smartphone to view classic moral problems, they were more likely to make more unemotional, reasonable decisions when presented with a highly emotional dilemma, “Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, Universi ty of London. “This could be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”
As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions and are asked to engage in moral behavior have changed, and the impact this could have on the hundreds of
millions of people who use such devices daily. “it’s clear that we need more research on how our devices affect our moral decision making because we’re using screens at an ever increasing rate.

3、Dr Albert believes that compared with PCs, smartphones .
A．help people bear more pressure
B．help people make decisions quick
C．make people feel more mentally distant
D．make people stay happier to solve problems
4、What can we infer from the text?
A．Shopping online has a great effect on making moral decisions.
B．The people using smartphones are more than those using PCs.
C．People who often use smartphones or PCs always meet with dilemmas,
D．It is common for people to be involved in making moral decisions in daily life.
25．（10分）One day a professor entered the classroom and told the students about a surprise test. After hearing that, all students were seated and waited for the test to begin. Now, the professor gave the test papers to all students with text facing down on the desk. Once he was done with handing out the test to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.
Students were confused to see that there was not a question but just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed the students’ facial expressions and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”
The students were still confused but got started with the test. At the end of the class, the professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer from each sheet in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot and tried to explain its position. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent.
Now, the professor began to explain, “Don’t worry. I am not going to give you grades for this but I just want you to think about something. Here everyone focused on the black dot and wrote about it but no one wrote about the white
paper. The same is with our lives. The white paper embodies our whole life and the black spot problems in our life.
Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate---our friends around us, the job that provides us our livelihood, the miracles we see everyday. Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships, etc. But we never see that these problems are very small compared to e verything we have in our lives.”
