grown-up responsibilities.InGermany,“Jugendfeier” is a coming-of-age ceremony for 14-year-olds.They go to school to prepare for the occasion,studying lessons with topics like cultural respect and social responsibility,which will help them become worthy citizens.The hope is that the young people taking part in the ceremony will take on these values for themselves.InLatinAmerica,a “quinceanera” is a celebration for girls on their 15th birthday,marking a girl’s entry into womanhood.In the past,a “quinceanera” was intended to ready girls for marriage andthey were taught cooking,sewing and other household skills in preparation.Today,it’s similar to how one’s 18th birthday is considered an important day in other cultures.InIndia,the sacred thread ceremony is performed when a boy is grown-up.He is given three sacred threads representing three promises he makes:to respect knowledge,to respect his parents and to respect society.After the ceremony,theboy,traditionally,leaves his family to live with aguru(teacher).At this point the boy becomes “twice born”—first his physical birth and second his intellectual birth through the teacher’s care.InVanuatu,young boys come of age by jumping off a 98-foot-tall tower with a bungee-like rope tied to their ankles,just barely preventing them from hitting the ground.At the ceremony,the boy’s mother will hold something representing his childhood,and after the jump the item will be thrown away,representing the end of childhood.He is now a man,ready to protect the family.1.What is the shared eing-of-age ceremonies?A.Having respect for knowledge.B.Getting ready to raise a family.C.Acquiring cross-cultural awareness.D.Developing a sense of responsibility.2.Which app might appeal to people entering adulthood in Germany?3.In which place are things with special meanings given to the young attendants?A.Germany.tin America.C.India.D.Vanuatu.B(湖北武汉武昌质量检测)In the 17th century,the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age.During this period,artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance paintingtechniques,contributing to masterpieces like GirlwithaPearlEarring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the “MonaLisa of the North”,this painting represen ts the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft,a city in Holland where the artist was born,lived and died.GirlwithaPearlEarring is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art.However,it did not attain international fame at its time of completion.That came about at the end of the 20th century,when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington,D.C.GirlwithaPearlEarring does not show a specificperson.Instead,it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who,“like a vision coming from the darkness”,art historian Arthur K.Wheelock eeer catalogue,“belongs to no specific time or place”.Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines.This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident inGirlwithaPearlEarring.First,he would “invent” or create an initial drawing on the canvas.Then,he made a single colored underpainting.Next,he added color.And,finally,in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright,he would apply a thin layer of the glaze to certain parts of the painting.In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty,the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surro unds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa,she is also looking at us,but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting,self-contained,” Tracy Chevalier,the author of TheNewYorkTimes’ bestselling historical novel,GirlwithaPeariEarring,points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there,there is nothing between her and us.She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time,and that is what makes her so appealing.”4.What inspired the creation of GirlwithaPearlEarring?A.Previous artists’ skills.B.The appearance of the girl.C.Vermeer’s international fame.D.Encouragement from other artists.5.What do we know about GirlwithaPearlEarring?A.It is set in the artist’s birthplace.B.It makes the artist famous overnight.C.It describes a particular and eatch for MonaLisa.6.What is the purpose of paragraph 4?A.To introduce the subject of the painting.B.To show techniques used in the painting.C.To explain the artistic value of the painting.D.To uncover the mystery behind the painting.7.How does Tracy comment on GirlwithaPearlEarring?A.By citing a theory.B.By giving a definition.C.By offering an eaking a comparison.C(山东济南模拟)If we jump in the air as high as possible,we can stay off the ground for about half a second.Michael Jordan could stay airborne for almost one second while ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds as they travel about the length of a football field through the air.So how do they do this?Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump:gravity,lift and drag.Gravity pulls any object in flight down toward the ground and there is nothing athletes can do to lessen its effect.But athletes also interact with the air as they move.It is this interaction that can produce lift,an upward force produced by air pushing on an object.If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity,the object can fly.The same interaction also produces drag.It resists the forward motion of any object and slows it down.In the ski jump,jumpers start high up on a slope and then ski downhill to generate speed.Just before they reach the end of the slope,they jump.Once jumpers are in the air,the fun physics begins.They use careful body positioning to mainimizing drag.To dothis,they adjust their skis and bodies to keep nearly parallel(平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body.This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack that will also maximize lift.As drag reduces the speed of the jumpers,lift decreases and gravity continues to pull them.They will begin to fall faster and faster until they land.As you tune in to the Olympics and wonder at the physical power of the athletes,take a moment to consider their mastery of the concepts of physics.8.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Staying longer in the air.B.Traveling forward slower.C.Falling down the hill faster.D.Jumping higher than average people.9.How can ski jumpers fly in the air according to paragraph 2?A.They make use of the interaction with air.B.They get more gravity than lift.C.They keep a good balance while skiing.D.They get rid of the effect of gravity.10.What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the ski jump?A.Its training equipment.B.Its safety guidelines.C.Its major concepts.D.Its basic routine.11.What may be the best title for the tepers flying in the skyB.Falling or flying is your choiceC.Physics:as difficult as imaginedD.Ski jumps’ booming in the OlympicsD(广西毕业班第一次适应性测试)In a medical first,doctors transplanted(移植) a pig’s heart into a patient to save his life and a Maryland hospital said on Monday that he’s doing well three days after the highly experimental surgery.While it’s too soon to know if the operation will really work,it marks a step in the decades-long effort to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants.Doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center say the transplant showed that a heart from a genetically edited animal can function in the human body without immediate rejection.The patient,David Bennett,57,knew there was no guarantee that the experiment would work but he was dying,unsuitable for a human heart transplant and had no other option,his son told The Associated Press.Such transplants,or xenotransplantation,have failed before,largely because patients’ bodies rapidly rejected the animal organ.The difference this time:The Maryland surgeons used a heart from a pig that had undergone gene editing to remove a sugar in its cells that’s responsible for that super-fast organ rejection.“I think you can characterize it as a breakthrough in medical science,” Dr.David Klassen,UNOS’ chief medicalofficer,said.Still,Klassen war ned that it’s only a first tentative(暂定的) step into ee around,ight finally work.“It will be important to share the data gathered from this transplant before opening the option to more patients,” said Karen Maschke,a research scholar at the Hastings Center,who is helping develop policy recommendations for the first clinical trials under financial aid from the National Institutes of Health.“Rushing into animal-to-human transplants without this information would not be advisable,” Maschke said.The surgery took seven hours on Jan.10, at the Baltimore Hospital.“He realizes the importance of what was done,” David Bennett Jr.said of his father.“He could not live,or he could last a day,or he could last a couple of days.I mean,we’re in the unknown at this point.”12.What is the top reason for the animal-to-human transplant on David Bennett?A.He couldn’t afford a human heart.B.His son made the decision for him.C.His life was at great risk.D.The surgery bound to save his life.13.What is the purpose of the gene editing in the case of the transplant in Maryland?A.To avoid immediate rejection.B.To remove cells from the pig’s heart.C.To guarantee functions of the pig’s heart.D.To save time in the transplant.14.What does Dr.David Klassen probably think of the transplant?A.Casual.B.Dangerous.C.Successful.D.Pioneering.15.What message does the author mainly convey in the teals are our best friends.B.Animals may be our life-savers.C.Animals’ organs have helped save many patients.D.The animal-to-human transplant is now advisable to perform. Ⅱ.七选五(湖北十一校第一次联考)The door opens and you are amazed at seeing people jumping and flying around like superheroes.Calm down.You are not in a marvel film,just a trampoline(蹦床) park.In recent years,trampolining has become a new craze among Chinese youths.Short videos are regularly uploaded to social media showing people’s eping back and forth on the colorful trampolines.Most videos feature teenagers. 1 .Ms Shi,a 28-year-old woman from Beijing,goes to trampoline parks almost e very weekend.She said,“When I was a child,I loved bouncing up and down on the trampolines,though they were just small and simple ones.They made me feel free and happy. 2 .”It’s true that today’s trampoline parks are bigger,more professional and more creative. 3 .You can obviously jump,play in the inflatables(充气玩具),or shoot baskets like an NBA superstar.Also,if you’re brave enough,you can learn to walk on the wall.“Trampolining is so much fun.It doesn’t feel like es Shi said.4 .According to Robert Smith,a British sportstherapist,“The trampoline pad is bouncy and absorbs a large amount of the impact of your landing,so your bones and joints are protected and strengthened at the same time.”Unlike playing soccer,basketball,tennis or any other competitive sports,the risk of injury while trampolining is relatively low. 5 .“You must do warm-up exercises before playing.And you can’t lose concentration during the movements,” Peter Cheng,a diehard trampoline fan,who also owns a trampoline park,warned.While outdoor activities are largely up to the weather,the indoor trampoline parks are really good places to go whenever you are seeking a fun cardio workout(有氧运动).A.Nowadays the places are much betterB.It is a fun activity to share with friendsC.There are separate zones for different functionsD.However,preparation and safety always come firstE.Specially designed clothes are needed when you trampolineF.Indeed,a trampoline workout can be beneficial to your healthG.Adults also have jumped on the trend,hoping to relive their childhood必修5 Unit5 阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely t o feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are co ntracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scient ists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contract ion and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School s aid：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we de al with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fe ar as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel s aid，“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when t he heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts c an also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brai n influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of f ear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and red uce fear，” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fea r is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be a ble to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorde rs，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress d isorder.”1．What is the finding of the study?A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear.2．The study was carried out by analyzing ________.A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from thei r brain scansB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health co nditionsC. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart －brain communication3．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlin ed word “mechanism” inParagraph 6?A. Order.B. Machine.C. System.D. Treatment.4．This study may contribute to ________．A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress betterC. finding the key to the heart－brain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads参考答案1—4、DACB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

考点5-主旨要义之文章大意--练高考--心中有数1.2022年全国甲卷之C篇As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witness ing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Try challenging things.B. Take a degree.C. Bring back lost memories.D. Stick to a promise.29.

Unit 5 First Aid一、阅读理解AFrightened. That was how I felt that Monday morning when my marine（海洋的） science students came into class and began encouraging one of their classmates to tell what had happened at the beach the day before.Although each of my students had recei v ed a PADI（the Professional Association of Di v ing Instructors） Open Water Di v er certification as part of our marine science program， I was frozen in fear and wondering what had happened at the beach. Once certified， my students began to use their new di v ing skills to carry out underwater research projects on the coral reefs（珊瑚礁） near our island. Being islanders surrounded by water， my students are taught that the ocean is not a dangerous place， but can be v ery unforgi v ing to those who make mistakes. In this case， my first thoughts were for their safety and well-being. I did a quick head count. They were all in class with all their parts in place. I became less afraid and more curious about what had happened. But I was wholly unprepared for the story they told.A three-year-old boy playing in the water near the shore was about to sink. His family members and beachgoers rushed to help， carrying the boy to the beach， but no one was sure what to do next. One of my students was at the beach that day and rushed o v er to help. She had taken a first-aid course that I’d taught as an after-school program. She began CPR（心肺复苏）and asked others to call 911. By the time doctors arri v ed， the child was able to breathe in his mother’s arms.As teachers， we know children learn through our energy and effort. They become interested. Some find their passions and go after their dreams. In this way we know we ha v e the power to change li v es. I’d add that once in a while we ha v e the power to sa v e a life.本文是记叙文。

一轮复习高考英语专题复习阅读理解(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.（1）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.（2）What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.（3）Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection（4）What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。

In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3.

It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal.

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解精选含答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解I took a journey to New York, US several months ago. It was the first time I had been abroad. It was also the first time I had taken a trip by myself. I had great enthusiasm and high hopes, and I wasn't let down.It's hard to describe how I felt when I arrived at the airport in New York. Looking at people of different races and nationalities passing by and hearing different languages all around me, I couldn't say anything for a long time. I had never understood the cultural diversity of the US so clearly and closely before.The following days were even more impressive. We integrated(融入)into the forest of concrete and cement(混凝土和水泥). We waved to the Statue of Liberty; we looked down at the busy island of Manhattan; we looked at well-known universities—Harvard of ancient Egypt.Then we visited some well-known university—Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia—each with its own appealing and time-honored history. But what all these universities have in common is their peaceful academic atmospheres witch you could feel everywhere. I was impressed by the libraries, decorated just like cathedrals(教堂), and the laboratories just next to the classroom. My dream is to return to those places as an international student.Finally came our destinations—the Model United Nations conference at the University of Chicago. Students from various countries arrived to act as United Nations delegations and share their opinions about global issues.As a non-native speaker, I felt that competing against native speakers was a very tough task. But it was also a rare change to improve my English and I couldn't throw it away. With perseverance and devotion. I got used to talking to other delegations naturally. Although I didn't win any awards, the chairman praised me at the closing ceremony for my excellent performance. That made me feel really proud.This trip brought me unforgettable and valuable experiences that will benefit me forever. （1）What is the main purpose of the author's going to America?A.

The outside temperature was expected to drop to -7℃. Finally，he ga v e in： He turned on the heat. The data marked a new personal record for an annual challenge — one he hopes to beat this year. E v ery year， Che v alier， who works in digital marketing in the automoti v e industry， a v oids turning on his heat for as long as he can.Che v alier started the challenge when he was in his 20s， li v ing in a poorly equipped house and working as a part-time waiter. "Heating the structure was useless — the heat was just going out the window. It made me think： How warm do I really need to be to sur v i v e？ Just layer up，" Che v alier says. Two years ago Che v alier made it to Dec.3 without the heat. Last year， he went further， with the help of layers and layers of clothes.Che v alier has about 28，000 followers on the social media platform who are now cheering him on and sharing their own attempts to keep the heat off. Since heating oil and electric ratesha v e increased o v er the years， and are expected to continue edging up this winter， more and more people participate in this year’s challenge.It isn’t necessary to ha v e all that much heat， insists Mr. Tabor， 40， who makes v ideos online and li v es in his old house built in the 1880s.

(2015 年山西忻州四校联考)Have you ever heard of a great Chilean poet? He was of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 110th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1904-1973).Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.In 1924 Ne ruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair”. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast.” I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed(共鸣) in his work.1.The underlined word “Picasso” can probably be replaced by““A.Poem fanB.Most important personC.Famous person from PicassoD.Freedom fighter in Picasso2.Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because .A.He was greatly influenced by other poetsB.Literary greats usually used the pen nameC.His father encouraged him to use the nameD.He wanted to prevent his father knowing the publication3.Which of the following is not the theme of his works?A.Social reform.B. loveC. political struggle.D.

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said，“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the h eart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear，” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”1．What is the finding of the study?A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear. 2．The study was carried out by analyzing ________.A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsC. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart－brain communication3．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?A. Order.B. Machine.C. System.D. Treatment.4．This study may contribute to ________．A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress betterC. finding the key to the heart－brain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads参考答案1—4、DACB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
(The Improving E conomi c Situation In Greece)Greece, economically, is in the black. With very little to export other than such farm products as tobacco, cotton and fruit, the country earns enough from ‘invisible earnings’ to pay for its needed, growing imports. From the sending out of things the Greeks, earn only $285 million; from tourism, shipping and the remittances of Greeks abroad, the country takes in an additional #375 million and this washes out the almost $400 million by which imports exceed exports.It has a balanced budget. Although more than one drachma out of four goes for defense, the government ended a recent year with a slight surplus -- $66 million. Greece has a decent reserve of almost a third of a billion dollars in gold and foreign exchange. It has a government not dependent on coalescing incompatible parties to obtain parliamentary majorities.In thus summarizing a few happy highlights, I don’t mean to minimize the vast extent of Greece’s problems. It is the poorest country by a wide margin in Free Europe, and poverty is widespread. At best an annual income of $60 to $70 is the lot of many a peasant, and substantial unemployment plagues the countryside, cities, and towns of Greece. There are few natural resources on which to build any substantial industrial base. Some years ago I wrote here: “Greek statesmanship will have to create a n atmosphere in which home and foreign savings will willingly seek investment opportunities in the back ward economy of Greece. So far, most American and other foreign attempt have bogged down in the Greek government’s red tape and shrewdness about small p oints.”Great strides have been made. As far back as 1956, expanding tourism seemed a logical way to bring needed foreign currencies and additional jobs to Greece. At that time I talked with the Hilton Hotel people, who had been examining hotel possibilities, and to the Greek government division responsible for this area of the economy. They were hopelessly deadlocked in almost total differences of opinion and outlook.Today most of the incredibly varied, beautiful, historical sights of Greece have new, if in many cases modest, tourist facilities. Tourism itself has jumped from approximately $31 million to over $90 million. There is both a magnificent new Hilton Hotel in Athens and a completely modernized, greatly expanded Grande Bretagne, as well as other first-rate new hotels. And the advent of jets has made Athens as accessible as Paris or Rome – without the sky-high prices of traffic-choked streets of either.1.The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is[A] Greek income and expenditures.The improving economic situation in Greece.[C] The value of tourism.[D] Military expenditures.2.Many peasants earn less than[A] $60 a week.$2 a week.[C] $1 a day.[D] $10 a month.3.The Greek Government spends[A] more than 25%of its budget on military terms.More than its collects.[C] A third of a billion dollars in gold.[D] Less than 25% of its budget on military terms.4.According to the passage, Greece has[A] a dictatorship.a monarchy.[C] a single majority party.[D] too much red tape.5.Greece imports annually goods and materials[A] totaling almost $700 million.that balance exports.[C] that are paid by tourists.[D] costing $66 million.Vocabulary1.remittance 汇款（额）2.wash out 洗掉，取消、告吹、冲掉、筋疲力尽3.drachma 古希腊银币德拉克马（现代希腊货币单位）4.lot 份额5.incompatible 水火不相容的，不能共存的6.coalesce （政党）联合，愈合，接合7.highlight 光线最强处，最重要部分，最精彩场面8.margin （成本和售价的）差额，空白，边缘9.bog down 陷于困境，使停顿10.red tape 官样文章，烦琐和拖拉的公务程序11.shrewdness 清明，机灵12.deadlock 僵局，僵持；使陷于僵局难句译注1.
