Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2016·宿迁市模拟)Depression can be a devastating illness，plaguing millions of people worldwide with feelings of sadness，hopelessness，and fatigue.Despite numerous antidepressant drugs，as many as a third of patients don’t respond to medication.This has forced doctors to be more creative in finding different treatments for the condition.
In the past two decades，researchers have tied depression to a seemingly unrelated condition：inflammation(炎症)，the body’s natural response to stress.It could rise from injury or inflection，or even emotional issues like an unhappy marriage or problems at work.Some amount of inflammation is generally beneficial，as it increases production of cytokines (致癌因子)，proteins that help us heal and protect us from the effects of overwork.
But excessive cytokine levels，and the inflammation they bring on，could come at a cost.A number of studies suggest that high levels of cytokines could contribute to depression.
Cytokines can reach the brain several ways：directly through the blood-brain barrier or indirectly by binding to nerve fibers elsewhere，which send signals to the brain to produce the inflammation molecules.In the brain，cytokines can disturb the production and release of several important signaling chemicals，including serotonin，dopamine and glutamate，which help control emotion，appetite，sleep，learning and memory.It’s thought that a lack of serotonin activity in the brain causes depression; most antidepressants increase the activity.But cytokines also have been shown to activate stress hormone signaling in the brain，which can also serve to develop depression.
With all the evidence implicating inflammation in depression，doctors have been anxious to
test anti-inflammatory drugs as a potential treatment.Four small students published between 2006 and 2012 by research groups in Europe and Iran found that adults diagnosed with depression who took aspirin or another anti-inflammatory drug called C elecoxib，along with an antidepressant，got more relief from feelings of sadness，hopelessness，guilt and fatigue compared with those taking an antidepressant alone.However，Andrew Miller，a professor of psychiatry at Emory University，thought something was amiss in these small，limited studies.None of them looked at whether the participants had to have high levels of cytokines before into the trap of viewing inflammatory drugs.“Unfortunately，much of the field has fallen into the trap of viewing inflammation as the be-all，end ­all，”Miller says.He and his colleagues wanted to see whether the effect of these drugs was limited to the depression patients with high cytokine levels，or if it helped all people diagnosed with depression.

Andy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry that I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother.I have to because he is my brother.More than that, he is my twin!
That’s right.Andy and Amy (that’s me) have the same curly hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn characters.Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues we usually take completely opposite positions.If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.
Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal(提议) to adopt a school dress principle.Every student would be required to wear a uniform.Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color.The dress style would be sort of loose and free.
Boys would wear white or blue button­down shirts, a school tie, blue or gray pants, and a navy blue blazer (运动夹克)．Girls would wear white or blue blouses or sweaters, blue or gray pants or skirts, along with a navy blue blazer.
Socks or tights could be black, gray, blue, or white.The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of the uniforms, others are opposed.The headmaster has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before making their decisions.She will have the final word on the dress principle.
I think a dress principle is a good idea.The reason is simple.School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day.The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better.I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear.Of course, there are other mornings when my room looks like a
storm had hit it, with bits and pieces of a dozen different possible clothes on the bed and on the floor.I also wouldn’t mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts.And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer-labeled clothes.
Andy is surprised at my opinion.He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all­American teenage birthright by dressing like—well, like a typical st night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums.What a couple of peace­loving hippies (嬉皮士) they were!
“Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform.Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform! If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me! ” he declared.
To which I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school uniforms.Big deal! They went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you, brother dear.I had no idea that you are so fragile that you would be completely destroyed by gray or blue pants, a white or blue shirt, a tie, and a blazer.”
That really made him angry.Then he said, “You’re just mimicking(模仿) what you hear that new music teacher saying! ”
“That is so not true.I’m saying exactly what I think，”I said, raising my voice in what mom would call “a very rude manner.”
“You have always been stupid, and you know it! ” he shouted.
“Is that so? Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is automatically stupid.And that’s the stupidest thing of all! ” I said.
Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went thankfully to our separate classes.
The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day.The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week.I wonder what it will be.I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.
How would you vote—for or against?

(2016·郑州第二次质检)Beauty is only skin deep.This expression means that beauty is only a temporary surface quality.Some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin.
In America, many people use sunlight and non­natural light to darken their skin.Health experts advise people against what is called “tanning”because of its links to skin cancer.In the African country of Senegal (塞内加尔), some women take health risks trying to do just the_opposite．
An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and soaps.The World Health Organization says that 25% of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products on a usual basis.These products can contain chemicals, like mercury (汞) , hydroquinone (对苯二酚), etc. These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the skin.They can actually burn the eyes and skin.
Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results.She uses a cream that is made from carrots, not the strong chemical, hydroquinone.She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her.Some women want to be black every day, but for her, she likes to be a shade of brown.
Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance.They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event.
This thinking troubles Senegalese film-maker Khardiata Pouye Sall.So, she made This Color
That Bothers Me, a film about the subject of skin lightening.She said, “I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers.It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man, to be loved or they want to please society, to succeed.”
Ms. Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and the sale of skin­lightening products. But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.

(2016·威海一中检测)Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deep­sea Challenger 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as A v atar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.
“I felt like I had gone to another planet, ”Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”
Cameron captured(获取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deep­sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey. It is a film
about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.
