18、ing dying languages and the cultures they reflect.mark turin, a scientist at the macmillan centre yale university, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the himalayas, is following in that tradition. his recently published book, a grammar of thangmi with an ethnolinguistic introduc

20、 india , nepal, bhutan, and china . but he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.at the university of cambridge turin discovered a wealth of important materials including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes which had remained unstudied and

25、experiment and report.cwhen we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten, many of us want to squeeze it. why is that?according to a study published in the journal frontiers in behavioral neuroscience, its a typical experience of “cute aggression”. the experience results from the fight b

26、etween the brains “emotion system”, which impels (驅(qū)使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.in the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. two of the groups of photos were of cute human ba

27、bies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. as the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.according to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and the

28、y seemed to be overwhelmed. by contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.this suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by

29、the experience of cuteness. but reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.as katherine stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the university of california in the us told science alert, “the cute aggression is the brains way of bringing us ba

30、ck down by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute.so, although cute babies

31、and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable appearance may in fact help them to survive.28. what is “cute aggression” according to the text?a. the emotion of wanting to protect cute things.b. the task of emotion system and reward system.c. the adaptation of consistently takin

32、g care of cute creatures.d. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it.29. what leads to “cute aggression” in nature?a. the need of the brain to balance all feelings.b. the photos of cute human babies and animals.c. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animals.d. the conflict b

33、etween emotion system and reward system.30. what can we learn about the study?a. facial expressions of the participants were observed.b. katherine stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.c. cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.d. the participants were divide

34、d into two groups in order to make comparison.31. what is the authors purpose of writing this text?a. to persuade readers to protect cute animals.b. to stress the significance of cute aggression.c. to present research findings on cute aggression.d. to share an interesting phenomenon with readers.dwh

35、ile the human world is suffering from the novel coronavirus outbreak, our planet is actually showing certain signs of “recovery” from the damage caused by human activity. according to the bbc, new satellite images released by the european space agency showed that levels of air pollutants and greenho

36、use gases have “fallen sharply” in major cities in europe and the united states ever since the lockdown(活動(dòng)限制) started.this is what happened after recent discoveries in antarctica. an international team of 89 scientists found that the ice in greenland and antarctica is melting six times faster in the

37、 2010s than it was in the 1990s. and in february, argentinas marambio research station in antarctica recorded a record high temperature of 20.75 on the continent.so what exactly will happen if the temperature keeps rising and the ice keeps melting? a third study might give you an idea. a team of sci

38、entists drilled a hole into the seafloor in west antarctica and extracted material from underground, in which they found traces of roots, spores and pollentypical products of a rainforestthat dated back 90 million years ago. in other words, antarctica was very likely a rainforest back when the dinos

39、aurs walked on earth. but given the fact that the south pole has four months of darkness during wintereven millions of years agoscientists believe that the rainforest could only exist if the greenhouse gas concentrations were extremely high back then to keep the continent warm when there was little

40、or no sunlight.“we didnt know that this cretaceous (白堊紀(jì)的) greenhouse climate was that extreme,” johann klages of the alfred wegener institute in germany and a co-author of the research told the guardian. “it shows us what carbon dioxide is able to do.”ice or no ice, antarctica will beand has always

41、beenfine with extreme changes. the human world, however, may not be.now, during the coronavirus lockdown, weve seen the changes resulting from less human activity. hopefully, well hold on to those changesnot for antarctica or the planet, but for ourselves.32. what does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?a.

42、the novel coronavirus outbreak in fact resulted from human activity.b. the novel coronavirus proves to have a positive effect on the human beings.c. the lockdown of major cities contributed to the decrease of greenhouse gases.d. our planet is returning to its original state due to the novel coronavi

43、rus outbreak.33. what do we learn from the third study?a. typical products of a rainforest were dug out in antarctica.b. traces of dinosaurs living in rainforests were spotted in antarctica.c. there used to be enough sunlight for the rainforest in the cretaceous antarctica.d. there was a good possib

44、ility of high greenhouse gas concentrations in antarctica.34. what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to explain the effects of greenhouse gases.b. to draw our attention to the ecosystem in antarctica.c. to call on us to reduce human impact on the environment.d. to encourage all of us to defeat t

45、he novel coronavirus bravely. 35. what can be the suitable title for the passage?a. the ice is melting faster in antarcticac. slowing down global warming by lockdownb. the extreme greenhouse climate in the period of cretaceous d. reducing human activity contributes to our planets recovery第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小

47、to help you survive and achieve your goals in a complicated world. because you often have to react quickly to emergencies and opportunities, your brain usually tries to get a simple answer in a hurry rather than a prefect answer that takes time to work out. but as the world is not simple, this means

48、 that your brain has to take shortcuts and make a lot of assumptions. _37_ the problem starts when the brain takes in information from the world through the senses. even if you are sitting quietly in a room, your brain receives far more information than it can hold on to or than you need to decide h

49、ow to act. you may be aware of the detailed pattern of colours in the rug, the photographs on the wall and the sounds of birds outside. _38_ usually these things arent important so we dont often notice how much information we lose. when people look at complicated pictures, they can identify differen

50、ces if the images remain still. but if the image moves quickly, then they have a lot more trouble. _39_ to test this, psychologists have tried more interesting ways of getting people to fail to notice things. in one of our favorites, a researcher approaches someone on the street and asks for directi

51、ons. while the person is replying, workmen carry a large door between the two people, blocking their view of each other. behind the cover of the door, the person who asked for directions is replaced by another researcher who carries on the conversation as if nothing had happened. even when the secon

52、d person looks very different from the first, the person giving the directions has only about a fifty per cent chance of noticing the change. _40_a. your brains lies are in your best interestmost of the timebut they also lead to predictable mistakes.b. this is because we imagine that we remember mor

53、e details than we really can.c. the experiments illustrate that you perceive only a little bit of whats going on in the world.d. your brain selectively processes details that are important for you to notice.e. your brain perceives many other aspects of the scene initially but quickly forgets them.f.

54、 this happens because our visual memory isnt very good.g. your brain doesnt intend to lie to you, of course.第三部分語言知識(shí)運(yùn)用(共三節(jié)，滿分30分)第一節(jié)完形填空 (共15小題；每小題1分，滿分15分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的a、b、c和d四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。a store owner was hanginga sign thatread“puppiesfor sale.” signs like that have a way of _41_ small
