第四部分 阅读理解

A

Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.

It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment – the commencement (毕业典礼).

Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in maroon (栗色的) cap and gown (长袍).

Our principal (校长), Mr Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem (国歌) followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn (庄严的) Pledge of Allegiance (美国的爱国誓言).

Students who had excelled academically gave farewell (分别) speeches.

The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the

occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry, the smiles fade, but the memories last forever.”

Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.

Frankly (坦白讲), the presentation of diplomas got tedious (乏味的). A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.

A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing (瞥见) their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.

1. What is the article mainly about?

Some chimpanzees (黑猩猩) seem to react like humans in the face of a fellow chimp’s death, two new studies have found. Chimps appear to comfort the dying, experience sadness at death and have trouble letting go.

In one study, researchers at the University of Stirling and at Blair Drummond Safari Park in Britain watched how three chimpanzees reacted as a fourth chimp, an elderly female named Pansy, sickened and died.

Park officials had separated Pansy from the other chimpanzees for treatment when she became ill in November 2008. But when her breathing became irregular a few weeks later, the other three chimps were allowed to join her.

In the 10 minutes before she died, the three animals – an elderly female named Blossom, Blossom’s adult son Chippy and Pansy’s adult daughter Rosie – frequently groomed (梳理毛发) and touched Pansy. They stood in close, and Chippy shook her arm, apparently testing for signs of life. When they got no reaction, “they appeared to arrive at a decision that something had changed, and she was no longer the same as she was beforehand,” said lead researcher James Anderson, from the University of Stirling. “It seems they are clearly able to distinguish the difference between being alive and unresponsive (无反应的).”

Soon, both Blossom and Chippy left Pansy’s side. Even though it was not her usual sleeping area, Rosie stayed and slept by her mother’s body almost the entire night.

Sixteen hours after Pansy’s death, zookeepers removed the body, with the three chimps watching quietly. For several days afterward, the group refused to make a nest at the area where Pansy had died.

In the second study, chimpanzee mothers were observed in the forests of Bossou, Guinea, after a disease had swept through a group of 19 chimpanzees, killing five, including two infants (婴儿). The mothers of those infants continued to carry the corpses (尸体) around, even as the bodies dried out. One mother carried her baby for 19 days; the other mother carried hers for 68 days.

“We have two explanations here – one is that there is a very strong bond (亲密关系) between chimpanzee mothers and chimpanzee infants,” said lead researcher Dora Biro, a biologist at the University of Oxford.

“Another possibility is that they were aware of the death and this was just their way of dealing with it,” Biro added, pointing to human inability (无能) to let go of objects that remind us of people we have lost.

Craig Stanford, a US expert, called the studies’ findings interesting, but said that although humans and chimpanzees shared similar emotions to some degree, it would be dangerous to extrapolate (推断) too much about chimps’ understanding of death.

5. The studies have found that some chimpanzees ______.

A. feel deep affection for their mother

B. are as clever as human

C. are afraid of death like human

D. seem to have emotions similar to those of human

6. According to the first study, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Pansy was separated from other chimpanzees until her death when she became seriously ill.

B. Chimpanzees seem to know the difference between life and death.

C. Blossom was the saddest of the three chim-panzees.

D. After Pansy died, the other three chimpanzees refused to sleep in their nest.

7. All of the following might explain why chimpanzee mothers carried the corpses of their babies around for a long time OTHER than ______.

A. the very strong relationship between chimpanzee mothers and their infant

B. that the chimpanzees might know what death wa

C. that the bodies of the infants might bring back memory of their babie

D. that they wanted to find a good place to bury them

8. From what Craig Stanford said we can infer that ______.

A. it’s doubtful whether chimpanzees really have a full understanding of death

B. humans and chimpanzees have the same emotion

C. it would be dangerous for chimpanzees to understand death

D. humans and chimpanzees belong to the same family

Many of us know that fast food is not good for us: it makes us fat and has twice the amount of salt an adult should eat.

Moreover, you may not be aware that fast food may have a subliminal (潜意识的) effect on behavior, making people impatient even when they are not short of time, according to a new study published in the journal Psychological Science. “The unconscious goal of saving time embedded (内含的) in fast food may have the unexpected consequence of inducing (引起) haste and impatience,” the researchers claim.

More strikingly, they found that the mere exposure (接触) to fast food symbols “reduced people’s willingness to save and led them to prefer immediate gain over greater future return”.

In the study, student volunteers were shown in rapid succession logos (标志) from fast-food chains including McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC and Subway. Participants preferred time-saving products like three-in-one skincare treatments rather than separate versions after seeing the logos.

When asked whether they would accept a small sum of money immediately or a larger amount in a week’s time, they again chose an instant reward after being exposed to the brands. “Fast food represents a culture of time efficiency (高效) and instant gratification (满足),” said researcher Sanford DeVoe, professor of organizational behavior at Canada’s Toronto University. “It is promoting a general sense of haste whether time is a relevant factor in the context (发生事情的环境或背景) or not.”

9. The point of the article is to ________.

A. tell readers that fast food can heighten their awareness of time efficiency

B. report the findings of new research into fast food

C. analyze the bad effects fast food can have on physical health

D. advise readers not to eat fast food

10. The research findings suggest that if someone likes eating fast food, he or she will probably approach life ________.

A. in a friendly way B. in a calm way

C. in a hurried way D. in a worried way

11. Judging from the article, which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. Fast food causes weight problems.

B. Fast food increases energy levels.

C. Fast food contains more salt than traditional food.

D. To some degree, fast food can influence behavior.

12. What can we infer from the article?

A. The research suggests that fast food does not cause impatience in those who have enough time.

B. The research suggests that fast food causes people to focus on long-term

D

The average life expectancy (寿命) of a building in China is just 25 to 30 years, compared with 132 years in Britain, according to an article in China Daily earlier this month. Although I don’t know how accurate these figures are, it would not surprise me if they were correct.

The last house I occupied in Britain was more than 150 years old, and it still had many original features, such as a fireplace (壁炉) in each room. The windows, doors, and ceilings were each made by a specialist craftsman (工匠).

My Beijing apartment is a different story. Built about 30 years ago, it is already showing signs of age. Some of the windows don’t open. Most of the door hinges (铰链) are broken, and the ceiling has some large cracks.

The poor quality of Chinese buildings has been criticized recently as wasteful and dangerous. But there’s another problem that both China and Britain share – traditional crafts are dying at an alarming rate.

Stucco, a method of creating beautiful decorated ceilings and walls, is now practiced by just five people in Britain. Makers of traditional barrels (桶), wheels, fishing rods and dozens of other craftworks are often well beyond normal retirement age. Without apprentices (学徒) to pass the skills onto, they will take their valuable skills with them to the grave.

The situation is the same here in China. Yao Fuying, a Beijing-born master of traditional Chinese embroidery (刺绣), says that young people are interested in his work and the fact that it is all handmade. Still, he lacks a single apprentice to pass his skills onto.

Master Yao is not alone. Of 1,865 recognized Chinese handicrafts, 47 percent are endangered, according to the China Arts and Crafts Association.

Training an apprentice takes time and money. It’s a practice that in many countries is supported by the government. Japan, France and Sweden are noted for their backing of traditional crafts. For instance, Japan is protecting 200 traditional crafts by giving financial support to craftsmen. Obviously, it’s all worth it, since traditional crafts have such an appeal and their high quality means you will be able to pass them onto your children as priceless heirlooms.

13.Why does the author say “it would not surprise me if they were correct”?

A. He hates the living in a Chinese building.

B. He draws the conclusion from his own experience in Beijing and Britain.

C. He read in newspapers that British buildings last much longer than Chinese buildings.

D. He compared his apartment in Beijing with his friend’s in Britain.

14. Judging by the article, which of the following statements is FALSE?

A. Traditional handicrafts appeal to young people.

B. In many countries the government provides financial support to traditional crafts people.

C. Many young people compete to become apprentices in endangered traditional crafts.

D. Traditional crafts are endangered all over the world.

15. The underlined word “heirloom” in the last paragraph probably means ______.

A. something beautiful and unique that can be used as a toy

B. something valuable passed from one generation to the next

C. skill

D. present

16. The main purpose of the article is to _______.

A. show the difficulties faced by traditional handicrafts all over the world

B. say how well-preserved traditional houses in Britain are

C. criticize the poor quality of Chinese building

D. appeal to young people to become interested in traditional handicraft

When Nikki Saucedo started her search for a project that could win her the highest award in Girl Scouting (童子军活动), she knew that it had to be something that would “enhance (丰富) life”.

She couldn’t foresee that her decision to make puppets (玩偶) to comfort children who were having cleft palate (兔唇) surgery (手术) would lead to a trip to Ethiopia, where she would teach more than 400 teens to sew (缝纫).

Of course, she earned the Girl Scout Gold Award for her efforts.

It all happened because of her involvement in Operation Smile. This is the international organization that, since 1982, has treated more than 135,000 children and young adults with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities (畸形), according to the organization’s website.

Nikki’s father read something about the program and showed it to her.

“I saw how much they were helping these children – what a difference they were making in their lives,” said Nikki, a 17-year-old senior at Liberty High School in Colorado. “I thought I could make something to comfort the children when they were going into surgery.”

She started with a yarn (纱线) doll. She tested it on her young cousins, who quickly destroyed it. Then she tried sock puppets, but it proved too hard to sew on the decorations.

“I needed something simple, easy, cost-effective and easy to pack for shipping,” she said.

She found success with colorful felt (毛毡) hand puppets.

She recruited (录用) fellow basketball players, Girl Scouts, church members and sewing groups to make puppets – using either her design or their own.

Nine months later, the first 200 “comfort buddies” were shipped to children in China, Kenya, Costa Rica, Egypt, India and Ethiopia.

Her project caught the eye of officials at Operation Smile headquarters. They invited her to run a workshop at the International Student Leadership Conference in Virginia. Nikki was then selected for a mission (任务) to Ethiopia.

Suddenly, she was in the middle of a whirlwind (旋风) of new experiences: a public speaker before more than 400 students from 16 countries; traveling alone to another country; living on rice and bread for 10 days; watching surgeons repair poor children’s deformities (畸形).

“It was amazing to go over there and see a whole different culture,” she said.

17. The article is mainly about ______.

A. Operation Smile’s programme for children with deformitie

B. how Nikki Saucedo made puppet

C. Nikki Saucedo’s experience in Ethiopia

D. Nikki Saucedo’s involvement in Operation Smile

18. Nikki Saucedo made puppets with the purpose of ______.

A. comforting children with deformitie

B. earning the highest award in Girl Scouting

C. raising money for children with deformities to have surgery

D. winning a trip to Ethiopia organized by Operation Smile

19. Which of the following statements about Nikki Saucedo’s experience in Ethiopia is NOT true?

A. She gave a speech to students from different countries.

B. She went to Ethiopia by herself.

C. She had rice and bread for food there.

D. She repaired poor children’s deformities.

20. What can we learn from Nikki Saucedo?

A. “Well begun is half done.”

B. “Whatever good we give out comes back to us.”

C. “A small act can change the whole world.”

D. “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
