The Talk: “The Evolution of Morality”
Professor Stephen Stich’s Talk on “The Evolution of Morality”
The Department of Philosophy, the Institute of Foreign Philosophy, and the Center for the Studies of Analytic Philosophy at Peking University invite Professor Stephen Stich (Rutgers University, USA) to visit Peking University on March 29th, 2024. Professor Stephen Stich kindly accepts the invitation and will deliver a talk on the evolution of morality from 10:00 to 12:00 on March 29th, 2024 in Room 109 of the No. 3 Yard of Lee Shau Kee Humanities Buildings.
The Abstract for the Talk:
The theory of moral psychology proposed by Sripada & Stich, and many other theories in which social learning plays a major role, suggests that people will often internalize standards that reduce their own biological fitness. It might be thought that no such psychological mechanism could possibly evolve. But that would be a mistake. In this talk, I’ll explain why it was all but unavoidable that natural selection would lead to moral psychology in our species, once we had acquired the ability to learn from one another. The account I’ll offer explains why many moral regulations improve cooperative or pro-social behavior. It also explains why many human regulations lead to ethnic hatred and morally unacceptable behavior. If the account is correct, these standards will be very difficult to overturn, and powerful cultural differences in standards are likely to be widespread.

Niu Rong, better known as Red Panda, has become a significant presence at NBA halftime shows across the US. Niu is a fourth-generation acrobat (杂技演员) and grew up in Taiyuan, China. She started learning from her parents at age 7. Niu joined the famed Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe as a teenager. She traveled the world and gained valuable experience performing her routine regularly.
She knew that the US was where she needed to be, despite the fact that she then spoke only limited English. So she reached out to a contact who worked for Walt Disney World and asked if she could perform at the World Showcase at Epcot Center. When she was 19, Niu made the move to Orlando, Florida. With Disney’s blessing, she spent her downtime performing in restaurants, schools and various businesses in the area. After about a year and a half, she decided to move to San Francisco, mostly because of the city’s large Chinese population. Without a full-time job for the first time in her life as a performer, Niu began sending out audition tapes to whomever she thought might be interested.
She had been pitching her acrobat audition video to NBA teams for a halftime show for nearly two years without hearing a word of interest. She was working relentlessly at the time, feeling like she performed at every school and corporate events possible. Finally, on Thanksgiving Day in 1993, she received a call from the Los Angeles Clippers. Their scheduled halftime act for the game that night had to cancel, and the team was wondering if she could fill in. She jumped at the chance and hopped on the next flight from her home in San Francisco to Los Angeles. While Niu was anxious about her first real opportunity and took the court with butterflies in her stomach, she was stunned to finish her routine to a standing ovation. It didn’t take long for the Los Angeles Clippers to book her again.
Today, Niu is one of the most popular performers in NBA and college basketball ranks.
24．What does the underlined “downtime” in the second paragraph most probably mean
A．Boring time. B．Hard time. C．Busy time. D. Spare time.
25．What’s the right order of Niu Rong’s life
a．Niu gave the performances in Walt Disney World.
b．Niu participated in the famed Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe.
c．Niu received a call to give a performance in NBA.
d．Niu was signed to perform by the Los Angeles Clippers.
A．abcd B．bacd C．acbd D．badc

Nobody likes to feel negative emotions: anger, jealousy and regret can all be overwhelming. In fact, we dislike feeling negative emotions so much that some of us will do anything to avoid them, from adopting a sense of denial to turning to food or work as a distraction.
Deep down we know that we can’t be joyful all the time, so why do we have such a problem with the less-than-favorable feelings It’s natural for people to avoid or suppress negative emotions. We are biologically programmed above all else to survive, to keep ourselves safe; therefore, anything that our brain perceives as something out of our comfort zone, something that might harm us in any way is usually avoided. This is the default in-built programming we have inherited from our ancestors.
However, when we do, things don’t always work out well for us. “When we bury our emotions, they inevitably end up reappearing elsewhere further down the line,” says Dr. Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic. “Burying them in this way can cause a whole host of different issues and symptoms such as headaches and anxiety.”
Not only can burying our less-desirable emotions impact our well-being, but it also prevents us from enjoying the well-being rewards coming along with these emotions. Actually, it’s a sign of emotional well-being to be able to acknowledge and stay with the uncomfortable feelings instead of pushing them away or denying them. Negative emotions can be wonderful signposts if we pay attention to them. For example, a feeling of dread, uncertainty or fear in any working environment might be a great sign that you need to start to consider changing that environment.
Our emotions are a big part of being human and they serve an important function — even the difficult ones. As Elena says: “Without negative emotions, we would struggle to know our boundaries, how to keep ourselves safe, what hurts us or makes us happy. They can guide us toward making decisions that serve us in the long term.”
28. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The features of negative emotions.
B. The definition of negative emotions.
C. The causes of avoiding negative emotions
D. The methods of avoiding negative emotions.
29. What does Dr. Elena Touroni suggest
A. Keeping a positive attitude.
B. Taking care of the physical condition.
C. Ignoring the negative emotion.
D. Acknowledging the uncomfortable feelings.
30. Why is the working environment mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To explain function of negative emotions.
B. To stress the benefits of negative emotions.
C. To prove the powerful influence of negative emotions.
D. To remind that negative emotions can change your job.
31. What can be the best title for the passage
A. The Good Side of Negative Emotions B. The Reasons for Negativity
C. The Influence of Negative Emotions D. The Ways to Embrace Negative Emotions
D
The hottest table reservation is now outdoors. From Instagram-worthy settings in city parks to car boots pulling out fancy tablecloths, cushions and flatware, picnics are no longer the domain of simple sandwiches ready-made meals. They’re catered events. Picnics have caught the imagination of Generation Z, who, according to Pinterest, are now often choosing picnic over restaurants and movie nights.
Today’s picnics may focus on clean living and fresh air, but the word “picnic” has far more raucous (吵闹的) beginnings. The word pique-nique first appeared in a 17th-century French poem that featured a character called Pique-Nique. Among French aristocracy, the term came to mean a dinner where everyone brought food and drink to share. With industrialization and the growth of cities in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, an escape to the country became fashionable, and the picnic moved outside. Picnics were no longer about indoor parties, but healthy living. In the 1830s, city-dwelling Americans started to copy Europeans, throwing down their picnic rugs in parks to embrace the countryside vibe. The modern picnic, laying a blanket down on the ground and toting your food in a cooler, came in the late 1950s and 1960s with car tourism.
Many countries have long used a picnic to mark an occasion, such as the Japanese tradition of picnicking under flowering trees during the centuries-old cherry blossom festivals, or the Finnish herring picnic on May Day. Now, some new companies want to spread the idea of a picnic as a special event.
What unites all picnics throughout the years is the element of delight and the sense that no matter what you eat, serve or do, you can never go wrong. Even if you’ve forgotten the corkscrew or the salad dressing, or it starts to rain, this only serves to increase the fun than diminish it.
32．What do Generation Z think of picnic according to paragraph 1
A．They should make sandwiches for their picnics.
B．They can get picnic ideas from their imagination.
C．They prefer picnics to restaurants and movie nights.
D．They can swim and enjoy flowers during picnic time.
33．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．What picnics were about in the history.
B．What people focus on today in picnics.
C．Why the picnic moved outside later.
D．How going on a picnic became popular.
34．Which of the following statement is wrong according to the passage
A．Pique-Nique was a character in a 17th century French poem.
B．Picnics were originally indoor parties for French aristocracy.
C．Europeans copied Americans and went for a picnic in the countryside.
D．People in the late 1950s toted food in a cooler when going for a picnic.
35．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Japanese people have a longer tradition of going for a picnic than Finnish people.
B．Picnics can bring people joy and have no standard about what they eat and do.
C．People should go on a picnic during rainy days in order to have more pleasure.
D．Many companies promote the idea of going on picnics so as to make more money.

Language Learner Habits to Avoid
Successful language learners do the kind of things the unsuccessful ones don’t and avoid the ones that unsuccessful ones do! This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid.
Always being distracted. Being distracted by noises, people walking past or your own thoughts will take you away from being present. Presence is of fundamental importance in learning. 36 Study can’t make up for a lack of presence — nothing can.
Only talking the talk. There is little point in making plans or talking about what you are going to do if you do not follow through. 37 You need to walk the talk. If you are only talking the talk, maybe it has to do with one of the other habits mentioned below!
38 We can all get lazy if we are doing things that are not inspiring us. Who gets lazy when they are courting a partner Who gets lazy with things they love doing Laziness is a sign that something has to change. Forcing yourself to persist will only last for so long, before it gives way to more laziness.
Giving up. “The most certain way to succeed,” Thomas Edison once said, “is always to try just one more time.” 39 And often, it comes after first failing time and time again.
If you are doing any of these, my suggestion is to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices. 40
A. Giving in to laziness.
B. Learning to get rid of laziness.
C. In a sense, we do learn by trial and error.
D. Once you do, you will be heading in a better direction.
E. Success, however you define it, never comes from not trying.
F. Action is what will produce results, not just words or thoughts.
G. Without that, you cannot notice the things that can help you to improve.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The summer finally came. That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to do something and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again.
Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious, and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision!
Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声).
At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged.
“That’s horrible!” I shouted loudly, and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted (轻拍) my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires...” The lady introduced herself as Allison. She gave me a “lecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Why not try one more time ” said Allison.
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well.

【答案】36. G 37. F 38. A 39. E 40. D
【导语】文章主要介绍了语言学习者要避免的几个语言学习习惯，比如总是分心、只是说说而已以及轻易放弃等。
36. G 根据段落主题句“Always being distracted. ”可知，该段的主要内容与“分心”有关。空处上一句介绍“不分心”对学习的重要性，空处下一句也在强调没有什么可以弥补注意力的分散。因此设空处应该同样介绍注意力的重要性。分析选项内容可知，G项“心不在焉的话，你就不会注意到那些能帮助你进步的事情。”符合语境；G项中的that 指代上文中的Presence。
37. F 本段主要介绍 “只说不做”这一不好的语言学习习惯。空前内容指出只有计划没有行动是没意义的，空后强调了行动的重要性。F项“行动才会产生结果，而不仅仅是靠言语或想法。” 承上启下，符合语境。本题易误选D项。考生会以为D项中的do后省略了what you are going to do。但D项与下文的“You need to walk the talk,”无法构成合理的行文逻辑。故本题F项为最优选项。
38. A 空处为段落主旨句，应与其他段落的主旨句在形式上保持一致，同时在内容上应概括介绍一种不好的语言学习习惯。根据下文 “We can all get lazy...”可知，本段主要介绍“懒惰”相关的内容。因此A项“屈服于懒惰”概括了本段主旨。本题易误选B项。根据文章首段最后一句“This article is about language learning habits that successful learners avoid. ” 以及各段主旨句“Always being distracted.” “Only talking the talk,” “Giving up.”可知，此处所填应概括介绍一种不良的习惯，而不是一种良好的习惯。故B项不符合文章的行文逻辑。
39. E 空前内容提到Thomas Edison的有关成功的名言。E项“不尝试就永远不会成功——不论你如何定义它。”可以承接上文；succeed和Success是同根词复现。同时，E项中的（it）never comes与下文的it comes是对比的逻辑关系。故选E。
40. D 空处上一句鼓励人们要摆脱上文中提到的不良习惯，D项“一旦你这样做了，你就会向着更好的方向前进。”承接上文内容（do指代上文的 to look more carefully and see if you can move away from these practices）。故选D。
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. A 45. C 46. D 47. B 48. B 49. C 50. A 51. D
52. B 53. A 54. D 55. C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了探险家 Lucy Shepherd 和她的团队在50天内穿越亚马孙卡努库山脉的故事。

书面表达
第一节
Dear Chris,
In your recent e-mail, you wanted me to recommend a representative thing for the Chinese traditional culture exhibition to be held in your school. Personally, I recommend Peking Opera masks.
Peking Opera masks are a great demonstration of Peking Opera facial makeup, which is unique to stage performances of Chinese opera. The colors of Peking Opera facial makeup are based on some special figures. Specific facial makeup is put on the actors’ faces to symbolize the personalities, characteristics and fates of the roles. The facial makeup is not only a symbol of the characters in the play, but a symbol of Chinese traditional culture.
Sincerely wish the exhibition a complete success!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
“Why not try one more time ” said Allison. I hesitated, and then murmured, “Perhaps I should.” Her smile broadened in response, “That’s the spirit!” With the swimming ring serving as my safety net, I practiced what she taught. After getting used to floating, I tried to imitate her movements. My initial efforts were awkward, yet she reassured me that it was all part and parcel of the learning process. Standing by the pool, she applauded every small victory. Hours later, though I wasn’t swimming like the others, I succeeded in taking the first steps.
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I knew what I needed to do. The following morning found me at the gym once more, where only a few early swimmers dotted the pool. Gazing at the inviting blue water of the pool, now a familiar friend, I plunged in with newfound determination. Stroke after stroke, breath after breath, I practiced. Finally, my arms, no longer tentative, cut through the water with purpose. My legs followed, kicking rhythmically，I knew I had learned swimming and one thing more valuable — being patient.

M: I spend a lot of my time with sea animals, trying to learn what things they need in the environment. If we know what they need, we can help them survive. And part of my work is to rescue sea animals when they get into trouble with pollution.
W: Can you tell us something about them
M: Yes. of course. I still remember we tried to save some seabirds that had oil on their wings last year. They couldn’t fly. They couldn’t eat the fish because the fish were covered with oil. And, last weekend, my workmates and I saved a turtle that swallowed a small plastic bottle. And a whale died after it ate a plastic cloth a short time ago.
W: So bad. Why did you choose this job
M: I became interested in sea animals at twelve after a one-month trip to the beach. In 2016, when I was in high school, 1 saw a documentary called A Plastic Ocean. After watching it, I realized that I wanted to protect sea animals. So I studied marine biology at the university……

An international team of scientists has reportedly created the superbanana that contains more vitamin A.
Lacking vitamin A has been a serious problem in some places in Africa and Southeast Asia. It is harmful to children’s growth and it causes blindness. Without absorbing enough vitamin A, children get ill easily.
According to the World Health Organization, 190 million preschool-aged children worldwide lack vitamin A. Luckily, a cheap solution to the problem may be available in the very near future.
The Banana21 project was launched in Uganda in 2005, and after 18 years of hard work and failed attempts, a team of researchers from the African country’s National Agricultural Research Laboratories and Australian agricultural scientist James Dale worked together to create a type of banana capable of saving millions of children’s lives.
According to National Geographic, the superbanana is ready to be planted in Uganda, but scientists are still waiting for approval from the local government. The problem of lacking vitamin A may disappear one day by providing the superbanana for people.
