Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
If a new idea in America becomes a law, people who suffer from obesity could suffer financially, too.The U.S.state of Arizona wants to charge overweight citizens $50 annually if they fail to follow their doctors’ advice.People with children or who are overweight because they suffer from a medical condition would be excluded.If the idea is approved by Congress, smokers and diabetics who fail to stick to a healthy lifestyle will also have to pay.Medicaid, the organization which provides healthcare to the poor in the United States costs the government $339 billion a year.Monica Coury, assistant director at Arizona’s Medicaid program, said that this proposal would ask people to give something back.She said that Arizona would take a carrot-and-stick approach to the problem.As well as punishing people who go against their doctor’s wishes, awards would be offered for following advice, possibly a keep-fit video.Arizona’s senator Tristan Sinema has not backed the plans, saying that there isn’t a system to decide whether someone is or isn’t following medical advice.Other critics claim that people don’t need the government to look after them if they want to be fat and smoke.
Questions:
11.What is the news report mainly about

W:Yes, that’s right.We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training.Young men on our trainee scheme have to work through every branch in the company.
M:Well, if I had to do it, I suppose.But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work.I’d like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.
W:You know the charm of traveling abroad disappears when you’ve got to work hard.It’s not all fun and game.
M:Oh, yes, I realize that.It’s just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.
W:Now, Mr.Smith, is there anything you want to ask me
M:Well, there’s one or two things.I’d like to know if I’d have to sign a contract, what the salary is and what the prospects are.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. (10%)
For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or __28__ in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the __29__ fact is that most of us are poor readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency(缺陷) lies in the actual stuff of language itself---words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are __30__ together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. However, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He __31__ reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization --- __32__ sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.Shanghai Datong High School
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a(n) __33__ speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable, for the purpose of “__34__” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, __35__ impossible. At first comprehension is __36__ for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training. Take Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a(n) __37__ good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can get through a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

Brazil’s election offers hope for the rainforest
A presidential election in 2022 will offer a chance for Brazil’s government to __38__ policies that have contributed to global climate change. The country is home to 60% of the Amazon rainforest, which has historically been an important carbon sink. But a worrying study published in 2021 in Nature found that over the past decade it has __39__ become a carbon source. The culprits(罪魁祸首): forest fires and deforestation, which has soared by more than 40% since President Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019.Shanghai Datong High School
On his watch, environmental __40__ and fines dropped to record lows. Activists say this has encouraged illegal logging, mining, and land-grabbing. In June the environment minister, Ricardo Salles, resigned after federal police began investigating him for alleged(据说的) involvement in timber trafficking.
A greener president would try to __41__ such crimes. Polls suggest that Mr Bolsonaro is likely to lose the election. His successor could convince Germany and Norway to __42__ the Amazon Fund, a pot of money for enforcement and sustainable development that was withdrawn in 2019 amid concerns about Mr Bolsonaro’s __43__. A new president could also revive talks with President Joe Biden __44__, who has offered to create a $20bn fund for the rainforest once Brazil starts showing results.
But even an enlightened president will have to __45__ a profit-making Congress, which is considering a number of laws that threaten the rainforest and its inhabitants. These include a land-regularization bill nicknamed the “land-grabbing law” and a bill that would legalize wildcat mining on indigenous territories. In August thousands of indigenous people camped out in the capital as the supreme court debated a case that would restrict their territories to land that was occupied when a new constitution was passed in 1988. The court postponed its decision, but Congress is considering a law that would have the __46__ effect.
Better leadership in Brazil could jump-start regional efforts to boost enforcement and find sustainable __47__ to deforestation for the rainforest’s inhabitants. But if Mr Bolsonaro wins again, his determination to fill the forest with roads, dams and mines could cause destruction far beyond the borders of Brazil.
38.A. intensify B. reverse C. oppose D. diversity
39. A. therefore B. instead C. otherwise D. indeed
40.A. awareness B. restoration C. legalization D. enforcement

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (22%)
(A)
Many Americans harbor a false and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food Fergus Clydesdale, head of the department of food science and nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, points out that if the dangers from bacterially, polluted chicken were as great as some people believe, “the streets would be littered with people lying here and there.”
Though the public increasingly demands no-risk food, there is no such thing. Bruce Ames, chairman of the biochemistry department at the University of California, Berkeley, points out that up to 10% of a plant's weight is made up of natural pesticides. Says he, “Since plants do not have jaws or teeth to protect themselves, they employ chemical war.” And many naturally produced chemicals, though occurring in tiny amounts, prove in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogens a substance which can cause cancer. Mushrooms might be banned if they were judged by the same standards that apply to food additives. Declares Christina Stark,a nutritionist at Comell University, “We’ve got far worse natural chemicals in the food supply than anything man-made”.
Yet the issues are not that simple, While Americans have no reason to be terrified to sit down at the dinner table, they have every reason to demand significant improvements in food and water safety. They unconsciously and unwillingly take in too much of too many dangerous chemicals. If food already contains natural carcinogens, it does not make much sense to add dozens of new man-made ones. Though most people are subject to the small amounts of contaminants(污染物) generally found in food and water, at least a few individuals will probably get cancer one day because of what they eat and drink.
To make good food and water supplies even better, the Government needs to tighten its standards, stiffen its inspection program and strengthen its policies. The food industry should modify some long-accepted practices or turn to less risky alternatives. Perhaps most important, consumers will have to do a better job of learning how to handle and cook food properly. The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain, from fields to processing plants to kitchens.
48.What does the author think of the Americans’ view of their food Shanghai Datong High School
A. They overstate the government’s interference with the food industry.
B. They overestimate the risk of the food they eat.
C. They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food.
D. They neglect the risks of the food they eat.
49.The author considers it impossible to obtain no-risk food because ______.
A. no food is free from pollution in the environment.
B. pesticides are widely used in agriculture.
C. many vegetables contain dangerous natural chemicals.
D. almost all foods have hazardous additives.
50.By saying “they employ chemical war”, Bruce Ames means ______.Shanghai Datong High School
A. plants produce certain chemicals to resist pests and diseases.
B. plants absorb useful chemicals to promote their growth.
C. farmers use man-made chemicals to make the plants grow faster.
D. farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseases.
51.What is the message the author wants to convey in the passage
A. Eating and drinking have become more dangerous than before.
B. Immediate measures must be taken to improve food production and processing.
C. Healthy food is a distant dream in the modern society.
D. There is reason for caution but no cause for alarm with regard to food consumption.

AS HE STOOD amid the thick old-growth forests along the coastal range of Oregon, Dave Wiens was nervous. Before he was trained to shoot his first barred owl(横斑林鸮), he had never fired a gun.
Wiens eyed the big female owl, which perched on a branch at just the right distance. Then he squeezed the trigger. The owl fell to the forest floor, its carcass(尸体) adding to a running tally of more than 2,400 barred owls that had been killed so far in a controversial experiment by the U.S.government. The experiment is aimed at testing whether the rapid decline in the population of the northern spotted owl(北方斑点鸮) in the Pacific Northwest can be stopped by the killing of its East Coast cousin.
The son of a well-known ornithologist(鸟类学者), Wiens grew up fascinated by birds. “It’s a little distasteful to go out killing owls to save another owl species,” said he. “Nonetheless, I also feel, from a conservation standpoint, that our backs are up against the wall.”
The federal government has been trying for decades to save the northern spotted owl, a native bird that sparked an intense battle over logging. After the owl was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 1990, earning it a cover on Time magazine, federal officials banned logging in the old-growth forests to protect the bird’s habitat. However, its population continued to decline.
Meanwhile, researchers began documenting another threat: larger, more aggressive barred owls which are competing with the spotted owls for food and space and displacing them in some areas. In almost all ways, the barred ow is the spotted owl’s worst enemy: They reproduce more often, have more babies per year, and eat the same prey such as squirrels and woodrats. And now they outnumber spotted owls in many areas of the native bird’s historical range. So in a last-ditch effort to see whether they can save the spotted owls, federal officials are resorting to killing federally protected barred owls.Shanghai Datong High School
Wiens, who works for the U,S, Geological Survey, now views his gun as a “research tool” in humankind’s attempts to maintain biodiversity in order to rebalance the forest ecosystem. Because the barred owl has few predators in Northwest forests, he sees his team’s role as apex predator, acting as a cap on a population that does not have one.
Michael Harris, who directs the wildlife law program for Friends of Animals, thinks that the government should focus on what humans are doing to the environment and protect habitats rather than scapegoate barred owls. “Things were put into motion a century ago. We really have to let these things work themselves out,” said Harris. “It’s going to be very common with climate change. What are we going to do—pick and choose the winners ”
55. What did Dave Wiens imply by saying “our backs are up against the wall” in Paragraph 3 Shanghai Datong High School
A. He still feels guilty about killing the barred owl in large numbers.
B. The Northern spotted owl has already been pushed to the brink of extinction.
C. Federal officials have been left with no choice but to kill barred owls to save northern spotted owls.
D. The U.S. government hasn’t found out exactly why the number of northern spotted owls has been dropping.
56. Paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly explain _______.
A. how logging affected the survival of norther spotted owls
B. why the U.S. government decided to conduct the experiment
C. how the U.S. government has managed to protect barred owls
D. why barred owls have been able to adapt themselves to life on the West Coast
57. According to the article, what sparked off the controversy
A. Both owls should have been protected by federal laws.
B. The killing of barred owls could have been done more humanely.
C. Humans shouldn’t be intervening in the maintenance of biodiversity.
D. The experiment poses a challenge to the theory of “survival of the fittest”
58. According to Michael Harris, the problem of northern spotted owls probably resulted from ______.
A. the invasion of the barred owls
B. logging in the old-growth forests
C. the effects of human activities on the habitat of barred owls
D. the increasingly serious effects of climate change on ecosystems

Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. (8%)
When a person experiences such an event, it can often cause a frightening panic attack.
The term “past experiences”, according to one expert, can extend to the moment of birth.
In extreme cases, the very sight of a closed door can lead to feelings of anxiety in a person.
Treatment for claustrophobia can also include medication or a combination of several treatments.
Flooding is a type of exposure treatment in which the person is exposed to a situation until the anxiety attack passes.
When a person with claustrophobia finds herself in a restricted space, her body responds in certain ways.
Claustrophobia, or fear often closed spaces, is one of the most common fears. Claustrophobia can be deep fear or even panic as a result of being in a small space.
Claustrophobia can develop after a troubling “past experience”, whether it is a childhood experience (such as being trapped in a small space during a childhood game), or an unpleasant experience later on in life related to small spaces (such as being stuck in a lift). ___59___ This response then becomes programmed in the brain, making an association between being in a tight space and feeling anxious or out-of-control. As a result, the person often develops claustrophobia.Shanghai Datong High School
According to Mark Powers, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology at Souther Methodist University,“Claustrophobia is a specific fear and not a type of panic disorder. The primary specific danger forecasts for claustrophobia are that either the person will be trapped or run out of air.”
___60___ Claustrophobia symptoms can include: sweating, accelerated heartbeat, upset stomach, passing out, light-headedness, shaking, breathing problem, etc.
Some common situations can cause anxiety in claustrophobia sufferers. The claustrophobia sufferer will look for an exit when inside a room, avoid driving on the highway or major roads where there is heavy traffic when inside a car, avoid taking lifts when inside a building, or stand near a door when at a party. ___61___
