2.The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us aajust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurts a little,” it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensafion, and sensations are the stuff of life. [共5题]1.The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to ________.A.stay relaxedB.avoid painC.stand tortureD.feel pain2.What does the writer mean by saying “we pay for our sensitivity” in Para.1?A.We have to take care of our sense of pain.B.We suffer from our sense of feeling.C.We should try hard to resist pain.D.We are hurt when we feel pain.3.When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he shows that ________.A.fakirs possess magic powerB.Indians are not afraid of painC.people can learn to cope with painD.some people are born without a sense of pain4.What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?A.Their relaxation.B.Their interest.C.Their nerves.D.Their attitude.5.The author believes that ________.A.feeling pain is part of our lifeB.pain should be avoided at all costsC.feeling pain can be an interesting thingD.magic power is essential for reducing pain

参考答案和解析
答案:D
解析:
考查近形词辨析。句意为“研究表明我们对是非的判断力并非仅仅是基于__________、信仰和哲学——而是取决于我们大脑的生理过程”。rise up“上升,起义”,bring-up“养育,培养”,uprising“起义,暴动”,upbrising“教养,养育,抚育”。根据语境,是非的判断力不仅仅基于教养,故选D。

    Scotland:A Land of Wisdom
    In the 1740s,the famous French philosopher Voltaire said"We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilization."That's not a bad advertisement for any country when it comes to attracting people to search for a first-class education.
    According to the American author Arthur Herman,the Scots invented the modem world it-self. He argues that Scottish thinkers and intellectuals worked out many of the most important ideas on which modern life depends-everything from the scientific method to market economics.Their ideas did not just spread among intellectuals,but to those people in business,government and the sciences who actually shaped the Western world.
    It all started during the period that historians call the Scottish Enlightenment(启蒙运动), which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800.Before that,philosophy was mainly concerned with religion.For the thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment,the proper study of humanity was mankind itself.
    Their reasoning was practical.For the philosopher David Hume,humanity was the right sub-ject for philosophy because we can examine human behavior and so find real evidence of how peo-ple think and feel. And from that we can make judgments about the societies we live in and make concrete suggestions about how they can be improved,for universal benefit.
    Hume's enquiry into the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for the scientific method- the pursuit of truth through experiment. His friend and fellow resident of Edinburgh,Adam Smith, famously applied the study of mankind to the ways in which mankind does business. Trade,he ar-gued,was a form of information .In pursuing our own interests through trading in markets,we all come to benefit each other.
    Smith's idea has dominated modern views of economics.It also has wide applications.He was one of the philosophers to point out that nations can become rich,free and powerful through
    peace,trade and invention.
    Although the Scottish Enlightenment ended a long time ago,the ideas which evolved at that time still underpin(构成……的基础)our theories of human exchange and enquiry. It also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence with orientation (方向).

  • 第8题:

    Amold Schwarzenegger.Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for you.It’s easy to beat plastic.They’re part of a bunch of celebrities starring in a new video for World Environment Day-encouraging you,the consumer,to swap out your single-use plastic staples like straws and cutlery to combat the plastics crisis.The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-use plastics.But the overarching message is directed at individuals.My concern with leaving it up to the individual,however,is our limited sense of what needs to be achieved.One their own,taking our own bags to the grocery store or quitting plastic straws,for example,will accomplish little and require very little of us.They could even be detrimental,satisfying a need to have“done our bit”without ever progressing onto bigger,bolder,more effective actions-a kind of“moral licensing”that allays our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge.While the conversation around our environment and our responsibility toward it remains centered on shopping hags and straws,we’re ignoring the balance of power that implies that as“consumers”we must shop sustainably,rather than as“citizens”hole our governments and industries to account to push for real systemic change.It’s important to acknowledge that the environment isn’t everyone’s priority-or even most people’s.We shouldn’t expect it to be.In her latest book,Why Good People Do Bad Environmental Things.Wellesley College professor Elizabeth R.DeSombre argues that the best way to collectively change the behavior of large numbers of people is for the change to be structural.This might mean implementing policy such as a plastic tax that adds a cost to environmentally problematic action,or banning single-use plastics altogether.India has just announced it will“eliminate all single-use plastic in the country by 2022.”There are also incentive-based ways of making better environmental choices easier,such as ensuring recycling is at least as easy as trash disposal.DeSombre isn’t saying people should stop caring about the environment.It’s just that individual actions are too slow,she says,for that to be the only,or even primary,approach to changing widespread behavior.None of this is about writing off the individual.It’s just about putting things into perspective.We don’t have time to wait.We need progressive policies that shape collective action(and rein in polluting businesses),alongside engaged citizens pushing for change.
      The author is concerned that“moral licensing”may_____《》()

    A.mislead us into doing worthless things
    B.prevent us from making further efforts
    C.weaken our sense of accomplishment
    D.suppress our desire for success

    答案:B
    解析:
    题干中问作者担忧“moral licensing”可能如何,利用引号中的关键词定位,回到文章第三段最后一句,“they could even be detrimental,satisfying a need to have“done our bit”without ever progressing onto bigger,bolder,more effective actions-a kind of“moral licensing”that allays our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge.”意为“他们没有采取更大、更明显、更有效的措施...”,仔细观察选项,只有选项B中的”prevent us from making further efforts”,即“妨碍我们进一步的行动”,故而正确答案为B选项。

    A moment's drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain.

    To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the "needle"— a shot of novocaine (奴佛卡因) -that deadens the nerves around the tooth.

    Now it' s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves—and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves— we wouldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain.

    Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)?Little wonder.
    We often believe we′re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are,according to Boza?Keysar,a professor at the University of Chicago.In his recent study,speakers tried to express their?meanings using unclear sentences.Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the?time.Here′s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:
    (1)Don′t trust what you see from the listener.Listeners often nod,look at you or say"uhhuh"to?be polite or move the conversation along.But it′s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.
    (2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head.If you say,"Beth discusses her problems with her?husband,"it′s not clear whether she′s talking to her husband or about him.Try instead,"Beth?talks to her husband about her problems."or"Beth talks to others about the problems with her?husband."
    (3)Ask listeners to repeat your message.Introduce your request by saying"I?want to be sure I said?that right."Questions like"How does that sound?"or"Does that make sense?"may also work.
    (4)Listen well.When on the receiving end,ask questions to be sure you′re on the same?page.After all,it isn′t just the speaker′s job to make his speech understood.


    Why does the writer give us the advice?

    A.We're not skillful enough to make clear sentences.
    B.Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.
    C.Misunderstanding occurs now and then.
    D.It's impolite to say NO to others.

  • 第20题:

    Amold Schwarzenegger.Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for you.It’s easy to beat plastic.They’re part of a bunch of celebrities starring in a new video for World Environment Day-encouraging you,the consumer,to swap out your single-use plastic staples like straws and cutlery to combat the plastics crisis.The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-use plastics.But the overarching message is directed at individuals.My concern with leaving it up to the individual,however,is our limited sense of what needs to be achieved.One their own,taking our own bags to the grocery store or quitting plastic straws,for example,will accomplish little and require very little of us.They could even be detrimental,satisfying a need to have“done our bit”without ever progressing onto bigger,bolder,more effective actions-a kind of“moral licensing”that allays our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge.While the conversation around our environment and our responsibility toward it remains centered on shopping hags and straws,we’re ignoring the balance of power that implies that as“consumers”we must shop sustainably,rather than as“citizens”hole our governments and industries to account to push for real systemic change.It’s important to acknowledge that the environment isn’t everyone’s priority-or even most people’s.We shouldn’t expect it to be.In her latest book,Why Good People Do Bad Environmental Things.Wellesley College professor Elizabeth R.DeSombre argues that the best way to collectively change the behavior of large numbers of people is for the change to be structural.This might mean implementing policy such as a plastic tax that adds a cost to environmentally problematic action,or banning single-use plastics altogether.India has just announced it will“eliminate all single-use plastic in the country by 2022.”There are also incentive-based ways of making better environmental choices easier,such as ensuring recycling is at least as easy as trash disposal.DeSombre isn’t saying people should stop caring about the environment.It’s just that individual actions are too slow,she says,for that to be the only,or even primary,approach to changing widespread behavior.None of this is about writing off the individual.It’s just about putting things into perspective.We don’t have time to wait.We need progressive policies that shape collective action(and rein in polluting businesses),alongside engaged citizens pushing for change.
      By pointing out out identity“citizens”,the author indicates that_____《》()

    A.our focus should be shifted to community welfare
    B.our relationship with local industries is improving
    C.We have been actively exercising our civil rights
    D.We should press our government to lead the combat

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据题干中的关键词“By pointing out our identity as“citizens”,the author indicates that”,我们可以定位到原文中的第四段,因为该段只有一句话,所以根据关键信息我们只需要理解后半句“rather than as“citizens”hold our governments and industries to account to push for real systematic change”,意即“而不是作为“市民”,去推动我们的政府和行业去做出真正的系统性的改变”。意思就是作者希望政府自发作出改变来应对当下的情形,反观选项,只有D选项表达出这一层含义,“我们应该施压于政府使其主导这场斗争”。故而正确答案是D选项。

    Scotland:A Land of Wisdom

    In the 1740s,the famous French philosopher Voltaire said,"We look to Scotland for all
    our ideas of civilization."That's not a bad advertisement for any country when it comes to
    attracting people to search for a first-class education.
    According to the American author Arthur Herman,the Scots invented the modern world
    itself.He argues that Scottish thinkers and intellectuals worked out many of the most
    important ideas on which modern life depends一everything from the scientific method to
    market economics.Their ideas did not just spread among intellectuals,but to those people
    in business,government and the sciences who actually shaped the Western world.
    It all started during the period that historians call the Scottish Enlightenment(启蒙运
    动),which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800.Before that,
    philosophy was mainly concerned with religion. For the thinkers of the Scottish
    Enlightenment,the proper study of humanity was mankind itself.
    Their reasoning was practical.For the philosopher David Hume,humanity was the right
    subject for philosophy because we can examine human behavior and so find real evidence of
    how people think and feel.And from that we can make judgments about the societies we live
    in and make concrete suggestions about how they can be improved for universal benefit.
    Hume's enquiry into the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for the scientific
    method一the pursuit of truth through experiment. His friend and fellow resident of
    Edinburgh,Adam Smith,famously applied the study of mankind to the ways in which
    mankind does business.Trade,he argued,was a form of information.In pursuing our own
    interests through trading in markets,we all come to benefit each other.
    Smith's idea has dominated modern views of economics.It also has wide applications.
    He was one of the philosophers to point out that nations can become rich,free and powerful
    through peace,trade and invention.
    Although the Scottish Enlightenment ended a long time ago,the ideas which evolved at
    that time still underpin(构成······的基础)our theories of human exchange and enquiry. It
    also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence
    with orientation(方向).

    David Hume was the first philosopher to study mankind.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
