  • 第2题:

    Text 2In Don Juan Lord Byron wrote, "Sweet is revenge—especially to women." But a study released on Wednesday, supported by magnetic resonance imaging, suggests that men may be the more natural avengers.

    In the study, when male subjects witnessed people they perceived as bad guys being stroke by a mild electrical shock, their M.R.I. scans lit up in primitive brain areas associated with reward. Their brains' empathy centers remained dull. Women watching the punishment, in contrast, showed no response in centers associated with pleasure. Even though they also said they did not like the bad guys, their empathy centers still quietly gloved.

    The study seems to show for the first time in physical terms what many people probably assume they already know: that women are generally more empathetic than men, and that men, and that men take great pleasure in seeing revenge exacted. Men "expressed more desire for revenge and seemed to feel satisfaction when unfair people were given what they perceived as deserved physical punishment," said Dr. Tania Singer, the lead researcher, of the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience at University College London. But far from condemning the male impulse for retribution, Dr. Singer said it had an important social function: "This type of behavior. has probably been crucial in the evolution of society as the majority of people in a group are motivated to punish those who cheat on the rest."

    The study is part of a growing body of research that is attempting to better understand behavior. and emotions by observing simultaneous physiological changes in the brain, a technique now attainable through imaging. "Imaging is still in its early days but we are transitioning from a descriptive to a more mechanistic type of study," said Dr. Klaas Enno Stephan, a co-author of the paper.

    Dr. Singer's team was simply trying to see if the study subjects' degree of empathy correlated with how much they liked or disliked the person being punished. They had not set out to look into ** differences. To cultivate personal likes and dislikes in their 32 volunteers, they asked them to play a complex money strategy game, where both members of a pair would profit if both behaved cooperatively. The ranks of volunteers were infiltrated by actors told to play selfishly. Volunteers came quickly to "very much like" the partners who were cooperative, while disliking those who hided rewards, Dr. Stephan said. Effectively conditioned to like and dislike their game-playing partners, the 32 subjects were placed in scanners and asked to watch the various partners receive electrical shocks. On scans, both men and women seemed to feel the pain of partners they liked. But the real surprise came during scans when the subjects viewed the partners they disliked being shocked. "When women saw the shock, they still had an empathetic response, even though it was reduced," Dr. Stephan said. "The men had none at all." Furthermore, researchers found that the brain's pleasure centers lit up in males when just punishment was meted out.

    The researchers cautioned that it was not clear if men and women are born with divergent responses to revenge or if their social experiences generate the responses. Dr. Singer said larger studies were needed to see if differing responses would be seen in cases involving revenge that did not involve pain. Still, she added, "This investigation would seem to indicate there is a predominant role for men in maintaining justice and issuing punishment."

    第26题:Lord Byron\'s words mean ______.

    A. Women are crueler than men

    B. Revenge on women is sweeter

    Passage Three(31~35) Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe。

    “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer-“That’s not a problem here,” Mahoney began to feel uneasy。

    “No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it. ” Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. ”

    But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc, the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group。

    To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions。

    ADHD Linked to Air Pollutants
    Children have an increased of attention problems,seen as early as grade school,if their no-ses inhaled(吸入)a certain type of air pollution when they were pregnant. That's the finding of a new study.Released when things aren't burned completely,this pollution is known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,or PAHs.The biggest sources of these PAHs:the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash.
    Frederica Perera works at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City.She researches how exposure to things in the environment affects children's health.In a new study,she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City. Because burning tobacco can spew(排放)PAHs into the air and lungs, Perera's team focused on nonsmokers. The researchers wanted to probe(探查)other sources of PAHs,ones that's would have been hard for an individual to avoid.
    The team started by testing the blood of each woman during pregnancy.The reason:Any PAHs in a woman's blood would also be available to the baby in her womb.Nine years later,the researchers investigated signs of attention problems in those children,now age 9 .They asked each child's mother a series of questions.These included whatever her child had problems doing things that needed sustained(长期的)mental effort, such as homework or games with friends. The sci-entists also asked if the kids had trouble following instructions or made frequent,careless mis-takes .All of these can be symptoms of a disorder called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD.About one in U.S.children has ADHD.
    Among the women studied,traffic and home heating were the primary sources of air pollution exposure,Perera and her team suspect. Some of these women had low levels of PAHs in their blood .Others had high levels.Those with high levels were five times as likely to have children who showed attention problems by age 9 .The new findings were published November 5 in the journal PLOS ONE.

    The women with high levels of PAHs in their blood were more likely to have kids with ADHD.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C: Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第二段中“In a new study, she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City.”可知,她们只是在纽约市挑选不吸烟的孕妇,因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    根据第二段“The researchers wanted to probe(探查)other sources of PAHs, ones that's would have been hard for an individual to avoid.”可知,研究的目的是找出除香烟外其他能排放多环芳烃的原料。题干陈述的是所有可以排放多环芳烃的原料,与原文不符。故选B。


    由第二段内容可知,研究者们选择不吸烟的妈妈,是已经知道了香烟可以释放多环芳烃,为了排除香烟对研究结果的影响,而找出其他可以排放多环芳烃的物质。因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    与该题相关的信息在第三段首句,首句只是提到在每个妇女孕期测试她们的血液,但并没有说每月测一次,多久测一次文中并未提到。因此本题选C。


    文章中并未提到患有注意缺陷多动障碍的儿童在学校经常失败,故选C。


    根据最后一段“Those with high levels were five times as likely to have children who showed attention problems by age 9.”可知,血液中多环芳烃含量高的妇女,她们的孩子更有可能患有注意缺陷多动障碍。句子中的attention problems指的就是ADHD。


    文章第一段最后一句“The biggest sources of these PAHs:the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash.”提出,多环芳烃的最大来源是化石、木材和废物的燃烧。而交通和家庭产热只是研究范围内的最大多环芳烃产生来源。因此题干叙述错误,选B。

    Ants Have Big Impact on Environment as“Ecosystem Engineers”
    Research by the University of Exeter has revealed that ants have a big impact on their local environment as a result of their activity as“ecosystem engineers”and predators. The study,published in the Journal of Animal Ecology,found that ants have two distinct effects on their local environment.
    Firstly,through moving of soil by nest building activity and by collecting food they af-fect the level of nutrients in the soil. This can indirectly impact the local populations of many animal groups,from decomposers to species much higher up the food chain.
    Secondly,they prey on a wide range of other animals,including larger prey which can be attacked by vast numbers of ant workers.
    Dirk Sanders,an author of the study from the university's Centre for Ecology and Con-servation,said:“Ants are very effective predators which thrive in huge numbers. They're al-so very territorial and very aggressive,defending their resources and territory against other predators. All of this means they have a strong influence on their surrounding area.”
    “In this research,we studied for the first time how big this impact is and the subtleties of it. What we found is that despite being predators,their presence can also lead to an increase in density and diversity of other animal groups. They genuinely play a key role in the local environment,having a big influence on the grassland food web,”Sanders said.
    The study,carried out in Germany,studied the impact of the presence of different combinations and densities of black garden ants and common red ants,both species which can be found across Europe,including in the UK.It found that a low density of ants in an area increased the diversity and density of other animals in the local area,particularly the density of herbivores and decomposers. At higher densities ants had no or the opposite effect,showing that predation is counteracting the positive influence.
    Dr Frank van Veen,another author on the study,said:“What we find is that the impact of ants on soil nutrient levels has a positive effect on animal groups at low levels,but as the number of ants increases,their predatory impacts have the bigger effect一thereby counteracting the positive influence via ecosystem engineering.”
    Ants are important components of ecosystems not only because they constitute a great part of the animal biomass but also because they act as ecosystem engineers. Ant biodiversity is incredibly high and these organisms are highly responsive to human impact,which obviously reduces its richness. However,it is not clear how such disturbance damages the maintenance of ant services to the ecosystem. Ants are important in below ground processes through the alteration of the physical and chemical environment and through their effects on plants,microorganisms,and other soil organisms.

    Dirk Sanders'study centered on how ants______.
    A: can manage to thrive in huge numbers
    B: defend their resources and territory against other predators
    C: attack those invading animals for survival
    D: produce such a big impact on the environment

    答案:D
    解析:
    题干意为“为什么蚂蚁被比喻为生态系统的工程师?”虽然题干中出现了细节信息词/短语ants , ecosystem engineers,但它们都是短文主题词(出现在短文标题中的名词及名词短语),因此不用它们作为定位线索。备选项中也出现了细节信息词/短语own nests, food , activity , environment , predators,利用它们作为定位线索,在短文中第一段和第二段中 找到相关句:(第一段)Research by the University of Exeter has revealed that ants have a big impact on their local environment as a result of their activity as“ecosystem engineers”and predators.The study,published in the Journal of Animal Ecology,found that ants have two distinct effects on their local environment. (第二段)Firstly, through moving of soil by nest building activity and by collecting food they affect the level of nutrients in the soil. This can indirectly impact the local populations of many animal groups, from decomposers to species much higher up the food chain.定位线索词分散出现在两个段落中,因此这两个段落都需要关注。第一段提到“Exeter大学所做的研究表明,蚂蚁作为 ‘生态系统工程师’和食肉动物的活动对当地的环境影响很大。该研究发表在《动物生态学》杂志上,这项研究发现蚂蚁对当地的环境有着两个显著的影响”。第二段第一句中也出现了定位线索词,因此也关注这个句子。该句意为“第一,通过挪动土壤筑巢或采集食物,蚂蚁影响土壤的营养水平”。结合这两个句子的意思可以得出这样的结论:蚂蚁挪动土壤筑巢或采集食物这类活动影响着土壤的营养水平,以至于最终它们对当地环境产生巨大的影响,因此蚂蚁被称为“生态系统工程师”。因此答案为C项“因为蚂蚁的活动对环境产生了影响”。
    题干意为“作为食肉动物,蚂蚁……”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息 词/短语predators,small as well as large animals,nutritious food,soil,food,decomposers, species,food chain作为定位线索,在第三段中找到相关句:Secondly, they prey on a wide range of other animals(与small as well as large animals呼应),including larger prey which can be attacked by vast numbers of ant workers.第三段是独立成段句,这样的段落常设置问题。该句提到“第二,它们捕食各种各样的动物,包括那些被大量工蚁吞吃的大猎物”。由此可知蚂蚁会捕食各种各样的动物,甚至包括体积比它们大的动物,因此答案为A项“捕食体积小的动物也捕食体积大的动物”。
    题干意为“Dirk Sanders以蚂蚁怎样……为研究中心”。利用题干及备选项中的细节信息词/短语Dirk Sanders' study, huge numbers, resources and territory, other predators,invading animals,survival,big impact on the environment作为定位线索,在第四段和第五段中找到相关句:(第四段)Dirk Sanders, an author of the study from the university's Centre for Ecology and Conservation,said:“Ants are very effective predators which thrive in huge numbers.They're also very territorial and very aggressive,defending their resources and territory against other predators.All of this means they have a strong influence on their surrounding area.” (第五段)“In this research, we studied for the first time how big this impact is and the subtleties of it.What we found is that despite being predators,their presence can also lead to an increase in density and diversity of other animal groups.They genuinely play a key role in the local environment(与big impact on the environment呼应),having a big influence on the grassland food web,” Sanders said.定位线索词分散出现在第四段和第五段中,因此这两个段落都需要关注。第四段提到“Dirk Sanders是这项研究的发起人,就职于该大学的生态与保护中心,他说‘蚂蚁是高效的食肉动物,而且能大量繁殖。它们具有很强的领地意识,而且会竭尽全力对抗其他的食肉动物来保护自己的领地。所有这些都意味着蚂蚁对周围环境有很大的影响’”。接下来第五段提到“在这项研究中,我们(回指前一段中提到的包括Dirk Sanders在内的研究者们)第一次对蚂蚁带来的这种影响及微妙程度进行研究”。该句表明Dirk Sanders 以蚂蚁带来的这种影响为研究中心。“这种影响”回指上一段中提到的蚂蚁对周围环境的影响,因此该题答案为D项“(蚂蚁怎样)对环境产生如此巨大的影响”。

    Going Her Own Way

    When she was twelve,Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life.She decided
    that she wanted to continue her education.Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home after
    primary school,though some attended private Catholic"finishing"schools.There they learned a little about
    music,art,needlework,and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested
    Maria-or her mother. By this time,she had begun to take her studies more seriously.She read constantly
    and brought her books everywhere.One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study
    in the dark.
    Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way.That meant attending the public high
    school,something that very few girls did.In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools:the
    "classical"schools and the"technical"schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very tradi-
    tional program of studies,with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and
    history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
    Maria,however,wanted to attend a technical school.The technical schools were more modern than the
    classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages,mathematics,science,and accounting. Most
    people一including Maria's father一believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.
    Furthermore,they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
    Maria did not care if it was proper or not.Math and science were the subjects that interested her most.
    But before she could sign up for the technical school,she had to win her father's approval. She finally did,
    with her mother's help,though for many years after,there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to
    oppose her plans,while her mother helped her.
    In 1883,at age thirteen,Maria entered the"Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti"in Rome.
    Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine.Though the courses included modern subjects,the
    teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating
    them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way.
    Teachers were very demanding;discipline in the classroom was strict;punishment was severe for those who
    failed to achieve or were disobedient.

    Maria's father probably__________.
    A:had very modern views about women
    B:had traditional views about women
    C:had no opinion about women
    D:thought women could not learn Latin

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第三段第一句话“Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school.”可知答案为C。
    由文章第一段第三句话“Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home afterprimary school...”可知答案为B
    由文章第三段倒数第二句话“Most people including Maria' s father believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.”说明玛利亚的父亲对女人所持的是传统观念。
    由文章最后一段最后一句话可知,在那时的意大利高中学校中,教师是非常严格的。
    文章内容表明,玛利亚意志非常坚定,她冲破传统的束缚,进了她向往的技校。

    问答题
    Passage 2The History of Women’s Suffrage  A  In the early nineteenth century, women were considered second-class citizens whose existence was limited to the interior life of the home and care of the children. Women were considered subsets of their husbands, and after marriage they did not have the right to own property, maintain their wages, or sign a contract, much less vote. It was expected that women be obedient wives, never to hold a thought or opinion independent of their husbands. It was considered improper for women to travel alone or to speak in public. With the belief that intense physical or intellectual activity would be injurious to the delicate female biology and reproductive system, women were taught to refrain from pursuing any serious education. Silently perched in their birdcages, women were considered merely objects of beauty, and were looked upon as intellectually and physically inferior to men. This belief in women’s inferiority to men was further reinforced by organized religion which preached strict and well-defined sex roles.  B The Seneca Falls Convention  The women’s suffrage movement was formally set into motion in 1848 with the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York.  The catalyst for this gathering was the World Anti-Slavery Convention held in 1840 in London and attended by an American delegation which included a number of women. In attendance were Lucretia Mort and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who were forced to sit in the galleries as observers because they were women. This poor treatment did not rest well with these women of progressive thoughts, and it was decided that they would hold their own convention to “discuss the social, civil and religious rights of women”.  Using The Declaration of Independence as a guideline, Stanton presented her Declaration of Principles in her hometown chapel and brought to light women’s subordinate status and made recommendations for change.  Resolution 9 requesting the right to vote was perhaps the most important in that it expressed the demand for sexual equality. Subsequent to the Seneca Falls Convention, the demand for the vote became the centerpiece of the women’s rights movement.  C  Suffrage During the Civil War  During the Civil War, women’s suffrage was eclipsed by the war effort and movement for the abolition of slavery. While annual conventions were held on a regular basis, there was much discussion but little action. Activists such as slave-born Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony lectured and petitioned the government for the emancipation of slaves with the belief that, once the war was over, women and slaves alike would be granted the same rights as the white men. At the end of the war, however, the government saw the suffrage of women and that of the negro as two separate issues and it was decided that the negro vote could produce the immediate political gain, particularly in the South, that the women’s vote could not.  Abraham Lincoln declared, “This hour belongs to the negro.”  D  Women Unite  With the side-stepping of women’s rights, women activists became enraged, and the American Equal Rights Association was established by Stanton and her colleagues in 1866 in effort to organize in the fight for women’s rights. In 1868, the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment proved an affront to the women’s movement, as it defined “citizenship” and “voters” as “male”, and raised the question as to whether women were considered citizens of the United States at all. The exclusion of women was further reinforced with the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870, which enfranchised black men. In a disagreement over these Amendments, the women’s movement split into two factions. In New York, Stanton and Anthony established the radical National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell organized the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston. These two groups later merged in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.  E  Winning the Vote  Susan B. Anthony was arrested for attempting to vote for Ulysses S. Grant in the 1872 presidential election. Six years later, in 1878, a Women’s Suffrage Amendment was introduced to U.S. Congress. With the formation of numerous groups, such as the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) and, the Women’s Trade Union League, the women’s movement gained a full head of steam during the 1890’s and early 1900’s. The U.S. involvement in World War I in 1918 slowed down the suffrage campaign as women pitched in for the war effort. However, in 1919, after years of petitioning, picketing, and protest parades, the Nineteenth Amendment was passed by both houses of Congress and in 1920 it became ratified under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson.  F Amendment xix  1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.  2. Congress shall have power to enforce this Article by appropriate legislation. (Ratified August 26, 1920)  G  Equal Rights Amendment  Upon this victory of the vote, the NAWSA disbanded as an organization, giving birth to the League of Women Voters. The vote was not enough to secure women’s equal rights according to Alice Paul, founder of the National Woman’s Party (NWP), who moved to take women’s rights one step further by proposing the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.) to Congress in 1923. This demand to eliminate discrimination on the basis of gender failed to pass.  The push for the E.R.A. continued on a state-by-state basis, until the newly formed National Organization for Women (NOW) launched a national campaign during the 1960’s.  Despite many heated debates and protests, the E.R.A., while passed by Congress in 1972, has never been ratified.  Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2?  In boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet, write  TRUE       if the statement agrees with the information  FALSE       if the statement contradicts the information  NOT GIVEN     if there is no information on this  1.

Men were not allowed to join the National Woman Suffrage Association.  5. The National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) was less radical than the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA).  6. Abraham Lincoln was not sympathetic to the women’s movement.

    正确答案: 1. TRUE
    (根据题干关键词early nineteenth century, men and women, different roles可定位到原文A第一段的首句“In the early nineteenth century, women were considered second-class citizens whose existence was limited to the interior life of the home and care of the children”,由此可知在19世纪早期女性被视为二等公民,只能在家中做家务或照顾孩子,所以题干表述是正确的。因而答案为TRUE。)
    2. TRUE
    (根据题干关键词The World Ant-Slavery Convention (ASC)和first Women’s Right Convention (WRC)可定位到B第二段的第一句“The catalyst for this gathering was the World Anti-Slavery Convention held in 1840 in London and attended by an American delegation which included a number of women”,其中this gathering指的就是女权运动,因此可知题干表述是完全正确的。因而答案为TRUE。)
    3. FALSE
    (根据题干关键词American Civil War和flourished可定位到原文C部分首句“During the Civil War, women’s suffrage was eclipsed by the war effort and movement for the abolition of slavery”,文中eclipsed意思是“遮暗,使失色”,因此可知在内战期间女性选举权运动受到了影响,因此题干表述是不符合原文的。因而答案是FALSE。)
    4. NOT GIVEN
    (根据题干关键词National Woman Suffrage Association可定位到原文D部分尾句“Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell organized the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston. These two groups later merged in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton”,该句中并未提到男人是否可以加入全国妇女选举协会这个组织,因而答案是NOT GIVEN。)
    5. FALSE
    (根据题干关键词National Woman Suffrage Association(NWSA), less radical和American Woman Suffrage Association(AWSA)可定位到D部分倒数第一、二句“Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell organized the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston. These two groups later merged in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) under the leadership of Elizabeth Cady Stanton”,通过这句话可知AWSA更保守一些,因此,可知答案应该是FALSE。)
    6. NOT GIVEN
    (根据题干关键词Abraham Lincoln和not sympathetic可定位到原文C段尾句“Abraham Lincoln declared, ‘This hour belongs to the negro’”,这句话只是林肯对黑人说的一句话,并不是它对于女权运动的态度,因此,答案是NOT GIVEN。)

  • 第14题:

    Dr. Singer thinks men are more suitable to maintain justice and issue punishment than women because _______ .

    A. men's brain's empathy centers remained dull when punishment was executed

    B. women's pleasure centers were lit up with punishment implemented

    C. men have no response when seeing punishment executed

    D. men had different experiences from women


    正确答案:A
    A 推理判断题。Dr. Singer之所以认为男人更适合维持公正、执行惩罚是和其天生的本性有关的,从文章前面可以看出,男人看到惩罚坏人时会有愉悦感,而女人则有一点怜悯感,这就是男人比女人更适合做这些工作的原因。选项A“执行惩罚时神入中心呈迟钝状”,说明这是没有同情的感情在;B“执行惩罚时女人的愉悦中心会发亮”,和文章事实相反;C“男人看到执行惩罚时没有反应”,而文中提到其愉悦中心发亮,有愉悦感;D“男人和女人有不同的经历”。故选A。

    ADHD Linked to Air Pollutants
    Children have an increased of attention problems,seen as early as grade school,if their no-ses inhaled(吸入)a certain type of air pollution when they were pregnant. That's the finding of a new study.Released when things aren't burned completely,this pollution is known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,or PAHs.The biggest sources of these PAHs:the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash.
    Frederica Perera works at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City.She researches how exposure to things in the environment affects children's health.In a new study,she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City. Because burning tobacco can spew(排放)PAHs into the air and lungs, Perera's team focused on nonsmokers. The researchers wanted to probe(探查)other sources of PAHs,ones that's would have been hard for an individual to avoid.
    The team started by testing the blood of each woman during pregnancy.The reason:Any PAHs in a woman's blood would also be available to the baby in her womb.Nine years later,the researchers investigated signs of attention problems in those children,now age 9 .They asked each child's mother a series of questions.These included whatever her child had problems doing things that needed sustained(长期的)mental effort, such as homework or games with friends. The sci-entists also asked if the kids had trouble following instructions or made frequent,careless mis-takes .All of these can be symptoms of a disorder called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD.About one in U.S.children has ADHD.
    Among the women studied,traffic and home heating were the primary sources of air pollution exposure,Perera and her team suspect. Some of these women had low levels of PAHs in their blood .Others had high levels.Those with high levels were five times as likely to have children who showed attention problems by age 9 .The new findings were published November 5 in the journal PLOS ONE.

    The main purpose of the research was to find out how exposure to PAHs played a role in har-ming the subjects' physical health.
    A:Right
    B: Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据第二段中“In a new study, she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City.”可知,她们只是在纽约市挑选不吸烟的孕妇,因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    根据第二段“The researchers wanted to probe(探查)other sources of PAHs, ones that's would have been hard for an individual to avoid.”可知,研究的目的是找出除香烟外其他能排放多环芳烃的原料。题干陈述的是所有可以排放多环芳烃的原料,与原文不符。故选B。


    由第二段内容可知,研究者们选择不吸烟的妈妈,是已经知道了香烟可以释放多环芳烃,为了排除香烟对研究结果的影响,而找出其他可以排放多环芳烃的物质。因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    与该题相关的信息在第三段首句,首句只是提到在每个妇女孕期测试她们的血液,但并没有说每月测一次,多久测一次文中并未提到。因此本题选C。


    文章中并未提到患有注意缺陷多动障碍的儿童在学校经常失败,故选C。


    根据最后一段“Those with high levels were five times as likely to have children who showed attention problems by age 9.”可知,血液中多环芳烃含量高的妇女,她们的孩子更有可能患有注意缺陷多动障碍。句子中的attention problems指的就是ADHD。


    文章第一段最后一句“The biggest sources of these PAHs:the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash.”提出,多环芳烃的最大来源是化石、木材和废物的燃烧。而交通和家庭产热只是研究范围内的最大多环芳烃产生来源。因此题干叙述错误,选B。

  • 第18题:

    When researchers first discovered a link in the late 1990s between childhood adversity and chronic health problem later in life, the real revelation was how common those experiences were across all socioeconomic groups. But the first major study to focus on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) was limited to a single healthcare system in San Diego. A study published in JAMA Pediatrics- the largest nationally representative study to date on ACEs一confirms that these experiences are universal, yet highlights some disparities among socioeconomic groups.
    The current study finds three out of five adults across the U.S. had at least one adverse experience in their childhood, such as divorce, a parent's death, physical or emotional abuse, or a family member's incarceration or substance abuse problem. A quarter of adults have at least three such experiences in childhood, which according to other research- increase their risk for most common chronic diseases, from heart disease and cancer to depression and substance abuse.
    "This is the first study of this kind that alows us to talk about adverse childhood experience as a public health problem in the same way we talk about obesity or hypertension or any other highly prevalent population risk factor" says Adam Schickedanz, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, who was not involved in the research. "Up until now,we haven't really had a study that takes a national look .
    The study researchers, led by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researcher Melissa T. Merrick, analyzed data from 214, 157 adults in 23 states recently. The participants answered 11 questions about whether they'd experienced what have now become well recognized as ACEs: parental separation or divorce, child abuse (physical, emotional and sexual ), domestic violence and living with someone who has been incarcerated or has a mental ilness or a substance use disorder.Nearly 62 percent of respondents had at least one ACE and a quarter reported three or more. The remaining respondents had at least two ACES, including 16 percent with four or more such experiences .Those identifying as black or Latino and those with less than a high school education or an annual income below $15,000 were more likely to have more ACES. Women, younger adults,unemployed people and those unable to work also tended to have more ACES. But Schickedant cautions that, while the disparities are real, it's important to recognize how common these experiences are among all people, including white and middle class families.”This study shows that ACEs affect people from all walks of life everywhere," he says.
    This new study suggests that a need to target prevention resources where they can help most,says Jack Shonkoff, a professor of child health and development at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. This requires identifying what makes some people more susceptible than others to the effects of adversity,“Nobody is immune to adverse experiences in childhood but for some population groups, they're a larger burden of childhood adversity than others." he says.
    What can we learn from the passage?

    A. There are gender differences in the effect of ACEs.
    B. Genetics play an important role in health outcomes.
    C. Middle class families are more likely to have more ACEs.
    D. ACEs can exert lifelong impact on people's mental health.

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第三段Wormen, younger adults, unemployed people and those unable to work also tended to have more ACES.可知,女性往往有更多的不良经历,故A正确; B:基因对身体健康结果影响很大,原文未提到基因会造成影响,只说了不同种族,如拉丁裔籍,
    以及高中以下学历或年收入低于1.5 万美元的人更有可能有更多不良经历。女性、年轻人、失业者和那些无法工作的人也往往有更多的不良经历。都不是“基因”造成的,故排除B。C:原文并未说中产阶级更容易有童年不良经历。原文提到中产阶级只说了:“Schickedant警告说,尽管这种差异是真实存在的,但重要的是要认识到这些经历在所有人当中有多么普遍,包括白人和中产阶级家庭。”意味着这些不良经历在中产阶级家庭中也存在而已,故排除C;D的“lfelong impact"文中未提及,排除。故本题选A。

    Passage Five
    In 1924,Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix,France.But the American skiers came home without medals.Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year.They did the same for many years after.From 1924 through 1972,the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips.The U.S.was generally thought to be weak in ski competition
    But in 1974 it was discovered that the U.S.record was slightly better than people had been led to believe.And Norway's record was not quite as good.The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans,but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen.After fifty years,Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924.
    In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924,Haugen had scored in fourth place.He had just missed earning a medal.His score was 17.916,just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway.Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal.
    But in 1974,Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results.There had been an error in?computing?Haug's score!So Haugen,now,an elderly man,traveled across the ocean for his award.On September 12,1974,hewas given a bronze medal in a special ceremony at the Norway Ski Museum.

    问答题
    Passage 2  Many scientists have wondered whether there is some quirk in the way depression is inherited, such as a depressed parent or grandparent is more likely to pass on a predisposition for the disorder to female than to male descendants. Based on studies that trace family histories of depression, the answer to that question appears to be no. (1)______  Simply tracing family histories, though, without considering environmental influences, might not offer a complete picture of how depression is inherited.  Indeed, Kenneth S. Kendler and his colleagues at the Medical College of Virginia found in a study of 2060 female twins that genetics might contribute to how women respond to environmental pressures. The researchers examined twins with and without a family history of depression; some twins in both groups had recently undergone a trauma, such as the death of a loved one or a divorce. The investigators found that among the women who did not have a family history of depression, stressful events raised their risk for depression by only 6 percent. (2)______.  A similar study has not been done in men, leaving open the question of whether environmental stress and genetic risk for depression interact similarly in both sexes. But research is being done, to determine whether men and women generally experience similar amounts and types of stress. Studies of key hormones hint that they do not. Hormones are not new to depression researchers. Many have wondered whether the gonadal steroids estrogen and progesterone--whose cyclic fluctuations in women regulate menstruation--might put women at a greater risk for depression. There are at least two ways in which they might do so.  First, because of differences between theX and Y chromosomes, male and female brains are exposed to different hormonal milieus. (3)______.  Indeed, animal experiments show that early hormonal influences have marked behavioral consequences later on, although the phenomenon is of course difficult to study in humans.  Second, the fact that postpuberal men and women have different levels of circulating gonad steroids might somehow pull women at higher risk for depression. Research shows girls become more susceptible to depression than boys only after puberty, when they begin menstruating and experience hormonal fluxes. (4)______.  For example, Peter J. Schmidt and David R. Rubinow of the National Institute of Mental Health recently reported that manipulations of estrogen and progesterone did not affect mood, except in women who suffer from severe premenstrual mood changes.  It now appears, however, that estrogen might set the stage for depression indirectly by priming the body's stress response. During stressful times, the adrenal glands--which sit on top of the kidneys and are controlled by the pituitary gland in the brain--secrete higher levels of a hormone called cortical, which increases the activity of the body's metabolic and immune systems, among others: (5)______.  Evidence is emerging that estrogen might not only increase cortical secretion but also decrease mortise’s ability to shut down its own secretion. The result might be a stress response that is not only more pronounced but also longer-lasting in women than in men.[A] But the same risk rose almost 14 percent among the women who did have a family history of depression. In other words, these women had seemingly inherited the propensity to become depressed in the wake of crises.[B] To figure out why depression is more common among women, scientists have to study how genetics and environment divide the sexes and how the two conspire to produce the symptoms we describe as depression.[C] In the normal course of events, stress increases cortical secretion, but these elevated levels have a negative feedback effect on the pituitary, so that cortical levels gradually return to normal;[D] Despite their importance, estrogen and cortical are not the only hormones involved in female depression, medium stress is not the only environmental influence that might hold more sway over women than men.[E] These hormonal differences may affect brain development so that men and women have different vulnerabilities and different physiological reactions to environmental stresses later in life.[F] Even so, scientists have never been able to establish a direct relation between emotional states and levels of estrogen and progesterone in the blood of women.[G] Women and men with similar heritage seem equally likely to develop disorder.

    正确答案: 1.G 本段一开始讲到科学家对忧郁症遗传的特殊倾向感到好奇,比如更容易传给女性后代而不是男性后代。接着文章又说到根据相关研究,所得出的答案似乎不是这样的,由此可知,应该给出与前文不同的答案。G项中提到拥有同样遗传基因的男性和女性患此症的几率均等,符合上下文语境,因此选G项。
    2.A 本段一开始就提到肯德尔和他的同事研究发现遗传学可能用来解释女性如何应对环境压力。接着开始介绍具体的实验过程和结果。空格前面提到无家族病史的女性的患病几率,由此可以推测,空格部分应该介绍有家族病史研究对象的情况。选项A提到“但有家族抑郁病史的女性的患病几率提高了14%。”所以,选项A正确。
    3.E 空格前面提到男人和女人的X和Y染色体的不同使两者的大脑处于不同的荷尔蒙环境中。空格处后文通过动物实验进一步强调,早期荷尔蒙环境会影响后天的行为。选项E“这些在荷尔蒙上的差别能够影响大脑发展,所以男性和女性成年后其脆弱程度不同,对环境压力做出的生理反应也不相同”符合上下文语境,所以选E项。
    4.F 空格处前面的内容讲到青春期后男性和女性有不同水平的性生殖腺类固醇或许可以解释为什么女性较容易忧郁。空格后面作者例举施密特和鲁比诺的研究报告,表明对于雌激素和孕酮的控制并不能影响情绪。该例子与空格前面的内容形成对比,由此推测空格部分内容应该与空格前面的内容构成转折。F项提到科学家无法构建情绪与雌激素和孕酮水平的直接联系,符合上下文语境。
    5.C 本段主要讲的是可的松分泌与感受压力,进而发生忧郁之间的关系。C项意思为“正常情况下,压力使得可的松的分泌增加,但是这种增加会让脑下垂体做出负面反应,因而使可的松量逐渐恢复正常”,能很好的承接上文,因此选C项。
