Four schoolchildren from Belgrave, England were out on their bikes on Wednesday evening. Unexpectedly, they saw an elderly man grasping for breath in the street. They tried to call the police and ambulance service, but their phones were not working, due to network problems.
Before the Polish man became unconscious, the children kept him calm while they flagged down(招停) a passing driver. The children used words they had picked up from their Polish classmates to translate the injured man’s answer to the driver’s questions. Gary, 10, and his six-year-old sister, Lily, stayed with the man while Thymus and Owen, both 11, led the ambulance to the spot where he lay. Soon the man was taken to hospital.
The fantastic four children who came to the aid of the elderly man deserve the highest respect for their quick thinking and courage in an emergency situation. They are a credit not only to themselves, but to their families and their school. And it is great to be able to hear such a positive story about young people.
What is not so positive about this story is the fact that several adults apparently walked by without stopping to help. This seeming indifference to an emergency situation is a well-noted phenomenon which psychologists sometimes refer to as “the bystander effect”. Research suggests that when a group of people witness an emergency, people are likely to assume that somebody else will intervene and they feel that the burden of responsibility is lifted from their shoulders.
Perhaps the answer to this sort of thing is to introduce a “Good Samaritan” law. This already exists in France and places, a legal responsibility on people who witness an emergency situation to help out as long as they can do so. This certainly seems to remove any doubt about who bears the burden of responsibility for offering assistance—everybody!
24. What can we learn about the elderly man? A. He spoke Polish with the children. B. He fell from his bike and got injured. C. He was taken to hospital by a passing driver. D. He recovered consciousness in the street. 25. In Paragraph 3, the author mainly ________.
4
A. expresses his anger at several adults B. offers his special thanks to the driver C. gives high praise to the four children D. shows his great sympathy for the man
26. The underlined word “intervene” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. be curious
B. go on D. give up
C. get involved
27. In France, if an emergency happens to someone, ________. A. offering help to him is required by law B. people have the right to leave the scene C. others must get permission before helping him D. the witnesses will be punished if the rescue fails
C
Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US－the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.
For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort. 28. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To describe different fake buttons. B. To explore the functions of fake buttons.
5
C. To analyze various habits of pushing buttons. D. To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.
29. What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America? A. They were designed for a sense of control. B. They work when people press them hard. C. They never speed up the door-closing process. D. They take the safety of the disabled into account. 30. What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons? A. They help computers work faster. C. They can control the traffic signals.
B. They can make people feel better. D. They help pedestrians cross safely.
31. Which may be the best title for the passage? A. Buttons in the USA
B. Buttons Always Lie D. “Close” Buttons on Lifts
D
When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of
C. Buttons May not Work
loss. For adults, happiness is complex.
My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don’t think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into
6
one more thing we’ve got to have. We’re so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
Happiness isn’t about what happens to us—it’s about how we see what happens to us. It’s the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess. 32. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6? A. She cares little about her own health. B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling. C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life. D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework. 33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?
A. Grandma often found time for social gatherings.
B. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness.
C. Psychologists’ opinion is well proved by Grandma’s case. D. Grandma’s happiness came from modest expectations of life. 34. People who equal happiness with wealth and success ________. A. are more likely to be happy
B. are at a loss to make correct choices
C. stress their right to happiness too much D. consider pressure something blocking their way 35. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Happy is he who is content.
B. Success leads to happiness.
C. Each man is the master of his own fate.D. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Protect Your Ears from Loud Music
Spending too long listening to loud music can cause permanent damage to your ears, resulting in problems such as tinnitus (耳鸣) and hearing loss. However, many music lovers are not aware of how important it is to protect their ears.
A survey led by Action on Hearing Loss showed many people experienced dullness of hearing or ringing in the ears after listening to loud music.
36 The next morning or a couple of days later, your hearing may gradually return to normal but over
time, with continued exposure, there can be permanent damage. The risk of damage to hearing is based on how loud the music is and how long you listen to it for. If you can’t talk to someone two meters away without shouting, the noise level could be damaging. The dangers to hearing are just as serious at an open air music festival as they
7
are in an indoor nightclub. 37 At 140 decibels (分贝) your ears start hurting.
Action on Hearing Loss advises people on how and why they should protect their hearing while enjoying music at concerts and clubs. It recommends simple precautions such as wearing special earplugs, standing away from the speakers, and taking regular breaks from the loudest areas.
38 DJs and musicians have been wearing earplugs for years and many recommend them to fans. These earplugs are designed specifically for clubs and don’t muffle (使听不清) sound. There are different types of earplugs available. 39 This means you can still hear the music the way it is, but at a lower volume.
Anybody’s hearing can be damaged by loud music and nobody can harden their ears against that damage. If you think you’ve toughened up your ears to loud music or become used to loud music, it’s possible you have already suffered some damage. 40 The best solution is to protect your hearing in the first place. A. Many people like to hear loud music. B. Once hearing is gone, it’s gone for good. C. These are the first signs of hearing damage. D. Earplugs are the music industry’s best-kept secret.
E. Most of them work by reducing the noise level that reaches your ears. F. If the noise level in this city is very high, some people will feel uncomfortable.
G. Volumes of 137 decibels have been recorded near the music stages at some music festivals.
