试题分析：句意：很多人工作是因为这是不可避免的，相反，有一些人是的确喜欢工作的。根据前后的意思，可以知道前后是表示对比。A意为结果， B意为此外， C意为相反， D意为结论。“不可避免”表述到一种无奈，也就是说，很多人是不得不工作的。后句的表达是“事实上有些人喜欢工作”， “喜欢”和“不得不”刚好构成一种否定，所以答案只能是选C。

Bad Manners in Public

Standing on the street, and looking around, you will see various behaviors of people passing by, and bad manners can be found here and there. Some throw away rubbish wherever they go; some spit on the street; some talk loudly in the cinema; some even sit or lay on the ground without considering other passengers, and so on. All these are really not good behavior in public.

Personally, smoking in crowded place annoys me the most. As we know, smoking is harmful to one's health. It contributes a lot of lung cancer. Scientific research shows that smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health, especially to women and children. I really hope there are some efficient ways to educate these people and help them behave well in public. 略

20. When we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that?

According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.

In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.

According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.

This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.

As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”

Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute.

So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable( 易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive. 27. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to . A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute things B. the task of emotion system and reward system

C. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creatures D. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it 28. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by . A. the need of the brain to balance all feelings B. the photos of cute human babies and animals C. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animals D. the conflict between emotion system and reward system 29. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE? A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed. B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.

C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants. D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison. 30. What is the author's purpose in writing this text? A. To persuade readers to protect cute animals. B. To stress the significance of cute aggression. C. To present research findings on cute aggression. D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers

参：

27. D 28. D 29. C 30. C

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于“cute aggression”的研究成果。

【27题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句When we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a rally cute kitten many of us want to squeeze it.“当我们看到可爱的婴儿、小狗或拉力赛可爱的小猫时，我们很多人都想捏它。”由此可知“cute aggression”指的是看到可爱的婴儿或动物时捏它的行为。故选D。 【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.“这种体验来自于大脑的“情感系统”和“奖励系统”之间的斗争，前者促使人们挤压可爱的东西，后者处理“想要”的感觉。”可知，在自然界中，“cute aggression”是由情感系统与奖励系统的冲突引起的。故选D。 【29题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段中According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的).“研究人员称，当参与者看着可爱的婴儿时，他们的奖励系统被发现是活跃的，而且他们似乎不知所措。”可知，可爱的婴儿和动物影响所有参与者的大脑活动。故选C。 【30题详解】

目的意图题。根据第六段As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.” 美国加州大学这项研究的首席研究员凯瑟琳·斯塔夫罗普洛斯告诉《科学警报》杂志，“可爱的攻击性是大脑通过平衡我们被压垮的感觉来‘把我们拉回来’的方式。”可知，本文的写作目的是展示关于cute aggression的研究结果。故选C。

21. Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.

All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag;

our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.

However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

24.The new products become more and more time-saving because . A. our love of speed seems never-ending B. time is limited. C. the prices are increasingly high.

D. the manufactures boast a lot.

25.What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to ? A. Imaginary life for constant activity.

26.What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology? A. Critical B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Negative. 27.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The present and past times. B. Machinery and human beings. C. Imaginations and inventions.

D. Modern technology and its influence.

B. Simple life in the past.

C. Times of inventions

D. Time
