For each of them, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding lette

22、r with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring BANSWER SHEET/B./IBPassage One/BThe world is full of new horrors and theres no place to hide. Who says so? Disaster psychologists, for a start. They are the people who take in the big picture of our collective reactions to human-

23、created disaster, the ways these reactions are caused, and our coping mechanisms. And research into disaster psychology is growing fast.Among the big issues being addressed by these researchers are understanding the terrorists weapons, assessing the full impact of terrorismand, crucially, working ou

24、t which psychological approaches actually work. Its a deeply controversial area.Take the work of Dennis Embry as an example. He argues that we have overlooked the obvious: the purpose of terrorism is to create terror. This works best “if the very symbols of everyday life become conditioned fear and

25、anxiety stimulant“. The top targets will be the most symbolic of a nations daily life, preferably served up for prime-time television. Crashing planes from United and American Airlines into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon met those objectives all too perfectly. After the attacks, people stopped fly

26、ing. Why? Not because they had made a rational risk assessment but because the mere thought of flying made their palms sweat.From terrorism to rail crashes, counseling and “debriefing“ (盘问) are the standard response to help those caught up in disasters. But there are growing doubts about their effec

27、tiveness. What might be going wrong? Debriefing focuses on getting people to talk through the trauma (损伤) and its emotional consequences soon after the incident. Could it be that some people are better by distancing themselves from what happened, rather than retelling it?If disaster psychologists wa

28、nt to find better ways to help, theyll have to win the race between our understanding of human psychology and the terrorists.（分数：6.00）(1).Disaster psychology refers to the study of how to_.（分数：1.00）A.avoid human-created disastersB.cope with human reactions to disastersC.reduce the worst natural disa

29、stersD.prevent growing terrorism(2).The passage tells us that disaster psychology is_.（分数：1.00）A.a highly controversial areaB.a well-established scienceC.not associated with terrorismD.not a part of scientific study(3).According to Dennis Embry, how do terrorists reach their goals?（分数：1.00）A.By over

30、looking the most obvious of everyday life.B.By setting up new symbols for a nations daily life.C.By turning symbols of everyday life into fear and anxiety stimulant.D.Through hijacking big planes from the most famous international airlines.(4).Why do people usually stop flying after terrorist attack

31、s?（分数：1.00）A.Because they are terrified of flying.B.Because they believe in rational risk assessment.C.Because their palms will become too sweaty for them to fly.D.Because they cant decide which airline will be the safest.(5).Counseling and debriefing may not be effective methods because_.（分数：1.00）A

32、.there is fierce controversy in this areaB.many research have proved thisC.some people may hide their true feelingsD.some people may feel better to forget the disaster(6).According to the last passage, what does “theyll have to win the race between our understanding of human psychology and the terro

33、rists“ mean?（分数：1.00）A.Disaster psychologists have to run faster than terrorists to win the race.B.Disaster psychologists should understand the psychology of the terrorists.C.Disaster psychologists should understand more deeply the psychology of human than that of the terrorists.D.Compared with the

34、terrorists understanding of human psychology, disaster psychologists should have a better understanding of human psychology.BPassage Two/BMany Americans harbor a grossly distorted and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food. Fergus Clydesdale, head of the department of food science an

35、d nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, says bluntly that if the dangers from bacterially contaminated 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

36、thing. Bruce Ames, chairman of the biochemistry department at the University of California, Berkeley, points out that up to 10% of a plants weight is made up of natural pesticide (杀虫剂). Says he, “Since plants do not have jaws or teeth to protect themselves, they employ chemical warfare.“ And many na

37、turally produced chemicals, though occurring in tiny amounts, prove in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogensa substance that can cause cancer. Mushrooms (蘑菇) might be banned if they were judged by the same standards that apply to food additives (添加剂). Declares Christina Stark, a nutritionist at

38、Cornell University: “Weve 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.

39、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 will withstand the small amounts of contaminants generally found in food and water, at

40、 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 regulatory standards, stiffen its inspection program and strengthen its enforcement policies. The food industry should mo

41、dify some long-accepted practices or turn to less hazardous alternatives. Perhaps most important, consumers will have to do a better job of learning how to select and cook food properly. The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain, from fields to processing plants to k

42、itchens.（分数：6.00）(1).What does the author think of the Americans view of their food?（分数：1.00）A.They overlook the risks of the food they eat.B.They overestimate the hazards of their food.C.They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food.D.They overstate the governments interference with the fo

43、od industry.(2).The author considers it impossible to obtain no-risk food because_.（分数：1.00）A.many vegetables contain deadly natural chemicalsB.almost all foods have additivesC.no food is free from pollution in the environmentD.pesticides are widely used in agriculture(3).By saying “they employ chem

44、ical warfare“ (Para. 2), Bruce Ames means_.（分数：1.00）A.plants absorb useful chemicals to promote their growthB.plants produce certain chemicals to combat pests and diseasesC.farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseasesD.farmers use man-made chemicals to dissolve the natural chem

45、icals in plants(4).The reduction of the possible hazards in food ultimately depends on_.（分数：1.00）A.the consumerB.the governmentC.the growerD.the processor(5).What is the message the author wants to convey in the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Immediate measures must be taken to improve food production and proce

46、ssing.B.Eating and drinking have become more hazardous than before.C.There is reason for caution but no cause for alarm with regard to food consumption.D.Healthy food is not a dream in modern society.(6).The authors attitude towards American food seems to be_.（分数：1.00）A.objectiveB.disappointedC.conf

47、identD.scaredBPassage Three/BAs the global village continues to shrink and cultures collide, it is essential for all of us to become more sensitive, more aware of, and more observant to the body language (motions/gestures) that surround us each day. And as many of us cross over cultural borders, it

48、would be fitting for us to respect, learn, and understand more about the effective and powerful “silent language“ of gestures. Without gestures, our world would be static and colorless. The social anthropologists, Edward T. Hall claims 60 percent of all our communication is nonverbal. In that case,

49、how can we possibly communicate with one another without gestures?The world is a giddy montage (蒙太奇) of vivid gesturesthe ones used by traffic police, street vendors, expressway drivers, teachers, children on playground and athletes with their exuberant (热情洋溢的) hugging, clenched fists and “high fives“. People all over the world use their hands, heads, and bodie
