Who says so? Disaster psychologists, for a start. T

22、hey are the people who take in the big picture of our collective reactions to human-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

23、terrorists weapons, assessing the full impact of terrorism-and, crucially, working out 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 terro

24、r. This works best “if the very symbols of everyday life become conditioned fear and 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 P

25、entagon met those objectives all too perfectly. After the attacks, people stopped flying. 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

26、 to help those caught up in disasters. But there are growing doubts about their effectiveness. 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

27、 themselves from what happened, rather than retelling it?If disaster psychologists want to find better ways to help, theyll have to win the race between our understanding of human psychology and the terrorists.（分数：5.00）(1).Disaster psychology refers to the study of how to _（分数：1.00）A.avoid human-cre

28、ated disastersB.cope with human reactions to disastersC.reduce the worst natural disastersD.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

29、(3).According to Dennis Embry, how do terrorists reach their goals?（分数：1.00）A.By overlooking 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 famou

30、s international airlines.(4).Why do people usually stop flying after terrorist attacks?（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

31、safest.(5).Counseling and debriefing may not be effective methods because _（分数：1.00）A.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十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Many Americans harbo

32、r a grossly distorted and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food. Fergus Clydesdale, head of the department of food science and nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, says bluntly that if the dangers from bacterially contaminated chicken were as great as some people be

33、lieve, “the streets would be littered with people lying here and there.“Though the public increasingly demands no-risk food, there is no such 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

34、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 naturally produced chemicals, though occurring in tiny amounts, prove in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogens-a substance that can cause cancer. Mushrooms

35、(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 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

36、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. They unconsciously and unwillingly take in too much of too many dangerous chemicals. If food already contains natural carcinogens, it does not make much sens

37、e 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 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

38、 needs to tighten its regulatory standards, stiffen its inspection program and strengthen its enforcement policies. The food industry should modify 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 s

39、elect and cook food properly. The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain, from fields to processing plants to kitchens.（分数：5.00）(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 overestima

40、te the hazards of their food.C.They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food.D.They overstate the governments interference with the food 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 fo

41、ods have additivesC.no food is free from pollution in the environmentD.pesticides are widely used in agriculture(3).By saying “they employ chemical warfare“ (Par（分数：1.00）A.2), Bruce Ames means _A. plants absorb useful chemicals to promote their growthB. plants produce certain chemicals to combat pes

42、ts and diseasesC. farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseasesD. farmers use man-made chemicals to dissolve the natural chemicals 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

43、(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 processing.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.

44、Healthy food is not a dream in modern society.十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：5.00)As 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. An

45、d as many of us cross over cultural borders, it 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 al

46、l our communication is nonverbal. In that case, how can we possibly communicate with one another without gestures?The world is a giddy montage (蒙太奇) of vivid gestures-the ones used by traffic police, street vendors, expressway drivers, teachers, children on playground and athletes with their exubera

47、nt (热情洋溢的) hugging, clenched fists and “high fives“. People all over the world use their hands, heads, and bodies to communicate expressively.Gestures and body language communicate as effectively as words- maybe even more effectively. We use gestures daily, almost instinctively, from beckoning to a

48、waiter, or punctuating a business presentation with visual signals to airport ground attendants guiding an airline pilot into the jet-way or a parent using a whole dictionary of gestures to teach a child.Gestures are woven into our social lives. The “vocabulary“ of gestures can be at once informativ

49、e and entertaining.but also dangerous. Gestures can be menacing, warm, instructive, or even sensuous.Bear in mind that some gestures are in general use, but there may always be exceptions. In recent years, Western and contemporary values and ideas have become more popular and have either influenced, altered, and even replaced, some of the more traditional gestures. Understanding human behavior is tricky stuff. No two people behave in precisely the s
