Get furry companion!D.Hug your family!Find a volunteer companion!(C)Are we getting more stupid? According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. "If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modem times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us J Crabtree told The Guardian.At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical fbr survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture, when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going - you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty prompts you to lose weight when summer comes. And the same is also true of our intelligence - if we think less, we become less smart.These mutations(变异)are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.However, Crabtree's theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing a tiger doesn't necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover, the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.“You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago. He just wouldn't exist," Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. "But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation.What is Crabtree's recent finding according to the article?A. The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.B. Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.C. Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.D. Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.63. According to Crabtree, ancient humans.A. had much more genes that determine human intelligenceB. were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressuresC. relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligenceD. developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the harsh realitiesSome argue that Crabtree's theory is false because they think.A. people today are under much more pressure than early humansB. it's ridiculous to compare a hunter's and a poet's intelligenceC. modern education is far more advanced than ancient educationD. human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant pastWhat is Thomas Hills' attitude toward Crabtree's theory?A. SupportiveB. UnfavorableC. WorriedD. Confused.Section CDirections: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Add a short but descriptive subject line.B. Having others waiting for your e-mails hurts their enthusiasm for work.C. It could get you a bad reputation as being indiscreet.D. People find long e-mails tiresome and energy-consuming.E. Rushed e-mails that violate the basic norms of written language bespeak carelessness.F. Sending out e-mails after working hour could be seen as being impolite.Your clients and colleagues don't have time to engage fully with every e-mail they get. Some of them receive hundreds of messages per day. That's why they start with the ones they can deal with quickly. They may never get around to answering - or even reading - the rest.So how do you earn their attention? Try these tips:Stick to standard capitalization and punctuation. Conventions of good writing may seem like a waste of time for e-mail, especially when you're tapping out messages on a hand held device. But it's a matter of getting things right the little things. Even if people in your group don't capitalize or punctuate in their messages, stand out as someone who does.67 And their abbreviated style can be confusing. It takes lesstime to write a clear message the first time around than it does to follow up to explain what you meant to say.Be brief 一 but not too brief. 68 The more they have to scroll or swipe, the less receptivethey'll be to your message. They'll probably just skim it and miss important details or skip it altogether. So rarely compose more than a single screen of reading. Focus your content, and tighten your language. But as you9re trimming the fat from your message, keep the meat intact. When giving a project update, for example, supply enough background information to orient your readers. Consider your message from their perspective. They aren't as immersed in your project as you are, and they probably have many other things going on. So remind them where things stood when you last sent an update, and describe whafs happened since then.69 Before hitting “Send,“ check your subject line. If it's generic or blank, your message will getlost in your recipient's overstuffed inbox. Are you asking someone to take action? Highlight that in the subject line. Make your request easy to find - and fulfill.Copy people judiciously. Include only those who will immediately grasp why they're on the thread; don't automatically click on “Reply Your correspondent may have been over inclusive with the “Copy” list, and if you repeat that mistake, you'll continue to annoy the recipients who shouldn't be there.70Summary Writing（10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Are your children getting on your last nerve? Did a coworker's comment rub you the wrong way? There's no need to plug the steam coming out of your ears. In fact, science now gives you full permission to release those emotions; you might actually be happier for it. If that seems counter-intuitive（违反直觉的），hear us out. A new study suggests that people tend to be happier if they can feel and express emotions as they want. That goes for unpleasant emotions like anger and hatred, too.An international team of researchers recruited 2,300 university students from the United States, Brazil, China, Germany, Ghana, Israel, Poland, and Singapore. They then asked the participants to tell them which emotions they desired and which ones they actually felt, and then compared those responses to how the participants rated their overall happiness or life satisfaction.The results showed an interesting trend. While participants wanted to experience more pleasant emotions, they reported higher life satisfaction if the emotions they experienced matched those they desired. More surprising still, 11 percent of people wanted to feel less of positive emotions, such as love and empathy, and 10 percent of people wanted to feel more negative emotions, such as hatred and anger.At first glance, these results might seem confusing. But there's a simple explanation, according to the study's authors. Happiness is “more than simply feeling pleasure and avoiding pain,“ they write. It is also learning to release negative emotions when you feel them, instead of ignoring them or bottling them up.“If you feel emotions you want to feel, even if they're unpleasant, then you're better off," lead researcher Dr Maya Tamir from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem told the BBC News website.IV.
