60%of people in Japan want them to be cancelled,less than three months before the Games are scheduled to open.Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions until the end of May as it struggles to control a fast increase in COVID-19 cases caused by new,more catching variants（变异体）with medical staff warning that health services in some areas are on the edge of breaking down.The Olympics,which were delayed by a year due to the pandemic,are set to open on 23 July,with the International Olympic Committee（IOC）and organizers insisting that measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of athletes and other visitors,as well as a nervous Japanese public.The survey,conducted between 7 and 9 May by the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun,showed 60%wanted the Games cancelled as opposed to 39%who said they should be held.“Postponement”an option abandoned by the IOC was not offered as a choice.Of those who said the Olympics should go ahead,23%said they should take place without audience.Foreign audience have been banned but a final decision on native attendance will be made in June.Another poll conducted at the weekend by TBS News found 65%wanted the Games cancelled or postponed again,with 37%voting to give up the event altogether and 28%calling for another delay.A similar poll in April conducted by Kyodo news agency found 70%wanted the Olympics cancelled or postponed.The IOCs vice president,John Coates,said that while Japanese sentiment about the Games“was a concern”,he could foresee no situation under which the sporting events would not go

normally.D.The Olympics will take place in other place.C Have you ever done something for someone elseknowing that your actions would solely benefit THEM and not YOU?Maybe you opened a door or donated blood or volunteered in a hospitals ER during the pandemic.This is called a prosocial behavior.Humans engage in these types of behaviors all the time.But a question remains in science:Are we the only species who do this?As one of out closest s,chimpanzees have long been studied for signs of this.So far,research has provided mixed results on the question.Some studies show that chimps cooperatively hunt,share food and comfort each other.But one study came to a very different conclusion.The study used a controlled lab experiment where chimpanzees in enclosures were given two options:push a button to give food to themselves or push the button to give food to themselves AND a partner chimp.If they chose the latter,it was seen as a prosocial behavior.But the result is that chimps showed no special preferences for feeding themselves and a friend over feeding just themselves.Another study conducted by DeTroy,however,discovered a totally different result.Compared to previous controlled lab-based experiments,the setup for DeTroys research was very naturalistic.“We installed a button and a fountain into the chimpanzees outer enclosures.When an individual pushes the button,it releases juice from the fountain.However,since the button and fountain are approximately five meters apart,the individual pushing cannot directly drink from the fountain.And if any other chimpanzees are at the fountain when the button is pushed,they,and not the pusher,will be able to drink the juice.In this experiment,chimpanzees showed a willingness to act in the interest of others,with individual chimpanzees prepared to push the button without benefiting themselves.“It is really fascinating to see that many of the chimpanzees were willing to prosocially provide valuable resources to the group members even if they couldnt benefit themselves from their behavior.”said DeTroy.Further research may reveal what lies behind their prosocial motivation.But for now,its safe to assume that chimpanzees are not simply aping human behavior.8.Which of the following belongs to prosocial behaviors?A.Jack participated in voluntary work in the library just to earn credits.B.Mark turned to his classmate for help when feeling stressful in study.C.Tim guided a lost child back home on his way to an important job interview.D.Rose often interrupted the teacher to ask questions actively in the maths class.9.What is the task of the chimpanzees in the lab-based study?A.Sharing food.B.Making a choice.C.Comforting others.D.Showing sympathy.10.How is DeTroys study different from the previous ones?A.It was based on controlled lab experiment.B.It gave juice to the chimpanzees as a reward.C.It offered the tested chimpanzees a natural surrounding.D.It provided a chance for chimpanzees to help their partners.11.What can we learn from DeTroys quotes?A.Chimpanzees can develop abilities to help others.B.Chimpanzees have acquired many human behaviors.C.Chimpanzees in the wild is cleverer than those in the lab.D.Chimpanzees displayed prosocial behaviors for certain rewards.D Too much TV-watching can harm childrens ability to learn andeven reduce their chances of getting a college degree,new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results dont prove that TV is the cause and dont ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15.These with college degrees had watch an averageof less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood,compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study,children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores,it adds to increasing findings that children shouldnt have TVs in their bedrooms.12.According to the California study,the low-scoring group might _.A.have had computers in their bedrooms B.not be interested in math C.be unable to go to college D.have watched a lot of TV 13.What is the researchers understanding of the New Zealand study results?A.Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B.Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C.The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.D.TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.14.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.TV sets shouldnt be allowed in childrens bedrooms.B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C.More time should be spent on computers.D.Further studies on high-achieving students should be done 15.What would be the best title for this text?A.Computers or Television B.Effects of Television on Children C.Studies on TV and College Education D.Television and Childrens Learning Habits 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Everybody yawns(打哈欠)from unborn babies to great-grandparents.But why,exactly,do we yawn?_16_.One theory(理论)is that when we are bored or tired,we just dont breathe as deeply as we usually do._17_.Therefore,yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood.Yawning,then,would be an action that we cant really control to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.Sounds good,but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not make us yawn less._18_.Hmmm.Now what?_19_.Stretching(拉伸)and yawning may be a way to relax muscles and joints,increase heart rate,and feel more awake.Other people believe that yawning is a protective way to redistribute(重新分配)the oil-like substance called surfactant that helps keep lungs from drying up.So,if we didnt yawn,according to this theory,taking a deep breath would become harder and harder and that would not be good!But there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true:_20_.If you yawn in class,youll probably notice a few other people will start yawning,too.Even thinking about yawning can get you yawning.How many times have you yawned while reading this article?We hope not many!A.It seems to spread B.Yawning seems to be common C.No one knows for sure,but there are many theories D.Another theory is that yawning stretches the lung and lung tissue E.This theory indicates yawning,like a deep breath,helps us feel fresh F.Likewise,breathing more carbon dioxide does not increase yawning G.As this theory goes,our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on
