(40 points)Text 1It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history. If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic devices, a reading-material explosion, a popular interest toward tight or pocket less clothing, or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.But, much as nature finds ways-such as diseaseto control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments(障碍) to bags. To enter many public buildings, such as theatres and railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless. The city has countless bag rules. It is hard to keep them all straight, and you're never sure, when leaving home for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game. Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule. You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library. If you walk in with one, you must leave it at the coat check. You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them. You return them when you come back for your own bag.What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather than bringing things in. A librarian said on the second day, "It's a big change for people who used to come and bring in half their flats. The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so. The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to.” 1、How many reasons does the author list to explain the changes related to bags?A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 52、What do the bag rules in many public buildings require people to do?A. Have their bags examined. B. Pay for bringing in bags.C. Leave the places bagless. D. Use big clear plastic bags.3、What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?A. To change people's way of reading.B. To prevent people stealing things.C. To help people better use the library.D. To stop people from bringing in dangerous things.4、How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?A. Excellent. B. Satisfactory. C. Harmful. D. Limited.Text 2Soaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”.It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience （良 心）by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn't cleaned.This finding fascinated W. S. Lee, a researcher. "Anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,“ says Lee.He decided to test hand washing's effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we've lose the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating （夸大）the positive aspects of their choice.He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students one CD as a gift. Some students then use liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed （嗅）it. "Actually, you do not need water and soap,“ says Lee.Later, the students again had to rank all the music. People who didn't wash their hands had the normal response - they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before. But this wasn't true fbr the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same, "they feel no need at all to justify the choice,“ say Lee.But the implications of it just aren't clear. Schwarz says it's too soon to know whether people should head fbr a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder, but perhaps if they don't go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.1、The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that.A. Shakespeare did scientific research before writing MacbethB. soaping up one's hand may help wash away the inner confusion and make a decisionC. people feel less guilty by getting rid of invisible germs from their handsD. people feel less ashamed after washing their hands2、 According to Lee, after people make the choice.A. they will overstate the goodness of their chosen choiceB. they will feel regretful for not choosing anotherC. they will feel free due to the feeling of losing the other choiceD. they will think nothing of their chosen choice any more to calm their inner conflict3、According to Lee, the hand washers consider the judgment of choice.A. more scientific B. unnecessaryC. a little convincing D. absolutely useless4、What does Schwarz need to research more?A. Whether people need to justify their choice.B. Whether people feel more sorrow after washing hands.C. Whether washing hands help over a long period of time.D. Whether washing hands is helpful to make a choice.5、What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Is Washing Hands Necessary to Defeat Tension?B . Washing Hands, Washes Our MindC. Washing Hands, Helps Make a Better ChoiceD. Washing Hands, Reduces the Stress of DecisionText 3You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way.
