After listening to the audio instructions, the participants were asked to answer a series of questions. T

6、hese included whether they felt agitated, how likely they were to show kindness to themselves and how 28 they felt to other individuals.The participants who were instructed to think kindly about themselves were more likely to exhibit a bodily response associated with being relaxed and feeling safe.

7、Their heart rates also dropped, which is a healthy sign of a heart that can respond flexibly to situations.

11、tion BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more them once. Each paragraph is marked

12、 with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Saving Our PlanetA) In the long view, the human relationship with forests has been one of brutal destruction, but even it carnes elements of slow hope. In the Middle Ages, there was no shortage of timber in mo

13、st parts of the world, and few saw cutting down forests as a problem. Yet in 1548 the people of Venice estimated that an important timber supply would last only 30 years at their current rate of usage-but different forest management would make it possible to meet the demand for many centuries to com

14、e. The idea of preserving resources came out of a concern for the future: a fear of using up resources faster than they could be replenished (补充).B) Economic interests were at the core of this understanding of trees and forests. It would take more than three centuries before scientists began to unde

15、rstand that timber production is not the only, and possibly not the most important, function of forests. The late 19th and early 20th century saw an increasing recognition that forests serve as habitats for countless animal and plant species that all rely on each other. They take over protective fun

16、ctions against soil erosion and landslides (塌方)；they make a significant contribution to the water balance as they prevent surface runoff; they filter dirt particles, greenhouse gases and radioactive substances from the air; they produce oxygen; they provide spaces for recreation and they preserve hi

17、storic and prehistoric remains. As a result, forests around the world have been set aside as parks or wilderness areas.C) Recent years have seen a big change in our view of forests. Peter Wohllebens book The Hidden Life of Trees (2015), an international bestseller, suggests that trees can warn each

18、other of danger through a wood wide web, of roots and fungi They support each other through sharing of nutrients and information, and they even keep ancient stumps alive by feeding them solutions of sugars. Such insights have made us aware of deep ecological relationships between humans and the more

19、-than-human world.D) Awareness of ecologies is a recent phenomenon. It was not until the 1940s that the concept of the environment? embracing all living and nonliving things developed. In the 1970s, the term environment gained currency, becoming widely adopted in the English and Romance languages, a

20、nd as 4 Umwelf (surrounding world,) in German. The emergence of the idea led to the rise of environmental agencies, regulations and environmental studies, and to environmental science as new, integrated academic disciplines. It was in 1956 that the very first bachelor of science in environmental stu

21、dies was awarded, at the State University of New York College of Forestry at Syracuse. Since the 1970swith the rise of environmentalism-environmental studies programmes have sprung up at hundreds of universities. There is (slow) hope in the fact that scholars from many different disciplines have ado

22、pted the term environment9 over the past decades. They are exploring intricate connections within and between complex ecologies, as well as the impact that human environment-making (through techno-industrial, economic and other manipulative developments) has had on the biosphere.E) The rise of the i

23、dea of the environment and a scholarly understanding of ecological processes has influenced new technologies and also politics. We have come to questions about vulnerability and risk, world ecologies, and the relationship between nature and power. The search for an adequate response to climate chang

24、e occupies centre stage in inteiTiational diplomacy.F) Social and environmental activists, scientists and indigenous groups have called the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December 2015 insufficient, weak, or compromised. To some extent, they are right: climate cha

25、nge has already destroyed tens of thousands of livelihoods, and the situation will worsen in the near future for millions of mostly poorer people, who will join the ranks of those who have 1 1-2022年6月六级真题(第二套) already been displaced by climate change and extreme weather events. But the Paris Confere

26、nce nevertheless marked a historic step toward the recognition of the need for action on climate change, the cutting of carbon emissions, and world cooperation. There were 195 nations that came to the table in Paris and agreed to limits on emissions. Historically, nothing comparable had happened pri

27、or to this. Before the 20th century, a handful of scientists had been interested in the theoretical relationship between greenhouse gases and climate change, but only the empirical evidence accumulated since the late 20th century established a clear connection between the burning of fossil fuels and

28、 a vastly accelerated rise in global temperatures.G) The current crisis is not the first that humans have encountered, and a look at the struggles with pollution in recent history reveals transformations that once seemed unimaginable. The London fog that came to define the capital through British no

29、vels and thrillers is in reality smog or smoke, a legacy of industrialisation. After a century of ignorance, London was hit by the Great Smog of December 1952一the worst air-pollution event in the history of the United Kingdom which caused the deaths of approximately 12,000 people. Shortly thereafter

30、, public initiatives and political campaigns led to strict regulations and new laws, including the Clean Air Act (1956). Today, London has effectively reduced traffic emissions through the introduction of a Congestion Charge Zone in 2003, and an Ultra Low Emission Zone in 2019.H) Scientific evidence

31、 that we are living in an era of climate change, resource exhaustion and potential ecological disaster is overwhelming. How do we motivate a public exhausted by never-ending scenarios of doom and disaster, when the challenges seem so huge and so impossible to solve? Statistics about extinction and t

32、he gloom of decline will not in themselves get us out of our often self-created ecological traps: instead, they are more likely to result in paralysis and inaction.I) We need stories and histories of change and transformation: ecological stories that make us confront the fact that human power is pot

33、entially destructive, and that the survival of our species on this planet depends on the preservation of soil and water, and the habitats and ecological systems.J) It is time that we showed successes and accelerations in ecological awareness, action and restoration: stories that include past success

34、es and future visions about the rise of urban gardening and of renaturalised riverscapes, of successful protests against polluted air and water, of the rise of regional markets and slow food, and the planting of trees around the globe, of initiatives and enterprises that work towards ecological rest

35、oration. The reality of ecological curses seems far greater than the power of the hopes left at the bottom of Pandoras box. But if we believe that nothing can be changed, then we are giving up our opportunity to act.K) Todays saving powers will not come from a deus ex machine (解围之神).In an ever-more

36、complex and synthetic world, our saving powers wont come from a single source, and certainly not from a too-big-to- fail approach or from those who have been drawn into the whirlpool of our age of speed. Hope can work as a wakeup call. It acknowledges setbacks. The concept of slow hope suggests that

37、 we cant expect things to change overnight. If the ever-faster exhaustion of natural resources (in ecological terms) and the shrinking of the present9 (in social terms) are urgent problems of humans, then cutting down on exhaustive practices and working towards a stretching of the present9 will be w

38、ays to move forward.36. Climate change has wrought havoc on the lives of tens of thousands of people.37. It took scientists a long time to realise that the function of forests goes far beyond providing humans with timber.38. There is abundant evidence that we are now facing a possible ecological dis

39、aster.39. Environmental science became academic disciplines only some sixty years ago.40. Things cannot change overnight, but reducing the consumption of natural resources will help solve the ecological crisis.41. Human perception of forests has undergone a tremendous change in the past years.42. Re

40、cent history shows reduction of pollution, once seemingly impossible, can actually be accomplished.2022年6月六级真题(第二套)12People began to consider preserving natural resources when they feared they would have nothing to use in the future.43. If we doubt our ability to reverse ecological deterioration, we

41、 are throwing away the chance to take action.44. How to respond eff ectively to climate change has become the focus of international diplomacy.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fo

42、ur choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Since American idol star Taryn Southern started composing music with AI

43、 in 2017, musicians all over the world have begun wondering about the implications of AI and modern technology where music production is concerned. Using AI in the creation of music is perceived by some as a helpful tool and by others as almost “the beginning of the end”.In Taryns case, AI software

44、enabled her to communicate melodies and chords that she didnt know how to put together herself. The end product was therefore a collaborative eff ort, rather than a piece entirely produced by technology. Taryns story has a distinctly positive feel that highlights the advantciges of using AI in music

45、 production. It can serve as a source of inspiration, and as an ideal jumping-off point should a musician be hit with writer block (文思枯竭).Contrary to seeing AI as a tool, some musicians consider it to be hugely detrimental to the music scene. At the moment, because such technology is still so young,

46、 the music ifs producing is not necessarily what we want to hear. In short, its not of great quality. Those who have produced their own music, or even fans of authentic, artistic music, will also argue that a computer could never emulate the work (and human touch) of a true musician.Music has been a

47、n integral part of the story of humans for ages; in fact, the first known piece of music is believed to be around 3,400 years old. Songs have long been used as a means of communicating messages and folk stories, covering everything from societal ethics to world history. Since many people see music a

48、s such an inherently human expression, it is often considered as too precious to impart to technology. The thought of a computer generating a “random“ piece of music that hasnt been painstakingly created by an artist is almost seen as(亵渎神圣的).Regardless of which side of the argument you fall on, it s

49、eems likely that the use of AI in music production will only become more frequent. Our modern world is preoccupied with technological advancements. Instead of shying away from the idea of this bleak future, the best approach to take is one of optimism and curiosity. While there are always bound to be stubborn old-school musicians who refuse to use tech, music producers should consider AI as something to be embraced. AI music software is still very much in
