12、英语（二）试题 -3-（共 14 页）Text 1 Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness,fear,and anger,guilt emerges a little later,in conjunction with a childs growing grasp of social and moral norms.Children arent born knowing how to say“Im sorry”;rather,they learn over time that such statements appease parents

13、 and friends and their own consciences.This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt,in the right amount,to be a good thing.In the popular imagination,of course,guilt still gets a bad rap.It is deeply uncomfortable its the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stone

14、s.Yet this understanding is outdated.“There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,”says Amrisha Vaish,a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia,adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren t binary feel

15、ings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another.Jealousy and anger,for example,may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities.Too much happiness can be destructive.And guilt,by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness,can encourage humans to make up for err

16、ors and fix relationships.Guilt,in other words,can help hold a cooperative species together.It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light,guilt is an opportunity.Work by Tina Malti,a psychology professor at the University of Toronto,suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency.I

17、n a number of studies,Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt,which can rein in their nastier impulses.And vice versa:High sympathy can

18、substitute for low guilt.In a 2014 study,for example,Malti looked at 244 children.Using caregiver assessments and the childrens self-observations,she rated each childs overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.Then the kids were handed chocol

19、ate coins,and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child.For the low-sympathy kids,how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty.The guilt-prone ones shared more,even though they hadnt magically become more sympathetic to the other childs deprivation.“Thats

20、 good news,”Malti says.“We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret.”校年和年本科毕业生去向统计绝密启用前年全国硕士研究生招生考试英语二试题参考答案英语二试题共页英语知识运次我都听人说我也能写书我只是没那时间说起来轻巧做起来就没那么简单了和一般人的想法相反按詹姆斯海里厄特的读的结跟大多数作家一样他一路走来也不得不遭受了许多失望和被拒之苦但这些更坚定了他要成功的决心他一生的所 英语（二）试题 -4-（共 14 页）21.Researchers think that guilt can be a

25、soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce,we are threatening their ability to do so.The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.Thankfully,there is a way out of this trap but it involves striking a subtle balance.Helping

26、forests flourish as valuable“carbon sinks”long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now.California is leading the way,as it does on so many climate efforts,in figuring out the details.The states proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young tree

27、s and clear brush in parts of the forest.This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity.But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture,so they grow and thrive,restoring the forests capacity to pull carbon from the air.Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects.T

28、he landscape is rendered less easily burnable.Even in the event of a fire,fewer trees are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent.Already,since 2010,drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California,most of them in 2016 alone,and wildfires have burned hundreds o

29、f thousands of acres.California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020,and 60,000 by 2030 financed from the proceeds of the states emissions-permit auctions.Thats only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit,about half a million acres in all,so it will be vital to priorit

30、ize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels.New research on transportation biofuels is alread

31、y under way.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests,but traditionally theyve focused on wildlife,watersheds and opportunities for recreation.Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon.Californias plan,which is expected to be final

37、g of labor shortages for several years.The complaints are unlikely to stop without an overhaul of immigration rules for farm workers.Congress has obstructed efforts to create a more straightforward visa for agricultural workers that would let foreign workers stay longer in the U.S.and change jobs wi

38、thin the industry.If this doesnt change,American businesses,communities,and consumers will be the losers.Perhaps half of U.S.farm laborers are undocumented immigrants.As fewer such workers enter the country,the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing.Todays farm laborers,while sti

39、ll predominantly born in Mexico,are more likely to be settled rather than migrating and more likely to be married than single.Theyre also aging.At the start of this century,about one-third of crop workers were over the age of 35.Now more than half are.And picking crops is hard on older bodies.One of

40、t-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as its been all along:Native U.S.workers wont be returning to the farm.Mechanization isnt the answer,either not yet,at least.Production of corn,cotton,rice,soybeans,and wheat has been largely mechanized,but many high-value,labor-intensive

41、 crops,such as strawberries,need labor.Even dairy farms,where robots do a small share of milking,have a long way to go before theyre automated.As a result,farms have grown increasingly reliant on temporary guest workers using the H-2A visa to fill the gaps in the workforce.Starting around 2012,reque

42、sts for the visas rose sharply;from 2011 to 2016 the number of visas issued more than doubled.The H-2A visa has no numerical cap,unlike the H-2B visa for nonagricultural work,which is limited to 66,000 a year.Even so,employers complain they arent given all the workers they need.The process is cumber

43、some,expensive,and unreliable.One survey found that bureaucratic delays led the average H-2A worker to arrive on the job 22 days late.The shortage is compounded by federal immigration raids,which remove some workers and drive others underground.In a 2012 survey,71 percent of tree-fruit growers and a

44、lmost 80 percent of raisin and berry growers said they were short of labor.Some western farmers have responded by moving operations to Mexico.From 1998 to 2000,14.5 percent of the fruit Americans consumed was imported.Little more than a decade later,the share of imports was 25.8 percent.In effect,th
