17、our small Tuk Tuk cabin attached to the back of Kiwis motorbike; a bottle of water in one hand and a surgeon-style mask in the other we set off on our 45-minute commute. It is a familiar start to the day for me and two other volunteers. We are setting out to work in an orphanage just outside Cambodi

18、as capital city. The morning rush hour in Phnom Penh is crowded and chaotic. Kiwi directs our path between the trucks, 44 Lexus and countless motorbikes, which often carry entire families. We reach the dusty highway, masks and sunshades firmly in place to protect our eyes and lungs. A mixture of con

19、crete buildings and huts exist along the side of the road among a sea of rubbish. The residents often smile and wave as we pass by. We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coaster, jumping out of potholes(路面坑洼) and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass hu

20、ts on stilts(木桩), skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us. The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields. Finally we arrive at our destination: the oasis(令人欣慰的地方) is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-ol

21、d children compete in the area of marbles. Were greeted by the shouts of Cha, cha(short for teacher)! from several other kids gathering round. As we climb out of our vehicle, the sun is already hot and the oasis is as dry as the fields surrounding it. In such conditions you would imagine life to be

22、hard, but you wouldnt know it to see the warm smiles and hear the laughter of the residents at Samrong Orphanage. Compared to children in the Western World they have little and yet they give so much in generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for every day. Despite the journey, it is so good to arrive at

25、 be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasnt treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life

26、fair? Should life be fair? We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the o

27、utcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society-its largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt. Life is full of examples of the u

28、neducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint. I agree that challenges

29、 exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders dont create fairness, but peoples desire and determination can work around most life challenges. I

30、t doesnt matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stor

31、ies such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness. 28. What does the underlined word abound in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Change fully. B. Remain the same. C. Exist in numbers. D. Disappear comp

32、letely. 29. What opinion does the writer agree with? A. Most of us can influence the results we achieve. B. Our background determines our choices. C. Peoples desire and determination create unfairness. D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems. 30. What is the primary purpose of the text

33、? A. To promote efforts over complaint. B. To stress the importance of fairness. C. To share an inspiring story of a friend. D. To prove that fairness is a state of mind. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Fairness Is Justice B. Life Is Not Fair-Deal With It C. Fairnes

34、s Comes First D. Fairness Creates Chances D Youve stopped at a cafe on your way to work, and next thing you know, your latte foam is staring at you. Youve had the same furniture for years, but today your cupboard looks sad. Youre lying in the park with your friends, and now Jesus is floating by in t

35、he clouds-are they seeing him too?! Why do we see human faces everywhere? Until now, it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces. However, researchers from the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating t

36、his phenomenon. The facial recognition response happens fast, only taking a few hundred milliseconds. From an evolutionary perspective, the researchers suggest that the benefit of never missing a face outweighs(超过) the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces. Despite knowing that the object y

37、ou are seeing is not a human face, the perception(知觉) of a face stays. This is known as face pareidolia. Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus(刺激物), making one see an object, pattern or meaning when there is none. Pareidolia was originally con

38、sidered a symptom of mental disorder, but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency. Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeares Hamlet, Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius b

39、y telling him that he can see a camel in the sky. The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analysed for a facial expression. The study participants were presented series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a

40、 scale from angry to happy. The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces. The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not cast off as false detections, but rather undergo an internal facial expression analysis, in the same way a real face would. This is likely because humans

41、are deeply social beings. Additionally, they found that biases(成见) often seen when judging human faces in the analysis of the pareidolia faces. So, the next time that you see an angry tree, dont be surprised and remember its not personal. 32. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To presen

42、t a finding. B. To warn the readers. C. To introduce the topic. D. To arouse the readers awareness. 33. How do the researchers, from an evolutionary perspective, understand the facial recognition response? A. Our brain is good at processing signals. B. The image of a human face will last long. C. Ou

43、r brain wrongly interprets signals as human faces. D. There might be risks when lifeless objects are not seen as faces. 34. What happens in a pareidolia? A. People suffer mental disorder. B. People see an unclear stimulus. C. People imagine seeing a human face. D. People interpret things meaningfull

44、y. 35. What can be inferred about participants seeing real human faces in the research? A. They discount the facial expressions. B. They prefer real faces to false ones. C. They tend to make biased judgment. D. They compare real faces to pareidolia ones. 其次节(共5小题;每题2. 5分，总分值12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出

45、可以填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes(人群的蜂拥)，the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking theres little you can do to su

46、rvive a stampede. 36 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below: The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 37 Its a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room. If theres a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct(本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 38 If you go
