10、urb cut（下斜路缘）. Its a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder-in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car-all these tasks are easi

11、er because of the curb cut.But it was created with a different purpose in mind.Ifs hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp dropoff. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps（斜坡）to help them move along city b

12、locks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up an

13、d down curbs independently.I think about the “curb cut effect a lot when working on issues around health equity The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity

14、 “as a zero-sum game. Basically, that there is a prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another/9 What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and c

15、ontribute fully, everyone wins.”There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empo

16、wers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society-and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle（围成一团以秘 密商讨）was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who coul

17、d have read their sign language. Today, its used by every team to shield the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies.So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk-think about how much the curb cut, that change in

22、f his fellow men.D. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Do animals have feelings?

23、People often assign feelings to animals. That zoo polar bears vacant stare must mean hes sad. The uh-ohexpression a dog flashes after knocking over the garbage indicates shame. But scientists havent determinedwhether these human-like expressions really mean anything. After all, its very difficult to

24、 read a dogs mind.Scientists believe that certain brain cells in humans called spindle cells（棱形细胞）are responsible for humansocial behavior and the interplay between thoughts and feelings. Studies have revealed that chimpanzee, dolphin and whale brains also possess spindle cells. 67Even animals that

25、dont have spindle cells, such as dogs, have shown behaviors that can suggest a human-likesocial sense. 68 Scientists report that this shows dogs are sensitive to human social cues and are able to correctly interpret them. Still, this only proves that dogs know how to find food, not that they have fe

26、elings.Observations of apes have also revealed behavior that appears to represent various human-like desires. In some tests, chimpanzees demonstrate what looks like altruism(利他主义)helping their own kind and even other species without the expectation of a reward.69 In a recent study, a Barnard College

27、 researcher tested dogs to see if their guilty looks were linked to actual bad behavior. Dogs were tempted with a treat and told by their owners not to eat it. The dogs owners werent allowed to see whether their pets had eaten the treat or not, but were told either that they did or that they didnt,

28、and were then instructed to scold the dogs that disobeyed. The experimenters noted that scolded dogs showed a guilty look whether or not they had actually done wrong.70 A guilty look suggests a feeling of guilt in a human but not necessarily in a dog, according to the Barnard research. Similarly, ev

29、en apparent empathy(共情)behavior might not actually mean these feelings are present in the brains of animals.A. Although these are all animals that can act people-like, the presence of these cells does not mean that the animals have feelings.B. Anyone who claims to know what animals feel doesnt have

30、science on their side.C. In recent experiments, dogs have shown that they know to follow a humans pointed finger to find a food treat. D. Many people think that empathy is a special emotion only humans show.E. Other experiments have cast doubt that animal behavior can reliably signify an underlying

31、feeling.F. This illustrates the difficulty in accurately interpreting animal behavior as a marker of human-like feelings.IV. Summary Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as

32、possible.Does Recycling Work For Plastic?Dealing with plastic waste is always a tough problem. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), half of the worlds plastic waste ends up in a landfill, 19% burned, and another 22% escapes waste management systems and goes

33、into uncontrolled dumpsites.So environmentalists suggest plastic waste should be recycled properly, which proves an effective way to handle other waste like paper, cardboard, metal and glass. However, a new study by Greenpeace, and reporting in the Boston Globe, suggests that recycling plastic is a

34、“myth” and raises a major question about the future: does recycling work? Unfortunately, the short answer is “not really.”Theres been a lot of debate over what really happens to recycled plastic. But scientists say that recycling plastic waste has mostly failed because its very difficult to collect

35、and nearly impossible to sort. Because plastic is often made from harmful materials, it can be harmful to the environment to reprocess.Much of the solution falls on big companies to change the way they do business. The way forward seems to be mostly to cut down on companies9 reliance on plastic pack

36、aging, and to move toward reusable packaging and packaging-free alternatives. Above all, companies need to phase out all single-use plastics. For the consumer, living more plastic-free is the only real solution available. Avoiding drinks in plastic containers, using a travel mug or reusable water bo

37、ttle, bringing your own reusable bag, buying in bulk and cutting back on pre-packaged foods are all a good start.But in the end, corporate America needs a deeper commitment to the plastic waste problem. Companies must take action now to get rid of single-use plastics and packaging and not rely on fa
