21、Imagine a world in which there were suddenly no emotion — a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate．Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation．People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial．They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments．Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support．Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups．Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive (动力) to work．In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives mean a capacity to enjoy them.

In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways．As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions．True, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful．We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society．Out of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept．In fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself．It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．people would not be able to tell the physical aspects of objects．

B．People would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them．

C．$ 10 million is equal to $ 10 in a world without emotions．

D．There would be full of lies, arguments and violence．

【2】In can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ________.

A．the ability to make money

B．the capacity to work

C．the motivation to work

D．our emotional experiences

【3】Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?

A．They help society use its members for more profit.

B．They encourage us to perform important tasks in the war.

C．They help to perfect the legal and penal system to make people afraid.

D．They help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．People could only live in a world with emotions.

B．People would always do bad things in the emotionless world.

C．Emotions are very important in the world.

D．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.

22、   There are one to two billion mothers around the world caring for children and other people every day of the year. Hopefully they feel appreciated every day, but Mother's Day is a good yearly reminder to say thanks to the mums and other special carers who help us be our best.

In the US, the first modern Mother's Day was in 1908 and was the idea of Anna Jarvis， the daughter of one of the earlier anti-war campaigners. The white carnation （康乃馨）---often regarded as the flower symbol of Mother's Day—was the favourite flower of Ms Jarvis's mother, Ann Jarvis, who had nursed soldiers in the Civil War. The US President Woodrow Wilson announced the second Sunday in May of 1914 to be America's first official Mother's Day.

Australia first officially celebrated Mother's Day in 1924. Sydney woman Janet Heyden began the tradition because she wanted to help the lonely, elderly mothers at a hospital she visited. Ms Heyden asked schools and businesses to contribute gifts to the women at the hospital , many of whom had lost their husbands and sons in World War I or had never been wives or mothers because of the war. Mother's Day in Australia is the second Sunday of May. It's not an official holiday but many families have their own traditions of visiting or calling their mothers? giving gifts or going out for lunch together.

There are many different dates for modern mother's days around the world. Most Arab countries celebrate on March 21. Russia celebrates on International Women's Day on March 8. In Thailand, the day is celebrated in August on Queen Sirikit's birthday.

D.To help the suffering women in hospital.

【4】What can we learn about today's Mother's Day from the text?

A.It is not an official festival in the US.

C.It is rooted in wars in the US and Australia.

D.It is celebrated at the same date in Arab and western countries.

23、When newspapers and radios report the damage caused by a hurricane (飓风)called Hazel,girls named Hazel are probably played a joke on by others.To keep out of trouble,the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance(相似)between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is only accidental.”

Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names,but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines.They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms.Because more women seem to like it than dislike it,the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girls’ names for hurricanes.

In some ways a hurricane is like a person.After it is born,it grows and develops,then becomes old and dies.Each hurricane has a character of its own.Each follows its own way through the world,and people remember it long after it has gone.So it is natural to give hurricanes names,and to talk about them almost as if they were alive.
