B Naturalist Enzo Suma,who is now 40,lives in Puglia,a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea.Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean,unlike the open ocean,where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area.Feeling concerned about that,Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore,especially after big winter storms. One day,Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke.Suma noticed on the bottle that the price,clearly printed on the bottom,was in lire,a currency that hadn't been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002.Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean,he wondered,for about two decades? That led to him founding the Archeoplastica museum.It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them.All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force'of plastic waste in the environment."Seeing that a product people may have used 30,40,or 50 years ago remains still unchanged,you'll feel different.It's a great shock,"Suma said to a reporter.So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni.' "The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things," Suma acknowledged."Plastic is a kind of useful substance.But it's unthinkable that a water bottle,made from a material designed to last so long,can be used for just a few days-or even minutes-before becoming garbage.Clean the beaches.Clean the oceans.Recycle.But if we are still throwing out plastics,none of those are going to be long-term solutions." 24.What's Suma's concern about his living place? A.Its long coastline is disappearing. B.Big storms frequertly hit the area. C.Floating waste spreads over a vast area. D.The waste pollution on shore is worsening. 25.What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum? A.They have a history of more than half a century. B.They were quite valuable before turning into waste. C.They're more like educational exhibits than garbage. D.They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products. 26.Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma? 第4页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人整在阳的月维App A.Creative,deveted and socially responsible. B.Enthusiastic,ambitious and adventurous. C.Generous,cautious and humorous. D.Curious,efficient and playful. 27.What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph? A.The birth of plastics has greatly served humans. B.The key to tackling tho plastic pollution is to stop littering. C.The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and'recycling. D.People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics. C In today's motivational literature,failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-"Fail again.Fail better."It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success,a turing point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory. However,psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively.In other words,we fail to"fail forward".We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed,and become 'less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.This phenomenon is known as the "sour-grape effect",which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad. Sjastad explains that "sour-grape effect"is a self-protective mechanism."Most of us picture ourselves as competent people,so when external feedback suggests otherwise,it poses a serious threat to that self-image,"he says."The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal,so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing." If you have one bad interview for your dream job,you might convince yourself that you don't really want it at all,and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial,or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript."We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our 'Plan C'is actually ou Plan A',"Sjastad says. It doesn't mean we should persevere in goals all the time.It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longerimaking us happy.But the"sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely,rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. Failures are unavoidable.By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened,you may find it easier to achieve your goals. 28.Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1? A.To offer an example to handle failure. B.To describe a shallow understanding of failure. 第5页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的月罐A时 C.To introduce a common attitude towards failure. D.To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure. 29.What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the "sour-grape effect"? A.It protects us from false feedback B.It pictures us as competitive people. C.It poses a severe threat to self-image D.It denies negative feedback to ourselves. 30.What is the author's attitude towards failure? A.Short-sighted. B.Wait-and-see. C.Objective. D.Skeptical. 31.Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A.Don't escape when our self-image is broken. B.Don't quit when goals no longer make you happy C.Never hesitate to replace“Plan A”with“Plan C. D.Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self. D We learn about the world through the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years. Standing on the shoulders of great men,we don't have to experience endless trial and error, just as the wheels do not have to be reinvented each time to run a car.But where does our ability to learn from others come from? A study led by Markus Paulus,professor at Loyola Marymount University,shows that the ability has its roots in earliest childhood."It's generally assumed that children's ability to imitate is inborn,but according to our observation,children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers.This interaction enables a cultural transfer of knowledge,which, through generations'efforts,consequently leads to the development of human beings,"says Markus Paulus. In this research,Paulus recorded the interaction between mother and child over several months.The babies came into the lab for the first time at the age of 6 months,while their final visit was when they were 18 months old.As they engaged in various play situations,the interactions and imitations of mother and child were analyzed.The long-term study showed that the more sensitive a miother was in her interactions with her six-month-old child and the more often she imitated the baby,the greater the child's overall ability was at the age of.18 months. Paulus'research shows that mutual imitation is the keystone of knowledge transfer, through which children successfully learn various skills,such as how to use objects,waving. and acquisition of language."This interaction is the nucleus of learning and,finally,gives rise to evolutionary success of human,"says Paulus. "Cultural learning is an essential part of human evolution,and it is rooted in the imitation 第6页共11页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人整在用的月维ApPP of others,particularly our caregivers during our earliest childhood,says Paulus."Through this,we learn from each other and pass on knowledge to the next generation,so certain actions or techniques do not have to be constantly invented again." 32.Why does the author mention the example of wheels? A.To praise the invention of car wheels B.To describe the process of trial and error. C.To emphasize the necessity of new tools. D.To show the importance of prior knowledge. 33.What can we learn about Paulus'research? A.Children's imitation was rocorded by mothers. B.Sensitive mothers encouraged children's imitation. C.Children's ability was analyzed through interaction. D.Effective interaction promoted children's development. 34.What does the underlined word"nucleus"mean in paragraph 4? A.Core. B.Result. C.Aim. D.Content. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Why does Evolution Matter? B.How to Interact with Children?
