Passage A
In a world that often prionitizes individual success and material gain,the concept ofmoral responsibility"
can seem like a relic of a bygone era.However,recent research in psychology and neuroscience suggests
that our capacity for moral reasoning is not just a cultural artifact,but a fundamental aspect of human
cognition that plays a crucial role in building trust and cooperation within communities.
One such study,conducted by researchers at Yale University,examined how children as young as six
months old evaluate the behavior of others.In the experiment,infants watched a puppet show where one
puppet helped another puppet climb a hill,while a third puppet hindered the climber.When given a
choice,the vast majority ofinfants preferred the"helper"puppet over the"hinderer."This finding implies
that humans may have an innate preference for prosocial behavior,forming a foundation upon which
moral systems are built.
Furthermore,the study of moral behavior extends beyond our immediate social circle.Dr.Lin Qiaozhi,a
renowned Chinese obstetrician,famously devoted her entire life to delivering babies and training young
doctors in mid-20th century China.Facing immense societal pressure to many,she chose instead to
dedicate herself to her patients.She once stated that"a doctor's responsibility is to save lives."This
profound sense of duty often required her to travel long distances on foot to treat the poor,refusing
payment from those who could not afford it.Her actions were not driven by a desire for fame or fortune,
but by an internal moral compass that prioritized the welfare of others.
These examples,from infant psychology to the life story of a historical figure,highlight a key point:moral
virtues are not simply abstract ideals.They are active forces that shape human interaction.When we act
with integrity,compassion,or justice,we are not merely being "good",we are strengthening the social
fabric upon which our collective well-being depends.The challenge for modemn society,therefore,is not
to invent new morals,but to actively cultivate and honor those timeless virtues that enable humanity to
thrive.
()1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To argue that moral responsibility is outdated.
B.To introduce the topic of moral reasoning as a fundamental human trait.
C.To compare individual success with material gain.
D.To criticize modem society's lack of morals
()2.The Yale University study with infants suggests that
A.babies are bom without any sense of morality
B.humans might have a natural preference for helpful behavior
C.children learn moral values only from their parents
D.the concept of "helping"is only understood later in life
()3.The example of Dr.Lin Qiaozhi is used to illustrate that
A.a doctor's life is full ofhard choices
B.she was more successful than other doctors
C.moral duty can be a powerful driving force in one's life
D.it is easier to be moral when you are famous
()4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Modem society needs to create new moral rules.
B.The social fabric is weakening due to a lack of morals.
C.Moral virtues are active forces that help society function well.
D.Collective well-being is less important than individual success
()5.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.The Science of Morality:From Infants to Heroes
B.Dr.Lin Qiaozhi:A Model of Selflessness
C.The Challenges of Modern Society
D.How to Build a Better Community
Passage B
The debate over whether vitue can be taught has spanned centuries,with philosophers from Aristotle to
modemn educators weighing in.While some argue that character is innate or formed only in early
childhood,a growing body of evidence suggests that"moral education"programs in schools can actually
foster ethical reasoning and behavior.
One highly effective approach is the"Just Community"model,pioneered by psychologist Lawrence
Kohlberg.In this model,schools are structured as democratic communities where students participate in
setting rules and making decisions about their school environment.For instance,students might hold a
town hall meeting to decide on consequences for cheating or to organize a fundraising event for a local
charity.By engaging in these democratic processes,students leamn to consider perspectives different from
their own,to argue for justice and fairness,and to understand the complexities of creating a moral
community
However,teaching morals is not always straightforward.Critics point out that a classroom discussion
about "honesty"may not translate into a student retumning a lost wallet when no one is watching.The key,
researchers argue,is to move beyond abstract lectures and create opportunities for lived experience."
This is where service-learning programs (like volunteering at a homeless shelter)or role-playing difficult
moral dilemmas(such as deciding whether to report a friend for cheating)become crucial.These activities
allow students to practice empathy,exercise moral judgment,and experience the emotional consequences
of their choices in a safe environment.
Furthermore,the role of a teacher as a moral exemplar cannot be overstated.Students are more likely to
intemalize virtues like respect and compassion if they see their teachers modeling those behaviors daily.
When a teacher admits a mistake,treats a struggling student with patience,or shows faimness in grading,
they are providing a powerful,real-world lesson in morality.In essence,the most effective moral
education is not a separate subject,but a culture-a consistent and visible commitment to ethical
principles woven into the very fabric of the school day.
()1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Morality can only be leamned through family upbringing
B.Virtues are innate and cannot be taught in school
C.Effective moral education involves lived experiences and a positive school culture.
D.The "Just Community"model is the only way to teach morals.
()2.According to the text,the "Just Community"model works by
A.having teachers strictly enforce the school rules
B.allowing students to participate in democratic decision-making
C.focusing only on academic achievements
D.punishing students severely for breaking rules
()3.What does the word lived experience"(paragraph 3)most probably refer to?
A.Abstract classroom theories
B.Difficult and challenging situations
C.Direct,hands-on practice of moral behavior.
D.The experience of living in a community
()4.The author mentions a teacher admitting a mistake and showing fairness to illustrate that
A.teachers often make mistakes
B.it is the most difficult part of teaching
C.teachers'own behavior is a powerful teaching tool
D.moral education should be done privately
()5.What is the author's attitude towards the possibility of teaching virtue in schools?
A.Deeply skeptical.
B.Optimistic but cautious
C.Completely indifferent.
D.Strongly opposed.
二、完形填空

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
When 17-year-old Betty Jo Wylie,a high school student from a small town in Texas,found a wallet
containing $1,200 outside a grocery store,she didn't hesitate.She immediately contacted the store's
management,who helped her locate the owner-a single mother who had been saving that money for
months to pay her rent and buy Christmas gifts for her two young children.The woman was so
overwhelmed with gratitude that she offered Betty a reward,which Betty politely refused
"It's not my money,"Betty told the local newspaper."Keeping it would have been wrong.My parents
always taught me that your reputation is more valuable than any amount of money."
This simple act of honesty,however,did not go unnoticed.When the story went viral on social media,a
local university offered Betty a full scholarship to study nursing,impressed by her character.A national
charity even nominated her for a Youth Integrity Award.
Betty's story raises a compelling question:why,in an era of widespread cynicism,do stories of honesty
and virtue still resonate so deeply with us?Perhaps it is because they remind us of the better angels of our
nature.They offer a refreshing counter-narative to the constant news of corporate greed and political
corruption.They reaffirm our belief that integrity still has value in a world that often seems to reward the
opposite.
Experts in moral psychology suggest that such stories serve a crucial social function.They act as"moral
exemplars,"providing clear,tangible models of virtuous behavior that we can all aspire to.When we hear
about someone returning a lost wallet,it not only reinforces our own desire to be honest but also
strengthens our trust in the community we live in.It creates a ripple effect,encouraging others to do good.
In a complex world,these small,powerful acts of virtue are the threads that hold the fabric of a functional
society together.
1.What did Betty do immediately after finding the wallet?
2.Why did Betty refuse the reward?
3.According to the passage,what did Betty's honesty eventually lead to?
4.Why do stories of virtue like Betty's resonate deeply with people?
5.What social function do "moral exemplars"serve according to the experts?

Dear Chris,
I'm glad to hear about your school's"Moral Role Models"activity.It's a wonderful idea.
The person I admire most is Dr.Zhong Nanshan,a famous medical expert.During the COVID-19
pandemic,despite his advanced age,he bravely went to the front line in Wuhan to fight the virus.He told
people not to go there while he himself boarded a train to the epicenter.His devotion to saving lives and
his honesty in reporting the tuth deeply moved millions of Chinese people.He practices what he
preaches,embodying the vitues of bravery,responsibility,and integrity.
He inspires me to be a person who is not afraid of difficulties and who is willing to contribute to the well-
being of others.
