The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator (参议员). During the late 1960s, Americans experienced the unexpected side effects of high productivity of industry. Factories were giving out smoke while leaded petrol were used for vehicles, making air pollution increasingly severe.
What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill (溢出) in California, which had killed about 3,500 sea birds, besides sea animals like dolphins and seals, causing great public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that time, Nelson found it a proper time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. And the sure-fire way was through public pressure. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental awareness took center stage.
On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a sustainable environment and thousands of students marched against the worsening environment. Different groups were now working together for a shared goal ― environmental conservation and the effort became effective. The government took tougher measures and affected businesses were forced to follow standards.
As environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a joint effort towards protecting the environment.
For his role as founder of Earth Day, Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995), the highest honour in the USA, by then US President Clinton. We salute (致敬) the man, as the fight for cleaner environment continues.
4.What motivated Senator Nelson to start Earth Day
A.High productivity of industry.
B.Increasingly severe air pollution.
C.The 1969 oil spill in the USA.
D.The students’ involvement in war.
5.What played an essential role in the birth of Earth Day
A. Students’ movement. B. Strict regulations.
C. Government’s measures. D. Public pressure.
6.In which year did Earth Day start to draw the world’s attention
A. 1970. B. 1990. C. 1992. D. 1995.
7.What’s the main idea of the passage
A.The establishment of Earth Day.
B.The effort of going green globally.
C.Fighting for cleaner environment.
D.Honoring the founder of Earth Day.
Almost everyone agrees that art is important, but they disagree on whether governments, using taxpayers’ public money, should be funding it. Also, if governments do spend money on art, what artworks should they buy and for what purpose
Most governments purchase well-known artworks for public galleries, such as the Metropolitan in New York, the National Gallery in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Uffizi in Florence, which are all free to the public. Most people do not object to public money being spent on keeping great artworks available to the public eye. However, there are some types the public are often not so happy about supporting.
In the 1980s when most people seemed to have lost interest in art, the Turner Prize was started in order to regain public’s attention again. This is a contemporary art award supported by taxpayers. In 1999, the Turner Prize came under great public criticism when Tracey Emin was shortlisted for the prize for her work called “My Bed”. “My Bed” was her actual bed which she had lain in for days following a relationship breakup. To some, this was a breakthrough and some visitors even jumped into the bed and rolled around. To others, it was simply a dive into the depths of human depravity (堕落).
But is the kind of “work” done by Emin “art” And should the public pay for it, especially when it is so controversial (有争议的)
Western art is certainly at a crossroads. Does it keep exploring the dark side or does it seek an ideal beauty Perhaps the answer depends on the public at large and the values they hold. Many people were pleased when Richard Wright won the Turner Prize in 2009 with his fresco(壁画). Its artistic beauty, poetic nature and use of historic tradition might shows that society is looking for something more positive and “rooted” in its history again. If public money is spent on art, it is essential that the public play a key role in debating both art, and what art they are willing to pay for.
8.Why are some galleries mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. They are well known worldwide. B. They appeal to the public.
C. They offer free admission. D. They are publicly funded.
9.What do we know about “My bed”
A. It’s a controversial painting. B. It caused opposing reactions.
C. It seeks ideal beauty and truth. D. It goes against contemporary art.
10.Which word can best describe the public’s attitude to Wright’s fresco
A. Appreciative. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Unhappy.
11.Who should have the final say on public investment in art according to the passage
A. Artists. B. The government.
C.Taxpayers. D. Turner Prize winners.
Victor Borge once wrote, “Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” Yet laughter isn’t always positive for relationships. Think of your friend laughing at your embarrassing mistake. This kind of unshared laughter can have the opposite effect.
Now, a new study explores when laughter works as a social glue. While all genuine laughter may help us feel good, shared laughter may communicate to others that we have a similar worldview, which strengthens our relationships.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina found a way to produce shared laughter to measure experimentally how it might impact a relationship with a stranger. Participants watched a funny, not-so-funny, or not-funny-at-all video while video-chatting with another same-sex participant. Unknown to them, the video chat displayed a pre-recorded clip (片段) of someone laughing the same amount for each of the two funny videos, but only smiling occasionally during the unfunny video. This produced more shared laughter in the first situation, less shared laughter in the second, and no shared laughter in the third. Afterwards, the participants then filled out questionnaires about their sense of similarity to their video partner, and how much they liked or wanted to get to know their video partner.
Results showed that, across the different videos, the amount of shared laughter had consistent (一致的) effects on the participants’ sense of similarity to the video partner ― and that this, in turn, increased how much participants liked their partner and wanted to affiliate with him or her. “For people who are laughing together, shared laughter signals that they see the world in the same way, and it momentarily improve their sense of connection,” says Sara Algoe, co-author of the study.
How can we put these findings into practice Algoe suggests that relationship partners may want to find opportunities to laugh together in order to boost closeness, especially before having difficult conversations. Likewise, shared laughter could be introduced into staff meetings to make people feel more on the same page and thus become more productive.
12.What is the finding of the experiment
A.Laughter creates distances.
B.Laughter is a reliable social glue.
C.Unshared laughter has negative effect.
D.Shared laughter brings closeness.
13.What are the participants asked to do in the experiment
A.Record the reaction to the videos.
B.Video chat with a same-sex stranger.
C.Fill out questionnaires on the videos.
D.Laugh the same amount each time.
14.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “affiliate with” in Paragraph 4
A. Connect with. B. Turn to. C. Agree with. D. Refer to.
15.In which situation is shared laughter probably used according to Algoe
A. During a court meeting. B. After seeing a doctor.
C. Before solving conflicts. D. When taking an exam.
二、七选五
16.Sometimes, it’s good to be bored
“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. ①________
That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result ②________ In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.
“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “③________.” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play ― with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.
The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “④________” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone.
⑤________ The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom ― to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.
A.And there is, of course, bad boredom.
B.Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.
C.But what if boredom is a meaningful experience
D.These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.
E.Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.
F.We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.
G.When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.

Keeping Hope Alive in the Storm
One day, my parents took my younger brother, Kaleb and me to visit my aunt’s family, who lived on a beautiful lake. We planned to have a family dinner together.
While parents made dinner, my cousin Jerel showed us around. Seeing the yellow rubber boat near the bank, I excitedly urged for a boat ride. Jerel agreed. He grew up on this lake. Though he was 16, it didn’t seem to bother him that I was 12 and Kaleb was 7.
We couldn’t wait to jump into the rubber boat, took up the paddles(浆) and set out. Our destination was the small rocky island in the middle of the lake. We laughed and chatted as we paddled along. The sky was blue with piles of white clouds. It was a bit cold, but our life jackets kept us warm.
After half an hour, we reached the island. We jumped off and tied the boat to a huge rock. We started to explore the desert island. We were having so much fun that we didn’t notice the weather had changed. Dark clouds gathered and the wind picked up. Then thunder rolled across the sky. Jerel looked worried and nudged me, “A storm is on the way. We need to rush back!”
Jerel led us back to the shore. The calm water had turned into a mess. The boat bounced up and down in the waves. Jerel yelled, “Jump into the boat! Hurry!” We held onto the side of the boat and managed to climb into it. Surprisingly, we found our boat stuck firmly in the rocks. What’s worse, there was a big hole at the bottom. Maybe it was torn open by the sharp rock.
Suddenly, the rain poured down upon us, beating against our faces and pounding our life jackets. Kaleb was terrified and started crying. We decided to seek shelter from the rain. Before we headed back, Jerel shouted, “Wait! Let’s get the boat out onto the shore! It will help us build a shelter.”

解析:①考查过去分词作定语。句意:由中国作家海亚创作的《时空画家》获得了2023年10月18日至23日在成都举行的第81届世界科幻大会雨果奖最佳中篇小说奖。分析句子结构可知,主句的谓语是has won,因此本空应填非谓语动词,hold与名词the 81st World Science Fiction Convention构成被动关系,因此本空应填过去分词作定语。故填held。
②考查现在完成时的被动语态。句意:这是雨果奖第三次颁发给中国作家。It is the first time + that 从句,从句要用现在完成时。主语the Hugo Award是单数名词,因此用has done,与present构成被动语态,故填has been presented。

We turned the boat over, leaving one end onto a huge rock and the other fixed onto the ground. Seeing the rain still pouring through the hole, Jerel took off his life jacket and covered it. Then we hurriedly crawled under the boat, feeling safe and relieved. (79)
Now under the shelter we could do nothing but wait. It was getting darker. Hungry and frightened, Kaleb started crying again. Seeing the endless rain, I felt upset too. Jerel hugged us tightly and said, "Keep hope alive. We will make it." His voice was calm but his words really did the trick. Kaleb stopped crying. Jerel told stories to cheer us up. Then time didn't seem hard to pass. We waited patiently until parents came to our rescue. This unforgettable experience throws a new light on the significance of hope一overcoming fear and bringing power. (83)
