19、列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Owning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease and death, according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in the journal Scientific Reports. The scientists followed 3.4 million people over
20、the course of 12 years and found that adults who lived alone and owned dogs were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults who lived alone without dogs. In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from heart disease. “Dog ownership was especially prom
21、inent as a protective factor in people living alone, who are a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a multi person household，”Mwenya Mubanga, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, and the lead junior author of the study, s
22、aid in a statement announcing its findings. The link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率) was less pronounced in adults who lived either with family members or partners, but still present, according to the study.“Perhaps a dog may stand in as an important family member in the single househ
23、old，”Mubanga added.“Another interesting finding was that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most protected.” The study, which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog, suggested that one of the reasons why dog owners may have a lower risk of mortalit
24、y and heart disease was that dog owners walked more.“These kinds of epidemiological(流行病学的) studies look for associations in large populations but do not provide answers to whether and how dogs could protect their owners from heart disease，”Tove Fall, a senior author of the study and a professor at U
25、ppsala University, said in a statement. “We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity, which could be one explanation for the observed results，”Fall added.“Other explanations include increased well being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microb
26、iome(微生物菌群) in the owner.”Fall added that because all participants of the study were Swedish, the results most closely apply to dog owners in Sweden or other“European populations with similar culture regarding dog ownership” 56Why did the researchers do the study related to 3.4 million peoples healt
27、h and the dogs? ATo help Europeans. BTo find their association. CTo protect unhealthy adults. DTo reduce the risk of heart disease. 57What does the underlined word “prominent” probably mean in Para.3? AUniversal. BConfusing. CAppealing. DImportant. B Visa last year offered up to 50 small businesses
28、a $10， 000 reward to go cashless. Though it is still too early to know what will happen to the businesses that won the competition (Visa has not announced the winners yet), the key arguments in favor of cash- abandonment are that it would lead to more efficient service and carry a lower risk of thef
29、t. A recent New York Times article covered restaurants in Manhattan that take plastic only, and supporters are looking forward to an entirely cashless society. Doing away with cash may indeed sound appealing. Supporters often note that China and India have already gone further in this direction than
30、 the United States. But a few drawbacks are obvious: Card companies such as Visa charge merchants high processing fees, the risk of fraud(诈 骗) balances out the lower risk of theft, older consumers may not wish to make the change, and consumers will lose yet more privacy (large companies will have th
31、e ability to track every purchase made). Perhaps the less obvious one is that a cashless system will exclude the poor and the nearpoor, for many poor people dont have credit cards or bank accounts. Conditions in the US. are nowhere near suitable for entering a cashless society; too many people would
32、 be left behind. Your young friend may be happy to accept money via PayPal or another app, your cafe may use an iPad instead of a cash register, but landlords in low- income areas still prefer money orders. Its convenient for consumers to charge, say, an outing to the nail salonbut when you add the
33、tip to your credit card bill, it may never make it to the worker. 58Why did Visa hold the competition? ATo support small businesses. BTo attract more users. CTo promote cash- abandonment. DTo reward successful businesses. 59Which is the disadvantage of a cashless society according to the author? ATh
34、e risk of fraud is lower than that of theft. BConsumers privacy has more potential risks. CMore plastic is used and causes resource waste. DThe poor and the near- poor are unwilling to use cash. 60Who would probably prefer to be paid in cash? AA landlord in a developed area. BA cafe owner. CA young
35、person. DA worker in a nail salon. C Dont get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A UI(University of Iowa) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors
36、. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long- term payoff of studying. “For the teenager, the rewards are attractive，” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kin
37、d of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenagers best interest to continue, he will still go on. Thats because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.” For parents, that means limiting distraction so teenagers can make be
38、tter choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma for example: At 9 pm., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. “Im not saying they shouldnt be allowed to have access to technology，” Vaidya says. “But some help in netting their
39、 concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse(冲动)control skills.” In their study, Vaidya and co- author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are
40、 not fully developed. But the UI researchers wonder whether something more fundamental is going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher- level reasoning. “We wanted to try to understand how the brains reward system changes from childhood to adulthood，” says Vaidya, who adds the
41、reward character in the human brain is easier than decisionmaking. “Weve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an underdeveloped frontal lobe， ” he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 an
42、d 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate. In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological aspects of their results. 61What does the passage mainly tell us? AAlways, rewards are attractive to teenagers. BResistance can be controlled well by adolescents. CGett
43、ing rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study. DThe initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long- term payoff of studying. 62Which statement agrees with Jatin Vaidyas idea? AChildren should have access to the Internet. BChildren need help in refocusing t
44、heir attention. CParents should help children in making decisions. DThe influence of the reward is weak in adolescents. 63What result does teenagers brain underdevelopment lead to? AMaking good decisions. BEscaping risky behavior. CJoining in dangerous actions. DDoing things after some thought. 64Ho
45、w did the researchers carry out their study? ABy examining adults brain. BBy examining teenagers brain. CBy building the brains reward system. DBy making a comparison of brain examinations. D Im a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories. I grew up reading British and America
46、n childrens books. When I began to write, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue- eyed, they ate apples and talked a lot about the weather, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes, and we never talked about the weather. Because all
47、I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them. Things changed when I discovered African books. Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye, I went through a_mental_shift in my idea of literature
48、. I realized that people like mea girl with skin of the color of chocolate, could also exist in literature. I started to write about things I recognized. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this: It saved me from having a single story of what books were. The year I turned eight, we got a new houseboy Fide from a nearby rural village. The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. And when I didnt finish my dinner, my mother would say, “Finish your food! Dont you know? People like Fides family have nothing”. So I felt enormous pi
