15、.No poverty, zero hunger, quality education, these are some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)the United Nations(UN)established in 2015. In May 2019, the UN launched the SDG Book Club; each month, it posts on the club website a selection of books that illustrate a particular SDG to help y
16、oung people interact with these goals.Batesville Intermediate School launched the Junior Ambassadors (大使) program in August 2019, using the SDG Book Club as a springboard to introduce students to a more global view on world issues. Twenty-four 4th and 5th graders met for 30 minutes four days a week
17、to read, discuss, research, and conduct the sharing of knowledge and solutions to these issues. Research activities, special projects, and guest speakers are additional opportunities for junior ambassadors to build knowledge. What began as a desire to help small-town children expand their views grew
18、 into a broader program that affected the school, community, and beyond.The UNs recommendation of Serafinas Promise by Ann E. Burg was perfect for the junior ambassadors to begin their study of the first SDG: no poverty. The book is set in Haiti, so members of local Haitian groups were invited to sp
19、eak to the program participants. Then, the junior ambassadors used their newfound knowledge to create multimedia lessons, sharing them with the other 480 students.The study of the second SDG zero hunger gave junior ambassadors an opportunity to organize and carry out a read- a-thon (a reading marath
20、on) to raise funds for the Grain of Rice Projects school initiative in Kenya. The nonprofits co-founder, Amy Ahiga spoke to and inspired the students with her passion for helping others.Junior ambassadors use what they learn to engage with their community and the world, earning the school the Americ

25、ccasionally turning a page of his book. The scene was in the reopened Liu Fang Yuan garden at the Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. For him, the garden brings to life the Chinese philosophies he learned from books.Phillip E. Bloom, director of the Center for East Asian Garden Stu
26、dies, said the idea for Liu Fang Yuan goes back to the 1980s with the initial aim of creating a collection of Chinese plants, but after research, they realized plants alone were not sufficient to demonstrate the essence of a Chinese garden. Eventually, it was decided to model a garden on 16th and 17
27、th century scholarly retreats(隐居处)in Suzhou.The decision was made partly due to the fame of Suzhou classical gardens, but also because similarities were found between the Huntington and Suzhou gardens. Bloom said that Henry Huntington, founder of the Huntington Library, was a successful US businessm
28、an who used his fortune to collect rare books, artworks and to create gardens. “Many Suzhou gardens were also created by rich people who tried to pursue a scholarly lifestyle,” he added.To preserve the character of the Suzhou gardens, the Huntington Library sought help from Suzhou, giving rise to co
29、llaboration between US and Chinese architects, contractors and designers. In all stages of construction, artisans(工匠)from Suzhou came to work on details of the venue.After three years of expansion from 2018 to 2020, Liu Fang Yuan reopened to the public with 4.6 hectares of new landscape, making it o
30、ne of the largest classical-style Chinese gardens in the world. The additions include courtyards displaying penjing, a scholars studio, a pavilion(亭子)situated at the gardens highest point, etc.Now, it is meaningful to see how people from local communities interact with the garden. “A lot of voluntee
31、rs come to different lectures and exhibitions about Chinese culture hat we hold regularly,” Bloom said. By exposing its visitors to arts and literature, Liu Fang uan goes beyond international boundaries and bridges the cultural gaps between the two ountries.28What do we know about Liu Fang Yuan?AIt
32、used to be a scholarly retreat in Suzhou.BIt was constructed by Suzhou artisans alone.CIt became the largest garden after being expanded.DIt promotes cultural exchanges between America and China.29What is paragraph 3 mainly about?AThe introduction to the founder.BThe fame of Suzhou classical gardens

34、e.BTo detail its architectural features.CTo promote its diverse activities.DTo boost its international fame.Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? It may seem like they have con
35、sciously (有意识地) copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon (变色龙) effect at play.The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation (模仿) of another persons gestures or behaviour. Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environments colours, people acquire the behaviour of others
36、 to bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand in 1999. The first part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and C
37、hartrand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadnt met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% a
38、nd their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals werent aware of what they were being studied for, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to ensure unconscious acts. The second stage involved half of the participants being co
39、pied, and then rating the likeability of the experimenter. The results showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher. It has shown that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them. These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing to
40、be liked, and forming a moment of connection.The main reasons behind humans imitation are positive. However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go undetected. But more common
41、 signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.32Why do people acquire others behavior?ATo match the environments colour.BTo attract others attention.CTo establish a connection with
42、others.DTo adapt to the surroundings.33How did the experimenter guarantee participants unconscious behaviors?ABy directing their attention to a photo.BBy keeping an eye on their actions.CBy telling them the purpose of the study.DBy evaluating the impacts of imitation.34What conclusion can be drawn f
43、rom the experiment?APeople tend to like those who imitate their behavior.BToo much of the chameleon effect can be beneficial.CPeople imitating others are not easy to be detected.DThe copied movements help people to feel relaxed.35Which of the following shows the chameleon effect according to the pas
44、sage?AStudents adopt teachers accents for fun after class.BPeople change their habits to please others on purpose.CA comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.DA husband and his wife share similar behaviours over time.五、七选五Fear is one of our strongest emotions. However, people with phobias(恐惧)hav
45、e an extreme fear response that causes both physical and psychological pain. In everyday life, some phobia triggers(诱因)are much easier to avoid than others. For instance, people who suffer from a fear of bats are highly unlikely to be troubled by these creatures every day. _36_The good news is that
46、there are a variety of different methods used to treat phobias. Among the most popular are cognitive behavioral therapy(疗法), exposure therapy, and virtual reality therapy.*Cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT)_37_ It is thought that unreasonable anxiety is caused by a patients negative interpretation of
47、 events, rather than the events themselves. CBT is a talking therapy that helps patients assess their reactions to situations, replacing the worry cycle with more useful or realistic thoughts.*Exposure therapyThe aim of exposure therapy is to gradually desensitize(使脱敏)the patients to the source of their phobia. _38_ A person who fears spiders might place thinking about a spider at the bottom of the list, and having a spider move along his arm at the top. With the help of a psychologist, the patient systematically works their way through the list, u
