11、rly February 2019, 51-year-old Rainer Schimpf and his team set out to film South Africas Sardine Run off the coast of Point Elizabeth Sardine Run, the annual migration(迁徙)of billions of sardines (a small sea fish), is a big draw for large predators, especially the dolphin and whale. Predators are an
12、imals that kill and eat other animals. In an attempt to obtain the best images of the incredible natural phenomenon, Rainer dived into the middle of a spinning ball of fish. Suddenly the sea moved around violently, and the experienced diver and his photographer Heinz Toperczer, who was filming from
13、the boat, instantly realized something strange was going on Suddenly dolphins shot out of the water, a white spray came out and then a whale appeared and grasped RainerWhile Toperczer was filming the terrifying turn of events with his video camera, Rainer, who was trapped had first and engulfed(吞噬)i
14、n darkness inside the whales mouth, was trying to survive. Nothing can actually prepare you for the event when you end up inside the pure instinct(本能), the diver told Barcroft TV. “Knowing in the whales mouth, I tried to control my fear. But I was convinced that it was going to dive down and release
15、 me much deeper in the ocean.”The whale quickly realized he was no sardine! As the whale turned sideways, he opened his mouth slightly to release me, and I was washed out, together with what felt like tons of water, of his mouth, recalled Rainer. Though the entire incident lasted just 1. 8 seconds,
16、it felt like a year to Rainer.Still holding his underwater camera in his hand. the diver swam to his boat, where he was quickly rescued by the members of the team. The terrible adventure did not disturb Rainer for too long. After checking to ensure he had no injuries, the diver returned to the water

19、（8分）Intelligent people are more likely to trust others,while those who score lower on measures of intelligence are less likely to do so.Oxford University researchers based their finding on an analysis of the General Social Survey.The authors say one explanation could be that more intelligent individ
20、uals are better at judging characters and may spend more time building relationships with people they can trust.Another reason could be that smarter people are better at weighing up situations and assessing whether or not the other person will hold up his or her end of a bargain.“Intelligence is sho
21、wn to be linked with trusting others.”said the studys lead author,Noah Carl of Oxford University,“This finding supports what other researchers have argued,namely that being a good judge of character is a distinct part of human intelligence.”In addition,the study shows that individuals who are more t
22、rusting are also happier with their lives and had higher levels of physical health.The Oxford researchers found,however,that the links between trust and health,and between trust and happiness,are not explained by intelligence.The findings confirmed that trust is a valuable resource for an individual
23、,and is not simply a measure of intelligence.The authors say the research is significant because the study of social trust could have far-reaching implications in public welfare,as social trust contributes to the success of important social institutions,such as welfare systems and financial markets.
24、According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development,trust is in increasingly short supply in current generation.This decline threatens world leaders ability to handle some of todays key challenges like global warming,and the political system.There are good reasons to think that gover
25、nments should try to develop more trust in society.Distrust usually causes friction in personal relationships,careers and politics among others,says Stephen Covey. Although majority of people say that trust can never be restored once its broken,Stephen feels it can be brought back. Its not easy,it t
26、akes time,but you do it through your behavior,not just things you say.1、It can be concluded from the analysis of the General Social Survey that .Aintelligent people tend to show more trust in othersBjudgment of characters determines the level of intelligenceCintelligence accounts for the connection
27、between trust and healthDintelligent individuals spend less time on interpersonal relationship2、What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably mean?AMake the best of a situation. BStick to ones promise as agreed.CFigure out the true value of a bargain. DMake an assessment of a deal.3、Accord
28、ing to the research,higher level of social trust is .Aa decisive basis for stable political systemBa basic step to deal with global warmingCa contributing factor to successful public institutionsDa complete solution to interpersonal conflicts4、When it comes to rebuilding trust,Stephen is most likely
29、 to agree that .Aactions always speak louder than wordsBbehavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his imageCbehavior is largely determined by mindDaction is the proper fruit of knowledge23（8分）The worlds population is projected to reach 11 billion by the end of the century.Feeding that many people
30、 will be a challenge, and it is further complicated by the impact of climate change on agriculture. That is why some people advocate an unusual way to boost the food supply and feed people sustainably by eating less meat and more insects.About 2 billion people already eat bugs. Mexicans enjoy chilly
31、-toasted grasshoppers. Thais tuck into cricket stir-fries and Ghanaians snack on termites. Insects are slowly creeping on to Western menus as novelty items, but most people remain squcamish(拘谨).Yet there are three reasons why eating insects makes sense.First, they are healthier than meat. There are
32、nearly 2000 kinds of edible insects, many of them packed with protein, calcium, fiber, iron and zinc. A small serving of grasshoppers can contain about the same amount of protein as a similar sized serving of beef, but has far less fat and far fewer calories.Second, raising insects is cheap, or free
33、. Little technology or investment is needed to produce them. Harvesting insects could provide livelihoods to some of the worlds poorest people.Finally, insects are a far more sustainable source of food than livestock. Livestock production accounts for nearly a fifth of all greenhouse-gas emissions,
34、thats more than transport. By contrast, insects produce relatively few greenhouse gases and raising them requires much less land and water. And they eat almost anything.Despite all this, most Westerners find insects hard to swallow.One solution is to use protein extracted from bugs in other products
35、 such as ready meals and pasta sauces. Not having to look at the bugs and emphasizing the environmental benefits might make the idea of eating insects a bit more palatable.1、What is the direct reason why some people advocate eating insects?AInsufficient food supply BClimate changeCThe rapid increase
36、 of population DInsects high nutrition2、From the passage, we can infer that .Aeating insects is healthier than eating beefBeating insects is popular among westernersCeating insects can help people lose weightDeating insects causes less damage to the environment3、How can we make it more acceptable to
37、 eat insects?ABy closing your eyes when eating insectsBBy eating insects together with other foodCBy putting insects nutrients into other food productsDBy considering the environmental benefits of eating insects24（8分）My grandmother Rosalind Einhorn was born exactly fifty-two years before I was, on A
38、ugust 28, 1917. Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts, and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.During the Depression my grandm
39、other was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boys edocation was the familys hope to move up the financia
40、l and social ladder. Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the familys income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home?!” Luckily for my grandmother, a local t
41、eacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C Berkeley.After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at Davids Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, Davids had to hire four pe
42、ople to replace her. Years later, when my grandfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and looked some of the hard steps he was reluctant to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed (诊断) with bre
43、ast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her ownmy
44、 mother and her two brothersshe emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose
45、 teaching. She began a Ph. Dprogramme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wifes help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division
46、 of labour stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me. My sister, and my brother, all three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My
47、brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym. Despite my athletic shortcomings, I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I dont remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also
