B
The human sense f smell is weak. That is well knwn, and is suspected by many anthrplgists f being the result f a trade-ff (协调) in favr f visual prcessing pwer. In the specific case f peple, hwever, the relative weakness f smell cmpared with sight extends t language, t. Humans have n difficulty putting names t clrs but are ntriusly bad at putting names t smells.
That might als be caused by hw the brain is wired. But sme dubt this. They suggest it is mre likely a cnsequence f the tendency f languages t cntain wrds useful t their speakers. Since smells matter little t mst peple, mst languages have few abstract wrds fr them. A study just published in Current Bilgy, by Asifa Majid at Radbud University in the Netherlands and Nicle Kruspe at Lund University in Sweden, supprts this.
Dr.Majid knew frm previus wrk she had dne that the Jahai, a grup f hunter-gatherers wh live in western Malaysia, are remarkably gd at naming smells. Dr.Majid suggested that it might, in part, be because the Jahai have a dzen wrds dedicated t describing different srts f smells in the abstract. Fr example, the Jahai use the wrd “cŋεs” fr stinging (刺激的) srts f smells assciated with petrl, smke and varius insects, and “pleŋ” fr bldy, fishy and meaty srts f smells. Accrding t Dr Majid, nly “musty” is able t act in this way in English withut drawing n analgy (banana-like, gseberry-nted, and even earthy and sweet-smelling, are all analgies f sme srt).
They als lked at hw tw ther grups f peple frm the Malay Peninsula (马来半岛) used terms fr clrs and smells. These were the Semaq Beri wh als hunt and gather fr a living, and the Semelai, wh cultivate rice. They fund that the Semaq Beri used abstract terms fr smells 86% f the time-abut as ften as they did fr clurs, which was 80%. The Semelai als used abstract clur descriptins at a similar rate, namely 78% f the time. But when it came t describing smells they relied n abstractin n nly 44% f ccasins, while resrting t analgies, such as “banana” and “chclate”, 56% f the time. Given these findings, Dr.Majid and Dr.Kruspe argue that it is the hunting-and-gathering way f life, rather than the use f a particular language, that is crucial t the use f abstract names fr smells.
58. What leads t the difficulty f describing smells accrding t Majid's study?
A. The imbalance between smell and sight.
B. The pr functin f the human nse.
C. The structure f the brain.
D. Lack f relevant vcabulary.
【题源】
【答案】D
【解析】根据文章第二段 smells matter little t mst peple, mst languages have few abstract wrds fr them.可知,因为气味对大多数人来说无关紧要,所以大多数语言中很少有关于气味的抽象的词汇。从而可知,缺乏相关的词汇导致描述气味时存在困难。
59. What can be inferred frm the examples in Paragraph 3?
A. English mainly relies n analgy t name smells.
B. Analgy is ften used in the Jahai language t names smells.
C.“Musty ”is an English wrd using analgy t name a smell.
D. English brrws sme wrds fr smells frm the Jahai language.
【答案】A
【解析】根据文章第三段 t Dr Majid, nly “musty” is able t act in this way in English withut drawing n analgy.可知,在英国只有musty是像Jahai的方式来命名气味的,其他的都是用类比的方法来描述气味。从而可知,英国人主要依赖类比来命名气味。
60. What can we learn frm the study abut tw ther grups?
A. Language plays a decisive rle in naming smells.
B. The tw grups were equally gd at describing clrs.
C. The Semaq Beri's lifestyle helped them have an edge in naming smells.
D. Surviving in the frest has greater effect n human language than farming.
【答案】C
【解析】根据文章最后一段 is the hunting-and-gathering way f life, rather than the use f a particular language, that is crucial t the use f abstract names fr smells.可知,一种狩猎和采集的生活方式,而不是使用一种特定的语言对气味的抽象名字的使用至关重要。从而可知,Semaq Beri的生活方式帮助他们在命名气味方面有优势。

Picture yurself at a crwded airprt departure gate. Yur flight is 20 minutes late. The wman n yur left is nisily eating smething that smells awful. The man t yur right is still braying int his cellphne, and the traveler next t him is preparing t kill time , is that a tenail clipper?
Unless yu are saintly r uncnscius, a few things in that descriptin—r many things, r all the things—are likely t really bug yu. We knw an annyance when we experience it. But what makes smething annying? And des research ffer any advice fr preventing life's annyances frm making ur heads explde? The answers t thse questins are: n. Did even ne university create a Department f Annyance ffer a majr in this universal emtin? N.Nthing.
Then what makes smething annying? It must be harmful but nt physically. A husefly buzzing arund yur head is unpleasant but it wn't kill yu. Als, it must be unpredictable and intermittent. The lud ticking f an alarm clck r the dr f a cat litter bx may at first be annying, but with cnstant expsure vertime, it ceases t be nticeable. Psychlgists' term fr this gradual tlerance f a stimulus is habituatin.Yet when an unpleasant nise r smell cmes and ges, it becmes annying each time it shws up.
Finally, t be truly annying, smething has t persist fr an uncertain perid f time. A fight that's delayed an hur is a bther but tlerable, s lng as it really is just an hur. A flight that's delayed and delayed and delayed, with n explanatin and n end in sight, is extremely annying. The intermittent nature f annyances makes them hard (if nt impssible) t anticipate and thus t prepare a defense against. If yu knw yu're ging t be stuck in traffic, yu might be able t accept it r bring alng a distractin. But when the slwdwn is unexpected, it gets t yu befre yu can stp yurself.
An interesting thing abut annyances is hw they appear t change ver time. A decade ag, ur research led us t cnclude that ne f the mst annying things in the wrld was listening t smene else's lud cell phne cnversatin. We hypthesized that the reasn it was s annying is that ur brains naturally tend t paint a cmplete picture f reality, but when yu nly hear half f a cnversatin, that's nt pssible. Then, cell phne cnversatins seemed annying nly t the peple nt n the phne. Tday it's the call recipients that seem t be getting annyed. I'm nt talking abut receiving a rbcall. I'm talking abut the 20-smething wh recently tld me that an unexpected call, even frm a clse friend, is annying, The thinking seems t be, Why call when a text will d? Or even, Yu shuld have texted t ask if yu culd call...
I've thught a lt abut what makes peple, things, and situatins annying, and what any f us might d t immunize urselves against becming annyed. The answer's actually surprisingly simple: All yu have t d is.
Editr’s Nte: The cntract fr this article set a strict wrd limit. The writer exceeded the limit; the magazine feels bliged t enfrce it. We regret any annyance this might cause, dear readers.
61. Accrding t the passage, which f the flwing is NOT really annying?
A. Nisy eating in crwded pubic places.
B. A buzzing husefly arund yu head.
C. The cnstant ticking f an alarm clck.
D. A delayed flight withut definite arrival time.
【题源】
【答案】C
【解析】根据文章第三段 lud ticking f an alarm clck r the dr f a cat litter bx may at first be annying, but with cnstant expsure vertime, it ceases t be nticeable.可知,闹钟的滴答声或猫砂盒的气味可能一开始会让人感到厌烦,但随着时间的推移,它们就会逐渐消失。而不是闹钟发出持续的滴答声。
62. Accrding t the authr, which f the fllwing statements abut annyance is TRUE?
A. Annyances can be easily avided if peple are cnscius f them.
B. Annyance may be the mst widely experienced and least studied emtin.
C. Annyances change as phne calls are the last chice fr yung peple.
D. Annyance happens when peple pke their nse int thers' affairs.
【答案】B
【解析】根据文章第二段 knw an annyance when we experience it.以及The answers t thse questins are: n. Did even ne university create a Department f Annyance ffer a majr in this universal emtin? N.Nthing.可知,烦恼可能是最广泛经历和最少研究的情绪。
63. What is the purpse f the Editr's Nte?
A. T infrm the readers f the strict rules f the magazine.
B. T aplgize t the readers fr missing the last sentence.
C. T vaguely criticize the authr fr failing t bserve the cntract.
D. T humrusly ech the theme that annyances are universal.
【答案】D
【解析】分析全文可知,编者按的目的是以幽默的口吻与文章主题进行呼应:烦恼是普遍存在的。
64. The article was riginally published in Natinal Gegraphic. In which sectin d yu think it was put?
A. Explre/ The future B. Explre/ Nature
C. Explre/ The big idea. D. Explre/ Fashin
【答案】C
【解析】分析文章内容可知,作者提到了之前从未有过关于烦恼的部门或者专业。从而可知,这是一个崭新的、创新的话题。

It was Shakespeare wh saved Eva Rcek’s life. A Czech Jew made t dig graves in a labur camp, she was usually ignred as she recited petry t raise her spirits. Then she uttered Titania’s lines she had learnt frm A Midsummer Night’s Dream and a guard suddenly spke t her. Days later, he helped her t escape.
The stry is little knwn, but the anthlgist Allie Esiri stumbled acrss it while researching her new bk. “It's extrardinary that it may have been Shakespeare's wrds that jlted the guard's humanity," she said.
After the Hlcaust(大屠杀) Eva was reunited with her byfriend, Jan. They married, mved t the US and bth taught chemistry at Illinis University. Yet nne f that might have happened had she nt been cast in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1944. Eva never gt t appear in the shw as she was driven t the Theresienstadt ghett Czechslvakia, where 33,000 died. But it was there that she met the lve f her life.
Nw 95, Jan still remembers falling in lve with the girl he saw helping elderly peple with their luggage as they arrived. He read petry with her and Eva wuld recite the lines she never gt t perfrm. “Shakespeare was a very imprtant part f her life. I lved hearing her recite it,”he said.
Mnths later Eva was saying thse lines again in the Plish winter. By then, she had lst her father at Auschwitz. She and her mther were assessed by Dr. Jsef Mengele and had been sent t the Kurzbach labr camp. It was there that a guard she knew as Suchy heard her lines as Titania.“He seemed t be listening t my recitatins,” Eva wrte in her memir.
The mere act f him talking t her was frbidden but Eva als nted that he spke t her with the plite frm f “yu” in German. Mr. Rcek said that Suchy had n ulterir mtive. “He never tried in the slightest t tuch her r anything,” he said. The guard kept a watchful eye ver Eva and her mther, particularly when the inmates were marched tward the Grss-Rsen cncentratin camp. Knwing this was a path t death, Suchy apprached Eva's mther Anna early ne mrning and tld them t escape. Eva, Anna and three thers fled int the wds.
Esiri, wh includes the stry in her bk Shakespeare fr Every Day f the Year, says:“Yu wuldn't think thse cnversatins in cncentratin camps had any human mments.” Michael Dbsn, prfessr f Shakespeare studies at Birmingham University, said: “It's what culture's fr. T prvide channels f cmmunicatin between peple even in the hardest circumstances.” Eva and Jan were married frm 1947 until her death in 2015, aged 87. He said: “We saw A Midsummer Night's Dream whenever we had a chance.”
65. Put the fllwing events in the crrect rder.
a. Eva and Jan mved t the US and taught in a university.
b. Eva met Jan and lst her heart t him.
c. Eva's father passed away at Auschwitz.

第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
We, as humans, are all intercnnected and interrelated. Each ne f ur actins and thughts frms a part f ur fate as well as thers' and we are cnnected t each ther. When we share a cllectin f ideas, mrals, attitudes, and beliefs, we, as a sciety, are bund tgether. This is the essence and spirit f cllective cnsciusness.
The term “cllective cnsciusness” was intrduced by the French scilgist, Emile Durkheim, in 1893, wh stated that, the ttality f beliefs and sentiments (感想) cmmn t the average members f a sciety frms a determinate system with a life f its wn. In simpler terms, we can say that a cllectin f cmmn beliefs and ideas strengthens ur bnd as a grup, as a sciety, and acts as a majr cmpnent twards uniting us fr a particular gal.
In mdern sciety, ne f the primary cntributrs t this cncept is the media. The cmmn public is greatly influenced by what is mentined in the newspapers, n the radi, r shwn n televisin, s they begin t have similar ideas and views abut a particular incident r event. Eventually, the media plays a rle in prjecting a viewpint, and this, whether in a gd light r bad, unites peple.
There are many instances f this cncept. A universally-knwn example is that f ants. Observe them careful, and yu will find that they always live tgether in clnies, ding their little bit fr the grup. Hwever, if yu relcate a prtin f the clny, they will perfrm the same tasks at the same time. Mrever, if yu drp a crumb that is t large t be carried by a single ant; and d this t an ant that is distanced frm the rest f the clny, yu'll bserve that the ther ants will cme and help immediately. Hw des this happen? Many peple believe this is a glimpse f cllective cnsciusness in actin.
Fr anther example, whenever we hear reprts f flds, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and the like, we'll frequently feel a cmmn grief. We share a cmmn sadness ver the lss f humanity, separatin and pain. Why d we pray tgether fr all the pr, departed suls, and feel happy when there is sme gd news after the great disaster? Smewhere, we were all made t cnnect t each ther.
Overall, cllective cnsciusness defines the rules f reality. The shared faith and beliefs act as a guiding factr t understanding the universal mind’s discnnectedness. Therefre, practice this cncept in yur daily life. Start believing that we're all ne, we're in this tgether, life r death, and we are all cnnected.

Essay mills have been uncvered as a new glbal way f academic cheating in universities, especially in Britain, where the number f students invlved has multiplied in the last fur years, greatly cncerning educatinal experts.
