It may wash away the inner confusion you feel ri

11、ght after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect”.It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience（良心）b

12、y rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands. A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadnt cleaned.This finding fascinated W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything fro

13、m the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.He decided to test hand washings effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that weve lose the oth

14、er. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating（夸大）the positive aspects of their choice.He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students one CD as a gift. Some students then use liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed（嗅）it. “Actually, you

15、do not need water and soap,” says Lee.Later, the students again had to rank all the music. People who didnt wash their hands had the normal response they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as even more attractive than before. But this wasnt true for the hand washers. T

16、hey ranked the music about the same. “they feel no need at all to justify the choice,” say Lee.But the implications of it just arent clear. Schwarz says its too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away m

17、ental disorder, but perhaps if they dont go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.1、The Macbeth effect refers to the fact that _.AShakespeare did scientific research before writing MacbethBsoaping up ones hand may help wash aw

22、ndmothers dining rooms - maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.There are man

23、y reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just dont seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.And Sunday was once a d

24、ay when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until its far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a

25、 shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and frien

26、ds. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”1、The best title for the passage is probably _.ASundayBest Time for Famil

BPositive.CSorry. DUncertain.23（8分） Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. An

29、d many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollution is that its been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based

30、environmental organization Client Earth. “People dont realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” Londons poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, citing(引用)a report released by the city manager last year. If people were better informed about t

31、he pollution they re breathing, she says, they could pressure the government to do something about it.Nearby, on a windy hill in Londons Regents Park, an experiment is underway that could helpthe first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for Dig

32、itasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people

33、 around me didnt know anything about it.” Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter.“So”, he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first th

34、ought. But its illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They liveactually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty q

35、uickly and pretty low.”So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the citys air.1、What can we infer about Londons air quality from Paragraph 2?ALondoners are very satisfied with it.BThe government is trying to imp

36、rove it.CLondoners should pay more attention to it.DThe government has done a lot to improve it.2、Duquesnoy attended the London Design Festival to _.Aentertain Londoners.Bsolve a world problem.Cdesign a product for sale.Dprotect animals like pigeons.3、Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly ac

37、ross London?ABecause they are too expensive.BBecause they fly too quickly.CBecause they are forbidden.DBecause they fly too high.4、Which can be the best title for the text?AClean air in London.BLondons dirty secret.CLondons new pollution fighter.DCauses of air pollution in London.24（8分）The light fro

38、m the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Denniss Swamp (沼澤地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching th

39、e hot coals. “How did this place get its name?”“Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldnt have chosen this place!”“Ok, but dont say I didnt warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back

40、in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He

41、 was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.“You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. ”“Silly fool, said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill become wealthier. Hes just

42、 jealous!”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swa

43、mp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river

44、 and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants cant ” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (暈倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered

45、 Toms face.

48、 country Pontinha, an island on Funchal harbour. Its in Madeira, Portugal, where I grew up. It was discovered in 1419; Captain Cook once came here.In 123, the Portuguese government didnt have enough money to build a harbor port, so the king sold the land to a wealthy British family, the Blandys, who

49、 make Madeira wine. Fourteen years ago, the family decided to sell it for just 25,000 (19,500). I decided to buy it though I had no moneyI was just an art teacher.I tried to find some business partners, but they all thought I was crazy to want to buy what is actually a large rock; it has a small cav

50、e, a platform on top, and no electricity or running water. So I sold some of my possessions, put my savings together and bought it.When the king of Portugal originally sold the island in 123, he and all the governors signed a document, selling all the “possessions and the dominions (領(lǐng)土)” of the isla

51、nd. It means I can do what I want with itI could start a restaurant, or a cinema, but nobody thought that someone would want to start a country. So thats what I did: I decided that this would no longer be just a rock on the port of Funchal. It would be my island, about the size of a one-bedroom hous
