11、the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on the 3 ANSWER SHEET.(40 points) Text 1 Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a little later, in conjunction with a childs growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children arent born kn

12、owing how to say “Im sorry”; rather, they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friendsand their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good thing. In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad

13、rap. It is deeply uncomfortableits the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,” says Amrisha Vaish, a psychology researcher at the Universit

14、y of Virginia, adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions arent binaryfeelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger, for example, may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness can be destructive

15、. And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our 4 goodness, can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships. Guilt, in other words, can help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind of social glue. Viewed in this light, guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malt

16、i, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies, Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make

17、up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can rein in their nastier impulses. And vice versa: High sympathy can substitute for low guilt. In a 2014 study, for example, Malti looked at 244 children. Using caregiver assessments and the childrens self-observations, she rated each childs o

18、verall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions. Then the kids were handed chocolate coins, and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. For the low-sympathy kids, how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel

19、guilty. The guilt-prone ones shared more, even though they hadnt magically become more sympathetic to the other childs deprivation. 5 “Thats good news,” Malti says. “We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret.” 21.Researchers think that guilt can be a good thing because it may hel

20、p_. A)regulate a childs basic emotions B)improve a childs intellectual ability C)foster a childs moral development D)intensity a childs positive feelings 22.According to paragraph 2, many people still consider guilt to be_. A)deceptive B)burdensome C)addictive D) deception 23. Vaish hold that the re

21、thinking about guilt comes from an awareness that_. A)emotions are context-independent B)emotions are socially constructive C)emotional stability can benefit health D)an emotion can play opposing roles 24. Malti and others have shown that cooperation and sharing _. 6 A. may help correct emotional de

22、ficiencies B. can result from either sympathy or guilt C. can bring about emotional satisfaction D. may be the outcome of impulsive acts 25. The word “transgressions” (Line 4, Para.5) is closest in meaning to _. A. teachings B. discussions C. restrictions D. wrongdoings Text 2 Forests give us shade,

23、 quiet and one of the larder callenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce, we are threatening their ability to do so. The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more c

24、arbon than they absorb. Thankfully, there is a way out of this trap-but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable “carbon sinks” long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now. California is leading the way, as it does on 7 so many cli

25、mate efforts, in figuring out the details. The states proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture, so they g

26、row and thrive, restoring the forests capacity to pull carbon from the air. Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects. The landscape is rendered less easily burnable. Even in the event of a fine, fewer trees are consumed. The need for such planning is increasingly urgent. Already, since

27、 2010, drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California, most of them in 2016 alone, and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres. California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by 2030- financed from the proceeds of the states emissions-

28、permit auctions. Thats only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit, about half a million acres in all, so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought. The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in

29、 the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels. New research on transportation biofuels is 8 already under way. State governments are well accustomed to managing forests, but traditionally theyve focused on wildlife, watersheds and opportunities f

30、or recreation. Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. Californias plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year, should serve as a model. 26. By saying “one of the harder challenges,” the author implies that _. A. global cl

31、imate change may get out of control B. people may misunderstand global warming C. extreme weather conditions may arise D. forests may become a potential threat 27. To maintain forests as valuable “carbon sinks,” we may need to _. A. preserve the diversity of species in them B. accelerate the growth of young trees C. strike a balance among
