Survivors of disasters are at significant risk for such problems as depression and anxiety. In an upcoming report, George A. Bonanno and colleagues note that disasters result in extreme psychological harm in a minority of individuals less than 30% of samples experience severe levels of these psychological problems. Just as there are a wide range of problems experienced following disasters, Bonanno and his co-authors observe there are also a number of outcome patterns. Some survivors will exhibit chronic dysfunction (慢性功能障碍) but the majority will go on to recover psychological function within a few months or years. Following disasters, the most common form of immediate psychological intervention (介入) is Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) (危机事件应激晤谈). However, following a review of studies on the effectiveness of CISD, Bonanno and co-authors conclude, “Multiple studies have shown that CISD is not only ineffective but, as suggested earlier, in some cases can actually be psychologically harmful.” “The data on crisis debriefing suggest that imposing such interventions on individuals doesnt work,” Lilienfeld says. “If some of the miners want to talk to somebody to express their feelings, then by all means mental health professionals should be there to listen to them and support them. But for miners who would prefer not to talk much about the experience, its best to leave them alone and respect their own coping mechanisms (应对机制).” According to Bonanno and his co-authors, there are treatments that may be effective in helping survivors recover from disasters. Psychological first aid (PFA) which, among other things, provides practical help and helps develop a sense of safety and calmness among survivors is a promising approach. For example, the community-centered intervention which helps maintain a sense of connectedness and quality of community life is beneficial to survivors of disasters.1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “traumatic” in the first paragraph?A.Amusing.B.Upsetting.C.Impressive.D.Memorable.2.What can be inferred from Lilienfelds words?A.The choices of interventions should follow the survivors will.B.The survivors should often ask health professionals for advice.C.Its beneficial for the survivors to communicate with each other.D.The miners should be respected for their hard and dangerous work.3.According to the passage, which of the following methods is generally more effective?A.Help survivors fit in their communities.B.Urge survivors to join in volunteer programs.C.Ask survivors to speak out their experiences.D.Leave survivors alone to improve their emotions.4.What is the passage mainly about?A.The types of psychological problems.B.The harmful effects of mine accidents.C.The new research about the mental activity.D.The psychological help for survivors of disasters.3、Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic (经济的) reasonswhy they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.1.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.3.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph , the author probably means“_”.A.destroy old buildingsB.put things in a different placeC.choose new architectural stylesD.respect peoples feelings for historical buildings4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.4、 In my very first job with some archaeologists, I wasnt digging objects out of the ground, instead I was employed as an artist, drawing what they found. However, I was soon more interested in the stories behind the objects than in drawing them and thats how my career in archaeology started. I still draw what I find in my work as a specialist on the Silk Road, the old trade route running from Egypt to Mongolia, and I also work on some underwater projects too. In archaeology, my all-time hero is an American called Raphael Pumpelly. I first heard about him when I was a student on a trip to Turkmenistan, a country right in the heart of Asia. To get around the country, I had to learn Russian so that I could speak to the local people. When I got there I thought, “Wow! Im one of the first Americans here!” Then an old man told me about an American archaeologist, Raphael Pumpelly, who was there doing the same thing over 100 years ago. Archaeologys in my family. My wifes in the same profession, and, although our two boys arent interested in the future in archaeology themselves, weve been on some great digs together and they love what we do because they get to travel with us. Last summer, we took them to Lake Titicaca in South America, in the high areas of the Andes mountain range. My best experience was when I was digging on the Egyptian Red Sea coast. Theres very little rain and its so dry that everything is kept as it was. In an old house, where the owner used to store goods from the ships that came in, I picked up a 700-year-old mat in front of the house and there, under it, after all that time, was the house key with the owners name carved on it. It felt like he could be on his way home any minute! And I thought, “Hey, I do just that. This mans not much different to me!”1.While working in Egypt, what did the writer find so interesting?A.That people from different centuries can be so similar.B.The fact that the doormat was in such good condition.C.The way the people managed to live in such a dry place.D.That there had been so much trade in that area.2.Which entry will the writer probably make in his diary?A.Turkmenistan is interesting. Im the first American to come here but Im glad this is my last trip away.B.I have been diving today and found some objects for an exhibition. Ive just finished drawing them for my records.C.I wish my children werent more interested in archaeology and would not work hard in the open like their parents.D.Its nearly dark but Raphaels still busy digging in that old house. He can be very annoying. He thinks hes the most important person here.3.What is the writers main purpose in writing the text?A.To describe the life of an archaeologist he admires.B.To persuade people to take up archaeology as a career.C.To explain what he enjoys about being an archaeologist.D.To show how archaeologists work.5、Two hundred years after Charles Darwins birth, studies have found new details of his life at the University of Cambridge. Six leather-bound ledgers (皮革账本) discovered in the university show this. He lived in the most expensive rooms provided for a rich student at his time. He had someone to clean his room, make his bed and take care of the fire in his bright rooms. He hired a dishwasher, a clothes washer and a man who cleaned his shoes. A tailor(裁缝),hatter and barber made sure he was well presented. A chimney cleaner and a coalman kept his fire going. Christs Colleges basic food was meat and beer. Darwins bill topped 636 pounds during his three years of study at Cambridge. Later he described this time as the most joyful of his happy life. That large sum (金额)would have been fairly common for a student at Cambridge in the 19th century. In those days Cambridge was full of rich students living a pretty good life and Darwin was just one of them. And thus he had plenty of time for socializing or private study. He would be out shooting, collecting beetles, doing his scientific hobbies or visiting friends. He played cards and drank wine at night, just like students always have.A. Thanks to the richness, he was able to hire servants to help with the daily life.B. The findings were published on the Internet.C. So he paid five and a lialf pence extra each day to have vegetables.D. He enjoyed the kind of comfortable university life that most of todays students can only dream about.E. He had several people to help him to deal with the daily housework.F. When you look at the ledgers, you can find there were many rich students in Cambridge.G. The bills were paid by his wealthy father, Robert Darwin, a doctor. 6、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 We have all heard how time is more valuable than money, but is it 1 to have too much time?
