Daily art.BThe Chinese television reality show called “Wonderful Friends”, where entertainers hug whale sharks, kiss lions, feed pandas and dress up baby chimpanzees, has come under fire from wildlife protectors who want it to be stopped, saying such activities are cruel and are dangerous for both the humans and animals.The show is the latest hit from Hunan TV, which has attracted more than 196,000 followers. In each show, popular stars are given zoo-keeping tasks that allow them to interact with wild animals in order to bring humans and animals closer together.Animal welfare advocates(倡导者) say that is exactly what should be avoided. Dave Neale of Animals Asia (an advocacy group) said, “It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals (圈养动物) and putting the animals welfare and health at risk.”“What they dont realize is that wild animals need space,” said Xie Yan, a zoologist and China director of the Wildlife Conservation Society. “Putting clothes on chimpanzees is not as adorable as you may think from the animals point of view. I guess their idea was to get their viewers to love and protect the animals,” Ms. Xie added, “but we do not agree with this approach for entertainment.”Using famous people to focus public attention on wildlife is a common practice in conservation campaigns. The Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming went to Africa and highlighted the problem of elephant and rhinoceros poaching in the documentary “The End of the Wild”. “But differently, he, as a human observer, kept his distance and was there to see the hard truth of poaching, and that is different from a show created to attract viewers.” Ms Xie said.Critics (评论家)also argue that the show breaks Chinese wildlife protection laws.34. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?A. Many people like the show because of its dangerous activities.B. Xie Yan is against persuading the public to love and protect animals.C. The reality show makes no difference to wildlife at all.D. Some think the show is against wildlife protection laws of China.35. According to Ms Xie, “Wonderful Friends” is basically different from “The End of the Wild”, because _.A. they both invite different popular stars to show up B. they film different numbers and kinds of species C. their filming locations are differentD. their purposes and ways to approach animals are different36. Whats the authors attitude towards “Wonderful Friends”?A. Worried. B. Disappointed. C. Uninterested. D. Not mentioned.37. The passage would most likely be found _.A. on a notice board B. in a newspaperC. in a fashion magazine D. in an ad of wildlife protectionCSome of the worlds most well-known brands, including Ericsson, Volvo and Ikea, all originated from SwedenThe country also brought us the zipper, used by many men in the world on a daily basis, according to Swedish Wire, a news websiteWith a population of barely over 9 million and gross domestic production （GDP） at about $538 billion in 2011-just a thirteenth that of China. Sweden seems like an unlikely candidate for a leader of innovation （创新）Yet, for the past three years, it has consistently topped the European Commissions Regional Innovation Scoreboard, coming first in 2010 and 2012, and second in 2011Swedens neighbors, including Denmark, famous for such brands as Nokia and Lego, are also known for their innovative culturesHow have these Scandinavian countries managed to make these achievements?Pasi Sahlerrg, Director General of the Finnish Ministry of Education and Cultures Centre for International Mobility, believes the education system is central to the success of Scandinavian countriesA key feature of this system is that every childs education is personalized and teachers are highly trainedIn Finland, School-readiness means getting the school ready to meet the needs of its students, rather than getting the students ready for school, said SahlerrgLimited homework, no standardized tests and the absence of a national curriculum are intended to teach students how to manage themselves independently and to organize their time creatively, both vital for encouraging innovationOf course, there are factors beyond the education system that also determine the rate of innovationSo how to imitate Scandinavias success in innovation? Foster （培育）a well-educated generation, provide it with the necessary financial resources, establish a supportive policy environment for it to turn the innovative ideas it generates into success38The first paragraph is written to _Aintroduce the topic of the text Bdescribe some quality productsClist some famous brands from Sweden Dquote a Swedish website39As a leading country in innovation, Sweden _Awas Number One in innovation over the past three yearsBis well-known for its innovative culturesCpresents to the world such brands as Nokia and LegoDhad a very high GDP in 201140According to Pasi Sahlerrg, Scandinavias success in innovation lies in _Aschool-readiness Bthe system of educationCteacher training Dpersonalized teaching41What is a feature of Scandinavias education?ALoads of homework BStrict examinationsCNo national curriculum DNecessary financial resourcesDDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains. Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people. Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: The hand took hold of the ball), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball). Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动).Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps youll understand why.42. Mirror neurons can explain _.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late43.The underlined word triggered in the third paragraph probably means “_”. A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up44.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _. A. relate to human behavior and interaction B. control human physical actions and feelings C. result in bad behavior and social disorders D. determine our knowledge and language abilities45.What is the passage mainly about? A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons. C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.第二节语篇理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night.
