【题目】Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest cars.
In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings.
Finally, it just makes them greedier. "Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest," said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts (本能) and values in different ways.
【1】By saying "money is the root of all evil", the author wants to ________.
A. link wealth with bad behavior
B. draw readers' attention to the research
C. show how the saying proves the findings
D. defend rich people who do immoral things
【2】According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?
A. They welcome risks.
B. They have more desires.
C. They believe money talks.
D. They become more selfish.
【3】Why did the scientists do the experiments?
A. To show how social status affects people's morality.
B. To show people's instincts and values in different ways.
C. To test whether the saying "money is the root of all evil" is true.
D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.
【4】What does the passage really want to show us?
A. The poor are respectable.
B. Money is the root of all evil.
C. All rich people are untrustworthy.
D. The rich are more likely to act badly.

【题目】In a study published in the U. S. journal Science, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences(CAAS) and the University of Florida identified the chemical combinations and genetic recipe for better tomato flavor(味道).
“In recent years, consumers often complain that the modern tomato is less flavorful than it once was” said co-principal researcher Sanwen Huang. “Our results provide a practical road map for breeding tomato varieties with better flavor.”
For the study, a 170-person consumer group was created to evaluate 160 tomatoes representing 101 varieties, based on qualities such as “overall liking” and “flavor degree”. The results pointed to dozens of chemical compounds of interest, and further research using a statistical model discovered 33 flavor compounds connected with consumer liking, such as glucose(葡萄糖). The reason why modern tomatoes don’t taste good anymore is that a total of 13 of these flavor-associated compounds “were significantly reduced in modern varieties,” their paper wrote. Moreover, the researchers found that smaller fruit tended to have greater sugar content, suggesting that “selection for more sizable tomatoes has cost sweetness and flavor”.
Based on this knowledge, Huang and Professor Harry Klee of the University of Florida studied the whole genomes of 398 varieties of tomato, identifying about 250 positions of genes on a chromosome(染色体), which controlled tomato flavor.
“We’re just fixing what has been damaged over the last half century to push them back to where they were a century ago,” said Klee in a statement. “We can make the supermarket tomato taste noticeably better.” Klee said new tomato varieties with better flavor could be ready in three to four years. In addition, “the genes and pathways identified here in the tomato almost certainly point to pathways worth researching for improvement of flavor quality in other fruit crops,” they wrote.
【1】According to the text, the study ________.
A. was carried out just through a survey
B. was conducted by Chinese researchers themselves
C. was completely focused on the genes of different tomatoes
D. was done with the background of declining flavor of tomatoes
【2】The researchers have found that ________ in the study.
A. bigger tomatoes are much sweeter
B. some genetic positions affect the taste of tomatoes
C. some chemical compounds make tomatoes less tasty
D. a total of 13 flavor-associated compounds make tomatoes appealing in taste
【3】What is the influence of the study according to the text?
A. The study lays the foundation for further researches to improve other fruit crops’ flavor.
B. The study makes it possible for us to have noticeably more tasty tomatoes next year.
C. The study provides a road for where to plant tomatoes with better flavor.
D. The study has fixed all the genes of existing tomatoes.

This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People 【6】 (obvious) have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees,【7】 we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their 【8】 (medicine) value. It is extremely likely 【9】 our best chance to cure diseases 【10】 (lie) somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.

【题目】The world seems gloomy(阴沉的)and gray when you’re feeling blue. In fact, being down might even affect how you perceive(感知)the color blue. A recent study about color was published in the journal Psychological Science. It shows a direct connection between a person’s ability to perceive color and their emotions.
Psychologists have long known that emotions can affect the way people perceive things. That’s in part because chemicals from your brain might affect how you process what you see. “Color is such an important part of our experience,” says lead author Christopher Thorstenson, a psychologist at the university of Rochester, in New York. There’s reason, he says, that sad people commonly describe the world as “colorless” and “gray”, and happy people use words like “bright” and “colorful”.
In the experiment, the researchers randomly assigned people to one of two groups. People in the “sadness” group watched a sad scene from The Lion King. Those in the “amusement’ group watched a comedy.
Everyone was then asked to look at red, yellow, green, and blue patches(斑点)that had been changed to a grayish color. “Some of the patches are pretty difficulty to make out,” Thorstenson admits he says it takes some time to figure out their shade. People were scored on how accurate their color perception was. Then they completed an emotional evaluation.
The result? Sad people had a hard time seeing the difference between shades along the blue-yellow color axis(色轴). But they did no have problems seeing colors in the red-green spectrum(光谱). Thorstenson says this could be the result of an evolutionary need to see red as a response to anger.
Thorstenson says these results highlight the possible important of dopamine in sight. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals to the brain. Researchers are hoping to focus more on dopamine in the future. “We know dopamine affects how we see colors, too,” Thorstenson says “How we feel can really influence how we see the world around us” he says.
【1】According to paragraph 2, how people describe the world reflects ________.
A. how they feel B. how they think
C. their world view D. their language skills
【2】In the experiment, the participants were asked to watch different programs so as to __________.
A. check their feelings B. influence their moods
C. develop their interests D. test their personalities
【3】Why were the patches made grayish in the experiment?
A. To make them look prettier
B. To make them hard to recognize
C. Because it changed the participants’ attitudes
D. Because it was good for the participants’ eyes
【4】Which color is easier to recognize for sad people?
A. Blue B. Yellow
C. Red D. Gray
