【题目】 Six supporters of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), including one inside a cat costume and another dressed as a pig, marched on the sidewalk outside High School District 113 in Highland Park, Illinois, US. Their goal was to get the district to end animal dissection in science classes.
Animal dissection has always divided people: Is it right to dissect frogs, pigs or other animals in school science classes, particularly when computers can show detailed images of the parts of animals?
“Especially with all the violence in the US, it is important we teach children compassion for all living beings, said Mysti Lee, assistant campaign manager for PETA.
The American Anti-Vivisection Society reports that 18 states, including Illinois, have laws allowing students to choose alternatives to dissection. And in recent years, biology classes have moved toward the study of cells, molecules and genetics. “Dissection is horrific and unnecessary,” protester Victor Przysiezny said.
However, most biology teachers believe that dissection is an important part of education when done right. “It’s one thing to see it on a computer screen,” said Jaclyn Reeves. “Its another to see the size and scale. Science is about getting your hands dirty.” She added that dissection can inspire students to take up a career in biology or put them off.
At its recent protest in Highland Park, PET A singled out Bio Corp., a company that provides frogs, pigs, turtles, rabbits, cats and other animals and their parts for educational purposes. Following the charges of animal cruelty, Bill Wadd, co-owner of Bio Corp., invited city officials to tour Bio Corp. He said that more than 98 percent of the animals Bio Corp received last year were already dead. “We just take what people would throw away,” Wadd said. “Instead of throwing it in the trash, why not have students learn from it?”
District 113 spokeswoman Christine Gonzales said that district officials would think about using computer images in class instead. “We are always looking for new and innovative methods, because we do want to ensure our kids get the best instruction and are kind to all creatures,” she said.
【1】Who opposes animal dissection?
A.Illinois’ local residents.B.Victor Przysiezny.
C.Jaclyn Reeves.D.Bill Wadd.
【2】What does the underlined phrase in Pharaoh 5 mean?
A.Getting personally involved in a task.B.Becoming involved with something illegal.
C.Observing an operation on a computer screen.D.Making your hands unclean by hard work.
【3】What do we know about Bio Corp.?
A.It gets rid of dead animals as trash.B.It is a member company of PETA.
C.It gets along very well with local officials.D.It offers mostly dead animals for research.
【4】What is the attitude of District 113 to ending animal dissection?
A.Supportive.B.Cautious.
C.Disapproving.D.Doubtful.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】A
【3】D
【4】A
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章说明了善待动物组织的六名支持者在美国伊利诺斯州高地公园113高中区外的人行道上游行,其中一名身穿猫装,另一名装扮成猪。他们的目标是让学区在科学课上结束动物解剖。文章主要说明了不同的人和组织机构对于动物解剖的看法和态度。
【1】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Dissection is horrific and unnecessary,” protester Victor Przysiezny said.可知“解剖是可怕的,也没有必要,”抗议者Victor Przysiezny说。由此可知,Victor Przysiezny反对动物解剖。故选B。
【2】
词义猜测题。根据上文However, most biology teachers believe that dissection is an important part of education when done right. “It’s one thing to see it on a computer screen,” said Jaclyn Reeves.可知然而,大多数生物教师认为,如果做得好,解剖是教育的重要组成部分。“在电脑屏幕上看到它是一回事,”Jaclyn Reeves说。由此可知,Jaclyn Reeves认为科学要进行实际的操作,要亲自参与其中。划线短语“getting your hands dirty”意思为“亲自参与一项任务”。故选A。
【3】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Following the charges of animal cruelty, Bill Wadd, co-owner of Bio Corp., invited city officials to tour Bio Corp. He said that more than 98 percent of the animals Bio Corp received last year were already dead. “We just take what people would throw away,” Wadd said. “Instead of throwing it in the trash, why not have students learn from it?”可知在受到虐待动物的指控后,Bio公司的合伙人Bill Wadd邀请市政府官员参观Bio公司。他说,Bio公司去年接收的动物中超过98%已经死亡。“我们只接受人们扔掉的东西,”瓦德说。“与其把它扔进垃圾桶,为什么不让学生们从中学习呢?”由此可知,Bio公司提供的大多是死去的动物。故选D。
【4】
推理判断题。根据最后一段District 113 spokeswoman Christine Gonzales said that district officials would think about using computer images in class instead. “We are always looking for new and innovative methods, because we do want to ensure our kids get the best instruction and are kind to all creatures,” she said.可知District 113发言人Christine Gonzales说,地区官员将考虑在课堂上使用电脑图像。她说:“我们一直在寻找新的和创新的方法,因为我们确实想确保我们的孩子得到最好的指导,并善待所有的生物。”由此可推知,District 113对结束动物解剖的态度是支持的。故选A。

How to raise a sweet boy in an era of anger
Hours after I gave birth to my first child,my husband held our five-pound boy in his arms and said,gently,"Hi,Sweet pea."Not“"Buddy”or"Little Man."Sweet pea.The word filled me with unexpected comfort.Like most parents,we knew what we'd name our son but never discussed how we'd speak to him.I was witnessing my husband's commitment to raising a sweet boy.
Because this is what the world needs now,urgently:sweet boys and people who grow them.
There are so many angry men among us.There are angry women,too,but they're only beginning to claim this emotion that has long been denied them.Women 's public anger is the kind of anger that gives girls voices,such as MeToo.But men 's anger tries to shut down the voices of others.Today's angriest women encourage people to solve a problem;today's angriest men murder.
A man uses his car to murder an anti-Nazi protester.A man shoots a congressman at his baseball practice.A man commits mass murder at a Vegas concert.A man kills a large number of worshipers in their church...
The world has turned so upside down that it is impossible for a man to display his vulnerability(脆弱)。Walk into any baby store,and you can see clothes for newborns declare, "TOUGH LIKE DADDY”"。They don't receive explicit encouragement to fully access their emotions.Boys have always known they could do anything;all they had to do was look around at their presidents,religious leaders,professional athletes,at the statues that stand erect in big cities and small.Girls have always known they were allowed to feel anything- except anger.Now girls,led by women,are being told they can own righteous anger.Now they can feel what they want and be what they want.
What about boys?The boy taught from infancy to be tough still seems emotionally doomed.It's time to change.
We don't need to raise kids with gender neutrality or deny natural differences between boys and girls.We do need to recognize that children,regardless of gender,have natural sweetness that we,as a society,would do well to develop and preserve.
Sweet boys grow up to be men who recognize the strength in being vulnerable and sympathetic.Sweet boys are children who've been given,by their parents and wider society, the permission to feel everything and to express those emotions without shame.
At a young age,this should be done explicitly,in organized discussions at school.It must be done all the time in our family homes.Parents must invite their sons to be sad, afraid,hurt,silly and affectionate,and must embrace them as often as they hug and kiss their daughters.Sweet boys learn early on that they can defend themselves against loneliness by reaching out and asking for support rather than turning into people who, literally,grab for power.Sweet boys evolve into open-hearted men who aren't confused about consent and sexual boundaries,because they experience women as equals.Boys will not be merely boys.If we let them,boys will be human.
