It is one of the four main
10、Trobriand Islands with a total population of 12,000 native residents. Rich with culture, surrounded on all sides by clear blue water and abundant rainforest, Kitava is as apealing as it is remote. But it has more to offer than good views.As Byrdie reports, Kitava is also home to a people whose diet
11、and nutritional habits remain healthy, untouched by Western influence. A lifetime of not knowing the sweet, sweet sensation of the salt from a potato chip hitting the roof of your mouth has done more than just spare Kitavans from illnesses like diabetes and cardiovascular disease; its also given the
12、m a lifetime of smooth, acne(痤疮) - free skin.In a study of l,200 subjects - including 300 teens and young adults - conducted by a team led by medical doctor and professor Steffan Lindeberg over 843 days, not one breakout was reported.

Traffic Management in Big CitiesDOne of the strangest features of motherhood is that the vast majority of mothe
26、rs prefer to cradle their babies in the left arm. Why should this be? The obvious explanation is that the majority of mothers are right handed and they wish to keep their right handed and they wish to keep their right hand free. Unfortunately, this explanation cannot apply, because left-handed mothe
27、rs also favor their left arm for holding their babies. The precise figures arc 83 percent for right-handed mothers and 73 percent for left-handed mothers.The most likely explanation is that the mothers heart is on the left side and, by holding the baby in her left arm, she is unconsciously bringing
28、her baby closer to the sound of the heart-beat. This is the sound the baby heard when it was inside the mothers womb and which is therefore an association with peace, comfort and security.Tests were carried out in nurseries where some babies were played the recorded sound of a human heart beat, and,
29、 sure enough, went to sleep twice as quickly as the others. We also know that the sound of mothers heart is quite audible inside the womb and that the unborn baby has a well-developed hearing.It is interesting that fathers show less of this left-side bias (偏爱) than mothers, suggesting that the human
30、 female is better programmed than her partner for carrying a baby. Alternatively，she may unconsciously adjust her holding behavior to make baby fell more secure. Some new observations on our closest animals relatives, the chimpanzees and gorillas, have revealed that they too show a strong bias for h
31、olding their babies on the left side. The precise figures were 84 percent for chimpanzees and 82 percent for gorillas, remarkably close to the human percentages.Recently a possible additional value in cradling babies on the left side has been suggested. It has been pointed out that, because, the two
32、 sides of the brain are concerned with different aspects of behavior, it is possible that the mother, in cradling the baby to her left, is showing the baby her “best side”. It is claimed that the emotions are expressed more strongly on the left side of the human face and that she therefore gives the
33、 baby a better chance to read her emotional mood changes as it gazes up at her. Furthermore, the mothers left eye and ear are more tuned into emotional changes in her baby than her right eye and ear would be. So in addition to the babys seeing the more expressive parts of its mother, there is furthe
34、r advantage that the mother is herself more sensitive to the left-held baby. This may sound far-fetched, but just possibly, it could provide a slight extra benefit for those mothers displaying the strange one-sided bias when cradling their infants.How does a bias occur? Do the mothers have an instin
35、ctive preference for it, or do they learn it by trial and error, unconsciously adjusting the position of the babies until the babies are calmer? The surprising answer is that it seems to be the baby not the mother who controls the bias. Observation of new born infants when they were only a few hours
36、 old revealed that they come into the world with a pre-programmed tendency to turn their head to the right. If the new born baby is gently held in a dead central position and then released, it naturally swings to the right far more often than to the left. This happens in nearly 70 percent of babies.
37、 This may be only a part of explanation, because the holding bias is 80 percent not 70 percent, but it adds a further intriguing chapter to the story.12How does the author develop Paragraph 1?A. By giving an example as a hook.B. By giving a general statement and narrowing it down.C. By asking a ques

Holding her baby in the left arm may improve a mothers emotional communication with it.15What is the authors tone when he disc

Favorable.二、完形填空When our second child was born, the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward. “Left uncorrected, it would be a _,” he told us.We _to do anything we could do help our b

62、ken off in China far faster than in any other market. The market has become flooded with new companies in recent months. The bike-sharing companies operate in a similar way. They use apps that allow users, after paying a deposit, to unlock the wheels with their smartphones. After the journey, users
63、can leave bikes anywhere in public and pay a little money for the use. The service is very popular as it provides an effective solution to “the last kilometer” problem.The promoting of the bike-sharing service is also raising questions about profitability, wide-spread bike vandalism (破坏) and theft,
64、and growing government regulation.

66、7popularity48Although /Though/ While49to enjoy50being asked5152Possible version oneThe passage conveys to us the bike-sharing boom across the country, with more companies springing up in the market. The service not only brings great convenience to people, but causes some problems as well.From my sta
67、ndpoint, bike-sharing system has become an essential part of public transportation in cities and should be actively promoted. Firstly, with an increasing number of people choosing the service to get around, the number of cars on the roads will decrease dramatically, which really helps the environmen
68、t and reduces traffic jams. Furthermore, this service also benefits individuals in various ways. For example, it provides locals and tourists with a convenient, cheap and healthy means of transport. Those who would otherwise use their own bicycles dont need to be concerned about such problems as the
69、ft, storage and maintenance.In a word, bike sharing is an innovative service, which relieves urban traffic pressure and brings citizens enormous benefits. And more shared bikes should be launched into the market. (163 words)Possible version twoThe passage conveys to us the bike-sharing boom across t
70、he country, with more companies springing up in the market. The service not only brings great convenience to people, but causes some problems as well.In my opinion, bike-sharing should not be promoted at present for the following reasons. In order to attract more subscribers, the bike-sharing compan
71、ies are flooding walkways and other public spaces with hundreds of bikes in the hope of promoting their services, which brings great inconvenience to pedestrians. Furthermore, for lack of relevant regulations, some uncivilized people deliberately damage shared-bikes, for example, by throwing them in
72、to rivers or piling them up randomly. A fairly high deposit fee has also been criticized in a country familiar with accessing inexpensive public services.In conclusion, bike-sharing system shouldnt be promoted before regulations and policies are put in place. The government, companies and users should all play their role in making bike-sharing sustainable and enjoyable. (156 words)
