One such experiment took place in South Amer
23、ica about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that countrys bees. He
24、 imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientists name, had a total success on his
25、hands.Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living pla
26、ces.But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (叮), began to attack its neighbors-cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings
27、.This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it loo
28、ks as if nothing can be done to stop them.28. The results of the South American experiment . A. have caused a serious troubleB. have proved to be wrong C. are not importantD. are not yet certain29. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to .

A. Their production of honey.B. Their hard work. C. Their bad temper.D. Their living environment.31. The
30、 last paragraph implies that . A. the bees may bring about trouble in more countries B. the bees have been driven to Central and North America C. the bees must be stopped from moving northD. the bees prefer to live in BrazilDMoral (道德的）science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little e
31、ffect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined
32、 in a textbook.I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a
33、 participatory (参与其中的) approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms (规范) and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the present time.The b
34、est way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching peo
35、ple around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correc
36、t values and reward good behavior.32. Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?A. Morality cant be written down textbooks.B. Morality is more like a social phenomenon.C. Different generations have different moral ideas.D. Morality doesnt strictly belong
37、to a science.33. The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to .A. explain telling lies is not moral for little children.B. prove moral lessons in schools have little effect.C. show he has no opinions about moral science.D. advise people should be rewarded for their goo
38、dness.34. When you tell a child about morals, you should .A. say that the present morals are likely to be changed.B. teach him to share personal moral ideas with others.C. explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas.D. tell him about social norms and cultural differences.35. What is the last p
39、aragraph mainly about?A. The best way of teaching children about morals.B. The value of teachers setting a good example.C. The influence of peoples behavior on morals.D. The importance of rewarding good behavior.第二节 (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。Have you ever noticed tha
40、t the more you have the more you want? Lets face it. Thinking our life is good enough doesnt come naturally to many people. When we have high expectations of everything in life, we will run into disappointment. Only when we are aware (意识到) that needs are different from desires can we live with satis

Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be. Write down five things you are grateful for right now.When we hold onto regrets from decision
42、s we have made, it can really poison our well-being (健康、幸福). Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. 38 , so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment (满足感)
43、.When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life, we are likely to be less satisfied. Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others, but they also hold our perspective (角度、观点) in a discontented position. 39 .When you f
44、ocus on your big ambitions and future goals, you might neglect the daily pleasures that surround you. 40 . Stay present and focus on the task youre undertaking at the moment.
