10、tudy a skin disease that was killing thousands of people in the South. The disease was pellagra(糙皮病).Goldberger travelled to the state of Mississippi where many people suffered from pellagra. He studied the victims and their families. Most of the people lived a hard life. The doctor came to believe
11、that the disease didnt pass on from one to another, but was instead related to food. He received permission from the state governor to test this idea at a prison. Prisoners were offered pardons if they took part. One group of prisoners received their usual foods, mostly corn products. A second group
12、 ate meat, fresh vegetables and drank milk. Members of the first group developed pellagra. The second group did not.But some medical researchers refused to accept Goldbergers idea. For the South, pellagra was more than simply a medical problem. There were other things, including Southern pride.So Go
13、ldberger had himself injected(注射) with blood from a person with pellagra. An assistant also took part in the experiment. So did Goldbergers wife.

Stubborn and enthusiastic.CFor decades, wealthy nations have transported plastic waste, and the environmental problems that go with
17、it, to poorer countries, but researchers have found a potential bright side of this seemingly unequal trade.In a study, researchers analyzed 11 years of data on the global plastics trade against economic measures for 85 countries. They found that the import of plastic waste was associated with growt
18、h in GDP in the low-income countries. They stressed that plastic waste is still a big problem, especially for developing countries, as the majority of it doesnt get recycled and even plastics that are recycled still finally negatively affect the environment.For the study, researchers analyzed data f
19、rom the United Nations and the World Bank looking at several economic variables as well as trade information on common plastic waste. While they found an association between economic benefits and plastic waste imports in the low-income countries, for the high-income countries there was no associatio
20、n between importing waste and economic growth.While the study didnt assess exactly how the plastic waste was made use of in the developing countries, the authors note that its likely theyre recycling some of the plastic for use in industry. There was also some evidence that the low-income countries
21、were trading the plastic waste among themselves regionally.The researchers stressed that there is much complexity in global trading of plastic waste. In the future, they plan to investigate the regional trade among countries as well as changes in more recent years. Even with the economic benefits of
22、 importing plastic waste, reducing environmental harm from plastics would still likely require changes from both high-income countries and low-income countries.“Some people might argue that developed countries need to create more ways to better process plastic waste at home, instead of looking for o
23、ther destinations for plastic waste abroad,” one of the researchers said. “Some communities in the United States may do well in recycling plastic waste, but in others, there is still room for improvement. Producing and using less plastic would be another way to reduce environmental harm.”8How does m

27、portant Role in the Global TradeCPlastic Waste Has Some Economic Benefits for Developing CountriesDDeveloped Countries Shift Environmental Harm by Exporting Plastic WasteDYour Weak-Tie Friendships MatterFor nearly ten years, I have spent my Monday evenings attending rehearsals for my amateur choir (
28、合唱队). Mondays are not my favorite day, and I often arrive in a bad mood, but by the end of the rehearsal, I usually feel energized. The singing does me good. So do the people. With a few exceptions, I would not describe my fellow choir members as close friends. We exchange brief chats, smiles and jo
29、kes but that is enough for me to come away feeling a little better about the world. There is no choir practice now, and wont be for a long time. I miss it. In lockdown, I do not feel short on emotional support, but I do feel short of friendly faces and casual conversations. Another way of putting th
30、is is that I miss my “weak ties.” In 1973, Mark Granovetter, a sociology professor at Stanford University, published a paper entitled “The Strength of Weak Ties.” Until then, scholars had assumed that an individuals well-being depended mainly on the quality of their relationships with their close fr
31、iends and family. Granovetter showed that quantity mattered, too. He categorized a persons social world as “strong ties” and “weak ties.” His central insight was that for new ideas, weak ties are more important to us than strong ones. As Granovetter pointed out, the people whom we often talk to swim
32、 in the same pool of information as we do. We depend on acquaintances(相识的人) whom we see infrequently to bring us news of opportunities. This was the idea behind the Pixar building, the design of which was overseen by Steve Jobs. The building has a large central hall through which employees from diff
33、erent departments have to pass several times a day. Jobs wanted colleagues to bump into each other and shoot the breeze (闲聊). He believed in the power of these seemingly random conversations to fire up creativity. Encounters with weak ties can be good for our mental well-being, too. Gillian Sandstro
34、m, a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Essex, investigated the extent to which people get happiness from weak-tie relationships. She found that on days when a person had a greater number of casual interactions with weak ties say, a local barista (咖啡师), a neighbor, a member of yoga c
35、lass they experienced more happiness and a greater sense of belonging. For these reasons, we should continue to find ways to cultivate weak-tie relationships, during lockdown and beyond. Sandstrom adds that we can also engage in more weak-tie-style interactions with our strong ties. The goal is to l
36、et others know that you are thinking of them without asking for a great deal of time, energy or attention. 12. What can we learn about the author from the article? A. She has been a keen singer from an early age. B. She finds her Monday workdays quite difficult. C. She barely knows most of her fello
37、w choir members. D. She has trouble maintaining friendships during lockdown. 13. According to Mark Granovetter, its less likely for you to get new ideas from your “strong ties” mainly because you tend to _. A. have the same concernsB. avoid conflicts of interestsC. see each other too frequentlyD. be
38、 exposed to similar facts and ideas14. What is the function of the central hall in Pixar building?A.It helps staff build friendship.B.It allows staff to have a break.C.It encourage staff to meet and chat.D.It helps Jobs communicate with staff.15.What does Sandstrom want to convey in the last paragra
39、ph?A. We can develop weak ties into strong ties.B. We should spend more time with strong ties.C. We should balance weak ties with strong ties.D. We can apply casual interactions to strong ties.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。Everyone may have a good understanding of sle
