one of these, a quick, natural feeling, and the other, careful deliberation about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more careful way simply because the effort of operating in our nonnative language signals our cognitive (認(rèn)知的) system to prepare for difficult activity. Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one. In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa m using at the time?m a slightly different person in each of my languages173。8.閱讀理解 s rather lovely of them.

A.They have a strange flavor.C.s a characteristic of Bird Friendly coffees? A.Farmers have been aware of environment protection.D.One fourth of them have destroyed forest habitat for birds.B. Buying Bird Friendly supports the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center39。 Bird Friendly coffees are shadegrown, meaning the coffee is planted under trees, rather than on the land that has been cleared of all other plants. Coffee experts say shadegrown coffees taste better, because the beans ripen slower than coffee grown in the full sun, resulting in a richer, more plex flavor. Bird Friendly certified coffees grow under biodiverse shade that provides habitat for migratory songbirds and other wildlife, stores carbon and fights climate change. Bird Friendly coffees are also certified organic, meaning they are grown without pesticides, which is better for people and for the planet.

That39。s still some green and even blue light hidden in there, just far less than the other colors.”可知,選A。 (3)考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第二段中的“Daytime skies are blue because blue shorter wavelengths of visible light tend to bounce off (反 射)air molecules better than red longer wavelength light.”可知,白天天空是藍(lán)色,因?yàn)樗{(lán)色短的波長(zhǎng)的可見光會(huì)反射空氣分子比紅色的長(zhǎng)波長(zhǎng)光。s a mon piece of celestial (天上的)fortunetelling that green skies mean a tornado is on its way.”和最后一段中的“Still, none of the conditions that can turn skies green are unique to the clouds that produce tornadoes. Sometimes they just lead to lots of rain, and maybe some hail.”可知,本文主要話題是關(guān)注綠色的天空是否意味著即將來臨的龍卷風(fēng)展開的,故選B。 (1)考查主旨大意。There are only red and orange lights in the sunsets.D.Storm clouds are made of water droplets and green light.B.D.Blue light.B.The sunset.Because blue light is bounced all over the sky.D.Because only blue light can be bounced in the daytime.B.A Common Piece of Celestial FortunetellingD.Why Do the Central United States Get TornadoesB.t necessarily mean there39。 Big tall threatening storm clouds are made of water droplets, and even though water is best at reflecting blue light, it can still reflect green pretty well, much better than reds and oranges, so under just the right conditions, the water in and around a cloud can bounce the green light hidden in the sunset right into our eyes making the sky look green.s still some green and even blue light hidden in there, just far less than the other colors. But for us to notice the remaining green light, it needs to hit som
