s strong evidence that memory connects a language with the experiences and interactions through which that language was learned. For example, people who are bilingual (雙語的) are more likely to recall an experience if reminded in the language in which that event occurred. Our childhood languages, learned in the middle of passionate emotion, bee filled with deep feeling. By parison, languages acquired late in life, especially if they are。 An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are filled with greater emotions than are those learned in more academic settings. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that surface when we use a language learned in childhood. Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one? According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and peting ways of thinking173。volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the trolley problem: imagine that a runaway trolley is moving quickly toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can move the trolley to a different set of tracks, therefore sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch? Psychologists who study moral judgments have bee very interested in this question. The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.more confident in English, more relaxed in French, more emotional in Czech. Is it possible that, along with these differences, my moral pass (指南針) also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I39。 Like many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that I39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)第四段中的“But heat will disappear over time no matter how good the material around it is, so the team set up a chemical storage system that can keep the energy in a stable molecular configuration. ”但是熱量會隨著時間的推移而消失,不管周圍的物質(zhì)有多好,所以研究小組建立了一個化學儲存系統(tǒng),可以將能量保持在一個穩(wěn)定的分子結(jié)構(gòu)中)可推斷,這種分子結(jié)構(gòu)的優(yōu)勢是相對穩(wěn)定。故選A。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“thanks to a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat.

But those earlier efforts were designed to be used in liquid solutions and not able to make durable (耐用的) solidstate films. The new approach is the first based on a solidstate material, in this case a polymer, and the first based on inexpensive materials and widespread production technology.(1)What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? show the main idea of the passage. practice readers39。 s energy through a chemical reaction and releasing it later as heat. According to a team of researchers at MIT, both cases may be possible before long, thanks to a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat. This transparent polymer film could be applied to many different surfaces, such as window glass or clothing.Imagine your clothing could release enough heat to keep you warm and cozy, allowing you to stay fortable in a cooler room. Or, picture a car windshield that stores the sun39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。他說,微笑可能是幫助心臟的一種方式。 (4)考查主旨大意??芍?,Chockalingam博士認為微笑可以使我們放松,從而有利于我們的健康。s heart health.”如果我們微笑,我們就打破了壓力和健康之間的聯(lián)系。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解??芍?,當我們處于危險中時,壓力荷爾蒙可以幫助我們。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解??芍珻hockalingam博士認為微笑能使我們的身體產(chǎn)生有益的化學物質(zhì)。根據(jù)第二段中的“When we smile, the brain wiring changes.

He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish ... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs. It is not invasive like a surgical operation. It is free and it has no bad side effects. However, when we are stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are everpresent in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷爾蒙) including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body39。 Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy.
