Some of the malls remained open around the clock, partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts. Beh
19、ind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring, being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives. However, to use a wellworn play on words: it is our presence, not our presents, that truly counts. Many of us, unfortunately, can be so inattentive, even in the
20、presence of our loved ones, that we might as well not be there at all.Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time. Whole industriesmedia, entertainment, edu
21、cationrely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence. A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy. In earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated(没人管的)without major cause for concern. There were natural checks and
22、balances: limited availability of food meant few got fat, for example. Similarly, in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller, today，watching an entire TV series, while speaking to nobody, is common. In traditional societies, with smaller population, ev
23、eryone would get a fair deal of attention. On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa; now we have Google and Wikipedia.“She just wants attention.” people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention. But the truth is that human beings need attention, and giving attentio
24、n to each other is, to a large extent, what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps explains the runaway success(一举成功)of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. While we use such sites for “micro blogging”， “idea voicing” and “status updates” the reality is that we are often doi
25、ng no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange. I friend you, you friend me, I retweet you, you retweet me. The charming case with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smartphones. It is also a vicious(恶性)circle.
26、As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, or else risk attentionstarvation.The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and ther
27、e is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible; heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The con
28、sequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social, and so may take longer to identify, but they will be equally damaging.Facetoface attention is becoming rarer, and therefore more valuable. In a sense it is priceless. And it is a gift that can be given allyearround. 3
29、6In the first two paragraphs the author_. Aoffers advice to attention givers Banalyses the present problems Cstates the necessity of presents Dputs forward his point of view37Attention exchange was not a major concern in traditional societies because of_. Alimited availability of food Bnatural check
30、s and balances Ca much smaller population Dthe guidance from old people38What can we infer from Paragraph 67? A.More people will risk attentionstarvation in future.B.The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed. C.Technological advancement contributes to all diseases.D.Transformed attention ex
31、changes do harm to society.39The writers purpose for writing the passage is to_.A.advocate more focus on real life attention B.analyze the necessity of attention giving C.give practical tips on attention exchange D.recommend some social networking sites BThe movies just wouldnt be the same without t
32、he warm buttery taste of popcorn. Amazingly, this delicious treat started its life as a corn kernel (玉米粒) , not just from any corn. Popcorn is a type of sweet corn that was originally grown in Mexico and spread to China, India and elsewhere. It is the only kind of corn that will pop. Today, most of
33、the worlds popcorn is grown in the United States. Every popcorn kernel contains a tiny drop of water，surrounded by soft starch (淀粉).When the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam. This puts pressure on the surrounding hard kernel, forcing it to explode. The soft starch increases about 40 tim
34、es in size as the corn kernel turns itself inside out. In the 1500s popcorn was an important food source for the Aztec Indians of central and southern Mexico.But it wasnt only food. It was also used in ceremonies or on red dresses and in necklaces. By the time the Europeans arrived in America，popcor
35、n had spread through most of the American Indians.Some early American settlers ate popcorn with cream and sugar for breakfast.But it wasnt until the late 1800s that popcorn became popular. The demand for popcorn increased and farmers began farming popcorn. The first mobile popping machine was invent
36、ed in 1885, and popcorn was sold by street sellers much like hot dogs that are sold today.During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the popcorn business still thrived as people could still afford it. Then in the 1950s television arrived and popcorn consumption decreased. People stayed home and stopp
37、ed going to the theatre. But thelink between movies and popcorn had already existed.Soon people began making popcorn at home on the stove and, later，microwave popcorn was introduced. Today the movies have regained popularity and popcorn has once again become the favorite.40Popcorn was first planted
38、in_. AChina BAmerica CIndia DMexico41Why does the corn kernel pop when heated?A. Because it is covered with soft starch. B.Because the pressure inside is too big. C.Because the starch becomes bigger in size. D. Because there is water inside the kernel. 42We can know from the passage that_. A. popcor
39、n began to be farmed in the late 1800s B. popcorn was only a kind of food in the 1500s C. hot dogs used to be sold by street sellers D. people stop eating popcorn while watching movies now 43The underlined word “thrived” in the fifth paragraph probably means“_”A. started to disappear B. was seriousl
40、y affectedC. suffered a lot D. developed very wellCDo lobsters, crabs (蟹) or other crustaceans (甲壳纲动物) feel pain? We certainly act as if they dont. Most chefs cook lobsters and crabs alive, usually by dumping them in boiling water, along with melted butter. Thats the appeal of crustaceans theres no
41、fresher food. We may feel a bit of guilt, or maybe just discomfort, when we hear the creatures rattling(发出咔嗒咔嗒的声音) around the inside of the pot as the water boils. But that feeling usually dissolves for lobster lovers by the time we crack open a claw and dig out the delicious meat. We wouldnt dream
42、of doing the same thing to a live chicken or pig which is dead well before the cooking process begins, but those crustaceans are different. They dont even feel pain.Right?Actually, they just might. Thats the conclusion of a new study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology.Robert W. Elwood
43、and Barry Magee of QueensUniversity in Belfast examined the reaction of common shore crabs to small electrical shocks. Ninety crabs were placed in a brightly lit area and were given the choice of moving to one of two dark shelters. (Shore crabs like to hide in dark, tight spaces. ) Once theyd made t
44、heir choice, the crabs in one of the shelters were exposed to an electric shock. After a rest period, the crabs were returned to the lit tank.Most of the crabs went back into the dark shelters, and then the same crabs were given another electric shock. When they were placed back into the lit tank fo
45、r the third time, the majority of the shocked crabs instead went to the other dark shelter, avoiding the one where they had repeatedly been shocked.As Elwood put it, the crabs choice indicated they wanted to escape the shocks: having experienced two rounds of shocks, the crabs learned to avoid the s
46、helter where they received the shock. They were willing to give up their hideaway in order to avoid the source of their probable pain.44According to the author, people cook the crab alive due to the belief that_. A. it is not guilty to treat a crab cruelly B. it is too hard to kill a crab C. a crab
47、doesnt feel pain as a chicken or a pig does D. the crab is a kind of popular and healthy seafood 45The underlined word “dissolves” in Paragraph I probably means“_”A. becomes weaker B. strengthens gradually C. comes into being D. remains unchanged 46In the experiment, the shore crabs_. A. were placed into two dark shelters B. were given electric shock
