A

Last year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight of governmentfunded primate research. Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in biomedicine （they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological diseases such as Parkinsons， for example）， researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end， the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to discuss the future of primatebased research—and they agreed that data sharing is the way forward.

Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions， says David OConnor， a pathologist at the University of WisconsinMadison. OConnor is walking the walk： his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates， and he immediately posts all the results online. The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue burden on research primates. The Seattlebased Allen Institute for Brain Science， which uses rhesus macaques， small South Asian monkeys， to study the molecular basis of brain development， also makes all results public. OConnor says this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as few animals as necessary.” Still， he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in “normative behavior”—sciences strong culture of secrecy， in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peerreviewed journal. One step toward full transparency is to follow the lead of human clinical trials， says Christine Grady， a bioethicist at the NIH. U.S. law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public， even if a study fails or is inconclusive. This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its results—a move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood， director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center， also says data sharing is “the way of the future.” Her center hosts 4，800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She currently contributes results from her center to OConnors Web site. “I dont see a drawback，” she says. “We have to share data more quickly.”

36. According to OConnor， what might prevent scientists from sharing their data？

A. The deeprooted culture that data should be kept secret until published.

B. The fact that scientists are reluctant to change their way of research.

C. The requirement that most clinical trials should be registered online.

D. The fear that they will be laughed at if a study fails or is inconclusive.

37. What could be the best title for the passage？

A. The Merciless Practice of Primate Research

B. To Treat Primates More Humanely： Transparency

C. To Abandon Experiments on Primates： Final Goal

D. The Burden of Research on Nonhuman Primates

The highest beef prices in almost three decades have arrived just before the start of the hot season， causing a great shock to both consumers and restaurant owners—and relief isnt likely anytime soon. A decreasing number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average price of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February， up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.

Everything thats produced is being consumed， said Kevin Good， an analyst at CattleFax， a Coloradobased information group. Prices will likely stay high for a couple of years as cattle producers start to rebuild their cattle among big questions about whether the Southwest and parts of the Midwest will see enough rain to water the grass.

“I quit buying steaks a while ago when the price went up，” said 59yearold Len Markham， who works at Texas Tech. She says she limits red meat purchases to hamburger， choosing chicken， pork and fish instead.

Restaurant owners， too， must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens， owner of the 50 Yard Line Steakhouse in Lubbock， raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November. Since then， the owner of the small eating house has tried to make cuts elsewhere to avoid passing it on to customers. “It really puts more pressure on the small guys，” he said of nonchain restaurants. “I just think you have to stay competitive and keep your costs low.”

“Whitetablecloth restaurants have adjusted the size of their steaks， making them thinner”， says Jim Robb， director of the Coloradobased Livestock Marketing Information Center. “And fastfood restaurants are cutting costs by reducing the number of menu items and are offering other meat options， including turkey burgers，” Robb said. “Chain restaurants also try to buy beef as much as they can， which essentially gives them a discount，” Iowa State University assistant economics professor Lee Schulz said.

The high prices are welcome news for at least one group： ranchers（大農场经营者）， especially those in Texas who for years have struggled amid drought（干旱） and high feed prices. But even as ranchers breathe a sigh of relief， some worry lasting high prices will cause consumers to permanently change their buying habits—switching to chicken or pork. Pete Bonds， a 62yearold Texas rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association， said thats a big concern. “But such fears may be unfounded，” Robb said. “Three years ago， economists thought consumers would start finding substitutions for beef as the drought spread. Were surprised we havent seen more of that，” he said.

South Dakota rancher Chuck OConnor thinks that consumers wont abandon beef for good. “Im sure some are maybe going to cut back some， but to say that people arent going to buy it anymore， I dont think thats going to happen，” he said， adding， “I hope not.”

38. The price of beef has increased because.

A. there is a growing demand of fresh beef among Americans

B. cattle producers have succeeded in raising a new type of cattle

C. there is a lack of rain and the export of beef is increasing

D. ranchers have found ways to deal with high feed prices

39. Which method is NOT used by restaurant owners to deal with the high beef prices？

A. They have made the steaks smaller than before.

B. They have increased the prices of beefrelated dishes.

C. They have made hamburgers with many other kinds of meat.

D. They have sought discount by purchasing large amounts of beef.

40. Jim Robb gives an example in the sixth paragraph in order to .

A. tell people that it is a tough job to look for substitutions for beef

B. show his fear that chicken or pork may be an alternative to beef

C. explain that customers wont change their buying habits completely

D. indicate that ranchers may be least affected by the high beef prices

C

Your New Years plan to move more is one of the toughest to stick to， and a group of scientists working with obese（过度肥胖的）mice think theyre starting to understand why.

Rather than our sedentary（久坐的）lives causing weight gain， says Alexxai Kravtiz， the National Institutes of Health neuroscientist who led the study， changes in brain chemistry after we start gaining weight affect our capacity to move.

“Obses mice can move just fine，” says Kravitz， who published the work with his team in Cell Metabolism “They just dont.”

What Kravitzs team found is that the activity of a particular dopamine（多巴胺）receptor linked to movement goes down as mice gain weight on a highfat diet. So the mice slow down and they move less. And when the researchers restored the activity of that dopamine receptor—DR2—the mice started moving more， even though they were still obese. The team also saw that lean mice missing the DR2 receptor acted like obese mice. This is the target， says Kravitz—restoring that dopamine receptor function. “Maybe 20 or 30 years down the road， we could do that in people，” he says.

And there is one more thing： The scientists fed normal mice and the mice lacking DR2 the same highfat diet. Both sets of mice gained weight at the same rate.

Kravitz says this is important because mice lacking DR2 move less from the getgo， whereas a normal mouse takes a little time to start seeing that dopamine receptorrelated loss of exercise. The ability to exercise seems to be disconnected from weight gain， he says.

“Exercise is a healthy thing to do， but its impact on weight loss has been exaggerated，” he says. “We have to be realistic about the size of the effect of exercise on weight， as opposed to health benefits.”

Still， before you abandon your New Years exercise plan， keep in mind that this study was done using a highfat diet， and not the normal calorie restriction that people maintain when they diet.

“Thats a big drawback to the work，” says Vicki VieiraPotter， a University of Missouri physiologist not involved in the study.

“They feed the mice with highfat diet， it damages the receptor， and that decreases activity. Those who plan to lose weight should remember highfat diet is a nice way to cause obesity in the lab， but its not the same as the normal situation of obesity，” she says.

She also says that a lot of the weight gain in the mice came after they stopped moving around， which indicates that the loss of movement did impact obesity.

41. Alexxai Kravitz is likely to agree that.

A. highfat food leads to the lack of DR2

B. less movement results from weight gain

C. the lack of DR2 results in less movement

D. weight gain leads to the inactivity of DR2

42. What can we infer from the research mentioned in the passage？

A. Highfat diet is bound to cause obesity.

B. The research team aim to deal with human obesity.

C. Highfat diet has little influence on the rate of weight gain.

D. Obese mices ability to move is affected by the inactivity of DR2.

43. The underlined word “exaggerated” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by “”.

A. underestimatedB. excluded

C. overlookedD. overemphasized

44. According to Vicki VieiraPotter， .

A. besides diet， other factors behind obesity shouldnt be ignored in daily life

B. the total loss of movement can do harm to the function of DR2

C. Alexxai Kravitzs team misread the results of the research

D. obesity is mainly caused by highfat diet people take

When Charles Lee handed me the small red notebook in 1974， he changed my life. “While you are traveling， you should keep notes of things you see and do，” he explained.

I was 20 years old， a junior in college， spending a term at the University of London. Charles was a retired traveling salesman. I was staying with him in his cottage in Kendal， located in the Lake District of northern England. It was a oneweek homestay the university arranged for us before classes began.

I took his advice. I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay. Back in London， I recorded weekend trips to Wales， Yorkshire， France， and Spain. I commented on my classes， professors， and classmates. I contrasted my life at a small college in the US with my wandering through the streets of London， my introduction to life in a big city， and my initial travels outside the US. I tracked ideas I had about my life and my future.

When I wrote in the notebook， I struggled with a sense of my audience and purpose. Who would read this？ Were these writings just for me， or did I want others to read them？ Was I recording events and ideas just as a prompt（提示）to memory， or was there some larger purpose for this daily exercise？

I knew I was recording events， thoughts， words that were important to my life. I imagined a future me sitting down to read the pages. I wondered what it would feel like to read those words later. I wondered where I would be and what my life would be like.

I filled the notebook Charles gave me. I bought a new one and filled it. Then another and another. I continued writing in notebooks for four decades. By that time， they filled two boxes in my garage.

I had reread some of the journals. Specific volumes had provided me with the background I needed for dozens of articles for magazines. But I had never read them all. Recently， I decided to bring my collection of notebooks into my office and replay my life. As I opened the first box， I suddenly became nervous. Would I like the former me described on those pages？ There was a risk in opening that first notebook. I did it anyway.

Charles had been right. I remembered the big events and the central happenings， but on each page were many details I hadnt retained（保留）.

The pages revealed highlights from college classes and stories about roommates and friends. I read anxious comments Id written as Id launched my teaching career， learned to write lesson plans， assigned grades for student work， and solved discipline problems. I reflected on my coming marriage， then the wedding， and eventually the proud moments when I held each of my three girls as a father. I recounted more trips—returning to Europe， teaching in South America， going on safari（游獵）in Africa， and exploring Greenland. I relived memories of trails hit， rivers crossed， and mountains climbed.

The writings in those journals framed my life. I hadnt written every day. I often skipped a few days or even weeks， but I always picked up the writing when it felt important. Journals was with me when I traveled， and I often wrote in them at school when my own students were writing.

It took several long evenings to read through the notebooks， taking me on tour spanning（持续）42 years. As I read I could recall sitting on a bench in Trafalgar Square in London or in our apartment in Peru to write to the future me. It was then that I realized： I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.

45. What can we learn about Charles Lee？

A. He was an Englishman the author came across.

B. He gave the author a notebook as birthday present.

C. The author gained valuable experience of life from him.

D. The author once lived in his house as a college graduate.

46. One reason why the author kept writing journals was that he wanted to .

A. let others read what he wrote in the future

B. live up to Charles Lees expectation for him

C. know what his life would be like in the future

D. leave something special to his three daughters

47. How did the author feel when he opened the first box filled with his journals？

A. Curious.B. Worried.

C. Surprised.D. Disappointed.

48. By mentioning the highlights in Paragraph 9， the author intends to tell us .

A. the regrets he had about his life

B. the benefits of keeping journals

C. the big events that happened to him

D. the themes of his articles for magazines

49. We can learn from the passage that the author .

A. rarely wrote journals at school

B. keeps a daily journal of his life

C. even wrote journals when traveling

D. had kept writing journals for five decades

50. What would be the best title for the passage？

Are We More Narcissistic Than Ever Before？

Like the flower， narcissism has continued to flourish in modern civilization， which has become such a part of culture. But narcissism in psychology is more than a single question can capture， which really has three types of narcissism. Problems arise when people discuss narcissism without identifying the form.

Grandiose narcissism is the outgoing， extraverted form. The narcissistic individual believes he or she is smarter， better looking and more important than others. And， of course， he or she gets special treatment for this fact. In fact， some of them can be very charming， likable and enjoy people. On the opposite side， narcissistic relationships are often not very emotionally warm or caring.

Vulnerable narcissism is the second flavor of narcissism. It is harder to see than grandiose narcissism. Vulnerable narcissists think they have the right to get special treatment and greatness but actually have low selfconfidence and are not typically extroverted. Imagine someone living in his mums small room. He spends his evenings watching X Factor believing he should be the next famous star singing act. Unfortunately， he hasnt the confidence to do it and instead becomes a net citizen， who posts offensive， controversial， or divisive materials on an Internet community.

The third form of narcissism occurs when narcissism is extreme and causes clinically serious problems in a persons life—marriages fall apart， friends are lost， a career is over. When this occurs narcissism can be identified as a personality disorder—narcissistic personality disorder（also known as NPD）， containing a mix of both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism.

Can you change narcissism or NPD？ There is no simple answer to this. For grandiose narcissism， my usual formula is CPR， practice caring and compassion； do what you are passionate about rather than what gets you attention； and take responsible for your mistakes as well as successes. For vulnerable narcissism I would add to this list with practices that reduce depression and anxiety. Develop a sense of belonging or a friendship network； participate in physical exercise； or practice a form of emptying your mind of thoughts and feelings. For NPD， there is no single， scientifically affirmed treatment of choice. But pay attention to the following. First， people with NPD are often reluctant to enter treatment because in their mind they do not have a problem—everyone else does. Second， it is challenging for doctors to keep individuals with NPD in treatment.

Narcissism is increasing and while social media hasnt been proven to actually create narcissists， it does give them a new platform to gain attention and admiration. Still， I remain optimistic that people can change if they are motivated， have the right tools， and know what type of narcissism they are dealing with.

请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Her eyes glued （紧盯） to the screen of her smart phone， a 28yearold woman accidently fell into a river in Wenzhou， Zhejiang， and drowned on Dec 29， 2015. No one was around at that time.

A video posted later on the Internet revealed the incident， shocking people across the country. The video also highlighted the danger of smart phone addiction.

For years， authorities have been warning people not to use their mobile phones while theyre driving or crossing the road. Some local transportation authorities have also made laws clearly forbidding the use of phones while driving.

Regulations and official warnings are aimed at peoples safety and wellbeing， because research shows that using mobile phones while driving or crossing the road is dangerous； the brain needs time to switch from the virtual to the real world and during that time a serious accident can occur. Besides， the overuse of smart phones even in normal circumstances can lead to neck pain and poor eyesight.

五、One possible version：

A 28yearold woman accidently fell into a river and drowned due to her totally concentrating on her smart phone， whose death has made the danger of smart phone addiction a hot topic of discussion.

The incident shows that although the smart phone brings us convenience， it can do great harm to us if it is overused.

So how should we use our smart phones wisely？ Personally speaking， I think the key lies in our awareness of what to choose and what to give up. Its true that the smart phone makes our life more colorful. However， due to our limited time and energy， we should only choose whats the most valuable and use the smart phone at proper times. Moreover， overuse of smart phones should be avoided. After all， smart phones are only part of our lives. We neednt spend too much on time， nor should we pay too much attention to them. （150 words）
