Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical (不道德的) things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS, 美国国家科学院院刊 )They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest (不豪华的) cars. In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higherclass families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other peoples feelings.Finally, it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your selfinterest，” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.Piff pointed out that the findings dont mean that all rich people are untrustworthy (不能信赖的) or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.1By saying “money is the root of all evil”， the author wants to _.Adraw readers attention to the researchBlink wealth with bad behaviorCshow how the saying proves the findingsDdefend rich people who do unethical things2Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did, according to the scientist quoted?AMost wealthy people are not trustworthy.BThe findings were not persuasive enough and the scientists will do further

status affects peoples ethics.BTo show peoples instincts and values in different ways.CTo test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.DTo show the difference between higherclass

medicine药材medicinal materials人道的humaneRecently our class have had a heated discussion about whether the practice of extracting bear bile (活熊取胆) should be banned._答 案课时跟踪检测(十八).1.选D句意：“请稍候。有一个 打进来。”“你慢慢来。我不着急。”由“Im not in a hurry.(我不着急。)”可以看出，四个选项中只有“Take your time”符合语境。2选Aa sense of humor“幽默感”；a pleasure“一件让人感到愉快的事”。3选B考查非谓语动词。句意：看到寺院仍处于原始的状态，我们感到非常震惊。空格处为动词不定式作状语，表示原因，故选B项。4选C考查副词辨析。根据语意“这两个星期来我偶尔写写这个报告，但明天必须上交”可知， occasionally“偶尔；有时候”，符合语境。finally“最后”；immediately“立刻；马上”；certainly表示“确定；肯定”。5选B考查动词词义辨析。句意：海警们克服了强风、巨浪、寒冷的天气等困难，终于成功救起了32名海员。overcome“战胜；克服”，符合句意。confuse“使迷惑”；reduce“减少；减缩”；expand“使变大；伸展”。6选D句中home为名词，所以A、B项分别漏了介词to，C项漏了介词at，D项中reach为及物动词，直接跟名词作宾语，directly用作从属连词，相当于as soon as。7选C前后句子之间是因果关系，故选therefore (所以)。otherwise“否则；要不然”；besides“除此之外”；however“然而”。8选A根据发话者所说的Im afraid I cant recognize him及回应者所说的Dont worry 可知，应答者认为找到Barry很容易。pick out表示“挑出；辨别出”，符合语境。cut off“切断；断绝”；come across“(偶然)遇见；碰见”；care about“关心”，均不符合语境。9选A考查形容词词义辨析。句意：年轻人不满足于站在那儿看艺术品，他们需要能参与其中的艺术。be content to do sth.“满足于做某事”，符合句意。generous“慷慨的，大方的”；confident“有信心的”；conservative“保守的”。10选A考查动词辨析。句意：妈妈小声对我们说：“安静！你们的小妹妹正在睡觉。” whisper “低语；小声说”； shout “喊；大声叫；呼叫”； explain “解释”； reply “答复”。11选A考查动词短语辨析。句意：因为与外界隔绝多年这个年轻人甚至丧失了语言功能。cut off “隔绝”，符合句意。cut up “切碎”； cut in “插话”； cut down “削减；删节”。12选B现在分词作主语补足语。catch sb.doing sth.意为“发现某人正在做某事”。13选D考查短语辨析。由后句句意“你的意思是他比以前有所好转了”可知应选better off than .“比富有”；worse off than .“比更差”。14选C考查非谓语动词作结果状语。句意：他的新影片感动得所有的观众都流下了眼泪，这使人们想起了Spielberg的另一部战争片。主语his new movie与call sth. to mind (使想起某事)之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故排除A、D两项；B项作结果状语表示事与愿违或意外的结果，故被排除；现在分词作结果状语表示意料之内的结果，相当于and it called/which called。15选D考查动词时态。句意：截止到现在，希望工程已经帮助了成千上万的本来会辍学的学生。up to now常和现在完成时态连用。.语篇解读：金钱是万恶之源，相比穷人，富人更有可能撒谎和违规。1选A细节理解题。第一段作者以俗语“金钱是万恶之源”引出本文的话题，即科学家们做的这个实验：富人是否比穷人更有可能做不道德的事。 2选C细节理解题。由第三段的“drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks”可知，富人更有可能阻碍其他车辆或是行人，C项正确。A项的说法太绝对了，最后一段里Piff也指出这个实验并不能说明所有的富人都不可信。B项文章中没有提到。D项的说法正好跟实验得出的结论相反，所以也不对。 3选D细节理解题。由倒数第二、三段可知，有钱人总认为钱能帮他们摆脱困境，这使得他们不怕去冒险(但不能说他们喜欢去冒险，所以d不对)，他们也不那么关心别人的感受。同时，钱让他们变得更贪婪，甚至有时宁愿违反规定去满足自己的利益。注意c里的money talks指的是“有钱能使鬼推磨”。4选A细节理解题。由最后一段的“to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.”可知，实验的目的是显示不同社会阶层的人们表达他们的本能和价值观的不同方式。 5选B写作意图题。从第一段最后一句可知，新的研究表明，相比穷人，富人更有可能做诸如撒谎和违规等不道德的事情。.参考范文：Recently our class have had a heated discussion about whether the practice of extracting bear bile (活熊取胆) should be banned.Some students are in favor of the practice.Firstly, bear bile has long been considered to have magic effects in treating peoples illnesses and nothing can compare with it.Secondly, an advanced way to extract bear bile is being employed, with the bear feeling no pain or strange sensation during the process.Thirdly, as for Chinese medicine, it would be unimaginable without such a valuable raw material as bear bile.However, some others are against it, arguing that the effect of bear bile is not irreplaceable and it has been discovered that over 50 medicinal materials have similar effects.On the other hand, humane as the way adopted to extract bear bile seems to be, it cannot relieve the pain that the bear suffers.Besides, as a living creature, the bear deserves our protection and respect.In my opinion, we human beings shouldnt harm animals to achieve our own benefits.Instead, we should live in harmony with them.
