Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity. The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans' essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.
The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a mode of social harmony?
From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged (不和的) 'accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.
As an important note, when we take a Classical philosophical perspective, that of Aristotle, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual appropriation in conflict situations, develops with practice.
(1)、What is Droll's idea about forgiveness?A、People should offer mercy to others. B、Aggressive people should learn to forgive. C、Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity. D、People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.(2)、What does the example in paragraph 2 illustrate?A、To forgive is to love. B、To dominate is to harm. C、To fight is to grow. D、To give is to receive.(3)、What is the writer's attitude toward forgiveness?A、Favorable. B、Reserved. C、Objective. D、Skeptical.(4)、What is message of the last paragraph?A、Forgiveness is in our nature. B、Forgiveness grows with time. C、It takes practice to forgive. D、Actuality is based on potentiality. -

Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.
Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).
Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb-the part of the brain that processes smell-is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.
Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.
The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.
(1)、What do we know about whales' nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?A、They are adapted ones. B、They are developed merely for smell. C、They are not easy to detect. D、They are fixed universally in numbers.(2)、What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?A、The teeth that baleen whales have. B、The smell that phytoplankton send. C、The sound waves that zooplankton create. D、The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.(3)、How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?A、By quoting a theory. B、By using examples. C、By making contrast. D、By making inferences.(4)、What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?A、The sense of smell. B、The possibility to attract food. C、The ability to locate food. D、The ability to communicate. -

Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible(可感知的;有形的) for you, I would like to give an example of what a child's education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with "Learning Hubs" that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive "teacher-citizen". Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve, and how does it transform our societies?
(1)、What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A、There are different types of education. B、The present education needs improvements. C、Education and economy are closely associated. D、The goal of future education is fundamentally different.(2)、What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?A、It accepts students of all ages. B、It promotes competition. C、It discourages individualized learning. D、It is all about play-based learning.(3)、What does the underlined word "mandatory" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Tough. B、Satisfactory. C、Optional. D、Required.(4)、What is the suitable title for the text?A、An Example to All B、A Vision for Education C、A Challenge for Education D、A Journey into the Future -

17、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry."
注意:
1)续写词数应为150个左右;
2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.

In many large cities, drivers can feel the lack of usual road signs. Such signs as "winding road" are quite rare. When (approach) a crossroads, drivers should always slow down.
Crossroads (equip) with traffic lights are another dangerous place. Do not start moving immediately after the green light appears.
Parking space should be selected with (careful). Drivers should also consider that parking (prevent) in the central part of some large cities.
Roads in the country are the most terrible roads for foreign drivers. In spite of the speed limit of 80 km/h, local drivers rarely move at speed below 120 km/h.

20、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A European street today may smell like coffee, fresh-baked bread and cigarettes. ? Historians and scientists across Europe have now gotten together with perfumers (香水制造者) and museums for a unique project called "Odeuropa"—to capture what Europe smelled like between the 16th and early 20th centuries.
To successfully finish this three-year-long project, the researchers need to find all the old scents of Europe-and even recreate some of this ancient smellscape. To do this, they will first build artificial intelligence that will be trained to scan historical texts, written in seven different languages, for any descriptions of smells. .
The "Encyclopedia (百科全书) of Smell Heritage" will include the meaning of certain scents and will trace the stories behind scents, places and olfactory (嗅觉的) practices. , enabling future generations to access and learn about the scented past.
, such as doctors. In the past, herbs were often used by European doctors to heal the sick. They smell special and their scents should be included in the encyclopedia. But just as history is filled with interesting and pleasant smells, it's also filled with stinky (非常难闻的) ones.
"I find it particularly interesting to make the audience know about a whole range of scents such as a stinky canal," said Caro Verbeek, a scent historian and member of the Odeuropa team. "It will make us more aware of how we relate to smell today and how differently smells were appreciated in the past. With current technology, almost every scent can be produced. . People haven't always talked or written about them."
A. It expressed a longing for the countryside life
B. But what did it smell like hundreds of years ago
C. Why is it filled with interesting and pleasant smells
D. It will become a record for the smell heritage of Europe
E. The more difficult part of the project will be to find descriptions of scents
F. The encyclopedia will also include descriptions of people for whom smell was important
G. The team will then use the information to create an encyclopedia of smells from Europe's past
