But while this shared hobby brings them together, it is al
20、so a source of contention . I do all the planning and book,“ says Mandy. “Dont get me wrong. I enjoy it, but if Joe paid a bit more attention, he wouldnt have turned up for a flight to Grenada packed fbr a winter city break. Jumpers and boots?!9 I cried. Youre supposed to have packed shorts and T-sh
21、irts-its 30 in the Caribbean!9 Then I realized he thought we were going to Granada, in Spain.”How Joe and Mandy each approach their travel plans is just one example of the many ways in which men and women differ. Yet, is what goes on inside our minds and bodies really so different? Furthermore, are
22、we born that way?On this issue, scientists are divided. The majority of scientists believed that patterns of behaviour thought to be more male or female are learnt firstly from our parents, then from our peers and, ultimately, from the societies in which we live. As Simone de Beauvoir famously said,
23、 “One is not bom, but rather becomes, a woman.”On the other side of the fence sat those who believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In one study in which 34 monkeys were required to interact with different types of toys, the males showed a strong preference for toys with
24、 wheels rather than soft toys, whereas the females were noticeably drawn to soft toys. These preferences were clearly not the result of parental influence.Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and women, we can safely conclude that although the social impact on how we think and behav
25、e is undeniable, there exists a biological contribution. The question that now needs answering is to what extent biology affects the choices we make and the way other people treat us.(24)What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Satisfaction.B.Disagreement.(25)What topic does the

28、bly agree with?More than half a trillion dollars. Thats the estimated value of all the stuff that U. S. shoppers bought last year only to return itmore than the economy of Israel or Austria. We tried new brands with unfamiliar sizes after seeing them on TikTok. We overbought for the holidays, and we
29、 shopped overly online, where returns are between two and five times more likely than that from stores.Where does it all go? Take the blanket I bought on holiday sale for example. I opened the package, only to discover it was just too small for my new sofa. So I returned it. Sorry, blanket! What wil
30、l happen to it?“Your blanket is very likely to be in a landfill/9 says Hitendra Chaturvedi, a supply chain management professor at Arizona State University. That is what consumers dont realizethe life of a return is a very, very sad path. Value is the big threshold (门槛)：Is the product worth the cost
31、 of shipping back and paying someone to inspect, clean, repair or test? Experts estimate that retailers (零售 商)throw away about 25% of their returns. Every year, U. S. returns create almost 6 billion pounds of landfill waste.Many others get resold in discount and outlet stores. Some go to sellers on
32、websites. Some get donated to charity or recycled. These options have increased over the past decade, allowing more and more returns to find a new home”, says Marcus Shen, chief operating officer of B-Stock, a platform where retailers can resell their returns, often to smaller stores.As companies co
33、mpete on flexible return policies, technology is also slowly playing a part: helping shoppers buy the right-size sweater or picture a new blanket inside their room. Most importantly, he says, shoppers themselves are getting more and more comfortable with buying stuff thafs not exactly brand-new.“The
34、 idea of that is no longer scary fbr us, right?” he says. On his holiday-returns agenda is an electric, self-heating coffee mug that he has never opened, and he feels confident it will find a happy new buyer.(28)What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A.The returning problem caused by overbuying online.B.T
35、he urgency to cut down on online shopping. C.The challenge facing the American economy. D.The cost of finding new homes for returned goods. (29)Why do some returns end up in landfills?Alts required by the return policies.B.It saves retailers 6 billion pounds a year.C.Ifs more economically efficient
36、for retailers.D.Ifs impossible to put returns to other uses.(30)How does technology contribute to less returning?A.By drawing pictures of the goods for the shoppers.B.By restoring the newness in returned goods.C.By improving the return policy-making process.D.By helping shoppers make better decision
37、s.(31)Which of the following examples indicates a desirable end-result for returns?A.TikTok items.B.The coffee mug.C.The blanket.D.A right-size sweater.DCigarettes arent just harmful when theyre being smoked. Even when cigarette ends go out and are cold, new research has found they continue to give
38、off harmful chemicals in the air. In the first 24 hours alone, scientists say a used cigarette end will produce 14 percent of the nicotine (尼古丁)that an actively burning cigarette would produce.While most of these chemicals are released within a day of being put out, an analysis for the United States
39、 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found the level of nicotine fell by just 50% five days later.“I was absolutely surprised/9 says environmental engineer Dustin Poppendieck from the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). “The numbers are significant and could have impo
40、rtant impacts when cigarette ends are dealt with indoors or in cars. While much attention has been paid to the health influence of first-hand, second-hand and now third-hand smoking, it is not the case when it comes to the actual cigarette end of the matter.”To measure emissions (排放)from this forgot
41、ten thing, Poppendieck and his team placed 2,100 cigarettes that were recently put out inside a special room. Once the ends were sealed away, the team measured eight chemicals commonly produced by cigarettes, four of which the FDA have their eye on for being harmful or potentially so.After setting t
42、he rooms temperature, the researchers tested how emissions changed under certain conditions. When the air temperature of the room was higher, for instance, they noticed the ends produced these chemicals at higher rates. This finding might discourage those who want to leave ashtrays (烟灰缸)out for days
43、 at a time, especially in the heat.(32)What do the researchers say about cigarette ends?A.They contain little nicotine.B.They produce no nicotine five days later.C.They give off nicotine for days.D.They create as much nicotine as burning cigarettes.(33)What do Poppendieck words suggest?A.First-hand
44、smoking does most harm.B.Health influence of cigarette ends is ignored.C.Cigarettes should be dealt with indoors.D.The findings are within his expectation.(34)Which word best describes the authors attitude to not cleaning ashtrays for days? A.Disapproving.B.Unclear.C.Unconcerned. D.Puzzled.(35)What
45、can be the best title for the text?A.Cigarette Ends Produce More Chemicals in the HeatB.Cigarettes Are More Harmful While Being SmokedC.Research Found Reasons For Cigarette Ends Harm D.Used Cigarette Ends Release Harmful Chemicals 七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项I have sometimes given mon
46、ey to beggars.36 Please let me explain why.First, for every dollar that we give to a beggar, the more profitable we make begging and, comparatively, the less profitable we make working. This is bad, for we want people to work, not beg. Working is productive while begging is at best neutral and often
47、 a burden. Second, the beggar who receives the money might spend it on alcohol or drugs.37When I went to elementary school, I remember that I was very moved by a song named nStreets of London. The song tells a heartbreaking story about some of London*s poorest, an old man in particular. Not long ago
48、, however, when I heard the song on the radio, it struck me that the man in the song does not live that horrible a life after all. Judging from the lyrics of the song, the man has shoes, and occasional access to a newspaper.38 So why should you give money to the beggar in the developed worldinstead of the starving child in Africa?It might be harsh to claim that it is immoral to give money to Western beggars. After all, it seems reasonable that you can spend the money as you
