12、 03（共16页）Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points)Text 1Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness,fear,and anger,guilt emerges a little later,in co
13、njunction with a childs growing grasp of social and moral norms.Children arent born knowing how to say“Im sorry”;rather,they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends and their own consciences.This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt,in the right amount,t
14、o be a good thing.In the popular imagination,of course,guilt still gets a bad rap.It is deeply uncomfortable its the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones.Yet this understanding is outdated.“There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role gu
15、ilt can serve,”says Amrisha Vaish,a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia,adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions arent binary feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another.Jealousy and anger,for example,may have evolved to al
16、ert us to important inequalities.Too much happiness can be destructive.And guilt,by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness,can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships.Guilt,in other words,can help hold a cooperative species together.It is a kind of social glue.View
17、ed in this light,guilt is an opportunity.Work by Tina Malti,a psychology professor at the University of Toronto,suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency.In a number of studies,Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation an
18、d sharing.Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt,which can rein in their nastier impulses.And vice versa:High sympathy can substitute 有道考神考研英语试题 04（共16页）for low guilt.In a 2014 study,for example,Malti looked at 244 children.Using caregiver assessm
19、ents and the childrens self-observations,she rated each childs overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.Then the kids were handed chocolate coins,and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child.For the low-sympathy kids,how much the
20、y shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty.The guilt-prone ones shared more,even though they hadnt magically become more sympathetic to the other childs deprivation.“Thats good news,”Malti says,“We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret.”21.Researchers thi

24、05（共16页）Text 2Forests give us shade,quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change.Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce,we are threatening their ability to do so.The climate change we are hastening could one day leave
25、 us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.Thankfully,there is a way out of this trap but it involves striking a subtle balance.Helping forests flourish as valuable“carbon sinks”long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now.California is leading the way,a
26、s it does on so many climate efforts,in figuring out the details.The states proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest.This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity.But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available
27、 moisture,so they grow and thrive,restoring the forests capacity to pull carbon from the air.Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects.The landscape is rendered less easily burnable.Even in the event of a fire,fewer trees are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent.Al
28、ready,since 2010,drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California,most of them in 2016 alone,and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020,and 60,000 by 2030 financed from the proceeds of the state s emiss
29、ion-permit auctions.Thats only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit,about half a million acres in all,so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in
30、 the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels.New research on transportation biofuels is already under way.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests,but traditionally theyve focused on wildlife,watersheds and opportunities for rec
31、reation.Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon.有道考神考研英语试题 06（共16页）Californias plan,which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year,should serve as a model.26.By saying“one of the harder challenges,”the author implies that .A global

36、raightforward visa for agricultural workers that would let foreign workers stay longer in the U.S.and change jobs within the industry.If this doesnt change,American businesses,communities and consumers will be the losers.Perhaps half of U.S.farm laborers are undocumented immigrants.As fewer such wor
37、kers enter the country,the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing.Todays farm laborers,while still predominantly born in Mexico,are more likely to be settled rather than migrating and more likely to be married than single.They are also aging.At the start of this century,about one
38、-third of crop workers were over the age of 35.Now,more than half are.And picking crop is hard on older bodies.One oft-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as its been all along:Native U.S.workers wont be returning to the farm.Mechanization isnt the answer,either not yet,at le
39、ast.Production of corn,cotton,rice,soybeans,and wheat has been largely mechanized,but many high-value,labor-intensive crops,such as strawberries,need labor.Even dairy farms,where robots do a small share of milking,have a long way to go before they are automated.As a result,farms have grown increasin
40、gly reliant on temporary guest workers using the H-2A visa to fill the gaps in the workforce.Starting around 2012,requests for the visas rose sharply;from 2011 to 2016 the number of visas issued more than doubled.The H-2A visa has no numerical cap,unlike the H-2B visa for nonagricultural work,which
41、is limited to 66,000 a year.Even so,employers complain they arent given all the workers they need.The process is cumbersome,expensive and unreliable.One survey found that bureaucratic delays led the average H-2A worker to arrive on the job 22 days late.The shortage is compounded by federal immigrati
42、on raids,which remove some workers and drive others underground.有道考神考研英语试题 08（共16页）In a 2012 survey,71 percent of tree-fruit growers and almost 80 percent of raisin and berry growers said they were short of labor.Some western farmers have responded by moving operations to Mexico.From 1998 to 2000,14
43、.5 percent of the fruit Americans consumed was imported.Little more than a decade later,the share of imports was 25.8 percent.In effect,the U.S.can import food or it can import the workers who pick it.31.What problem should be addressed according to the first two paragraphs?A Discrimination against
