But nothing has shown this panicky behavior more than storing specifically toilet paper（卫生纸）.‎ Seemingly transcending borders and cultures, people from all over the world, including the US, UK and Japan, have been clearing supermarket shelves mainly for this necessity. But what’s the reason for this sudden toilet paper storing? You can understand panic buying food, but do we really need that much toilet paper?‎ Steven Taylor, author of the book The Psychology of Pandemics, told the Independent that our toilet paper storing is a product of our disgust. During a pandemic, people’s sensitivity to ‎ disgust increases, like when you move aside if someone nearby sneezes (打喷嚏).‎ ‎“Disgust is like an alarm and what better tool for removing disgusting material than toilet paper. I think this is how it became a conditioned symbol of safety,” he said.‎ Writing for The Conversation, Niki Edwards of The Queensland University of Technology said, “When people hear about the novel coronavirus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like a way to maintain control over health and cleanliness.”‎ Another one of the most important reasons behind this toilet paper trend, according to the BBC, is the snowball effect. Due to its reports, both in the news and social media, people naturally ask, “Will there be enough toilet paper for my family and me?” This leads to more people following the crowd and buying toilet paper because of their fear of missing out.‎ ‎“Fear spreads easily. So when you see people around you buying things in a panicky way, it’s going to make you feel more anxious,” wrote American psychologist Baruch Fischhoff for CNBC.‎ While there are, of course, selfish people who store just because they can, it’s worth keeping things in perspective. Remember, just as countries are cooperating to find a vaccine, we must cooperate to ensure that everyone has their share of necessities.     ‎ ‎24. According to Dr Steven Taylor, what does this toilet paper trend result from?‎ A. The desire to get rid of disgusting material. ‎ B. The fear of losing control over cleanliness.‎ C. The frequent reporting on toilet paper. ‎ D. The selfish side of human nature.‎ ‎25. Whose words are quoted to explain “the snowball effect”?‎ A. Steven Taylor’s B. Niki Edwards’‎ C. Baruch Fischhoff’s D. The author’s ‎26. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?‎ A. To explore the bad effects of the toilet paper trend.‎ B. To explain why people tend to store pile toilet paper.‎ C. To criticize those people who store toilet paper.‎ D. To discuss people’s different attitudes toward the toilet paper trend.‎ ‎27. Which of the following statement do you think the author will probably NOT agree with?‎ A. The toilet paper storing can relieve people’s anxiety. ‎ B. It’s selfish of those to store too much toilet paper than they need. ‎ C. Panic buying is quite understandable. ‎ D. It’s better for us to stay calm and reasonable so as not to follow the toilet paper trend.‎ C Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. Key skill set for success is persistence（毅力），a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.‎ BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years.And over time,the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.‎ ‎“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,"Padilla-Walker said.”This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence-which can be taught-are key to a child's life success."‎ Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid（死板的）,demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权）。‎ In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time,children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence,which leads to better outcomes in school.‎ This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes.Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence,which is an avenue of future research.‎ 28. What is special about the BYU professors' study?‎ A.It was based on a number of large families.‎ B.It centered on fathers' role in parenting.‎ C.It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.‎ D.It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school.‎ ‎29. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?‎ A.Ignore their demands. ‎ B.Make decisions for them.‎ C.Explain the rules to them. ‎ D.Control their behaviors.‎ ‎30. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?‎ A.Children aged from 11 to 14. ‎ B.Single parents.‎ C.Authoritarian fathers. ‎ D.Mothers in two-parent homes.‎ ‎31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?‎ A .Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers.‎ B.Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future.‎ C.Family Relationship Influences School Performance.‎ D.Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father.‎ D A study found wireless signals are able to pass through bags and suitcases to judge the sizes of dangerous metal objects and identify them. “These items could include weapons, chemicals, laptops and batteries for bombs,” the research team said on Tuesday.‎ Research suggested that Wi-Fi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water, acid, alcohol and other chemicals for explosive（爆炸的） material. The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory(WINLAB)in the School of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas(天线)that could be fitted in existing Wi-Fi networks.‎ The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off（反弹）objects or materials. The approach, which the paper states, works by separating the wireless interference(干扰)caused by two factors of objects — the material and shape. “Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid, which have significant interference,” researchers said.‎ When it was tested on a backpack, the accuracy rate topped 95 percent. “But the accuracy ‎ dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped. And the tech could save lives if used in museums, stadiums, theme parks or schools,” the team said, noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy.‎ It uses channel state information(CS)that is readily available in low-cost Wi-Fi devices. “This could have a great impact on protecting the public from dangerous objects,” said Yingying Chen, a co-author of the study, “There’s a growing need for that now. In large public areas, it’s hard to set up expensive screening equipment like what’s in airports. Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower. “‎ The peer-reviewed study, which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security, is now published online. “Future work will continue to focus on ameliorating the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes,” researchers said.‎ 32. What does paragraph 3 talk about?‎ A.The function of the technique. ‎ B. The way the device works.‎ C. The principle the study is based on. ‎ D. The benefit of the study findings.‎ ‎33. What’s the advantage of the device?‎ A. It saves people in danger of natural disasters.‎ B. It passes through bags without damaging them.‎ C. It uses antennas to pick up networks’ signals.‎ D. It protects personal information from being exposed.‎ ‎34. Why did the researchers study the device according to Yingying Chen?‎ A. To save money and labour. ‎ B. To make full use of Wi-Fi.‎ C. To protect passengers’ privacy. ‎ D. To research dangerous objects.‎ ‎35. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ameliorating” in the last paragraph?‎ A. Confirming. B. Improving.‎ C. Discovering. D. Examining.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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。‎ Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago． 36 ‎ The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly．Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses． 37 So they are called "diseases of civilization"． Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.‎ Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none． 38 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today. ‎ Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones．They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits．They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains． 39 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.‎ ‎ 40 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.‎ A．Stone Age people lived a simple life.‎ B．But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.‎ C．In that case, they would live much healthier.‎ D．Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.‎ E．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.‎ F．People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.‎ G．Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".‎ 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题, 每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项 As I sat motionless on the steps of the pool, watching everyone else swim back and forth, I realized that I had spent most of my life watching others enjoy themselves.

It struck to me how I learned skating when I was a child. At 7, I began to go crazy about skating, like all my friend. At the beginning, it extremely tough for me to keep my balance. I always fall over on the ground, as the result of which I thought I had no gift for skating. So I gradually lost confidence and became impatient. The more impatient I was, the more terrible I did. I was about to give up while my father came to my assistance. Encouraged by her, I restored confidence and stood up again.
