The study highlights the powerful impact emotions have on individual decisionmaking.As an emotion, disgust is designed as a protection. When people feel disgusted, they tend to remove themselves from a situation. The instinct is to protect oneself. People bee focused on “self” and theyre less likely to think about other people. Small cheating starts to occur: If Im disgusted and more focused on myself and I need to lie a little bit to gain a small advantage, Ill do that. Thats the underlying mechanism.In turn, the researchers found that cleansing behaviors actually keep the selfserving effects of disgust to a minimum. If you can make people think of cleaning products, the likelihood of cheating also goes away. People dont know it, but these small emotions are constantly affecting them.The researchers conducted three randomized experiments causing disgust through various means. The study involved 600 participants around the United States; both genders were equally represented. In one experiment, participants evaluated consumer products such as antidiarrheal medicine (止瀉藥)，and diapers (尿布). In another, participants wrote essays about their most disgusting memory. In the third, participants watched a disgusting toilet scene from the movie Trainspotting. Once effectively disgusted, participants were willing to lie and cheat for financial gain.In another set of experiments, after falling into the state of disgust on participants, the researchers then had them evaluate cleansing products, such as household cleaners and body washes. Those who evaluated the cleansing products did not engage in deceptive behaviors any more than those in the neutral emotion condition.At the basic level, if you have environments that are cleaner, people should be less likely to feel disgusted. If there is less likelihood to feel disgusted, there will be a lower likelihood that people need to be selffocused and there will be a higher likelihood for people to cooperate with each other.The deeper meaning of the studys findings is that these powerful emotions can be caused by a variety of small things when people are reading the newspaper or listening to the radio. What we found is that unless you ask people, they often dont know theyre feeling disgusted. The question is how to make people more selfaware and more thoughtful about the decisionmaking process.答案：1.impact(s)/influence(s)/effect(s)2.others3purpose/intention4.reduce/minimize5.tendency6willing/ready/likely7.behaviors8.meanings9cooperation10.various檢測評價(jià)B卷閱讀理解A(2019南京、鹽城高三模擬)London to Brighton Bike RideThe startThe bike ride starts at Clapham mon tube station.Ride carefullyWe put together as many facilities as possible to help ensure you have a troublefree day. But we also rely on you to ride safely and with due consideration for other cyclists and road users.

To call for help from our motorcycle marshals, give a“thumbs down” signal. The marshal will do all he/she can to help, providing he/she is not already going to a more serious accident. If a motorcycle marshal slows down to help you, but you have just stopped for a rest and dont need help, please give a “thumbs up” signal and he/she will carry on. Remember thumbs down means “I need help”(2)_Refer to your route map and make your way to a Mechanics Point. Mechanical assistance is free when you show your Rider Identity Card; you just pay for the parts.Refreshment stopsLook out for these along the route.

They are also raising money for their local munities and the British Heart Foundation, so please give them your support.Rain or shine be preparedIn the event of very bad weather, watch out for signs to wet weather stations en route. Good waterproofs, like a cycle cape, are essential. Our first aid staff can only supply bin liners and by the time you get one you may be very wet.

But the historically high price of products is making it an even bigger drag on the bottom line.Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are pensating for the rising costs of waste in novel ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems, making food in smaller packages or trying to post (將制成堆肥) and cut down on trashhauling costs.“We have all e to work with this big elephant in the middle of kitchen, and the elephant is this Its okay to waste belief system，” said Andrew Shackman, president of LeanPath, a pany that helps restaurants cut back food waste.The interest in cutting food waste “has just rocketed in the last six to nine months，” he said.Roughly 30 percent of food in the United States goes to waste, costing some 48 billion annually, according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Wholesale food costs have risen more than 8 percent this year, the biggest jump in decades, according to the National Restaurant Association.Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when the two of the campus biggest dining halls to find there were no trays.“You have to go back and get your dishware and your drink, but its not that different，” said Caitlin Mewborn, a freshman. “Its not a big trouble. You take less food, and you dont eat more than you should.”Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38 percent at the dining halls, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Techs sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbed whatever looked good at the buffet (自助餐), only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.語篇解讀：食品浪費(fèi)已經(jīng)成為一個(gè)長期的問題。文章以弗吉尼亞理工大學(xué)的校園餐廳取消提供托盤為例，講述了餐館、大學(xué)、醫(yī)院以及其他機(jī)構(gòu)正在以新的方式來減少食品浪費(fèi)，從而彌補(bǔ)不斷攀升的廢棄食品處理成本。3High price of products makes the problem of food waste _.Aless challengingBmore unbelievableCless noticeable Dmore unsolvable解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，產(chǎn)品的高價(jià)使得食品浪費(fèi)問題更無法解決。故選項(xiàng)D符合題意。drag意為“累贅，拖累，絆腳石”。4What does Caitlin Mewborn most probably think about the fact that no trays are provided in the campus dining halls?AIt doesnt help cut food waste much.BIt causes much trouble for students.CIt isnt wellreceived by the freshmen.DIt is efficient for cutting food waste.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段最后一句可知，凱特琳繆伯恩對于校園餐廳不提供托盤的看法是，取的食物少了，吃下去的食物也就不會(huì)超過自己的胃口，這對于減少食品浪費(fèi)是有效的。故選項(xiàng)D正確。5The author mentions Virginia Tech as an example to support the idea that _.Afood waste has been a longlasting chronic problemBnovel ways are being applied to cutting food wasteCcolleges are truly the biggest source of food wasteDthe “Its okay to waste” belief system is influential解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句和最后一段第一句可知，作者以弗吉尼亞理工大學(xué)為例是為了表明，大學(xué)、醫(yī)院以及其他機(jī)構(gòu)正在用新的方式來減少食品浪費(fèi)。故選項(xiàng)B符合題意。C(2019鎮(zhèn)江模擬)Everybody seeks happiness in the world. We will be really happy when we get a new car or a big house or get married . The thing is, if we are continually searching for happiness in the outside world, we will be very disappointed. It seems as if we are forever chasing it and it is always just one step away.Happiness is a short state of mind, just like the state of sadness or joy or anger. It would not be possible for us to be in a happy state 24 hours a day. If you think that sounds laughable, think about being at a funeral when everyone is mourning. Would it feel right to go about with a huge smile on your face?What we go through in our lives helps us grow and understand the value of happiness. We need to be able to respond in all manner of ways according to what we are dealing with at any given time. All emotions and states are part of the life.Happiness can be found in reaching_out and being in relationship with people. Though time or money may be lost in helping others, these will bee our happy memories. Happiness is a dance with whatever in front of you. It is a deep connection to everything around you. It does not e from expecting others to bring you joy but from how you can create joy for others.If you want to experience happiness more often, see what you can do to put a smile on someone elses face each day and notice how much happier you feel when you have achieved that. Happiness is not to be found in material possessions. It is freely available to everyone at any time. All that is required to experience happiness is that you place your focus on moments in your life that make you smile.語篇解讀：幸福是一種心理感受。僅僅從外界尋找幸福的結(jié)果是令人失望的。要想真正地享受幸福，就必須從內(nèi)心世界尋找幸福。6What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?AYou may smile at a funeral.BWe should only keep happiness in mind.CExpression must be fit for the proper situation.DWe can be in a happy state 24 hours a day.解析：選C推理判斷題。第二段說明在葬禮上笑是不合適的。由此可推知，人的面部表情一定要適合特定的場合。7According to the author, happiness can show up when _.Ayou dont have to workByou expect others to bring you joyCa good relationship is maintainedDyou are free to do anything解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句可知，和他人建立良好的關(guān)系可以使人感到幸福。8The underlined phrase “reaching out” in Paragraph 4 means “_”Astretching ones handBoffering help to someoneCtrying to get somethingDrealizing ones dream解析：選B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第二句可知，雖然幫助別人可能會(huì)使我們損失時(shí)間和金錢，但它卻會(huì)成為我們幸福的回憶，故reaching out表示“伸出援手”。9What can we learn from the last paragraph?ASmiling to others is rarely available to ever
