26、T. 30 The world is full of new horrors and theres no place to hide. Who says so? Disaster psychologists, for a start. They are the people who take in the big picture of our collective reactions to human-created disaster, the ways these reactions are caused, and our coping mechanisms. And research in
27、to disaster psychology is growing fast. Among the big issues being addressed by these researchers are understanding the terrorists weapons, assessing the full impact of terrorism and, crucially, working out which psychological approaches actually work. Its a deeply controversial area. Take the work
28、of Dennis Embry as an example. He argues that we have overlooked the obvious: the purpose of terrorism is to create terror. This works best “if the very symbols of everyday life become conditioned fear and anxiety stimulant“. The top targets will be the most symbolic of a nations daily life, prefera
29、bly served up for prime-time television. Crashing planes from United and American Airlines into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon met those objectives all too perfectly. After the attacks, people stopped flying. Why? Not because they had made a rational risk assessment but because the mere thought of
30、 flying made their palms sweat. From terrorism to rail crashes, counseling and “debriefing“ (盘问 ) are the standard response to help those caught up in disasters. But there are growing doubts about their effectiveness. What might be going wrong? Debriefing focuses on getting people to talk through th
31、e trauma (损伤 ) and its emotional consequences soon after the incident. Could it be that some people are better by distancing themselves from what happened, rather than retelling it? If disaster psychologists want to find better ways to help, theyll have to win the race between our understanding of h
32、uman psychology and the terrorists. 31 Disaster psychology refers to the study of how to_. （ A） avoid human-created disasters （ B） cope with human reactions to disasters （ C） reduce the worst natural disasters （ D） prevent growing terrorism 32 The passage tells us that disaster psychology is_. （ A）

34、ily life. （ C） By turning symbols of everyday life into fear and anxiety stimulant. （ D） Through hijacking big planes from the most famous international airlines. 34 Why do people usually stop flying after terrorist attacks? （ A） Because they are terrified of flying. （ B） Because they believe in rat
35、ional risk assessment. （ C） Because their palms will become too sweaty for them to fly. （ D） Because they cant decide which airline will be the safest. 35 Counseling and debriefing may not be effective methods because_. （ A） there is fierce controversy in this area （ B） many research have proved thi
36、s （ C） some people may hide their true feelings （ D） some people may feel better to forget the disaster 36 According to the last passage, what does “theyll have to win the race between our understanding of human psychology and the terrorists“ mean? （ A） Disaster psychologists have to run faster than
37、 terrorists to win the race. （ B） Disaster psychologists should understand the psychology of the terrorists. （ C） Disaster psychologists should understand more deeply the psychology of human than that of the terrorists. （ D） Compared with the terrorists understanding of human psychology, disaster ps
38、ychologists should have a better understanding of human psychology. 36 Many Americans harbor a grossly distorted and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food. Fergus Clydesdale, head of the department of food science and nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, says bluntl
39、y that if the dangers from bacterially contaminated chicken were as great as some people believe, “the streets would be littered with people lying here and there.“ Though the public increasingly demands no-risk food, there is no such thing. Bruce Ames, chairman of the biochemistry department at the
40、University of California, Berkeley, points out that up to 10% of a plants weight is made up of natural pesticide (杀虫剂 ). Says he, “Since plants do not have jaws or teeth to protect themselves, they employ chemical warfare.“ And many naturally produced chemicals, though occurring in tiny amounts, pro
41、ve in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogens a substance that can cause cancer. Mushrooms (蘑菇 ) might be banned if they were judged by the same standards that apply to food additives (添加剂 ). Declares Christina Stark, a nutritionist at Cornell University: “Weve got far worse natural chemicals in t
42、he food supply than anything man-made. Yet the issues are not that simple. While Americans have no reason to be terrified to sit down at the dinner table, they have every reason to demand significant improvements in food and water safety. They unconsciously and unwillingly take in too much of too ma
43、ny dangerous chemicals. If food already contains natural carcinogens, it does not make much sense to add dozens of new man-made ones. Though most people will withstand the small amounts of contaminants generally found in food and water, at least a few individuals will probably get cancer one day bec
44、ause of what they eat and drink. To make good food and water supplies even better, the Government needs to tighten its regulatory standards, stiffen its inspection program and strengthen its enforcement policies. The food industry should modify some long-accepted practices or turn to less hazardous
45、alternatives. Perhaps most important, consumers will have to do a better job of learning how to select and cook food properly. The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain, from fields to processing plants to kitchens. 37 What does the author think of the Americans view
46、 of their food? （ A） They overlook the risks of the food they eat. （ B） They overestimate the hazards of their food. （ C） They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food. （ D） They overstate the governments interference with the food industry. 38 The author considers it impossible to obtain n
47、o-risk food because_. （ A） many vegetables contain deadly natural chemicals （ B） almost all foods have additives （ C） no food is free from pollution in the environment （ D） pesticides are widely used in agriculture 39 By saying “they employ chemical warfare“ (Para. 2), Bruce Ames means_. （ A） plants
48、 absorb useful chemicals to promote their growth （ B） plants produce certain chemicals to combat pests and diseases （ C） farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseases （ D） farmers use man-made chemicals to dissolve the natural chemicals in plants 40 The reduction of the possible
49、 hazards in food ultimately depends on_. （ A） the consumer （ B） the government （ C） the grower （ D） the processor 41 What is the message the author wants to convey in the passage? （ A） Immediate measures must be taken to improve food production and processing. （ B） Eating and drinking have become more hazardous than before. （ C） There is reason for caution but no cause for alarm with regard to food consumption. （ D） Healthy food is not a dream in
