【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了周一凌晨，中国首都北京迎来了冬季第一场降雪，一夜之间，北京被大雪覆盖，气温降至冰点。本周，中国北方的天气将更加寒冷。文章解释了此次降温的特别之处、影响以及人们的应对方法。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Snwfall reached 5.8 mm n average by early Mnday, with the highest snwfall f 10.2 mm recrded in Fangshan district, Beijing Meterlgical (气象的) Service data shwed. Beijing typically sees its first snw f the seasn between late Nvember and February, r even nne at all. Mre snwfall is expected this week, with temperatures seen further sliding t as lw as -20°Celsius. The Chinese capital last saw such similarly extremely cld weather n Jan. 7, 2021, when the temperature drpped t -19.6℃.(据北京气象局数据显示，周一凌晨，平均降雪量达到5.8毫米，房山区降雪量最大，达到10.2毫米。北京通常在11月下旬至次年2月之间迎来冬季的第一场雪，甚至根本不下雪。预计本周将有更多降雪，气温将进一步下降至零下20摄氏度。中国首都北京上一次出现如此极端寒冷的天气是在2021年1月7日，当时气温降至零下19.6摄氏度)”可知，文章运用了列数字、引用权威的数据和比较，“说明观点”没有被用来表示降雪的严重性。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The cld snap (寒潮) in Beijing this week, cmpared with the autumn-like cnditins a week ag, mirrred the sharp swings in temperatures recently. In Octber, Beijing experienced ne f its warmest Octbers in decades in a year f weather extremes.(本周北京的寒流，与一周前类似秋天的天气相比，反映了最近气温的急剧波动。今年10月，北京经历了几十年来最温暖的10月之一)”可知，北京的天气条件不同之处在于从秋天般的天气到突然的寒冷。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“speed limits n lines cnnecting Beijing and Guangzhu in suthern China, causing delays in sme passenger trains”可知，客运列车延误是因为铁路部门对连接北京和广州的铁路实施了限速，故划线词意思是“实施”。故选A。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The fficial Beijing Daily reprted that vegetable stcks were enugh, hitting this year’s highest daily market vlume f 23,800 tns, as merchants stcked up (备货) ahead f time.(官方的《北京日报》报道称，由于商家提前囤货，蔬菜库存充足，达到今年最高的每日市场成交量23800吨)”可知，面对降雪，北京的商家增加了必需品的储存。故选B。
C
Fictinal, cmputer-generated human faces are s cnvincing they can fl even trained bservers. They can be easily dwnladed nline and used fr Internet scams(诈骗)and fake scial media prfiles.
Al prgrams called generative adversarial netwrks (生成对抗网络), r GANs, can learn t create fake images that are less and less distinguishable frm real images, by cmpeting tw neural netwrks against each ther.
Nightingale and her clleague Hany Farid at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, asked 315 participants, recruited n a crwdsurcing website, t say whether they culd distinguish a selectin f 400 fake phts frm 400 phtgraphs f real peple. Each set cnsisted f 100 peple frm each f fur ethnic grups: white, Black, East Asian and Suth Asian.
This grup had an accuracy rate f 48.2 percent—slightly wrse than chance. A secnd grup f 219 participants were given training t recgnize cmputer-generated faces. This grup had an accuracy rate f 59 percent, but this difference is negligible (可忽略的), says Nightingale.
The researchers als asked a separate grup f 223 participants t rate a selectin f the same faces n their level f trustwrthiness, n a scale f 1 t 7. They rated the fake faces as 8 percent mre trustwrthy, n average, than the real faces—a small yet significant difference, accrding t Nightingale. That might be because artificial faces lk mre like “average” human faces, and peple are mre likely t trust typical-lking faces, she says.
Lking at the extremes, the fur faces rated mst untrustwrthy were real, whereas the three mst trustwrthy faces were fake.
“We need stricter ethical guidelines and mre legal framewrks in place because, inevitably, there are ging t be peple ut there wh want t use these images t d harm, and that’s wrrying,” says Nightingale.
T reduce these risks, develpers culd add watermarks t their images t flag them as fake. she says. “In my pinin, this is bad enugh. It’s just ging t get wrse if we dn’t d smething t stp it.”
8. What can we knw abut GANs?
A GANs can cheat trained bservers.
B. GANs shuld be used under strict legal framewrks.
C. GANs can generate artificial pictures clse t real nes.
D. GANs-generated Images can nt be distinguished frm real nes.
9. Why did Nightingale and Farid carry ut the research?
A. T warn peple the risk f nline fraud.
B. T train peple t discver fake phts nline.
C T see if peple can distinguish fake faces frm real nes.
D. T test whether GANs can create fake faces t fl peple.
10. What des Nightingale mean in the last paragraph?
A. Stricter laws and regulatins shuld be impsed.
B. Effective ways are needed but nt fund yet.
C. Watermarks are an effective way against fake images.
D. Respnsibility shuld be taken by develpers t prevent misuse f fake images.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr this passage?
A. Develpment f Internet scams.B. Develpment f AI technlgy
C. Will fake faces lk mre trustwrthy?D. Legal framewrks fr GANs
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，该研究主要探讨了生成对抗网络（GANs）如何创建出逼真的假人脸图像，这些图像能够欺骗观察者，甚至训练过的观察者，以及这些图像可能如何被用于网络诈骗和创建虚假的社交媒体账号。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Al prgrams called generative adversarial netwrks(生成对抗网络), r GANs, can learn t create fake images that are less and less distinguishable frm real images, by cmpeting tw neural netwrks against each ther.(被称为生成对抗网络或GANs的人工智能程序，可以通过让两个神经网络相互竞争，学会创建与真实图像越来越难以区分的假图像。)”可知，GANs是一种人工智能程序，可以通过让两个神经网络相互竞争，学会创建与真实图像越来越难以区分的假图像。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Nightingale and her clleague Hany Farid at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, asked 315 participants, recruited n a crwdsurcing website, t say whether they culd distinguish a selectin f 400 fake phts frm 400 phtgraphs f real peple.( Nightingale和她在加州大学伯克利分校的同事Hany Farid在一个众包网站上招募了315名参与者，让他们回答是否能分辨出400张假照片和400张真人照片。)”可知，Nightingale和Farid进行这项研究的目的是看看人们是否能分辨出假脸和真脸。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““We need stricter ethical guidelines and mre legal framewrks in place because, inevitably, there are ging t be peple ut there wh want t use these images t d harm, and that’s wrrying,” says Nightingale. (Nightingale说：“我们需要更严格的道德准则和更多的法律框架，因为不可避免地会有人想要使用这些图像来造成伤害，这令人担忧。”)”以及最后一段“T reduce these risks, develpers culd add watermarks t their images t flag them as fake. she says. “In my pinin, this is bad enugh. It’s just ging t get wrse if we dn’t d smething t stp it.”(为了降低这些风险，开发人员可以在图像上添加水印来标记它们是假的。她说。“在我看来，这已经够糟糕的了。如果我们不采取措施阻止它，情况只会变得更糟。”)”可知，Nightingale认为开发人员应该采取措施来标记假脸照片，以防止这些照片被用来对别人造成伤害。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Fictinal, cmputer-generated human faces are s cnvincing they can fl even trained bservers. They can be easily dwnladed nline and used fr Internet scams(诈骗)and fake scial media prfiles.(计算机生成的虚构人脸非常逼真，甚至可以骗过训练有素的观察者。它们可以很容易地在网上下载并用于网络诈骗和伪造社交媒体资料。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要聚焦于生成对抗网络（GANs）创建的假人脸图像如何逼真到足以欺骗观察者，以及这些图像可能如何被用于网络诈骗和创建虚假的社交媒体账号。文章还探讨了假人脸图像在信任度评价方面的影响，以及由此引发的对伦理和法律问题的关注。选项C“Will fake faces lk mre trustwrthy? (假脸会看起来更可信吗？)” 最能概括文章的核心内容，即探讨假人脸图像的逼真性和其对人们信任度评价的影响。这个标题既体现了文章的核心讨论点，也具有一定的吸引力，能够引起读者的兴趣。故选C。
D
Obese peple experience discriminatin (歧视) in many parts f their lives, and the wrkplace is n exceptin. Studies have lng shwn that bese wrkers, defined as thse with a bdy-mass index (BMI) f 30 r mre, earn significantly less than their slimmer c-wrkers.
Yet the csts f weight discriminatin may be even greater than previusly thught. “The verwhelming evidence,” wrte the Institute fr emplyment Studies, “is that it is nly wmen living with besity wh experience the besity wage penalty (薪资损失).” They were expressing a view that is widely aired in academic papers. T test it, The Ecnmist has analyzed data cncerning 23,000 wrkers frm the American Time Use Survey, cnducted by the Bureau f Labur Statistics. Our number-prcessing suggests that, in fact, being bese hurts the earnings f bth wmen and men.
The data we analyzed cver men and wmen aged between 25 and 54 and in full-time emplyment. At a general level, it is true that men’s BMIs are unrelated t their wages. But that changes fr men with university degrees. Fr them, besity is assciated with a wage penalty f nearly 8%, even after accunting fr the separate effects f age, race, graduate educatin and marital status.
The cnclusin — that well-educated wrkers in particular are penalized fr their weight — hlds fr bth sexes. Mrever, the higher yur level f educatin, the greater the penalty. We fund that bese men with a Bachelr’s degree (学士学位) earn 5% less than their thinner clleagues, while thse with a Master’s degree earn 14% less. Obese wmen, it is true, still have it wrse: fr them, the equivalent figures are 12% and 19%, respectively (分别地).
Yur line f wrk makes a difference, t. When we dealt with the numbers fr individual ccupatins and industries, we fund the greatest differences in high-skilled jbs. Obese wrkers in health care, fr example, make 11% less than their slimmer clleagues; thse in management rles make rughly 9% less, n average. In sectrs such as cnstructin and agriculture, meanwhile, besity is actually assciated with higher wages.
These results suggest that the ttal csts f wage discriminatin brne by verweight wrkers in America are greater than expected. Nw, it’s time fr ur gvernments t take it seriusly.
12. What des the underlined wrd “it” refer t in paragraph 2?
A. Obese men earn less salary.
B. Only bese wmen earn less salary.
C. Bth bese men and wmen earn less salary.
D. Weight discriminatin may be greater than previusly thught.
13. Wh may experience mre discriminatin cmpared t their clleagues accrding t the data?
A. A fat wman ffice directr.
B. An bese cnstructin wrker.
C. An bese man with a bachelr’s degree.
D. A heavier female dctr with a Dctr’s degree.
14. What is the writer’s attitude f verweight discriminatin?
A. SupprtiveB. ObjectiveC. SubjectiveD. indifferent
15. What might the authr cntinue talking abut?
A. Overweight discriminatin in ther cuntries.
B. The reasn f discriminating bese peple in their lives.
C. American peple’s attitude twards verweight discriminatin.
D. Actins taken against verweight discriminatin in wrkplaces.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了肥胖人士在职场中所面临的薪资歧视问题。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段““The verwhelming evidence,” wrte the Institute fr emplyment Studies, “is that it is nly wmen living with besity wh experience the besity wage penalty (薪资损失).” They were expressing a view that is widely aired in academic papers. T test it , The Ecnmist has analyzed data...(就业研究所写道：“压倒性的证据表明，只有肥胖女性才会遭受薪资损失。”他们所表达的观点在学术论文中广为传播。为了测试它，《经济学人》分析了……)”可知就业研究提出只有肥胖女性才会遭受薪资损失，《经济学人》对其进行了分析和研究。结合指代关系可知，it指代的就是就业研究提出的“只有肥胖女性的工资更低”这一观点。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The cnclusin — that well-educated wrkers in particular are penalized fr their weight — hlds fr bth sexes. Mrever, the higher yur level f educatin, the greater the penalty.(结论是，受过良好教育的员工尤其会因为体重而受到不利影响，这对男女都适用。此外，你的教育水平越高，受到的损失就越大)”和第五段中“Obese wrkers in health care, fr example, make 11% less than their slimmer clleagues; thse in management rles make rughly 9% less, n average.(例如，在医疗保健行业，肥胖的员工比苗条的同事少赚11%；而那些担任管理职位的人的平均薪酬要低9%左右)”可推知，一个有博士学位的胖女医生比她的同事更容易受到歧视。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Obese peple experience discriminatin (歧视) in many parts f their lives, and the wrkplace is n exceptin. Studies have lng shwn that bese wrkers, defined as thse with a bdy-mass index (BMI) f 30 r mre, earn significantly less than their slimmer c-wrkers.(肥胖人群在生活的许多方面都受到歧视，工作场所也不例外。长期以来的研究表明，肥胖员工，即身体质量指数(BMI)为30或以上的员工，收入明显低于较苗条的同事)”和最后一段中“These results suggest that the ttal csts f wage discriminatin brne by verweight wrkers in America are greater than expected. Nw, it’s time fr ur gvernments t take it seriusly.(这些结果表明，美国超重工人承担的工资歧视的总成本比预期的要高。现在，是我们的政府认真对待这个问题的时候了)”可推知，作者以客观的方式提出了对肥胖人群的歧视问题，提供了数据和研究来支持肥胖员工(无论男女)比苗条同事挣得少的论点。作者没有表达个人对这个问题的支持或反对，而是提出事实，让读者得出自己的结论。因此，这种态度是客观的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Nw, it’s time fr ur gvernments t take it seriusly.(现在，是我们的政府认真对待这个问题的时候了)”可知，作者在段尾呼吁政府认真对待对肥胖人群的歧视问题。由此推知，接下来可能会谈论针对工作场所肥胖歧视问题应该采取的行动。故选D项。

【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何识别并避免消耗我们情感能量的情况，包括无意义的争论、说闲话、反复忧虑和渴望得到认可等。
【16题详解】
空前“Emtinal energy is a relatively new term t describe ur vitality(活力).(情感能量是一个相对较新的术语，用来描述我们的活力)”提到情感能量和活力的关系，D选项“活力是我们在疲劳到来之前所拥有的力量”承接上文，进一步补充什么是“活力”，且与下文中的vitality呼应。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“A debate is a great pprtunity t present yur wn pints f view and learn frm ther’s pinins. Hwever, smething very different happens when tw peple get int a pintless argument.(辩论是一个很好的机会来展示自己的观点，并从别人的观点中学习。然而，当两个人陷入一场毫无意义的争论时，事情就完全不同了)”表示当辩论变成争论，情况就不一样了，B选项“它的唯一目的是“击败对方”，并表达自己的观点”承接上文，说明争论只是为了获胜，不像辩论，还可以从别人的观点中学习，句中代词it指代上文a pintless argument。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据“Gssip(说闲话)”可知，本段说明闲话的影响，F选项“干涉别人的私人生活，而不是自己的，会耗尽我们的情感能量”表明说闲话会耗尽我们的情感能量，与本段主题一致，句中Sticking ur nses int ther’s private lives与标题Gssip照应。故选F。
【19题详解】
空前“We try t find the right answer r make the right decisin just by reflectin.(我们试图通过反思来找到正确的答案或做出正确的决定)”指出我们试图通过思考来找到答案，G选项“然而，我们忘记了许多答案只有当我们把思想和行动结合起来时才会出现”与上文构成转折关系，说明思考要与行动相结合才能找到答案，句中answers与上一句the right answer相照应。故选G。
【20题详解】
空前“We’re cnstantly trying t get ther peple’s apprval.(我们总是试图得到别人的认可)”表示试图得到别人的认可是我们一直在做的事情，C选项“这样做，我们只是在欺骗自己”指出这样做的问题，句中的this指代上文中t get ther peple’s apprval，且下文“Generally, peple either accept yu r they dn’t, and smetimes fr reasns that are cmpletely beynd yur cntrl.(一般来说，人们要么接受你，要么不接受你，有时是因为你完全无法控制的原因)”对C项做出解释，说明别人的认可是无法掌控的，因此，这种做法是自欺欺人。故选C。

I’d always wanted t play the rle f Alice!
Luckily, I stpped the scream befre it really escaped. In Pulsb, I’d starred in every play frm third grade n. I played my first rle as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan. And after that, backflips (后空翻) just culdn’t cmpare. All my friends were in the plays, t, and we’d had s much fun tgether!

It tk Mrs. Pearsn frever t get t my name. When she finally did, she read, “Hazel, Tyler, and Ella-hedgehgs (刺猬)!” She annunced this as if we’d just wn a millin dllars. But the hedgehgs had n lines. Mrs. Pearsn lked at us expectantly. I cast an eye n the ther tw. Ella lked as if she were abut t cry. Tyler lked as if he’d just eaten a piece f bad cheese.
The next day we had ur first rehearsal. “I really wanted t be Alice,” I said, knwing that they were bth wnderful dancers and wanted t d smething different instead f being a hedgehg. “Since yu just mved here, yu prbably didn’t knw that Taylr has gtten all the starring rles since kindergarten. The rest f us just have t take what’s left.” Ella said. “Oh,” I said, startled. In Pulsb, I’d been the ne wh’d gtten every starring rle.

Fictinal, cmputer-generated human faces are s cnvincing they can fl even trained bservers. They can be easily dwnladed nline and used fr Internet scams(诈骗)and fake scial media prfiles.
Al prgrams called generative adversarial netwrks (生成对抗网络), r GANs, can learn t create fake images that are less and less distinguishable frm real images, by cmpeting tw neural netwrks against each ther.
Nightingale and her clleague Hany Farid at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, asked 315 participants, recruited n a crwdsurcing website, t say whether they culd distinguish a selectin f 400 fake phts frm 400 phtgraphs f real peple. Each set cnsisted f 100 peple frm each f fur ethnic grups: white, Black, East Asian and Suth Asian.
This grup had an accuracy rate f 48.2 percent—slightly wrse than chance. A secnd grup f 219 participants were given training t recgnize cmputer-generated faces. This grup had an accuracy rate f 59 percent, but this difference is negligible (可忽略的), says Nightingale.
The researchers als asked a separate grup f 223 participants t rate a selectin f the same faces n their level f trustwrthiness, n a scale f 1 t 7. They rated the fake faces as 8 percent mre trustwrthy, n average, than the real faces—a small yet significant difference, accrding t Nightingale. That might be because artificial faces lk mre like “average” human faces, and peple are mre likely t trust typical-lking faces, she says.
Lking at the extremes, the fur faces rated mst untrustwrthy were real, whereas the three mst trustwrthy faces were fake.
“We need stricter ethical guidelines and mre legal framewrks in place because, inevitably, there are ging t be peple ut there wh want t use these images t d harm, and that’s wrrying,” says Nightingale.
T reduce these risks, develpers culd add watermarks t their images t flag them as fake. she says. “In my pinin, this is bad enugh. It’s just ging t get wrse if we dn’t d smething t stp it.”
8. What can we knw abut GANs?
A GANs can cheat trained bservers.
B. GANs shuld be used under strict legal framewrks.
C. GANs can generate artificial pictures clse t real nes.
D. GANs-generated Images can nt be distinguished frm real nes.

A. T warn peple the risk f nline fraud.
B. T train peple t discver fake phts nline.
C T see if peple can distinguish fake faces frm real nes.
D. T test whether GANs can create fake faces t fl peple.
10. What des Nightingale mean in the last paragraph?
A. Stricter laws and regulatins shuld be impsed.
B. Effective ways are needed but nt fund yet.
C. Watermarks are an effective way against fake images.
D. Respnsibility shuld be taken by develpers t prevent misuse f fake images.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr this passage?

Obese peple experience discriminatin (歧视) in many parts f their lives, and the wrkplace is n exceptin. Studies have lng shwn that bese wrkers, defined as thse with a bdy-mass index (BMI) f 30 r mre, earn significantly less than their slimmer c-wrkers.
Yet the csts f weight discriminatin may be even greater than previusly thught. “The verwhelming evidence,” wrte the Institute fr emplyment Studies, “is that it is nly wmen living with besity wh experience the besity wage penalty (薪资损失).” They were expressing a view that is widely aired in academic papers. T test it, The Ecnmist has analyzed data cncerning 23,000 wrkers frm the American Time Use Survey, cnducted by the Bureau f Labur Statistics. Our number-prcessing suggests that, in fact, being bese hurts the earnings f bth wmen and men.
The data we analyzed cver men and wmen aged between 25 and 54 and in full-time emplyment. At a general level, it is true that men’s BMIs are unrelated t their wages. But that changes fr men with university degrees. Fr them, besity is assciated with a wage penalty f nearly 8%, even after accunting fr the separate effects f age, race, graduate educatin and marital status.
The cnclusin — that well-educated wrkers in particular are penalized fr their weight — hlds fr bth sexes. Mrever, the higher yur level f educatin, the greater the penalty. We fund that bese men with a Bachelr’s degree (学士学位) earn 5% less than their thinner clleagues, while thse with a Master’s degree earn 14% less. Obese wmen, it is true, still have it wrse: fr them, the equivalent figures are 12% and 19%, respectively (分别地).
Yur line f wrk makes a difference, t. When we dealt with the numbers fr individual ccupatins and industries, we fund the greatest differences in high-skilled jbs. Obese wrkers in health care, fr example, make 11% less than their slimmer clleagues; thse in management rles make rughly 9% less, n average. In sectrs such as cnstructin and agriculture, meanwhile, besity is actually assciated with higher wages.
These results suggest that the ttal csts f wage discriminatin brne by verweight wrkers in America are greater than expected. Nw, it’s time fr ur gvernments t take it seriusly.
12. What des the underlined wrd “it” refer t in paragraph 2?
A. Obese men earn less salary.
B. Only bese wmen earn less salary.
C. Bth bese men and wmen earn less salary.
D. Weight discriminatin may be greater than previusly thught.
13. Wh may experience mre discriminatin cmpared t their clleagues accrding t the data?
A. A fat wman ffice directr.
B. An bese cnstructin wrker.
C. An bese man with a bachelr’s degree.
D. A heavier female dctr with a Dctr’s degree.
14. What is the writer’s attitude f verweight discriminatin?

T test it , The Ecnmist has analyzed data...(就业研究所写道：“压倒性的证据表明，只有肥胖女性才会遭受薪资损失。”他们所表达的观点在学术论文中广为传播。为了测试它，《经济学人》分析了……)”可知就业研究提出只有肥胖女性才会遭受薪资损失，《经济学人》对其进行了分析和研究。结合指代关系可知，it指代的就是就业研究提出的“只有肥胖女性的工资更低”这一观点。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The cnclusin — that well-educated wrkers in particular are penalized fr their weight — hlds fr bth sexes. Mrever, the higher yur level f educatin, the greater the penalty.(结论是，受过良好教育的员工尤其会因为体重而受到不利影响，这对男女都适用。此外，你的教育水平越高，受到的损失就越大)”和第五段中“Obese wrkers in health care, fr example, make 11% less than their slimmer clleagues; thse in management rles make rughly 9% less, n average.(例如，在医疗保健行业，肥胖的员工比苗条的同事少赚11%；而那些担任管理职位的人的平均薪酬要低9%左右)”可推知，一个有博士学位的胖女医生比她的同事更容易受到歧视。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Obese peple experience discriminatin (歧视) in many parts f their lives, and the wrkplace is n exceptin.

Nw, it’s time fr ur gvernments t take it seriusly.(这些结果表明，美国超重工人承担的工资歧视的总成本比预期的要高。现在，是我们的政府认真对待这个问题的时候了)”可推知，作者以客观的方式提出了对肥胖人群的歧视问题，提供了数据和研究来支持肥胖员工(无论男女)比苗条同事挣得少的论点。作者没有表达个人对这个问题的支持或反对，而是提出事实，让读者得出自己的结论。因此，这种态度是客观的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Nw, it’s time fr ur gvernments t take it seriusly.(现在，是我们的政府认真对待这个问题的时候了)”可知，作者在段尾呼吁政府认真对待对肥胖人群的歧视问题。由此推知，接下来可能会谈论针对工作场所肥胖歧视问题应该采取的行动。故选D项。

上文“A debate is a great pprtunity t present yur wn pints f view and learn frm ther’s pinins. Hwever, smething very different happens when tw peple get int a pintless argument.(辩论是一个很好的机会来展示自己的观点，并从别人的观点中学习。然而，当两个人陷入一场毫无意义的争论时，事情就完全不同了)”表示当辩论变成争论，情况就不一样了，B选项“它的唯一目的是“击败对方”，并表达自己的观点”承接上文，说明争论只是为了获胜，不像辩论，还可以从别人的观点中学习，句中代词it指代上文a pintless argument。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据“Gssip(说闲话)”可知，本段说明闲话的影响，F选项“干涉别人的私人生活，而不是自己的，会耗尽我们的情感能量”表明说闲话会耗尽我们的情感能量，与本段主题一致，句中Sticking ur nses int ther’s private lives与标题Gssip照应。故选F。

I’d always wanted t play the rle f Alice!
Luckily, I stpped the scream befre it really escaped. In Pulsb, I’d starred in every play frm third grade n. I played my first rle as Tinkerbell in Peter Pan. And after that, backflips (后空翻) just culdn’t cmpare. All my friends were in the plays, t, and we’d had s much fun tgether! And I just knew that if I culd star as Alice, life at Newland Elementary wuld be a lt mre fun.
Mrs. Peasn, ur teacher, annunced, “The rle f Alice ges t Taylr! ” My head buzzed. My stmach erupted like a vlcan. But I clapped alng with everyne else and put a fake smile n my face. It tk Mrs. Pearsn frever t get t my name. When she finally did, she read, “Hazel, Tyler, and Ella-hedgehgs (刺猬)!” She annunced this as if we’d just wn a millin dllars. But the hedgehgs had n lines. Mrs. Pearsn lked at us expectantly. I cast an eye n the ther tw. Ella lked as if she were abut t cry. Tyler lked as if he’d just eaten a piece f bad cheese.
The next day we had ur first rehearsal. “I really wanted t be Alice,” I said, knwing that they were bth wnderful dancers and wanted t d smething different instead f being a hedgehg. “Since yu just mved here, yu prbably didn’t knw that Taylr has gtten all the starring rles since kindergarten. The rest f us just have t take what’s left.” Ella said. “Oh,” I said, startled. In Pulsb, I’d been the ne wh’d gtten every starring rle.

I wuld use my acting skills and creativity t make the audience laugh and remember us, even if we weren’t the lead characters.
Everyne erupted int applause. At the next rehearsal, I presented my ideas t Mrs. Pearsn and the ther hedgehgs. Ella and Tyler’s faces lit up as they saw the ptential in my plan. We rehearsed with newfund enthusiasm, and when the big day came, ur perfrmance stle the shw. The audience rared with laughter as we spun and tumbled, ur spines quivering like real hedgehgs.
