第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）
Competition occurs naturally between living beings which co-exist in the same environment. In modern
society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for
social progress and prosperity(
繁荣
). Others say that competition is bad ;that it sets one person against another ;that it
leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied on how well they performed at tennis
and other skills. For them playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(
追
求
)of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which
values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most
vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.
Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win
or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse :”I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really
didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would
mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors
who try to prove them-selves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one
performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear
begins to dissolve (
缓解
) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

“Be afraid. Be very afraid,” says a character in
The Fly
, a horror film about a man who turns into an

enormous insect. It captures the unease and disgust people often feel for the kingdom of cockroaches, Zika-carrying
mosquitoes and creepy crawlies of all kinds. However, ecologists increasingly see the insect world as something to be
frightened for, not frightened of. In the past two years, scores of scientific studies have suggested that trillions of
murmuring, droning, honeybees, butterflies and beetles are dying off. “If all mankind were to disappear”, wrote
, a respectable entomologist, “the world would regenerate… If insects were to vanish, the environment would
collapse into chaos.”
Most of the studies describe declines of 50% and more over decades in different measures of insect health. The
immediate reaction is shock. Insects enable plants to reproduce, through pollination (
授粉
), and are food for other
animals, so a collapse in their numbers would be catastrophic.
But a second look leads to a different assessment. Rather than causing a panic, the studies should act as a timely
warning and a reason to take precautions. That is because the worst fears are unproven. There are no studies at all of
wild insect numbers in most of the world. Reliable data are too scarce to declare a global emergency.
Moreover, where the evidence does show a collapse—in Europe and America—agricultural and rural ecosystems
are holding up. Farm production still remains high. As some insect species die out, others seem to be moving into the
niches (
生态位
) they have left, keeping ecosystems going, although with less biodiversity than before. It is hard to argue
that insect decline is yet causing significant economic damage.
But there are complications. Agricultural productivity is not the only measure of environmental health. Animals
have value, independent of any direct economic contribution they may make. The more species make up an ecosystem,
the more stable it is likely to be. The extinction of a few insect species among so many might not make a big difference.
The loss of hundreds of thousands would.
And the scale of the observed decline raises doubts about how long ecosystems can remain resilient (
能复原的
). An
experiment in which researchers gradually pulled out insect pollinators from fields found that plant diversity held up
well until about 90% of insects had been removed. Then it collapsed. Given the lack of data, it is impossible to know how
close Europe and America are to an ecosystem collapse. But it would be reckless to find out by actually triggering one.
1
、

Ecologists have long been afraid of those disgusting insects.
B
．
Ecologists are worried about the disappearance of some insects.
C
．
Ecologists have already got rid of the prejudiced feeling about insects.
D

2
、
What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past 2 years?

．
Though there is a decline in the number of insects, we still have the reason to be optimistic.
B
．
Biodiversity can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault. "or "I
know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down. "It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of
blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that
helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom
to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you
need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,
so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack
of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.
Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a
different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to
work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter
what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as
anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.
So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just
stepping stop on for success.

While we all try to find happiness, sometimes we still end up feeling low. While most people can control
this feeling, low moods can stay with some, leading to depression. About 322 million people suffered from depression in
2015, according to a report by the World Health Organization in February. This is more than 4 percent of the world’s
population.
Depression is described by the WHO as a mental disorder. It has several symptoms including sadness, loss of
interest and feelings of low self-worth. In severe cases, depression may even lead to suicide.
The number of people living with depression is increasing. The WHO reported a rise of 18.4 percent between 2005
and 2015. Young people are a group known to suffer with depression. “The pressures on today’s youth are like no other
generation, perhaps,” Dan Chisholm, an official of WHO, told Reuters.
In China, depression among young people is on the rise, Zhu Zhuohong, a psychology professor with the Chinese
Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency. Competition to outperform others, especially in education, can cause a
lot of pressure for Chinese youth.
