第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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。
A
Men don't go through pregnancy or childbirth. Their hormone (荷尔蒙) levels don't nosedive. What exactly have they got to be depressed about? Quite a lot, according to research from Sweden showing that, over the past 10 years, a significant number of men have struggled with the transition(过渡) to fatherhood.
This latest research tries to quantify just how many men get postnatal(产后)depression. Previous studies have found between 4% and 10% of men while, in this smallish sample of 447 Swedish fathers who volunteered (and may therefore not represent your average dad), a surprising 28% of men had symptoms that scored above mild levels of depression. Overall, 4% had moderate depression. Fewer than one in five fathers who were depressed sought help, even though a third of those had thought about harming themselves. While women in the UK are often asked a series of questions that screen for postnatal depression (which affects up to 13% of women), the mental health of fathers is rarely assessed.
The lead author of the Swedish paper, Elisa Psouni, from the department of psychology at Lund University, says the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS) used for both women and men is not so accurate in picking up depression in fathers. Her research showed higher levels of depression in dads because it added in a score more reflective of "male" symptoms of depression such as agitation, anger, irritability(易怒), working longer hours and drinking too much.
Depression in fathers may be rising not just because researchers are looking for it, but because more new dads are struggling. Psouni believes fathers increasingly face the same dilemmas that mothers do-including trying to combine parenthood with working Fathers who got depressed often had external pressures, such as job issues, and if their partner was depressed, their own risk of depression doubled. Lack of sleep, having twins and conflict in the relationship can all contribute.
A depressed dad will play and smile less with his child. Children are deeply affected by paternal postnatal depression with studies showing poorer measures of wellbeing and more behavioral problems at the age of seven.
Fathers who sense they may be struggling and partners, relatives or friends who notice an increase in imitability and anxiety in a man in the first year of parenthood (paternal depression is more dispersed throughout the first 12 months) should consider the possibility of paternal postnatal depression.
Cognitive behavioral therapy(认知行为疗法) can help, as can antidepressants. If the depression is not recognised, says Psouni, "one of most terrible things is that you catch up with yourself a year later and realise you have been really down and struggling-and the first year of your child's life has gone.”
1、What is revealed about men according to a Sweden research?
A．They experience a sharp decline in hormone.
B．Many of them suffer from postnatal depression.
C．They seldom go through pregnancy or childbirth
D．Many of them qualify for the transition to fatherhood.
2、What do the statistics in Paragraph 2 indicate?
A．The researchers should invite more Swedish fathers.
B．Over half of Swedish fathers tend to harm themselves.
C．The mental health of fathers deserves more attention.
D．Postnatal depression affects British women more easily.
3、Why did Psouni's research show higher levels of depression in dads?
A．Researchers use a new measure for male symptom of depression.
B．Researchers adopt EPDS to accurately pick up depression in dads.
C．Fathers have trouble in coping with internal and external pressures.
D．Fathers are often faced with the doubled risk of partner depression.
4、What may happen to a father with paternal depression?
A．He may develop terrible behavioral habits.
B．He may avoid being recognized with depression.
C．He may decline cognitive behavioral therapy.
D．He may miss the chance of giving proper childcare.

B
They hide in trees, hang from helicopters, even follow people down on motorcycles—all so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity. They are paparazzi—photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.
This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.
Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents (反对者) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.
Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”
Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.
Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (美国宪法第一修正案), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.”Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication.
Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.
The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.
1、Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?
A．Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.
B．Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.
C．Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.
D．Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.
2、Supporters of the new law believe that ________.
A．it prevents the media from getting worse
B．it gives photographers a fair way to compete
C．punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job
D．privacy of famous people needs special protection
3、Opponents of the new law are concerned that _________.
A．it will violate paparazzi’s privacy
B．the First Amendment will be changed
C．some photographers will be wrongly accused
D．people will not be informed of important news
4、What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?
A．Critical. B．Neutral. C．Approving. D．Skeptical.
