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
Throughout our daily lives, we have known plenty of people and will know more. But how can we tell if someone is trustworthy? In a paper published recently in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researcher gave us the answer.
The researchers asked 401 adults from the United States to fill out a questionnaire measuring their guilt-proneness(内疚倾向) in different situations as well as several other qualities, and then play a short online game. In this game, Player 1 is given $1, which they can choose to give to Player2. Any money given to Player 2 is then automatically increased to $2.50. Player 2 can then decide whether to keep all of the money or behave in a trustworthy way by returning a portion of the money to Player 1. The researchers found more guilt-prone people were more likely to share the money with Player1. Actually, in follow-up studies, guilt-proneness predicted trustworthiness better than other personality qualities the researchers measured.
Why might guilt lead to trustworthy behavior? The researchers found people who were guilt-prone also reported feeling an obligation to act in ethical(合乎道德的) and responsible ways while interacting(互动) with their partners in the game. People who are guilt-prone tend to avoid engaging in behavior that might harm or disappoint others. If they do something bad, guilt encourages them to try to make things right again.
Then， how can we use this research to ascertain whether someone is trustworthy? “One way to do this might be observe how they respond to experience regret,” lead author Emma Levine, assistant professor at the University of Chicago Levine, explains. Another way is to ask them to describe a difficult dilemma they faced in the past, suggests co-author Taya Cohen, associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University. This is particularly effective, Cohen and her colleagues have found, because it allows us to see if they’re concerned about the effects their actions have on others.
1、What may make others feel that we are reliable according to the text?
A．Our good qualities to help them out.
B．Our tendency to experience guilt.
C．Our kind attitude towards them.
D．Our team spirit in the game.
2、What may connect guilt with trustworthy behavior?
A．A sense of responsibility.
B．A feeling of disappointment.
C．The way one interacts with others.
D．The ability to tell right from wrong.
3、What does the underlined word “ascertain” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Ask B．Express
C．Describe D．Determine
4、How is the text organized and developed?
A．By providing background.
B．By making a lot of comparisons.
C．By answering the raised questions.
D．By analyzing effects of guilt-proneness.

B
When you’re out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves, do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but you probably don’t think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.
But the chief executive of London’s Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea, the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression.
It features well-known self-portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Rembrandt (1606–1669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, according to the BBC．
The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.
Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious. He isn’t claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh. But he does make a serious point. Once upon a time, it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones, as Hurst told The Guardian, who “had the skills, materials and tools to create self-portraits.” Today, however, we “all have that [ability] through our smartphones.”
The popularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year. As Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine: “the cult (热潮)of the selfie celebrates regular people”.
1、What does the underlined word “features” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A．informs B．shows
C．sells D．misses
2、Nigel Hurst’s attitude to the smartphone selfie is_______.
A．casual B．mixed
C．favorable D．negative
3、Who shares opinions with Nigel Hurst?
A．Kim Kardashian B．Barack Obama
C．David Cameron D．Pamela Rutledge
4、Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Selfies as Self-portraits B．Age of Smartphones
C．Age of Selfie Artists D．Selfies of Celebrities
