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）If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple — eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.
During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.
The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.
In a test, participants were told to watch TV — where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.
The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.
The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”
Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.”
1、According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ______.
A．has the same taste as them
B．advertises his products on TV
C．reduces the price of his products
D．pays attention to the quality of his products
2、The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.
A．food plays an important role in earning people’s trust
B．bosses like employees that have the same taste as them
C．people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn more
D．people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV
3、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.
B．People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.
C．The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.
D．People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.
4、Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?
A．Honesty is the best policy.
B．All good things come to an end.
C．Birds of a feather flock together.
D．Where there is a will, there is a way.

23．（8分）Confidence Comes From Treating Others As Equals
There's been recent discussion over Chinese attitudes toward foreigners，caused by another quarrel between a foreigner and a taxi driver．According to the studies described in the Oxford Handbook of Chinese Psychology，Chinese have lower self﹣confidence compared to Westerners．Yet does the result still apply to the Chinese people today？
Yes and no．For the moment，different attitudes toward foreigners can still be found in China's society，with some displaying low self﹣confidence like "Foreigners are awesome （令人敬畏的），and Western countries are awesome．We should respect them and be as polite as possible，and shouldn't let them look down on us，" and a few unfriendly opinions such as "Some foreigners are rude and disrespectful，and their level of civility （礼貌） is far behind China."
Chinese used to be lacking in self﹣confidence．It might start from the modern history，after the failure in the Opium wars，and the following humiliation （耻辱） of being bullied （被欺负） and brought to their knees by Western guns．And the dark history is still to some extent affecting our mentality （心态） today．
For some time，the Western world represents the best of everything in some Chinese eyes．But our state of mind is gradually changing．When asked "What makes you feel proud of your country？" in school classes in China，answers vary from the World Expo to the Olympic Games，from athletes to astronauts，from the mushrooming skyscrapers to busy metropolises，which have all filled us with growing self﹣confidence．
While answering the question "Since China is so good today and Chinese people are more confident，why are an increasing number of Chinese emigrating abroad？" Zhang Weiwei，a professor at Fudan University，replied that at least 70 percent of Chinese migrants （移民） become more patriotic （爱国的） after leaving their home country，no matter whether they have become a naturalized citizen of another nation or not．Such result and experiences are much more convincing and have better effect than dozens of "patriotic education" classes．
There is no reason for us not to be self﹣confident．We live in the world's second﹣largest economy．Chinese net financial assets per capita （人均纯金融资产） and the purchasing power of people have seen a sharp rise，with more and more people starting to purchase works of art，instead of only necessities．These all indicate a rising standard of life and self﹣confidence．
Nevertheless，the point of the changing attitudes toward ourselves or other countries is not realizing other nations are better or worse than China，but treating them like how we treat our fellow Chinese．That is what confidence means，not being condescending （屈尊），not worshiping，but looking each other in the eye with trust and respect．
1、According to the text，what are the Chinese attitudes toward foreigners today？
A．They have various attitudes toward foreigners．
B．They think the foreigners are always rude．
C．They always speak highly of the foreigners．
D．They believe foreigners are just common people．
2、Chinese used to lack self﹣confidence because　　．
A．They thought the foreigners were mysterious．
B．They used to think themselves less powerful．
C．They were deeply influenced by the dark history．
D．They once believed foreigners were awesome．
3、According to Zhang Weiwei，most Chinese migrants　　．
A．desire to be a citizen of another nation
B．develop a stronger love for their home country
C．are unwilling to return to their motherland
D．serve as bad examples in patriotic education
4、What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Chinese should be proud of the great achievement of their country．
B．Chinese have enough confidence to make greater progress．
C．Chinese have a lower self﹣confidence faced with foreigners．
D．Chinese should be confident and take the foreigners as equals．
24．（8分）Podcasts (播客)
The B．S. Report
Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor, the B．S. Report is located by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. It’s not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports.

Filmspotting
Filmspotting is a weekly podcast and is a must-listen for any movie fan.
