1、Psychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three. You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates (同伙) of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion. But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead. A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman’s assistance.

(1)、In Paragraph 1, the underlined word "conform" probably means “________”.
Aseek independence
Bdisobey orders
Cseek pleasure
Dfollow what others do

(2)、What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2? To ________.
Aexplain why people would be influenced by the opinions of others
Bprove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others
Ctrain the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded
Ddescribe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others

(3)、In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman? He ________.
Athinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand
Bthinks he has nothing to do with it
Cis too shy to give his helping hand
Dthinks someone else will offer assistance

(4)、What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?
AGiving examples.
BCause-effect analysis.
CComparative analysis.
DProcess analysis.
对旳答案是：DFLM

2、Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems. A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight. Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”

(1)、What can we conclude from the text?
AAll that glitters is not gold.
BIt never rains but pours.
CEvery coin has two sides.
DIt’s no good crying over spilt milk.

(2)、The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
Acalling
Breaching
Cgetting
Dusing

(3)、Which of the following is true according to the text?
AThe average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.
BNine- tenths of workers in UK spent over three hours checking work emails.
COne-fourth of the workers in UK check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.
DThe average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8. am.

(4)、What’s the main idea of the text?
AWorkaholics like smartphones.
BSmartphones bring about extra work.
CSmartphones make our life easier.
DEmployers don’t like smartphones.
对旳答案是：CHKN

3、The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law. Airbnb is an internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services. The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy. But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law. Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts’ neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don’t form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections. Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors. The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers’ ability to earn a minimum wage. This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesn’t mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.

(1)、What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?
AIt is a global trend.
BIt is beyond regulations.
CIt draws on spare resources.
DIt brings in modest profits.

(2)、What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?
AThey are not regularly inspected.
BThey are likely to commit thefts.
CThey are allowed not to pay taxes.
DThey can be noisy to hosts’ neighbours.

(3)、What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?
AWhether it guarantees customers’ safety.
BWhether it provides reliable services.
CWhether it lowers customers’ expenses.
DWhether it can compete with standard taxis.

(4)、What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?
AExisting regulations and laws.
BMore downsides of Airbnb and Uber.
CFurther development of Airbnb and Uber.
DNecessary improvements of current laws.

Directions: 请在30分钟内以《诚实是有回报旳》为题参照给出旳提纲写大概80字旳作文。It Pays to Be Honest. Outline: (1) 目前社会上存在着许多不诚实旳现象。(2)诚实利人利己,做人应当诚实
对旳答案：例文： // It is undeniable that dishonesty in our society, which does us much harm in many respects, has aroused public concern nowadays. For example, many doctors sell unnecessary but expensive medicines to their patients in order to get more money, And a lot of people buy fake certificates so that they can get better jobs. Also, some students cheat on exams. Even such famous star as Ouyang San, once considered China’s movie king, cheated the government on income taxes. // It is unequivocally well known that being honest is beneficial to the people involved. Meanwhile, a sense of honesty builds up in others’ hearts, which, in turn, will earn you true friendship.
