20、ss.Overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset(抵消) the number of passengers who miss flights by selling several more tickets.

21、d needed four passengers to make way for them.Normally, when there's an overbooking issue, airlines will offer compensation to the passengers who are willing to take a later flight.

DIt's for employees.【解析】从第二段Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset(抵消) the number of passengers who miss flights by selling several more tickets.可知，部分旅客取消出行计划会造成航班座位虚耗，这会造成一些损失。为了抵消这一数量，航空公司会进行航班座位的超

30、e great is to be bold, and that to be happy is to be sociable. We see ourselves as a nation of extrovertswhich means that we've lost sight of who we really are. One­third to one­half of Americans are introvertsin other words, one out of every two or three people you know. If you're

31、 not an introvert yourself, you are surely raising, managing, married to or coupled with one.If these statistics surprise you, that's probably because so many people pretend to be extroverts. Closet introverts pass undetected on playgrounds, in high school locker rooms, and in the corridors of A

32、mericas companies. Some fool even themselves, until some life eventa layoff, an empty nest, an inheritance(继承遗产) that frees them to spend time as they likeenables them to evaluate their true natures. You have only to raise this_subject with your friends and acquaintances to find that the most unlike

33、ly people consider themselves introverts.It makes sense that so many introverts hide even from themselves. We live with a value system that I call the Extrovert Idealthe universal belief that the ideal self is outgoing, leading, and comfortable in the spotlight. The typical extrovert prefers action

34、to meditation, risk­taking to caution­taking, certainty to doubt. They favor quick decisions, even at the risk of being wrong. They work well in teams and socialize in groups. We like to think that we value individuality, but all too often we admire one type of individualthe kind who's

35、 comfortable “putting himself out there”. Introversionalong with its sensitivity, seriousness, and shynessis now a second­class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a disease. But we make a grave mistake to embrace the Extrovert Ideal so unthinkingly. Some of our greatest i

36、deas, art, and inventionsfrom the theory of evolution to Vincent van Gogh's sunflowers to the personal computercame from quiet and analytical people who knew how to tune in to their inner worlds and the treasures to be found there. We need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we a

37、lso need to be teaching them how to work on their own. This is especially important for extroverted children too. They need to work on their own because that is where deep thought comes from in part. We could all try to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.(B)28.Why do many people

38、 pretend to be extroverts?ABecause they want to be bold, happy and sociable.BBecause they live with a value system that favors extroverts.CBecause they want to surprise others.DBecause they believe they are unlikely to be introverts.【解析】根据第三段“It makes sense that so many introverts hide even from the

39、mselves. We live with a value system that I call the Extrovert Idealthe universal belief that the ideal self is outgoing, leading, and comfortable in the spotlight.”可知，如此多的内向者甚至对自己隐藏真实的性格(假装外向)是有原因的。我们生活在一个我称之为“外向理想型性格”的价值体系中，即人们普遍认为，理想的性格特点是善于交际，有领袖气质，在众人瞩目的场合收放自如，故选B。(D)29.What does the underlined

40、 phrase “this subject” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AThe life event that happened to you.BThe relationship between your friends and acquaintances.CHow you spend your free time with an inheritance.DWhat you think of your true nature.【解析】根据第二段 “.enables them to evaluate their true natures.”可知，有些人甚至欺骗了

41、自己，直到某些生活事件失业、独守空巢、继承一笔能够让他们随意支配时间的遗产让他们惊醒，开始审视自己真实的一面。可见此处的the subject指的是“如何看待自己真实的一面”，故选D。(C)30.In most cases, extroverts have a preference for _Asensitivity, seriousness, and shyness Bquick decisions and wrongdoingsCaction, risk­taking and certainty Dmeditation, caution­taking and doubt

42、【解析】根据第三段“The typical extrovert prefers action to meditation, risk­taking to caution­taking, certainty to doubt. They favor quick decisions, even at the risk of being wrong.”可知，典型的外向者喜欢行动，而不愿思考，喜欢冒险，而不愿小心谨慎，喜欢肯定，而不愿质疑。他们希望在短时间内作出决定，哪怕冒犯错的风险，故选C。(A)31.What is the best title of the passage?

43、AThe Power of Introverts BThe Typical Personality StyleCThe Extrovert Ideal DIntroverts vs Extroverts【解析】根据第四段“But we make a grave mistake to embrace the Extrovert Ideal so unthinkingly.”可知，我们不假思索地接受“外向理想型性格”，其实是犯了一个严重的错误。一些最伟大的思想、艺术作品和发明从进化论到凡·高的向日葵再到个人电脑都来自于冷静和理智的人，他们知道如何倾听自己的内心世界，并从中挖掘宝藏。本文作

44、者希望人们能坦然接受自己内向的本性，因为内向者具有其独特的力量。故选A。DMany teens make risky decisions. Lab experiments have shown risky behavior drops steadily as people grow from children into adults. But real­life data show a different pattern: Adolescents take more risks and are also more likely to be injured or die as a re

45、sult of such behaviors.To resolve why teens behave this way, Wouter van den Bos and Ralph Hertwig, two German psychologists, employed 105 people, all from 8 to 22 years old. All were made to spin a wheel. The wheel was divided into 10 equal­sized wood blocks. Some were orange, while others blue

46、. If the wheel stopped spinning on an orange block, the participants won or lost money. This could be between 3 and 32 euros. But if the wheel stopped on a blue one, they got nothing. Meanwhile, the five­euro option, a guaranteed win, was provided.The researchers designed trials like this: in h

47、alf of the trials, the orange and blue blocks were visible around the entire wheel, and in the other trials, part of the wheel was covered and thus participants had no idea how likely they were to win. As more of the wheel was covered, the risks of spinning became more and more ambiguous.Teens were

48、more likely to spin the wheel, even when much of it was covered, van den Bos and Hertwig found. Children and adults, however, avoided those ambiguous situations. Instead, they chose the guaranteed reward in these trials.“In the teenage years, there's much to explore and to learn by exploration，”

49、 van den Bos says. Many experiences are new, he notes, and teens don't know how they'll turn out. “Many of these situations aren't dangerous and are helpful in becoming an independent adult. So in general, this seems to be a good attitude to have，” he concludes.(B)32.What inspired the tw

50、o psychologists to conduct their study?AA steady drop in teens' risky behavior. BAdolescents' adventurous behaviors.CMore deaths caused by risky behaviors. DTeenagers' tendency to make decisions.【解析】从第二段的第一句话“To resolve why teens behave this way.”可以得出答案。(C)33.What would happen when the w

51、heel stopped spinning on the orange blocks?AThe participants would be rewarded nothing.BThe researchers would choose some other participants.CThe participants would either win or lose money.DThe researchers would end the trial.【解析】从第二段中的“If the wheel stopped spinning on an orange block, the particip

52、ants won or lost money.”可以得知答案。(A)34.What was the children and adults' preference in the trial?AThey chose the five­euro option. BThey took risky decisions.CThey spun the wheel harder. DThey changed the way of spinning .【解析】从倒数第二段中的“they chose the guaranteed reward in these trials”再结合第二段的 “

53、the five­euro option, a guaranteed win, was provided”可以得知答案。(D)35.What does van den Bos think of teenagers' attitude toward uncertainty?AIt is unchangeable. BIt is harmful.CIt is natural. DIt makes sense.【解析】从最后一段“So in general, this seems to be a good attitude to have”可以得知答案。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分
