In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical line and asked to find a l

12、ine 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.

13、 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 peopl

14、e 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 abi

15、lity 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 a

16、re 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 womans assistance.(1)、In Paragraph 1, the underlined word conform probably means “_”.Aseek independenceBdisobey ordersCseek

17、 pleasureDfollow 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 othersBprove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersCtrain the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded

He _.Athinks he has no responsibilities to give a handBthinks he has nothing to do with itCis too shy to give his helping handDthinks someone else wil

20、r you arebut 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 th

21、ey 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-en

22、abled 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

23、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

24、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 smart

28、 life easier.DEmployers dont like smartphones.正确答案是：CHKN3、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

29、 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

30、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 competit

31、ive 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.

32、 But many of Airbnbs 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 dont form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hos

33、ts 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. Th

34、e 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 shari

35、ng needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt 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 Air

36、bnb 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 provide

37、s 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
