Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who ask

10、s for a fact easily found on Google? Dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time?Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little politeness. But many social agreed standards just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you dont have to declare who yo

11、u are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never ret

12、urned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a businesss phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on

13、 Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学

14、家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.1、What does the underlined word “exasperated”

Authors wrote plays for the masses, especiall

18、y those who couldnt read or write.The theatre changed a lot during Shakespeares lifetime. The authorities didnt like it and didnt allow acting in the city itself: They thought it had a bad influence on people and kept them from going to church. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, loved acting and he

19、lped the theatre become popular.The theatre in Shakespeares time was full of life. People did not sit all the time and it was not quiet during the performance. The audience could walk around, eat and drink during the play.Theaters were open arenas or playhouses that had room for up to three thousand

20、 people. There was almost no scenery because the dialogue was the most important part of the play. Colourful and well-designed costumes were very important and told the people about the status of a character. Women never performed in plays, 80 young boys played female characters. The performances to

21、ok place in the afternoon because it was too dark at night.There was no stage crew as there is today. Actors had to do everything themselves-from making costumes to setting the stage. Plays were organized by acting companies. They performed about 6 different plays each week because they needed money

22、 to survive. They had almost no time to rehearse (排练).The companies in Shakespeares time had a rank system. The company belonged to shareholders and managers. They were responsible for everything and got most of the money when the company was successful. Sometimes they even owned their own buildings

26、dy, conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and Anna Popova of Stanford University, looked at 19 programs around the world in which individuals were given cash transfers from the government, either as a handout or as a “reward” for something like getting kids to school on time or taking them to t

27、he doctor for checkupsEvans and Popova looked at the impact those cash transfers had on the family budget and whether or not they led to an increase in spending on alcohol and cigarettes What they found was that they almost always led to a reduction in a familys alcohol and tobacco purchasesThe news

28、 may surprise some people, but its true, and the researchers have several theories about whyOne theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible Investing in their kids education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within reach now, but without the ca

29、sh handout, these goals werent even a possibilitySo families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a realityAnother theory is that people just generally seem to do what theyre toldIf they are given money and told to use it for their familys welfare, in most cases

30、, they will do just thatAnd that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their childrenWhatever the reason for the trend, the data is clearfamilies that receive cash

31、handouts dont waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought Instead, they typically use that money for the benefit of their familiesAnd thats money well spent1、The study proves that Acash transfers help poor families get what would seem unavailable otherwiseBcash should be given

32、to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsCgiven cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoDpoor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs2、A cash transfer led to a reduction in a familys alcohol and tobacco purchases because Athe

36、ientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement (移位) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of

37、 Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that

38、would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers

39、said. Dropping objects into narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didnt realize this, and most of them went for the wi

40、de tube first.Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.1、How did the crows get the snack in Sarahs expe

41、riment?ABy breaking the tube.BBy dropping in erasers.CBy standing on the wood.DBy removing the wood.2、What does the author mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in paragraph 4?AThey were unable to tell different shapes.BThey dropped objects only into narrow tubes.CThey were not aware of the snack at

42、 first sight.DThey mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.3、What does the text mainly focus on?AStories of Aesops Fables.BThe development of crows.CCrows intelligence.DHuman-animal communication.4、What can we learn from the passage?ACrows are almost as clever as first-graders in some respect

43、s.BCrows understand water displacement completely.CChimps and children are much smarter than crows.DThe story of “The crow and the Pitcher” lacks evidence.25（10分） Ask any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and youll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved charac

44、ter that they admire. It might even sound like theyre talking about a person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didnt. After examining, researchers found the readers brains showed heightened c

45、onnectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, almost like

46、 a muscle memory. So even after youve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some time afterwards.It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的), because fiction is a simulation (模仿) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve t

47、heir interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading - as compared to people who werent taken by the story or who read non-fiction-displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people

48、 because empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from ones own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to i

49、mprove this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite - a reduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading a novel is far be

50、tter and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.”1、What is implied in the Paragraph 2?AReading novels is just a waste of time.BReading novels can help people become happy.

51、CReading novels increases connectivity in our brain.DReading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.2、What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?AThey tend to be emotional in social experiences.BThey understand the emotions of people better.CThey like to talk about their favorite characte

52、rs.DThey are more sensitive to everything.3、Whats the effect of watching TV or movies?AIt distinguishes your views from those of others.BIt contributes to your cognitive development.CIt reduces your empathy for others a lot.DIt changes your overall mental states.4、What does the underlined word “prio
