11、 happen. This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake (假的), like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts “close” buttons ar

12、e a complete trick, at least in the US the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US fire

13、fighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons arent completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense

14、of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that dont do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons dont live u

15、p to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies, they still continue to push fake but

16、tons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.1、What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo analyze the functions of fake buttons. BTo describe different fake buttons.CTo explore various habits of pushing buttons. DTo explain the disadvantages of

17、 fake buttons.2、What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?AThey work when people press them hard. BThey were designed for a sense of control.CThey never speed up the door-closing process. DThey take the safety of the disabled into account.3、What can we infer about pedestrian c

DThey help pedestrians cross safely.4、Which may be the best title for the passage?AButtons in the USA BButtons Always LieCButtons May not Work D“Close” Buttons on Lifts22（8分）Th

19、ey follow you in the street. They ask you for money and they dont leave you alone when you try to say no. They are the aggressive street-working, fund-raising charity workers, otherwise known as “chuggers”.The term “chugger” is a combination of two words, “charity” and “mugger”. Chuggers often work

20、in the street. They set up a stall with information about the charity they represent, and they try to get you to donate money to the charity. Typically, they prey on your feelings of guilt, greeting you with questions such as, “Do you care about the planet?” or, “When was the last time you did somet

21、hing for someone else?”But a survey of their strategies has found that some charity volunteers are far from charitable. “Many chuggers simply refuse to back off when asked to do so, said Brian Jones, a spokesperson for a charity watchdog (监察人). “One of the problems is that some chuggers say they are

22、 working as volunteers,” he added. “However, they arent really. Most of the 50 chuggers we spoke to showed little interest in anything other than raising the maximum amount of cash in the minimum amount of time. They get paid from this so it makes sense. Also, a fifth of fundraisers had no visible I

23、D and almost a quarter failed to give clear information about the cause they were representing. By employing chuggers who break the law, tell lies or refuse to leave members of the public alone, charities undermine the trust we all instinctively have in them.”But Shirley Bosworth, chief executive of

24、 the Institution of Fundraising, said face-to-face fundraising remains “an appropriate and effective method”. “It enables charities to engage with a particular demographic of donor, and it means that charity and donor can enter into a dialogue about what the charity does and how the donors money wil

25、l be used,” she explained.1、What do chuggers do according to the passage?AThey rob money of strangers.BThey cheat you into buying things.CThey ask you to donate money for charities.DThey hurt your feelings by asking questions.2、Whats the third paragraph mainly about?AThe survey of charity volunteers

26、.BThe problems with charity volunteers.CThe basic information about charity volunteers.DThe attitude Brian Jones takes toward charity volunteers.3、What does the underlined word “undermine” may probably mean?AbetrayBstrengthenCbuildDweaken4、How does Shirley Bosworth feel about what chuggers do?AIts u

In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floo

28、r. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids sports teams and fished in the nearby

29、 river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughters bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the hol

30、iday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities floodedalong with Mickelsons bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No ki

31、d sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went

32、 from making “great money to zero money”. Hes never looked back. “I found that the need I have isnt financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”1、Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace?ATo help the poor children.BTo make a bi

33、g fortune.CTo inspire his community.DTo get more donations.2、What do we know about Luke Mickelson?AHe had his own fish farm.BHe changed his career from time to time.CHe used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid.DHe originally had a relaxing and pleasant life.3、How did other people react to Mickel

35、 to talk about this problem Im having with my postman. It all began a year ago，after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude，I asked him about the baby. The next week，not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before. I asked all about the baby again. Now I

36、 cant break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words Hows the baby？come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why cant I stop it？The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it，I want everyone to like me. My sister had the same problem with the caretaker

37、 of her block of flats: All he ever does is complain；he talks at me rather than to me，never listen to a word I say，and yet for some reason Im always really nice to him. Im worried in case I have a difficulty one day，and he wont lift a finger to help. What about at work？Richard Lawton，a management tr

38、ainer，warns: Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff，treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning.

39、 To explain the point，Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who，after making one of his managers fired，said with moist（湿润的）eyes that he was so，so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied If you were that sorry，I wouldnt be leaving. The lesso

40、n being，therefore，that if you try too hard to be liked，people wont like you. The experts say it all starts in childhood. If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good，says Zelda West-Meads，a marriage guidance consultant，they develop low self-confidence and become compulsiv

41、e（难以抑制的）givers. But is there anything wrong in being a giver，the world not being exactly short of takers？Anne Cousins believes there is. There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy，she says. It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it. I am now trying hard to say to people I

42、feel uncomfortable about saying this，but. . ，and tell myself Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.1、Why does the author ask the postman about his baby?AHe is interested in the baby.BHe wants to create a good impression.CHe wan

43、ts to be always polite to him.DIts a way to start a chat with great politeness.2、What could we find out about the authors sister and the caretaker?AShe doesnt want to risk displeasing him.BShe doesnt pay attention to him.CHe often refuses to help her.DHe is impatient of her overreaction.3、Managers a

44、re more likely to be popular if they_.Ahelp the staff with their problemsBmake sure the staff do not lose their jobsCencourage the staff to be polite to each otherDdo not make too much effort to be liked4、what can we learn from this text?AIf you tell the truth, it will not make people like you less.

45、BIf you take time to talk to people, they will like you better.CYou should avoid unpleasant situations where possible.DYou shouldnt refuse other peoples requests for help.5、What is the authors intention of writing this passage?ATo show how to let others like you more.BTo prove how to create a harmon

46、ious atmosphere.CTo encourage people to have more self-confidence.DTo suggest ways of dealing with difficult people.25（10分）Everyone smiles in the same language.But not everyone smiles in the same medium,and that might be hurting us.Thats according to a new study from researchers at the University of

47、 Haifa and Ben-Gurion University,both in Israel,and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.Inadvertently timed to the recent release of “The Emoji Movie,”scientists decided to study whether using smile emojis in text messages between work colleagues caused the same warm feelings as a face-to

48、-face interaction that includes a smile.The results?For the first time,science was able to confirm that a smile emoji does not conjure those same feelings.Quite the opposite,in fact: using a smile emoji in conversation actually decreases perception of the colleagues competence and inserts a level of

49、 distance into the relationship.Its a phenomenon study leader Arik Cheshin dubbed virtual first-impression management.He and his colleagues,including co-leader Ella Glikson,conducted several experiments analyzing the reactions to text messages that included smile emojis versus messages that dont.The

50、y also measured these same interactions in social settings and found that the emojis actually improved perception.I believe there is a greater gap in what the sender is hoping to convey and what the receiver interprets, Cheshin,a professor,said.This intention-interpretation gap can be damaging.In ad

51、dition,Cheshin and colleagues found that the effects of smiley use on social perceptions occur regardless of the expressers perceived gender.So whats the takeaway here “I dont think that emoticons and emojis replace actual emotion,”Cheshin told us. They are just different.The emotions are there and

52、will always be when there are humans involved.Before picking an emoji that fits your mood at the moment,its better to just use words at least when youre at work.Or,better yet,just show up and talk face-to-face.You know,like the good old days.1、What is found in the study by Arik?AWork colleagues use

53、smile emojis more.BA smile emoji leads to warm feelings.CSmile emojis keep colleagues at a distance.DSmiley use works better than face-to-face interaction.2、According to Cheshin,the emojis senders may not know_.Ahow much virtual impression it leavesBhow it changes social settingsChow it has improved

54、 perceptionDhow the receiver will understand it3、What is the writers attitude towards emojis at work?ACautious. BPositive.CDisapproving. DIndifferent.4、What is the best title for the text?AWords mean much more than your smile emojis.BYour smile emojis wont replace your actual smile.CSmiling is a uni

55、versal language in any communication.DMisunderstanding may arise from smile emojis.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）Weeks ago,I was travelling by train.The train stopped at a station.The delivery man from the cafeteria 1 to deliver the pre-booked ho
