11、d have been二、阅读理解共3题，30分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.

12、 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,

13、 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. B

14、ut 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 maj

15、ority 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 dif

16、fusion 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 “_”.A、seek independenceB、disobey ordersC、seek pleasureD、follow what others do(2)、What is the

17、 purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2? To _.A、explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of othersB、prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersC、train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-mindedD、describe how people would be influenced b

18、y the opinions of others(3)、In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldnt one help the woman? He _.A、thinks he has no responsibilities to give a handB、thinks he has nothing to do with itC、is too shy to give his helping handD、thinks someone else will offer assistance(4)、What method does

19、 the author mainly use to develop the text?A、Giving examples.B、Cause-effect analysis.C、Comparative analysis.D、Process analysis.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 arebut it also turns you into a workah

20、olic, 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 mo

21、biles. 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 mo

22、re 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 aver

23、age 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 i

24、n 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

25、 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?A、All that glitters is not gold.B、It never rains but pours.C、Every coin has two sides.D、Its no good crying over spilt milk.(2)、The underlined word “ac

27、f the workers in UK check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.D、The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8. am.(4)、Whats the main idea of the text?A、Workaholics like smartphones.B、Smartphones bring about extra work.C、Smartphones make our life easier.D、Employers dont

28、 like smartphones.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 all

29、ows 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

30、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 thei

31、r 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 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 an
