We were both raised by parents who valued politeness, and more than that, I want to do all those little things that psychologists say help couples stay together. Expressing gratitude（感谢）is one of those things, so a quick “thanks” seems like an easy one.But according to a recent study, we’re not at all typical. The study looked at over l,000 recordings of casual conversations among families and close friends. In only about one out of 20 times were expressions of thanks observed. Phrases that meant “thanks” but weren’t a direct translation of the word were counted, including physical gestures of thanks.The researchers looked at a wide variety of people from different places, representing eight languages: Polish, Russian, Italy, English, Murrinh-patha (an Aboriginal language), Cha’palaa, Lao and Siwu.The Brits thanked people close to them the most, about 14.5 percent of the time, and close behind them were the Italians at 13.5 percent. The Murrinh-patha came next at 4.5 percent and following them were the Russians, the Polish, the Laotians and the Siwu speakers. The lowest? Well, the Cha'palaa speakers of Ecuador don’t have a word for “thank you” at all.As the linguists explained, “Expressing thanks, in some cultures, is more of a linguistic tradition than a true expression of feelings. In cultures where thanks are less often said, it’s because social cooperation is taken for granted, and ‘thank you’ isn’t really needed or necessary.”The idea that you don’t need to thank others because it’s assumed that you’re appreciative is beautiful. But it is a bit hard for me to accept. So I’ll keep saying “thanks” as frequently as I do. But as a frequent traveler, I’ll keep in mind to watch the local custom and follow suit.4. What might be psychologists’ opinion about expressing thanks?A. It can show a person’s values.B. It is passed down from parents.C. It is a little and unnecessary thing.D. It can contribute to close relationship.5. What is typical among family members according to the study?A. They say thanks at any time.B. They seldom express thanks.C. They often show thanks using gestures.D. They often use indirect translation of thanks.6. Who never say “thank you”?A. The Cha’palaa.       B. The Polish.C. The Italians.         D. The Russians.7. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. People thank close friends and family less.B. Family members don’t need to thank each other.C. Close friends have different ways to express thanks.D. Different cultures have different ways to express thanks.CFashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with. Lately, it's all about environment-friendly materials - recycled tires, mushrooms, even pineapple fibers! What if you want such a pair of shoes? Thaely is here to help. This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution. Led by 23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave, they may have found a winning approach; making shoes out of plastic grocery bags. “Thaely” means “plastic bag” in the Hindi language."I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment," Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. "I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste. "Plastic bags were the perfect solution. He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year. “I was motivated to find a solution to this problem,” Bhave said.               That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex. Made entirely from plastic bags, the material looks and feels like leather. That sounds promising. Better yet, the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products. The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers.               Bhave wouldn't expose the full process for making ThaelyTex, but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles. Where do they get the materials? Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part. "The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags. "              Finally, they got help from TrioTap Technologies, a waste management plant. Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex. So far, it seems like things are falling into place. There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place. It sounds like they have some plans for the future. "We have a few more colors coming up," said Bhave. They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing. Let's hope their growth is also friendly to the environment. 8.Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags?   A. To set a new footwear trend.    B. To test new materials for footwear.    C. To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country.    D. To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way.  9. What was the most difficult task for Bhave?   A. Having a few more colors for Thaely.     B. Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex.    C. Collecting enough production materials   D. Dealing with many poisonous by-products10. The underlined part “put out” in the last paragraph probably means      .   A. produce B. conserve C. provide D. broadcast11. What can be the best title for this passage?   A. Bhave: a promising young man   B. Thaely: killer of waste plastic bags   C. ThaelyTex: material out of plastic bags   D. TrioTap Technologies:a waste management plantDMany of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all. How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). According to the research, where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions. It shows that the effort in ignoring varying irrelevant sound actually holds back this rehearsal ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation,the two sources of words—from the task and the sound—are in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels. 12. “Mozart effect” is mentioned to ________.A. explain how music can relax people    B. show music can improve performanceC. advise people to listen to Mozart music   D. stress Mozart music gains wide attention   13. It can be inferred that participants in the research ________.A. have improved their rehearsal ability    B. perform better with little sound variationC. ignore the background noise successfully   D. prefer the music with great sound variation14. Paragraph 5 is written to ________.A. support an idea              B. make a contrastC. introduce a topic           D. describe a fact15. What is the author’s attitude to background music?   A. positive            B. negative         C. indifferent        D. objective第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Black box recorders are used to store data about a plane and its operating environment in the event of a crash. There are two types of black box: the CVR or Cockpit Voice Recorder, and the FDR or Flight Data Recorder.    16    And when combined, the information can be used to build up a picture of what happened during a crash. The Cockpit Voice Recorder picks up sound from inside the cockpit (机舱), including the pilot headset microphones and those of any other cockpit staff.    17   It’s used to record any other sound, even the noise of switches and dials(仪表盘). They used to be tape recorders but are flash drives now. These records around two hours of information at a time, recording over and replacing older audio. The CVR allows listeners to find out what the cockpit staff were doing in the event of the crash.    18   The Flight Data Recorder, on the other hand, records important information about what the plane was doing at the time. The collected information is then fed into the FDR at the back.    19   Then where are they kept? Sensors that feed data to black box recorders are located in key areas of the plane, such as the engine and wings.    20   This location lessens the chance of the black box being destroyed, as it’s not in an area which would take the impact of a head-on or belly-down crash.A. The sensors work well all the time.B. There’s also a microphone in the cockpit.C. Both record different types of information.D. The pilot took measures quickly and avoided the plane crash.E. Typically it includes factors like speed, altitude and engine performance.F. And what the staff observed and how they reacted can also be learned.G. The actual black boxes are located at the back of the plane beneath the tail.第二部分英语知识运用（共二节，满分45分）第一节完形填空 (共20小题；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、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。In times of stress and depression, a friend would always suggest going for a walk.
