第二部分 阅读理解(共三节，满分55分)
第一节 单项选择(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Affectionately known as Temple Town, Siem Reap (暹粒) in Cambodia has been rapidly developing over recent years to cater to tourists that stream through to witness the wonders of the Angkor Archaeological Park. Aside from these awe-inspiring ancient structures, there are plenty of other things to see and do, as well as countless places to eat and drink, and make the most of your nights out. Most people enjoy a night on the tiles of Siem Reap without incident, but street theft, scams, and other petty crimes can never be completely discounted in any major tourist destinations in the region. Pick pocketing and bag theft are the most common incidents, but can easily be avoided by simple use of common sense. Be aware that locals are very proud people, and displays of anger or rudeness from a foreigner are never well received. You can guarantee yourself a great night by being cool and smart by following some basic rules:
※ Don’t carry more money than you need: there are plenty of ATMs across town, and most Siem Reap establishments are relatively accessible.
※ Try to keep to main roads and avoid walking alone, especially if you are lost.
※ Keep wallets, handbags, mobile phones and cameras close to you, and don’t leave your belongings unattended anywhere: reducing the opportunities for theft is the best way to reduce the likelihood of it happening.
※ Be careful (ladies especially) on motors or tuk-tuks not to leave bags hanging loosely over your shoulder. Keep them out of reach of passers-by — the same goes for cameras too.
※ If you hire a motorbike, try to buy your own padlock and never leave it unlocked, unless it’s in a ticketed parking place.
※ Be polite and friendly with local people, whatever the situation.
※ Negotiate your fare to avoid problems later.

A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature?
Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic（贵族化的）life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a boast（吹牛）disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate?” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.
As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance of humility（谦逊）.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging? published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back? “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”
24. Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”?
A. You know who my father is? My father is Li Gang.
B. Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.
C. It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
25. What is the psychology behind humblebragging?
A. To win others’ sympathy. B. To earn others’ admiration.
C. To show his/her sincerity. D. To mask his/her complaint.
26. What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Indirect B. Comic. C. Obvious. D. Sharp.
27. What can’t be inferred from the passage?
A. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
D. If you want to be perceived positively, try using Versailles literature.
C
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions--and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified(多样性) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
28. The discovery shows that Westerners ___________.
A. consider facial expressions universally reliable
B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
29. What were the people asked to do in the study?
A.  To classify some face pictures. B. To get their faces impressive.
C.  To make a face at each other. D. To observe the researchers' faces.
30. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to ___________.
A. do translation more successfully B. examine the eyes more attentively
C. study the mouth more frequently D. read facial expressions more correctly
31. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul. B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills.
C. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding. D. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions.
D
A complaint was received by the president of a major car company:“This is the fourth time I have written to you , and I don’t blame you for not answering me because must sound crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of having ice-cream for dessert after dinner each night. Every night after we’ve eaten, the family votes on which flavor(味道)of ice-cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. I recently purchased a new Pantsmobile from your company and since then my trips to the store have created a problem. You see, every time I buy vanilla(香草)ice-cream my car won’t start. If I get any other kind of ice-cream , the car starts just fine. I want you to know I’m serious about this question , no matter how silly it sounds: What is there about a Pantsmobile that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice-cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?’
The Pantsmobile company president understandably doubted about the letter, but he sent an engineer there anyway. The engineer had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time, so the two got into the car and drove to the grocery store. The man bought vanilla ice-cream that night and sure enough, after they came back to the car it wouldn’t start for several minutes. The engineer returned for three more nights. The first night, the man got chocolate. The car started right away. The second night , he got strawberry and again the car started right up. The third night he bought vanilla and the car failed to start.
There must be a reason why the man’s car wouldn’t start when he bought vanilla ice-cream. What was it? After doing more research into the case, the engineer eventually found out the cause. Vanilla ice-cream was the most popular flavor and was on display in a little case near the express check out, while the other flavors were in the back of the store and took more time to choose and check out. This mattered because the man’s car was experiencing vapor(蒸汽) lock, which is excess(过度的)heat boiling the fuel in the fuel line and the resulting air bubbles (气泡) blocking the flow of fuel until the car has enough time to cool. When the car was running, there was enough pressure to move the bubbles along , but not when the car was trying to start.
32. What is the best title for the passage?
A. After Dinner Ice-cream Comes. B. After Dinner Family Votcs.
C. After Complaints Company Responds. D. After Shopping Complaints Go.
33. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “express” in paragraph 3?
A. Rapid. B. Reliable. C. Various. D. Extra.

34. What advice should the car company give to such car owners?
A. Walk to buy vanilla ice-cream every time.
B. Leave your car working when buying vanilla ice-cream.
C. Restart your car after it’s cool enough.
D. Think twice before buying vanilla ice-cream.
35. What can we learn from the text?
A. Even crazy-sounding problems are real. B. Chocolate helps fix vapor lock.
C. Whoever loves doubt can be creative. D. The customer is always right.
第二节 七选五阅读 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Should you listen to music when you work? Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they cannot work effectively with music playing in the background. ____36____ It just depends on what sort of work you’re doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab with a variety of tasks. They included an easy task — searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task — memorizing word pairs and recalling the partner to each word. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, whereas others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instrumental tracks. ____37____
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. ____38____ Contrarily, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.
____39____ Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less engaged during easier tasks, there’s a greater risk of drifting off to sleep. Music might give us the extra boost we need to get refreshed. ____40____ Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.
A. What should we make of these findings?
B. Several key findings emerged from our study.
C. However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our mental resources.
D. Our research has found that the effects of work may depend on our personalities.
E. We want to develop a more comprehensive framework that could be applied broader.
F. However, participants who listened to complex music performed best on the easy task.
G. Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these perspectives can be true.
