Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your so-workers irresistible, you’re hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?‎ A new study suggests it's because the rumors are all about us. "Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self," writes a research team led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers describe two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.‎ The first featured 178 university undergraduates who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident in which a group members shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member's secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip ("The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X"); others measured its self-promotion value ("The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X"). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns ("The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group").‎ In the second experiment,122 undergraduates were assigned the role of "sales agent" at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to participants in the first experiment.‎ In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. "Positive gossip has self-improvement value," they write. "Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one's own competence." On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride." ‎ In addition, the results "showed that negative gossip elicited self-protection concerns," the researchers write. "Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear." Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: "Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others."‎ ‎58. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?‎ A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.‎ B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.‎ C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.‎ D. We are likely to learn lessons from others’ mistakes.‎ ‎59. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?‎ A. I’ve done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.‎ B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.‎ C. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.‎ D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎60. What’s the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?‎ A. The identities of the participants.‎ B. The number of the participants studied.‎ C. The time during which the experiment lasted.‎ D. The role-play technique used in the experiment.‎ ‎61. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers?‎ ‎ A. A fear killer B. A motivator C. A protector D. A subject provider C ‎ If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline.‎ ‎ At first blush, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesn't do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though. ‎ ‎ Today's instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation(称呼语) and the signoff; we already know the “to” and “from.” Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an unobtrusive, easily -consumed message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.‎ The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era. Instantaneous(及时) written messages are different. These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these notes are invariably brief, they're a natural for smartphone typing. With these formats, you also have control over who can correspond with you, which you usually don't in e-mail. And especially on Facebook, instant messaging can take on the character of a chat room, where several people can talk at once.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎ Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. Whereas tweets and texts feel ephemeral—you read them, then they're gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.‎ ‎ So, e-mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller niche, and so will e-mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.‎ ‎ E-mail down, messaging up. Now go clean out your in-box.‎ ‎62. What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?‎ ‎ A. Contact close friends B. Send long messages【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】‎ ‎ C. Fill in some forms D. Communicate with their colleagues ‎63. Paragraphs 3-4 are important to the passage in that they _________.‎ ‎ A. illustrate the preferences of the young generation ‎ B. explain the possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail ‎ C. reveal the rapid development of e-communication channels ‎ D. offer evidence about the uncertain future of easily-consumed messages ‎64. What does the underlined word “ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean?‎ ‎ A. Conveniently-sent B. Randomly-written ‎ C. Hardly readable D. Short-lived ‎65. What does the author think of e-mail being replaced?‎ ‎ A. Negative B. Indifferent C. Ambiguous D. Doubtful D ‎ Last summer, I spent an afternoon with my daughter, Ava Scarlett. As her mother, I know about her true nature, but you can always learn new things about your child through how she makes the tough ‎ ‎ I asked, “Which would you rather have? All the Barbies (toys girls like much) or all the cake? Ava had a wrinkle formed on her nose. It wasn’t a fair question, of course, but I was curious.‎ ‎ My daughter is seven years old, and like many kids her age, she has a red-hot love of barbies. I sometimes worry about what Mattel’s plastic princess and her straight, blond hair and unrealistic measurements will don to my daughter’s developing psyche.‎ ‎ My daughter, like many kids her age, is fascinated with cakes of all kinds. But it’s not about eating them—or not solely(单独地). She wants to be the person baking amazing shapes and colors. Unblinking, her eyes shine as show watches chocolate.‎ ‎ Ava Scarlett turned, staring at me with her answer in mind. And it was good. “Why can’t we have both and share with everyone who wants?”‎ ‎ My daughter always splits her cookie in two so her brother can have some. She offers me her last bite of cucumber, even though it’s her favorite vegetable. She wants us to know how much she cares for us-each of us. and she even makes the list of loved ones who will get to have her dream cakes.‎ ‎ Truth to be told, we don’t bake a whole lot in our house. But given the opportunity, Ava Scarlett is satisfied with baking cakes for the family. Today, it’s dinner: she has declared herself in charge of beating the egg for dinner.‎ ‎ Carefully, she carries her little white chair over to the fridge. The chair isn’t heavy, and she’s now big enough to lift it easily-no more dragging it across the floor. Looking into the wire basket of brown and white eggs we keep in the fridge, Ava Scarlett has a question of her own.‎ ‎ “Can I choose any egg I want?”‎ ‎ “Of course.”‎ ‎ She takes a long moment.” I think I’ll choose a brown one, because I love my mother.” I blink----Ava Scarlett often doesn’t realize that she is also brown. I remember wanting to be a standard Barbie when I was seven, too, which is really just a way of saying, “I don’t want to feel different.”‎ ‎ I give my daughter a quick smile. She does her best and then reaches in to pick one out. I know she did so to express her love for me and our family. At this moment, I choose to accept her comment as a generous one. Ava Scarlett’s desire is for people around her to be as happy as possible. She wants things to be smooth. These days, though she’d rather be Barbie than a brown egg, she’d never want me to feel abandoned by her. This little apple hasn’t fallen very far from my tree. It’s amazing what your children mirror back.‎ ‎ I hand Ava Scarlett a fork. “Did you know that eggs come in all kinds of colors and shapes? They’re all exactly the same on the inside, though. Just like people.”‎ ‎ “I know.” She said.‎ I can almost hear the gears in her head turning my words over and around. Of course, eggs are the same on the inside, just like people, she’s thinking. I know she understands this.‎ ‎66. What made the author so worried?‎ ‎ A. That her daughter loves only Barbies and ignores other toys. ‎ ‎ B. That Barbies would have a negative effect on her daughter.‎ ‎ C. That she was too busy to be there for her daughter ‎ D. That her daughter doesn’t know how to share ‎67. How does the author’s express love to her?‎ ‎ A. By selecting a brown egg B. By sharing her cookie with her ‎ C. By giving up her favorite Barbies D. By giving good comments to please her ‎68. How does the author feel about her daughter’s egg-choosing answer?‎ ‎ A. It’s surprising but comforting B. It’s painful but understandable ‎ C. It’s bitter and disappointing D. It’s worrying and annoying ‎69. What does “She’d rather be a Barbie than a brown egg” mean?‎ ‎ A. She’d rather play toys than make the dinner.‎ ‎ B .She’s rather abandon her desire for beauty.‎ ‎ C. She’d rather change her identity as a brown girl.‎ ‎ D. She’d rather make others happy than satisfy her own needs.‎ ‎70. What would be the most appropriate title for this selection?‎ ‎ A. Mother knows best B. My daughter’s choice ‎ C. Sharing makes a better world D.

When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. Your peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.‎ ‎ Peers can have a positive influence on you. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. You might admire a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like her or him.‎ ‎ Sometimes, your peers can influence you in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to skip class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.‎ ‎ Teenagers are the most likely to fall prey to peer pressure. So, their parents and teachers should make sure they don’t submit to it. And the solution is not in isolating them from their peers.‎ ‎ It’s in teaching them to make good choices in life.‎ 写作内容：‎ ‎ 1．用约30个单词写出上文概要；‎ ‎ 2．用约120个单词就“来自同龄人的影响”这一话题谈谈你的想法，内容包括：‎ ‎ （1）哪位同龄人对你的影响最大；‎ ‎ （2）举例说明他或她对你的学习或成长的影响；‎ ‎ （3）你怎样看待同龄人之间的影响。‎ 写作要求：‎ ‎ 1．作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎ 2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。‎ ‎淮海中学2017届高三第二次阶段测试 英语试卷参考答案 ‎1—5 ABABC 6—10 ABCBA 11—15 CBBAC 16-20 CAACB ‎ ‎21-25 DDCAD 26-30CCCAC 31-35BAABA ‎36﹣40 ACDAB 41﹣45 ABCBD 46﹣50 CBACD 51﹣55 CADDB ‎56-57.DC 58--61 AADB 62-65 CBDA 66-70 BAACB 71.

They’re all hardworking, except his youngest, who is small and weak and is only interested in drawing pictures of cats. He decides his son is not meant to be a farmer and sends him to a temple to study with a religious leader instead. (17) At the temple, the boy spends all of his time drawing cats rather than studying. The religious leader tells the boy that he should be an artist, and sends him back home. Just as the boy is leaving, the leader tells him, “Don’t go into large spaces at night. Keep to small spaces instead.” (18) The boy is too ashamed to return to his father’s farm, so he travels to another temple to ask if he can stay the night. When he arrives, the temple is empty. (19) The boy begins to draw pictures of cats on the walls of the temple, but soon he begins to feel tired. He remembers the religious leader’s words and climbs inside a small cabinet to sleep.
