B..$240. C..$120. D.$90.‎ ‎23.In which section of a newspaper may this passage appear?‎ A.Entertainment. B.Sport. C.Education. D.Advertisement.‎ B Imagine being handed a fake(假的）pill by your doctor to treat an illness.You would be pretty mad if you found out the pill was not a real medication,wouldn't you?Better yet,imagine the doctor tells you the pill is fake.At that point,you'd probably question whether the doctor even knows his staff at all.But wait,there's more to the story.‎ Ted Kaptchuk of Harvard University conducted an experiment to help treat irritable bowel syndrome(肠过敏性综合征）pain in 2010,in which he clearly marked the patients 'pills as ＂placebo"(安慰剂），or fake.Unbelievably,the group that was aware that it was receiving the placebo reported significant improvement in their condition.‎ Many of you probably know about the placebo effect.It's the idea that giving patients an ineffective treatment -such as a sugar pill-for their condition might actually produce beneficial effects.‎ Why does it work? We don't really know.One theory is that the placebo causes your brain to have a response that flows down to other parts of the body.Placebos presented as stimulants（兴奋剂）tend to increase the heart rate and blood pressure,and those presented as depressants do the opposite.‎ In fact,the placebo effect can be compared to the experience of watching a horror movie. Although you know that what you're seeing isn't actually real,you most likely experience some pretty real effects such as increase in the heart rate and sweating.‎ Kaptchuk's work differed from the traditional placebo effect,in that he told the patients that the pill they were receiving was not real medicine.When the patients have this knowledge,the term"open-label placebo”is used.The resulting improvement' proved that in many cases, patients don't need to be tricked in order for the desired effects of a placebo to take place.In fact, the fake medication helped some patients so much that they requested additional pills after the experiment was over.‎ Of course,the natural question is:was this an extraordinary medical phenomenon,or just plain luck?That's why Kaptchuk and his team are attempting to do a seven-week trial before introducing the results to cancer survivors to treat severe tiredness caused by the aftereffects of the disease.‎ ‎24.The first paragraph of the article implies that_‎ A.doctors have poor medical ethics B.fake medicines are sold in hospitals C.patients don't really trust doctors D.we may have a wrong idea of fake pills ‎25.According to the passage,"the placebo effect"refers to the idea of A.taking fake pills to feel much better ‎ B.using sugar pills to treat the patients ‎ C.benefiting patients with real medicines ‎ D.treating patients in an ineffective way ‎ ‎26.What is the writer going to discuss next?‎ A.Why does the placebo effect work in real life? ‎ B.How will they carry out the seven-week trial?‎ C.Will a fake medication really exist in the world?‎ D.Are patients being totally treated with fake pills?‎ C Under Ohio law,a driver can have 12 points' worth of violations within two years before his license is automatically suspended(失效）。That is,he could be caught going 30 miles over the limit three times or cause several accidents resulting in careless-driving charges before losing the right to drive.Should he commit vehicular manslaughter(驾车过失杀人），his license would be suspended,but he could get it back in as little as six months.Other states have similarly forgiving laws.Considering that 94 percent of crashes involve some form of driver error or injury immediately before crashes you have to wonder.Are we too tolerant of bad driving-or is the problem more basic?Are we,as humans,simply not suitable for the task? ‎ According to one analysis,4 million of the nearly 11 million crashes that occur yearly could ‎ potentially be avoided if distractions(使人分心的事物）were removed.But instead,we actively seek out distractions,like texting.Analysis of 28 studies confirms that typing or reading on our phones while driving badly affects reaction time,vehicle control,and,yes,collision rate.Some researchers have concluded that texting while driving may cause more of an accident risk than driving either under the influence of marijuana(大麻）or at the legal alcohol limit.And,contrary to a generally accepted idea,teenagers aren't the primary offenders:A survey of more than 2,000 adults suggests that they are just as likely as teens to have texted behind the wheel,and much more likely to have talked on their cellphone.‎ That isn't to say we're all equally bad in the driver's seat.Perhaps unsurprisingly,people who report becoming angry while driving are more likely than others to behave recklessly(不计 后果地）on the road.So are people who drive fancy cars. In one pair of studies,researchers observed that drivers of expensive cars were less likely than those with older,less expensive,or beat-up vehicles to give way to other drivers and pedestrians.‎ ‎ Driverless cars are looking better and better.They won't text with each other,or get angry.And they won't cut you off just for the hell of it.‎ ‎27.If a driver is going 70 mph in a 40 mph zone in Ohio,how many points may he lose? ‎ A.10 points. B.8 points. C.6 points. D.4 points.‎ ‎28.Which of the following causes the most accidents according to Paragraph 2? ‎ A.Texting while driving.‎ B.Driving at the legal alcohol limit.‎ C.Talking on a cellphone while driving.‎ D.Driving under the influence of marijuana.‎ ‎29.Which of the following statements is True according to Paragraph 3?‎ A.People driving older vehicles are more likely to behave recklessly. ‎ B.People driving fancy cars are more likely to behave recklessly.‎ C.People driving beat-up vehicles are more likely to behave recklessly.‎ D.People driving less expensive vehicles are more likely to behave recklessly.‎ ‎30.What might be the author's attitude to driverless cars? ‎ A.Cautious. B.Doubtful. C.Uninterested. D.Supportive.‎ D As prices drop and their functionality expands,you can expect to see humanoid(类人的）robots in more places,including schools,airports,and hospitals.Will they influence human behavior?‎ In a study published recently,scientists found that mean robots can help people concentrate.The experiment,published in Science Robotics,was based on something called the Stroop Task, which is widely used in psychology and described as the"gold standard"of attentional tests.It challenges participants to name the colors of words and ignore their meanings while calculating ‎ reaction time.‎ The researchers put a modern twist on the task ,though-this time, there was a robot in the room. The goal was to see if the presence of a robot would affect cognition(认知），and the researchers found it did, but only when the robot was mean.‎ How do you make a robot mean? In this case ,a meter-tall toy robot called a Meccanoid G15KS was made to respond to seven questions. The good robots told jokes, spoke about friendship, and described test subjects as nice. The bad robots replied to questions with passive aggressive comebacks, such as" I enjoy doing analysis programs but you would not understand" and statements like "I do not value friendship. "Then the participants rated the robots. "The more participants thought the robot made them uncomfortable, the greater the improvement of their Stroop performance was, "the researchers wrote. "Not surprisingly, the bad robot was rated as less warm, friendly and pleasant than the good robot."‎ The study authors argue that robots are crossing the line in some situations from machines to social agents. That will change how humans interact with(与。，，相互作用） and behave around them.‎ ‎“Similar to a human's presence, the presence of a robot might not be neutral(无倾向性的）1n situations like school or in the office when you are working. "Nicolas Spatola, one of the study authors said in an email," So before your boss decides to introduce a robot in your office,1t could be a good idea to evaluate how you feel about it and how it can positively or negatively impact your work, how comfortable you may feel with it or if you feel it to be a threat."‎ Just 58 students from University Clermont Auvergne in France participated in the experiment but the researchers found an increase in the speed of correct answers among those in the presence of a mean robot when compared to those who were with a nice robot or alone.‎ In the future ,robots will almost certainly become more and more common in nursing homes, hotel check-in desks, behind the wheel, and elsewhere. “If we want to improve the use of robots in our daily life ,there seems to be a need to first understand how Human Robot Interaction can impact human psychology,”Spatola said.‎ ‎31.What was the finding of the new study?‎ A. The use of robots is rising.‎ B. Humanoid robots can be mean.‎ C. Unkind robots can sharpen our focus.‎ D. Robots are becoming more functional.,.‎ ‎32.According to the passage, how did the participants judge the robots?‎ A. By their words.‎ B .By their actions.‎ C. By their appearance.‎ D .By the Stroop Task.‎ ‎33.Which of the following might Nicolas Spatola agree with?‎ A. Be careful about using robots.‎ B. Leave the robot if it presents a threat.‎ C. Robots will have a good impact on offices.‎ D. Robots may replace humans in the workplace.‎ ‎34.What was the drawback of the study?‎ A. The participants were too young.‎ B. The study method wasn't scientific.‎ C. There was a slight difference in speed.‎ D. The number of the participants was too small.‎ ‎35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Scientists have already developed humanoid robots.‎ B. Humanoid robots have already found its way into our daily life.‎ C. Humanoid robots will certainly come into our daily life sooner or later.‎ D. There is no difficulty we'll meet with before humanoid robots are widely used.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。‎ When going to a foreign country, you often enter a new culture. The differences between Cultures may make you feel stressed and you often find it difficult to adjust to the new environment, which is usually called" culture shock”。‎ The psychological and physical symptoms of culture shock may appear depending on the individuals. Some often feel anxious while adapting to a new culture-even more so when the cultural distances are wide. 36 They remain so homesick and feel so sad about being separated from their friends back home that they long to return, especially within the first year. ‎ ‎37 People adjusting to a new culture often feel lonely because the language barrier makes it hard to create new relationships .Moreover, having trouble with the native ‎ language often makes them unwilling to communicate with other people.‎ ‎38_You may do some research on the cultural aspects of the new country such as the history, customs ,and religious beliefs ,rather than on what to see and where to go, so you may get prepared for a culture that is different from yours .Studying the language is also a great way to help bridge the gap between the cultures. 39‎ A local club provides the perfect environment to get to know people who have a similar focus so join one so that you can meet some locals and develop new friendships. 40 There are other ‎ travelers who have the same experiences in a foreign country. Talk with them, sharing feelings, tips and insight.‎ A. They may lose appetite and have sleep problems.‎ B. Still ,the most important change is communication.‎ C. They make a lot of effort to get used to the new environment.‎ D. The more of it is understood, the more of the new culture can be understood. ‎ E. Learning about your future destination is a great way to get over culture shock.‎ F. Plus, remember that you aren't alone in your struggle to adjust in a new country.‎ G. Actually ,staying in a foreign country helps you to know more of the new culture.‎ 第三部分：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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I normally would have avoided him — a worn-down man playing a game of cards at a table in the play area of a local fast-food restaurant.
