It won’ t be long.”‎ He passed the mother again in the candy aisle. Of course, the little girl began to shout for candy. When she was told she couldn’t have any, she began to cry. The mother said, “There, there, Ellen, don’t cry. Only two more aisles to go, and then we’ll be checking out.”‎ The man again happened to be behind the pair at the check-out, where the little girl immediately began to cry for gum (橡皮糖) and burst into a terrible anger upon discovering there would be no gum purchased today. The mother said, “Ellen, we’ll be through this check out stand ‎ in five minutes, and then you can go home and have a nice nap.”‎ The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the woman to compliment her. “I couldn’t help noticing how patient you were with little Ellen…”‎ The mother broke in, “My little girl’s name, is Tammy… I’m Ellen.”‎ ‎24.

For decades now, film studios have used so-called test screenings to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out. While test audience members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the film studio what they liked and didn’t like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.‎ According to a paper published this summer by the company’s researchers, Disney is measuring test audience’s reactions by using special cameras placed inside cinemas. Pairing the cameras with custom software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to joy. This works by mapping 68 different points on each audience member’s face. The cameras can see in the dark, and the software can figure out a person’s mood based on the slightest of facial expressions.‎ It’s hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movie’s over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.‎ Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well-known movies have been greatly altered following feedback. Viewers of E. T, the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it weren’t for its test audience’s feedback. “In one cut of the film that was tested, E. T. died instead of going home in his spaceship. You won’t be surprised to hear that the test audience in question didn’t warm to this ending at all.” wrote media website Den of Geek.‎ But for those who are concerned about privacy, the cameras won’t be installed in public cinemas. After all, unless you’re part of a test audience, being in front of the camera is best left to the movie stars.‎ ‎28. Why are test screenings necessary?‎ A. To amuse us. B. To influence a movie.‎ C. To gel reactions of the audience. D. To spy on the audience.‎ ‎29. How does the high-tech method work?‎ A. Audiences recall their detailed feelings. ‎ B. The cameras can read accurate feedback from the audience.‎ C. The company can track each audience member.‎ D. The cameras are measuring audience’s reactions.‎ ‎30. What do we know about E. T?‎ A. It doesn’t warm the audience. B. It altered audience’s feedback.‎ C. The original ending is different. D. E. T died in his spaceship.‎ ‎31. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. People worry about privacy.‎ B. The cameras won’t be put in public cinemas.‎ C. The technology of test screenings is reliable. ‎ D. You can be in front of the camera.‎ D The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up (累计) $ 100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.‎ To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.‎ The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2016 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2016, the most common living arrangement for young adults was living in their own property as part of a couple. UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave. The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors (导师). In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said “Although job growth for millennials has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are starting to fly the nest. They may like living at home and being able to save money.”‎ He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on certain things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values, it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”‎ ‎32. What’s the purpose of Caitlin Hipp’s story?‎ A. To prove the author’s view. B. To introduce her situation.‎ C. To present the topic. D. To make readers rethink about the problem.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined part (Paragraph 1) probably refer to?‎ A. live with parents B. live independently C. stay at home D. leave home ‎34. According to Hoffman, which of the following is true?‎ A. It isn’t necessary for millennials to leave the nest.‎ B. They can spend less money on their daily life.‎ C. Moral values are changing gradually.‎ D. Young adults are living in a different life style.‎ ‎35. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Why is the number of the millennial growing steadily? ‎ B. Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?‎ C. Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?‎ D. Why do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?‎ 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。‎ ‎“Jane Eyre” was published in 1847.

When Jane was younger, she had a tendency to feel sorry for herself. 40 But as she gets older, she learns to be happy despite her past.‎ A. You can decide your life.‎ B. The possibilities for life are endless for those who take risks.‎ C. Talking also helps heal relationships as well.‎ D. Her cousin, John, is the worst.‎ E.
