The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails arc automatically recorded -- and can come back to haunt (困扰）you -- appears to be the key to the finding.‎ Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 80 students to keep a communication diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent of phone calls.‎ His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April，have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触）of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.‎ But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.‎ People are also more likely to lie in real time—in an instant message or phone call, say— than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的）responses to an unexpected demand, such as： “Do you like my dress?”‎ Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority,‎ ‎ might be best done using email.‎ ‎21. Why are people more honest when using email?‎ A. Because it takes more time to think than to speak.‎ B. Because lies in emails may do harm to their credit.‎ C. Because of the detachment of emailing.‎ D. Because they are practiced to be more honest in emailing.‎ ‎22. Which of the following is contrary to people’s common beliefs?‎ A. Emails contain more lies than other communication media.‎ B. Face-to-face communication contains more lies.‎ C. Face-to-face communication contains more lies because it is not recorded.‎ D. Deception makes people uncomfortable, which reduces mistakes in phone calls.‎ ‎23. What does the phrase “to stretch the truth” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. to tell the truth B. to understate something C. to overestimate something D. to deceive people ‎ (B)‎ Dear 17-year-old self,‎ When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow, you need to figure out a way to invest in the future of your family. This sounds simple, and you may think it's a no-brainer, but take some time to think on it further. I said INVEST. I did not say GIVE. Let me explain.‎ ‎ Purely giving material things to your siblings（兄弟姐妹）may appear to be the right decision. So you buy them a car, a big house, and pay all of their bills. You want them to live a beautiful, comfortable life, right?But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back.‎ ‎ You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good, it made You happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world—and that was extremely selfish of you. While you were feeling satisfied with yourself, you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives, but subtracting the most precious gifts of all.‎ ‎ Invest in their future, don't just give.Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose. Put them through school, set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right. Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now, and where you will eventually go.‎ ‎ I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately, and so that you don't have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning (断绝) them off the addiction that you facilitated. That addiction only leads to anger, hatred and jealousy from everybody involved, including yourself.‎ ‎ As time goes on, you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives, and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.‎ Trust me, setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache, some of which remains to this day.‎ ‎ Much love,‎ ‎ Kobe ‎24．What might be the best title of this letter?‎ ‎ A．To My Younger Self B．For My Dear Family ‎ C．To My Beloved Son D．For My Older Self ‎25．What may be "the most precious gifts of all" in Paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A．Independence and growth. B．Wealth and health.‎ ‎ C．Love and dedication. D．Success and leadership.‎ ‎26．What can we infer from this letter?‎ ‎ A．The writer will stop offering his siblings help in the future.‎ ‎ B．The writer didn't think it a good fortune to become successful early.‎ ‎ C．The writer intends to remind others not to care too much about materials.‎ ‎ D．The writer was once troubled by the relationship between him and his family.‎ ‎ (C)‎ Until recently, the University of Kent prided itself on its friendly image. Not any more. Over the past few months it has been working hard, with the help of media consultants, to downplay its cozy reputation in favor of something more academic and serious.‎ Kent is not alone in considering an image revamp (翻新). Changes to next year's funding regime (制度）are both forcing universities to justify charging students up to ‎9,000 in fees.‎ Nowadays, universities putting much more of a focus on their brands and what their value propositions are. While in the past universities have often focused on students' social life and attractions of the university town in recruitment campaigns, they are now concentrating on more tangible attractions, such as employment prospects, engagement with industry, and lecturer contact hours, making clear exactly what students are going to get for their money.‎ The problem for universities is that if those benefits fail to materialize, students notice. That worries Rob Behrens, chief executive of the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) , which deals with student complaints. “Universities need to be extremely careful that... they describe the reality of what's going to happen to students,” he says. “Because competition is going to get greater for attracting students，there is a danger that universities will go the extra mile.” ‎ One university told prospective engineering students they would be able to design a car and race it at Brands Hatch, which never happened, he says. “If universities spent as much money on handling complaints and appeals appropriately as they spend on marketing, they would do better at keeping students, and in the National Student Survey returns,” he says.‎ Ongoing research by Heist tracking prospective 2012 students suggests that they are not only becoming more sophisticated in thinking about what they want from a university, but are also spending more time researching evidence to back up institutional claims.‎ Hence the growing importance of the student survey and league tables. From next September, all institutions will also be expected to publish on their websites key information sets, allowing easier comparison between institutions—and between promises and reality—of student satisfaction levels, course information, and the types of jobs and salaries graduates go on to.‎ As a result, it is hardly surprising that universities are beginning lo change the way they market themselves. While the best form of marketing for institutions is to be good at what they do, they also need to be clear about how they are different from others. And it is vital that once an institution claims to be particularly good at something, it must live up to it. The moment you position yourself, you become exposed because you have played your joker, and if you fail in that you are in trouble.‎ ‎27. What are universities putting their focus on to attract students?‎ A. A friendly reputation. B. Student funding.‎ C. Students' social life. D. Practical benefits.‎ ‎28. According to Behrens, which of the following may NOT be the consequences if students’ complaints are not dealt well with?‎ A. Universities may not be able to attract prospective students.‎ B. Students will become more sophisticated.‎ C. It will do harm to the reputation of the universities.‎ D. Universities may not be able to keep students.‎ ‎29. Rob Behrens suggests universities do in marketing themselves EXCEPT _____. ‎ A. make high promises to attract students B. establish their own strengths C. show graduates，career perspective D. show their feature courses ‎30. What does the word “joker” refer to?‎ A. A person who are good at communication.‎ B. A thing that cannot be predicted.‎ C. The best thing that people cannot afford to lose.‎ D. A card that can be matched to any card.‎ ‎ (D)‎ 第二节：（七选五）根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ There have been a lot of comments recently surrounding ‎5G, the next generation of wireless technology. 31 How might it change our lives?‎ ‎5G‎ stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current ‎4G system. Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity(容量). 32 It is expected to permit more users to do more things at a faster rate.‎ However, technology experts say there is a major way that ‎5G is different from the earlier systems. 33 It will affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions. ‎5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by connecting sensor networks. ‎5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality(虚拟现实). Higher ‎5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use ‎5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.‎ ‎ 34 The increased data flow across ‎5G networks would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a ‎5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety. 35 or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash.‎ A. Why is ‎5G so popular?‎ B. What is this technology?‎ C. Every coin has two sides.‎ D. The new ‎5G system promises more of the same.‎ E. It will move beyond mobile network technology.‎ F. A breakdown of ‎5G networks may cause economic losses.‎ G. A failure during a doctor’s remote operation could lead to death.‎ III. 完形填空：（满分30分，每小题1.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项 We live in a heavily edited world.

So he pulled up and got out of his car.Even with the smile on his face,she was worried.He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. The man could see that she was frightened and knew how she felt.So he said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” ‎ Her car had broken down but it was easily fixed. As he was tightening up the tire, she rolled down the window and told him that she couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid. Then the lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. He replied, “If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do:Do not let this chain of love end with you.”He waited until she started her car and drove off. ‎ A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café. She went in to grab a bite to eat,and take the chill off. It was a dull-looking restaurant.Outside were two old gas pumps. The waitress came over with a sweet smile on her face. The old lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight-month pregnant, but she never let the strain(劳累) and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.‎ After the lady finished her meal,she paid with a $100 bill.
