It is commonly seen that salespersons in shopping centers always wear big smiles throughout the whole process. But according to a new study in Germany, forcing people to be happy and polite all the time is likely to make them sick. Most at risk are air hostesses, shop assistants,restaurant waiters and other workers in close contact with the public. Professor Dicter Zapf, a researcher of human emotions at Frankfurt University, said false friendliness led to depression, stress and a lowering of the immune system. This can lead to more serious illness such as high blood pressure, heart disease and some mental problems."Every time a person is forced to control his true feelings, there are negative consequences for his health,"said Professor Dieter Zapf. In order to reach these conclusions, for over two years, 4,000 volunteers including shop workers and air hostesses, were put in an imaginary call center and treated badly by customers. Some of the participants were allowed to answer back, while others had to be polite and friendly all the time, Those who faced clients with true feelings had a rapid heartbeat for a brief period, but for those who had to remain friendly, their heart was still beat fast long after the clients had hung up phones. The conclusion reached by the researchers was that being friendly against one?s will causes nothing but stress. These people need space away from the clients where they can be on their own and let their feelings run free. We have to get away from the ‘customer is king' attitude and show more respect to those working in the service industries. "said Professor Dieter Zapf. 28. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. Forced politeness can make workers sick. B. Air hostess is regarded as a risky job. C. People in shopping centers always smile. D. Shop assistants keep in contact with clients. 29. According to Professor Dicter Zapf, which health problem can false friendliness bring? A. Headache B. Mental disorders.gillsinl C. Stomachache. D. High blood pressure. 30. What can we learn from the experiment in the text? A. Those allowed to answer back had a slow heartbeat. B. The participants have to be polite and friendly all the time. C. Those forced to remain polite are likely to have heart problems. D. Air hostesses should be allowed to lose their temper on long flights. 31. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To tell people to take the "customer is king" attitude. B. To appeal to people to respect those in service industries. C. To persuade people out of working in service industries. D. To remind people in service industries to control their emotions. D The ocean is coming for us. Global sea levels are now rising by 3.6 millimeters per year,up from an average rate of 1.4 mm per year last century. In just 80 years, the ocean could be more than I meter taller than it is today. That's according to a report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which updated the scientific predictions for Earth's oceans and cryosphere(冰层).Sea levels are now rising more than twice as quickly as they were last century, the report concludes, and they're still accelerating. Sea levels will continue rising for centuries no matter what we do, the report's authors warn, but we can still influence how far and fast they rise. They might only rise 30 to 60 centimeters by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions are sharply reduced, but might rise 60 to 110 cm by 2100 if emissions continue rising as they are today. A separate research team reached a similar more alarming conclusion. Scientists with Climate Central found that three times more coastal residents will be affected by high-tide flooding and sea-level rise than previously thought. Their October 2019 report estimated that areas where 200 million people currently live could fall permanently below the high tide line by 2100. This kind of sea change can be hard to understand, unless you live in a low-lying place like Miami, the Maldives or the Marshall Islands, where the effects of sea-level rise are already apparent. But within just a few decades, the problem will become unavoidable in major coastal cities around the world, from New Orleans, New York and Amsterdam to Calcutta,Bangkok and Tokyo. We all know why this is happening. Rising seas are one effect of climate changes. Yet many people still see it as a distant risk, failing to grasp how quickly the sea is swallowing shores worldwide. And since half of all humans now live within 60 kilometers of a coast, this isn't an easy issue. 32. According to the report of IPCC. A. the sea level is still rising at a fast speed B. the sea is 1 meter taller than it was 80 years ago C. data of oceans and cryosphere need to be updated D. the rising speed now is the same as that in the past 33. People in which place have been affected by sea-level rise? A. Calcutta, Bangkok and Tokyo. B. Miami, Maldives and New Orleans. C. New Orleans, New York and Amsterdam, D. Miami, the Maldives and the Marshall Islands. 34. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Climate changes contribute greatly to sea-level rise. B. People should regard sea-level rise as a distant risk. C. Half of the world populations are affected by sea-level rise. D. People living near the coast should move away immediately. 35. What's the author's purpose in writing this text? A. To offer some data of sea-level rise. B. To arouse people's concern about sea-level rise. C. To show greenhouse gas leads to sea-level rise. D. To introduce a scientific report of sea-level risie. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Laughter is a nonverbal emotional expression. No sound is more universal than laughter.There are no language or cultural barriers for it._ 36 Babies don't,need to have seen or heard laughter to know how to do it. What we express with laughter is joy. 37 According to a scientific paper published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, people are 30 times more likely to laugh if they are with someone else than if they are alone. Science is clear that laughter is good for us. When we laugh, levels of stress hormone go down.38 One study even suggests it's a good add-on to the treatment of stress and depression. Studies have also shown that laughter is useful for people coping with both physical and emotional pain. The connection likely comes back to the fact that laughing releases endorphins(安多芬)，which relax the whole body. Humor could be the distraction you need to get through a tough time. 39 According to a Vanderbilt University study, laughing for 10 to 15 minutes can increase your heart rate and oxygen consumption enough to burn 40 calories. That may pale in comparison to an actual workout, but it's not too shabby as a side effect of enjoying yourself. Laughter is good for our brain. Research from Loma Linda University shows that laughing improves the short-term memory of adults in their 60s and 70s. In a randomized controlled trial, participants who watched funny videos had 44% better recall' ability than participants who were asked to sit quietly-a pretty remarkable difference! So next time you feel the urge to laugh out, don't hold back. And if you need something to get the giggles going, consider spending time with people who bring you joy. _40 A. Laughter burns calories. B. It might even add years to your life! C. But it's not something we do intentionally. D. Everyone everywhere understands the concept. E. This leads us to feel happier and more relaxed. F. Most laughter happens as part of social interactions. G. But it's a social joy mainly experienced with other people. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Susan Greenstein was a high school senior, her English teacher, Fred DiMeo, gave her a_41 assignment: 42 a poem in front of the whole class.
