Sadly, it was always that one song, which might have appeared simple but was difficult, that always annoyed（惹恼） me. These types of songs always made me 37 myself whether I could be a pianist. After dinner, I decided to come back to the 38 . Placing my fingers on the keys, I chose to play the piece carefully and 39 , paying attention to hitting the correct notes instead of trying to play the piece quickly.

I cover the top with a piece of cardboard(纸板) and hold it there. Then I turn the jar upside down and take any hand off the cardboard. Can you guess what will happen? Daniel: I think the floor will get wet. We should do this experiment outside，Simon. Sandy : I think the cardboard will hold the water. Daniel : I don't think so. Sandy : You think the water will pour out，Daniel. I think the water will stay in the jar. Let's do the experiment to test whose opinion is correct. Simon: Good idea，Sandy. That is called the scientific method. Sandy: I am so sure of my opinion that Simon can do the experiment over your head and I know you won't get wet. Daniel: Well, let's try. Simon: Are you ready, Daniel? Daniel: No! Wait!(He puts on a raincoat and sits down.) Now I think I'm ready. Sandy: Simon, take your hand off the cardboard. Daniel: No!

They’d been working for weeks on a song for Saturday’s band competition but they’d been stuck on the ending. He waved when he saw a face jogging toward him. “Hey, buddy! Ready for some hoops after school?” Liam spun and shot an imaginary ball into the air. Uh-oh. Will had forgotten all about basketball but he was dying to try out the new ending. Maybe if he had a reason to run away … “Hey, Liam,” Will said, “I don’t feel so great.” He gave a small cough for effect. “Another time?” “Sure, no problem.” Liam said. Lying was easier than I imagined. Will thought. Crash. The drum cymbal shook as Will hit it a final time. “Perfect!” Mia played her guitar with a stroke. “That sounded great, guys.” Liam came with his eyebrows raised. “Thanks,” Will said. “It was weird. I came home and suddenly felt fine.” He hoped his mind could keep up with his new lie. “I would’ve met you at the court, but then Mia stopped by, and ...” “But, Will, I didn’t stop by. You called me. Why did …” Mia said, shaking her head. “I meant that I called to, uh, ask a homework question, and ...” Will continued, coughing, “I can’t remember how it went exactly, but I’m feeling better now.” “Well, that’s good.” Liam smiled, but it was forced. He put a small case onto the couch. Will looked at it. Captain Crush, Will and Liam’s favorite movie. Before Will could think of something to say, Liam left and Mia followed. Will grabbed the movie and played it. He needed a distraction. In the movie, an evil man tricked Captain Crush, but Crush figured him out in the end, saving the town and the man too. The evil man’s little lie turned into a big mess! Will thought. Just like my lie with Liam. The next morning, Will met Liam at the bus stop. I need an excuse for what happened. Will thought. But then he remembered the evil man in Captain Crush. “I’m really sorry about lying to you yesterday. I wanted to work on my song, but I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.” “Did you come up with an ending?” Liam asked. Will nodded and Liam’s face lit up. “That’s great. You could have just told me. I know that competition is important to you.” Of course, Liam understood. “I guess the truth would have been easier, huh?” said Will. “Can we play really soon?” “What about Saturday?” Liam asked. Will hesitated (犹豫). The band competition was that night. “I really need to practice then. Is Sunday OK?” “Sure. But get ready.” Liam shot a pretend ball over Will’s head. “Swish! My three-pointer is pretty good.” Will high-fived his best friend. “That’s the truth!” 51. How did Will feel after his first lie worked? A. Thankful. B. Pleased. C. Doubtful. D. Ashamed. 52. What is Will most probably going to do? A. Say sorry to Mia as well later. B. Promise Mia that he will try his best. C. Join the basketball team with Liam. D. Watch Captain Crush with Liam again. 53. Which is the best title for this story? A. A Little Lie B. Lying Is Easier C. A Small Case D. Truth Is Easier D A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? If you answered 10 cents, you’re not alone – most people give the same answer (the correct answer is 5 cents). It’s an example of how we often rely on intuitive (直觉的) responses — answers we feel are true. People give answers that “pop into their mind,” says scientist Steven Sloman. We don’t spend much time thinking and checking whether the answer is right or wrong. The bat and ball question helps explain why we often believe in fake news. It is part of human nature to believe, says Sloman. But the trick with fake news is to know to verify – in other words, to stop and question what you know. In one experiment, Sloman invented a discovery called helium rain. They told a group of volunteers about it, but admitted they could not fully explain what it was. They then asked the volunteers to rate (划分等级) their own understanding of helium rain. Most volunteers rated themselves 1 out of 7, meaning they did not understand it. The researchers then told another group of volunteers about the discovery. This time, they said that scientists could fully explain how it works. When asked to rate their understanding, the volunteers gave an average answer of 2. The scientists’ confidence gave the volunteers an increased sense of their own understanding, Sloman says. Another explanation for the spread of fake news is “motivated reasoning,” writes Adam Waytz, a professor at the Kellogg School. We are naturally more likely to believe things that confirm our existing opinions. If you already have a negative (负面的) opinion about someone, you’re more likely to trust damaging stories about them. Over time, Waytz argues, “motivated reasoning can lead to a false social consensus (共识).” So, in a world where misleading information is common, is there a way to protect ourselves? “I don’t think it’s possible to train individuals to verify everything that they face,” Sloman admits. “It is just too human to believe what you’re told.” However, training people to care about fact-checking is important, he argues, especially in online communities. Think of the headlines and stories that are shared on your social media feed every day. Probably these fit in with your own worldview – but perhaps not all of them are true. “Develop a standard in your community that says, ‘We should check things and not just take them at face value,’” Sloman says. “Verify before you believe.” 54. What does the underlined word “verify” mean in this passage? A. take a close look at something B. think about something for a long time C. make sure something is true D. express an opinion about something 55. Which of the following is an example of “motivated reasoning”? A. You post a message online that gives your opinion about a news story. B. You understand why your classmate is late every day because he has many excuses. C. You don’t believe the negative news about a player because he plays for your favourite team. D. You’re not sure if a story on social media is true, so you search online for more information. 56. The following paragraph can best go after __________. According to Sloman, studies show that knowledge spreads like a disease. “If everyone around you is saying they understand why a well-known person is lying, then you’re going to start thinking that you understand, too.” Sloman says. A. Paragraph 4 B. Paragraph 5 C. Paragraph 6 D. Paragraph 7 57. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward intuitive responses? A. Supportive. B. Against. C. Worried. D. Unknown. 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 58. The flat is very __________(中央的)—just ten minutes from Wanfu Bridge. 59.

Chen is a member of Zhejiang Xiaobaihua, one of China’s most famous Yueju Opera groups. Born and raised in Shengzhou, Zhejiang, the birthplace of Yueju Opera, Chen began studying the art form at 13. Yueju Opera is famous for its feminine style, as most of its performers are women. With her tall height and bright character, Chen’s teachers encouraged her to play xiaosheng roles or young male characters, said News China magazine. Chen is known and loved by people for her reversed (反串的) role in New Dragon Gate Inn (《新龙门客栈》), a Yueju Opera show. In the show, Chen plays the male role of Jia Ting. Called the “Jade-faced Man (玉面郎君)”, Jia has a handsome look and great charm. In her acting, Chen brings out the chemistry with her costars. For example, with just one arm, she spins a costar around easily. Chen sees her role as a mix of both female and male charms while having a strange sense of beauty. Her performance is helping bring new life and more audiences (观众) to this ancient art form. “At first, most of the audience were common opera fans. But later, newcomers to theater, many of them young people, began showing up,” Chen told China Daily. “Traditional Chinese opera must be passed on, but more importantly, it needs to be brought to a wider audience,” Chen wrote online on April 12. 78.
