Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first Life Vac,a device to help save people's life,to a fire department about
18 months ago,when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices.Now about 10 Long Island fire
departments have purchased Lih's invention,which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking
victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver(海娘立克急救法)don't work.He has sold about5,00o
Life Vac devices in the United States and abroad since the device went on the market in August 2014.
The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih's clients.It bought about 25 Life Vac devices to put on trucks,as
well as in chiefs'vehicles,said Ray Maguire,the department's executive director."It's an extra tool in the toolbox."
Maguire said."I'd be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn't purchase it.It's that tool you may only need once,but
it's the tool you really want in case you need it.It's affordable.I have it in my car.I have one at home,too."

Dr.Lee Smith at Northwell Health said that if a choking victim can't breathe,he or she becomes a candidate
for the Heimlich.If the Heimlich doesn't work,the victim would probably lose consciousness because of a lack of
oxygen.
A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe.In tests,the
Life Vac successfully removed an obstruction()from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out
of 50 times,according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.
Lih invented the product in his garage,inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend's
mother was going through tests.The friend said the last time he was there,a 7-year-old child had choked to death
on a grape.
4.What's the function of the Life Vac device?
A.To put out the fire.
B.To remove foreign objects.
C.To design procedures.
D.To treat victims'throats.
5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the invention?
A.Its target users.
B.Its practical necessity.
C.Its major advantages.
D.Its reasonable price
6.What inspired Lih to invent the product?
A.A kid's death.
B.His client's suggestion.
C.A garage accident.
D.Material rewards.
7.What is the text mainly about?
A.A productive inventor
B.A convincing cure.

Livestream through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is a popular way to sell goods online.In a
session that lasts between 5 and 10 minutes,someone promotes a product.Viewers can then readily buy it by
clicking on a link.
Researchers analyzed 99,451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales
cases.
To determine the emotional expression of the salesperson,researchers used two deep learning models:a face
detection model and an emotion classification model.The face detection model discovers the presence or absence
of a face in a frame of a video stream.The emotion classifier then determines the probability that a face is
第5页/共12页

exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions:happiness,sadness,surprise,anger,fear or disgust.
We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases,so we counted
probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database.We then combined these probabilities with
other possible aspects that might drive sales-such as price and product characteristics-to judge the effect of
emotions...
We found that,perhaps unsurprisingly.when salespeople convey more negative emotions-such as anger and
disgust-the volume of sales went down.But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople
display high levels of positive emotions,such as happiness or surprise.
A likely explanation,based on our research,is that smile can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and
can reduce trust in the seller.A seller's happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the
customer's expense.
We also found that the negative effects on sales are the strongest when people express emotions in the middle
rather than at the beginning or the end of sale.A potential reason for this finding is that the middle is typically
when the salesperson offers more details about the product,and it's likely that viewers are turned off by emotions at
this point.
8.What can we know about the livestream selling goods?
A.It challenges the family business.
B.It only helps big company sell goods.
C.It is very convenient for the buyers
D.It helps the sellers develop fixed expressions.
9.How did the researchers get the findings?
A.By referring to a theory
B.By concluding different views
C.By giving some examples.
D.By analyzing previous data.
10.Why do customers dislike seller's smiles during livestream?
A.They hate seller's look.
B.They prefer complex emotions.
C.They feel cheated
D.They are so tired.
11.What's the best title for the text?
A.Livestreamers Sell Products Successfully

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry(黑莓手机)一it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with
me.I also love my laptop computer,as it holds all of my writing and thoughts.Despite this love of technology,I
know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (and truly communicate with others.
On one occasion,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers.My goals
for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.Because I want students to thoroughly study
the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom,I have a rule-no laptops,IPads,phones,etc.
When students were told my rule in advance of the class.some of them were not happy
Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students
misusing technology.There's a bit of truth to that.Some students think that I am anti-technology.There's no truth
in that at all.I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in
which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas.Interruptions by technology often break
concentration (and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.I want students to dig
deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and make
connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction
with the environment that I create.Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge,they learn at a level
that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class,but until I hear a
rally good reason for the change.I'm sticking to my plan.A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet
to give up
12.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with
A.the course material
B.others'misuse of technology
C.discussion topics
D.the author's class rules
13.The underlined word "engage"in para.4 probably means

14.According to the author.the use of technology in the classroom may
A.keep students from doing independent thinking
B.encourage students to have deep conversations
C.help students to better understand difficult themes
D.affect students'concentration on the teacher's ideas
15.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author
A.is quite stubborn in teaching
B.will give up teaching history
C.will change his teaching plan soon
D.values technology-free dialogues in his class

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with unhappy thoughts in your head?Maybe you argued
with your friend and remember everything about the argument.Perhaps you can't stop worrying about all the things
that could go wrong in an upcoming job interview.16 That's how we humans find out how to navigate
(导航)our lives.
However,sometimes this navigation system goes out of control.Repetitive thinking can make it hard to see
reality as it is,keeping us locked into bad thinking patterns()that don't work on us.17 We may lose
sleep,have less attention,or feel unhappy.What can we do instead?Manage our thoughts by using the following
ways to get good mental(精神的)health
18Taking the time to examine our repetitive thoughts and learn something from them may help
change them from something troubling to something more useful.So try accepting your thoughts,examine them
with more openness,and consider steps you can take to make things better.
Try to stay present in the moment.For example,practice paying attention to your breath and its changing
patterns.Pay attention to feelings in your body-pain,differences in temperature,and so on.19
Move outside.Rumination means getting lost in your thoughts to the point where you feel stuck.Hundreds of
studies show physical exercise can be helpful for reducing rumination.20As another study found,
walking in the woods reduced rumination more than walking along a road for the same amount of time.
A.Get some ideas.
B.Plan your future
C.When that happens,our mental health may be influenced

【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了马萨皮加的亚瑟·李在听闻了海姆立克急救法无法解救一个被葡萄噎着的7岁的孩子,最终窒息而死的事件之后,在自家车库里发明了一套救生设备,能帮助从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物,他的这套设备有效且安全,已销售5000套。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. (大约18个月前,马萨皮加的亚瑟·李把他的第一台救生设备卖给了一个消防部门,当时杰里科消防部门购买了21台这个救生设备。现在大约有10个长岛消防部门购买了李的发明,该发明旨在当海姆利克氏急救法等程序不起作用时,从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物。)”可知,李发明的 LifeVac是救生设备,用来取出窒息受害者的喉咙中的异物。故选B项。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. ‘It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,’ Maguire said. ‘I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.’ (自由港消防局是李的客户之一。该部门的执行主任雷·马奎尔说,他们购买了大约25台LifeVac设备,安装在卡车上,以及局长们的车辆上。‘这是工具箱里的一个额外工具,’马奎尔说。‘如果看到它的人不购买它,我会感到惊讶。这种工具你可能只需要一次,但它是你真正想要的工具,以防你需要它。它是负担得起的。我车里就有。我家里也有一个。’)”可知,借助于客户,宣传这个发明是一个非常实用的必需品,车上配一个,可做到有备无患。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape. (李在他的车库里发明了这款产品,灵感出自于他和一个朋友去医院,当时朋友的母亲正在做检查。这位朋友说,上次他在那里的时候,一个7岁的孩子被一颗葡萄噎死。)”可知,这个孩子被葡萄噎着了,但是去了医院也没被救回来,说明海姆立克急救法没奏效,这个孩子的死亡促成Lih发明这个救生设备。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. (现在大约有10个长岛消防部门购买了李的发明,该发明旨在当海姆利克氏急救法等程序不起作用时,从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物。)”,以及第四段“A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. (任何新型医疗设备都面临着一个挑战,那就是让潜在用户相信它是有效和安全的。根据《美国急诊医学杂志》8月份发表的一篇研究文章,在测试中,LifeVac在50次尝试中有49次成功地从死人的喉咙中移除了阻塞物。)”可知,本文介绍了Lih发明的可以防止喉咙处异物阻塞致死的一套设备。故选C项。

Livestream through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is a popular way to sell goods online. In a session that lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, someone promotes a product. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.
Researchers analyzed 99, 451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases.
To determine the emotional expression of the salesperson, researchers used two deep learning models: a face detection model and an emotion classification model. The face detection model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame of a video stream. The emotion classifier then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear or disgust.
We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases, so we counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database. We then combined these probabilities with other possible aspects that might drive sales —such as price and product characteristics—to judge the effect of emotions…
We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople convey more negative emotions—such as anger and disgust—the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople display high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise.
A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smile can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer’s expense.
We also found that the negative effects on sales are the strongest when people express emotions in the middle rather than at the beginning or the end of sale. A potential reason for this finding is that the middle is typically when the salesperson offers more details about the product, and it’s likely that viewers are turned off by emotions at this point.
8. What can we know about the livestream selling goods?
A. It challenges the family business.
B. It only helps big company sell goods.
C. It is very convenient for the buyers.
D. It helps the sellers develop fixed expressions.
9. How did the researchers get the findings?
A. By referring to a theory.
B. By concluding different views.
C By giving some examples.
D. By analyzing previous data.
10. Why do customers dislike seller’s smiles during livestream?
A. They hate seller’s look. B. They prefer complex emotions.
C. They feel cheated. D. They are so tired.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Livestreamers Sell Products Successfully
B. Expressions Affect Selling Products Online
C. Emotions and Faces: What’s the Difference
D. Smiles Can Increase the Sales in Reality
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说一篇明文。文章介绍了网络售货时,主播面部表情对网络销售效果的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.(观众可以通过点击链接来购买。)”可知,观众可以通过点击链接来购买东西,即网络购物对于消费者而言很方便。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Researchers analyzed 99, 451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases.(研究人员分析了一个直播销售平台上的99451个销售案例,并将它们与实际销售案例进行了对比。)”及全文可推断,研究人员是通过分析平台销售案例和数据得出结论的。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople convey more negative emotions—such as anger and disgust—the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople display high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise. (我们发现,当销售人员传达更多的负面情绪时——比如愤怒和厌恶——销售额就会下降,这也许并不令人意外。但我们也发现,当销售人员表现出高水平的积极情绪时,比如高兴或惊讶,也会发生类似的事情。)”和第六段“A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smile can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer’s expense.(根据我们的研究,一个可能的解释是,微笑可能很恶心,因为它缺乏真实的感觉,会降低对卖家的信任。销售者的快乐可能被认为是一种迹象,表明销售者正在以顾客的损失为代价获取利益。)”可推断,消费者不喜欢卖家在直播中微笑是因为他们觉得被骗了。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“We also found that the negative effects on sales are the strongest when people express emotions in the middle rather than at the beginning or the end of sale. (我们还发现,当人们在销售过程中表达情绪时,对销售的负面影响最大,而不是在销售开始或结束时。)”内及全文可知,文章主要介绍了网络售货时,主播面部表情对网络销售效果的影响!所以“Expressions Affect Selling Products Online(表情影响网上销售)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B 。
D
Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry (黑莓手机) — it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others.
On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a rally good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
12. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ______.
A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology
C. discussion topics D. the author’s class rules
13. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ______.
A. explore B. accept C. change D. refuse
14. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ______.
A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have deep conversations
C. help students to better understand difficult themes
D. affect students’ concentration on the teacher’s ideas
15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______.
A. is quite stubborn in teaching B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon D. values technology-free dialogues in his class
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章论述的主题是“students and technology”,文章以教师的口吻谈到不允许学生在课堂上玩ipad、手机等通讯工具是因为technology会影响深入交流和学生独立思考的能力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. (因为我想让学生们在课堂上深入地学习材料,互相交流思想,所以我有一个规定——不要使用笔记本电脑、ipad、手机等。当学生们在上课前被告知我的规定时,他们中的一些人很不高兴)”可知,在历史课上学生们不开心是因为作者的班规——不能使用电子产品。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations(我认为很少有地方可以让我们进行深入的对话)”和and可知,“engage complex ideas”和上文“have deep conversations”并列,指探索复杂的想法。由此可知,engage意为“探索”,与explore同义。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion. (技术的干扰往往会分散注意力,使想法过于依赖外部信息。我希望学生们能深入挖掘自己的灵感和想法。我希望他们以不同的方式互相思考,并在课程材料和课堂讨论之间建立联系。)”可知,作者认为在课堂上使用科技产品有碍于学生的独立思考。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. (几个小时的不受科技产品打扰的自由对话太棒了,不能放弃)”推知,作者非常重视课堂上没有科技产品的对话。故选D。

However, sometimes this navigation system goes out of control.

So try accepting your thoughts, examine them with more openness, and consider steps you can take to make things better.(花时间检查我们重复的想法,并从中吸取教训,可能有助于将它们从令人不安的事情转变为更有用的事情。所以,试着接受你的想法,以更开放的态度审视它们,并考虑你可以采取哪些措施来使事情变得更好。)”可知,本段主要讲要抱着开放的态度接受一些想法,而A项Get some ideas(接受一些想法)符合语境,对下文有总括作用。故选A项。
【19题详解】
由上文“Try to stay present in the moment. For example, practice paying attention to your breath and its changing patterns. Pay attention to feelings in your body — pain, differences in temperature, and so on.

At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff (生硬回绝) . “It’s a crow , a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “ What is this?”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “ Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?’
A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.

But now, it is my turn to do that.’’ Dad smiled proudly and they hugged each other tightly.
