But I wanted to look at what sewing actually means at an individual level,as well as a more global level." We notice the invention of electricity and countless other creations-but sewing,despite the fact that we couldn't go about our daily lives without it,is often overlooked.When I ask Barbara why the story of sewing is largely untold,she has some insight. "Mostly because it's connected so thoroughly with women,and women have always been,as it were,'second rate',"she explains."We've also lived with this quite false separation between working with our brains and working with our hands.So manual work is thought of as secondary to head work.But,in fact,our hands,and particularly our sense of touch,give us such a huge amount of information in the world.Countless studies have confirmed how beneficial crafts can be for our mental health and well-being." 24.What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 imply? A.Sewing may cause physical injury to sewists. B.Sewing is rooted in people's life for a long time. C.Sewing holds a deep meaning for sewing lovers. D.Sewing is popular with a large number of people. 25.What's mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A.How Barbara's parents taught her to sew. B.What sewing meant to the general public. C.How Barbara got interested in sewing. D.What family environment Barbara grew up in. 26.Why is the story of sewing ignored according to Barbara? A.Women and manual work are undervalued. B.People take no interest in the history of sewing C.Sewing is not as important as other inventions. D.People prefer technology rather than hand-craft. 27.What does Barbara think of sewing? A.It is a dying craft. B.It is a secondary job. C.It is a dangerous practice. D.It is a rewarding skill When discussions are getting heated,divisions on opinions potentially lead to some awkward moments.This causes many of us to struggle with how to convince people to change their minds and how to argue our side effectively.Unfortunately,we've already become quite divided. One study showed that when people receive information against their beliefs,their brains aren't as active as when they receive information that confirms their beliefs.Humans have a well-documented bias()called the "confirmation bias",which is a tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing views and to avoid information that disconfirms them. Throwing data at people isn't at all effective in changing minds and especially hearts.Instead,people just find it super annoying.Luckily,research has provided some guidance about best practices,and,not surprisingly,they all suggest what our parents have been telling us for decades:You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.In fact,it tumns out that instead of citing why you are right and someone else is wrong in a beated conversation,one of the most effective strategies you can use for changing somcone's mind is to find areas where you agree. Another thing we can do is to be open to other perspectives.We can start by acknowledging our own confirmation bias and making a conscious effort to override it.We can also try to take other people's perspectives. And better yet-ask them for it.Ask them why they feel the wny they do and what would change their mind.Be open to admitting that you could be wrong and make it easy for others to admit their own mistakes. 厦门双十中学高三（上）英语开学阶段检测卷共8夏第3页 Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 Finally,make new friends-friends that are different from you.Make your bias a disconfirmation bias;in other words,when you have an opinion on something,don't just read information that confirms it.Instead,make an effort to find information that could potentially prove you wrong.If you were right all along,this exercise will only make your arguments stronger.If you were wrong,your mind will have been opened up to new ideas.Either way, this kind of open-mindedness will give you a brand-new perspective on life,and you might even make some unlikely new friends in the process. 28.Which can illustrate "confirmation bias"? A.We tend to welcome different ideas B.We accept messages from the others. C.We argue against points of disagreement. D.We prefer information in line with our views 29.What does the underlined word"honey"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Following advice. B.Sharing common ground. C.Admitting mistakes. D.Blocking different ideas. 30.How can we benefit from our bias according to the last paragraph? A.By letting go of our own opinion. B.By making arguments more reliable. C.By opening up minds to new friends. D.By securing information opposite to ours. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.How to negotiate with others B.Why it's so hard to change hearts and minds C.How to shift minds in polarized communication D.Why open-mindedness is effective in conversations D The concept of dynamic pricing is simple-and easy for businesses to implement.Whether it's a Friday-evening flight,a hotel during the holidays,or a taxi ride in a downpour,we have all been bumed by higher-than-normal prices due to excess demand.Raising costs when businesses are busiest is the norm across the travel industry.Perhaps the most well-known example of this is within ride-share companies,which have used surge pricing for years to charge riders when demand for cars rockets relative to the number of drivers available. Outside travel,online stores are increasingly using this dynamic pricing,too,says Vomberg."On Amazon.com alone,millions of price changes occur within a day,corresponding to a price change of about every ten minutes for each product."While consumers might not always pick up on these variations in price,Vomberg says time-based dynamic pricing will likely become a competitive standard at least in online markets."AI-enabled tools can suggest the best prices via machine learning algorithms )They can also track and learn competitor and customer responses to price changes,"he says. Now,surge pricing is happening in stores including bars and supermarkets as well."Physical businesses are adopting electronic shelf labels that enable real time price adjustments depending on the time of day,stock levels and whether items are approaching their sell-by date,"says Sarwar Khawaja,chairman of the Oxford Education Group.He says this technology is likely to cause prices in bars that use these signs to increase during the rushes of dinner,weekends or holidays,or for supermarkets to adjust prices throughout the day or week,depending on volume of shoppers. The current economic climate is also driving the need for these pricing technologies.While creating competitive prices is always key to healthy profit margins,Khawaja says dynamic pricing enables businesses to optimise their pricing depending on the financial situations of their customer base."Businesses can offer discounts during downturns,while increasing prices in better off areas,"he says. The changes,however,may not sit well with consumers."Dynamic and surge pricing will likely expand to more industries and more companies in the long term,but just because a product may be popular does not mean' that customers are willing to tum a blind eye to being charged more,"says Khawaja.He adds surge pricing can 厦门双十中学高三（上）英语开学阶段检测卷共8页够4更 Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 cause customers to lose faith in a company if they believe they are being overcharged."Perhaps dynamic pricing of a drink in your favourite pub might be a step too far for loyal customers." 32.Which of the following best explains"dynamic pricing"in paragraph 1? A.A system of deciding what the prices should be. B.A means for companies to find target customers. C.A method that helps promote sharing economy. D.A strategy of offering discounts to attract clients. 33.It can be inferred from Ard Vomberg's comments that online stores A.offer the most competitive prices B.make profits by changing prices in real time C.confuse customers by changing prices D.rely too much on machine leaming algorithms 34.According to the passage,why do physical businesses adopt dynamic pricing? A.To match supply and demand during peak hours. B.To lift customer experience and encourage loyalty. C.To maintain consistent pricing across all products. D.To compete with online stores and businesses 35.Which of the following best predicts how customers may react to the expansion of dynamic pricing? A.Tum to whatever offers the lowest prices. B.Protest against it for being too annoying. C.Refuse to give in and are likely to resist. D.Take it for granted and accept it altogether. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Historically,CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies.Today's CEOs,however,are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage.36 It's a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship.This is a function not only of CEOs'economic power,but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people.37.How can they maximize their impact? First,a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues.38.The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful.More than ever,they are expected to share their views,to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress,Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer,but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable(可有可无的). 39.A CEO shouldn't make a statement about every news headline.Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths.This invites missteps and the loss of authority.Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important.Only by focusing on what lies in their depths,interests and values,can they make a meaningful contribution. Finally,a CEO should act as a catalyst (for change.40.Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts.When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern,it must be backed by concrete actions.For example,if they are keen on green development,they can take measures to reduce their firms'carbon footprint. By speaking out on critical issues,leading with purpose,and acting as catalysts for change,CEOs can help lead society towards a better future. A.Actions speak louder than words B.But how should CEOs take on this role? C.As leaders,CEOs should lead with purpose. D.With great power comes great responsibility. E.CEO statesmanship will matter more than ever. 随门双十中学高三（上）英语开学阶段检测卷共8页第5页 Quark夸克 高清扫描还原文档 F.But should CEOs be given so many privileges and responsibilities?
