D.A textbook. 夕 As a boy,I wanted to go to the South Pole.As a teenager,I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too.And yet,I haven't done either.It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic. I was traveling with a film crew from Northern Ireland,following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who,in the 1850s,sailed from Scotland to the Arctic.As an early adventure tourist, he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world. As we sailed north,icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat.Finally,we reached our destination-English Bay,where Dufferin landed and stepped off onto the horseshoe-shaped beach. This was what I'd dreamt of:standing somewhere so pure and primitive.However,for many early polar explorers,the results were far less pleasant.The south,in particular,was source of extreme danger. My childhood interest in the South Pole was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heroic expedition of Emest Shackleton.He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure. The stories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well-known:he and four companions died on their way back from the South Pole. So why do explorers put themselves at such risk? Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge.Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been "unreached and unseen by humans.""With a view over shining lands covered by ice-sheets of unimaginable extent,you have the feeling of living over the control of death,"said Fridtjof Nansen,a Norwegian explorer. On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm.We experienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power of nature.We should be grateful for the great explorers'spirit and stories.I know I am. 第3页共10页 24.Why did the author begin his adventure tour? A.To assist a film crew. B.To realize a childhood dream. C.To memorize Lord Dufferin. D.To challenge a world record. 25.Which of the following can best describe the polar explorers in paragraph 5? A.Hopeful and diligent. B.Intelligent and dedicated. C.Adventurous and fearless. D.Faithful and innovative. 26.What happened during the writer's journey? A.They were trapped in icebergs. B.They were kept off the destination. C.They were attacked by a storm. D.They were rescued by explorers. 27.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.The Appeal of the Ends of the World B.The Dream of Traveling to the Arctic C.The Victory over the Control of Death D.The Gratitude to Great Explorers Spirit We all notice bright colors.People who choose to go eye-catching,whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories(配饰)，hear everything from“No one is going to miss you at the party"to "I would never have the courage to wear that."But according to research,those comments may be both accurate and expected. Adam D.Pazda and Christopher A.Thorstenson (2019)examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors.They specifically examined the effect of chroma ()They found that targets,both male and female,who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting.They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality. Drilling down further,they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion（外向)，but not other personalities.These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors. Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature:in some occupations,success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities.They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive ()Accordingly,applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing. Regarding the generality of their results,Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States,which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures.They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries,and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures.The practical outcome,at least in the United States,appears to be that bright colors,like the peacock's tail,will get you noticed.But depending on your goals,consider tailoring your chroma to the situations,personally and professionally. 第4页共10页 28.What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage? A.The cultural implications of high chroma colors. B.The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions. C.The connection between clothing and job suitability. D.The impact of high chroma colors on first impression 29.What does the underlined phrase"capitalize on"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Take advantage of.B.Approve of.C.Object to.D.Dig up. 30.Which might be a limitation of the study? A.The culturally specific findings.B.The unmonitored research process. C.The outdated data analysis methods.D.The relatively insufficient theoretical basis 31.What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph? A.Reserve bright colors for social events. B.Always wear bright colors to be noticed C.Avoid bright colors in professional settings. D.Use bright colors strategically based on your goals D "Individuals of all ages who have empathy (understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other people from getting hurt,"says Barbara Greenberg,a clinical psychologist in Connecticut."Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not beneficial."A white lie, she explains,spares people from unnecessary hurt. At the same time,Dr.Julia Breur,a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone.The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you;it's not just about the person the white lie is being told to.For example,she says someone who always tells others that"all is good when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is,can eventually face stressful experiences.When that parent eventually passes away,the person who always gave an "all is good"response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes,telling white lies often depends on the situation,Dr.Breur says.For example,consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months.The daughter has gained noticeable weight,yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great."I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,"Dr.Breur says."So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight,it can be acceptable.It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness,protection and unconditional love.Otherwise, white lies-especially when told to avoid personal accountability-can start a cycle of mistrust between people,ultimately damaging integrity,"she adds. Therefore,it's important to ask ourselves when it is and isn't suitable to deliver the honest truth,and when it's best to step back and offer a more delicate response.More often than not,it's about finding a balance between the two. 32.What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? A.They are short-lived. B.They are unidentifiable. C.They are trouble-making. D.They are reasonable. 第5页共10页 33.What message does Dr.Breur deliver in paragraph 2? A.White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. B.We must respond to our family members truthfully C.It's wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent D.The"all is good"response is effective in dealing with patients. 34.Which kind of white lie would probably be preferred by Dr.Breur? A.The student refuses to hand in his homework by say ing the dog has eaten it. B.A man who wants to impress someone says he's read all books in the world. C.The son's test scores aren't satisfactory but his father says he's made great progress. D.The girl replies,"I'm fine,"for she doesn't want to burden others with her problems. 35.Which of the following statements does the author's agree with? A.East or west,white lies are the best. B.Think twice before you tell white lies C.White lies signify unconditional love. D.White lies are empathetic people's favorable choice. 第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） The Rise of“China-chic” Over past years,guochao,or"China-chic"has been gaining popularity among Chinese consumers.Guochao conveys the cultural heritage and values of China.36 “China-chic”is rising,but what is it?
