A nudge is a gentle push (推). Sometimes it's a physical push. A person might nudge a friend to make him move out of the way, or a parent might nudge a child to get her to say thank you for a gift. Sometimes a nudge is a mental (心理) push. A boss might nudge workers to work faster by telling them that a deadline is coming up.
In design terms, nudges usually have two features. First, they make one seem better and useful than the others. Second, design nudges don't say clearly what the best is. They just suggest it in an indirect way.
We can see many examples where nudges help people choose what's good for them. Take students as an example. Nudges can encourage them to give up bad behaviors, such as eating junk food at lunch, and develop good ones. Studies show that most people take the first three foods they see more often than other foods. Schools can use this information to nudge students to eat better by putting healthier food at the front of the line and unhealthy ones at the end. Giving food nicer names can also help. “Cool summer salad” may be more popular than just “salad”. It suggests that ▲
However, not all design nudges are good. For example, shops might shine a light on fruit, using this nudge to increase sales. But it is good for shops, not buyers. A hotel that offers a free breakfast might choose to put low-cost but unhealthy food in a noticeable place and put higher-cost but healthier food in a far corner. This helps the hotel save money but is bad for guests.
Design nudges are all around us because they are effective. More and more people are now using nudges to help overcome problems and choose what they want wisely.
19. How can schools nudge their students to eat better?
A. By offering more food to them.
B. By offering high-cost foods at lower prices.
C. By putting healthy foods at a noticeable place.
D. By placing unhealthy foods at the front of the line.
20. The underlined word effective in the last paragraph means .
A. meaningless B. helpful C. boring D. free
21. Which of the following is the most suitable for ▲ ?
A. getting students to eat healthy food is the only way to change their diet habits.
B. students will only choose food based on its price rather than its position or name.
C. the taste of food is the most important in deciding if students will choose it.
D. small changes can influence what people decide.
22. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The power of a nudge B. The good of a nudge
C. How to design a nudge D. How to find a nudge

六、阅读表达 阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题,每题答案不超过10个单词。
As a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with math wisdom. You may have played many of them before. Let's take a look at three of them.
● Tangram
A tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes, including triangles, squares and parallelograms (平行四边形). For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. People can make shapes of animals, people, or things. To do it, they have to know about geometry (立体几何). According to China Science Daily, the game was popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there.
● Luban Lock
Luban Lock was first made by Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry. It's hard to take the six pieces apart. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban Locks made up of nine or more pieces.
● Huarong Pass
Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block-moving puzzle (智力游戏). Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. To win the game, players have to move the blocks to get “Cao Cao” out. This is a test of one's math knowledge, for example, of geometric area (几何面积). It takes at least81 steps to set “Cao Cao” free.
1. When was the tangram brought to the West?
2. What were the first Luban Locks made of?
3. Which is usually harder, to take apart a Luban Lock or to put it back together?
4. How do players win the Huarong Pass game?
5. Besides being fun, what do these three traditional games have in common?

When I got to school today, everybody was acting all strange around me, and at first, I didn't know what was up. Then I remembered: I still had the Cheese Touch from last year. I got the Cheese Touch in the last week of school, and over the summer I forgot about it.
The problem with the Cheese Touch is that you’ve got it until you can pass it on to someone else. But nobody would even get within 30 feet of me. Every time they saw me, they screamed “Ah-Greg Heffley is coming!” I knew the Cheese Touch would stick with me for the whole school year. Luckily, a new kid named Jeremy Pindle was in the classroom, so I passed the Cheese Touch to him.
My first class was Maths, and the teacher put me right next to Alex Aruda, the cleverest kid in the whole class. If the kids' last names start with the first few letters of the alphabet(字母表), the teacher will call them most. and that's why they end up being the cleverest. Some people think that's not true, but I can show some examples to prove it. Alex Aruda is a top student, while Christopher Ziegel is different.
of one kid. He broke the last-name rule, and that's Peter Uteger. Peter was the cleverest kid in the class all the way up untilthe fifth grade.
When we kept saying his initials(首字母) out loud, it sounded funny. This gave Peter a difficult time. These days, Peter doesn't put up his hand at all, and he's pretty much a C student. I feel a little bad about the whole P. U. thing and what happened to Peter.
—— Adapted from Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Deep in the shady forests of Central America, there grows a funny-looking tree called the cocoa. Its trunk sprouts football-sized fruits in colors of reddish brown, green, purple, or yellow.
But inside is magic. Each pod (豆荚) holds 20 to 50 large bean-like seeds (种子),covered in a milky white pulp. These seeds also called cocoa beans (可可豆)—— are where chocolate begins.
No one knows who first had the idea to eat cocoa seeds. The first cocoa eaters may have snacked on the pulp and thrown away the bitter seeds. But eventually, someone discovered that roasting (烘焙) the seeds makes them delicious.
Archaeologists have found traces of cooked cocoa in pots dating as far back as 1500 BCE. The pots came from the Olmec people, who lived in southern Mexico. The Maya may have learned about cocoa from the Olmecs.
What did the Maya do with the cocoa? They did not make chocolate candy—— that's a modern invention.Instead, they drank it.①
Maya cocoa wasn't much like the hot chocolate we drink today. The Maya didn't have sugar or milk, so their drink was dark and bitter. To make it, they mixed ground cocoa beans, water, and spices with a little corn meal.② People drank cocoa at religious festivals and to celebrate special events like weddings or the birth of a baby.Cocoa beans were so valuable, they were used as money. Traders from all over America came to Maya cities to trade for cocoa.
When the Spanish arrived in Mexico in 1519, they tasted cocoa for the first time—— cocoa trees didn't grow in Europe. The Spanish liked the drink.③ But they decided they liked it even better with sugar and cinnamon, and served warm.
The Spanish took cocoa back to Europe, where it became popular. At first, cocoa was an expensive drink only the rich could afford. But by the 1700s, people all over Europe were enjoying cups of sweet, hot cocoa. The English added milk to theirs.④ The next big step for cocoa came in 1847, when an English candy maker found out how to turn the tasty beans into solid candy (固体糖果).
Today, Americans eat around 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate every year. That's about 11 pounds (5 kg) per person. We’ve changed how we make and eat cocoa, but all chocolate still comes from seed pods that are roasted and ground up. Just like the ancient Maya did.
20. What can we learn about the cocoa from the passage?
A. The cocoa trees look funny because of the football-sized seeds.
B. The Spanish and the English both enjoyed drinking cold cocoa.
C The Maya were clever enough to make chocolate with the cocoa.
D. The cocoa was once used for daily pay because of its high value.
21. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “bitter”?
A. Having a good taste. B. Having a bad taste.
C. Having a good smell. D. Having a bad smell.
22. What is the writing purpose (目的) of the passage?
A. To share stories of cocoa history. B. To show findings from some studies.
C. To tell reasons of cocoa’s popularity. D. To introduce steps of making cocoa.
23. The following sentence would best be placed at .
Cocoa was a special drink, not something you had every day.
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
