A Phone-surfing Results in More Purchases Leaving your mobile phone at home when you go shopping could prevent mindless overspending, a new study suggests. Research from the University of Bath discovered that when people (21) ___________ (distract) by their mobiles during a trip to the supermarket their shopping bills might rise (22) ___________ an average of 41 per cent. Attention-weakening devices also encourage shoppers to wander along more shelves, (23) ___________ they come across more products. In one study, 294 people aged between 18 and 73 at four Swedish supermarkets wore eye-tracking glasses throughout a shopping trip to measure where they went and (24) ___________ they looked at. Their receipts were then used to assess their spending. Those using a mobile phone (25) ___________ (spend) on average £33.73 compared to an average of £23.91 for those who did not. A second study of 117 shoppers found those with mobile phones spent longer in the store, giving more attention to shelves. They also spent an average of £36. This study found (26) ___________ shoppers using a mobile phone spent on average £36.16 on 20.85 items, compared to £25.59 on 13.22 products. Dr Carl-Philip Ahlbom, of the University of Bath’s School of Management said: “Business owners have tended to worry that mobiles distract shoppers from spending money, (27) ___________ we were amazed to find completely the reverse effect.” The findings were very clear-the more time you spend on your phone, the more money you (28) ___________ (part) with. “So if you’re trying to budget, (29) ___________ (leave) your phone in your pocket. It’s not the phone itself (30) ___________ causes more purchases, but its impact on our focus.” Researchers believe people spend more because using a phone distracts people from their planned lists. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. complications B. immediate C. undergone D. seriously E. assuming F. address G. trade H. covered I. switch J. apparently K. offer Have you ever looked at someone else’s life with envy, just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or longer) that you could be them? Are there moments when, if the opportunity to be them were on 31 , you might be tempted by it? Would we really want this? And what might we learn about ourselves or how we see our lives if we 32 considered it? To be sure, there are 33 here. If you had someone else’s life, who would raise your children or love your spouse or take care of your parents in their old age? In fact, if you were someone else, your own children would not have come into existence in the first place. That’s not a happy thought. To 34 this, perhaps the best way to cast this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life, then they would have yours, and live it exactly as you would have. Your responsibilities would be 35 , so there would be nothing to feel guilty about. If we think of it this way, then the question of wanting to be someone else is a question of what we might call experience: Is there anybody else whose experience of life you would prefer, 36 everything else would be equal? One 37 concern about wanting someone else’s experience is that my desire to be someone else is grounded in values and desires that I have, and so I have to be me in order to want to be him. However, it’s not clear that that presents any real obstacle to such a desire. The fact is that there would be at least enough overlap (重叠) with them that they are exemplifying my values and desires but have a better experience than I do. So I can still prefer to be them. I think that, on reflection, most of us would not want to 38 with another person, no matter how successful or tempting their lives seem. To see why, though, we’ll need to 39 our angle of vision. We will have to look at our own experiences rather than at theirs, or perhaps look at our experiences first. What would I be willing to give up to be another? My relationships with everyone — children, spouse, friends — and my whole history. I wouldn’t have 40 it. My loss would be that of the whole of my own experience. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. It has been one of the deadliest climbing seasons on Everest, with at least 10 deaths. And at least some seem to have been 41 . The problem hasn’t been avalanches (雪崩), blizzards or high winds. Experienced climbers and industry leaders 42 too many people on the mountain, in general, and too many inexperienced climbers, in particular. Fly-by-night adventure companies are taking up untrained climbers who pose a risk to everyone on the mountain. And the Nepalese government, 43 for every climbing dollar it can get, has issued more permits than Everest can safely 44 , some experienced mountaineers say. Add to that Everest’s unmatched 45 to a growing body of thrill-seekers the world over. And the fact that Nepal, one of Asia’s poorest nations and the site of most Everest climbs, has a long record of bad regulations and mismanagement. To reach the peak, climbers 46 every pound of equipment they can and take with them just enough cans of compressed oxygen to make it to the top and back down. It is hard to think straight at that altitude (海拔). According to the climbers, some of the deaths this year were caused by people getting held up in the long lines on the last 1,000 feet or so of the climb, unable to get up and down fast enough to 47 their oxygen supply. Others were simply not fit enough to be on the mountain 48 . Nepal has no 49 rules about who can climb Everest, and experienced climbers say that is a direct reason for 50 . “You have to reach certain standards to do the Ironman,” said Alan Arnett, a remarkable Everest climber. “But you don’t have to 51 to climb the highest mountain in the world? What’s wrong with this picture?” The last time 10 or more people died on Everest was in 2015, during an avalanche. By some measures, the Everest machine has only gotten more out of 52 . Last year, experienced climbers, insurance companies and news organizations 53 a far-reaching scheme by guides, helicopter companies and hospitals to trick millions of dollars from insurance companies by evacuating (疏散) climbers with 54 signs of altitude sickness. Despite all the problems, this year the Nepali government issued a record number of permits, 381, as part of a bigger 55 to commercialize the mountain. Climbers say the permit numbers have been going up steadily each year and that this year the traffic jams were heavier than ever. 41. A. recognizable B. sustainable C. avoidable D. feasible 42. A. burden B. blame C. border D. balance 43. A. hungry B. critical C. jealousy D. hesitant 44. A. favor B. extend C. grant D. handle 45. A. appeal B. adjustment C. adaption D. agreement 46. A. catch sight of B. make use of C. get rid of D. take hold of 47. A. remove B. refill C. recycle D. release 48. A. for the first time B. at long last C. from time to time D. in the first place 49. A. strict B. social C. scientific D. creative 50. A. discomfort B. decay C. disadvantage D. disaster 51. A. manage B. qualify C. promise D. schedule 52. A. contact B. touch C. control D. power 53. A. activated B. exposed C. introduced D. dismissed 54. A. inferior B. minor C. superior D. major 55. A. push B. prospect C. pattern D. patent Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I believe in getting lost. Lost in the text of the novel that is particular to your thoughts and feelings that you consider special. The song that reminds you of your childhood summers, where you close your eyes and lose yourself reliving a memory; feeling the warm wind brushing against your arm, the smell of the dusty sand that you stir up as you ride your bicycle, murmuring the tune of that song. Like the unprepared Sunday Drive, with no destination. You’re free to wander, take paths that you’ve never noticed, and discover places you haven’t been to. Then falling off on the path to lead you back home, leaving you to test directions and alertly absorb your surroundings in order to find your way back; that kind of lost. I get lost daily; whether it’s in thought, or the unplanned drive I just decided to go on. Getting lost is an adventurous learning experience that trains you how to be more aware of your surroundings. A few of my most favorite memories involve physically getting lost. That one late night trip back to Ludington from Grand Rapids I took with a few friends. We finally realized we were going the wrong way when we hit South Haven, almost three hours out of our way. There was also the time where I got lost in the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids after the President’s Ball and then the parking garage for a solid two hours. I felt like my life was that one scene of an American television situation comedy, minus the air conditioner. At the time, these are nervous experiences that get your anxiety pumping. You’re fearful that you won’t be safe, but it always works itself out in the end. Physically losing yourself prepares you for how you manage when you emotionally or mentally lose yourself. You don’t always have to be lost in a literal sense to “get lost” and some of the time, losing yourself may not be a positive experience. There are times where I lose sight of who I am. While lost, I test out metaphorical paths and sometimes they turn out to be the right direction and other times they are a wrong turn. I made note of these wrong turns, so I can avoid them further on up the road of finding my way back to who I am. In Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote “Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.” Getting lost fuels my curiosity and teaches me lessons on finding my way back to the right track. I believe in getting lost through day dreams, a misplacement, adventures, and difficult times where you make discoveries about yourself and the atmosphere around you. In order to truly find yourself, I believe that you should put down the map and get wonderfully lost. 56. In the first paragraph, the author mainly expresses that _______. A. getting lost in a novel is a special feeling B. songs remind us of past experiences C. wandering is a wonderful discovery D. getting lost brings us benefits 57. The author mentions the experiences of physically getting lost (in paragraph 2) in order to say ________. A. physically getting lost is most difficult to deal with B. we can enjoy trips while physically getting lost C. people are easy to get physically lost in our daily life D. we realize our surroundings while physically getting lost 58. Words from Henry David Thoreau (in the last paragraph) imply that getting lost _________. A. enables us to look within and to see outward B. pulls people back into the previous moment C. enables us to remind ourselves of adventures D. helps us enjoy ourselves wherever we are 59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. I Once Was Lost B. Wonderfully Lost C. Physically Getting Lost D.

Social media stars were crafting 30-second videos to post on their social media channels ahead of the comedy’s second-season return. Each made sure to mention Superstore and its first public show. As networks and studios struggle to reach young audiences in an increasingly fragmented (碎片化的) media marketplace, many have turned to so-called influencers — online stars whose value is measured by the size of their Internet followings — as a means of generating awareness. Advertisers are seizing on the strategy in an age of commercial-skipping and ad-blockers. Word of mouth in the digital age means messages travel faster by way of social media. The majority of consumers worldwide trust online recommendations from stars. And when Superstore gave its first public show, it did so to higher ratings than the last show of Season 1. Studio and network executives say they work with influencers to build brand awareness and reputation in a more friendly way through the friend-like connections consumers feel toward the online personalities they follow. At the upper level, influencers typically have thousands of followers on social media and online content platforms and count many millions of people who tune in daily to watch them. Some do something that makes themselves look stupid in their daily routine, sharing videos of their trips to the grocery store or dinner dates. Others have built careers on performances — making comedy videos, reviewing video games, performing magic tricks and teaching cooking lessons, among other pursuits. When in the employ of studios, their efforts can be as simple as publicizing a film or more involved attempts like the marketing push for Superstore. Entertainment companies declined to discuss how much they pay influencers. But several experts said their pay ranges from a few thousand dollars to several million. Some simply receive gift baskets instead of pay. Over the last year or so, some entertainment companies have begun to cast influencers in their TV and film projects. The strategy is a bit of a gamble: It’s a new business model, and questions remain about the effectiveness of using these personalities to improve a show’s ratings — or help open a movie. Just how much influence the influencers have is hard to measure. TV ratings and box-office returns do not reveal what caused a viewer to tune in. What is clear is that these personalities aren’t necessarily getting the work because of their acting skills, but often because of their Internet followings. Yet as social media stars consider whether to take on jobs promoting movies and TV shows, there’s an important consideration for both parties: the credibility of a campaign. “Fans are definitely aware when they’re being tempted with promotional posts,” said Zach King, a social media star who performs magic tricks. “It has to be something that is natural and fits with the image of the creator.” 63. Why did social media stars post short videos on their channels before Superstore’s second season? A. To attract more influencers. B. To draw audience’s attention. C. To put on better performances. D. To increase the channels’ popularity. 64. Advertisers like the influencer marketing strategy because __________. A. audiences believe in whatever online stars recommend B. influencers are quite aware of the impact of the digital age C. ordinary advertisements are often ignored by young people D. social media platforms are the cheapest place to spread messages 65. What is implied in the passage? A. The influencer marketing strategy help build connections between executives. B. Most influencers get paid from gift baskets instead of from their companies. C. Most influencers take on marketing jobs regardless of their reliability. D. The influencer marketing strategy may not really work well. 66. The passage mainly wants to tell us that __________. A. most young people like following influencers B. studios are relying more on social media stars C. influencers are gradually replacing movie stars D. social media are filming videos for Superstore Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Some experts think that the wealth gained from trade allowed for such leisure in sports and the arts. B. Experts believe that a king and mostly a female priest ruled the government and controlled trade. C. In ancient Greek myths, Minoan society was quite prosperous and highly civilized. D. The palace that Evans unearthed a century ago was the first proof of Minoan culture. E. Minoan culture didn’t exist before Arthur Evans discovered the palace under the earth. F. Although not yet decoded, written script on clay tablets appears to list trade accounts. The Minoans: A Forgotten People The first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Knossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, a central figure in many Greek myths. 67 With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture. From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. 68 These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture. Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society. 69 Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons (图符) show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods. An unusual feature of Minoan culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant décor (装饰品). 70 The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that a group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and took over the island.
