In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical line and asked t
12、o find a line of identical length from a selection of three. You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task i
13、n a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates (同伙) of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with
14、some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion. But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in the
15、ir own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead. A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistanc
16、e if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the womans assistance.(1)、In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform“ probably means “_”.Aseek independenceBdisobey
17、 ordersCseek pleasureDfollow what others do(2)、What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2?

20、otos wherever you arebut it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems. A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on a
21、verage as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers h
22、ave email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work email
23、s and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight. Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “
24、The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a wee

28、nes make our life easier.DEmployers dont like smartphones.正确答案是：CHKN3、The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the
29、 law. Airbnb is an internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services. The good thing about the sharing
30、 economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that
31、are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy. But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of
32、 tax income. But many of Airbnbs customers are not paying the taxes required under the law. Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they dont form other risks for visitors
33、. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections. Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy
34、visitors. The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers ability to earn a minimum wage. This downside
35、of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.(1)、What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?AIt is a global trend.BIt is beyond regulations.CIt draws on spare resources.DIt brings in modest profits.(2)、What is the prob
36、lem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?AThey are not regularly inspected.BThey are likely to commit thefts.CThey are allowed not to pay taxes.DThey can be noisy to hosts neighbours.(3)、What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?AWhether it guarantees customers safety.BWhethe
37、r it provides reliable services.CWhether it lowers customers expenses.DWhether it can compete with standard taxis.(4)、What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?AExisting regulations and laws.BMore downsides of Airbnb and Uber.CFurther development of Airbnb and Uber.DNecessary improvement

41、n many respects, has aroused public concern nowadays. For example, many doctors sell unnecessary but expensive medicines to their patients in order to get more money, And a lot of people buy fake certificates so that they can get better jobs. Also, some students cheat on exams. Even such famous star
42、 as Ouyang San, once considered Chinas movie king, cheated the government on income taxes. / It is unequivocally well known that being honest is beneficial to the people involved.
