26、 Say you're in the supermarket parking lot, holding your baby, bags of goods, and trying to open your car. A stranger walks up and says, “Here，let me hold your baby.” Should you let him?
According to a new New York University study, knowing whether or not to trust someone is so important that we can tell whether a face is trustworthy before we even consciously know it's there. The researchers knew from previous studies that people are fairly similar when it comes to how they judge a face's trustworthiness. They wanted to find out whether that would be true if people only saw a face for a quick moment—an amount of time so short that it would prevent making a conscious judgment.
To carry out their study, the researchers monitored the amygdala (扁桃腺结构) of 37 volunteers while showing them 300 faces for 33 milliseconds each. Those faces had already been tested with a different set of 10 subjects, who saw them for much longer. In those earlier tests, people agreed about whether to trust each face. In this new study, fascinatingly, different parts of the amygdala lit up when a subject saw an untrustworthy face and a trustworthy one—and it lit up more when the face in question was suspicious.
“Faces that appear likely to cause harm are suddenly tracked by the amygdala, so it could then quickly change other brain processes and make fast responses to people—approach or avoid,” says Jon Freeman, the study's senior author. “Our talents for making instant judgments could either come from birth or be learned from the social environment.”
So should you trust the guy in the parking lot? Your brain already knows.
【1】The amygdala lit up more clearly when people __________ .
A.came across a neutral face mask B.met a reliable person
C.saw an untrustworthy face D.saw a familiar face
【2】What can we infer from Freeman's words?
A.Brain processes cannot be changed.
B.The ability of making fast judgments can be acquired.
C.The amygdala decides the accuracy of judgments.
D.The amygdala tracks only faces of bad men.
【3】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is facial trustworthiness reliable?
B.You can judge a person even without being aware of it
C.Can the amygdala reveal how people make automatic judgments?
D.Your brain decides whether to trust people in milliseconds
27、As the pandemic started, so, too, did my journey as a Ph.D. student in a new country. Lockdown and homesickness combined to leave me feeling isolated and desperate to meet people. So, when I received an email one morning inviting volunteers to join the university’s graduate students’ society, I was intrigued. I worried that getting involved in extracurriculars would be a distraction from my Ph.D. work; I thought doing experiments and reading papers were supposed to be my sole priorities. But maybe this was my chance to make friends and find the connections I was missing.
I searched for opportunities that would involve teamwork and engagement both within and outside the university. A newly fledged venture matching graduate students with jobs and internships caught my eye, which needed placement coordinators who would lead teams of graduate student volunteers to help bring in industry partners, determine logistics, and work with the university administration and student applicants. I had no relevant experience, but I decided I might as well go for it and apply due to its requirement for interactions with others.
The first few weeks in my new role were frustrating. Along with my routine Ph.D. work, I was suddenly managing a team of four volunteers and arranging virtual meetings with industry professionals and startup founders. I found I was busier than ever before, but I enjoyed the daily mix of activities. It was an antidote (解药) to isolation, bringing me into contact with people from a variety of fields, positions, and backgrounds. At first I was scared in meetings with industry professionals, feeling I wasn’t prepared or polished enough. But as I gained experience and confidence, the interactions became truly enjoyable and rewarding. I began to feel less lonely and more energetic about my work and life.
I also learned about leadership. I asked team members to lead some of our meetings, encouraged them to express their views, and made sure to include them consistently. This approach allowed us to meet our targets while helping everyone feel more invested, fulfilled, and connected—as colleagues, but also as friends.

29、The latest target for TV advertisers is children in Asia. Asian families are getting smaller and wealthier, and Asian children are watching more and more TV. It is said that the average Hong Kong child sees about 25,000 TV advertisements a year.
To get the attention (and the money) of these young audiences, the advertisers use little actors. “The kids share the same feelings with someone from their own age group,” says one advertiser, “so this kind of advertisement is more effective. And, of course, the little actors earn big money.”
Not everyone is happy to see kids turned into buyers. “Advertising to children is wrong,” said Pasty Liang, “because its aim is to make them ask their parents for money to buy things. Also, many things advertised, such as toys, are silly and encourage violence. If a child buys them, he or she will learn nothing.” Some educators believe that if young people watch the ads, they will become more and more materialistic.
Some people even think it wrong to use little actors in TV advertisements. “It is illegal for kids to work in factories, so why are they allowed to work in ads? Also, considering the high salaries, it is bad for children to have too much money.” said Elvis Hu.
As an advertiser, J W Lu clearly has his own opinion about this. “It is nothing wrong with children earning a lot of money or asking their parents to buy things for them. Besides, kids buy toy to have fun, not to learn from.”
Anyway, governments are beginning to take action to protect children. An ad would not be allowed to appear on TV if it made children feel inferior (低人一等的) because they didn’t own the advertised product.
【1】The advertisers use little actors so that ________.
A. the ads can attract young audiences
B. the little actors can earn big money
C. the kids will share the same feelings
D. people will see more TV advertisements
【2】What does the underlined word “illegal” mean?
A. Not liked by the children.
B. Not allowed by the law.
C. Not accepted by the public.
D. Not agreed to by the parents.
【3】Who thinks it all right for kids to earn money by acting in ads?
A. Elvis Hu. B. J W Lu.
C. Pasty Liang. D. Some educators.
【4】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Little actors earn less money than adults.
B. Advertisers want children to learn from toys.
C. Some people are not for advertising to children.
D. Governments are taking action to protect advertisers.
【5】What is the best title for the passage?
A. Little Actors or Adult Actors
B. How to Get Children’s Attention
C. Opinions about TV Advertisements
D. Children: New Target for TV Advertisements

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Recently, 16-year-old Jack found himself troubled his parents,especially his mom. They perhaps just cared too much, always nagging, reminding him about everything ,worrying about the smallest things, sometimes even forbidding him to hang out with friends, which, of course, caused tons of stress for Jack. Feeling like a bird caged, he desperately longed for freedom and even thought of running away from home, but somehow, an unknown kind of guilt stopped him to do so.
The suffering had seemingly gone on for ages and become so much that it was almost unbearable. Then one morning at the dinner table, the family were having breakfast when it struck Jack that he had to go to school in advance because of some earlier arrangements in school.
“Mom and dad, I gotta go.” he said and quickly picked up his school bag.
“But you haven’t finished your food” his mother responded, acute anxiety obvious on her face.
“I’m running out of time and I will explain it later. ” Jack got impatient.
“It won’t take you....”
“Bang”, before she could finish, Jack had stormed out of front door, slamming the door shut, leaving his father and mother stricken dumb.
That night, Jack just locked himself up in his room. Sadness, anger, helplessness, disappointment and many other untold miserable feelings kept flooding over him. However his father and mother tried to talking to him, he wouldn't open the door. Unable to fall asleep, he turned on his computer and logged on to his Instagram account, where he randomly viewed and mindlessly liked his friends’ photos—hundreds of them, all were the sort that overflowed with real happiness and pleasure. “Why is the whole world all so happy except me?” Jack thought to himself and sighed heavily. Just then, a strange screen name caught his eyes. “How could someone give herself such an old-fashioned name ‘Troubled Sally’? and how come she is on my friend list?” he thought doubtfully. Driven by curiosity, he decided to investigate.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To his great surprise, the very first photo was himself and his mother.
