21、A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature?
Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature. It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic（贵族化的）life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging, it is a big takl disguised as a complaint. “I have too many houses. How can I decide which one to decorate?” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend that’s not the point.
As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more dishonest than the appearance of modesty.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging? published in Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Susan Krauss Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts Amherst noted that humblebragging is a “strategy in pursuit of respect” because it draws attention to one’s accomplishments in a circuitous way.
However, studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work. In the essay Humblebragging: A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy, the University of North Carolina researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca Gino and Michael Norton concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity. People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back? “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints.”
【1】Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”?
A．You know who my father is? My father is Li Gang.
B．I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
C．It’s a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
D．Got five offers to date. I’m at a loss which to choose.
【2】What is the psychology behind humblebragging?
A．To earn others’ admiration.
B．To win others’ sympathy.
C．To show his/her sincerity.
D．To mask his/her complaint.
【3】What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．indirect
B．straightforward
C．obvious.
D．sharp.
【4】What can’t be inferred from the passage?
A．Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
B．Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
C．If you want to be perceived positively, avoid using Versailles literature.
D．To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
22、 Do you want to find a job that you just need to sit and sleep on a sofa? It is ridiculous, but it happens 26-year -old Anna Cherdantseva, from the city of Ufa, is a full-time sofa tester, spending up to 10 hours every day trying out new sofas for comfort and safety.
Last month, Russian furniture giant MZ5 Group announced that it was taking application for a new position—full time sofa tester. Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory, management decided that in order to better meet the needs of consumers it needed some feedback on real-life use of its sofas. In just a few days, MZ5 received over 5,000 job applications from people eager to spend most of their time sitting and lying on sofas.
“We were selecting candidates in several stages,” MZ5 Group spokesperson Anastasia Russkih said, “Initially we checked their resumes, and then we let them tell us why they wanted the job.” Eventually, the furniture company shortlisted just 7 candidates, among whom Anna Cherdantseva, a 26-year-old marketing expert, proved to be the most suitable for the job.
“I felt extreme competition, and it was a real fight for my dream job,” Anna said after getting selected. “I have a lot of ideas for improving the sofas, but I would prefer not to talk about them for now. I believe it will all work out between me and the sofas.”
Despite describing herself as an active person, Cherdantseva says that spending about 10 hours a day sitting on sofas doesn’t sound bad at all. “Of course I will spend a lot of time on new sofas. The more time I spend on them, the better it will be for my work,” she told reporters.
Anna Cherdantseva is currently on a three month probation (试用期)at MZ5, but the company claims that as long as she proves to be up to the task, they plan on offering her a permanent position as a sofa tester. The young woman will receive a monthly salary of 56, 000rubles ($ 1,000) for the first three months. It’s not so bad about the job.
【1】Why did MZ5 Group want a sofa tester?
A.Because its products need to be tested.
B.Because it wants to save money by doing that.
C.Because Anna Cherdantseva applied for the job.
D.Because it wants to satisfy its consumers better.
【2】What does the underlined word “feedback” in Paragraph 2 mean ?
A.Response.
B.Consumers.
C.Praise.
D.Products.
【3】What does Anna Cherdantseva think of getting the job?
A.It was very easy.
B.It was controversial.
C.It was challenging.
D.It was interesting.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.The company found it difficult to find suitable employees.
B.Anna Cherdantseva has the chance to work steadily for MZ5.
C.The company doesn’t give Anna Cherdantseva a good salary now.
D.Anna Cherdantseva got the job because of her similar work experience.
23、 We certainly look different. The most obvious differences between boys and girls are our bodies, inside and out. For example, can men have babies? Can women grow beards? 【1】
In the 1800s, scientists developed a theory called craniology (头骨学), which said that intelligence could be measured by skull size. Men have bigger skulls than women. So men must be smarter, people thought. 【2】 No one encouraged them to go on in school. Some doctors even said women who went to college would no longer be able to have children! Of course, now we know these beliefs aren’t true.
In the 1950s, psychologists gave girls and boys science tests to see if they could tell who was smarter. On average, the girls did worse than the boys. 【3】 But is this really true? Instead of measuring natural ability, maybe the tests revealed something about the conditions under which children were being taught. Parents and teachers didn't expect girls to do well in math or science，and so they didn’t encourage them. In class, teachers focused their attention on boys. 【4】
As scientists continue to investigate, they have discovered that boys do seem to be better than girls at something called spatial rotation (空间转动）. Girls，on the other hand, do better on some tests of vocabulary and language. Why? 【5】 They often give girls dolls to play with, while they more frequently give boys blocks. Playing with blocks helps children develop spatial skills. So without meaning to, adults might be helping boys develop better spatial skills. And maybe they talk to girls more, which helps girls with those vocabulary words.
A.But how different are we really?
B.Therefore, women were treated differently.
C.This influenced how well boys learned and how poorly girls did.
D.If our bodies differ, what does that say about our intelligence and skills?
E.Naturally，researchers concluded that boys are smarter than girls in science.
F.Studies have shown that parents treat boys and girls differently as soon as they’re born.
G.According to psychologists, girls were less intelligent than boys in many aspects.
24、Every week, Angela looked at her recycling bin, filled with shampoo bottles and plastic containers, with mixed feelings. Sure, it was a lot of plastic, but it was going to be recycled. Or so she thought. Then, her husband sent her some articles revealing that less than 6% of the country’s plastic gets recycled. She was shocked.
Determined to cut back on her plastic consumption, Angela got a starter kit from a company selling refillable household cleaners (家用清洁器). In it were tablets, containing concentrated hand soap as well as glass and bathroom cleaners, and four empty containers. She filled each one with tap water, then dropped in a tablet and watched it dissolve. If she was happy with the cleaners, she would order more tablets but reuse the containers. No new plastic required.
Given plastic’s harmful effects on the environment, nearly three quarters of Americans say they are trying to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic, according to Pew Research Center. Since plastic is everywhere and avoiding it altogether is extraordinarily difficult, some, like Angela, have revived a once-customary practice: refilling containers. Household cleaners seem particularly prepared for a refill revolution, for many can be easily concentrated and reconstituted (with water. If just 10% to 20% of plastic packaging are reused, a report from the World Economic Forum estimates, the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean will be cut in half.
Not everyone is as enthusiastic, though. Jan Dell, a chemical engineer, noted that many cleaning products are packaged in PET or HDPE, two types of plastic with relatively high recycling rates. So she is less concerned about them but far more concerned about the packaging of other products. “What companies should be focusing on is everything else that isn’t recyclable, that is single use and that often becomes plastic pollution,” she said, pointing to plastic bags and cups. “This is just a classic example of big corporations doing something to attract people’s attention over here on something that’s not the main issue to distract from all the single-use plastic they’re pushing out.”
【1】Why is Angela mentioned?
A．To promote a tablet.
B．To lead in the topic.
C．To clarify a concept.
D．To recommend a kit.
【2】What does the underlined word “dissolve” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Float over water.
B．Turn over in water.
C．Change color in water.
D．Mix with water.
【3】What’s Jan Dell’s attitude towards the deeds of big corporations?
A．Critical.
B．Favourable.
C．Conservative.
D．Unconcerned.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A chemistry paper.
B．An academic report.
C．A lifestyle magazine.
D．A cleaner advertisement.

26、A set of textbook designed to help high school student learn about Chinese traditional culture is to be published soon, Beijing Times reported on Monday.
The books are the first national-level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture. They will be used by students from autumn this year, the report said.
The set contains four classics from ancient times. Two of the works, The Confucian Analects and Mencius, are for 10th-grade students, while the other two, Great Learning and Dao De Jing, will be used by 11th graders.
The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to spread and promote traditional Chinese culture on campus.
Last April, the Ministry of Education released a series of guidelines requiring the inclusion of more information about traditional culture in primary and middle school textbooks, especially those used for subjects such as Chinese Language, history, art and physical education.
The guidelines said students’ knowledge of traditional culture will be tested in the senior high school entrance examination and the gaokao, the college entrance exam.
