9、uitcase behind me, I was pushed by sweaty travelers. On my first Metro ride, I gave a clumsy pickpocket a look, and he let go of my purse. At my stop, I carried my heavy suitcase up the steep stairs and froze in confusion. Somewhere in this confusing city my hotel was hidden, but suddenly I couldnt
10、read my own directions. I stopped two people. Both had that Parisian face that said: Yes, I speak English, but youll have to struggle with your French if you want to talk to me.When I finally found the hotel, my heart was pounding. Then I saw my room. I couldnt stay, could I? The wallpaper looked li
11、ke it had been through a fire. The bathroom was down the hall, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building. Welcome to Paris. It was my third week away from home and my kids, and I had arrived in the most romantic city in the world alone. Alone, lonely, and very scared.The most
12、 important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment. I knew that if I didnt go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, I would hide in this place my entire time in Paris. So I went out. Evening in Paris was light and warm. I walked along a winding path, listening to birds sing and watc

In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to .do what
19、 you want them to do is the key to success. Researchers have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting results which are surely helpful to us.One advertising copywriter came up with an approach to selling a product on a TV shopping channel via phone sales. Instead
20、 of being instructed “Operators are waiting, please call now”, viewers were told “If operators are busy, please call again”. The results were extraordinary. The ad suggested operators werent- sitting around hoping .people would call. Instead there were so many people: wanting the product that people
21、 might have to wait until they could get it.What role does choice have in persuading people to buy or get something? One study in a supermarket showed the effect of choice. A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam. The 1arge display attracted more interest than the sm
22、all one. But when the time came to purchase things; people who saw the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy. If they do buy, they are less content with their selection, even though they have made a good choice. A wider range of choices require more time and effort and lead to unreasonably h
23、igh expectations.Another aspect 6f persuasion concerns getting someone to change their mind: Its hard to prove to someone that a previous decision is wrong, and as people get older they get less and less willing to change their minds. People want things to be unwavering; they want their attitudes, s
24、tatements, values and actions to follow a set pattern. The only way to persuade them to change is to acknowledger this by agreeing that the previous decision they made is a perfectly understandable one. This allows them to focus on your suggestion without feeling their previous decision is wrong. As
25、 a result, they may be persuaded to break out of their established pattern.8What does the advertising copywriter want to indicate about the product?AIts for sale.BIts precious.CIts in demand.DIts rare.9What does the study mentioned in Paragraph 3 show?AIncreased choice decreases satisfaction.BMore s

A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature?Actually, the term has nothing to do
28、 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 boast（吹牛）d
29、isguised 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 inten
30、tion is to show off - usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend thats not the point.As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothing is more deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance of humility（谦逊）.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for
31、ones 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 pursu
32、it of respect” because it draws attention to ones 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 Nort
33、h 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 formers insincerity. “The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is s
34、incerity. People dont 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 dont get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “And respond with genuine sympathy for their complai
35、nts.”12Which of the following statements is typical of “Versailles literature”?AYou know who my father is? My father is Li Gang.BGot five offers to date. Im at a loss which to choose.CIts a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.DIm fed up with living in the countryside with no shopp
36、ing malls around.13What is the psychology behind humblebragging?ATo win others sympathy.BTo earn others admiration.CTo show his/her sincerity.DTo mask his/her complaint.14What does the underlined world “circuitous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?ARoundabout.BStraightforward.CAmbiguous.DDouble-edged.15
37、What cant be inferred from the passage?ABraggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.BHumblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.CTo respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.DIf you want to be perceived positively, avoid using Versailles literature.二、七选五
38、The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”， as the Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75, who continue to work and stay socially engaged. 16.

40、cognitive (认知的)decline. The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined. The yold are not just any group of old people They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired as who are wearing indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. 18They become one
41、of the fastest growing group for airline business. They spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than young adults. So they are vital to the Tourism industry. They are also changing education and finance Because of the importance of pensions,the yold are transforming insurance companies from
42、passive distributors of fired an nuities (年金)to financial service providers for customers who want to manage their pension pots more actively.19They find that older workers have, if anything,slightly above-average productivity and that teams of workers from multiple generations are the most producti
43、ve of all.Societies should be better off because public spending on health and pensions should be lower than expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.Today,some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The most important is public attitudes towards o
44、lder people and in particular the expectation that 60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background. 20 The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly and,in the process,help change attitudes towards aging itself.AHealthy yold people will require great changes in health spendi
45、ng.BMany companies discriminate against older workers by offering training only to younger ones.CThe rise of the yold will definitely be a blessing to both culture and economy.DHealth worsens with age,but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.E.Many bosses think productivity falls with
46、 age,but studies in Germany suggest otherwise.F.That will disturb consumers, service and financial markets.G.The yold,in their new appearance as the young old, are expected to change the world.三、完形填空 It had been a long business trip.

59、“my brother” Henry. He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.“Kirstie, come here, my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. Henrys book was in the bathtub. Did you put it th
60、ere?” She glared at me, something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didnt wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mothers love. He was ruining my life.Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby,
61、 absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot （绳结）as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work? Far from manly!Soon, it was time to have to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, Its the first time for Henry to
62、be onstage. Be kind to him, Honey. I nodded but sighed. Being kind didnt use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didnt seem so special any more.Finally, it was our stage time. My heart
63、beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring （束带）on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under

Seeing what Henry did for me, something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually ga

It turned out a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thanks,” I said with a grate
70、ful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “KNOT a problem. You are my sister,” he grinned innocently, saying humorously. Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere, I felt a flood of warmth of a big family. Maybe it wouldnt be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.
