The findings appear in the Journal of Consumer Research.Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business. She and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunc
16、h box. Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of things 22very different rates. When you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same
17、songs. The difference, the researchers supposed, might have to do with memories of past consumption.The researchers tested the memory capacity of undergraduates. The students then viewed a repeating series of three classic paintings. like The Starry Night： American Gothic： and The Scream .or listene
18、d and re-listened to a series of three pop songs .or three pieces of classical music. Throughout the test, the participants were asked to rate their experience on a scale of zero to ten. We found that people with larger capacities remembered more about the music or art, which led to them 23 (get) ti

So remembering more details actually made the participants feel like theyd experienced the music or art more often The findings suggest that marketers 24 cope with our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract us and keep us from fully rememberi

As for kids easily bored, just tell them to forget about it-it might help them have more fun.*Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate wit

The threat? A pierce to your skin, leaving behind an itchy red welt
27、and possibly even a serious illness. As you swat madly at the pests, you notice that others seem completely unbothered. Could it be that mosquitoes prefer to bite some people over others?The short answer is yes. Mosquitoes do _31_ blood-sucking preferences, say the experts. One in 10 people are high
28、ly attractive to mosquitoes, reports Jerry Butler, PhD, professor emeritus at the University of Florida. But its not dinner theyre sucking out of you. Female mosquitoes - males do not bite people - need human blood to develop _32_ eggs. And apparently, not just anyones will do.Who Mosquitoes Like Be
29、st? Although researchers have yet to _33_ what mosquitoes consider an ideal hunk (大块) of human flesh, the hunt is on. Theres a tremendous amount of research being conducted on what compounds and odors people exude that might be attractive to mosquitoes, says Joe Conlon, PhD, technical advisor to the
30、 American Mosquito Control Association. With 400 different compounds to examine, its an extremely laborious process. Researchers are just beginning to _34 the surface, he says.Scientists do know that genetics 35 for an overwhelming 85% of our susceptibility tomosquito bites. Theyve also identified c
31、ertain elements of our body chemistry that, when found in excess on the skins surface, make mosquitoes swarm closer.People with high 36 of steroids or cholesterol on their skin surface attract mosquitoes,Butler tells WebMD. That doesnt necessarily mean that mosquitoes prey on people with higher over

These people simply may be more efficient at processing cholesterol, the byproducts of which remain on the skins surface.Mosquitoes also _37_ people who produce excess amounts of certain acids, such as uric acid, explains entomologist John Edman, PhD, spok

Reading comprehensionSection A Cloze:15I recently met a Texan couple whose son was still in diapers.
35、 They were seeking to get him into a preschool that _41_ a private preparatory school with a great record for college admissions.The couple were ambivalent (uncertain) about doing this. They were from immigrant and working-class backgrounds, and had thrived in public schools. In theory, they believe
36、d that all children should have an equal chance to succeed. But I _42_ that if they got their son a spot in the preschool, theyd take it.Its a familiar story. Psychologists, sociologists and journalists have spent over a decade critiquing（评论；评判）the habits of “helicopter parents” and their school 43.
37、 They insist thathyper-parenting backfires creating a generation of stressed-out kids who cant _44_ alone. Parents themselves alternate between feeling guilty, panicked and ridiculous.But a new research shows that in our unequal era, this kind of parenting brings life-changing benefits. According to
38、 the research, when inequality hit a low in the 1970s, there wasnt that much of a gap between what someone earned with or without a college degree. Strict parenting _45_ an era of “permissive parenting” giving children lots of freedom with little oversight.In the 1980s, however, inequality increased
39、 sharply in Western countries, especially the United States, and the gap between white- and blue-collar pay widened. Permissive parenting was replaced by helicopter parenting. Middle- and upper-class parents whod gone to public schools and spent evenings playing kickball in the neighborhood began el
40、bowing their toddlers into fast-track preschools and spending evenings monitoring their homework and driving them to activities.American parents eventually increased their _46 caregiving by about 12 hours a week, compared with the 1970s.Not all the changes were rational. But_47_, the new parenting e
41、fforts seemed effective. When the researchers analyzed the 2012 PISA, an academic test of 15-year-olds around the world, along with reports from the teenagers and their parents about how they interact, they found that an “intensive parenting style” correlated with higher scores on the test.Its not e
42、nough just to _48_ over your kids, however. If you do it as an “authoritarian” parent defined as someone who _49_ directives, expects children to obey and sometimes hits those who dont you wont get the full benefits.The most effective parents, according to the authors, are “authoritative.” They use
43、reasoning to persuade kids to do things that are good for them. Instead of strict obedience, they emphasize _50,problem-solving and independence skills that will help their offspring in future workplaces that we cant even imagine yet.And they seem most successful at helping their kids achieve the ho
44、ly grails（圣杯）of modern parenting: college and postgraduate degrees, which now have a huge financial payoff.The benefits arent just _51. In a British study, kids raised by authoritative parents reportedbetter health and higher self-esteem. In the American study, they were less likely to use drugs, sm
45、oke or _52 alcohol.So why wouldnt everyone just become a（n） _53_ parent? Religious people, regardless of their income, are more likely to be authoritarian parents who expect obedience and believe in corporal punishment, the authors found. Working-class and poor parents might not have the leisure tim
46、e to hover or the budget to pay for activities and expensive schools. And they may _54_ feel that they need to prepare their children for jobs in which rule-following matters more than debating skills. Those who can afford to helicopter are probably making things even more unequal for the next gener
47、ation. Since theres apparently no _55_ to how much people will do for their kids, the prognosis for parenting doesnt look good. Yet another reason to elect people wholl make America more equal: We grown-ups can finally stop doing homework.41. A. changes intoB. feeds intoC. turns intoD. transforms in

51、f 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)As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, ha
52、lf of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations UNESCO and National Geograp
53、hic among themhave for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Gram
54、mar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience of living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and
55、oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials including photographs, films, tape recordings, a
56、nd field notes which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project Turin has started a campaign to make such documents available not just to scholars but t
57、o the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.56.Many scholars are making efforts to .A. promote gl

Here are some steps you can take.Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid. Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly
61、 tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed.For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal governments symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the s
62、ystem with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. (SEER)Use energy efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning. Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool pe
63、ople, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.Let a programmable thermostat “remember for you” to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy

And use fluorescent bulbs, which provide bright, warm light while using at least two-thi
66、rds less energy, producing 70 percent less heat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles

70、s every year（C）Earlier this year a series of papers in The Lancet reported that 85 percent of the $265 billion spent each year on medical research is wasted because too often absolutely nothing happens after initial results of a study are published. No follow-up investigations to replicate （复制）or ex
71、pand on a discovery. No one uses the findings to build new technologies.The problem is not just what happens after publication scientists often have trouble choosing the right questions and properly designing studies to answer them. Too many studies test too few subjects to arrive at firm conclusion
72、s. Researchers publish reports on hundreds of treatments for diseases that work in animal models but not in humans. Drug companies find themselves unable to reproduce promising drug targets published by the best academic institutions. The growing recognition that something has gone wrong in the labo
73、ratory has led to calls for, as one might guess, more research on research attempts to find rules to ensure that peer-reviewed studies are, in fact, valid.It will take a concerted effort by scientists and other stakeholders to fix this problem. We can do so by exploring ways to make scientific inves
74、tigation more reliable and efficient. These may include collaborative team science, study registration, stronger study designs and statistical tools, and better peer review, along with making scientific data widely available so that others can replicate experiments, therefore building trust in the c
75、onclusions of those studies.Reproducing other scientists analyses or replicating their results has too often in the past been looked down on with a kind of “me-too” derision（嘲笑）that would waste resources - but often they may help avoid false leads that would have been even more wasteful. Perhaps the
76、 biggest obstacle to replication is the inaccessibility of data and results necessary to rerun the analyses that went into the original experiments. Searching for such information can be extremely difficult. Investigators die, move and change jobs; computers crash; online links malfunction. Data are
77、 sometimes lost - even, as one researcher claimed when confronted about spurious（伪造的）results, eaten by termites （白蚁）.There has definitely been some recent progress. An increasing number of journals, including Nature and Science, have adopted measures such as checklists for study design and reporting
78、 while improving statistical review and encouraging access to data. Several funding agencies, meanwhile, have asked that researchers outline their plans for sharing data before they can receive a government grant.But it will take much more to achieve a lasting culture change. Investigators should be
79、 rewarded for performing good science rather than just getting statistically significant （“positive”） but nonreplicable results. Revising the present incentive （激励）structure may require changes on the part of journals, funders, universities and other research institutions.63.What is the problem repo
80、rted in those papers in The Lancet?A.Great achievements in medical research failed to get published.B.Money was wasted on follow-up investigations in medical research.C.Too many new research findings are not put into use after publication.D.Few scientists are devoted to building new technologies for
81、 mankind.64.Which of the following situation is most similar to the problem described in paragraph 2?A.A high school decides to cut its art programs due to the lack of fund.B.A patient gets sicker because he does not follow the doctors advice.C.A marketing firm tests a website with participants that
82、 are not target population.D.A drug company fails to produce the new drug due to no access to the latest data.65.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Measures are taken to ensure publication of tested results only.B.Scientific experiments must be replicable to be considered vali
83、d.C.Experiment replication is unoriginal and not worthwhile.D.Rewards should be given only to those nonreplicable findings.66.The purpose of this article is to .A.argue that scientific research lacks efficiencyB.explain the result of a recent scientific studyC.introduce some recent progress in medic
84、al researchD.highlight the possible problems of research studiesSection C （8 分）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.Both the gorgeous and non- gor
85、geous improved by being with other people.B.Sometimes the subjects in the pictures were shown as part of a three-person group.C.It turns out that people dont even need to be in an actual group to look more attractive.D.Its no secret that our definition of beauty is defined by a very clear set of phy
86、sical norms.AB. A big nose in the company of a small nose does not look bigger still; rather, both noses move closer to the average.AC. While being average-looking might seem like a bad thing, the research suggests thats not necessarily the case for attractiveness.According to a new study just publi
87、shed in Psychological Science, any one person seen in a group just seems better looking than when viewed alone. The reason: human eyes average things out, and when it comes to faces, average is usually good.67 Facial analysis studies show the symmetry （对称）is almost always regarded as prettier that a
88、symmetry and the most beautiful faces are the ones on which eyes are no more or less than a certain distance apart, and the forehead, chin, cheeks and other features take up no more than a certain share of the whole. Its the reason that models may be gorgeous but can prove awfully difficult to tell
89、apart.“Perhaps,” says psychological scientist Drew Walker of the University of California, San Diego, in a statement that accompanied the release of the study, “beautiful people are all alike, but every unattractive person is unattractive in their own ways.”To test how that plays out in a group sett
90、ing, Walker and his UCSD collaborator, psychological scientist Edward Vul, recruited 130 undergraduate students and showed them pictures of 100 different men and women. 68 Other times they were cut out to show just one face at a time.Still other times, the faces were taken out of context and arrange
91、d on a simple grid （网格） of either four, nine or 16 faces.Consistently, the researchers found, the sole shots were regarded as less attractive than the faces viewed in a group一whether in a real setting or on the grid. This was true regardless of the gender of the subjects and regardless of whether th
92、ey would broadly be described as following most definitions of attractiveness or unattractiveness. 69The explanation for the phenomenon, they believe, is the averaging effect and how it works. 70“Individuals with complementary features one person with narrow eyes and one person with wide eyes would
93、enjoy a greater boost in attractiveness when seen together, as compared to groups composed of individuals who have similar features,” Walker and Vul write.VI: Summary （10）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary within 60 words in your own words according to the passage
94、given below.“Parents today want their kids spending time on things that can bring them success, but ironically, weve stopped doing one thing thats actually been a proven predictor of success and thats household chores.” says Richard Rende, a developmental psychologist in Paradise Valley, Ariz., and
95、co-author of the forthcoming book “raising Can-Do Kids” Decades of studies show the benefits of chores academically, emotionally and professionally.Giving children household chores at an early age helps to build a lasting sense of mastery, responsibility and independence, according to research by Ma
96、rty Rossmann, professor at the University of Minnesota. In 2002, Dr. Rossmann analyzed data from a longitudinal （纵向的）study that followed 84 children across four periods in their lives in preschool around ages 10 and 15, and in their mid-20s. She found that young adults who began chores at ages 3 and
97、 4 were more likely to have good relationships with family and friends and to achieve academic and early career success and to be self-sufficient, as compared with those who didnt have chores or who started them as teens.Chores also teach children how to be empathetic and responsive to others needs,
98、 notes psychologist Richard Weissbourd. In research, his team surveyed 10,000 high-school students and asked them to rank what they treasured more: achievement, happiness or caring for others. Almost 80% chose either achievement or happiness over caring for others. As he points out, however, researc
99、h suggests that personal happiness comes most reliably not from high achievement but from strong relationships. “Were out of balance,” says Dr. Weissbourd. A good way to start re-adjusting priorities, he suggests, is by learning to be kind and helpful at home.The next time that your child asks to sk
100、ip chores to do homework, resist the urge to let him or her off the hook. Being slack(懈怠的)about chores when they compete with school sends your child the message that grades and achievement are more important than caring about others. What may seem like small messages in the moment add up to big one

121、u know anything about narrow boats in Britain? Their boats you see in the British canals which are truly narrow, about two meters wide. They are, however, long enough to have bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, where people can live for weeks at a time. These days more and more people are spending the
122、ir vacations on narrow boats. We can trace the origin of the boats to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. In the mid-eighteenth century, British people constructed many canals all over the island of Great Britain. The canals were narrow, and the boats had to be narrow too. The boats were use
123、d to transport coal, iron and steel. After railroads became common, narrow boats went out of fashion and were forgotten, only the canals remained. Why are the boats so popular today? First, as there are canals all over Britain, narrow boats can be easily accessed. People do not have to travel far or
124、 rush to an airport to start their vacations; Second, the boats are safe and easy to steer. Even though they have engines now, they sail just a little faster than walking speed, so no license is required; Finally, the slow pace makes the voyage fun. People on board enjoy saying hello to other boater
125、s when they pass each other. Since most of the canals are for leisure use, nobody is in a hurry. In this way, British people can refresh themselves and forget about their busy life. What used to carry iron and steel now provides a slow, peaceful experience.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.Why

127、esigners spent three days inside a Mars Research Center to get new design ideas. The Mars Desert Research Station in the U.S. State of Utah operated by the Mars Society attempts to create a Mars environment for humans taking part in experiments and training. There are also separate areas for eating,
128、 sleeping and other activities to prepare future space travelers for living in very small areas with limited supplies. Constance Adams, a space architect from NASA said the experience was meant to show the team how conditions in space affect the whole design process. For example, air is very limited
129、 in space and must be reused for many months, even years. Another consideration is the huge cost of space transportation. Adam said it would currently cost about two million dollars to transport just one kilo of mass to the surface of Mars. Marcus Engman Ikeashead of design, my dream outcome would b
130、e to solve the biggest problem on earth, I guess its the same problem in space, and that is the thing about storage, how could you make storage in a completely new way. Being put in such a different and demanding environment forces us to think much morecreatively. The Ikea designers are also working
131、 with NASA to create apace-inspired furniture collection to launch in 2019, and who knows. Ikea might even make it to Mars someday. If so, the companys popular products could be discovered by new life forms we dont even yet know about(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.Why did Ikea send a team t
