How can you tell if someone’s lying? The answer is, they’re probably not. Traditional economics says that people are 1 beings who will lie if it’s to their advantage. A recent university study has shown that, actually, we’re pretty2 —especially when we’re at home.Researchers in Germany 3 people at home and asked them to toss (投掷) a coin. There was a strong 4 incentive (刺激) to lie about the result: if the coin landed tails-up, the participant would receive money, while if the coin landed heads-up, they would get nothing. Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no 5 of getting caught if they lied.And yet people told the 6 . Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up about 50% of the time. In this 7 over half the people asked (55.6%) said thatthe coin landed heads-up, which meant they would receive nothing.Previous studies had found that people were more 8 . In those laboratory studies, 75% of people reported a 9 coin and asked for a reward. So the research team thinks it’s being in our own homes which makes us play fair, althoughit's not yet clear why.In fact both types of study show people are surprisingly 10 . Even in the laboratory, 25% of people 11 a reward by telling the truth. The researchers saythis is because honesty is 12 valued in human society. We care about our 13 and our sense of ourselves as decent (体面的) people. So lying has a psychological14 and it seems this cost is more important than the financial benefits of15 .1.

AI love everything about making Easter dinner except the Saturday shopping. That day, the supermarket can be as crowded as a department store at Christmas. And this Easter, on top of my regular checklist, I had to buy the ingredient(原料) for a delicious, new recipe I’d discovered: sliced ham and turkey layered with Swiss cheese and cabbage, all wrapped in pastry dough.Trouble was that my work schedule had left me no time to shop earlier in theweek. I would get up extra early and take care of everything on Saturday morning, I thought, as I drove to the office on Friday. But that morning, Yola, one of my co-workers, asked if my husband Robert and I would help her move the next day. “I really don’t have anybody else to ask,” she apologized.“Sure,” I told her, soft touch that I am. Early Saturday morning, Robert, my 15-year-old son Ben, and I drove our truck to her old apartment. Oh, the piles of furniture and boxes! It took us till late afternoon to get her settled in her new place.By the time we returned home, I was exhausted. I don’t know how I’m going to go shopping now, let alone cook Easter dinner, I thought. The only ingredient I had at home was the cabbage. On the kitchen counter were two shopping bags of food that Yola had sent home with us -- her thanks for helping her move. She was leaving on a trip the next day, and didn’t want the food to go to waste.I reached into the first bag and pulled out a package of sliced ham. Well, that’s lucky, I thought. Then I pulled out a package of sliced turkey, and another of Swiss cheese. That’s strange, I thought. There’s no way Yola knew my Easter dinner plans.I reached back into the grocery bag, thinking of the Easter miracle. All of a sudden, the strangest feeling came over me. I lifted it out. It was a box of pastry dough -- the final ingredient I needed for my recipe.26.According to her plan, what was the author going to do on early Saturday morning?A. Shop in the supermarket.B.

But one American woman was unable to bear life without her much loved pet cat Nicky. He had been with her for 17 years; and when she knew he was going to die, she had him cloned. Little Nicky was cloned by an American company, called GSC. But the new cat cost his owner $50,000.“He is the same. His characteristics are the same,” the woman told news reporters. The company, Sausalito-based Genetic Savings and Clone, made her available to speak to reporters only on condition that her name or hometown was notused. The woman said she feared being the target of groups against cloning.“Nicky loved water, which is an unusual characteristic of cats. Little Nicky jumped into my bath. Most cats are afraid of water, but Little Nicky is different:he loves it, just like my old cat,” said the woman, who said she was in her early40s and worked in the airline industry. The company delivered Little Nicky two weeksago and was expected to publicly announce the news on Thursday.However, the cat’s creation has raised heated debate. Many people have said they felt disgusted at the amount of money spent on cloning a cat. They said thatshe should have chosen one of the many cats without a home -- cats like this area common problem in many countries. The woman has only told news reporters her first name, Julia, but she has already received nearly 100 frightening letters from angry people, who say that cloning is against nature. Little Nicky was not only expensive,but also, like all cloned animals, may have more health problems than an animal whichwas born in the usual way.GSC said it had to try 80 times before it succeeded in producing a cloned cat.The company is now using new techniques and soon they hope to produce cloned dogsas well as cats. GSC said that if people were not happy with the cloned cats or dogs, they could have their money back. At the moment the cost of cloning is very high,but the manager of CSC said he hoped that eventually it would go down, and that infive years, the cost should be $20,000 for a dog or $10,000 for a cat.31.Why did Julia have her cat Nicky cloned?A.Because Christmas is drawing near.B.

Themost popular theme program is the Night Flight Overnight Program where children aged 5 to 12 sleep in the zoo’s tree house. The overnight stays are not only popular with young children. Most overnight stays include a night tour during which youngsters experience the mysterious sights and unusual sounds of the zoo. A midnight snack and breakfast are also served.“It is a unique experience to be at the zoo without the crowds and additional noise,” explained Patterson, of the Denver Zoo, which has been running its Bunk with the Beasts program since 1998. With nearly 4,000 animals and 700 species the zoo attracts more than 1.8 million visitors a year. “The things you hear and see in the zoo are completely different,”said Patterson. On Denver’s two-hour tours, night vision scopes are provided so guests can see nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals such as owls, and indoor educational games increase the learning experience.Patterson said parents tend to be more worried about leaving their children than the children themselves. They have rarely had to call up a parent in the middle of the night. “They love it,” Patterson said about the children. “For many, it’s their first overnight stay away from home. They are so excited that by the end of the day they are so tired that they have no opportunity to worry.”“Guests at the new overnight program at the Queens Zoo make breakfast treats for animals, and watch the keepers feed them to the animals,”said Education Curator Tome Hurtubise. The growing popularity of overnight programs has caused zoos that only serve day-time visitors to think again. The Queens Zoo, which started their program this year, is so pleased with its success that they want to continue it next year.36.What can we conclude from the passage?A.The Philadelphia Zoo is America’s biggest zoo.B.It is becoming so popular that American zoos are open to visitors at night.C.Roars and Snores Overnight Programs are most popular.D.The overnight stay program is only for children.37.What can overnight visitors in the zoo do at midnight？A.They eat something.B.

The interviews focused on the participants’ psychological and emotional distress (痛苦) (i.e.whether they were nervous, sad, etc.) and if they had experienced any stressful events that day.The participants were also required to answer questions such as, “How would you rate your relationship with your mother during the years when you were growing up?” and “How much time and attention did your mother give you when you needed it?” The same questions were asked about fathers.People who reported they had a good mother-child relationship reported three percent less psychological distress compared to those who reported a poor relationship, according to Mallers. Men who reported having a good relationship with their fathers during childhood were more likely to be less emotional when reacting to stressful events in their current daily lives than those who had a poor relationship, according to her findings.Also, the quality of mother and father relationships was significantly associated with how many stressful events the participants faced on a daily basis. In other words, if they had a poor childhood relationship with both parents, they reported more stressful incidents over the eight-day study when compared to those who had a good relationship with their parents.Mallers explained why healthy or unhealthy relationships may have an effect on how people handle stress as adults. “Perhaps having caring parents equips children with the experiences and skills necessary to more successfully navigate their relationships with other people throughout childhood and into adulthood,”she said.41.What do we know about the study from the passage?A.It paid close attention to the effect of fathers on their children.B.912 children and adults took part in the study.C.It lasted as long as several months.D.It was funded by the California State University.42.In the interviews, people were asked about all of the following things EXCEPT ______.A.their psychological distressB. their emotional distressC. their childhood stressful eventsD. their childhood relationships with their parents43.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Parent-child relationships have a lasting effect on children.B.Adults with good childhood relationships with their parents are sure to be happy.C.The mother-child relationships is more important than the father-child one.D.The quality of parent-child relationships determines how people handle stress as adults.44.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the findings of the study?A.People with a good relationship with others suffered less distress.B.Men with a good mother-child relationship were more likely to be emotionallystable than women.C.Women were more skilled at getting along with their parents than men.D.People with good childhood relationships with their parents suffered less stress.45.The last paragraph mainly tells us about ______.A.how to live in a happy and harmonious familyB.why parent-child relationships are so influentialC.the importance of a happy childhood lifeD.the effect of the telephone interview第二节信息匹配（共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息, 并按照要求匹配信息, 请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。
