murders. this is the classic rule for mass media. “they want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling,” jonah berger, a psychologist at university of pennsylvania told the new york times.but with social media getting increasingly popular, information is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are discovering new rulesgood news can actually spread faster and farther than disasters and other sad stories.berger and his colleague katherine milkman looked at thousands of articles on the new york times website and analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.one of his findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list. those stories aroused feelings of awe (敬畏) and made the readers want to share this positive emotion with others.besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “the more positive an article was, the more likely it was to be shared,” berger wrote in his new book. “for example, stories about newcomers falling in love with new york city,” he writes, “tended to be shared more than the death of a popular zookeeper.”but does all this good news actually make the audience feel better? not necessarily.according to a study by researchers at harvard university, people tend to say more positive things about themselves when theyre talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on microblogs. this, researchers found, makes people think that life is unfair and that theyre less happy than their friends.but no worries. theres a quick and easy way to relieve the depression you get from viewing other peoples seemingly perfect lives turn on the television and watch the news. there is always someone doing worse than you are.32. bad news covers most papers because . a. the public care for reading tragedies b. the public intend to express sympathy for victimsc. mass media want to attract the publics attention d. mass media appeal to the public to help victims33. which of the following might be e-mailed most according to berger? a. the perfect vacation of your friend b. the story of a determined inventor c. the death of a popular zookeeper d. the flood hitting a small town34. we can infer from the passage that . a. bad news always makes people sad b. people prefer to share bad news with a bigger audience c. people can relieve the depression by reading good news d. good news sometimes has negative influence35. what would be the best title for the passage? a. good news spreads fast b. bad news travels fast c. the effect of bad news d. the power of good news第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。what will you do if you cant eat everything bought in the canteen? 36 according to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. 37 . according to xinhua news agency, the food wasted by chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. in the west, for instance, consumerism, the belief that its a good thing to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. 38 . chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. on campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat. 39 . there are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas. they dont have enough food to eat. many children die for lack of nutrition each year in some african countries. and farmers work very hard to grow the crops. 40 . its also important that everyone should think about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. a. students waste is extremely serious. b. most of us would simply throw away any leftover food. c. students can never realize the serious food crisis.d. so theres no excuse that we should waste our food.e. but canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg (冰山). f. compared with them, some live in a different world.g. china, in turn, features its own eating culture.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、 b 、c
