An advertisement.BWhenever we see a button on a doorbell or on a remote, we may press it. This is true in most cases. But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close” button on an elevatorMany people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait for the elevator doors to shut. But according to experts, the buttons are a complete trickthe doors will not close any faster however hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, making sure that all elevators stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only firefighters and maintenance workers(维修工) can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys. But to normal elevator riders, the buttons arent completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control. Experts have showed that a lot of buttons that dont do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons dont live up to their names. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer-controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”. They still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.That habit is here to stay, John Kounios, a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US, told The New York Times. “After all, Ive got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not try the chance?”25. The author writes the text to_.A. inform readers of kinds of fake buttonB. analyze what roles fake buttons playC. explore different ways to push buttonsD. explain why fake buttons were introduced26. The underlined “for this same purpose” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_.A. making people more patient B. improving peoples bad moodC. helping people build up confidence D. offering people a sense of control27. What can we know from John Kounios words?A. Pressing fake buttons is of no meaning at all.B. People dont know that what they press is fake.C. Some people press fake buttons just to kill time.D. People are supposed to quit pressing fake buttons.CHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But thats not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.28. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A. To advertise the cartoon made by students.B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.29. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A. His social skills could be affected.B. He will cause the destruction of the world.C. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.D. He might get separated from his friends and family.30. Which of the following may be the authors attitude towards phubbing?A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Opposed.31. What may the passage talk about next?A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.B. People who are addicted to phubbing.C. The possible consequences of phubbing.D. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.DMost countries would love to attract more tourists, but Norway, a country in northern Europe, rather wishes they would stay away. The country slashed its advertising budget (广告预算) for next summer after experiencing a flood of curious visitors that it felt unprepared to deal with.More and more people are visiting Norway. A big part of the success depends on Disneys 2020 movie Frozen, which was based on Norway. Since then, lots of tourists have come to see the real thing. Norway, however, does not want to accept growth because that would come at too high a cost to nature. It has now turned its focus toward sustainable(可持续的), slow tourism, in the hope that visitors will enjoy the Norwegian way of life for longer periods of time, in more environmentally-friendly ways.The Slow TV series is one of the changes to slow travel. Viewers can watch traditional Norwegian activities such as fishing and knitting.Another change is the growth of small, sustainable hotels in the countryside, whose prices are competitive with bigger hotels in town. One of them is 29/2 Aurland, a beautiful family-run farm hotel located deep within the Sognefjord. It offers countryside-styled cabins, an outdoor hot tub and food sourced from the organic(有机的) gardens.The owners of 29/2 Aurland say, “We want to be a sustainable choice to more visitors. But once you become famous, you get more crowds, and more pollution at the same time. We really want guests to slow down here, understand the culture and history of the valley, and meet the craftspeople who keep alive generations of traditions and live a simple and peaceful life.”32. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “slashed” in Para1? A. reduced. B. increased. C. balanced. D. overspent.33. According to the passage, what makes Norway a popular tourism attraction?A. Its successful advertising. B. Its wonderful natural scenery.C. The success of a movie. D. Its family-run farms.34. What do we know about the hotel 29/2 Aurland?A. It allows visitors to work on its farm.B. It is more expensive than hotels in town.C. It makes visitors enjoy Norway at a slow pace.D. It encourages visitors to live there longer.35. Why does Norway develop sustainable slow tourism? To stop people from visiting Norway. To help visitors enjoy Norway better. To protect nature from being polluted. To earn more money in other areas.A. B. C. D.
