Quiet carriages on trains are a nice idea: travelers voluntarily make their phones silent, turn stereos off and keep chatter to a minimum. However, in reality, there is usually at least one sil

12、ly babbler(喋喋不休的人) to break the silence.A couple of problems prevent peaceful trips. First, there is a sorting problem: some passengers end up in the quiet carriage by accident and are not aware of the rules. Second, there is a commitment problem: noise is sometimes made by travelers who choose the

13、quiet carriage but find an important call hard to ignore.The train operators are trying to find answers. Trains in Queensland Australia, are having permanent signs added to show exactly what is expected; a British operator has invested in some technology to prevent phone calls.Microeconomics suggest

14、s another approach. Fining people for making a noise would surely dissuade(劝阻) the polluter and is a neat solution in theory, but it requires costly monitoring and enforcement. Another way would be to use prices to separate quiet and noisy passengersin effect, creating a market for silence. A simple

15、 idea would be to sell access to the quiet carriage as an optional extra when the ticket is bought. Making the quiet coach both an active choice and a costly one would dissuade many of those who dont value a peaceful ride.Charging may also solve the commitment problem. This is particularly tricky, a

16、s attitudes to noise can change during the journey. Some passengers would pay the quiet premium but still chatter away when some vital news arrives. Schemes that reward the silenta rating system among fellow passengers, for examplecould help. The idea is that losing your hard-won reputation offsets

17、the short-term gain from using the phone. But such a system also fails the simplicity test.A 2010 book by George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton argues that “norms”feelings about how everyone should behavealso play a role in decision-making. Charging a price, even if just a token amount, means the quiet

18、carriage becomes a service that fellow passengers have bought, not just a preference they have expressed. Perhaps different norms would come into play, encouraging calm. If not, a personal bubble is always an option: noise-canceling headphones start at around $50.1、According to the passage, what doe

19、s microeconomics suggest?AFinding the source of noise.BPutting a price on noise.CAvoid using a phone in the carriage.DInvesting more money in monitoring and enforcement.2、By “a personal bubble is always an option,” the author means _.Aone can make his own choiceBone should respect others privacyCone

20、 can create his own personal spaceDone should stick to his personal budget3、This passage is mainly about _.Apeoples favoured transportationBeffective methods of monitoring noise levelsCpossible solutions to noise in train carriagesDcommon forms of misbehavior of passengers22（8分） Generally speaking,

21、people like those who have a good sense of humor.Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for

22、 Brians being lateserious illness at homehe decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldnt work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone

23、was hard at work. Brians boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “Im Brian. Im applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesnt the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter. The boss

24、clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could wina laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, crit

25、icizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, its the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for raci

26、al and religious tolerance (忍受力) than people in any other forum.1、Brian was late for his job because _.Ahe got up lateBhe was seriously illChe was caught in a traffic jamDhe was busy applying for a new job2、What can we infer about humor?AIt is the early bird.BIt is important in our lives.CBrian ofte

28、t 8: 30.CIt wasnt the first time that Brian came late for work.DHumor is the most interesting way of solving problems.23（8分） A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in

29、mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. One recent stu

30、dy, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessaril

31、y. Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. H

32、igh motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to th

33、e muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that makin

34、g a list of resolutions on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the sa

35、me time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.1、From the studies in the passage we

36、 learn that .Apeople have unlimited self-controlBhigh motivation ensures ones successCwillpower is hardly completely exhaustedDtoo many temptations often lead to failure2、The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .Amake use ofBrun out ofCbuildDincrease3、The author compares

45、llery DThe history of the gallery25（10分） Feifei, an 11-year-old boy from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, suffered from a sudden acute eye disease which has almost led to blindness. The disease was caused by excessive(过度的)eye fatigue(疲劳)during the winter vacation, during which he played computer games for

46、continuous 10 days and nights.Many youngsters in China nowadays are increasingly addicted to computer games and other electronic products.

Pathological myopia cant be treated with glasses or surgery, and it is one of the biggest factors that lead to blindness, Xu Xun, director of the ophthalmology(眼科学) department at Shanghai General

49、 Hospital, pointed out.Experts explain that two major factors lead to the high rate of myopia among Chinese people. One is high academic pressure, and the other one is excessive use of electronic devices over a long period of time. Genetics, on the other hand, are not the main reason, as only 20 per

50、cent of Chinese people had myopia in the 1960s.Teenagers are now faced with severe academic pressure, which means they often study without natural light.
