At last, the girls win the competitions for their lives, as well as become role models inspiring numerous women.
Looing Up
Looing Up tells a story about the influence of a father’s education. Ma Haowen, the father, always tries to educate his child in his unique way, creating a relatively relax environment for his son. The only one requirement he has for his son is to never stop thinking. He hopes that his child can think independently and follow his heart to face the world bravely. With the encouragement and love of the father, his son achieves his dream of becoming an astronaut.
I am Sam
I am Sam tells a story about an unusual father and his daughter. Sam is a disabled person with mental disability.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Pursuit of Happyness标题下的段落的最后一句话“Based on a true story, this movie always brings strength to audiences and extols fatherhood.(这部电影以真实故事为基础，总是给观众带来力量，颂扬父爱)”可知，《追求幸福》这部电影是以真实故事改变，颂扬了父爱，给观众带来力量。故选B。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Dangal标题下的段落的第三句话“He discovers his daughters’ wrestling talent unexpectedly and decides to train them, for which they have to break the tradition and make painstaking efforts.

B
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parts less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director from Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be on habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
4. What is the problem with the author’s children
A. They often annoy their neighbours. B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friends to play with D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
5. How did David Bond advocate his idea
A. By making a documentary film. B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in London media. D. By creating a network of friends.
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in paragraph 2
A. records B. predicts C. delays D. confirms
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Let Children Have Fun B. Young Children Need More Free Time
C. Market Nature to Children D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了电影制作人David Bond为了让孩子们远离屏幕，拍摄自己的旅行，并将自然当作一个品牌，推销给年轻人。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. (然而，我的孩子们放学后想做的是拿起一个屏幕——任何屏幕——盯着它看几个小时)”可知，作者的孩子一放学后就想拿起屏幕，他们在屏幕前呆的时间太长了，这是一个问题。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marked to young people. (他记录了他的旅程，他开始把大自然当作一个品牌，让年轻人看到)”可知，David Bond通过拍一个纪录片宣传他的想法。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据本句“a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.（这部电影charts世界网络的诞生，世界网络这个组织的共同目标是让孩子们走进大自然。），由“a film”可知，本句主语是一部电影，下文“the birth of the World Network (世界网络的诞生)”解释了这部电影的主旨。由此推知，划线词charts意为“记录、描绘”，与“records”意思一致。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature. (他把自己的旅行记录下来，开始把自然当作一个品牌，推销给年轻人。其结果是Project Wild Thing，一部记录了世界网络诞生的电影，世界网络是以让孩子们接触大自然为共同目标的团体)”可推知，本文主要讲述了电影制作人David Bond为了让孩子们远离屏幕，拍摄自己的旅行，并将自然当作一个品牌，推销给年轻人，这是本文的中心内容。由此可知，C项“Market Nature to Children(把自然推销给年轻人)”适合作本文标题。故选C项。
C
How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision The answer for many of us, it turns out, is “hardly any”, even when spending a lot of money. Most people make two trips or fewer to a dealership before buying a car. We are not necessarily conserving our resources to spend them on bigger decisions either. One in five Americans spends more time planning their upcoming vacation than they do on their financial future.
To be sure, some people go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice, and it’s certainly possible to overthink things. But there are also people who are quick to jump to conclusions. This way of thinking is considered a “cognitive bias (认知偏差)”, a term psychologists use to describe a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
In our own research, we have found that hasty judgments are often just one part of larger error-prone patterns in behavior and thinking. We’ve also found that people who tend to make such “jumps” in their reasoning may experience a wide range of costs.
To study jumping to conclusions, we worked with more than 600 people from the general population. Because much of the work on this bias comes from studies of schizophrenia (精神分裂症), we borrowed a thinking game used in that area of research.
In this game, players encountered someone who was fishing from one of two lakes: in one lake, most of the fish were red, and in the other, most were gray. The fisher would catch one fish at a time and stop only when players thought they could say which lake they were fishing in. Some players had to see many fish before making a decision. Others, the jumpers, stopped after only one or two.
We also asked participants questions to learn more about their other thinking patterns. We found that the fewer fish a player needed to see the more errors he or she made in other beliefs, reasoning and decisions.
What our research and other recent studies show is that sometimes the most important decision can be when you choose to spend time considering before deciding. Even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help you avoid a major mistake.
8. Why does the author ask the question in the first paragraph
A. To raise a controversial issue. B. To introduce the author.
C. To develop a new concept. D. To lead to the topic.
9. Which of the following people may have a cognitive bias
A. A person who always regrets making a decision.
B. A person who buys a coat when seeing it at first sight.
C. A person who checks every detail before buying a car.
D. A person who suffers from the disease of schizophrenia.
10. What conclusion can we draw from the thinking game
A. Participants in the game are from a specific hospital.
B. The jumpers tend to make more mistakes in reasoning.
C. The fish in the two lakes were equal in number.
D. The fisher helped participants make correct decisions.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A. To advise people to think twice before making decisions.
B. To analyse the reasons for jumpers making quick decisions.
C. To explain the concept of a cognitive bias.
D. To provide some tips for people to make correct decisions.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过一项研究发现告诉我们：我们在做决定前应该花一些时间考虑一下，而不是匆匆做决定。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision The answer for many of us, it turns out, is “hardly any”, even when spending a lot of money. Most people make two trips or fewer to a dealership before buying a car. (在做决定之前，你会花多少时间做研究？事实证明，对于我们很多人来说，答案是“几乎没有”，即使是在花很多钱的时候。大多数人在买车前去经销商那里两次或更少。)”以及下文内容可知，作者通过提出一个问题：在做一个决定前你会花多长时间做研究呢？随后又给出答案说很多人都几乎不会花任何时间，由此来引出文章的主题即对于匆忙做决定者的研究及结果。故D项正确。
9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To be sure, some people go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice, and it’s certainly possible to overthink things. But there are also people who are quick to jump to conclusions. This way of thinking is considered a “cognitive bias (认知偏差)”, a term psychologists use to describe a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.(可以肯定的是，有些人在做出选择之前会仔细考虑每个细节，当然也有可能会想太多。但也有人很快就得出了结论。这种思维方式被认为是一种“认知偏差”，心理学家用这个术语来描述一种特定心理错误的倾向)”可知，很快得出结论被认为是一种认知偏差，因此推断B项“一个人在第一眼看见一件外套后就立刻买了”与作者描述的关于“认知偏差”的特征相符。故B项正确。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Others, the jumpers, stopped after only one or two.(其他人，匆忙决策者，只看了一两个就停了下来)”和第六段“We found that the fewer fish a player needed to see, the more errors he or she made in other beliefs, reasoning and decisions.(我们发现，玩家需要看到的鱼越少，他或她在其他信念、推理和决策中犯的错误就越多)”可知，一个在游戏中看到较少的鱼就做出决定的玩家在其他的看法、推理和决定方面也会犯的错误更多。因此推断快速决策者在推理时往往会犯更多的错误。故B项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“What our research and other recent studies show is that sometimes the most important decision can be when you choose to spend time considering before deciding. Even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help you avoid a major mistake.(我们研究和其他最近的研究表明，有时最重要的决定可能是你在做出决定之前选择花时间考虑。即使只是多收集一点点证据，也可能帮助你避免一个重大错误。)”可推测，作者写文章的目的是想要告诉人们在做决定之前要三思。故A项正确。
D
If you ask most people whether they like having more choices, the answer will be yes. But when it comes to sales, a large selection can actually hurt the sellers’ income.
Although people like choice, they become overwhelmed (不知所措) by it. Hick’s Law perfectly proves this. It states that there is a measurable increase in how long it takes somebody to make a decision as the number of options that are available goes up.
That delay in decision-making can prove damaging on an online shopping site because it tends to result in users giving up. They are paralyzed by the decision, and so, they decide to go away and think about it. That will significantly reduce the number of people who eventually make a purchase.
I know it can be hard to convince sellers to limit the variety of products or complex options they offer on their sites, but there is some strong evidence to support your cause. Researchers in California ran an experiment in a local grocery store. They set up a stall (货摊) in the store selling jam. Some days the stall would sell six flavors of jams, while on other days it offered 24 varieties. The results were significant. On days when they sold 24 varieties, they saw a mere four percent sales rate. However, when they offered only six choices, that figure rose to a surprising 31 percent. Limiting choice works.
That experiment perfectly shows both the problem and the solution. Despite the evidence, you will not always be able to persuade sellers to reduce choice. The next best option is to hide some of those choices.
Unlike a stall in a grocery store, we have more flexibility online regarding how products are displayed. We can highlight some options and hide others. For example, you could display the best-selling categories of products, while hiding other groupings under something like a “more” option. If you are unable to remove options, you can at least focus clients on the most popular choices.
12. What does Hick’s Law mainly tell us about more choices
A. They increase product sales. B. They lead to better decisions.
C. They can better satisfy customers. D. They make decision-making harder.
13. What does the underlined word “paralyzed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Attracted. B. Prevented. C. Controlled. D. Encourage
14. What do we learn from the experiment in the grocery store
A. More varieties produce more profits. B. Fewer varieties attract more customers.
C. More varieties reduce running costs. D. Fewer varieties create higher sales rate.
15. What does the author advise in the last paragraph
A. Improving product quality. B. Increasing product varieties.
C. Avoiding displaying all options. D. Hiding the best-selling products.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项研究发现，商家如果给顾客提供太多的选择，反而会导致顾客购买意愿的下降。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“It states that there is a measurable increase in how long it takes somebody to make a decision as the number of options that are available goes up. (它指出，随着可选选项数量的增加，人们做决定所需的时间有了明显的增加)”可知，席克定律(Hick`s Law)发现，选择的增加使得顾客做决定变得更难。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的“ They are paralyzed by the decision, and so, they decide to go away and think about it. That will significantly reduce the number of people who eventually make a purchase.(他们被这个决定paralyzed，所以，他们决定离开去考虑一下。这将大大减少最终购买的人数)”可知，太多的选择让顾客很难做出决定，最终甚至会放弃购买物品。由此可知，太多选择阻止了顾客，即paralyzed 与 prevented 意思相近。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“TSome days the stall would sell six flavors of jams, while on other days it offered 24 varieties. The results were significant. On days when they sold 24 varieties, they saw a mere four percent sales rate. However, when they offered only six choices, that figure rose to a surprising 31 percent. Limiting choice works.(有时，这家摊位会出售六种口味的果酱，而其他几天，它提供24种口味。结果是显著的。在销售24个品种的日子里，他们的销售率只有4%。然而，当他们只提供六种选择时，这个数字上升到了惊人的31%。限制选择奏效了)”可知，更少的选择带来更高的销售率。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you are unable to remove options, you can at least focus clients on the most popular choices.(如果不能删除选项，至少可以让客户关注最受欢迎的选项)”可知，作者提出的建议是：避免展示所有的的选择。故选C。

Consider that all people make mistakes, and it is common that at first, you do not know what to do to correct them. You should calm down a little and then let everything go to find the best solution.
___19___ Some do not even allow themselves to be wrong because they want to be perfect. The destructive goal is to push yourself to exhaustion (精疲力竭) in search of perfection. The healthy goal is to seek excellence in the result while enjoying the process of improvement.
___20___ What is now an unwanted result, in the future may become what helps you to achieve it, because it makes you worry, get back to work, expand the information you had and develop new skills to deal with the situation.
A. The first thing to do is to reflect.

Deliverance(解救) for Delivery Drivers
ZOOOOOOOOM!!! A gust of air, the hum of spinning wheels, and a flash of color whizzing past. I’m sure that we have all stepped into the crosswalk, at one time or another, and experienced this sudden, heart-stopping ___21___. I am, of course, referring to delivery drivers ___22___ through crossroads to deliver takeaway food.
Over the past few years, delivery drivers have been criticized, fined, and even ___23___ for breaking traffic laws across China. Delivery drivers often ___24___ red lights, disregard speed limits, and pay little attention to pedestrian crossings. But they also often pay the ___25___ price — each year, it seems like fatal injuries involving delivery drivers are increasing. ___26___, since delivery drivers are usually poorly paid, how much blame do they really deserve for running against the clock
Well, it ___27___ to be a complicated issue. Recently an article titled “Delivery Drivers, Stuck in the System” was shared widely on social media. According to the article, ___28___ between delivery services Ele.me and Meituan has caused each app to take increasingly extreme measures to out-do(超过) the other. This has included the shortening of delivery time windows. It has been ___29___, in part, through a combination of rewards for early delivery and severe punishments for late delivery. Over time, the platforms have only increased these ___30___ on drivers. As a result, drivers find themselves in a dilemma(左右两难的困境)：break traffic laws or, in some cases, lose hundreds of yuan in earnings for late deliveries.
According to surveys and reactions online, ___31___ care much whether their deliveries are a few minutes late, while most believe that it is not worth risking someone’s life for. In response, Ele.me and Meituan have added a combination of features to ___32___ delivery times for slow elevators or bad weather conditions.
Although these new ___33___ cannot solve the underlying problems of intense competition or the inherent dangers of driving they should, in some measure, start reducing some of the pressure on drivers. In the meantime, as ___34___, we can help to make life for delivery riders safer and easier. ___35___, be a considerate person and don’t leave them waiting for too long. If you see a food delivery guy rushing toward you on an escalator or into a door, consider standing back and letting him go first. After all, they are putting their lives on the line just to deliver our food.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在山里开车时，往往开的很慢。一天早上，和一只鹿的邂逅使作者感悟到应该放慢脚步，更充分地享受生活。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意： 当我在我家的山上开车时，我倾向于慢慢走，因为无论什么季节，森林风景都是梦幻般的。空处在句中作表语，所以用形容词。故填fantastic。
【37题详解】
考查比较级。句意：今天早上我开得比平时更慢，因为三月初的一场雪把路弄得很滑。结合空后的than和空前动词driving，这里应用副词作状语，slow和slowly都有副词的词性，所以比较级是slower或者more slowly，故填slower/more slowly。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：惊奇地看到一只鹿站在马路中间，我停了下来，盯着那只鹿看了几秒钟。分析可知，“ (amaze)to see a buck deer(公鹿)standing in the middle of the road”作状语，说明主语I的感受，用形容词amazed“惊奇的”，因处于句首，所以首字母大写。故填Amazed。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。句中come to a stop为固定短语，意为“停止”，符合句意。故填to。
【40题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：最后，我示意他继续。空处在句中为谓语，结合下文leapt可知，此处的时态为一般过去时，所以用动词wave的过去式waved。故填waved。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我们大多数人匆匆度过这一生，却不知道自己错过了什么。分析可知，空处及之后内容为定语从句，先行词为thing，其前有very修饰，在从句中作missing的宾语，所以用关系代词that，故填that。
【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：下次你发现自己开车太快时，慢下来。当宾语和主语为同一物/人时，宾语使用反身代词。此处指你发现你自己开车太快的时候，所以用反身代词yourself，故填yourself。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：花点时间看看你的孩子，拥抱他们，并告诉他们你爱他们。分析可知，空处前后动词hug和tell为并列关系，所以用连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意：如果你这样做了，你的生活就会变得更好、更美好。根据“主将从现”规则，if引导的条件状语从句使用了一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，故填will be。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你甚至可能在回家的路上不会撞到鹿。短语：end up doing“最终成为……”，句中使用hit的动名词hitting作宾语。故填hitting。

57. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My great-grandmother Eileen is ambitious (有雄心的), determined, loyal, strong and a bit of legend (传奇) in her own lifetime, which now reaches 92 years. I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day. I paid a visit to her. On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start. I just kept silent. Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table, saying “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you ”
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient.
“Yes.” I said.
“Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly. Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.”
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode (密码) and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
When I finally got her to swipe (滑动屏幕), she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it easy!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Come on. Eileen. One more try.” I said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. “This time I’ll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use. Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping.” added I. I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared. “I can’t wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily. “Thank you for your patience, Tom.” I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Great-grandma’s spirit inspired me greatly. It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I. There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it. My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from.
【解析】

Fathers’ Day, a day for people to express gratitude to their fathers. Many movies show and honor a father’s love. Here we have selected a few classic films themed on fathers. Take a look!
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness is a famous movie that shows us the importance of hope and belief, as well as love. In this film, the protagonist Chris is bankrupt and becomes a single dad. Although he is reduced to extreme poverty and faces tons of difficulties, he still works hard and tells his son to be positive. Finally, he becomes successful and pursues happiness with his son.

He discovers his daughters’ wrestling talent unexpectedly and decides to train them, for which they have to break the tradition and make painstaking efforts. At last, the girls win the competitions for their lives, as well as become role models inspiring numerous women.

With the encouragement and love of the father, his son achieves his dream of becoming an astronaut.
I am Sam

B
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parts less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director from Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be on habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
4. What is the problem with the author’s children

How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision The answer for many of us, it turns out, is “hardly any”, even when spending a lot of money. Most people make two trips or fewer to a dealership before buying a car. We are not necessarily conserving our resources to spend them on bigger decisions either. One in five Americans spends more time planning their upcoming vacation than they do on their financial future.
To be sure, some people go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice, and it’s certainly possible to overthink things. But there are also people who are quick to jump to conclusions. This way of thinking is considered a “cognitive bias (认知偏差)”, a term psychologists use to describe a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
In our own research, we have found that hasty judgments are often just one part of larger error-prone patterns in behavior and thinking. We’ve also found that people who tend to make such “jumps” in their reasoning may experience a wide range of costs.
To study jumping to conclusions, we worked with more than 600 people from the general population. Because much of the work on this bias comes from studies of schizophrenia (精神分裂症), we borrowed a thinking game used in that area of research.
In this game, players encountered someone who was fishing from one of two lakes: in one lake, most of the fish were red, and in the other, most were gray. The fisher would catch one fish at a time and stop only when players thought they could say which lake they were fishing in. Some players had to see many fish before making a decision. Others, the jumpers, stopped after only one or two.
We also asked participants questions to learn more about their other thinking patterns. We found that the fewer fish a player needed to see, the more errors he or she made in other beliefs, reasoning and decisions.
What our research and other recent studies show is that sometimes the most important decision can be when you choose to spend time considering before deciding. Even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help you avoid a major mistake.

D. To provide some tips for people to make correct decisions.
D
If you ask most people whether they like having more choices, the answer will be yes. But when it comes to sales, a large selection can actually hurt the sellers’ income.
Although people like choice, they become overwhelmed (不知所措) by it. Hick’s Law perfectly proves this. It states that there is a measurable increase in how long it takes somebody to make a decision as the number of options that are available goes up.
That delay in decision-making can prove damaging on an online shopping site because it tends to result in users giving up. They are paralyzed by the decision, and so, they decide to go away and think about it. That will significantly reduce the number of people who eventually make a purchase.
I know it can be hard to convince sellers to limit the variety of products or complex options they offer on their sites, but there is some strong evidence to support your cause. Researchers in California ran an experiment in a local grocery store. They set up a stall (货摊) in the store selling jam. Some days the stall would sell six flavors of jams, while on other days it offered 24 varieties. The results were significant. On days when they sold 24 varieties, they saw a mere four percent sales rate. However, when they offered only six choices, that figure rose to a surprising 31 percent. Limiting choice works.
That experiment perfectly shows both the problem and the solution. Despite the evidence, you will not always be able to persuade sellers to reduce choice. The next best option is to hide some of those choices.
Unlike a stall in a grocery store, we have more flexibility online regarding how products are displayed. We can highlight some options and hide others. For example, you could display the best-selling categories of products, while hiding other groupings under something like a “more” option. If you are unable to remove options, you can at least focus clients on the most popular choices.
12. What does Hick’s Law mainly tell us about more choices
A. They increase product sales. B. They lead to better decisions.
C. They can better satisfy customers. D. They make decision-making harder.
13. What does the underlined word “paralyzed” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Attracted. B. Prevented. C. Controlled. D. Encourage
14. What do we learn from the experiment in the grocery store
A. More varieties produce more profits. B. Fewer varieties attract more customers.
C. More varieties reduce running costs. D. Fewer varieties create higher sales rate.
15. What does the author advise in the last paragraph
A. Improving product quality. B. Increasing product varieties.
C. Avoiding displaying all options. D. Hiding the best-selling products.

Deliverance(解救) for Delivery Drivers
ZOOOOOOOOM!!! A gust of air, the hum of spinning wheels, and a flash of color whizzing past. I’m sure that we have all stepped into the crosswalk, at one time or another, and experienced this sudden, heart-stopping ___21___. I am, of course, referring to delivery drivers ___22___ through crossroads to deliver takeaway food.
Over the past few years, delivery drivers have been criticized, fined, and even ___23___ for breaking traffic laws across China. Delivery drivers often ___24___ red lights, disregard speed limits, and pay little attention to pedestrian crossings. But they also often pay the ___25___ price — each year, it seems like fatal injuries involving delivery drivers are increasing. ___26___, since delivery drivers are usually poorly paid, how much blame do they really deserve for running against the clock
Well, it ___27___ to be a complicated issue. Recently an article titled “Delivery Drivers, Stuck in the System” was shared widely on social media. According to the article, ___28___ between delivery services Ele.me and Meituan has caused each app to take increasingly extreme measures to out-do(超过) the other. This has included the shortening of delivery time windows. It has been ___29___, in part, through a combination of rewards for early delivery and severe punishments for late delivery. Over time, the platforms have only increased these ___30___ on drivers. As a result, drivers find themselves in a dilemma(左右两难的困境)：break traffic laws or, in some cases, lose hundreds of yuan in earnings for late deliveries.
According to surveys and reactions online, ___31___ care much whether their deliveries are a few minutes late, while most believe that it is not worth risking someone’s life for. In response, Ele.me and Meituan have added a combination of features to ___32___ delivery times for slow elevators or bad weather conditions.
Although these new ___33___ cannot solve the underlying problems of intense competition or the inherent dangers of driving, they should, in some measure, start reducing some of the pressure on drivers. In the meantime, as ___34___, we can help to make life for delivery riders safer and easier. ___35___, be a considerate person and don’t leave them waiting for too long. If you see a food delivery guy rushing toward you on an escalator or into a door, consider standing back and letting him go first. After all, they are putting their lives on the line just to deliver our food.

My great-grandmother Eileen is ambitious (有雄心), determined, loyal, strong and a bit of legend (传奇) in her own lifetime, which now reaches 92 years. I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day. I paid a visit to her. On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start. I just kept silent. Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table, saying “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you ”
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient.
“Yes.” I said.
“Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly. Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.”
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode (密码) and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
When I finally got her to swipe (滑动屏幕), she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it easy!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Come on. Eileen. One more try.” I said.
