When my 14-year-old girl asked if I had any New Year’s parenting resolutions （教养子女的计划） earlier this month， I didn’t know how to answer.Who doesn’t want to be a new， improved version of the mum or dad they actually are？But raising teens is like living on the course of television game show “Total Wipeout”： just when you think you’ve got the hang of it， you’re suddenly facing those giant red balls.
I asked my two eldest daughters to come up with a “mum could do better” list.They were more than happy to help.Except for “more pocket money” and“fewer household chores （家务杂活）” as I’d expected， the girls wanted me to “slow down”.As a busy working mum， I’ve recently come to the realization that accepting the idea of slowing down could help me achieve a better work-life balance.Though I can’t be as relaxed as my teens， I can stop shouting “Hurry up！”
Next came “Put your phone down.” I felt a little bit dissatisfied with that.We take their phones away at bedtime and this almost ruined our relationship.Now they want to manage my screen time？SMH （shaking my head）， as the teens say.But the girls （and the other two， aged 7 and 12） pointed out that my husband and I always have our phones to hand.So， fair do’s， they’ll go in the cupboard every evening， out of sight.
They also wrote down “Listen to us more — really listen.” Like many parents， I sometimes say “because I say so” during bust-ups （激烈的争吵）， rather than take time to hear them out.This is often because time is not on my side， but teens take it badly when they don’t feel heard.We may have to make this a two-way thing， I tell my daughters.
24.What does the author want to express by mentioning “Total Wipeout”？
A.Raising teens is not a piece of cake.
B.Game shows help parents to raise teens.
C.It is necessary to make parenting resolutions.
D.Being a good mum or dad is every parent’s dream.

The headmaster of a primary school showed on television to support her idea that parents should“dress appropriately in daywear” when they drop off and pick up their kids from school.
Kate Chisholm， head teacher at Skerne Park Academy in Darlington， the UK， sent a letter home asking parents to set a better example for their children.
“I have noticed there has been an increasing tendency for parents to drop off and pick up their kids from school while still wearing their pajamas （睡衣），” Chisholm wrote.“Could I please ask that when you are sending your children， you take the time to dress appropriately in daywear that is suitable for the weather conditions？”
Kate Chisholm wants parents at her school to dress nicer.She appeared on British television station ITV to further explain her decision， saying she had started noticing the pajamas trend had been picked up by “30 or 40” parents at school.
Despite her determination to make school a nicer place to be， Chisholm admits that she can’t demand that parents dress up — such as Karen Routh， 49， who wore pajamas to drop off her 8-year-old daughter Holly， because she was running late and didn’t feel well.
“I imagine there might be some people who keep up wearing pajamas for the next six months to prove a point，” Chisholm said.“I can’t force people to get dressed but I will keep sending letters home in the hope that they decide to put on a pair of jeans.”
Wearing pajamas in public has also become a hot issue for some schools and states in the US.In 2015， a Florida school board member insisted on a dress rule for parents who showed up in the school in sleepwear.
28.The headmaster asks parents to pay attention to .
A.the way they dress B.the relations with teachers
C.the way they treat their kids D.the clothes they buy for their kids
29.How does Chisholm try to change this situation？
A.Asking kids to set examples. B.Keeping parents out of school.
C.Sending letters to persuade parents. D.Forcing parents to change by laws.
30.Why did Kate Chisholm appear on ITV？
A.She wanted to force Karen to dress properly.
B.Parents spent less time on their clothes.
C.She wanted to explain her decision about the parents’ dress.
D.She wanted to tell us more and more parents wear pajamas to school.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A.Strict laws should be passed to stop pajamas.
B.A Florida school will force parents to wear jeans.
C.People wearing pajamas in public will be punished.
D.More and more people are concerned about dressing properly in public.
D
Livestreaming （直播） through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online.It usually lasts between 5 and 10 minutes， and someone promotes a product.Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.
We analyzed （分析） 99，451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases.In terms of time， that is equal to over 2 million 30-second television advertisements.
To determine the emotional （情绪的） expression of the salesperson， we used two deep learning models： a face model and an emotion model.The face model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame of a video stream.The emotion model then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions： happiness， sadness， surprise， anger， fear or disgust.For example， smiling signals a high probability of happiness， while an off-putting expression usually points toward anger.
We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases， so we counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database.We then combined these probabilities with other possible aspects that might drive sales — such as price and product characteristics — to judge the effect of emotion.
We found that， perhaps unsurprisingly， when salespeople showed more negative emotions — such as anger and disgust — the volume of sales went down.But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople showed high levels of positive emotions， such as happiness or surprise.
A likely explanation， based on our research， is that smiling can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller.A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer’s expense.
32.What can we know about the livestreaming to sell goods online？
A.It challenges the physical economy. B.It helps big companies sell all goods.
C.It is very convenient for the buyers. D.It helps the sellers develop fixed expressions.
33.What does the underlined word “off-putting” in Paragraph 3 mean？
A.Unhappy. B.Embarrassed.
C.Surprised. D.Shy.
34.How do customers feel about the seller’s smiling？
A.They feel thankful. B.They feel happy.
C.They feel cheated. D.They feel so tired.
35.Which of the following could be the best title for the text？
A.Livestreamers Sell Products Successfully
B.Expressions Affect Selling Products Online
C.Emotions and Faces：What’s the Difference？
D.Smiling Can Increase the Sale in Reality

The coast is the most popular place for the English people to spend their holidays.Food in British restaurants is reasonably cheap， but rooms are not.Few English people rent houses for their holidays， but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house.Some boarding-house keepers provide all meals for their guests， but others provide breakfast only.
The British people may refuse to change the times at which they take their holidays， but they have shown themselves to be very ready to try new places.When they get home again， they always talk about how they spent their holidays.

39.C 上文提到该项目是波士顿市、波士顿公共图书馆和MBTA之间合作的结果。MBTA的总经理Phillip Eng表示，MBTA将继续寻找改善乘客体验的方法。C项（他表示自己对这一合作关系感到自豪）与空前一句之间为并列关系，是Phillip Eng所说的话的一部分。C项中的partnership与本段中的team effort相呼应。
40.B 在本句中，波士顿公共图书馆馆长David Leonard强调公共图书馆服务与公共交通对接的重要性。根据本空前的冒号可知，本空具体介绍其重要性，故B项符合语境。B项中的It指代空前的connecting public library services with public transportation。

me some advice？
W：We have a beautiful natural park.I can show you the way to it.
（Text 3）
M：Good afternoon.What’s the matter？
W：I’m afraid I’m not feeling well.I had a pretty high fever this
morning.
（Text 4）
W：Waiter， please serve me another beefsteak.My husband dropped my
first one on the ground by accident.
M：OK， please wait a moment， Madam.
（Text 5）
W：Thank goodness you’re here.I’ve been waiting for 3 days to get
the book.
M：Well， don’t blame me.It was my boss who forgot all about it.
（Text 6）
W：Why are you so interested in the history class？
M：Our history teacher Mr Zhang is really humorous.

learn many good historic stories from him.There is lots of laughter in his
class.

M：Ms Green， the high tourist season in England is coming again.Could
you tell us more about the tourism in England？
W：Sure.In England， not only the rich but also the poor take holidays
every year.During July and August most towns are empty.Factory
holidays come mostly in the period between mid-July and mid-
August.State schools usually only have six weeks off， from about mid-
July to the end of August.
The coast is the most popular place for the English people to spend
their holidays.Food in British restaurants is reasonably cheap， but rooms
are not.Few English people rent houses for their holidays， but one of the
traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding
house.Some boarding-house keepers provide all meals for their guests，
but others provide breakfast only.
The British people may refuse to change the times at which they
take their holidays， but they have shown themselves to be very ready to
try new places.When they get home again， they always talk about how
they spent their holidays.

When my 14-year-old girl asked if I had any New Year’s parenting
resolutions （教养子女的计划） earlier this month， I didn’t know how
to answer.Who doesn’t want to be a new， improved version of the
mum or dad they actually are？But raising teens is like living on the course
of television game show “Total Wipeout”： just when you think
you’ve got the hang of it， you’re suddenly facing those giant red
balls.
I asked my two eldest daughters to come up with a “mum could do
better” list.They were more than happy to help.Except for “more
pocket money” and“fewer household chores （家务杂活）” as I’d
expected， the girls wanted me to “slow down”.As a busy working
mum， I’ve recently come to the realization that accepting the idea of
slowing down could help me achieve a better work-life balance.Though I
can’t be as relaxed as my teens， I can stop shouting “Hurry up！”
Next came “Put your phone down.” I felt a little bit dissatisfied
with that.We take their phones away at bedtime and this almost ruined our
relationship.Now they want to manage my screen time？SMH （shaking
my head）， as the teens say.But the girls （and the other two， aged 7
and 12） pointed out that my husband and I always have our phones to
hand.So， fair do’s， they’ll go in the cupboard every evening， out
of sight.
They also wrote down “Listen to us more — really listen.” Like
many parents， I sometimes say “because I say so” during bust-ups
（激烈的争吵）， rather than take time to hear them out.This is often
because time is not on my side， but teens take it badly when they don’t
feel heard.We may have to make this a two-way thing， I tell my
daughters.

The headmaster of a primary school showed on television to support
her idea that parents should“dress appropriately in daywear” when they
drop off and pick up their kids from school.
Kate Chisholm， head teacher at Skerne Park Academy in
Darlington， the UK， sent a letter home asking parents to set a better
example for their children.
“I have noticed there has been an increasing tendency for parents to
drop off and pick up their kids from school while still wearing their
pajamas （睡衣），” Chisholm wrote.“Could I please ask that when
you are sending your children， you take the time to dress appropriately in
daywear that is suitable for the weather conditions？”
Kate Chisholm wants parents at her school to dress nicer.She
appeared on British television station ITV to further explain her decision，
saying she had started noticing the pajamas trend had been picked up by
“30 or 40” parents at school.
Despite her determination to make school a nicer place to be，
Chisholm admits that she can’t demand that parents dress up — such as
Karen Routh， 49， who wore pajamas to drop off her 8-year-old
daughter Holly， because she was running late and didn’t feel well.
“I imagine there might be some people who keep up wearing
pajamas for the next six months to prove a point，” Chisholm said.“I
can’t force people to get dressed but I will keep sending letters home in
the hope that they decide to put on a pair of jeans.”
Wearing pajamas in public has also become a hot issue for some
schools and states in the US. In 2015， a Florida school board member
insisted on a dress rule for parents who showed up in the school in
sleepwear.

Livestreaming （直播） through channels such as Amazon Live and
QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online.It usually lasts
between 5 and 10 minutes， and someone promotes a product.Viewers
can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.
We analyzed （分析） 99，451 sales cases on a livestream selling
platform and matched them with actual sales cases.In terms of time， that
is equal to over 2 million 30-second television advertisements.
To determine the emotional （情绪的） expression of the
salesperson， we used two deep learning models： a face model and an
emotion model.The face model discovers the presence or absence of a
face in a frame of a video stream.The emotion model then determines the
probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions：
happiness， sadness， surprise， anger， fear or disgust.For example，
smiling signals a high probability of happiness， while an off-putting
expression usually points toward anger.
We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times
in the sales cases， so we counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62
million frames in our database.We then combined these probabilities with
other possible aspects that might drive sales — such as price and product
characteristics — to judge the effect of emotion.
We found that， perhaps unsurprisingly， when salespeople showed
more negative emotions — such as anger and disgust — the volume of
sales went down.But we also found that a similar thing happened when the
salespeople showed high levels of positive emotions， such as happiness
or surprise.
A likely explanation， based on our research， is that smiling can be
disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller.A
seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining
interests at the customer’s expense.

32. What can we know about the livestreaming to sell goods online？
A. It challenges the physical economy.
B. It helps big companies sell all goods.
C. It is very convenient for the buyers.
D. It helps the sellers develop fixed expressions.

品，即网购对于消费者而言很方便。
33. What does the underlined word “off-putting” in Paragraph 3
mean？

解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子可知，微笑意味
着快乐的可能性很大，而另一种表情则指向愤怒。且该句中的
while表对比，所以画线词和smiling相对立，意思为“令人不愉快
的”。
34. How do customers feel about the seller’s smiling？

to grandparents’ house alone.So， please let me go by myself.”
His parents didn’t agree at first but Adam insisted （坚持）.They
finally agreed.But they were worried about his safety.So， they taught
him everything he needed to know to travel alone.
The day came when Adam was to leave for his grandparents’
house.And his parents came to see him off at the train station.When the
boy was comfortably seated on the train， his parents got off and waited
for the train to leave.
While waiting， the father went to the window and kept talking to his
son.He handed his son an envelope from the window and said， “Son，
if you feel afraid on the way， open this and read it.It will help you to
calm down.”
The boy kept that envelope in his pocket carefully and said goodbye
to his parents.When the train was ready to leave， the boy smiled and told

man， especially the cuts on the man’s face.He wanted to go and ask the
train conductor to change his seat but he feared to tell the conductor his
idea.
Then he remembered his father’s letter.He put his hand in his
pocket quietly and took out the letter.His father had written， “Don’t
be afraid， my little brave man.Just imagine I am here with you on the
train， in the neighbouring car.”After reading that letter， the boy’s
face lit up without any fear.He put back the letter in his pocket， and then
put on his headphone.With relaxing music， he soon fell asleep.
