21．（6分）Some of the best research on daily experience is rooted in rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.
Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.
More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and
activates(激活) conflict and defense mechanisms(机制). You assume that situations are worse
than they actually are.
When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your body’s production of oxytocin, a feel-good that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.
We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh every one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether you’re having a conversation, keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on what’s going right.
Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.
1、The underlined phrase “tune out” in Paragraph 1 probably means.
A．stop listening B．change mind
C．sing aloud D．be crazy
2、What will happen if you experience negative emotions?
A．The situations are sure to become worse.
B．Much of your thinking will be prevented.
C．You will feel an urge to improve and become better.
D．You’ll be motivated to resolve conflicts with people.
3、From Paragraph 4, we can learn that .
A．we need a positive feeling to beat one negative feeling
B．positive interactions have greater effects than negative ones
C．our conversation should center on what needs improvement
D．the effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．Harmful Negatives B．More Positive Interactions
C．How to Be a Productive Manager D．Less Time on Strengths
22．（8分） According to the International Ecotourism Society, eco-travel is “responsible travel to natural areas that protects the environment, maintains the well-beings and involves education”. Eco-travel is on the rise, as more and more people become conscious about their carbon footprint.
Expert from Boundless Journeys, Matt Holmes, who works-on travel experiences towards conserving areas said, “As scientists and non-scientists learn more about how we human beings are impacting the planet, I think. more people want to do what they can while still exploring the world. Our guests are definitely interested in that aspect of our journeys. Travelers can farm their own food in Italy, managing their use of water and using solar or wind power. They can also visit n family-run camp that cares for retired logging elephants in Myanmar, know a park entry fee goes to a conservation organization in Costa Rica, employ and train members of the local community or partner with a protection group. There are lots of options for seeking out greener holiday.”
Most people believe that eco-travel is expensive and it is true. Matt explained “Anti-poaching patrols (巡逻) need to be paid, solar energy equipment costs a lot to install, building with environmentally friendly, materials is more expensive and so on. The extra cost is necessary, as you re paying to minimize your footprint and protect the places you visit, which is exactly what eco-travel is about. The financial success and sustainability (可持续性) of an eco- focused operation doesn’t come from thin air.” The industry is trying to make eco-travel affordable and make it accessible to the common people.
1、What is the positive influence of eco-friendly travel?
A．It enables travelers to protect the environment while traveling
B．It keeps human beings healthy and happy in a friendly atmosphere.
C．It teaches us to be responsible for the development of economy.
D．It offers some valuable education about the knowledge of gardening.
2、According to Matt Holmes, travelers will be interested in ________.
A．eating delicious food in Italy B．visiting elephants in the zoo
C．working together with a protection group D．raising park entry fee in Costa Rica
3、What will probably be talked about in the next paragraph of the passage?
A．Why eco-travel is expensive.
B．How we can make eco-travel less expensive.
C．What material are used in eco-travel.
D．Where we can go for eco-travel.
23．（8分） While the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency(货币) altogether. Though this may sound radical(过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society.
Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 164, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative to carrying cash.
Over the years, the idea has gained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more comfortable with technology. Today many banks don't even have ATMs and some have stopped handling cash altogether!
Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones. Numerous businesses are also moving towards accepting only digital payments. Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!
But despite its growing popularity, some people don't like this radical idea. They include the homeless, elderly people as well as those living in rural areas who are still uncomfortable with mobile phones and computers. But the officials are confident that in the very near future, they will be able to convince everyone to move this safe and more cost-effective payment system.
Sweden is not the only country trying to abolish paper currency and coins. The movement is rapidly gaining ground in Denmark and Finland as well. In 2014, Israel announced a three-step plan to go cashless and just last week the vendors(小贩)of a popular street in Sydney declared they would stop accepting currency from customers. Whether this phenomenon spreads remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure—With increasingly advanced payment systems being introduced every day, pulling out cash is rapidly becoming “uncool”.
1、What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?
A．Many banks in Sweden don't have ATMs.
B．You don't have to buy tickets when riding buses.
C．People don't give the homeless money but food.
D．People can just take cell phones when shopping.
2、According to the passage, which information is RIGHT?
A．Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.
B．The younger generation is opposed to the measures.
C．Bus fare can only be purchased via cell phones in most Swedish cities.
D．Banks in Sweden have stopped dealing with cash completely.
3、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．An Advanced Country –Sweden
B．A Controversial Government Policy
C．Sweden to Influence the World's Cash Payment
D．Sweden to Become the Cashless Society
4、Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?
A．Education. B．Economy.
C．Travel. D．Insurance.

25．（10分） A member of our class told us of a request made by his wife. She and a group of other women in her church were involved in a self-improvement program. She asked her husband to help her by listing six things he believed she could do to help her become a better wife. He reported to the class," I was surprised by such a request. Frankly, it would have been easy for me to list six things I would like to change about her—my heavens, she could have listed a thousand things she would like to change about me—but I didn’t. I said to her, ‘Let me think about it and give you an answer in the morning.’”
“The next morning I got up very early and called the florist (花商) and had him send six red roses to my wife with a note saying, ‘I can’t think of six things I would like to change about you. I love you the way you are.
“When I arrived at home that evening, who do you think greeted me at the door? That’s right. My wife! She was almost in tears. Needless to say, I was extremely glad I had not criticized her as she had requested. ”
“The following Sunday at church, after she had reported the result of her assignment, several women wi
