21、   Wealthy people may be likely to be against redistribution of wealth, according to new research. The findings indicate that it is because people use their own neighborhoods and communities as a standard of how much wealth other people have, leading wealthy people to believe the bigger population as being wealthier than it actually is.

“If you're rich, there's good chance for you to know lots of other rich people and relatively few poor people； likewise, if you're poor, you're likely to know fewer wealthy people and more poor ones," says study co-author Robbie Sutton. "Even if people think objectively and follow rules of statistical inference, richer and poorer people may be led by the information available to them, to very different conclusions about how wealthy other people are, on. average, and how wealth is distributed across society. ”

"These results suggest that the rich and poor do not simply have different attitudes to how wealth should be distributed across society； rather, they subjectively experience living in different societies," adds Rael Dawtry, the study's lead author. "In the relatively richer America crowded by wealthier Americans, there is perhaps less need to distribute wealth more equally. " The findings suggest that attitudes toward wealth distribution come from more than just an economic motivation to protect one's self-interest or financially protective political ideologies （意识形态）----the information provided by our living environment also plays an important role.

The research covered over 600 US adults to complete an online survey in two studies. The participants were asked to estimate the distribution of household income for their social contacts and also for the whole US population in two studies—they estimated what percentage of people fell into each one of 11 income groups； then they estimated the average income of people within each income group. Then, the participants were asked how fair they thought income distribution in the US was and how satisfied they were with it. The participants also answered questions testing their attitudes toward redistribution.

To ensure that the findings were actually related to the individual s social circles and not some other psychological bias, the researchers then analyzed data from over 4,000 voters in New Zealand. The data showed that the relationship between voters' income and their perceptions of economic fairness in New Zealand was driven by the level of economic condition in their neighborhood.

"These results show the importance of examining ecological processes, in addition to political ideological or self-interest, for understanding economic preferences, says Dawtry. "Attitudes to redistribution and the economic position appear to be subject to informational biases in the environment as well as biases in the mind. " According to Sutton, the findings may also help to explain the political polarization （两极分化）observed in countries like the United States.

"As richer and poorer people increasingly live separated live, the information available becomes increasingly misunderstood, and increasingly different, he notes. "People are, effectively, living in an informational bubble, surrounded by people with incomes like theirs but unlike many other Americans."

【1】What's the reason for incorrect conclusions on others' wealth?

A.The objective thoughts.

B.The improper information.

C.Disobeying rules of statistics.

D.The balance of wealth distribution.

【2】What causes the difference in people's attitudes to wealth distribution?

A.Subjective judgment to societies they live in.

B.The biases against political ideologies.

C.The change of the surrounding environment.

D.Dissatisfying protection of self-interest.

【3】What's the benefit of the research according to Sutton?

A.Making us understand economic preferences.

B.Giving us an explanation of the political polarization.

C.Making us consider political ideologies or self-interest.

D.Influencing our attitudes to wealth redistribution.

【4】What's the title of the passage?

A.Wealthy People Are More Likely To Support Wealth Redistribution

B.Wealthy People Are More Likely To Have Right Information On Wealth

C.Having Wealthy Neighbors Keeps Beliefs On Overall Wealth Distribution

D.Having Wealthy Neighbors Misleads Beliefs On Overall Wealth Distribution

22、Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English Faster

Have you realised that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English? Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that.

Hello English

It covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spelling, speaking and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, the latest news, and books.

HelloTalk

HelloTalk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills. However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even make video calls with other people.

23、   Today, widespread social pressure to immediately go to college together with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year. After all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn’t it? And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn’t feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn’t academic.

But while this may be true, it’s not a good enough reason to condemn gap years. There’s always a constant fear of falling behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated (长期存在的) “race to the finish line”, whether that be toward graduate school, medical school or successful career. But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits. In fact, it probably improves it.

Studies from the United States and Australia show that students who take a gap year are generally better prepared for and perform better in college than those who do not. Rather than pulling students back, a gap year pushes them ahead by preparing them for independence, new responsibilities and environmental changes — all things that first-year students often struggle with the 「most. Gap year experiences can lessen the blow when it comes to adjusting to college and being thrown into a brand new environmental, making it easier to focus on academics and activities.

If you’re not convinced of the value in taking a year off to explore interests, then consider its financial impact on future academic choices. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 80 percent of college students end up changing their majors at least once. This isn’t surprising, considering the basic compulsory high school curriculum leaves students with a poor understanding of themselves listing one major on their college applications, but switching to another after taking college classes. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but depending on the school, it can be costly to make up credits after switching too late in the game. At Bost on College, for example, you would have to complete an extra year were you to switch to the nursing school from another department. Taking a gap year to figure things out initially can help prevent stress and save money later on.

【1】High-school graduates don’t take a gap year probably because ________.

A.they think it academically misleading

B.they have a lot of fun to expect in college

C.it seems silly to take courses off the campus

D.it feels strange to be different from others

【2】The underlined word “hinder” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”.

A.achieve B.prevent

C.develop D.compensate

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.Switching to another major won’t cost freshmen a lot.

B.All freshmen find it difficult to adapt to the new environment.

C.Taking a gap year helps freshmen concentrate more on studies.

D.High school students know nothing about how to choose a major.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A.The Benefits of the Gap Year B.The ABCs of the Gap Year

C.The Gap Year Comes Back D.The Gap Year: A Dilemma

24、The Pew report—which was based on surveys carried out in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland and the Czech Republic—concluded that the European Union was “ the new sick man of Europe”.

The percentage of Europeans with a favorable view of the EU has plunged from 60 percent last year to 45 percent now.

The UK may be considered the most Eurosceptic（欧洲怀疑论者）country, but its support for the union has barely changed in the past 12 months, slipping only two points to 43 percent.

By contrast, France’s backing for the EU has slipped sharply, from 60 percent last year to 41 percent today.

On the question of whether to remain in the EU, 46 percent of the British want to leave the union and surprisingly, the same percentage want to stay.

The Pew report’s authors said, “The long-drawn economic crisis has created bad forces that are pulling European public opinion apart, separating the French from the Germans and Germans from everyone else.”

They added, “The effort over the past half century to create a more united Europe is now the main disaster of the euro crisis. The European project now stands in a bad reputation across much of Europe.”

The only European leader rated highly by their own voters was the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with 74 percent voters in favor of her.

Prime Minister David Cameron was the next highest with a positive score of 37 percent among the British public, although he can take some comfort from the fact that 58 percent of Poles（波兰人）and half of all French people think he is doing a good job.

In spite of the dark economic future and growing doubt of the EU, there were strong majorities of more than 60 percent in favor of keeping the euro in the five countries surveyed that use the single currency.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about the recent Pew report?

A. The UK has the smallest number of people against the EU.

B. There’s a slight change of the UK’s support for the EU.

C. More than half the Germans raise doubt about the EU.

D. A vast majority of French people are in favor of the EU.

【2】As to whether to remain in the EU, ______.

A. The British are divided equally   B. few British want to stay

C. half British want to leave   D. many British don’t care about it

【3】What’s the Pew report’s authors’ attitude towards the relation between France and

Germany?

A. Enthusiastic.   B. Optimistic.

C. Negative.   D. Neutral.

【4】Why does Prime Minister David Cameron feel a little bit comfortable?

A. Only a score of 37 percent of Britons go against him.

B. Many of the Poles and French think well of him.

C. More than 60 percent of the Europeans are in favor of keeping the euro.

D. Angela Merkel has 74 percent voters supporting her.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Little Tom was a student in senior high school. He was not good at his work and failed many times in the exams, and he never knew why he couldn’t catch up with others.

One day, Tom and his teacher were walking through the forest. He was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest. He asked his teacher, “Why most people’s minds are restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to calm the mind down?”

The teacher looked at Tom, smiled and told him a story:

On one beautiful day, an elephant was standing by the shade of a tree, eating its leaves. Suddenly, a small fly came buzzingly and landed on the elephant’s ear. The elephant stayed calm and continued eating, ignoring the fly. The fly flew around the elephant’s ear, buzzing noisily, yet the elephant seemed to be unaffected. This confused the fly, and it asked, “Are you deaf?”

“No!” the elephant answered.

“Why aren’t you bothered by my buzz?” the fly asked.

“Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you stay calm just for a few moments?” asked the elephant, and peacefully continued eating the leaves.

The fly answered, “Everything I see, hear and feel attracts my attention, and all noises and movements around me affect my behavior.”

“What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still, while I am buzzing around your ears?”

“I can continue eating peacefully, because my five senses do not disturb my peace.”

“How is it possible?” asked the fly amazed and confused.

“Because I don’t let them rule my attention,” answered the elephant.

“I am in control of my mind and my thoughts, and therefore, I can direct my attention where I want, and ignore any disturbance including your buzz.”

“And therefore,” continued the elephant, “I am completely lost in the act of eating, enjoying my food and chewing it peacefully.”

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

After listening to the story, Tom’s eyes opened wide and smiled.
