People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a mans discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.Weve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone elses life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.24. Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?A. The cashier called a manager to help her.B. Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.C. There was something wrong with his discount card.D. He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.25.The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. changedB. increasedC. fadedD. formed26.The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because _.A. he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirstyB. he knew she had gone through much trouble recentlyC. he wanted to restore the trust between her and the manD. he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now27The last paragraph in the passage is intended to _.A. add a warningB. make a suggestionC. introduce a topicD. present an argumentCBeing able to take advantage of truly unlimited data is a smartphone users dream, but everyone Ive talked to about 5G is more excited about the usage unlocked by next - generation wireless devices. From smart home security to self - driving cars, all the Internet - connected equipment in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning - fast speed with reduced delay.“5 G is one of those forerunners, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. Self - driving vehicles are emblematic in this data age - they show application of data completely. With one single task, driving, you have large amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors (传感器)are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. Its pulling in data from other vehicles about conditions down the road. Theres lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the speed and lower latency (延迟).AR glasses and virtual (虚拟的)reality headphones havent yet been inside the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully saying that such equipment will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to improve - or even replace - smartphones.Ericsson showed at Februarys Mobile World Congress in 2020 how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on outside equipment for processing power.But dont get too excited. Theres still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including some necessary testing to make sure the radio plays nicely with basic systems and service construction so that 5G isnt concentrated only in big cities.28. What does the first paragraph focus on?A. Potential of 5G.B. The super speed of 5G.C. Usage of smart equipment.D. The future of smart equipment.29. Which word can replace emblematic underlined in paragraph 2?A. availableB. productiveC. representativeD. popular30. What is tech companies attitude towards the replacement of smartphones?A. Uncertain.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.31. Why does much work still need to be done according to the last paragraph?A. To make radio play nicely.B. To construct big 5G cities.C. To do 5G trials effectively.D. To expand 5G coverage fully.DHow people read facial expressions of others says a lot about their cultural practices, a new study suggests.In the study, about 80 Japanese and American student participants viewed a series of images (图像), each of which consisted of one center model and four background models. The researchers manipulated (操纵) the facial expression (happy, angry, sad) of the center or background models and asked the participants to determine the emotion (情绪) of the center figure.The majority of Japanese participants (72%) reported that their judgments of the center persons emotions were influenced by the emotions of the background figures, while the same percentage of western participants reported they were not influenced by the background figures.“What we found is quite interesting,” says Takahiko Masuda, a psychology professor from the University of Alberta. “Our results show that when Americans are trying to figure out how a person is feeling, they selectively focus on that particular persons facial expression, while Japanese consider the emotions of the other people in the situation.”“This may be because Japanese attention is not concentrated on the individual, but includes everyone in the group,” says Masuda.In another round of image-viewing, researchers monitored the eye movements of the participants and again the results indicated that the Japanese looked at the surrounding people more than the westerners when judging the situation.While both the Japanese and westerners looked to the central figure during the first second of viewing the photo, the Japanese looked to the background figures at the very next second, while westerners continued to focus on the central figure.“East Asians seem to see people in terms of the relationships to others,” says Masuda. People raised in the western culture tend to separate a person from their surroundings, while East Asians are accustomed to “kuuki wo yomu”, which literally translates to “reading the air” of a situation. “As a result, they think that even surrounding peoples facial expressions are an informative source to understand the particular persons emotion,” says Masuda.32Why were there background models in the study?ATo show the participants various facial expressions.BTo let the participants figure out their emotions.CTo see whether they would influence the center model.DTo see whether they would influence the participants judgments.33In the image-viewing process, the westerners _ than the Japanese.Aspent more time looking at the background modelsBspent less time looking at the background modelsCdetermined the emotion of the center model more quicklyDdetermined the emotion of the background models more slowly34“Kuuki wo yomu” in the last paragraph indicates _.Adealing with a situationBreading facial expressionsClooking at the surroundingsDknowing the surrounding people35Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AFacial Expressions Show EmotionsBCulture Affects How We Read FacesCTeam Work Strengthens RelationshipDCultural Differences Determine How We Feel第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项Signs of Eating DisorderAbout 30 million Americans live with an eating disorder. _36_ Yet many others are often hidden in plain sight.
