Shed caught me laughing at a piece of mail Id just opened. “Wake-up service; $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great-aunt Sara had owned 40 years ago. “Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.“Not really,” I admitted. “Its just outdated.”“Whats a wake-up call?” She frowned. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call. “Who sent this flyer?” she pressed.“Probably someone older,” I said, “and could use some money.”Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.“We dont need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.“Wait!” she shrieked. “I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Cant we order?”I looked at the flyer with its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone. As a kid, Id visited her over Labor Day, when Jerry Lewis would host his charity event for the disabled kids. Aunt Sara would squeeze my hand, then reach for the rotary phone, dialing the number on the screen. Holding the receiver between us, wed announce to the operator, “Wed like to help those kids.”Now here was my own child, showing the same big heart Id once been encouraged to have, and how could I ignore her? I googled the flyers return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child. When I asked how to pay the $2.50, he answered, “Mail a check.”Genie was happy all week. Friday night, I put the phone by her pillow so she could answer Raymonds call. She bounded to my bedroom to tell me all about how hed wished her a good morning and told her to have a great day, which she did.Technology has made some things outdated. But there are still other things the world will always require. In the rush and hustle of my daily life, Id temporarily forgotten that. I guess I just needed a wake-up call.28.

What did the author want to do with the flyer at first?A. Throw it away.B. Let Genie read it.C. Find out who sent it.D. Keep it away from Genie.30. What made the author finally decide to order a wake-up call?A. Her own childhood experience.B. The less fortunate wake-up man.C. Genies curiosity about the service. D. The information she found on Google.31. What might “other things” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Bravery and curiosity. B. Confidence and patience. C. Honesty and humor. D. Generosity and kindness.DWhenever we see a button, we are eager to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell and on the “on/off” button on the TV. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift. Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts “close” buttons are a complete scam (骗局), at least in the US the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons arent completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor, said, “ having a lack of control is associated with depression.”Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that dont do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose. For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace. But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.“That habit is here to stay,” John Kounios, a psychology professor, said. “Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons, I always press them. After all, Ive got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?”32. What was the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To analyze the functions of fake buttons. B. To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.C. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons. D. To explore peoples different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.33. In America, the “close” buttons on lifts _.A. are fake for the convenience of disabled peopleB. work only when people press them hard for a whileC. were specially designed to give people a sense of control D. cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case34. The underlined part “for this same purpose” in Paragraph 6 refers to _.A. making people more patient B. giving people perceived controlC. helping people to build up confidenceD. making people with depression feel better35. According to John Kounios, people who press fake buttons _.A. should give up this habit B. probably do so to kill timeC. consider what they do to be meaninglessD. dont know that what they press is fake第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）注意事项：用0.5毫米黑色签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷无效。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。Attraction of the MinionsWhen it comes to film, people usually favor good over evil, focus on the hero and ignore the supporting characters. _36 _Originally comedic background characters in the film Despicable Me（卑鄙的我）, these yellow pill-shaped nuts, have totally stolen the show and turned into a popular figure. This summer the characters debuted（首演） in their own self-titled movie in theaters abroad, having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a cartoon film according to USA Today.Recently, McDonalds has been including Minion toys with kids meals in some areas, causing loyal fans to flock to the restaurant to collect them all. _37_ The movies huge popularity even surprised its writers. “We never knew the Minions were going to be so popular. It just became a force of nature,” the films co-writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times._38_For many, the appeal is obviously their cuteness. Their simple nature can easily surpass cultures and age groups. Even children can draw them. Thous
