Many illustrations列证）could be given of this from everyday life, but what is of particular interest to psychologists is how much peopled judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure. Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses. It would be a mistake to think that only particular changeable people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type. Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used.In a typical experiment, this is what may happen. The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual sense. The participants are not, therefore, aware of the real purpose of the experiment. Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are cooperating with the experimenter. The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line. They are then asked to look at a second card. This has three lines on it. One is obviously longer than the line on the first card. One is shorter and one the same length. They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card. The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines. When his turn comes he is faced with the consistent opinion of the rest of the group-all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct.What will he do? According to Asch, more than half of the victims chosen will change their opinion. What is equally surprising is that, when interviewed about their answers, most explained that they know the group choice was incorrect but that they yield to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion（视觉假象），or because they were afraid of being different.1、The psychologists are especially interested in.A. the evidence of the experiment.B. the changes in the attitudes of people.C. the difference in people's behaviorD. the degree of changes of people's opinions2、Why more than half of the victims changes their opinions in the experiment?A. Because they had been told about the answer.B. Because thought the group choice was correct.C. Because they submitted to the group pressure.D. Because their eyes were suffering from illusion.3、 The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to.A. illustrate the influence of group pressure on individualsB. encourage people to act against any groups opinionC. invite more volunteers to join in Asch's experimentD. tell the readers how to perform psychological experimentText 2Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world and famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, and cycling culture. It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its wide system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. The top museums to visit are the Rijks museum, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and an area for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of the city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. Ifs typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals around the town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain（地形）and it's a good choice to explore the city on foot.Money-saving Tips Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's South District where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center. Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money Instead of hiring a tour guide jump onto a canal boat.

Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents? bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn't eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn't care. 1 loved him beyond all reasons.I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly “shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancyhorse by two seconds.I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate.1、Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?A. Because she loved horses more than anything else.B.

Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearanceD. both Becky and the author won in the jumping eventText 4Rome, Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes. But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?In April 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun, because they were all extremely skinny. Banning ads due to the models, extreme figures isn't new. The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's no providing that they are at a healthy weight.So what is the healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23 less.People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may think that they are overweight, due to the images of models9 thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies whether they are overweight or not. This is a key factor in a lowered body image, low self-esteem, depression and possibly even eating disorders.I'm not blaming the fashion industry by any means. Ifs not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctor's notes from the models, ifs pushing fbr the ideas that the traditional fashion industry's body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.1、According to the text, why was one of Gucci 9s ads banned?A. Because the models didn't act according to the ruleB. Because its models are much too thin.C. Because none of its models had a doctor's noteD. Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way2、We can infer from the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3 that .A. many women on a diet to become modelsB. people don't know why models weigh lessC. models are becoming thinner with time going byD. the healthy weight fbr models hasn't been decided .3、What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?A , The changes in the standard of beautyB. The benefits of becoming thin figures.C. The negative effects of models imagesD. people's attitudes towards models9 images4、What is the author's tone of writing this passage?A. Objective B. Hopeful.C. Critical. D. Humorous.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 45).
