She realized she could also be stubborn when she felt ____9____, and that her negative connection to her father made her less trusting of other people in her life. “I never allowed myself to dive deeply into relationships.

The effort it takes to be constantly on guard is exhausting,” she says. “It reminds you of life’s happy moments.” Today, she’s thankful to be able to approach others more ____10____ and with an open heart.Trust is one of the most important elements of a safe, fulfilling and well-functioning relationship.

高考英语完形填空专项训练Some fifteen years ago,when smartphone apps were new and few truly understood their potentials,retailers(零售商)barely knew that consumers could browse in stores while comparing prices and__1__from other item providers through certain apps before__2__makingthe purchase online.Ten years ago,brick-and-mortar(实体店)retailers had to acknowledge that showrooming existed and appeared to be a threat.That’s the year when retailers were up in arms as online giant Amazon released an“evil”promotion that encouraged consumers to visit__3__ stores and use Amazon’s Price Check app at the same time.Any purchase completed through the app was given__4__discounts,which significantly stimulated sales and__5__many shop owners to the edge of bankruptcy.From the point on,retailers began launching strategies to combat showrooming including releasing__6__items for sale so that no reference prices from other sources are available for comparison.“Media have reported showrooming as a big threat to physical stores,”says Casey Carl,a retailer.“However,less__7__is the fact that it is also the greatest opportunity for us.”Retailers need to accept that the act of showrooming is not illegal and any sensible buyer tends to__8__ prices.As there’s nothing you can do about it,you might as well offer conveniences like in-store internet access to__9__these consumers.With caring services combined with acceptable prices, the store might actually improve the likelihood for consumers to close the deal__10__.And a showrooming study indicates that it’s wise for retailers to limit the item price to at most5dollars higher than what online stores charge.After all,for the majority of consumers, getting the absolute lowest price is not their__11__.Many of them,instead,are willing to pay__12__in exchange for favourable shopping experiences,such as the pleasant store atmosphere, agreeable staff attitudes or even the merry music played,with a reasonable price__13__,of course.Besides,adopting a strategy of__14__channels is also essential.With many sale channels under control,retailers are sure to have access to the lowest price possible for an item.Therefore,when a customer pulls out a mobile device in store,retailers can be spared the__15__that wasunavoidable for them some ten years ago.1．A．reviews B．locations C．rehearsals D．similarities 2．A．genuinely B．generously C．particularly

well-known thieves.They make a living by____16____visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a payment in the form of food is paid.That is quite clever.But professor Jean-Baptiste Leca wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still.Sometimes,they do not accept the first____17____and hold out for more.He therefore asked himself whether macaques are able to____18____how valuable an object is to its owner,and factor that into their negotiations.Professor Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras,recording the activities of the monkeys.Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a____19____tourist,they recorded the interaction.Not all attempts at robbery were successful.But of those that were,they analysed the____20____of almost2,200.To work out what was going on,they had first to establish the____21____values of food rewards to monkeys,and of stealable objects to people.The temple staff keep three sorts of reward available for use in negotiations____22____tourists who want to get their property back:raw eggs,biscuits and small bags of fruit.Different monkeys have different____23____,but professor Leca established these for____24____animals by offering them choices between pairs of treats in an initial experiment.To confirm which stealable objects are most_____25_____by people,they divided them into six classes:empty containers,such as phone cases and camera bags;accessories such as key rings;hats and headgear;shoes;spectacles and sunglasses;and electronics and wallets.They then observed,from the video recordings,how often victims_____26_____to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes,and_____27_____classified objects into low value(the first two classes on the list),medium value(the second two)and high value(the third two).They found that monkeys do have a good sense of what they are doing—_____28_____, adults and sub-adults do.These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items,and will often hold out either for more rewards,or for better ones,if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up.Young ones make no such _____29_____,and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.In monkeys,as in people,guile（狡猾）is not a trick that is inborn.It has to be_____30_____. 16．A．warning B．robbing C．reminding D．clearing 17．A．deposit B．dish C．offer D．prey 18．A．assign B．assist C．assure D．assess 19．A．particular B．principal C．peculiar D．progressive 20．A．impacts B．details C．attacks D．motions 21．A．precise B．scientific C．optional D．relative 22．A．in spite of B．in honor of C．with regard to D．on behalf of 23．A．preferences B．potentials C．performances D．predictions 24．A．individual B．independent C．collective D．cooperative 25．A．identified B．valued C．exchanged D．rewarded 26．A．refused B．managed C．bothered D．happened27．A．instead B．otherwise C．thus D．meanwhile 28．A．in practice B．at least C．in all D．at length 29．A．differences B．distinctions C．distributions D．demands 30．A．acquired B．reversed C．managed D．informed Many things happen when people are ageing.Apart from the greying hair and wrinkled skin, there is a(n)___31___change which comes with older age.When humans reach their later years, they favour more long-term___32___and their social cirele is reduced.Now,for what appears to be the first time,scientists have seen the same___33___in another species.Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees(猩猩)reveal that older males choose to keep contact with their___34___friends at the expense of other relationships.The researchers studied78,000hours of observations made between1996and2016that followed the social___35___of21male chimpanzees between the ages of15and58years old. They classified the chimps'___36___depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed(梳毛)them.They then rated(分类)the various pairings as mutual(相互的)friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship;___37___friendships,where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other;and non-friendships,where neither chimp showed___38___the other.When the scientists looked at the___39___of friendships,they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps.Another_____40_____seen in older humans was also spotted in the chimps.As the males got older,their levels of_____41_____gradually become less,meaning they started fewer fights and tended to threaten others in their group less often.The observations have left the researchers_____42_____.According to an idea in psychology known as socio-emotional selectivity theory,older humans prefer more_____43_____relationships because they are aware that time is running out.However many animal experts argue that chimpanzees_____44_____the human sense of mortality(死亡), suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.Robin Dunbar,a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford,said in humans, the_____45_____social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meetpeople combined by lack of opportunity.In

of”or“perhaps”into an email in Microsoft Outlook and the program might well tell you to think again.If the Al-powered“Microsoft Editor”judges that you are not sounding____46____enough,it will soon give you a word of warning：“Words expressing uncertainty will____47____your impact.”To me,this suggestion precisely expresses something we’ve got wrong in society.We live in a world that____48____those who speak with confidence-even when that is misplaced-and gives very little opportunity to perform to those who____49____doubt.“We tend to listen to those experts who tell us a simple,clear and confident story.Why?Because that’s____50____ satisfying,”says Dan Gardner,author of Future Babble,“That’s saying let me sweep away the uncertainty for you’.”Research shows that the human brain is“programmed”to hate____51____：a2016study found that when volunteers were given electric shocks,their stress levels were highest when theyhad no idea whether they were going to be given a shock-higher even than subjects who were told they would____52____get one.We should first know that while confident-sounding experts might be giving us what our brains desire,the____53____they are providing is probably false.Psychologist Philip Tetlock divided up forecasters into“foxes”and“hedgehogs”.Foxes consider all sorts of different approaches sand perspectives,and combine those into distinct conclusions.____54____, hedgehogs tend to view the world through the lens of one single defining idea.That makes the hedgehogs_____55_____forecasters but more likely to get attention.Perhaps we care less about the truth and more about enjoying some sense of_____56_____ however short-lived that might be.But wouldn’t it be better if we held experts to account?Mr. Gardner suggests tagging speakers with some kind of record of previous_____57_____much as we are given performance statistics for racehorses or baseball players.Highly confident statements also_____58_____polarization（两极化）,encouraging others to respond in the same kind of language when they disagree.“There’s a natural tendency to push back with equal amounts of_____59_____says Daniel

Digital Gender GapOne of the most efficient ways to promote peace and jump-start flagging economies is to empower girls and invest in their education.Today,girls’lack of access to basic education is___61___when it comes to the use of digital technology,leaving them far behind boys.And because the world is ever more digital,those who lack basic Internet skills will findit____62____difficult to participate in the formal economy,to obtain a quality education,to___63___health care,information and psychosocial support,and to have their voices heard.Since2013the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from11to12percent.____64____yet,women and girls living in the poorest countries are31percent less____65____than men and boys to have access to the Internet.In developing countries,some200million fewer women than men own a mobile phone,the most common means of Internet access there.This digital____66____is increasing,and should it continue at the present pace,it is predicted that over75percent of women and girls will lack Internet access and ____67____skills.There are many causes for the digital gender gap.They include girls’obvious_____68_____from basic education,from specific technology education and design,high costs of both_____69_____and Internet access,scarcity of content relevant for women and girls,and socio-cultural biases and______70______,such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline.Indeed,one of the most insidious(隐伏的)reasons why girls may be______71______from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one:that girls are simply not good at using technology.The United Nations has announced that human rights online are human rights offline.These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights.According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development,an independent,non-profit and non-governmental research organization,the gender digital gap is amajor_____72_____to women’s economic empowerment and participation in the economy._____73_____a major increase of policy effort and investment,most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men,worsening gender inequality.This also resultsin______74______economic growth and innovation that is possible only when men and women have equal access to technology and the economy.In the words of USAID Senior Gender Coordinator Michelle Bekkering,“A girl’s future should be_____75_____not by her sex,but by her commitment to hard work and ability to access the resources she needs to succeed.”61．A．improved B．eliminated C．worsened D．resulted 62．A．considerately B．increasingly C．only D．technically 63．A．access B．approach C．evaluate D．promote 64．A．However B．Worse C．And D．Strangely 65．A．possible B．probable C．likely D．feasible 66．A．gap B．difference C．data

D．rapid 75．A．defined B．confined C．designed D．outlined Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by.Newspapers,magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently____76____boxing matches.Professional boxers earn a lot of money,and successful boxers are____77____as big heroes.It seems to me that some people,especially men,find it____78____because it is an aggressive sport.When they watch a boxing match,they can____79____the winning boxer,and this gives them the feeling of being a____80____themselves.It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time,but they cannot show their____81____in their everyday lives.Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.However,there is a____82____side to boxing.It can be a very dangerous sport.Although boxers wear gloves during the fights,and amateur boxers____83____have to wear helmets,therehave frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing,sometimes with____84____consequences.Boxers have suffered from head injuries,and occasionally,fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the____85____.Furthermore,studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing,in the form of serious brain____86____,even if a boxer has never been knocked out.I am personally not at all in____87____of aggressive sports like boxing.I think it would be better if less time was____88____to aggressive sports on TV,and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society.I believe that the world is aggressive enough already!Of course,people like____89____sports,and so do I,but I think that____90____other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.76．A．broadcast B．cover C．host D．design 77．A．kept B．individualized C．thought D．treated 78．A．appealing B．subjective C．violent D．challenging 79．A．pick up B．believe in C．identify with D．long for
