People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week late.”And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rathe r concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I d on’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.24.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was often misunderstood.B.

When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations is recorded and stored.Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a user’s location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.Google says it collects the data to improve users’ localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permissionto use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a “timeline” that shows the person’s daily movements.Google also has a “Location History” setting. The company says any user can turn off Locatio n History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a user’s account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called “Web and App Activity”. It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a user’s Google account.28. Why does the author mention Weather apps?A. To show many apps can track a user’s location.B. To stress Google services are widely used.C. To prove Google collects users’ data illegally.D. To advise people to stop using them.29. What is the voice from the privacy activists?A. Users should use the Internet less.B. Google should stop tracking users.C. Google should turn off location services.D. Google should respect users’ privacy.30. What does the author indicate in paragraph 4?A. The Location History setting is difficult to find.B. What Google announces is hardly consistent with the fact.C. Turning off Location History can avoid being tracked.D. The AP asks Google to remove Location History.31. Which can best summarize the passage?A. Google still tracks you with Location History off.B. Google services urgently need to get improved.C. Using Google puts you into a dangerous state.D. Web and App Activity has endangered people’s life.DWhen people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediators are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt an hostile (敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one.Why would adding more negativity to an already hostile situation prove beneficial? Consider how parents typically react when they can’t get their children to stop quarreling: “I don’t care who started it —both of you, go to your rooms!” At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows parents, seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect. Children who were troubling each other just now suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents. In our research, we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict. In some cases, the mediator had a “nice” approach —calm and polite. In others, he was hostile —aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off. In fact, recent research has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces people’s performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior. People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.32. What can we learn about parents’ settlement of conflicts in paragraph 2?A. It’s calming and wise.B. It harms family relationship.C. It’s commonly adopted.D. It’s unfriendly but effective.33. How does the author support his viewpoints?A. By presenting facts.B. By making comparison.C. By giving examples and experimenting.D. By analyzing causes and effects.34. Which best describes the author’s attitude in the text?A. ConcernedB. DoubtfulC. PositiveD. Objective35. What could be the title of the text?A. The Surprising Power of HostilityB. The Costs of Negative BehaviorC. The Benefits of Positive BehaviorD. The Importance of Effective Mediation 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，选项中有两项为多余。
