阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。
Advertisements are designed to persuade us, but which techniques are effective in talking us in to buy things
____16____ Normalization can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement—where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films. Beth, an assistant professor of marketing and advertisement, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious. ____17____ It seems that a subtle (不易察觉的) approach can be more persuasive.
Appealing to our emotions is another strategy advertisers use. ____18____ Jannet, a senior lecturer in communication studies, explains that for fear to be an effective tool, we need to believe: when fears are raised, people tend to take action to make a difference, like buying something. But when fears are exaggerated (夸大) or we feel helpless, we are likely to switch off.
Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we will desire to be like them and buy the products they support. ____19____ The research that she mentions shows these ads can make people feel bad and put them off products. These studies say that seeing a more human side of people can lead us to believe them. ____20____
So, it seems that the best technique advertisers can use to persuade people is to fully understand the people they are selling to.
A. Some of them use fear to persuade us.
B. One way is simply to describe something as normal.
C. Superstars are gradually losing their commercial value.
D. We become defensive if we know that someone is trying to sell us something.
E. However, a researcher in marketing points out this may not be the best strategy.
F. A common technique to make an emotional impact is to create a memorable slogan.
G. And endorsements (代言) from characters who admit their mistakes can be more believable.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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选项。
We’re lucky to live in an age when the sum total of human knowledge is pretty available at the click of a button. We’ ve never had access to so much information. ____13____. So here are a few strategies to sharpen your critical thinking.
Watch out for confirmation prejudice(偏见). ____14____. In repeated experiments, psychologists have shown we’re much more likely to accept something as evidence if it confirms what we already think we know. And we’re much more likely to ignore information if it is not in line with our views, which will affect our ability to process information.
Acknowledge small differences. In life, most situations are varying and complicated. Admitting that can enrich the way that we view the world. For example, what colour is the sky Well, the obvious answer is blue. But at sunrise or sunset, it can be red. On a cold misty morning, white or gray. ____15____.
Practise intellectual humility (谦逊). One approach to, well, arguing, is to let go of the idea of being “right”. Or at least seriously consider that you might actually be wrong. ____16____. Really try to understand where the other person is coming from. Arguing is just to waste somebody’s time.
____17____. It’s more important than ever to know where your information is coming from. That science-looking paragraphs might look very convincing until you dig a little deeper and find it was just posted by someone having no qualifications. That is the case we should not overlook.
Engaging in critical thinking isn’t as fun as picking up a pitchfork, or feeling like you’re fundamentally right. But in the long run, it leads to a more curious, educated and harmonious society, which is the biggest win of all.
A. Avoid mistakes
B. Check your sources
C. We all enjoy feeling like we’re right
D. But not all of what’s out there is quite what it seems
E. So pay attention to differences in many situations
F. So don’t rush to decide, and be actively prepared to change your mind
G. Putting yourself into the other person’s shoes can have more fruitful outcomes

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most athletes and parents would agree that sportsmanship is an important aspect of athletics. Although it comes in many forms, everyone can list what sportsmanship looks like. We shake hands before and after games. ____16____ These examples are just displaying good sportsmanship.
It is easy for parents and kids to get caught up in a game and become too focused on winning. Although winning is important, it is not always the most important aspect of the game. ____17____ Good sportsmanship is one of those life lessons that should be intentionally learned, taught and practiced.
No matter how much we would like to, we cannot win at everything every time. ____18____ After a hard-fought game, the loser felt frustrated in a losing effort. It can be very difficult to look your opponents in the eye and tell them “good job”. But this is what is asked of athletes. How do we handle losing with dignity
____19____ Almost nobody is willing to come second in a game, but only one can be champion. There is no need to be overcome with defeat. Instead, accept failure and face up to it bravely, believing failure is the mother of success. Recognize the winners and congratulate them.
Winning is fun! It is the reward for your hard work. When we participate in a sport that keeps score, it is our responsibility to the team to do our best to win within the rules of the game and within the spirit of the game. ____20____
A. Keep losing in perspective.
B. So we need to learn to deal with defeat.
C. Besides, winning doesn’t mean you are perfect.
D We clap for injured players once they are on their feet.
E. There is so much to be gained from an athletic experience.
F. We must ensure they have a fun and safe sports experience.
G. But winning becomes a negative when it is a team’s only goal.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years，psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. 31 . Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits.
Space out your studying
Nate Kornell，a psychologist at Williams College，thinks it's a good idea to study the day before a big test. 32 . Instead，space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it's still full，and you can't add much more water. Allow time between study sessions，and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you'll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session.
Practice，practice，practice!
Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. 33 . "If you want to be able to remember information，the best thing you can do is practice，" says Katherine Rawson. She's a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study，students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better，on average，than students who studied the way they normally had.
Test yourself
Nebel's preferred study habit is one of the best way. Before big tests，Nebel's mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，”she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. “ 34 ，” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions，”she adds.
Dig deeper
It's hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don't push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about？Why do they matter？Psychologists call this elaboration. It's taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another，she says. 35 .
A．The same should go for learning
B．Some tips help for almost every subject
C．Of course，nothing can replace studying with your mother
D．Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really useful
E．That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember things
F．Create a pack of flash cards every time you learn new information
G．But research shows it's a bad idea to force all your studying into that day
