Question

  In my early 30s,I used an expired(过期的) student ID to buy discounted movie tickets. I'd tell myself,I'm buying a ticket I wouldn’ t have otherwise bought. I think many people have done similar things; however,we still think of ourselves as honest citizens. Researchers who study these behaviours believe that character isn 51the real reason. We might break the rules under some conditions and in some mind-sets,but not in others.

   Years ago,Francesca Gino,a professor at Harvard,and Dan Ariely,a behavioural economist at Duke,wondered if people with higher IQs were more likely to cheat. They found that cleverness wasn't closely connected to dishonesty,but creativity was. The more creative you are,the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when you behaved dishonestly.

   Harvard University psychologist Joshua Greene argues in his book Moral Tribes that we may be bom without having a clear sense of right and wrong,but our culture sharpens it. If your tribe downloads pirated(盗版的) music,you’ re likely to go with the flow.

   Harvard researcher Leslie John,along with two colleagues conducted an experiment. They told volunteers that others in the room were making more money than they were for getting questions right on a test. Guess what happened? That group,which considered itself disadvantaged,cheated more than those who believed that everyone received an equal payment.

   The real threat is that rule breaking worsens over time. Behavioural psychology offers a few antidotes. Keep yourself fed and well-rested — we’ re likelier to behave badly when hungry or tired. Reflect on how your actions look through others’ eyes and see yourselves in a positive light. In a Stanford study,when researchers used the verb cheat — please don't cheat — participants still cheated freely because they felt distanced from the act. When the noun was used — don't be a cheater — hardly anyone did.

32. According to Francesca Gino,who are likeliest to break the rules in a company?

   A. Accountants. B. Designers.

   C. Cleaners. D. Typists.

33. Why did volunteers in Leslie John's experiment cheat more than others?

   A. Because they were not as smart as others.

   B. Because they thought others cheated too.

   C. Because they felt a sense of unfairness.

   D. Because they were tired and hungry.

34. The underlined word “antidotes” in the last paragraph can be replaced by.

   A. explanations   B. solutions

   C. studies   D. novels

35. What's the best title for the text?

   A. Why people break the rules

   B. How people break the rules

本文是议论文。文章讨论了人们为什么要违规并就此问题给出了一些建议。

32. B.推理判断题。根据第；段中的... but creativity was. The more creative you are, the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when+.you behave+d dish+onestly 可知，越是宥创造 力的乂越有可能违规，因此&计师比起会计、清 洁工和打字员更有可能违规。

33. C。推理判断题。根据第四段中的They told Volunteers that others in the room were making rtiore money than they were for getting questions right on a test可知，参加实验的恙愿##知其他 人比他们得到的钱多，感到不公平，因此要通过 作弊的方式答对更多的题，得到更多的钱。

34. B.词义辕痴I齒。最启一S中的Keep yourself fed and well-rested ... Reflect on how your.actions look through others’ eyes and see yourselves in a positive light 就是作者对于违规 问题给出的方法”。故选B项。

35. A.标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章就违规问 题展开讨论，其中第二、三、四段分别介绍了人 们违规的三个原因。A项概括了文章的主要内 容，故最适合作本文标题。
