How honest are Asians today?Do people in the region's smaller communities have more integrity than residents of the megacities?What motivates people to do the right thing?
Over a four-month period late last year,we tried to find out with a simple test.We visited 14 cities,towns and communities in nine countries.In each,we"lost"ten ordinary wallets filled with the local equivalent of ￥10 to￥50 in cash,a local address and phone number,classified ads from local newspapers,handwritten shopping lists,everything needed to make the wallets look real.Then we waited to see what would happen.
The results were more revealing than we expected.Overall,out of 140 wallets we dropped across Asia,80 were returned一 57 percent. A similar experiment in Europe resulted in almost identical totals.Out of 200 wallets dropped in Europe,116 were returnedes 一58 percent.In the United States,the return rate was slightly higher:80 out of 120一67 percent.
In the US,only one person declined to take the money in the wallet when it was offered as a reward for being honest.In Europe,more than a quarter refused to take the money.In Asia,a staggering 72 percent of those who returned the wallets一 58 of 80一said no to any reward.
"I cannot accept a reward for having done the right thing,"said a university student in Seoul. Among those who did accept the money,several said they intended to donate it to a charity or religious organization.
Within Asia we found other interesting results.Two-thirds of all our wallets were retrieved by men.But once the wallet was picked up,it made little difference whether the finder was male or fe-male.In our study,58 percent of the women who picked up wallets returned them and so did 56 percent of the men.
Are the people in Asia's giant population centers less honest than in its smaller cities?It seemed so. The lowest combined rate of return一still a respectable 50 percent一was in the three largest cities visited:Seoul,Bombay and Manila. The best rates of return were in the less populous cities一 Singapore;Inchon,Korea;Trivandrum,India;and Kamakura,Japan一with populations ranging from 180,000 to 2.8 million.People in the region's smaller communities have more integrity than residents of the megacities.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：文章最后一段提到了“在亚洲人口密集的大城市里的人们不如那里中小城镇的居民诚实”，这是对第一段提出问题的回应。因此这句话是正确的。
第三段提到“在亚洲，有80个钱包也就是57％被归还”，由此可以看出本句的表述是错误的。
文章第三段的数据告诉我们，亚洲的归还率是57%，欧洲的归还率是58%，而在美国归还率为67%。因此本句的表述是正确的。
第四段讲到在美国仅有一人拒绝接受钱包里的钱作为酬谢，欧洲有1/4 的人拒绝，而亚洲有76％的人拒绝。相比而言，亚洲拒绝的人最多，因此本句的表述是正确的。
文章最后一段讲到在亚洲人口密集城市的居民不如人口较少城市的人诚实，但是并不是说全世界都是这样，因此选择C。
在文章最后一段中我们了解到镰仓和新加坡人口较少，但是我们并不知道两者比较起来谁的居民更多，因此选择C。
文章第六段第二句讲到亚洲测试的结果显示2/3的钱包是男士归还的，因此本句的表述是归还的。 -

第17题：
资料：The increasing amount of personal information that can be collected by computer programs that track how people use Facebook has been revealed by an extensive academic study.
Such programs can show undisclosed private information such as Facebook users' sexuality, drug-use habits and even whether their parents separated when they were young, according to the study by the University of Cambridge academics.
In one of the biggest studies of its kind scientists from the university’s team and a Microsoft-funded research center analyzed data from 58,000 Facebook users to predict traits and other information that were not provided in their profiles.
The algorithms were 88 per cent accurate in predicting male sexual orientation, 95 per cent for race and 80 per cent for religion .And political leanings, personality
types and emotional stability were also predicted with accuracy ranging from 62-75 per cent.
The study highlights growing concerns about social networks and how data trails can be mined for sensitive information even when people attempt to keep information about themselves private ：Less than 5 per cent of users were connected with explicitly gay groups.
Michal Kosinksi ，one of the report’s authors told the Financial Times that the university’s techniques could easily be replicated by companies to inter personal attributes a person did not wish to share such as sexual orientation or political views:”We used very simple and generic methods :Marketing companies and internet companies could spend much more time and resources and hence get much higher accuracy than we did.
The report also revealed some unexpected correlations such as people who liked ‘curly fries’ having higher IQs while those Who like Facebook’s “Sliding on Floors With Your Socks On”page were unlikely to use drugs.
why does the author mention “religion”in paragraph four?A.To show the importance of it in people’s life
B.To support that people can collect information from Facebook
C.To give an example of the information predicted in the study
D.To illustrate the percentage of people with religious belief答案：C解析：本题考查的是细节理解
【关键词】religion；paragraph four
【主题句】第4自然段The algorithms were 88 per cent accurate in predicting male sexual orientation,95 per cent for race and 80 per cent for religion。研究结果为，预测男性性别取向的正确率是，预测种族的正确率是，预测宗教信仰的正确率是。
【解析】题目意为“第四段中作者提到religion（宗教信仰）的目的是什么？”选项A意为“为了显示宗教在人们生活中的重要性”，选项B意为“为了支持人们从脸书上搜集信息的观点”，选项C意为“为了举例说明研究中预测的信息”，选项D意为“为了说明有宗教信仰的人所占的百分比”，根据上下文， -

推理题。根据题干定位至原文的第二段。根据该段的第一句话：“Dad was a creature of habit. He didn’t always greet new experiments in cooking with glee.”可知，“父亲的习惯常年不变，不喜欢尝试新食物。”而后文提到“我刚开始学习烹饪，喜欢邀请父母品尝新手艺，”该段的最后一句话说到：Dad would look at his plate suspiciously and ask, “Am I the ‘guinea pig’ for this meal?”由此可见，当父亲看到盘子中的菜时，怀疑自己是女儿实验用的“小白鼠”，而不愿意吃其中的食物，因此父亲拒绝品尝新手艺。 -
