Part 3 Reading and Writing （第三部分 读写） VI. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）（共50分）
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
When taking an elevator, do you often push the “close” button You hope by pushing it,
the elevator door will close faster. But what if the button is actually fake（假的）
Karen Penafiel is the executive director（执行董事）of the US National Elevator Industry. She said that elevators’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US, and that doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you push.
In the 1990s the Americans with Disabilities Act（《美国残疾人法案》）was passed in the US. It means all elevators have to stay open long enough to allow disabled（残疾的）people to enter. Only US firefighters and elevator workers can really use the buttons with special keys. But the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists（心理学家）, fake buttons can make you feel better. They give you a sense of control that can help reduce stress. That’s why some other buttons in our lives are fake, too.
For example, many offices in the US have fake thermostats（温控器）. People may feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.
You were told that traffic light buttons could help make the traffic signals change faster. But they may not really work either.
However, even when people know these little “white lies”, they still push fake buttons. As long as the doors finally close, it seems worthy.
John Kounios is a psychology professor at Drexel University in the US. He told The New York Times that he always pushes the traffic light buttons. “After all, I’ve got nothing else to do while waiting. So why not push the button on the off chance that this one will work” 69. If you push the “close” button in the US, the elevator door will ________.
A. close immediately C. play a trick on you
B. not be completely open D. not close as fast as you wish
70. In the US, in order for disabled people to go in safely, ________.
A. elevator workers will press the “open” button for them B. they will be given a special key to use in the elevators C. all elevators are designed to open long enough D. no “close” button is fixed on the elevators
71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as fake
A. Thermostat buttons.
B. Elevator buttons. D. Power buttons.
C. Traffic light buttons.
72. There are quite a few fake buttons in our lives because they can ________.
A. control people’s senses C. control the temperature
B. help people feel better D. tell “white lies”
73. The underlined words “on the off chance” in the last paragraph most probably mean “______”.
A. with the little hope
B. without any plan
D. without any possibility
C. with a great opportunity
74. The best title for the passage is ________.
A. Button pushing society
B. Useless buttons D. Fake elevator buttons

B. Choose the best words and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词完成短文）（12分）
