Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?

It's all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry.

Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.

Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.

Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.

Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to cul ture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.

34. The writer mainly _________ in this article.

A．tells us how to achieve personal space B．explains why people need personal space C．introduces some knowledge about personal space D．argues for the importance of keeping personal space 35. Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?

A．A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.

B．A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.

C．A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.

D．A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.

36. What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?

A．People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.

B．People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.

C．There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people's needs.

D．Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.

37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.

B．If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated.

C．People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.

D．Different cultures share the same preferences f or personal space.

Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.

Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.

Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects(探测) when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart(购物车). When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.

We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our choice of foodstuff is from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll fi nd well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.

Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is con veniently compact (紧凑的), so busy customers can get in

and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account(账户), a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Amazon Go is now only open to Amazon workers in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon.

Your body is special – no two people in the world are alike, Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same b ody parts as the people around you , doing different jobs that keep all of us alive .

What is inside my head?

Your head houses the most valuable part of your body —your brain. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Your brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.

What is my skin(皮肤) for?

Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter.

When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose.

七、任务型阅读（本题共5小题；每小题2分，计10分）

France has promised a worldwide effort to rebuild Notre-Dame

Cathedral(巴黎圣母院) in Paris, the famous Christian church

damaged（毁坏）by fire. Many people have been sharing pictures of

themselves and their families visiting Notre-Dame. For many people,

the building combines （结合）their personal memories with a

long-established cultural heritage（文化遗产）. Live images of the fire

were broadcast and shared as firefighters struggled to contain the flames（火苗）that destroyed the building’s tall spire（圆顶）and its wooden roof.

The fire happened at a time when some social media companies are testing methods for fig hting back against wrong information. But in the case of YouTube（网站名）, its methods did not help stop wrong information from spreading. YouTube’s algorithm d iscovered the pictures of the burning Cathedral and sent users links(链接) about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Links included Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica entries（入口）about the 911 attack. Observers say the incident demonstrates some of the problems with automatic systems that are meant to correct misleading information.

French President Emmanuel Macron sent a message on Twitter（网站名）expressing sadness at the loss. U.S. President Donald Trump said that he offered sympathy to the head of the Catholic Church Pope Francis and offered U.S. experts to help build it.

Notre-Dame De Paris is among the most famous Catholic churches in the world and is the seat of Catholic leadership of Paris. The Paris public prosecutor is trying to find out the cause of the fire, which is probably linked to extensive renovation（翻修）work. France announced it would invite architects from around the world to propose designs to replace the spire that was destroyed in the fire. Prime Minister Edouard Philippes said a competition would decide whether the Cathedral should have a new design or be rebuilt as it was.

76. What does Notre-Dame De Paris mean for many people?

__________________________________________________________[

77. Please list two links that give entries for 911 attack.

78. Who showed sympathy and promised to offer U.S. experts to help?

79. According to the Paris public, how was the fire probably caused?
