第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
（A）
Culture is a huge factor in determining whether we look someone in the eye or the kisser to interpret facial expressions, according to a new study.
For instance,
in Japan,
people tend to look to the eyes for emotional indications, while Americans tend
to look to the mouth, says researcher Masaki Yuki, a behavioral scientist at
As a child
growing up in
“Their smiles looked strange to me,” Yuki told LiveScience. “They opened their mouths too widely, and raised the corners of their mouths in an exaggerated（夸张的）way.”
Japanese people tend to shy away from direct displays of emotion, and rarely smile or frown with their mouths, Yuki explained, because in Japan high value is placed on conformity（从众随俗）, humbleness and emotional suppression, qualities that are thought to promote better relationships.
So when Yuki entered graduate school and began communicating with American scholars over e-mail, he was often confused by their use of emoticons such as smiley faces :) and sad faces, or :(.
“It took some
time before I finally understood that they were faces,”
he wrote in an e-mail. In
56. ______ tend to control their ______ so that they do not show their feelings.
A. Americans; eyes B. Americans; mouths
C. Japanese; eyes D. Japanese; mouths
57. The Japanese look to the eyes rather than the mouths to read faces because _____.
A. they think that a more polite way B. their mouths give little readable signs
C. the eyes are better controlled D. their mouths often give false information
58. The fact that the Japanese rarely smile or frown with their mouths results from ______.
A. the influence of American celebrities B. the Japanese physical condition
C. the Japanese political system D. the Japanese culture
59. Yuki got confused about the American emotional face symbols because they ______.
A. differ exaggeratedly in the mouths B. show no difference in the eyes
C. have no lines to suggest round faces D. are too simple to express emotions
60. The best title of the article may be ______.
A. Eyes Reveal More of Emotion than Mouths
B. Which Say More, American Mouths or Japanese Eyes?
C. Americans and Japanese Read Faces Differently
D. Is It Possible to Smile with the Eyes?
（B）
For 16-year-old Li Miaomiao, sore feet from
wearing high heels for hours at a time and an achy jaw from constant smiling
are worth the chance of presenting a medal to hang around an athlete's neck during
the Beijing O
The willow-thin high school student is one of 34 Chinese girls
“training” to be an O
When not balancing books on her head to improve posture（体态）during medal presentation rehearsal（预演）sessions, Li and her class-mates study English, receive cultural training and look at pictures of past medal presenters and their uniforms.
Most important for Li, though, is the smile.
“I practice at home, and smile to the mirror for an hour every day,” Li said, beaming radiantly in a red waistcoat and high heels on the sidelines of a class. “I want to present my smile to the world, and let them know that the Chinese smile is the warmest.”
Apart from common-sense communication tips, such as looking directly at someone while talking to them, students are also informed the perfect smile consists of “only showing the eight top teeth”.
For Li Miaomiao, the perfect smile comes
naturally – after having practiced for hours in the mirror. It no doubt helped
Li become one of only seven girls chosen from dozens of applicants to present
medals to winning boxers at an O
Being 16, Li is technically ineligible to become an O
61. The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. what Li is being trained for B. what health problems Li is faced with
C. what Li is qualified for D. what lifestyle Li prefers to lead
62. From the article we know that BFAS ______.
A. is likely to be a high school for girls only
B.
has been founded to train O
C. trains girls in photographing skills
D.
temporarily offers training to the O
63. During the medal presentation rehearsals, Li and her classmates _______.
A. have books placed on their heads
B. learn English both in the oral and written form
C.
study the history of the O
D. try to learn from the former medal presenters
64. Li’s smile is particularly mentioned because _______.
A. her smile is different from the “perfect smile”
B. she doesn’t seem to agree with the “perfect smile” standard
C. she can present the “perfect smile” naturally after hard practice
D. her smile is up to the “perfect smile” standard by nature
65. The underlined word “ineligible” in the last paragraph possibly means ______.
A. unwilling B. unfit C. anxious D. qualified
（C）
Your name
made you do it, though unconsciously, suggests new research that finds your
name can negatively make you achieve less. Ps
Students whose names begin with C or D get lower grades than those whose names begin with A or B; major league baseball players whose first or last names began with K (the strikeout-signifying letter) are significantly more likely to strike out（因三击不中而出局）.
Assistant professors Leif Nelson of UCSD and Joseph Simmons of Yale have conducted five studies over five years using information from thousands of individuals.
“The conscious process is baseball players want to get a hit and students want to get A's,” Nelson says. “So if you get a change in performance consistent with the name-letter effect, it clearly shows there must be some unconscious desire operating in the other direction.”
The
researchers' work supports a series of studies published since
The twist, Pelham says, is that he has believed the name-letter effect would apply only to positive outcomes. Nelson and Simmons, he says, are “showing it applies more so to negative things than positive things.”
The researchers say the effect is definitely more than coincidence but is small nevertheless. “I know plenty of Chrises and Davids who have done very well in school,” Simmons says.
66. The new research is mainly about the relationship between one’s ______.
A. name and unconsciousness B. name and characteristics
C. name and success D. sports and school achievements
67. One whose name begins with C may try to ______ without knowing it.
A. get an A grade B. get a C grade
C. strike out D. overcome the name-letter effect
68. Who may serve as an example to show the “name-letter effect”?
A. Miss Smith working as a lawyer. B. Charles Brown married to Sue Rogers.
C.
Mr Watt living in
69. Which can be used to explain the underlined word “twist” in the last but one paragraph?
A. Difference. B. Conclusion. C. Funny side. D. Shared part.
70. The last paragraph mainly tells us that the “name-letter effect” ______.
A. isn’t believed in by many people B. doesn’t work with certain names
C. may not really exist D. is often too small to show
（D）
In today’s society, a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn. For instance, the IT world is constantly changing. Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years. The point is to learn to learn.
Blogging（写博客）works exactly the same way. And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal. If you’re trying to make money, this is abundantly clear. There’s always more money to be made. If you’re teaching on a subject, you are constantly looking for new information to share. Even if you’re just sharing your words with others for pleasure, you’re continuously improving your writing and storytelling so people don’t get bored of you.
This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out. They forget this. They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting to burst from their brain. They get comfortable. Then they start to run out of juice. Sure, at times it seems that some bloggers just have it. They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever. But this is not true. Pay attention. Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning.
The point is apparent. Don’t think you’ve succeeded. There are plateaus, but there are no peaks. What happens when someone thinks they’ve hit the peak? They quickly begin sliding down the other side. Always be learning from your experiences. See what posts work for your readers. Which get the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic, or get the most Absence clicks? Don’t settle or your blog will close for good eventually.
71. Judging from the article, if you have got a college degree, say, in engineering, it means ______.
A. you’re good at engineering B. you’ve finished learning engineering
C. you’ve chosen to learn engineering D. you can find work relating to engineering
72. The writer thinks Blogging works in a way that it requires the writers to ______.
A. be constant learners B. have academic degrees
C. keep on writing D. know everything before starting
73. Which is NOT a possible purpose of people’s blogging?
A. To increase their income. B. To help others to learn.
C. To entertain the readers. D. To keep private records.
74. The writer uses the word “it” in the underlined sentence “Sure, at times … have it” to refers to ______.
A. the failure in keeping on writing B. the knowledge needed for blogging forever
C. the ability of constant learning D. the comfort enjoyed from blogging
75. The questions in the last paragraph are asked to advise bloggers on how to ______.
A. learn from their experiences B. learn from others
C. update their knowledge D. reach blogging peaks

第四部分 书面表达（共二节，满分45分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5 小题；每小题 3分, 满分15分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）
What I Hate
I always listen to my friends’ problems and try to give them good advice, but there are some things that just get under my skin.
My number-one annoyance is my friends who don’t get along with their parents. Left and right I hear “I hate my mom,” “I hate my dad,” “My parents are so stupid,” “They don’t care about me.” I think they don’t know what they’re saying!
What kids need to understand is that regardless of whether you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or even a best friend, your parents care about you the most. If that’s hard to believe, think about this: How did you get a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, food to eat, and most of all, a place to call home?
If that’s not enough, let’s continue. Look in your bedroom. Where did you get all that stuff? Your bed, the clothes in the closet, the blankets that keep you warm, or all the nonessentials. I bet most of it came from your parents.
I’m sick of hearing how your parents do “nothing” for you. They probably do more than you do for yourself. Consider that next time you start criticizing your parents, who also gave you life.
So many times I have heard friends complain about their dads. “He is so over-protective – he never lets me do anything.” I simply think, at least __________. Think about kids who don’t. My father died in an accident three years ago. I’d always been “daddy’s girl,” which makes things even harder to manage.
So, please stop before you say “I hate,” especially if it’s about a parent, and think about those of us who aren’t lucky enough to have two caring parents.
76. What’s the main idea of the article? (Please answer within 30 words.)
77. Fill in the blank in the last but one paragraph with proper words.
(Please answer within 10 words.)
78. Why does the writer name her article “What I Hate”? (Please answer within 30 words.)
79. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
No one else, whoever they are, looks after you so well as your parents, which children should be made to realize.

76. What’s the main idea of the article? (Please answer within 30 words.)
Our parents are people who care about us most though some of us may not realize that. We should love them dearly instead of hating them. （26词）
77. Fill in the blank in the last but one paragraph with proper words.
(Please answer within 10 words.)
you have a dad
78. Why does the writer name her article “What I Hate”? (Please answer within 30 words.)
On one hand, the title refers to the fact that some children often say “I hate my mom (or dad)”; on the other, it suggests that’s just what the writer hates.
Because the article involves different opinions on the “What I hate” issue: some kids hate their parents while the writer just hates those children thinking like that.
Because the writer wants to stress that it is the children themselves who say they hate their parents that are hateful, not their parents.
79. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
No one else, whoever they are, looks after you so well as your parents, which children should be made to realize.
What kids need to understand is that regardless of whether you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or even a best friend, your parents care about you the most.
80. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
因此，恳请你在张口说“我恨”之前——尤其当恨的对象是父母的时候，打住话头去想想我们中间那些没有双亲照料的不幸同伴。
