But her weight brought her even more trouble. Men werent interested in someone so fat, so she was afraid that she would never have a boyfriend or husband. She went to see many doctors. They gave her a list of healthy diets and advised her to lose weight. Of course it was difficult for her to do so. For example, it was her birthday one day. She went to a shop and bought a nice cake.

The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard, such as Japan, focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed, such as the United States, the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotions.“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,” said University of Alberta researcher Dr. Takahiko Masuda. “A persons culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression.”These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emotions (情感符号), which are used to convey a writers emotions over email and text messaging. The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while, American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emotions:)and:) show a happy face, whereas the emotions:( or : ( show a sad face. However, Japanese tend to use the symbol(_) to indicate a happy face, and (;_;) to indicate a sad face.“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a persons eyes when determining emotion, as eyes tend to be quite subtle (微妙的),” said Masuda. “In the United States, where open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a persons face.”21The text mainly tells us that _.Acultural differences are expressed in emotionsBculture is the key to interpreting facial emotionsCdifferent emotions are preferred in different culturesDpeople from different cultures express emotions differently解析:选B主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了文化是理解面部表情的主要因素。根据第一段第一句即文章的主题句可得出答案。22Which emotion is used by Americans to show a happy face?A(;_;)B: )C: (D:(解析:选B细节理解题。根据第三段“In the United States the emotions: )and: ) show a happy face .”可知。23If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false, he will probably _.Aread the whole faceBfocus on the mouthClook into the eyesDjudge by the voice解析:选C推理判断题。根据第一段第二句和最后一段第二句可知日本人主要通过眼神理解面部表情所表达的情感。24People used to believe that _.Asome facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognizedBpeople in the world interpreted basic emotions in different waysCpeople could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotionsDpeople all over the world understood basic emotions in the same way解析:选D细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可推断出答案为D。BMr. Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films. He constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations,which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationalities or culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language,which is universal.One of my favourite shows is that Mr. Bean has a meal in a fancy restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr. Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals(密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see.When he looks at the menu, an astonished look swiftly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer(茶托)He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. He cannot hide his feelings, except when the waiter asks if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, indicating that everything is fine. When the waiter is not looking, however, he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, inside a bun(小圆面包) and under a plate. He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurants violinist!I like to watch Mr. Bean on TV, but I wouldnt like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldnt like to have dinner with him!25From the passage we know Mr. Bean is _.Afamous for directing filmsBfamous for his spoken EnglishCwell known for making filmsDknown for his body language and amusement in his comedies解析:选D细节理解题。从第一段看出,憨豆先生以其喜剧里的身势语和搞笑出名,他不是制片人,也不是导演。26Why is Mr. Bean famous all over the world?AHe often eats in special restaurants.BHe entertains the audience from different countries.CHe only acts on TV.DHe acts on body language and spoken language.解析:选B细节理解题。根据文章第一段可排除C、D两项;根据文章第二、三段可排除A项,故选B项。27What does the underlined word “disgusting” in the third paragraph mean?Atasting deliciousBsmelling goodCfeeling sickDlooking fine解析:选C词义猜测题。根据文章第三段倒数第二句“.he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere.”可看出他点的菜肴是非常糟糕的。feel sick“感到恶心”。28Why did Mr.Bean pretend to smile in front of the waiter?AHe didnt want the waiter embarrassed.BHe was in low spirit.CHe likes to express himself in the opposite way.DHe thought the waiter enjoying smiling.解析:选A推理判断题。当服务员询问时,他设法掩饰自己的感情,由此可推断,他这样做是不想使服务员尴尬。COne cold winter morning, a twomonthold dolphin got caught in a crab trap (捕蟹笼) off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida.No one knew what this baby dolphin would experience and how many lives she would inspire (鼓舞)“Winter,” named for the season when she was saved, was found by a fisherman.The crab line was around her tail so that circulation (血液循环) to it had been cut off.For several weeks, the workers at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) in Florida cared for the dolphin.Over the next two months, Winters tail fell off in pieces.This made swimming extremely challenging for Winter.One day, Kevin Carroll, a vicepresident with Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics, heard Winters story on the radio.He offered to make Winter a prosthetic (假体的) tail for free to help her swim like other dolphins.A prosthetic tail had never been made for a dolphin.This would not be easy.Kevin worked with trainers and doctors for several months to make the perfect tail.It worked.With her new tail, she can swim.She wears her tail for an hour each day.But this amazing story does not end here.People from all over the world come to the CMA to see Winter.Children and adults have taken the“If Winter Can, I Can” attitude.One of them is 11yearold McKenna McGough of Garland, Texas, who has an illness and needs to wear a hearing aid (助听器) to hear.But she didnt like wearing it.After McKenna met Winter, she started putting her hearing aid in every morning without being asked.When her mother mentioned it, she said,“If Winter isnt afraid to show off her prosthetic tail, then I shouldnt be afraid to show off my hearing aids.” When McKenna got her second hearing aid last year, she wanted to show it off.McKenna now proudly wears two hearing aids and takes part in lots of activities.McKenna has returned to see Winter eight times over the past three years.Each time she visits, their friendship grows stronger and McKenna is more confident.语篇解读:本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一只因伤失去尾巴的海豚的经历及它的故事对人们的鼓舞作用。29Winter got her name _.Abecause she was born in winterBbecause she was saved in winterCfrom the fisherman who found herDfrom the aquarium where she stayed解析:选B细节理解题。根据第二段的“Winter, named for the season when she was saved”可知选B项。30The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_”Athe crabBthe crab lineCWinterDWinters tail解析:选D代词指代题。根据第一段第一句话可知,这只两个月大的海豚被捕蟹笼困住了,再根据第二段提到的它最终失去了尾巴可知,第二段第二句话的意思是“它的尾巴被缠得如此紧以至于(血液)无法循环到尾巴上(导致尾巴坏死)”。故it指它的尾巴。31Whats Paragraph 3 mainly about?AHow Winter got her new tail.BHow Winters new tail works.CWinters life with her new tail.DKevin Carrolls new invention.解析:选A段落大意题。根据第一段的“No one knew what this baby dolphin would experience and how many lives she would inspire (鼓舞)”可知,接下来的叙述主要包括两部分,即Winter受伤后的经历和它的故事对人们的鼓舞作用。第三段主要介绍了它在失去尾巴后如何获得一个新的假体尾巴的经历,故A项正确。32What do the last three paragraphs mainly want to tell us?APeople find inspiration from Winter.BThe story of a girl wearing hearing aids.CWinter has become famous all over the world.DThe friendship between McKenna and Winter.解析:选A推理判断题。根据第一段的“No one knew what this baby dolphin would experience and how many lives she would inspire (鼓舞)”及倒数第三段中的“Children and adults have taken the If Winter Can, I Can attitude.One of them .”可知,最后三段通过McKenna和Winter之间的故事旨在说明Winter对人们的鼓舞作用,故A项正确。DWinter depression ( or winter blues ) is a common affliction (折磨) for those who live in our northern climate. Its clinical name is seasonal affective disorder (or SAD) and up to 5% of the population (especially in northern states) may suffer from it. Seasonal affective disorder is characterized by feelings of sadness and depression that occur in the winter months when the temperatures drop and the days grow short. The depression is often associated with excessive eating or sleeping and weight gain. Women are twice to three times more likely to suffer from the winter blues than men.There are many effective treatments for winter depression, some of which you can do to help yourself. Increasing your daily exposure to as much natural light as possible can be helpful to many. Any time when you have the opportunity to gain access to more sunlight in the winter months, you should try to do so. Taking walks throughout the day (even if you dont normally do so), sitting next to a southfacing window at your office, in a classroom, or at home will increase your sunlight exposure. Exercising next to a window or outdoors (when possible) is another activity that can help.Although it may be difficult to do, maintaining your schedule and lifestyle will help to keep the depression at bay. A regular pattern of sleep is the most important thing to maintain. It may be helpful, for instance, to have your bedroom lights on a timer to turn on a halfhour before you wake. This may help in waking at a regular time every morning, when it is still dark outside in the winter months.Light therapy has shown to be an effective treatment for seasonal affective disorder. While you can purchase expensive, specialized light therapy lighting fixtures for your home or office, some inexpensive alternatives are also available. Another lighting technique to try is to replace commonly used light bulbs in your home with brighter full spectrum (also known as broad spectrum) light bulbs. While more expensive than regular light bulbs, these bulbs provide light that is similar to natural sunlight.If none of these techniques seem to help your depressive symptoms, you should consider consulting your family physician or a mental health professional. The winter blues are a form of depression and can be readily treated with medications or psychotherapy when other selfhelp methods arent effective. Dont be afraid to talk about this condition with a professional; its nothing to be ashamed or afraid of.With a little effort, the winter blues can be beaten.33What do we know about winter depression?AIt is very common where the weather is cold.BIt may lead to weight gain.CIt occurs when the temperatures drop.DIt seldom affects men.解析:选B细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句“The depression is often associated with excessive eating or sleeping and weight gain.”可知,冬季抑郁症可能会导致暴饮暴食和过度睡眠,导致人体重的增加。34What is the most important factor in the therapy introduced in the second paragraph?AExposure to natural light.BSports in winter months.COutdoor activities.DSunlight through the window.解析:选A推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Increasing your daily exposure to as much natural light as possible can be helpful to many.”可知,增加每天晒太阳的时间,这样对治疗冬季抑郁症很有帮助,而且这一段都是在说怎样增加光照,所以第二段所说的这种疗法最重要的因素就是自然光照。35For winter depression, light therapy _.Ais much more effective than other kinds of therapyBis so expensive that some may not be able to afford itCencourages people to do outdoor exercisesDneeds specialized bulbs to replace ordinary ones解析:选D细节理解题。根据第四段中“Another lighting technique to try is to replace commonly used light bulbs
