The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying! III. Reading comprehension (35%)Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Too much eye contact is instinctively(本能地) felt to be rude, and in a business context, it may also be regarded as a deliberate(故意的) intention to make “the other” feel at a disadvantage. So unless you have in mind doing one of those things, its better to_51_too much eye contact. Too little, _52_, can make you appear uneasy, unprepared, and insincere. In its analysis of patients _53_, for example, one large county hospital found, that 9-out-of-10 letters included mention of poor doctor-patient eye contact, a failure which was generally interpreted as “_54_of caring.”“Just the right” amount of eye contactthe amount that produces a feeling of mutual _55_and trustworthinesswill vary with situations, settings, personality types, gender and cultural differences. As a general rule, though, direct eye contact ranging from 30% to 60% of the time during a conversationmore when you are listening, less when you are_56_should make for a comfortable productive atmosphere.And did you know these other facts about eye contact?l We reduce eye contact when we are talking about something shameful or _57_, when we are sad or depressed, and when we are accessing internal thoughts or emotions.l We increase eye contact when dealing with people we like,_58_, or who have power over us. In more intense or private conversations we naturally look at each other more often and hold that gaze for_59_periods of time. In fact, we_60_relationships by the amount of eye contact exchanged: the greater the eye contact, the closer the relationship.l We avoid eye contact in elevators, subways, crowded buses or trains-in elevators we face the door, in the others we stare at our Smartphonesbecause it helps us_61_the insecurity of having our personal space invaded.l The biggest body language myth(错误观念) about liars is that they avoid eye contact. While some liars (most often, children) find it difficult to lie while looking_62_at you, many liars actually try to “prove” that they are not lying by making too much eye contact and holding it too long.Eye contact is so powerful a force because it is connected with humans earliest_63_patterns. Children who could attract and maintain eye contact, and therefore increase_64_, had the best chance of being fed and cared for. Today, newborns instinctively lock eyes with their caregivers, and the power of that infantile eye contact still has its impact on the adult mind. Whether its shifty-eyed guilt or wide-eyed innocence, we _65_assign enormous trust to the signals we give and get when we look into each other in the eyes.51. A. create B. avoid C. block D. occupy52.

(C)Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leaves face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational(职业的) guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all feel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants(受赡养者) with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life. 72. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_.A. certain fierce competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experience C. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance73. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they_.A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable j
