As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in crosscultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry，or neutral. They conspared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions，” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise，when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures，Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.【语篇解读】文章主要讲述东西方人的表情文化区别。4The discovery shows that Westerners _Apay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthBconsider facial expressions universally reliableCobserve the eyes and the mouth in different waysDhave more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段信息“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure，whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect(忽略)the mouth.”可知西方人注意眼睛和嘴巴的程度是一样的，而东方人重视眼睛而忽略嘴巴的表情。【答案】A5What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?AThe participants in the study.BThe researchers of the study.CThe errors made during the study.DThe data collected from the study.【解析】词义猜测题。根据“they”in Paragraph 6的信息“The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is.”其中“that they show”修饰“eye movements”可知是指参与者表现出的眼睛活动的表情。【答案】A6In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _Ado translation more successfullyBstudy the mouth more frequentlyCexamine the eyes more attentivelyDread facial expressions more correctly【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段信息“.rather than scanning evenly(均匀的)across a face as Westerners do，Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.”结合第三段内容可知：相比于西方人，东方人更注重眼睛。【答案】C7What can be the best title for the passage?AThe Eye as the Window to the SoulBCultural Differences in Reading EmotionsCEffective Methods to Develop Social SkillsDHow to Increase Crosscultural Understanding【解析】主旨大意题。文章主要讲述东西方人的表情文化区别，B项概括全文，而且言简意赅。【答案】BC(2016汕头金山中学月考) It is of great importance for students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a poemmore so than for most pieces of prose (散文). This isnt always easy in a second language, and so listening to their teacher read the poem, or to a professional recording, perhaps by the poet or by an actor, is, I feel, necessary.As with any listening activity, students will need some kind of preparation and task so that they can be actively engaged. They might be asked to check predictions that arose from a warmup discussion, to compare their suggested rhyming couplets with the poets, or to identify stressed words and syllables.You might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussions about poems. This can, for example, take the form of a couple of teachers or a group of students giving their views on a poem, or even an interview with the poet.Im a big fan of jigsaw listening because of the natural information gap. If your school has the facilities, you might like to：divide your students into two, or even three groupsgive each group a different cassette or CD and tasks to work onthen they come back together to share what they have learned.Remember that your own enthusiasm is a key factor in any activity relating to literature in the classroom.Finally, dont forget to encourage art for arts sake.Listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else, for that matter), is to be fostered at every opportunity, because of the obvious benefits which include motivation, vocabulary acquisition and learner independence. Many good song lyrics (歌词) could be termed poetry and treated accordingly in the classroom, copyright rules permitting.【语篇解读】通过学习诗歌可以培养学生很多技能，但是对于学习第二语言的学生来说，理解诗歌是不容易的，文章给老师提供一些建议，如何让学生更好地理解诗歌，培养技能。8Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAn English student will have difficulty understanding Li Bais poems.BAn English student will have some difficulty understanding Walt Whitman.CA Chinese student will have some difficulty understanding Du Fus works.DAn American student will have some difficulty understanding William Shakespeare.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的句子“It is of great importance for students to be able to get a feel for the rhythm and sounds of a poemmore so than for most pieces of prose(散文)This isnt always easy in a second language.”可知一个英国的学生可能理解李白的诗有困难。故选A。【答案】A9What kind of preparations should the students do in the listening activity?aTheyd better predict what the poem is about.bTheyd better have a warmup discussion.cThey will share their own works with their classmates.dThey should know the stressed words.eThey should make clear the stressed syllables.fThey should first go to an actor.AabcfBabdeCcdefDbcdf【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知在听力活动中，学生需要准备：预测诗歌是关于什么的；有个热身的讨论；知道重读的单词；明白重读的音节。故选B。【答案】B10Who do you think is this passage written for?AThe students.BThe poets.CThe teachers.DThe readers.【解析】写作意图题。根据文章第三段的句子“You might also want to get your students to listen to recorded or live discussions about poems.”可知文章是写给老师的。故选C。【答案】C11Whats the main idea of the passage?AHow to use poems to develop the students skills.BListening to poem is more difficult than reading prose.CThe schools should encourage the students to study poems.DPreparations should be done before teaching.【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章的内容和最后一段的句子“Listening for pleasure, to poetry (or to anything else，for that matter)，is to be fostered at every opportunity，because of the obvious benefits which include motivation，vocabulary acquisition and learner independence.”可知文章介绍如何使用诗歌培养学生的能力。故选A。【答案】ADIn English there are some expressions that use vegetables and fruits. For example, you might say a person is as cool as a cucumber if he never seems to worry about anything and stays calm in a stressful situation.If two people are very similar, you might say they are like two peas in a pod.There are several expressions about beans. If someone is very energetic, you might say he is full of beans. If you say something does not amount to a hill of beans, you mean it is of little importance. If you spill the beans, you tell something that was supposed to be a secret.Potatoes are a popular food in many areas. But something is considered a small potato if it is not important. You probably would not want to hold a hot potato in your bare hands. This also means a problem or an issue that no one wants to deal with. Someone might call you a couch potato if you sit and watch television all day and get little or no physical exercise.Students often have to take a difficult test to gain entrance to a special school. So you could say the ones who are chosen are the best ones, or the cream of the crop.There is an old saying that forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. That means some people get pleasure from doing something that they are not supposed to do.Finally，let us talk about lemons. Lemons have a sour taste if you eat them plain. But lemons make a nice drink when you mix their juice with sugar and water. So here is an expression about lemons that we like：If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. This means you should always try to make the best of a bad situation.【语篇解读】本文介绍了与水果和蔬菜名称有关的一些英语习惯表达法。12Which of the following is used to express a person who always keeps calm in a stressful situation?AA pea.BA potato.CA cucumber.DA lemon.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句话可知答案。【答案】C13According to the passage, small potatoes mean _Athings that dont amount to a hill of beansBthe potatoes that are small in sizeCsome important thingsDpriceless things【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段的“But something is considered a small potato if it is not important.”可知，small potatoes指的是不重要的事情；再由第三段的“If you say something does not amount to a hill of beans，you mean it is of little importance.”可知，该表达法的意思与small potatoes的含义相近。故选A。【答案】A14If someone enjoys themselves by doing something they are not supposed to do, we can say that _Athey are full of beansBthey are like two peas in a podCforbidden fruit tastes the sweetestDthey probably dont want to hold a hot potato in their bare hands【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段可知，C项表达法的意思是指人们通过做不应该做的事情而获得快乐。【答案】C15The underlined word “lemonade” in the last paragraph means _Aa bad situationBa kind of drink that is made from lemons, sugar and waterCa kind of fruit similar to a lemonDa skill that people use to make the best of a bad situation【解析】词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“But lemons make a nice drink when you mix their juice with sugar and water.”可知，当你将柠檬汁和糖、水混合在一起，柠檬就做成了可口的饮料。故选B。【答案】B.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 【导学号：73450037】(2016大同一中高二下月考)The jobs of the future have not yet been invented._16_ By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.CuriosityYour children need to be deeply curious._17_ Ask kids，“What ingredients (配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？” and then try them out.
