This is not because childrens eyes are too sharp to allow any blot（污点, 瑕疵）to pass without being 41 , but because adults have too many conflicting concerns to keep their eyes open to all wrongdoing.Not long before, an examination, intended to 42 some police officers to higher positions, was held in Gansu province. Someone 43 with a good idea that 18 primary pupils could be invited to act as invigilators (监考人). At that age, students would do as they are told and act fearlessly. 44 , they caught 25 officers cheating on the spot, which has caused a stir (轰动,搅动) and 45 the question of whether adult invigilators would 46 their duties as well.The implication of this event goes 47 its impact on the work style of local police officers and the examinations. Most people said what these children have done points to the sad fact of 48 being less trustworthy. If adults acted as invigilators, they would quite 49 turn a blind eye to cheating. We Chinese have been holding the 50 that human nature was good at birth: as 51 of blot as a sheet of blank paper, which can be 52 with content (good or bad) in the process of growing up.

Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what youre selling.Researchers from Britains University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.The research team used puter software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isnt as trustworthy es from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted.The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didnt change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.Chris Olivola, one of the studys authors, said in the University of Warwicks press release: “It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”61. Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?A. What kind of face do you trust?B. Who did the experiments?C. Why do you trust him or her?D. Why did they do the experiments?62. According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?A. A sad face.B. A smiling face.C. A crying face.D. An angry face.63. Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?A. The trustworthy faces were given good information.B. Researchers took photos of the 40 peoples faces in college.C. Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.D. Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.64. What did the researchers learn from their experiment?A. People cant refuse temptations.B. People always do things with their instincts.C. People often judge strangers by their faces.D. People dont trust strangers with sad faces.B The only survivor of one of the two Sandy Hook Elementary School first-grade classrooms where Adam Lanza shot and killed 20 children tricked the gunman by playing dead, the girls pastor (牧师) said. “She ran out of the school building covered from head to toe with blood and the first thing she said to her mom was, “Mommy, Im OK but all my friends are dead” Pastor Jim Solomon told ABC News Lara Spencer this weekend. “Somehow, at that moment, by Gods grace, she was able to act as she was already dead.” he said. The girl, a 6-year-old whose name is not being announced for privacy (隐私) reasons, was the first student to appear from the lockdown (封锁) at Sandy Hook, Solomon said. He said the young girl described the shooter to her mom in a way that only a young child can. “Well, she saw someone who she felt was angry and someone she felt was very mad,” Solomon said. “I think its impossible without the help of God. She has wisdom beyond her years, for sure. Of the 20 children killed on Friday, eight were boys and l2 were girls. Six staff members, all female, were also killed. The gunman, whose mother was also killed by him before he went to the schoo1 classrooms, was found dead at the present spot. “The mom told me and I thought this was very insightful (有深刻见解的) that she was suffering from what she felt was survivors guilt because so many of her friends no longer have their children but she has hers,” Solomon said how the girls mother and father are handling the trauma (伤害)“I dont know whether I would have the type of faith that they have if the same thing happened to me.”65. How did the girl manage to avoid being shot?A. She pretended to be dead. B. She hid herself under the desk.C. She rushed out of the school building in time.D. She persuaded the shooter into not shooting her.66. Which of the following best describes the girl?A. Talented and innocent. B. Serious and insightful.C. Active and happy. D. Clever and brave.67. The killing case which happened in Sandy Hook Elementary School .A. ended up with the shooter being killedB. was a shooting by a group of peopleC. was due to the gunman getting angry with the pupilsD. was not open to the public for the moment68. Which of the following is TRUE about the girls mom?A. She was disappointed with the pastor.B. She felt very dissatisfied with other parents.C. She felt terribly sorry for those who had lost their children.D. She strongly plained the police.C Fans of US television dramas watch their favorite series for different reasons: some want to improve their English skills, others just want to kill time.Some TV series are more than pure entertainment they have a certain depth. Mad Men, which returned with a sixth season recently; Monday Mornings, which just finished its first season; and Modern Family, which sweeps the awards every year, are just a few examples.Why do these shows stand out among so many similar ones? TV critics Raymond Zhou will give you an idea of why some shows are better than others.Period drama More than time travel Period dramas are intended to capture the ambience (气氛) of a particular era. Directors must therefore attract audiences as much by their recreation of a historical setting as by an interesting storyline.Mad Men is an excellent example of this balance being struck. Set in New York during the 1960s, it accurately shows US attitudes in the workplace through the alcoholism and chain-smoking mon of the time, and places an absorbing plot right in its center. But rather than merely presenting a past decade, Mad Mens subtle (微妙的) description of the struggles of white-collar workers at the time, both male and female, makes it stand out. “The series attention to detail is superb,” Raymond Zhou said. “For example, creator Matthew Weiner makes Don Draper the leading role of the series drive a Buick instead of a Cadillac, because Weiner thinks the man lacks the self-pride to buy a luxury car. Its this kind of attentiveness that raises the shows artistic value.”Critics also remend Another period drama that works is Broadwalk Empire, set during the prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Heather Havrilesky at Salon magazine noted how the show “revels in the oddities (怪事) of its time, peeling back the layers of polite society to reveal a shadow world of criminals and politicians working together to keep the liquor flowing.” Why does it appeal to viewers? Because they know that the “liquor” is a metaphor (暗喻) for todays political scandals (丑闻).69. How many US TV series are mentioned in this passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.70. The following statements are the reasons why many people are attracted by US television dramas EXCEPT that _.A. US television dramas merely present a past decadeB. directors recreate a historical setting and adopt interesting storylines C. the dramas can improve their English skills, and help people kill timeD. some TV series are more than pure entertainment, and they have a certain depth71. According to Raymond Zhou, Don Drapers driving a Buick instead of a Cadillac shows _.A. Mad Men attaches much importance to detailsB. Mad Men places an absorbing plot right in its centerC. the director wants to raise the shows artistic valueD. Mad Mens description of the struggling white-collar workers makes it stand out72. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Directors of US dramas.B. US dramas and their storylines.C. US period dramas to kill time.D. US dramas and their magic touch. DMy day started just like all the other days for the past 15 years where I get up, make some coffee, shower, get dressed and leave for the train station at exactly 7:35 A.M. to arrive at work by 8:30. While on the train I would always choose a seat away from the crowd so I can read the newspaper in peace and quiet. At work I am always being flooded with questions from coworkers, suppliers, telephone and then those dread meetings, so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and make small talk.I dont know why but for some reason when I got on the train today it was unusually full, something I dont recall ever happening in the past. With hesitation I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man that had his head down and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. I was glad that he didnt notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor. Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown I found myself wondering what this man was thinking about. What could be so important that he didnt even see me sit next to him? I tried to forget about it and started to read my paper. However, for some strange reason this “inner voice” kept urging me to talk to this man. I tried to ignore the “voice” as there was n
