The answer may not be a definite “yes”, but a study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, found that you would at least have a clue, since people with certain names tend to share similar facial appearances. For example, if someone is named Bob, hes likely to have a round and joyful face, while someone named Tim tends to have a narrower face and a more serious look. People have long been associating names with certain cultural expectations, which may be responsible for the studys results. For example, a woman named Katherine is usually considered to be more reliable than a girl named Bonnie. Previous studies also found that people with traditionally African-American names such as DeShawn and Jamal are more likely to be seen as dangerous and violent by their teachers and are less likely to be hired in jobs. These stereotypes（固定模式）have bee so widespread that theyve even affected how people look at themselves. In fact, people tend to subconsciously（下意识地）change their own personalities to fit into these stereotypesKatherines may try hard to be trustworthy and Bonnies may care less about the mistakes they make. “We develop the personality that other people expect us to exhibit,” said lead researcher Youat Zwebner, according to The Telegraph. In other words, its not that names change people, but people try to live up to their names. And our faces may even change over time, based on these stereotypes. “Usually, we think that faces are very fixed but now we show that theyre not,” the studys co-author Ruth Mayo told UKs iNews. According to Mayo, the use of different facial expressions can allow people to develop different looks. “If you smile a lot, you have different wrinkles around your eyes and your mouth from if you frown a lot,” she said. 24. Why did the author use the names Bob and Tim as an example? A. To prove the influence of names on our emotions. B. To present the cultural expectations of certain names. C. To show the correct method of guessing someones name. D. To explain the possible connections between names and looks. 25. Which of the following are considered cultural stereotypes by the author? a. A boy name Tim tends to be cautious. b. A boy named Jamal tends to be violent. c. A boy named DeShawn appears dangerous. d. A girl named Bonnie is likely to be seen as joyful. e. A girl named Katherine is usually considered trustworthy. A. abe B. ade C. bcd D. bce26. Which of the following would Yonat Zwebner probably agree with? A. Peoples faces bee fixed as they grow into adults. B. The way people are expected changes their personalities. C. People could change their personalities by using different names. D. People should focus on sound and meaning when choosing names. 27. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Appearance may affect jobs. B. Name can change people. C. Name may make looks. D. Appearance can carry culture.CNeed for closure is a psychological term that describes a persons desire for a firm answer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation were in. Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when were rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our disfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit were wrong and even how creative we are.In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. Its called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower peoples need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that theyll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.In making any big decision, its not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldnt be rushed. The problem is that we dont keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure youre under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, its even more important to think twice.28. How does need for closure probably e into being? A. By acquiring. B. By accident. C. By nature. D. By imitating.29. It can be inferred that a high need for closure_. A. brings about more stress B. causes disfort and uncertainty C. leads to not so good decisions D. promotes ones creativity30. In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants need for closure by telling them to_. A. be cautious about their judgmentsB. value their first impression C. be responsible for their bossD. pay little attention to the consequences31. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. More helpful solutions to high need for closure.B.Some serious consequences of making decisions.C.Other approaches to making important decisions.D. Another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life.DI was about 5 when I first heard the word “Greenland”, and my interest grew from there. Finally, after decades, I decided to go.When I finally arrived, the place, at first glance, was clearly misnamed: The east coast of Greenland was an expanse (宽阔的区域) of ice and snow, with no sign of human habitation.One of my purposes of going to Greenland was to make contact with some native Greenlanders. I didnt know I would achieve this, but success came in an unexpected way.When I arrived at the Illunnguujuk Hostel, where I had reserved a bed, a young couple and their baby were out front, enjoying the sun and unusual warmth. Greenlanders speak their own Inuit language and learn Danish in school, and many also speak English well. The young woman, however, was not one of these. Her English turned out to be anticlimactic.When I identified myself, her eyes widened. Another traveler had arrived earlier and, mistaking him for me, they had given him my bed. There was no more space in the hostel. “But dont worry,” she said, as she threw herself into cleaning a tiny house the family owned. “This is for you,” she said. And as if that werent enough, she invited me to eat supper with her family. That evening I sat down to a dinner of fresh fish with a loving, happy native family. When I first set foot in Greenland I found myself all but shocked by the emptiness, the vastness, and the silence. I had decided that I would probably never return. And then I was taken into this Greenlandic home. I can now say that even cold, empty, and silent scenery is worth visiting, so long as one has a warm and weling place to go to.32. What did the author intend to do in Greenland?A. Make some native contact.B. Live with a native family.C. Get a part-time job.D. Do business with the natives.33. What does the underlined word “anticlimactic” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Simple.B. Modem.C. Outstanding.D. Disappointing.34. The author lost his bed in the hostel because of .A. the language barrierB. the high priceC. a wrong addressD. a misunderstanding 35. What made the authors visiting Greenland worthwhile?A. Tasting the local food.B. Helping a local family.C. Meeting friendly people.D. Enjoying the great scenery.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Have you ever felt a sudden feeling of joy because you heard a favorite song playing? Then you know that music can have a strong effect on your emotions. 36 It can help get you out of a bad mood or stay in a good one, says Alicia Ann Clair, professor at the University of Kansas. 37 To cheer up, listen to Latin music or anything with a strong beat or a fast speed. 38 When you want to relax after a busy day, music with a slower speed can calm you down. Listen to calming music before you start any stressful activities, advises Dr. Clair. “Once you re in a good state of mind, it s easier to keep it.” You can lower stress at work with music, too, by playing relaxing tunes. 39 “If you listen to them all day long, youll stop noticing them,” Dr. Clair explains. Then the music wont have any effect. 40 “To feel energetic, start with something relaxing, and then gradually increase the speed and beat,” says Dr. Clair. For example, first play some nice slow love songs, and then listen to something more energetic. When you want to calm down after a busy week at work, just do the opposite.A. Try to take advantage of this power of music.B. But only play them when you really need them.C. Music can also help you relax and feel active.D. Loud and fast music can fill you with energy.E. There are different kinds of music around the world.F. Put on your favorite song, but only if it is one that can lift your spirits.G. You can change your mood by changing from one kind of music to another.第三部分 英语知识应用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。This morning there was a young man wandering in the campus.
