Unit 3 Inventors and inventions一、阅读理解。Angry men appear to gain influence in a group,but angry women lose influence,according to a new study.Researchers from Arizona State University(ASU)published their findings in the journal Law and Human Behavior.Jessica Salerno is a psychologist and was coauthor of the study.The findings suggest that“women might not have the same opportunity for influence when they express anger”. The study found that when men expressed their opinion with anger,participants rated them as more believable.But when women expressed anger,they were viewed as more emotional and,thus,less convincing.In other words,a man could benefit from using anger in power and persuasion.A woman,however,could be ignored or hurt by her group if she expressed anger. The study was based on the responses of 210 students.They were shown evidence and photographs online from a real murder trial.A man was said to have murdered his wife.The students were asked to decide if the man was guilty or not.Before making their decision,the students discussed the case online with five jurors(陪审员).But these were not real jurors:They were puters making responses and ments back to the students.Some of the fake jurors had male identities. Others had female identities. Some male jurors were angry about the judgment.When this happened,the students reacted by doubting their own decisions about the case.Confidence in their responses on the judgment “dropped obviously,”said the study.But,when female jurors seemed angry,the student participants“became obviously more confident in their original judgments,”the study found. The study could have wider importance.“Our results have implications(启示)for any woman who is trying to have influence on a decision in their workplace and everyday lives,”said Salerno.She added that in a political debate,a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger.1.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Powerful Men Must Be Those Who Often Get AngryB.Women,be Careful Not

1.主旨大意题。本文讨论的话题是生气的男人更有影响力,而生气的女人却会减少影响力。由主题段第一段得出。2.词义猜测题。研究发现,当男人用气愤的方式表达意见时,参与者认为他们更可信。rate此处的意思是“认为”,与regard同义。3.细节理解题。试验中,如果女陪审员对学生的判断生气,学生会更坚信自己的判断。由第五段最后一句得出。4.细节理解题。女政治家要想获得更大的影响力,不要生气发火。由第六段She added that in a political debate,a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger得出。二、单句语法填空1Some people say that classical music _(associate) only with old people.答案：is associatedbe associated with . “与有关”。2Though we are living a better life, I cant bear _(see) food thrown away.答案：seeingcant bear doing . “不能忍受做某事”。3What was it that distinguished her _her classmates?答案：fromdistinguish . from . “把与区分/辨别开”。4We must always bear in mind _China is a big country with a huge population.答案：thatbear in mind that . “记住”。5The service offers young people _(practice) advice on finding a job.答案：practical此处应用形容词修饰其后的名词advice。practical “实用的；实际的；实践的”。6We all have an _(expect) that he can pass the driving test next week.答案：expectation由空前的冠词可知应填名词。7In my opinion, only by facing difficulties bravely and _ (seize) opportunities can one succeed.答案：seizing该句为“only状语”位于句首引起倒装的句式。face与seize为and连接的两个并列成分，且均作by的宾语，故由facing可知应填seizing。8It was not until she got home _ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.答案：that该句为含有not until的强调句。由该句型“It is/wasnot until .that其他”可知，应填that。9She _(tap) me on the shoulder but I didnt feel it.答案：tapped由but连接并列成分可知，设空处动词在句中作谓语；且后面并列句的谓语为didnt .，所以空格处也应用一般过去时，应填tapped。10Prices of daily goods _ (buy) through a puter can be lower than store prices.答案：bought过去分词短语在句中作后置定语修饰goods。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I am a social worker.I wanted to tell everyone about my very dear friend who passed away a few months ago.I met
