2.People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions--and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
    Rachael Jack,University of Glasgow researcher,said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do.Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,"Jack said."Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure,whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth."
    According to Jack and her colleagues,the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed.As a result,facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural 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 compared 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 did Westerners,"The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,"Jack said."Our data suggests 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.

51.The discovery shows that WesternersA.
A.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B.consider facial expressions universally reliable
C.observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D.have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
52.What were the people asked to do in the study?C
A.To make a face at each other.
B.To get their faces impressive.
C.To classify some face pictures.
D.To observe the researchers'faces.
53.What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph 6 refer to?A
A.The participants in the study.
B.The researchers of the study.
C.The errors made during the study.
D.The data collected from the study.
54.In comparison with Westerners,Easterners are likely toC
A.do translation more successfully
B.study the mouth more frequently
C.examine the eyes more attentively
D.read facial expressions more correctly
55.What can be the best title for the passage?B
A.The Eye as the Window to the Soul
B.Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
C.Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
D.How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding.
4.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief,I,at fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品).As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
 
41.What can be inferred about the author as a child?D
A.He never watched TV.
B.He read what he had to.
C.He found reading unbelievable.
D.He considered reading part of his life.
42.The underlined word"voice"in the second paragraph most probably means"C".
A.an idea                   
B.a sound quality
C.a way of writing            
D.a world to write about
43.What effect does reading have on the author?B
A.It helps him to realize his dream.
B.It opens up a wider world for him.
C.It makes his college life more interesting.
D.It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
44.Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A
A.Why do I read?
B.How do I read?
C.What do I read?
D.When do I read?
1.Did you know that the first documented use of OMG(oh my god)was in 1917,or that LOL was once a common term meaning little old ladies in 1960?That's what the world learned when OMG,LOL,and FYI (for your information) were added to the Oxford English Dictionary last week.This dictionary is considered by many to be the reference book that defines the English language.
Words added to the Oxford English Dictionary are truly considered new members of the language.People invent new words all the time,but only a few become popular enough to get defined in dictionaries.
Typed online or in text messages,LOL,FYI,and OMG are initialisms,which can be said aloud letter by letter,like LOL,which now stands for Laugh Out Loud.Faster to type than the full phrases,initialisms like these have been used online since the 1990s.But these three online terms are now spoken outside the Internet too,making them different from other online lingo( 行话).Dictionary editors decided the words are used so commonly that they had to be defined this year.
Another important addition to the dictionary this year was?,as in"I?NY."This is the first graphic (图形的 ) symbol ever defined in the Oxford English Dictionary.The editors added?as a verb under the definition of"heart",meaning"to love".
Some slang words-informal language used more commonly in speech than in writing-were also added,like wassup,a shortened way to say"What's up".Even words that have been in use for many years like biker and happy camper were finally added to the dictionary.
The Oxford English Dictionary now defines more than 600,000words.That adds up to more than 21,730pages!Guinness World Records calls it the longest dictionary in the world.The Oxford English Dictionary is known for recording words of all kinds-popular,outdated,and even foreign words used by English speakers throughout the language's long history.

21.The text mainly tells us thatA.
A.expressions like LOL and FYI have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary
B.English words change their meaning as time goes by
C.English language is becoming more and more difficult to learn
D.the Oxford English Dictionary breaks the Guinness World Record
22.Which of the following is NOT included in the facts that the Oxford English Dictionary has been updated?D
A.Some online terms are added to it.
B.A graphic symbol is first introduced into it.
C.Some slang words are collected in it.
D.Some old words are left out.

2.Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin(企鹅)at the California Academy of Sciences.Due to his old age,he was losing his feathers,which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool.Therefore,biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.
Unlike marine(海生的)mammals,which have a layer of blubber(鲸脂)to keep them warm,penguins depend on their waterproof feathers.Without them,Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19peers played in the water.
"He was cold;he would shake,"said Pam Schaller,a  senior biologist.Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm.Then she got another idea:if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific,why not make one for Pierre?
Schaller designed the suit,which covered Pierre's body and had small openings for his flippers (鳍).
"I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps,and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable."she said.
One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit,but in fact,they accepted his new look.He swam freely and got along with others well,although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.
Schaller couldn't say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers,but"certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable".
Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.
24.Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because ofA.
A.having few feathers due to old age    
B.not having a layer of blubber
C.having no wetsuit                  
D.others penguins rejecting him
25.The idea of making a wetsuit for Pierre came fromB.
A.total invention            
B.the use of wetsuit on humans
C.the use of heat lamp        
D.waterproof feathers
26.Schaller followed Pierre in order to seeD.
A.whether other penguins would reject him
B.whether the wetsuit would keep the feathers from recovering
C.if the wetsuit kept warm
D.if anywhere of the wetsuit needed to be cut and refit
27.The best title of the passage isC.
A.Unwilling to Swim             
B.Old Penguin Getting Bald(秃的)
C.Wetsuit for An old Penguin       
D.Strange Look of Pierre.
