解析:

本篇文章描述人们到南极探险的故事,五个英国人顺利到达南极,当他们返回时却遇到恶劣天气,使他们处境艰难。

36. D。英国人以为他们是最早到达南极的人,没想到在这场比赛中他们输给了挪威人。beat sb 指“击败某人”。

37. C。因为南极地区被冰雪覆盖,在上面插上国旗很不容易,且南极风很大,所以用plant较合适。plant 除表示“种植”外,还可表示“牢牢安置”“牢固地固定在一个位置上”。

38. D。根据常理,肯定是在插好国旗之后返回之前拍照留念,故用before。

39. D。根据下文可知,因为暴风雪的原因,归程很艰难,并且他们所做的回程标志也不见了,因此返程速度很慢。

40. C。因为一直下着暴风雪,所以太阳难得一见。

41. C。指暴风雪使他们无法找到回程标志——他们在去时竖立的石头。set up 指“设立”“竖立”“架起”。

42. D。to make things worse是固定短语,其意为“更糟糕的是”。

43. C。think of…as…是习语,其意为“认为……是……”“把……看作……”。

44. B。Evans 掉进了一个冰洞,他肯定要想办法挣扎着要出来,故用struggle 最合适。

45. A。be left指“剩下的”。一共五个人,已经死了一个,故剩下四人。

46. A。manage指设法做成某事。其他三项的意思是:try 试图,设法;employ雇佣;find找到,发现。

47. B。因为当时下着暴风雪,并且下文又说 Oates 的脚在晚上肿胀得很大,由此可知,他的脚当时是冰伤了。

48. A。此处的意思是,Oates的脚肿得很厉害,以至于几乎不能穿靴子。

49. A。Oates的脚肿得很厉害,以至于几乎不能穿靴子,这说明他当时in great pain。

50. D。此处说的是,Oates若因脚伤走不快,就会影响到其他三个人的自救。the others指这四个人中除Oates外的其他三个人,其中的the表特指。

51. D。on在此表示“继续向前”的意思。又如:They moved on to the next city. 他继续赶往一个城市。

52. B。指他们晚上搭起帐篷过夜。注意,不能选sleeping-bag,因为其前的动词是 put up。

53. A。指当其他三人还在睡袋中睡觉的时候,Oates打了个招呼就一个人出去了。while 表示“当……的时候”。

54. D。指要离开一会儿。

55. C。他一个人独自(alone)出去,希望不拖累其他同伴。

Exhausted and unhappy, you still have to squeeze a smile to your friends, or teachers. That’s just life, you may think. But new research suggests that putting on a fake smile can worsen people’s mood and even lower work efficiency.

Lead researcher Brent Scott with other researchers studied a group of bus drivers for two weeks. They tried to find out what happened when the drivers were involved in “surface acting” or fake smiling, and the opposite, “deep acting” which means people put on real smiles by recalling pleasant memories or thinking about their current situation more positively.

The results showed that on days when drivers were forced to smile, they felt depressed and didn’t want to work. On days when they smiled due to positive thoughts, their mood improved a lot as well as their work efficiency.

The research goes against the popular belief among companies that employees should be cheerful to customers at all times. They include employees of shops, banks, call center workers and others who have face-to-face contact with members of the public. “Smiling for the sake of(为了) smiling can lead to emotional exhaustion and coldness, and that’s bad for the organization,” Scott told the Daily Mail.

The study also showed that women were harmed more by fake smiling than men. Their mood and work performance both worsened more. But they were helped more by deep acting — their mood became better and they worked more efficiently.

However, while deep acting seemed to improve mood in the short term, Scott says it’s not a long-term solution for unhappiness.

“There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period that you start to feel inauthentic(不真实的),” Scott said. “You may be trying to cultivate positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself anymore.”

1.Brent Scott and others’ experiments on bus drivers suggest that ______.

A. depression among bus drivers is common

B. thinking in a positive way helps with work efficiency

C. bus drivers with pleasant memories tend to be less efficient

D. the bus drivers’ work efficiency is determined by their mood

2.According to the article, which of the following statements about “fake smiling” is TRUE?

A. It is good for the business but bad for the employees.

B. It doesn’t work on people who are emotionally expressive.

C. It is a widely accepted cultural practice in the US.

D. It causes more harm to women than men.

3.We can conclude from the article that the researchers think that ______.

A. people should be true to their feelings

B. smiling helps to put people in a good mood and become more efficient

C. it is unnecessary to cultivate positive emotions

D. deep acting can improve mood in the long run

4.The article is mainly about ______.

A. the importance of smiling during face-to-face contact

B. a new study on fake smiling and its influence on people

C. suggestions on improving work efficiency

D. how to cheer up when you are exhausted
