解答 36-40 ADBDA  41-45 CBADC  46-50 BADCB   51-55 DBACB
36.A  考查动词辨析.根据句意可知,"家人们挤满了演出大厅,大厅里充满了兴奋的情绪",表示"充满、挤满"用filled.故选A.
37.D  考查名词辨析.pressure压力; impression 印象; debate 争论;根据上文语境可知,我成为大家关注的中心.attention关注,其它选项不符语境,故选D.
38.B  考查动词短语.showoff显示,炫耀; take over 接管; look after 照看;give up 放弃;最终,在几周的准备之后,我将通过舞蹈表演来展示我辛勤劳动的成果.从语境的连贯判断,B项符合语境,故选B.
39.D. 考查形容词辨析.根据后面的描述可知,作者的这次表演失败了,所以本句句意应为"一切都应该是完美的---我是这样认为的."reasonable表示"合乎情理的";suitable表示"合适的,适宜的";obvious表示"明显的";perfect表示"完美的".D相符合逻辑,故选D.
40.A  考查动词短语.下文说节目主持人用嘹亮而清晰的声音宣布接下来就是我们班级的表演,由此判断,"我"在后台穿好了表演的服装.表示"盛装打扮"用dressup;fold up 折叠;cover up 盖住;mixup混淆;均不符合语境,故选A.
41.C 考查动词辨析.根据句意可知,"典礼的主持人清晰地大声宣布下面表演的是我们班."表示"宣布"用announced.故选C.
42.B 考查名词辨析.根据语境可知,演出自然少不了观众,演员们要面对观众表演,所以本句句意应为"我们的舞蹈班成员在一个两英尺见方的箱子上做固定的动作,面向观众."故选B.
43.A 考查形容词辨析.由语境"我保持微笑…"可知作者此时非常自得.本句句意应为"我的动作真的非常简单".所以C项符合句意.故选C.
44.D 考查动词辨析. 作者在本句中描述了出现失误前我的表演,本句句意应为"我脸上带着微笑,高昂着头,注意力如此集中以至于我没有看到我的脚伸向了哪里."表示"保持某种状态"用keep,所以D项正确.contain表示"包含";hide表示"躲藏";share表示"分享";keep表示"保持,保存";均不符合语境,故选D.
45.C 考查疑问副词. 这里用where 引导状语从句表示地点:我只顾着笑对观众,却没有注意自己的脚下.
46.B 考查动词辨析.由下文I slipped during a performance可知,"我没踩上同伴的箱子,滑倒了."所以使用slip.故选B.
47.A 考查名词辨析.我没有注意到同伴们的动作,结果表演出错,引来观众的一片嘲笑,此时我感到一股热血往脸上用来,也就是说,此时我的脸都觉得发烫,脸红了.从这些分析判断,A项符合语境,故选A.
48.D 考查动词辨析.根据语境可知,如果出错,但保持微笑可以使观众注意不到你的错误.leave离开;cheer欢呼;believe相信,均不符合题意.故选D.
49.C 考查名词辨析.由下文as Icontinued with the routine可知,我努力按老师说的做.follow one'sadvice,按某人说的做.故选C.
50.B 考查名词辨析.根据作者的描述可知,作者本来是想要表现一下的,结果却出现了失误,所以自己的希望落空了,因此本句句意应为"当幕布落下,我的希望也落空了."所以A项符合语境,故选B.
51.D 考查动词辨析.由后文的tasting thesalt from the tears可知,作者哭了起来,故选D.
52.B 考查动词辨析.由上文I sobbed bitterly可知,在当时的情境下,自然没有人能一下子使她情绪稳定下来,所以应该用calm down表示"使…平静".turn down 拒绝; let down 失望; put down放下;均不符合语境,故选B.
53.A 考查名词辨析.从最后一段I finished the routine with a smile on my face可知,我依然按要求完成舞蹈动作,并没有因失误而半途而废.事情过去这么多年后,作者能够回过头来重新审视自己,所以本句句意应为"近来我认识到那天晚上我就是一个明星."所以A项符合语境,故选A.
54.C 考查过去分词辨析.根据第二段第七句中的"and I felt theblood rush to my face"可以看出虽然我有失误,但"我"依然按要求完成了舞蹈表演,并没有因失误半途而废.虽败犹荣.故选C.
55.B 考查副词辨析.此处表示我没有走掉而是坚持到演完,所以本句句意应为"相反地,我脸上带着微笑完成了动作."instead:替代关系,进一步说明之意,however:仅表示转折关系,故选B.

16.Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough.In Southeast Asian culture,a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感),but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly.

27.What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?C
A.Love.B.Politeness.C.Joy.D.Thankfulness.
28.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile canB.
A.show friendliness to strangers
B.be used to hide true feelings
C.be used in the wrong places
D.show personal habits
29.What should we do before attempting to"read"people?A
A.Understand their cultural backgrounds.
B.Learn about their relations with others.
C.Find out about their past experience.
D.Figure out what they will do next.
30.What would be the best title for the test?C
A.Cultural Differences
B.Smiles and Relationship
C.Facial Expressiveness
D.Habits and Emotions.
2.In the late 1950s,a Russian geneticist called Dmitry K.Belyaev attempted to create a tame (驯化的) fox population.Through the work of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk,in Russia,he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals.His test subjects were silver-black foxes,a melanistic (带黑色的) version of the red fox that had been bred in farms for the color of their fur.
He selected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened.About 10% of the foxes displayed a weak"wild-response",meaning they were docile around humans.Those that hid in the comer or made aggressive voices were left in the farm.Of those friendly foxes,100females and 30males were chosen as the first generations of parents.
When the young foxes were born,the researchers hand-fed them.They also attempted to touch or pet the foxes when they were two to two-and-a-half months old,for strictly measured periods at a time.If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response,even after significant human contact,they were thrown away from the population---meaning they were made into fur coats.In each selection,less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next generation.
By the fourth generation,the scientists started to see dramatic changes.The young foxes were beginning to behave more like dogs.They wagged their tails and"eagerly"sought contact with humans.By 2005-2006,almost all the foxes were playful,friendly and behaving like domestic dogs.The foxes could"read"human hints and respond correctly to gestures or glances.

28.What do we know about Belyaev's breeding plan?B
A.It explains how red foxes were bred.
B.It focuses on how tame animals evolved.
C.It explains why pet foxes became popular.
D.It concentrates on why tame animals disappeared.
29.How did he choose his test foxes in the experiment?C
A.By appearance.
B.By color.
C.By reaction.
D.By flexibility.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?C
A.Smart foxes were used for testing.
B.The purpose of selection was unclear.
C.Friendly foxes were kept on testing.
D.The selection was not exact and thorough.
31.What is the distinguishing characteristic of the fourth generation foxes?A
A.Behaving in a friendlier way.
B.Eating plants.
C.Having drooping ears.
D.Having shortened legs.

(38)EEvery day,when she comes back home from work,she sets about doing housework,sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture,and putting everything in good order.She seems to be busy all the time.As she has been very busy working every day,she looks older than her age.But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever.Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself,but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us.(39)DShe just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself.She lives a busy yet simple life,without any complaints.
