第三部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now.

I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.

The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的）pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.

All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

56.We can learn from the beginning of the passage that _______

A. the author lost his sight because of a car crash.

B. the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen.

C. the disaster made the author appreciate what he had.

D. the disaster strengthened the author's desire to see.

A. How to adjust himself to reality.

B. Building up assurance that he can find his place in life.

C. Learning to manage his life alone.

D. How to invent a successful variation of baseball.

58. According to the context, ―a chair rocker on the front porch‖ in paragraph 3 means that the author

_______

A. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life.

B. would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair.

C. would lose his will to struggle against difficulties.

D. would sit in a chair and stay at home.

59．What is the best title for the passage?

A. A Miserable Life

B. Struggle Against Difficulties

C. A Disaster Makes a Strong Person

D. An Unforgettable Experience

B

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the ―Elevator Guy‖.

―The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),‖ Gray told the BBC. ―They [elevators] are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.‖We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box.

If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.

When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

―You don’t have enough space,‖ Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. ―Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.‖

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. ―The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,‖ she said.

60.The main purpose of the article is to _____.

A. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator

B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette

C. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride

D. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator

61. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an

elevator?

6 62. The underlined phrase ―size up‖ in Paragraph

7 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. judge

B. ignore

C. put up with

D. make the best of

6 63. According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.

A. someone’s odd behaviors

B. the lack of space

C. their unfamiliarity with one another

D. their eye contact with one another

C

She’s not afraid of anything. Snakes? No problem. Walking alone in the dark? Easy. We’re not talking about a superhero here -- SM is a 44-year-old mother. And she’s fearless because sh e happens to be missing part of her brain: the amygdala(扁桃腺).

Shaped like a pair of almonds sitting in the middle of your brain, the amygdala helps control fear and anxiety. A rare condition called Urbach-Wiethe disease left SM without her amygdala, and seems to have completely erased her sense of fear.

To try to understand how the amygdala works, a team of researchers made their efforts to scare SM.

They showed her horror movies and took her to the Waverly Hills Sanatorium Haunted House in Kentucky.

She pushed out one of the monsters(巨物) and laughed. SM said she didn’t like snakes, but at a pet store full of poisonous creatures, she kept asking to touch them. When asked to rate her feelings, SM reported feeling surprised or disgusted, but never fearful.

―She tends to approach everything she should be avoiding,‖ says Justin Feinstein of the University of Iowa. This means the amygdala could control deeper urges to approach or avoid danger. Other scientists have a different opinion, though. ―I don’t believe you can make a general statement about what the amygdala does by a single case study,‖ Elizabeth Phelps said. In 2002, Phelps published a study on a similar patient with amygdala damage who still showed fear.

It may sound like fun to be totally fea rless, but we get scared for a good reason. ―The nature of fear is survival and the amygdala helps us stay alive by avoiding situations, people, or objects that put our life in danger,‖ Feinstein said. SM was once followed in a park after dark by a man wit h a knife, and she simply walked away. ―It is quite remarkable that she is still alive,‖ said Feinstein.

64. Researchers tried their best to frighten SM in order to find ___________.

A. The function of a particular organ

B. SM’s reaction of fear and anxiety

C. The process of removing amygdala

D. A special way to get along with monsters

65. What do we know from the research on SM?

A. It was easy for her to avoid danger.

B. SM never felt fearful but disgusted.

C. SM was frightened by nothing except monsters.

D. SM got along well with the snakes.

66. What is Elizabeth Phelps’ attitude toward the function of the amygdala based on the research on SM?

A. Indifferent

B. Supportive

C. Disapproving

D. Interested

67. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. People can remove their amygdala to be fearless.

B. SM will be admired because of her bravery.

C. No one can survive if their amygdala is removed.

D. The sense of fear is crucial to humans.

D.

Pretending to be happy can actually make you more miserable —especially if you’re a woman, according to a new study.

The research found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy. Psychologist Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can backfire. He said, ―Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional exhaustion, and that’s bad for the organization.‖

Dr. Scott said the research showed customer-ser vice workers who ―fake smile‖ throughout the day worsen their mood and then withdraw from work, so their productivity drops. He added, ―Bosses may think that getting their staff to smile is good for the organization, but that’s not necessarily the case.‖ D r. Scott, assistant professor of management at Michigan State University, analyzed a group of bus drivers during a two- week period.

The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional displays over a period of time and compare the different effect that has on men and women. His team examined the effects of surface acting —or fake smiling —compared to what was termed ―deep acting‖, or cultivating(培养) positive emotions by recalling pleasant memories.

Dr. Scott said, ―Women are harmed more by s urface acting, meaning their mood worsens even more than the men and they withdraw more from work. However, they are helped more by deep acting, which means their mood improves more.‖

Although ―deep acting‖ seems to improve mood in the short-term, Dr. Sco tt said it’s not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy.

He said, ―You’re trying to cultivate positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself anymore.‖

68. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Surface acting is good for organizations.

B. Men benefit more from deep acting than women.

C. Fake smiling causes more harm to women than men.

D. Recalling good memories is a long-term solution to feeling down.

69. The findings of the research might serve as a warning to _______.

A. employees

B. employers

C. researchers

D. customers.

70. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Solution to feeling unhappy

B. How to cultivate positive emotions

C. How to improve workers’ productivity

D. Fake smiling makes you miserable

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

71 Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie. A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.

Dr. Robert G. Newby, a professor of sociology, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women. ―Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,‖ he says. ―Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good. 72 .‖

Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone’s eyes like men.

Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently. ―73 . They plan better,‖ Callender notes. ―They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end.‖ Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. 74 .

Dr. Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.

― 75 .Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything saids needs to be true.‖ he sa ys.

A. Be truthful at any cost.

B. Men also lie to each other.

C. Everyone lies from time to time.

D. Women are much more careful in their lies.

E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.

F. He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn’t h ave to.

G. Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women.

I hardly remember my grandmother. She used to holding me on her knees and sing old songs. I was only four when she passes away. She is just a distant memory for me now.

I remember my grandfather very much. He was tall, with broad shoulder and a beard that turned from black toward gray over the years. He had a deep voice, which set himself apart from others in our small town, he was strong and powerful. In a fact, he even scared my classmates away during they came over to play or do homework with me. However, he was the gentlest man I have never known.
