At the table next to mine sat an attractive, 3 couple, waiting for 4 . They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their 5 and stepped together 6 the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped 7 for the two chairs.

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.
Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.
When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.
24．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?
A．He got an older model than he had expected.
B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken.
C．He could have bought it at a lower price.
D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.
25．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?
A．ended all their programs B．provided fewer channels
C．changed to commercials D．showed all-night movies
26．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?
A．By shaking and hitting it. B．By turning it on and off.
C．By switching channels. D．By having it repaired.
27．How does the author sound when telling the story?
A．Curious B．Anxious
C．Cautious D．Humorous

The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed from will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(广告商)，readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor(主编) of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”
Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.
28．What can we learn about the New England Courant?
A．It is mainly about the stock market.
B．It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.
C．It remains a successful newspaper in America.
D．It carries articles by political leaders.
29．What can we infer about the newspaper editors?
A．They often accept readers’ suggestions.
B．They care a lot about each other’s health.
C．They stop doing business with advertisers.
D．They face great difficulties in their business.
30．Which of the following found a new way for its development?
A．The Washington Post.
B．The Guardian.
C．The New York Times.
D．New England Courant.
31．How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?
A．Satisfied.
B．Hopeful.
C．Worried.
D．Surprised.

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 suggest 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.
32．The discovery shows that Westerners _________________.
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
33．What were the people asked to do in the study?
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.
34．In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to__________ .
A．do translation more successfully B．study the mouth more frequently
C．examine the eyes more attentively D．read facial expressions more correctly
35．What can be the best title for the passage?
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

三、七选五
We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why we can’t be more like them. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. Here are some small things that extraordinary people do every day:
●36．That you’re the boss doesn’t mean you are right every time. Learn to back up your decisions with reason. Use logic(逻辑) to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.
●They are generous with compliments（恭维）. Remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return? Not even a thank- you.37．So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employees feel great about themselves.38．●They are helpful. Never hesitate to help someone. It’s fairly simple but it goes a long way. Don’t say something vague（含糊）like, “Can I help you?” because they might just say, “No, I’m good.”39．“I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.” Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial .
●They’re in charge of their emotions. Sometimes it is very important to stay silent. Especially when you’re angry, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time to think about what happened, and then come to a decision about how to deal with it.40．Never be too casual with words or actions.
A．They are sensitive to others.
B．The key is to be specific.
C．A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives.
D．When you feel awkward receiving a compliment, give the person a smile.
E.They are open to criticism.
F.It hurts when your efforts are not recognized.
G.Before you say anything, consider others’ feelings.

细节理解题。根据第三段“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth” 西方人对眼睛和嘴的重视程度是一样的，而东方人对眼睛的重视程度是一样的，而忽视了了嘴。可知西方人对眼睛和嘴巴同样重视。故选A项。
33．
推理判断题。根据第五段“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.”研究人员通过记录13名西高加索和13名东亚人的眼球运动来研究面部表情识别的文化差异，同时观察表情图片，并将其分为：高兴、悲伤、惊讶、恐惧、厌恶、愤怒或中性。他们比较了参与者使用他们特定的眼动策略阅读面部表情的准确程度。由此判断出这些人被要求去分类一些人脸图片。故选C项。

去掉my
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了由于一次偶然的经历，喜欢上了踢足球，逐渐成长为一名优秀球员。
【详解】
1. 考查形容词用法。句意：多亏一个偶然的事件，我对踢足球产生了兴趣。interesting意为“使人感兴趣的”，常修饰物；interested意为“感兴趣的”，常修饰人。主语是I，故将interesting改为interested。
2. 考查定语从句。本句是含有定语从句的复合句，先行词是one afternoon，关系副词在定语从句中作时间状语，所以此处应用表示时间的when。故将where改为when。
3. 考查冠词。名词football为可数名词，前边需要有限定词。这里football第一次出现，故在football前加a。
4. 考查连词。句意：突然一个足球落在我前边并且差点打到我。“足球落下来”与“打到我”两个动作是顺承关系，不是转折关系。故将but改为and。
5. 考查副词。句意为：我挡住足球，并使劲地将它踢回操场。“hard（努力地；费力地）”与“hardly（几乎不；几乎没有）”都为副词，但是词义不同，根据语境，此处要用hard。故将hardly改为hard。
6. 考查固定搭配。“to one’s surprise”意思为“使某人惊讶的是……”，是固定搭配。故将surprising改为surprise。
7. 考查名词的数。“player（运动员）”为可数名词，所以all（所有的）后需要用player的复数形式。故将player改为players。
8. 考查现在分词。句意：操场上所有的足球运动员大声欢呼，说我有足球天赋。句中谓语动词为cheered，say在这里作伴随状语，与主语players是主动关系，故将say改为saying。
9. 考查语境。句意：从那时开始，我放学后跟同学一起踢足球。“from now on（从现在开始）”后边句子应该表示从现在开始所发生的动作或存在的情况，不能用一般过去时。此处表示“从那时起”，是from then on，故将now改为then。
10. 考查固定搭配。“踢足球”的英语表达为“play football”，中间不能加冠词或者代词。故将my去掉。
82．Dear Mike,
It's great to hear from you. You asked me about my daily life and now I will tell you something about it.
Since I graduated from college two years ago, I have found a job of doing paperwork in an advertising company, which takes up all my time. It seems that there are always urgent documents to deal with, which makes me feel stressed. Though I am bored with this lifestyle, I have to put up with it because it is difficult to find a job for a young man now. To tell you the truth, I prefer to be a volunteer rather than suffer the reduction of social activities. Some employees often work until midnight like me.
Can you tell me something about your daily life? I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
