As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used reliably to convey emotions in crosscultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry. 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 Westerners did. “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 while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotions, Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less.”In short, the data shows that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotions. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotions. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.1. The discovery shows that Westerners _.A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB. consider facial expressions universally reliableC. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions2. What were the 26 participants 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.3. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The participants in the study.B. The researchers of the study.C. The errors made in the study.D. The data collected from the study.4. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _.A. do translation more successfullyB. study the mouth frequentlyC. examine the eyes more attentivelyD. read facial expressions more correctly【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A 4. C【解析】【1题详解】细节题，根据第三段的Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure,判断选A。【2题详解】推理题，根据第四段的The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry可知在研究中让参加研究的人将那些脸部表情分类，故选C。【3题详解】推理题。根据短文前文提到的此处they应是代指前面的参加实验研究的easters和westers，故选A。【4题详解】推断题。根据文章倒数第二段的Our data suggest that while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less可知东方人更关注眼睛。故选C。BThe British live on a small island. They are surrounded by the sea, so it is not surprising that the sea has always played an important role in their lives. After the development of large, oceangoing sailing ships in the fifteenth century, the sea became even more important to the countrys development. Ships setting sail from England determined to extend Britains territories, its wealth and its knowledge of the world. Ships returned to England bringing goods, people and new ideas from foreign places. By the nineteenth century, Britain had the largest, most powerful navy in the world.The great sailing ships were so much a part of British life that they even affected the language. Many English expressions we use today were originally nautical (航海的) terms, although most people no longer realize this. For example, people commonly describe an honest and fair business deal as being “above board”. This expression was originally used in sailing ship times when secretive, dishonest ships business would be carried out below decks (below the boards) out of public view. On the other hand, honest business was always conducted on deck (above the boards), in the open where everyone could see what was going on.“Pipe down!”, meaning “Be quiet!”, is another common expression that has nautical origins. The ships boatswain (水手长) would blow a whistle, or pipe, at the end of the day to indicate (表明) to the sailors it was time to quieten down and go to sleep.Most native English speakers have heard the expression “not enough room to swing a cat”, but few know that the “cat” does not refer to a small furry animal with four legs and a tail. The “cat” is actually a short form of “cat of nine tails” a whip with nine, knotted (打结的) tails. A boatswain needed a lot of space in order to swing the whip properly when lashing (鞭打) a poor sailor under his control!5. The British have been strongly influenced by the sea because _.A. they occupied more land around the worldB. they got more wealth from the seaC. they live on an island surrounded by the seaD. they had the largest navy ever6. If someone is open and above board, it means he is _.A. secretive B. honestC. cheerful D. dishonest7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sailors need to go to sleep when they hear a whistle.B. Sailors will be whipped if they do business below decks.C. A poor sailor may be whipped nine times a day.D. There is no spare room to raise cats on ships.8. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The business on British sailing ships.B. The influence of British sailors language on English.C. The sailing history of England.D. The sailing story of British sailors.【答案】5. C 6. B 7. A 8. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。英国作为一个岛国，四周环海，海洋在英国人的生活中起着重要的作用。英国曾有着强大的海军。一直以来，水手们经常使用的一些航海术语丰富并影响着英语这门语言。【5题详解】细节理解题。第一段第二句“They are surrounded by the sea, so it is not surprising that the sea has always played an important role in their lives.”可知，英国被海洋环绕，海对英国人的生活影响很大。分析选项可知C项符合题意。【6题详解】猜测词义题。根据第二段的“people commonly describe an honest and fair business deal as being “above board”可知，如果”一个诚实公正的人就会被认为是above board”。分析选项可知B项符合题意。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The ships boatswain (水手长) would blow a whistle, or pipe, at the end of the day to indicate (表明) to the sailors it was time to quieten down and go to sleep.”可知船上的水手长会在一天结束的时候吹口哨或吹笛子，向水手们表示应该安静下来睡觉了。分析选项可知A项符合题意。【8题详解】主旨大意。文章第一段介绍英国是一个受到海洋影响的国家，四周环海，航海在人们的生活中起着重要的作用。以此引入主题即水手们在航行时使用的一些航海术语对英语这门语言所产生的影响。分析选项可知B符合题意。【点睛】高考中词义推断可以是一个单词的意义推断，也可以是一个短语或句子的意义推断，既可以是生词意义，也可以是熟词新意；还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。在说明文，科技文中运用下定义或解释概念的方法来定义或诠释某一名词或概念是文章写作的又一特点。常用的定义信号词有： be defined as/be termed( 被定义为 ) ，describeas(把.描绘为),be called ( 被称为 ) ， mean/ refer to/be( 意指，是 ) 。如第2小题就属于猜测词义题。依据第二段的“people commonly describe an honest and fair business deal as being “above board”可知，如果“一个诚实公正的人就会被认为是above board”。分析选项可知B项符合题意。CIts 8 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2028, and you are headed for a business appointment 300 miles away. You step into your circle, two passenger aircushion car, press a series of buttons and the national traffic computer notes your destination, figures out the current traffic situation and signals your car to slide out of the garage. Hands free, you sit back and begin to read the morning paper which is flashed on a flat TV screen over the cars dashboard. Tapping a button changes the page.The car speeds up to 150 mph in the citys countryside, and then hits 250 mph in less builtup areas, driving over the smooth plastic road. You fly past a string of cities, many of them covered by the new domes (圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round. Traffic is heavy, typically, but theres no need to worry. The traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. There hasnt been an accident since the system began.Suddenly your TV phone buzzes. A business partner wants a sketch of a new kind of impeller your firm is putting out for sports boats. You reach for your case and draw the diagram with a pencilthin infrared flashlight (红外线闪光灯) on what looks like a TV screen lining the back of the case. The diagram is sent to a similar screen in your partners office, 200 miles away. He presses a button and a fixed copy of the sketch rolls out of the machine. He wishes you good luck at the coming meeting and signs off.Ninety minutes after leaving your home, you slide beneath the dome of your destination city. Your car slows down and heads for an outercore office building where youll meet your colleagues. After you get out, the vehicle parks itself in a garage to await your return.

A 10. B 11. C 12. D【解析】【分析】本文为记叙文。文中设想了未来的2028年时，我们的交通工具，生活的城市、公路，以及方便快捷的做生意方式。【9题详解】推理判断题。第一、二段中的“The traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. ” 可知， “车中的电脑就是要车距保持在一定的距离”。结合下一句“There hasnt been an accident since the system began”“自从系统启动以来，没有发生过事故”。可推断出车中的电脑就是能让车与车之间保持一个安全的距离。故选A。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“you fly past a string of cities, many of them covered by the new domes (圆屋顶) that keep them evenly climatized all year round.”可知许多城市都是新的圆屋顶，这些新的圆屋顶使它们全年气候均匀。分析选项可知，B项（不让城市全年气候剧烈变化）符合题意，故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段The car speeds up to 150 mph in the citys countryside, and then hits 250 mph in less builtup areas, driving over the smooth plastic road. 可知，“汽车是行驶在平坦的塑料路上”。由此可推断出那里城市的公路是用塑料材料建造的。分析选项可知C项符合题意。【12题详解】推理判断题。第三段讲述在路上接到商业伙伴的电话，即使是想要一幅草图，也可以把图发送给几百里之外的人。可知，这是用一个事例来说明即使你在路上，你也可以做生意。分析选项可知D项符合题意。【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。如第1小题就属于推理判断题。第一、二段中的The traffic computer, which sends and receives signals to and from all cars on the road between cities, keeps vehicles at least 50 yds apart. 可知，车中的电脑就是要车距保持在一定的距离。结合下一句“There hasnt been an accident since the system began”自从系统启动以来，没有发生过事故。可推断出车中的电脑就是能让车与车之间保持一个安全的距离。故选A。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。第二节：七选五:（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park, you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing._13_ Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park.Plan on seeing the show in advance.Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that youre going to see a show, you will likely end up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy. _14_Do your research.Research online: “The best places to view .” _15_ Some of them may even be less known, so you may not deal with such a big crowd.Arrive to the event early._16_ Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day. If you arrive ten minutes before the event starts, youre a lot less likely to get a good spot._17_If you must leave to do something, make sure that its extremely quick, and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away.A. Stay in the same area.B. Enjoy the show with a friend.C. Its usually much more enjoyable if you can get a good seat.D. This is especially important if you arrive closer to the event time.E. In order to get a good spot, plan on arriving an hour before the event.F. Therefore, look at the schedule before your trip, or at least the day before.G. Youll see a list of places in the park that are the best for viewing that event.【答案】13. C 14. F 15. G 16. E 17. A【解析】本文讲述了在迪士尼乐园或迪士尼公园都有夜间表演，本文着重介绍了如何获得一个好位置来更好地享受表演。【13题详解】前文中说在迪士尼夜间有表演，后一句提到如何获得一个好位子，所以中间肯定是说好位子可以给你带来好的享受，此外，还有一个非常重要的关键词：get a good seat，C项正好就有，和后文完全匹配起来，故选C。【14题详解】根据此段的标题Plan on seeing the show in advance.可知，要提前计划好，而且本段第一句也说了提前一小时也不行，故F项“至少提前一天”就符合要求了，故选F。【15题详解】根据后一句Some of them may even be less known中的them可推知，them就是指代好的观赏点，带着这个意思到选项中找，不难发现G项中的a list of places，指的是好的观赏点的清单，正好和下一句匹配起来，故选G。【16题详解】根据本段的标题Arrive to the event early可知，要提前到，带着这个意思到选项中找，不难发现E项中的plan on arriving an hour before the event“计划提前一小时到”符合此段意思，也和后一句Possibly even earlier意思匹配起来，故选E。【17题详解】根据本段的意思：如果你有事要离开一会，请务必尽快回来，并且要让一个跟你一起来的人在你离开时帮助你待在你的位置，所以本段的意思就是尽量待在原位置不要走，故选A。第三部分 语言知识运用（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Do you think you have what it takes to be a successful scientist?
