Madison Steinernicknamed “Peach”is making a difference in these childrens lives by giving them the gift of recognizing their individuality that shines through their health conditions. In 2011, she decided to put her caring on canvas(油画)but instead of turning to a traditional art medium, she started painting custom sneakers for children living with serious health conditions.As her giving gained strength, Steiner founded a nonprofit organization, Peachs Neet Feet, based in her home state of New Mexico.

But now a pair of “social X-Ray” glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking and when you should stop talking. The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other persons facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which convey emotions. It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means negative, amber means they are moderately interested and green means your date is happy. The glasses are currently under development by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Media Lab. They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an “extra sense” that they are bored or losing interest. The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism (孤独症) who have much difficulty interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider applications. The prototype works thanks to a camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small computer which can be attached to the users body. The camera monitors how long and how often 24 “feature points” appear on the subjects faces which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT team. This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer what is going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system. So far the glasses are still a work in progress and have been accurate just 64 percent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.28. According to the passage, “social X-Ray” glasses are mainly used in . A. shopping B. teaching C. traveling D. dating29. We can infer that the important part in “social X-Ray” glasses is .

It can help individual know what their date is thinking. D. It has been accurate over 90 percent.31. The red light in “social X-Ray” glasses means that . A. their date is happy B. the wire of the glasses is broken C. their date feels gradually bored D. their date is interested in the personD If you get seared when you go skydiving, perhaps a good way to cope is to team up with someone who feels the same. A new study suggests sharing your feelings of stress with someone having a similar emotional reaction to the same situation reduces levels of stress more than sharing them with someone who does not.The study lender Sarah Townsend and her colleagues invited 52 female undergraduates to take part in a study on public speaking where they had to prepare and give a speech that would be recorded on video. Before giving their speeches, the participants were placed in pairs and encouraged to discuss with each other how they felt about the situation. The researchers measured the participants emotional states, and how threatening they perceived giving a speech to be. They also took measures of the stress hormone cortisol, before, during and after the speech.The results show that sharing a threatening situation with a person who is in a similar emotional state buffers(缓解) individuals from experiencing the heightened levels of stress.In other words, says Prof. Townsend, imagine you are facing a stressful situation at work, perhaps an important project, and then interacting with a co-worker with a similar emotional profile can help reduce your experience of stress. Prof. Townsend now wants to extend the scope of the research to look at how developing emotional similarity might help people from different cultural backgrounds who have to work together, for example employees or students.32. What should you do if you are afraid when you go skydiving? A. Reduce stress. B. Participate in the study. C. Go to Prof. Townsend. D. Team up with someone who feels the same.33. Who can benefit from Sarah Townsends findings? A. Undergraduates. B. Colleagues. C. Researchers and professors. D. People experiencing stress at work.34. What does the underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Feel B. Point. C. Suggest D. Persuade35. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to deal with your stress. B. Stress reduces when shared. C. Talking to colleagues helps to increase your stress. D. People should take part in public speaking.第二节（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。It sometimes happens that even after preparing well we perform badly in exams. Let me list a few situations and explain why and when this happens.Avoid reading late at night before exams.This is the most common mistake that causes you to blank out during exams. You cannot recall what you studied the last night due to incomplete sleep. You should sleep earlier than usual the night before exams and wake up after getting a complete sleep. 36 Improve your handwriting.Consider that you have bad handwriting, and your examiner isnt able to understand what you have written. 37 Good handwriting on the other hand puts a good impression on the examiner and helps to score well.The length of answer matters.Length of answer often matters for scoring well in exams. To increase the length you should add the points which otherwise appears obvious to your answer. 38 But remember, whatever you write, make sure it is correct and rightly synchronized. Dont let the examiner put red ink on your sheet except for giving good marks. 39 If you write something taken from a non-standard book then despite being correct it may appear unfamiliar to the examiner. So he will probably give you less marks. Remember the examiner wont miss the chance to reduce some marks despite the concept being a correct one.Revise and recheck your answer script. 40 Revising your answers helps to find out the mistakes that you made while writing your answer. Correct the mistakes and dont forget to underline the important points with pencil that you want to highlight before your examiner.A. Write in paragraphs.B. Examiners familiarity with a topic is important.C. Then all your work will go in vain.D. Quote lines from standard texts.E. A relaxed mind works better than a tired one.F. It is the last thing before handing over the answer sheet.G. Keep a wristwatch along with you in the examination hall.第三部分 英语知识运用（共二节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从短文后所给的四个选项（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。“You will never walk again.
