means that you shouldnt build your first impression of someone on his or her looks alone. but according to a new study, the famous saying might not be correct after all. a group of us scientists have found that the first impression we have of someone else is actually right most of the time.in the study, scientists asked participants to look at a photograph of a person and make a quick judgment about him or her. a month later, the participant and the person in the photo were introduced, and scientists were shocked to find that their judgments often match those that they had made originally.its true that simply looking at someone wont provide you with as much information. but, according to scientists, when making a first impression, people rely more on their instincts (直觉) than on logic (逻辑). “they focus on how that person makes them feel,” paul eastwick of the university of texas told live science. “it is very hard to get a sense of this information when simply viewing a profile(简介). as soon as one sees another person, an impression is formed and what we see can sometimes dominate what we know.”of course, no one can be right about everything and your instincts can go wrong sometimes. but even if it is proven to be wrong, once people form an opinion about someone, they have a hard time getting over that opinion later on.the findings help explain why people always tidy themselves up before meeting guests or doing job interviews.“their face constantly reminds us of that first impression,” said rule. people may learn more about another person over time once they get close to each other, but first impressions remain very important and seem difficult to forget.21what did the us scientists of the university of texas find out in their recent study?a. its unwise to judge a book by its cover.b. its better to judge by logic than by instincts.c. first impressions tend to last more often than not.d. profiles provide more information than you have imagined.22the underlined word “dominate” is closest in meaning to .a. determine b. changec. cover d. acquire23we can conclude from the article that _.a. first impressions never go wrongb. its difficult to change a wrong first impressionc. it takes a long time to form a first impressiond. first impressions are easy to change after people know each other betteryou 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, lift users 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 its 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 dont 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 arms length of distance between us. and thats 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.24the main purpose of the article is to _.a. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetteb. share an interesting but awkward elevator ridec. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevatord. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator25according to gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _.a. turn around and greet one anotherb. try to keep a distance from other peoplec. look around or examine their phoned. make eye contact with those in the elevator26the writer wrote the passage in a tone of _.a. disapproved b. supportivec. negative d. objective27which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?for a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). they were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. there were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “come on!” my friend alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “youll feel great.”well, i had nothing against feeling great and if alex could jog every day, anyone could. so i took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, im not alone in my opinion.first of all, jogging is very hard on the body. your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. i developed foot, leg, and back problems. then i read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and i had something else to worry about. jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.secondly, i got no enjoyment out of jogging. putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. jogging is also a lonely pastime. some joggers say, “i love being out there with just my thoughts.” well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.and how could i enjoy something that brought me pain? and that wasnt just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. i never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. what a cruel way to do it! so many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?i dont jog any more, and i dont think i ever will. im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. i bicycle to work when the weather is good. im getting exercise, and im enjoying it at the same time. i could never say the same for jogging, and ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.28the underlined word “them”(paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.a. heart attacks b. back problemsc. famous joggers d. physical weaknesses29what was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?a. he felt it was worth a try.b. he was very fond of it.c. he was strongly against it.d. he thought it must be painful.30why did the writer give up jogging two months later?a. he disliked doing exercise outside.b. he found it neither healthy nor interesting.c. he was afraid of having a heart attack.d. he was worried about being left alone.31from the writers experience, we can conclude that_.a. not everyone enjoys joggingb. he is the only person who hates joggingc. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitd. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sporta tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? a recent research shows that most people would choose the latter.this type of woman is called a nhanzi (“tough woman”). experts believe these characteristics have social and psychological roots among young females in china. su haos friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finish tough tasks usually carried out by men. for example, she carries 10-litre water to her dormitory on the 5th floor. “i depend on no one but myself,” she says.according to a recent survey by china youth daily, tough women have become rather common in society. of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent said they are familiar with a tough woman. about 50 percent said they like women with tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the opposite view.why are tough women gaining popularity? shen meng, a psychological consultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to this trend. “women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” shen says. “in order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” liu xiaolin, professor of psychology at wuhan mental health center, believes tough women are brought up this way. they are often on close relationship with their fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. as a result, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and more tolerant to stress, according to liu.though liu believes that this is a good trend, hu shenzhi, a psychologist at the guangdong sunflower counseling center, says the popularity of tough woman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead to relationship problems. “some women with characteristics that differ from the traditional female image may have a difficult time finding mr right,” he says. “even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause family conflicts.32which of the followings doesnt belong to the characteristics of a tough woman?a. she is independent of others in daily life.b. she can solve problems usually for men.c. she is more tolerant to stress.d. she is soft and tender to others.33how many respondents like tough women?a. about 21,265. b. about 16,700c. about 10,600. d. about 6,20034why are there more tough women nowadays?a. because tough women are more lovely.b. because of the fierce competition in society.c. because girls often love fathers more.d. because more women want to be independent.35what problems may tough women have in their life?a. they may have difficulty with marriage.b. they often suffer gender confusion.c. its difficult for them to be friends.d. they have different characteristics from traditional female images.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to do well in examsdo not underestimate(低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. the closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining(保持）crucial(关键的） information. but do not overdo it. 36 an effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. it can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it. on the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need （pens, pencils, erasers, etc.）, then make your way to the examination hall in good time 37 .once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. when you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as discuss, compare and evaluate. 38 it is always wise to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. it will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.39 if you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling - or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 40 a. do not arrive too early, though, as other peoples anxiety can be contagious(有传染性), and you may suffer from undue（多度的） panic.b. try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.c. when you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didnt understand.d. sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.e. map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.f. go and have a well-earned rest, then prepare for your next exam.g. underestimate the test in your mind.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，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）
