his arm, and became totally breathless and lost consciousness. as he fell down, half in, half out of the car, his last thought was “what a way to die”.a young woman getting into her own car in the

at the gate.fearing an ambulance would take too long to arrive, she felt it better to get to the hospital as quickly as she could. she raced through traffic lights sounding her cars horn and rushed into the hospital, calling out, “i have an unknown man here who i think is having a heart attack.”having realized he was in capable hands, the woman returned to the car park, found his keys on the ground, collected his papers and piled them in the car. having seen my husband come out of a certain building each day, the security guard thought he knew where he worked. the young woman managed to locate his colleagues and they in turn contacted my niece, who waited for me to return home so she could break the news to me.after careful tests it turned out that my husbands disease had nothing to

when they arrive include finding a bike (most students in oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.one of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to oxford is matriculation. matriculation is held at the universitys sheldonian theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.international students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in the uk and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. the day covers topics such as studying and learning in the oxford system, university services, information on living in britain and cultural differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. you can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.another good thing to experience early is college dining. most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. on some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. in this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.28. for a newcomer to oxford, what does he have to do first?a. to work out what to major in.b. to open a qq account.c. to get a bike to go around.d. to buy

treating you to dinner.b. visiting historic college in return.c. studying the subjects with your friend.d. showing you around the college.dnew research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue; you may also be seeing it differently. your mood may affect how you see the world around you, according to a new study. a team of researchers has proved that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.the team, led by psychology researcher christopher thorstenson of the university of rochester, found that people who had a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis (轴), compared to people who werent feeling sad.“we were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena, like mood, even when these concepts seem unrelated,” thorstenson said in a statement. “we thought maybe a reason why these metaphors (比喻) appear was that there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way.”thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition. in 2010, emanuel bubl and his team at albert ludwigs university freiburg in germany first proved a link between mood and identifying colors. this was supported by a 2013 paper by johnson fam of the university of singapore.the team conducted two studies. in the first, 127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips, which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness or amusement. they didnt do that in a specific order. the entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color changes. the group that had been shown the sad clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis.for the second study, 130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral (中性的) one. the sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group. 32. if one _, the colors he sees might be different from those in others eyes.a. is in a good mood b. has an eye illnessc. attends a speech d. doesnt feel happy33. who were the first to find out the link between mood and identifying colours?a. thorstenson and johnson.b. thorstenson and his team.c. johnson and his team.d. emaneuel and his team.34. the sadness group in the second study _.a. felt happy when watching the videob. performed better than the otherc. were less able to identify some coloursd. could only identify blue and yellow35. what does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably mean?a. in no specific place.b. with no specific rule.c. with no specific confidence.d. at no specific time.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。every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation (违反) of good manners. the word “taboo” comes from the tongan language and is used in modern english to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 36 they tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a groups values and beliefs. what is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another. verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to ones manner of speaking. in many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. in some countries, the volume (音量) of ones voice may annoy people. 37 38 for example, one of the biggest differences among many western, asian, and african cultures is the use of eye contact. in the us, people make eye contact when they talk to others. 39 in many asian and african cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. 40 also, in some asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or talking with your hands, is considered unsuitable.behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. when visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.a. nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.b. in vietnam and argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.c. in spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.d. cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.e. learn a countrys customs so that you dont hurt the local people unconsciously.f. they might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.g. if a person avoids eye contact, others might think he is being dishonest or unconfident.第三部分 完形填空（共20小题;
