to get to the other side!” thats an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when i saw people crossing the road at the intersection of shaanxi road and huaihai road in shanghai. when the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. just like chickens, they didnt mind the honking horns (喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess. every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in shanghai. and at least one third of them were jaywalking (乱穿马路). jaywalking is very common in shanghai. it seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves. traffic laws are to keep people safe. so we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. when someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. that way we can avoid the traffic accidents.( ) 45. the underlined word “intersection” here probably means “_”. a. road b. bridge c. crossing d. traffic( ) 46. the writer saw people _ in shanghai that day. a. crossing the road in a mess b. waiting for the green light patiently c. crossing the road with chickens d. hurting each other in the street( ) 47. how does the writer like what he saw in shanghai that day? a. he thinks its ok. b. he thinks its wrong. c. he has no idea of it. d. he doesnt mention it （b）my teenage son karl became withdrawn (孤僻的) after his father died. as a single parent, i tried to do my best to talk to him. but the more i tried, the more he pulled away. when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. i considered he would never graduate. i sent him to the school adviser, and i even begged (恳求) him. nothing worked.one night i felt so powerless that i got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “please god, i cant do anything more for my son. im at the end of my rope. im giving the whole thing up to you.”i was at work when i got a phone call. a man introduced himself as the headmaster. “i want to talk to you about karls absences.” before he could say another word, i choked up (哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “i love my son but i just dont know what to do. ive tried everything to get karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. its out of my hands. ”for a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. the headmaster seriously said, “thank you for your time” and hung up.karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. finally, he even made the honor roll (上光荣榜)in his fourth year, i attended a parent-teacher meeting with karl. i noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. on our way home, he said, “mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year？”i nodded. “that was me. i thought id play a joke but when i heard what you said, it really hit me how much i was hurting you. thats when i knew i had to make you proud.”( ) 48. by saying “karl became withdrawn” in paragraph 1, the writer means that the boy changed completely and _.a. preferred to stay alone at home b. lost interest in any activity c. refused to talk to others d. began to dislike his mother( ) 49. “there was silence on the other end of the line” in paragraph 3 because _.a. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the motherb. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speakingc. the speaker didnt want the mother to find out who he wasd. the speaker was unable to cut in( ) 50. what is the main idea of this passage？a. children in single parent families often have study problems.b. mothers love plays an important role in teenagers life.c. being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.d. school education doesnt work without full support from parents.（c）it seems that theres a good reason why dogs are always seen as mans best friends. scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotion (情感) in faces much like humans. the finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry. when humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the persons face first. a possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions. scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have “left gaze bias (左视偏好)”, but only when looking at human faces. no other animal has been known to do like this before. dr. kun guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. the dogs eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. but this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs. guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions. “recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. if true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first.”( ) 51. why are dogs seen as mans best friends according to the passage? a. because dogs are the closest animals to humans. b. because dogs can read the emotions in humans faces easily. c. because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad. d. because dogs are good at expressing emotions.( ) 52. the dogs left gaze bias helps them _. a. get along well with humansb. express emotions quickly c. have more understanding friendsd. remember more new faces( ) 53. the passage mainly wants to tell us that _. a. dogs have been mans best friends for thousands of years b. humans have a “left gaze bias” c. dogs can read emotions the same as humans d. the “left gaze bias” works on all animals（d）a team of us psychologists (心理学家) have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.“socializing (交际) is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual (智力的) performance,” oscar ybarra, a psychologist at the university of michigan institute for social research, said in a statement.in one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.they found that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive (认知的) functioning. social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors.in another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate (评估) how social interactions and intellectual exercises influenced the results of memory and mental performance tests.the students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group (对照组) watched a 10-minute clip (电影片段) of the seinfeld television show.“we found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants (参与者) intellectual performance as much as engaging in (从事) so-called intellectual activities for the same amount of time,” ybarra said. the study was expected to be published in the february issue of the journal personality and social psychology bulletin.( ) 54. what does the underlined word “boosting” in the second paragraph probably mean?a. improving. b. reducing. c. preventing. d. training.( ) 55. which is not included in social interaction?a. having a talk with a neighbor. b. attending a birthday party.c. watching tv at home alone. d. calling your classmates.( ) 56. whats the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?a. to judge the influence of social interaction on memory and intelligence.b. to find out what is real social interaction.c. to learn how much time is needed for social interaction.d. to show the function of peoples cognition.( ) 57. whats the main idea of the passage?a. intellectual exercises make your memory better. b. different people have different ways of communication.c. communicating with others keeps you healthy.d. social interaction makes you smart.第卷 (主观题，共40分)四、词汇运用 (本大题共8分，每小题1分)(a) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式1. he seldom _ (回复) to the e-mails his friends send him.2. the weather was _ (糟糕的), so we had to stay indoors.3. the _ (政府) says it will try its best to lower the housing price.4. i enjoy the _ (乡下). it makes me feel comfortable there.(b) 根据句意，写出所给单词的适当形式5. she tried her best but did _ (bad) among all the members in the team.6. its _ (care) of you to leave your key on my desk.7. why did they keep _ (silence) when they read the letter?
