浙江省湖州市2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解暑假选练（4）阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。contrary to popular belief，looking at someones face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are roaring in celebration or screaming in frustration，researchers claimed. while people may believe they have the ability to read each others faces，body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.in a study，groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.in some cases the volunteers were able to see the players full body，but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body，but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone. those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.the researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy，pleasure，victory，pain and defeat.using photoediting software，the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion，and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.the resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions，demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.dr aviezer，who led the study，said，“these results show that when emotions become extremely intense，the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear. the results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations. for example，individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions，but if they are trained to process important body language，their performance may significantly improve.”【解题导语】最新的研究表明：通过观察别人的眼睛，人们并不能完全读懂他们的心情，但如果通过肢体语言，人体却能更好地了解。1people

when it opened one year ago. today, ithas more than 180 each week. some observers say american english is becoming the language of international business. increased contact with american culture, like movies, television programs, computer games and the internet is spreading american expressions and accents in areas other than business. but for now, people hearing english in the streets of hong kong are mainly hearing traditional british english. “we can understand both, but for what we speak, we speak with the british accent, ”said one local woman. “the british is better i think, ”commented a

trap”的提示可知，此处应选用struggle。答案a3a. birdbflycinsectdworm解析bird意为“鸟”；fly意为“苍蝇”；insect意为“昆虫”；worm意为“爬虫”。由第二段第五句中的“the fly to try hard enough to succeed in.”可知，b项正确。答案b4a. experiencebdirectioncforcedattempt解析experience意为“经验，经历”；direction意为“方向”；force意为“武力”；attempt意为“尝试”。根据上下文语境可知，苍蝇正在尝试穿过玻璃飞出去。答案d5a.
