very different! they can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. people probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. however, they can also be similarin ways of connecting with each other. we sometimes call these means of communication universal languages. some legends hold that, thousands of years ago, there was a single language spoken by everyone on earth. it is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course. today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. yet, there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. for example, some people believe music is a universal language. there may be some scientific support for this idea, too. experts have learned that, across cultures, people can recognize three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness and fear. so what other types of universal languages might there be? some people believe dance .is .a universal language. along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by peoples all over the world. do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it? we bet you could! another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! if youthink about it now, though, it just makes sense. the value of pi is roughly 3.14159 nomatter where you are on earth. likewise, figuring out the value of something involvesthe same mathematical calculations, regardless of whether youre counting in dollars,pesos or coconuts.28. the underlined word this in paragraph 2 probably refers to _ a. the evidence that proves old languages funny b. the fact that there used to be many languages c. the view that people only used one language d. the doubt that people didnt understand each other29. music is regarded as a universal language probably because _ a. it can be understood more easily than languages b. it can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life c. it usually comes from different backgrounds d.it helps people to share common feelings . 30. what are the universal languages according to the passage? a. math, english and music. b. music, dance and math. c. history, culture and music. d. emotion, pi and music: 31. which of the following best tells the structure of this passage? d think again before raising an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, siblingor colleague as they could help make you smarter. new research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be lifted throughoutadulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching careers. thestudy challenges the common belief that intelligence is static by the age of 18. currentscientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, withenvironmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age.after this point iq scores stabilize. but james flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at a university ofnew zealand, argues that people can upgrade their own intelligence throughouttheir lives. he believes intellectual stimulation from others is crucial as the brain seems to be rather like a muscle-the more you use it, the stronger it gets. however,the opposite is also true - so people sharing a home or workplace with those who areintellectually challenged risk seeing their iq levels fall as a result. he found the. cognitive （认知) quality of a family changes the iqs of allmembers, especially children. it can lift or hold back, depending on the gap between their brightness and that of their siblings and parents. a bright ten-year-oldwith siblings of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point iq disadvantage, compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. however, children with a lowiq could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up. . professor flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiencesdetermine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked tolifestyle. this means people can raise their iq, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. therefore, the best way to boost iq level is to mix with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.32. we can learn from the passage that_ . a. as the age grows, you will become smarter b. a 35-year-old man is surely smarter than himself at the age of 18 c. you will be smarter if you have a partner, a friend or a sibling d. after 18, you still have the possibility to become smarter33. the underlined word static in the 3rd paragraph probably means . a. unstable b. fixed c. varied d. repeated34. james flynn holds the belief that a. intellectual stimulation from others can change ones iq b. people should completely avoid those intellectually challenged c. ones iq could be held back if he has bright brothers or sisters . d. ones iq is least influenced by the understanding level of a family35.,whats the best title for the passage? a. genetics determines intelligence. b. watch out for intelligence falling. c. bright siblings make you smarter. d. brains just like muscle.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。what affects our self-esteem（自尊）? puberty（青春期）and development. some people struggle with theirself-esteem and body image when they begin puberty. 36 these changes,combined with wanting to feel accepted by our friends, mean it can make us want tocompare ourselves with others. the trouble with that is, not everyone grows ordevelops at the same time or in the same way. media images and other outside influences. our early teens are a time when webecome more aware of celebrities and media images as well as how other kids lookand how we fit in with others. 37 all of this can affect how we feel aboutourselves and our bodies even as we grow into our teens. families and schools. family- life can sometimes influence our body images.38 family members might struggle with their own body image or criticize their kids looks. this can all influence a persons self-esteem, especially if theyresensitive to others -comments, even their classmates. 39 although these often come from ignorance, sometimes they can affect body images and self-esteem. healthy self-esteem. if you have a positive body image, you probably like andaccept yourself the way you are, even if you dont fit some media ideals. this healthy attitude allows you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing goodfriendships, becoming more independent, and challenging yourself physically and mentally. 40a. friendship is important to our school life.b. its a time when the body goes through many changes.c. teens may experience many problems when growing up.d. some parents might be too focused on looking a certain way.e. developing these parts of yourself can help improve your self-esteem.f. we might start to compare ourselves with other people or media images.g. people may also experience negative comments about the way they look from classmates.第三部分英语知识运用 第一节完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a,b，c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。learning to accept i learned how to accept life as it is actually from my father. 41,he did notteach me acceptance when he was 42 ,but rather when he was weak and ill. my father was 43 a strong man who loved being active, but a terribleillness took all that 44 .now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in achair all day. even talking is 45 .one night,1 went to visit him with my sisters.we started 46 about life, and i told them about one of my一47 .i said thatwe must very often give things up 48 we grow-our youth, our beauty, ourfriends-but it always 49 that after we give something up, we gain somethingnew in its place. then suddenly my father 50 up. he said, but, peter, i gave up 51 !what did i gain?
