Lets see which one will take your fancy.Disappearing EarthBy Julia PhillipsIn the first chapter of this novel, two young girls vanish, sending shock waves through a town on the edge of the remote and mysterious Kamchatka Peninsula. What follows is a novel of overlapping short stories about the different women who have been affected by their disappearance. Each tale pushes the narrative forward another month and exposes the ways in which the women of Kamchatka have been destroyed personally, culturally and emotionally by the crime.No Visible BruisesBy Rachel Louise SnyderSnyders thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; domestic violence cuts across lines of class, religion and race. Snyder reveals pervasive myths (restraining orders are the answer, abusers never change) and writes movingly about the lives (and deaths) of people on both sides of the equation. She doesnt give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.Midnight in ChernobylBy Adam HigginbothamHigginbothams superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid detail and sharply etched personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence moves from mistake to mistake, miscalculation to miscalculation, as it builds to the inevitable, history-changing disaster.ExhalationBy Ted ChiangMany of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend who explains scientific theory to you with no airs and graces. Each thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through remarkable areas.21Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a family?ADisappearing EarthBNo Visible BruisesCMidnight in ChernobylDExhalation22How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?ADelighted. BAwkward. CTense. DCalm.23What kind of book is Exhalation?AA folk tale. BA biography. CA love story.

Then she woke up her sons, Eddie and Jasper, and quickly explained, Weve got a lot to do, boys. There is no school today, and my office is closed. The hurricane is coming!Just then, the boys grandfather arrived from his seaside home. Grandpa explained that the local government had told people to evacuate their homes by the sea. It just wasnt safe for anyone to stay near the ocean during the hurricane.Soon afterwards, Mrs. Timms left to buy supplies that the family would need during the storm. Batteries, bottled water and canned food were a few of the items on her list.Grandpa stayed with the boys, and the three of them made preparations for the storm. First, they filled the bathtub and all the empty water bottles they could find. Next, they unplugged(拔掉插头)almost everything in the house. Then, Eddie helped Grandpa strengthen the windows. Meanwhile, Jasper put the outdoor chairs inside.Later, as the storm approached, the family stayed in protected areas away from the windows and outside walls. Mrs. Timms and Grandpa moved chairs to a protected space near the staircase. Eddie and Jasper sat under a strong table next to them, reading and playing games. They waited for the radio announcer to declare that the hurricane had passed.28What did Mrs. Timms do after hearing the hurricane warning?AShe went to work.

DThe Day of the Hurricane.D Hey, You Looking at Me?The renowned Spanish magician and magic theorist Juan Tamariz wrote in his classic book that to make an audience feel seen, a performer must extend “imaginary threads from the performers eyes to the spectators,” taking care to not break them during the performance.A new study, published earlier this month, suggests that for spectators to feel that they have eye-to-eye contact with the person onstage, the latter needs not extend imaginary threads from his or her eyes to the eyes of the audience. In fact, we perceive direct eye contact from other people not only when they look us in the eye, but also when they look at any other part of our face.Shane Rogers, Oliver Guidetti, and their collaborators at Edith Cowan University in Perth, set out to determine whether people experience an eye contact illusion during natural conversation, and if so, how strong the misperception might be. They conducted two eye-tracking studies:In the first experiment, Guidetti engaged in one on one getting acquainted conversations with 46 students, with both Guidetti and the student wearing eye-tracking glasses. In one half of the 4-minute conversations, Guidetti looked at the students eyes most of the time, and in the other half of the conversations, he looked at the students mouth most of the time. The data showed that, whereas mutual face gazing was comparable in the two participant groups, mutual eye contact was much lower. Once the conversation was over, students rated how much eye contact they believed Guidetti had made, and how much they had enjoyed the conversation. Both subject groups produced equivalently high ratings in each measure, indicating that our perception of eye contact during conversation has more to do with mutual face gazing than with actual eye contact.In the second experiment, 36 pairs of students (all wearing eye-tracking goggles) participated in an eye gaze guessing game, where participants alternated the roles of gazer and guesser for 30 experimental trials. In each trial, the gazer looked for about 2 seconds at one of five locations on the guessers face: eyes, mouth, nose, forehead, or either ear. Then, the guesser tried to guess the location the gazer had just looked at. The guessers accuracy was above chance level, suggesting that people do possess some ability to figure out the location of another persons gaze when actively watching out for it. However, participants were slanted to guessing eyes when unsure.Based on the combined findings from both experiments, the researchers concluded that, unless people are specifically attending to gaze location, they are not very sensitive to the exact focus of their partners gaze upon their face during the course of natural conversation.The bad news is, your perception of soul-to-soul eye contact with your romantic partner may be all in your head (your soulmate could be looking at your mouth, or even your ear, as they declare their everlasting love). But the good news is, if the act of looking at other peoples eyes makes you anxious, or if you dread speaking in front of an audience, you dont need to sweat the small stuff. Just look in the general direction of peoples faces and itll feel to them like meaningful eye contact.

Do you know in advance that you hate it when someone hits the snooze button (贪睡闹铃) fifteen times every morning? That youre a neat freak (怪人)? That you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up? 37 Its not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to avoid problems before they become problems.Address problems when theyre little. Is your roommate always forgetting her things for the shower, and taking yours? 38 Addressing things that annoy you while theyre still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after theyve become big.39 This may seem simple, but its probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Dont think hell mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just stepped over an uncrossable line. Dont borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.Be mindful of who you bring into your room-and how often. 40 But your roommate may not. Be mindful of how often you bring people over. If your roommate studies best in the quiet, and you study best in a group, can you alternate who hits the library and who gets the room?ABe open to new ideas and experiences.BRespect all the things that belong to your roommate.CYou may love having your study group into your room.DExpect to learn, grow and change during the time in the college.E. Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them?F. Let your roommate know as soon as you can about your little preferences.G. Having a roommate can be both a challenge and a great part of your college experience.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was the fool at school, regarded as a special needs student.
