12、be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said.

13、Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds nearly twice as long as in Americans meetings.I

14、n Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you dont speak at all. Its already a failure to understand each other by speaking because youre repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different

15、 races. When you have a complex of difference, its hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and theres understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when theres more homogeneity, p

16、erhaps its easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family its easier to sit in silence than with people youre less well acquainted with.1、Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?AThe Dutch. BAmericans.CThe English.

17、DThe Japanese.2、What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?ASpeaking more gives the upper hand.BSpeak out what you have in your mind.CGreat minds think alike without words.DThe shorter talking silence, the better.3、What can we learn from the text?AA four second silence in conversation is u

18、niversal.BIts hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.CEnglish speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.DThe closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.4、What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?ASimilarity. BContradiction.CDiversity.

19、DMisunderstanding.22（8分）The key to getting people to work together effectively could be giving them the freedom to choose their collaborators (合作者) and the comfort of working with established contacts, new research suggests.In the study, David Melamed, an assistant professor of sociology at the Ohio

20、 State University and lead author of the study, and his co-authors found participants through the Amazon Mechanical Turk website a service that allows researchers to hire people from around the world for a variety of purposes. For this study, all participants were from the United States.Those who ag

21、reed to participate played online games in which each player started out with 1,000 monetary units that translated to $1 in real money they could pocket. If one player agreed to pay another player 50 monetary units, that second person would actually acquire 100 units. Each of the 16-round games incl

22、uded about 25 participants, some of whom participated in multiple games. In all, 810 people participated in the research.Some of the games included random networks, where certain people could interact. Others included clustered (群集的) networks, in which a small group had multiple connections an arran

23、gement that was designed to mimic (模拟) real life, where humans often run their lives in packs. And the networks were either static (静态的) or dynamic (动态的). In static networks, a player could interact only with the appointed partners. In dynamic networks, participants could cut their ties with another

24、 player and form new connections. Furthermore, some of the games included reputation information. Participants were labeled based on their history of willingness to share money. The idea was to test whether those known to collaborate were favored by other players based on reputation a factor shown i

25、n previous research to play a significant role in whether a person is likely to partner with another.Melamed and his research partners were surprised to find that whether people are likely to partner with others had nothing to do with reputation in this study. The findings might have departed from p

26、revious studies because of the difference in size and study design, he said, explaining that much of the previous work in this area was conducted in groups of 100 or fewer and mostly involved student subjects. The Turk network used for the new study has been shown to be representative of the U.S. po

27、pulation in terms of age, race and other factors and the introduced players had no previous connections.Cooperation rates overall were high and highest when the participants were cooperating in clusters and had the ability to drop a partner in favor of another. “What really seems to matter is the ab

28、ility to change the structure of a network,” Melamed said. “And the patterns of relationships also made a difference. Those in a known cluster with multiple connections cooperated more.”1、What did David Melamed and his partners do for their study?AThey hired 810 people globally.BThey gave each parti

29、cipant $1,000.CThey designed 16-round online games.DThey asked each participant to take part in only one game.2、Compared with previous research, the new study found that _.Areputation played no role in cooperationBstudent subjects were more likely to partner with othersCplayers having connections be

30、fore were more cooperativeDcooperation rates were influenced by age, race and other factors3、It can be inferred that the purpose of the study led by David Melamed is to discover _.Ahow to change the patterns of relationshipsBwhat leads people to collaborate most willinglyCwhat kind of person is the

The excitement of waiting for a prey(猎物)and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me. However, everything changed after that cold morning.Early on that day of the

32、 late fall, I set off alone for the woods, packing a gun, a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches. After finding the fresh deers tracks in the snow, I settled down behind a little bush.I sat there for about an hour. It was then that I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! There was no cov

33、er nearer to him than 30 yards. Surely I couldnt miss! I waited for him to realize I was there. I waited for him to be shocked and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid-how else can you explain it? Well, that deer walked right up

34、 to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me!What happened next is hard to believe, but its true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head. And he liked to be scratched. In fact, he practically asked for more

35、. Then, I fed him my sandwich! Yes, I know what a deer eats, but that deer ate my sandwich. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldnt have either, not after that. I just watched him go.When I was about half way back, I heard two shots, followe

36、d by a dull slam(撞击)a few seconds later. Those two shots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head.1、Why didnt the author kill the deer?AHe preferred to shoot a shy deer.BHe was fooled by the tricky deer.C

37、He was sympathetic for the deer.DHe was too shocked to shoot the deer.2、What most probably happened to the deer in the end?AOther hunters shot the deer to death.BOther hunters scratched the deers head too.CThe deer managed to escape from being shot.DThe deer would become friends with the author.3、Wh

You go about your daily business for 12 long ye

39、ars and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.That in itself is unusual enough, but

40、 the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leavin

41、g just rock pools behind.There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that t

42、ime before it was washed away again.As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long its going to be around for, they are making the most of the time theyve got before it disappears again.Some may be quick to belie

43、ve climate changes cause the phenomenon, but thats not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes.Regardless of whats ca

44、using them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.1、What is peoples reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?AFull of fear.BQuite delighted.CVery disappointed.DExtremely con fused.2、What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh?AIt is not locate
