10、-year-old boy in a Sunday school class of 8-year-old girls and boys. Sometimes the third graders didnt welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downss Syndrome. This ma
11、de him “different”, with its facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems. One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and di
12、scover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another w
13、as a butterfly. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “Thats stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “Its mine. I did it. Its empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From tha
14、t day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.Philips family knew he wouldnt live a long life, for there were too many things wrong with him.21The underlined word “condition” in the 1 st paragraph probably means _.A. gr

18、e in distinguishing facial expressions-and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and
19、Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,“ Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.“According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion
20、is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the ey
21、e movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular ey
22、e movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,“ Jack said. “Our data
23、 suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.“In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will
24、 help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.26 The discovery shows that Westerners _A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB. consider facial expressions univ
25、ersally reliableC. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions27 What were the people asked to do in the study?A. To make a face at each other.B. To get their faces impressive.C. To classify some face pictures.D. To observe the researcher
26、s faces.28 What does the underlined word “they“ in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The participants in the study.B. The researchers of the study.C. The errors made during the studyD. The data collected from the study.29 In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _A. do translation more successf
27、ullyB. study the mouth more frequentlyC. examine the eyes more attentivelyD. read facial expressions more correctly30 What can be the best title for the passage?A.

28、ase Cross-cultural UnderstandingMandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses say she seemed to sense t
29、he big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And shes not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“Its very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith,
30、the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm call if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can if youre an animal. “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing
31、,” said Brandie Smith. “Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for co
32、ver. The flamingoes (a kind of bird) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough says earthquakes produce two types of waves a weak “P” wave and then a much stron
33、ger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She said she thinks the “P” wave might be what set the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith says the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But
34、 many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “Im not surprised at all,” Smith said.31Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a l
35、oud call.D. Because an earthquake had happened.32According to Brandie Smith, _.A. many animals hearing is sharpB. earthquakes produce two types of wavesC. primates usually gather together before a quakeD. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake33 Which word in the passage has a close me
36、aning to the underlined word “cover”?A. vibration B. shelter C. quake D. range34 Which animal seems unable to sense a quake?A. A giant panda. B. A flamingo. C. A lemur. D. A lizard.35 What is the best title for the passage?A. How animals survive a quake.B. How animals differ from humans.C. How anima
37、ls behave before a quake.D. How animals protect their young in a quake.One girl decided to study judo（柔道）although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldnt understand why, after three months of tra
38、ining, the instructor had taught her only one move.“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shuldnt I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move youll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept
39、training.Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to wi
40、n the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.This time, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when th
41、e instructor intervened（干预）.“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake; she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.One the
42、 way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, youve almost mastered one of t
43、he most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your Left arm.”The girls biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.36What can we learn about the girl?AShe was disabled in an accident. BShe disliked judo training.CShe learnt se
44、veral moves. DShe won the first two matches hard.37The underlined word “overmatched” probably means .Aimpatient Bdepressed Cdefeated Dtrapped38The girl won the championship because of .Aher bravery Bher skills Cher tricks Dher strength39Which of the following is probably the best title of the story?
45、AThe Story of a Girl. BA Disabled Girl.CDefense Matters.
