The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University，who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame.1.______ They tried to find a large group of people，and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before. The answer was Athens，during the 2004 Olympic Games.Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind.2.______ Working with a professional photographer，Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors，41 of whom had lost their sight，and 12 of whom were blind from birth.The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions，and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads，arms and bodies.3.______ The winners tilted their heads up，smiled，lifted their arms and puffed out their chests，while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers. 4．______ Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements.And while it's possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions，it's very unlikely that they could have taught them all—particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest. These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from every part of the world.Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness，fear and surprise.5.______ A.They are inborn behaviours and are accompanied by their own distinct sets of actions. B．In fact，the culture was found to have only a very small effect on their body language. C．Therefore，they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing. D．The result suggested that the athletes were showing their pride based on careful observation. E.The athletes' behaviours give strong evidence that they have had the actions naturally since birth. F.Analyzing the data，they found that the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways. G.In particular，they wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现人们对成功和失败的反应是天生的，并介绍了这一研究开展的过程以及研究发现。 1．G　解析：上文“The discovery ...how people showed feelings of pride and shame.”提到Jessica Tracy和David Matsumoto想知道人们是如何表达自豪和羞愧的，本句应承接上文进一步说明他们的想法，G选项中they指代上文中的Jessica Tracy和David Matsumoto。故G选项“他们尤其想知道这些表达方式是否是由文化决定的，是否是通过观察习得的”符合语境，故选G。 2．C　解析：上文“Its sister competition—the Paralympics—included many athletes who were born blind.”提到残奥会包括许多眼睛看不见的运动员，故本句与上文构成因果关系，表示这些人无法目睹其他人对胜利和失败的反应，C选项中they指代上文many athletes who were born blind。故C选项“因此，他们无法目睹其他人对胜利和失败的反应”符合语境，故选C。 3．F　解析：上文“Working with a professional ...arms and bodies.”提到Tracy 和Matsumoto在对比运动员的姿势，后文“The winners ...were the marks of losers.”则提到了一些获胜者和失败者的肢体动作，由此可推测他们发现有视力和失明的运动员的行为方式几乎完全相同，故F选项“通过分析数据，他们发现有视力和失明的运动员的行为方式几乎完全相同”符合语境，故选F。 4．E　解析：根据上一段中的“The winners tilted ...were the marks of losers.”以及后文“Men and women who ...the expansion or narrowing of the chest.”可知，上一段对比的结果是有视力和失明的运动员行为方式几乎完全相同，都做出了一些共有的动作，后文则提到从来没有见过别人有这种行为的男人和女人仍然做出完全相同的动作，可推测他们的行为证明了这些动作能力是天生就有的。故E选项“运动员的行为有力地证明了他们天生就具有这些动作”符合语境，故选E。 5．A　解析：根据上文“These actions were also remarkably ...fear and surprise.”可知，来自世界各地的选手动作也一致，说明骄傲和羞耻是天生的行为，A选项中They指代上文中pride and shame。故A选项“它们是天生的行为，伴随着它们自己独特的一系列行为”符合语境，故选A。 Ⅲ.语法填空 Du Fu：China's Greatest Poet，a BBC one­hour documentary，1.__________(launch) on April 6 this year.It was the first time to put Du's life in a global context.
