D The human face doesn't lie.We show sadness and happiness through our expressions.But exactly how many emotions can our face make?Scientists used to believe we had six basic facial expressions that tell others how we feel:sad,happy,surprised,fearful,angry and disgusted. But a new study shows that our faces can do more than we think.Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles(面部肌肉). The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces according to different cues( )These cues included phrases like "you just got some great unexpected news",which produced a"happily surprised"reaction from volunteers.Other cues included"you smell a bad odor(气味)”，which caused"“disgusted”faces. In total,around 5,000 pictures were taken of the volunteers.The scientists used a computer program to study these pictures.This helped them to define a facial expression."That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone,"said Dr.Aleix Martinez to The Daily Telegraph.For example,to express surprise,92 percent of volunteers widened their eyes and opened their mouth.And 99 percent raised their cheeks and smiled to show being happy. We are always unaware of our facial expressions,which can show how we really feel.So these results may have a big influence on medical treatment.If doctors were able to tell more complex emotions,it would help doctors treat patients with certain diseases. 37.How many facial expressions did scientists find out to tell others how we feel? A.6. B.21. C.230. D.5000. 38.How did scientists from Ohio State University find out the number of facial expressions? A.They studied how people move their eyes.

D.A travel guide. 第二节阅读填空（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A一E选项，选出可以填入41一45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑， What is calligraphy )It's handwriting.Any language can be written in calligraphy, but Chinese calligraphy is especially beautiful.It takes a lot of patience and practice to write Chinese calligraphy.People take lessons to leamn how to do it.41 They also leam how to make different strokes()to make Chinese characters.
