It’s worth ________ second time. A．a; / B．the; the C．a; the D．a; a 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——你觉得电影《万里归途》怎么样？——嗯，我从未见过更感人的电影。值得再看一遍。 考查冠词。a不定冠词，表泛指，放在辅音音素开头的单词前面；/零冠词；the定冠词，表特指。第一个空格后面的词语是more moving one，表示泛指，more是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词a修饰； 第二个空后面的词语是second time，应用不定冠词a，表示“又一次，再一次”。故选D。 2．The music ________ is liked by people all over the world. A．with a strong local color B．with strong local color C．has a strong local color D．has strong local color 【答案】B 【详解】句意：这种音乐因其强烈的地方色彩而受到全世界人们的喜爱。 考查介词短语。with strong local color是介词短语作定语，修饰主语The music，表示“带有浓厚地方特色的”；这里的color也是指色彩这一抽象概念，因此是不可数名词，不用a修饰。故选B。 3．— How are you today ? — I’m feeling even ________ . I don’t think the medicine works . A．better B．worse C．happier D．unhappier 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——今天你怎么样？——我感觉更糟了。我认为这药不起作用。 考查形容词的比较级辨析。better 更好的；worse 更糟糕的；happier更高兴的；unhappier更不高兴的。根据“I’m feeling even...I don’t think the medicine works .”可知此空指觉得更糟糕。故选B。 4．Danny’s father moved to China _______. Two years later, he _________ Danny’s mother. A．in his thirty; married to B．in his thirty’s; married C．in his thirtieth; married to D．in his thirties; married 【答案】D 【详解】句意：丹尼的父亲在三十多岁时搬到中国。两年后，他娶了丹尼的母亲。 考查年龄段的表达和及物动词用法。“在某人几岁时”应表达为“in one’s+数字基数词复数”；marry是及物动词，表示“与某人结婚”时，后面通常直接跟宾语。故选D。 5．They were playing soccer on the playground ________ the storm came. A．as soon as B．as long as C．when D．while 【答案】C 【详解】句意：暴风雨来临时，他们正在操场上踢足球。 考查时间状语从句。as soon as一……就……；as long as只要；when当……时，表示主句的动作和从句的动作同时或先后发生，when引导的从句谓语动词是短暂性或延续性动词；while与……同时，表示两个动作同时进行，while引导的从句，谓语动词是延续性动词。根据题干从句 “ the storm came.”可知谓语动词是短暂性动词，结合句意，所以用when。故选C。 6．—Oh, so many people are standing outside the hall.________ will the film start? —________seven o’clock. A．How soon; Not until B．How long; Not until C．How soon; Until D．How long; Until 【答案】A 【详解】句意：——哦，很多人都站在大厅。电影还要多久开始？——直到7点钟才开始。 考查特殊疑问句及答语。how soon多久，常用在一般将来时态的句子中；how long多长，提问“for+一段时间”，句中动词要用延续性；根据语境可知，第一句中用的是将来时，表达动作还有多久，所以用how soon提问；而本题中的动词是start，是短暂性动词，所以应该用not until，如果是延续性动词则用until，故选A。 7．At last, the girl was made _________ to music and began to do her homework. A．stop listening B．to stop to listen C．to stop listening D．stop to listen 【答案】C 【详解】句意：最后，这个女孩被要求停止听音乐，开始做她的家庭作业。be made to do sth被让做某事，stop to do sth停下来去做另外一件事；stop doing sth停止正在做的事情。根据空前was made可知，句子是被动语态，make用于被动语态时，其用法是be made to do sth，故排除选项A和D，根据空后“to music and began to do her homework”可知，是停止听音乐，然后去做另外一件事，所以用stop doing sth to do sth。故选C。 8．It is well known that Suzhou is famous ________ its silk and Qi Baishi was known ________ an artist in the world. A．as; for B．as; as C．for; as               D．for; for 【答案】C 【详解】句意：众所周知，苏州因它的丝绸而闻名于世，齐白石作为一名画家而出名。 考查介词辨析。as作为；for因为。be famous for因……而闻名；be famous as作为……而出名。根据“its silk”可知是因丝绸而闻名，用介词for；根据“an artist”可知是作为画家而出名，应用as。故选C。 9．Time waits for no man. But some people won’t realize the ________ of time until it’s gone. A．result B．knowledge C．reason D．value 【答案】D 【详解】句意：时间不等人。但是有些人直到时间流逝才意识到时间的价值。 考查名词辨析。result结果；knowledge知识；reason原因；value价值。根据“Time waits for no man. But some people won’t realize the…of time until it’s gone.”可知，此处表示有的人直到时间流逝才意识到时间的价值。故选D。 10．—Your spoken English is all very good. How do you improve it? —Thanks. Mrs. Wang always asks us to ________ conversations in English classes. A．give up B．set up C．make up D．look up 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——你们的口语都很好。你们是如何提高的？——谢谢。王老师总是在英语课上让我们用英语对话。 考查动词短语。give up放弃；set up建立；make up编造；look up查找。根据“Your spoken English all very good”和“conversations in English classes”可知，口语好是因为在英语课上总是用英语编对话而练就的。故选C。 11．—How cool! The cars can drive by themselves.   —It’s reported that they by computers inside. A．controlled B．will be controlled C．are controlled D．are controlling 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——太酷了！汽车可以自动驾驶。——据报道，它们是由内部的电脑控制的。 考查被动语态。controlled控制，一般过去时；will be controlled将被控制，一般将来时的被动语态；are controlled被控制，一般现在时的被动语态；are controlling正在控制，现在进行时。主语“they”指的是汽车，与动词“control”存在被动关系，且时态为一般现在时，故此处要用一般现在时的被动语态。故选C。 12．Mr. Lee will ________ the awards ________ the top three athletes at the sports meeting. A．present, with B．present, to C．be present, with D．be presented , to 【答案】B 【详解】句意：李先生将在运动会上为前三名运动员颁奖。 考查一般将来时和动词短语。“Mr. Lee”是动作的执行者，该句为主动语态，助动词will后跟动词原形，故第一空填“present”；present sth. to sb.“向某人赠送某物”，动词短语，故第二空填to。故选B。 13．— I am wondering ________. — Whatever the result is, don’t be too hard on yourself. A．that I can pass the test B．when I have prepared for the test C．whether I can get a high mark in the test D．if I am ready for the test these days or not 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——我想知道我是否能在考试中取得高分。——无论结果如何，都不要对自己太苛刻。 考查宾语从句。that I can pass the test我能通过考试； when I have prepared for the test我什么时候准备好考试；whether I can get a high mark in the test我是否能在考试中取得高分；if I am ready for the test these days or not我这几天是否准备好了考试。根据“wondering”可知，空后应用if或whether引导宾语从句；根据“Whatever the result is, don’t be too hard on yourself.”可知，此处应表示“我想知道我是否能在考试中取得高分”，所以应用whether引导宾语从句。故选C。 14．—Your father hardly has any free time for you, ________? —________. He is busy with his research all the time. A．hasn’t he; No, he hasn’t B．has he; Yes, he has C．doesn’t he; Yes, he does D．does he; No, he doesn’t 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——你爸爸几乎没有空闲时间陪你，是吗？——是的，他没有。他一直在忙他的研究。 考查反意疑问句。第一句中has是实义动词，因此反意疑问句需加助动词does，排除A和B；前面句中有“hardly”译为“几乎没有”，表示否定含义，因此后面的反意疑问句应用肯定形式，并且根据“He is busy with his research all the time.”可知是没有时间，为否定回答。故选D。 15．—Let me carry that for you. It looks very heavy.   —________. I’m quite out of breath. A．No, thanks B．That’s very kind of you C．Yes, of course D．I think I can manage it myself 【答案】B 【详解】句意：——让我来帮你拿。它看起来很重。——你真是太好了。我上气不接下气。 考查情景交际。No, thanks不用了，谢谢；That’s very kind of you你真是太好了；Yes, of course是，当然了；I think I can manage it myself我想我自己能行。根据“Let me carry that for you. It looks very heavy.”和“I’m quite out of breath.”可知，答话人应该是接受了说话人的帮助，对说话人的行为表示感激。故选B。 二、完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，计15分） 阅读下面短文，从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 In the early 1900s, people in England often traveled by steam train (蒸汽火车).

He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself was even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked.“Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.” 34．What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties? A．Find out ways to solve them. B．Show fear and give up. C．Ask others for help. D．Hand in the problems to others. 35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．There was nothing but a picture in the lead box. B．The servants stopped Bassanio choosing the lead box. C．Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia.

B．Many hands make light work. C．Don’t judge a book by its cover. D．It never rains but pours. 37．What may be the best title of the passage? A．Bassanio and the lead box B．Portia and her picture C．The things in the boxes D．Tricks by appearances 【答案】34．B 35．D 36．C 37．A 【导语】本文改编自《威尼斯商人》中的一段，主要介绍了Bassanio选择盒子，他选择了铅盒子而不是金盒子和银盒子，事实证明他选对了，他可以和Portia结婚。 34． 推理判断题。根据“Many people who seem brave are really cowards.”和“He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter.”可以推出“cowards”表示“懦夫”，所以面对困难时会表现出恐惧和想放弃。故选B。 35．细节理解题。根据“Bassanio could not believe it. ‘Is it really true?’ he asked. ‘Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.’”可知，Bassanio读完盒子里的字迹后激动得不敢相信自己。故选D。 36．推理判断题。根据“‘The world is tricked by appearances,’”以及下文可知，通过Bassanio的选择，我们可以学到遇到事情时，不要被表象所欺骗。故选C。 37． 最佳标题题。根据“Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver.”以及下文的介绍可知，Bassanio选择正确的铅盒子，他可以和Portia结婚。选项A“Bassanio和铅盒”符合语境。故选A。 C Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize (认出) certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition,the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often. This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become”,Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert. Earlier studies have shown that gender (性别) and race (种族) stereotypes (刻板印象) can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for. 38．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors. B．There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name. C．People can guess others’ names according to their appearance. D．It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names. 39．Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________. A．their different cultures B．a self-fulfilling prophecy C．racial stereotypes D．their living environment 40．According to the passage, girls named Cherry are expected to ________. A．wear glasses B．have big eyes C．look cute and lovely D．have round faces 41．What do we know from this research? A．Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance. B．Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance. C．The volunteers were able to guess 40% of the names correctly. D．People are good at recognizing the different characteristics of faces. 【答案】38．C 39．B 40．C 41．C 【导语】本文讲述人们可以根据外表猜测出别人的名字，一个人的外表会受名字的影响。 38．主旨大意题。根据”Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look”可知，这篇文章告诉我们人们可以通过外表猜测别人的名字。故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据”This kind of face-name matching happens ‘because of s process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become’.”可知，他认为是因为自我实现的预言。故选B。 40． 细节理解题。根据”They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.”可推知，被叫Cherry的女孩通常期望她们看起来娇小可爱。故选C。 41． 细节理解题。根据”The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten”可知，每10个名字中，志愿者们猜对了近4个，所以有40%的正确率。故选C。 D Children do not laugh for joy. Scientific studies, including my own, show that there is something much deeper than joy in a child’s laughter. I find that it is closely connected to brain and personality development: children laugh for very different reasons at different stages of development. Laughter begins soon after birth. Babies learn to laugh because they want to copy their parents’ expressions, and to receive attention and praise from them. This is the way babies learn everything at first: through copying and receiving attention and praise of adults around them. But as they grow, they learn to tell their own person from their parents and the world around them. Once they begin to behave on their own—from age 2 to 5—they begin to feel something new for the first time: certain things may seem cold, strange, or out of place, and this shocks, confuses and amazes them. This is where laughter comes in: after a moment of hesitation, they understand that what seemed frightening or unexpected is actually harmless. For instance, a child laughs when they see their father with a funny clown nose. Why? Because for a second they felt awkward: that nose is not a “live” nose. When they understand it was just dad’s joke, they calm down and laugh. They may also laugh when their older brother makes a silly face, and the process is the same. From age 5 or 6 and up, children learn to handle abstract (抽象的) ideas, meaning they can grasp and “get” jokes. Before that, they are at the earlier stage of being self-centered, which hinders their understanding of others’ reasoning. But once they overcome it, their laughter process is the same as that of adults. These three stages of laughter development are good indicators of child’s mental growth and development. 42．Why do babies laugh soon after birth? A．They are expressing their happiness. B．They are showing their personality. C．They are learning their parents’ behavior. D．They are giving praise to their parents. 43．What’s the babies’ mental process of laughing from age 2 to 5? A．They feel amazed, understand and laugh. B．They feel harmless, hesitate and laugh. C．They hesitate, feel frightened and laugh. D．They understand, feel shocked and laugh. 44．Why does the author mention the father and the brother in paragraph 4? A．To give examples. B．To provide methods. C．To make comparisons. D．To offer suggestions. 45．What does the underlined word “hinders” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Forms. B．Deepens. C．Explores. D．Prevents. 【答案】42．C 43．A 44．A 45．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了儿童笑声背后的深层原因及其与大脑和人格发展的关系，分析了不同年龄段儿童发笑的三个阶段及其心理机制。 42．细节理解题。根据“Babies learn to laugh because they want to copy their parents’ expressions, and to receive attention and praise from them.”可知，婴儿出生后不久的笑是模仿父母行为的表现。故选C。 43．细节理解题。根据“Once they begin to behave on their own—from age 2 to 5—they begin to feel something new for the first time: certain things may seem cold, strange, or out of place, and this shocks, confuses and amazes them. This is where laughter comes in: after a moment of hesitation, they understand that what seemed frightening or unexpected is actually harmless.”可知，2-5岁儿童的笑是从感到惊讶到理解再到发笑的过程。故选A。 44．推理判断题。根据“For instance, a child laughs when they see their father with a funny clown nose… They may also laugh when their older brother makes a silly face”可知，作者通过父亲和哥哥的例子具体说明儿童发笑的机制。故选A。 45．词句猜测题。根据“Before that, they are at the earlier stage of being self-centered”和“But once they overcome it, their laughter process is the same as that of adults.”可知，他们处于以自我为中心的早期阶段，这阻碍他们对他人推理的理解。“hinders”意为“阻碍”，与选项D意思相近。故选D。 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 46． Park is far away from here.

(参观) 【答案】visiting 【详解】句意：扬州大运河非常值得一游，因为我们可以领略到丰富的文化。根据汉语提示可知，此处填动词visit“参观，拜访”；根据be worth sth doing sth.“值得(做)某事”可知，worth后可接动名词或名词，visit的动名词visiting。故填visiting。 48．Your illness is very (常见的). Nothing serious, just drink more water. 【答案】common 【详解】句意：你的病很常见。没什么严重的，多喝点水。根据所给汉语意思可知，空缺处用形容词common“常见的”作表语。故填common。 49．The Olympic (精神) is that the most important thing is not to win, but to take part. 【答案】spirit 【详解】句意：奥运精神指的是在比赛中最重要的事情不是取得胜利，而是参与。根据汉语提示可知，spirit“精神”，不可数名词。故填spirit。 50．When people saw the beauty of Yangzhou, they couldn’t believe their eyes.

He didn’t say a word today.

(record) 【答案】recorded 【详解】句意：这些歌是广播公司三年前录制的。be recorded by“被……录制”，故填recorded。 55．—Cindy, can I have a look at your notebook? It looks special. —Sorry. I usually write down something in it. (person) 【答案】personal 【详解】句意：——辛迪，我能看看你的笔记本吗？它看起来很特别。——抱歉。我通常在里面写一些私人的东西。根据“I usualy write down something...in it”可知，笔记本里面写了一些私人的东西，此处应用形容词personal“私人的”，形容词修饰不定代词应放在不定代词的后面。故填personal。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（不超过8个词） Saturday was the day of Becky’s picnic. Becky’s mother prepared the picnic food. No adults went with the children, just some young teachers. They all met at Judge Thatcher’s house and then they went on the ferry together. They played games at the wooded place where the ferry stopped. Then there was the picnic meal, and finally a visit to some nearby caves. It was quite late when they started back towards the town. Huck was already on duty watching the tavern. He heard the door closing softly. Two men walked past him, and one had something under his arm. It must be the box! It was too late to call Tom now, so Huck decided to follow them. They went up Cardiff Hill and down the other side into the dark trees. Then they stopped. Huck heard Indian Joe’s voice just in front of him. ‘Widow Douglas has got guests — there are lights on!’ ‘Let’s go back,’ said the other man. ‘Go back? I’m going to leave this country forever and this is my last chance to get my revenge (报仇) on her. I’m not interested in her money — you can have it. But her husband jailed me many times for being homeless and whipped me in front of the whole town. He’s dead, but I’ll take revenge on her!’ ‘Let’s start now!’ “No, we must wait until the guests have gone and the lights are out.” Huck listened in horror. Then he walked backwards very carefully until he was a good distance from the two men. Then he ran down the hill until he reached the Welshman’s house. He banged (猛敲) on the door. The old man put his head out of the window. “What’s all that noise? What do you want?” ‘Let me in — quickly! I’ll tell you everything!’ The door opened and Huck told his story. Three minutes later the old man and his sons were up the hill walking quietly. After a silence there was a sudden explosion of guns and a cry. Huck ran back down the hill as fast as he could. —Taken from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 56．What did Becky’s mother prepare for Becky’s picnic? 57．How did Huckleberry help save Widow Douglas from being hurt? 58．Why did Indian Joe want to kill Widow Douglas? 59．If you were Huck, what would you do in that situation? 60．What do you think of Huck?

The following pictures will show you what they need to survive. Plants use light to make their own food. If you leave a plant near a window, it will bend (弯曲) and grow towards the light. It tries to get as much sunshine as possible. Plants need water to survive and stay strong. When a plant does not get enough water, its stem will become soft and hung down, and also its leaves will be weak and dry. Plants will grow best when the temperature is just right for them. Some plants like hot weather, while others prefer cooler conditions. All plants need air. They use the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from air to make food, and they use oxygen from air to give off energy from food. 31．Which of the following environments is suitable for plants to grow? A．A planet without any water. B．A room in complete darkness. C．A box free of carbon dioxide. D．A farm with proper temperature. 32．What do plants use air for? A．To get food from the soil. B．To save energy from food. C．To control their temperature. D．To produce the food they need. 33．Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from? A．Honest History. B．Adventure Stories. C．Science World D．Geographic Explorers. B Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver. “The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad?” Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. “No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.” Bassanio said to himself. One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the eyes. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself was even more beautiful than her picture. The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true?” he asked.“Will you really be my wife? I am afraid to believe it until you say so.” 34．What may “cowards” do when they face the difficulties? A．Find out ways to solve them. B．Show fear and give up. C．Ask others for help. D．Hand in the problems to others. 35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．There was nothing but a picture in the lead box. B．The servants stopped Bassanio choosing the lead box. C．Bassanio thought the picture was more beautiful than Portia. D．Bassanio was too excited to believe himself after reading the writing. 36．What lesson can we learn from Bassanio’s choice of the lead box? A．The grass is greener on the other side. B．Many hands make light work. C．Don’t judge a book by its cover. D．It never rains but pours. 37．What may be the best title of the passage? A．Bassanio and the lead box B．Portia and her picture C．The things in the boxes D．Tricks by appearances C Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their names!” What does this mean exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize (认出) certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition,the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames more often than their real names. This shows that a person’s appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often. This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become”,Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert. Earlier studies have shown that gender (性别) and race (种族) stereotypes (刻板印象) can influence a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for. 38．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．A person’s appearance can be influenced by three factors. B．There are several ways to guess a stranger’s name. C．People can guess others’ names according to their appearance. D．It’s not polite to ask strangers about their names. 39．Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of ________. A．their different cultures B．a self-fulfilling prophecy C．racial stereotypes D．their living environment 40．According to the passage, girls named Cherry are expected to ________. A．wear glasses B．have big eyes C．look cute and lovely D．have round faces 41．What do we know from this research? A．Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearance. B．Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance. C．The volunteers were able to guess 40% of the names correctly. D．People are good at recognizing the different characteristics of faces. D Children do not laugh for joy. Scientific studies, including my own, show that there is something much deeper than joy in a child’s laughter. I find that it is closely connected to brain and personality development: children laugh for very different reasons at different stages of development. Laughter begins soon after birth. Babies learn to laugh because they want to copy their parents’ expressions, and to receive attention and praise from them. This is the way babies learn everything at first: through copying and receiving attention and praise of adults around them. But as they grow, they learn to tell their own person from their parents and the world around them. Once they begin to behave on their own—from age 2 to 5—they begin to feel something new for the first time: certain things may seem cold, strange, or out of place, and this shocks, confuses and amazes them. This is where laughter comes in: after a moment of hesitation, they understand that what seemed frightening or unexpected is actually harmless. For instance, a child laughs when they see their father with a funny clown nose. Why? Because for a second they felt awkward: that nose is not a “live” nose. When they understand it was just dad’s joke, they calm down and laugh. They may also laugh when their older brother makes a silly face, and the process is the same. From age 5 or 6 and up, children learn to handle abstract (抽象的) ideas, meaning they can grasp and “get” jokes. Before that, they are at the earlier stage of being self-centered, which hinders their understanding of others’ reasoning. But once they overcome it, their laughter process is the same as that of adults. These three stages of laughter development are good indicators of child’s mental growth and development. 42．Why do babies laugh soon after birth? A．They are expressing their happiness. B．They are showing their personality. C．They are learning their parents’ behavior. D．They are giving praise to their parents. 43．What’s the babies’ mental process of laughing from age 2 to 5? A．They feel amazed, understand and laugh. B．They feel harmless, hesitate and laugh. C．They hesitate, feel frightened and laugh.

D．To offer suggestions. 45．What does the underlined word “hinders” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Forms. B．Deepens. C．Explores.

No adults went with the children, just some young teachers. They all met at Judge Thatcher’s house and then they went on the ferry together. They played games at the wooded place where the ferry stopped. Then there was the picnic meal, and finally a visit to some nearby caves. It was quite late when they started back towards the town. Huck was already on duty watching the tavern. He heard the door closing softly. Two men walked past him, and one had something under his arm. It must be the box! It was too late to call Tom now, so Huck decided to follow them. They went up Cardiff Hill and down the other side into the dark trees. Then they stopped. Huck heard Indian Joe’s voice just in front of him. ‘Widow Douglas has got guests — there are lights on!’ ‘Let’s go back,’ said the other man. ‘Go back? I’m going to leave this country forever and this is my last chance to get my revenge (报仇) on her. I’m not interested in her money — you can have it. But her husband jailed me many times for being homeless and whipped me in front of the whole town. He’s dead, but I’ll take revenge on her!’ ‘Let’s start now!’ “No, we must wait until the guests have gone and the lights are out.” Huck listened in horror. Then he walked backwards very carefully until he was a good distance from the two men. Then he ran down the hill until he reached the Welshman’s house. He banged (猛敲) on the door. The old man put his head out of the window. “What’s all that noise? What do you want?” ‘Let me in — quickly! I’ll tell you everything!’ The door opened and Huck told his story. Three minutes later the old man and his sons were up the hill walking quietly. After a silence there was a sudden explosion of guns and a cry. Huck ran back down the hill as fast as he could. —Taken from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 56．What did Becky’s mother prepare for Becky’s picnic? 57．How did Huckleberry help save Widow Douglas from being hurt? 58．Why did Indian Joe want to kill Widow Douglas? 59．If you were Huck, what would you do in that situation? 60．What do you think of Huck?
