He says what shifted his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl. “I was just fed up with people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my initial intention—that opened my eyes a little wider and wider. ” Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me but my meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition,” said Waithera. Guidotti is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. He says his tour is not about money, it’s about the message: “As I travel from community to community, I’m taking photographs and I’m empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change — how you see, see how you change.” 24. Why did Rick change his career? A. He wanted to establish his own company. B. The beauty on covers of magazines are not beautiful. C. He failed to make enough money as a fashion photographer. D. His comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl. 25. What can we know about Positive Exposure? A. It brings a lot of money for Rick. B. It makes the public more beautiful. C. It welcomes diversity in the world. D. It makes photography more widely known. 26. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in paragraph 4? A. Jayne was actually a beautiful woman. B. Jayne’s picture was more beautiful than herself. C. It was unfair that nobody discovered Jayne’s beauty. D. Photographs helped Jayne develop a positive view of herself. 27. Which statement can best explain Rick’s “philosophy of change” in the last paragraph? A. Media tools spread positive concept. B. Personal aesthetic change affects others. C. Perspective change can lead to real change. D. The disadvantaged group needs systematic protection. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了时尚摄影师里克·吉多蒂因偶遇白化病女孩改变对美认知，创立非营利组织“正面曝光”，通过摄影倡导多元审美观，并拍摄纪录片《论美》传递“差异值得被赞美”的理念。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.(里克·吉多蒂放弃了时尚摄影师的职业生涯，将镜头转向了有基因、身体和行为差异的人。)”及第二段中“He says what shifted his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino girl.(他说，改变他对美的看法的是与一位白化病女孩的偶然相遇。)”可知，里克改变职业是因为偶遇白化病女孩而彻底改变对美的认知。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated.(吉多蒂创建了“正面曝光”，这是一个非营利组织，利用摄影和视频改变公众的看法，促进一个赞美差异的世界。)”可知，吉多蒂创建的“正面曝光”欢迎世界的多样性。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but my meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition(我以前从不觉得自己漂亮，因为从来没人这么说过我。但遇到他的那一刻，却成了我生命中的一个深刻转折点。我至今还记得那天：他为我拍了张照片，那一刻我感觉好极了——仿佛终于遇到了一个真正爱我、懂我本色，并且能超越我的病情，看见真正的我。)”可知，作者提及简旨在说明摄影帮助她建立了积极的自我认知。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated.(吉多蒂创建了“正面曝光”，这是一个非营利组织，利用摄影和视频改变公众的看法，促进一个赞美差异的世界。)”和最后一段中“He says his tour is not about money, it’s about the message: “As I travel from community to community, I’m taking photographs and I’m empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change — how you see, see how you change.”(他说自己的巡回活动无关金钱，核心是传递这样的理念：“我走访一个又一个社区，通过摄影为人们赋能，让他们建立积极的自我意识。他们在镜头里看到了自己的美，而我也在赋能他们的家庭，这些家庭进而又能带动整个社区。这一切都基于‘改变的哲学’——改变你的视角，然后看看你自己会发生怎样的改变。”)”可知，吉多蒂放弃自己的职业创立“正面曝光”，是希望利用摄影和录像改变公众的看法，推动一个赞美差异的世界。他奔走于社区之间，在拍照的同时赋予人们一种积极的意识，让他们认识到自己的美，而这种意识又能带动整个社区的改变。由此推知，选项C“视角改变能引发真正的改变。”能最好地解释里克的“改变的哲学”。故选C。 C People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe 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 across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We demonstrate that Easterners and 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 overlook the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery reveals that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously assumed. As a consequence, 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 eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sorrowful, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.” In short, the data indicate that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 28. According to the passage, how do Easterners usually look at faces to read expressions? A. They look at the whole face evenly. B. They pay most attention to the eyes. C. They focus equally on the eyes and the mouth. D. They move their attention between different features quickly. 29. What were the subjects asked to do in the study? A. To make their faces impressive. B. To observe the researchers’ faces. C. To classify certain facial images. D. To make their eyes move in a specific pattern. 30. What are Easterners likely to do when compared with Westerners? A. Examine the eyes more attentively. B. Perform translation more skillfully. C Focus more on the mouth frequently. D. Read facial expressions more accurately. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Eye Serving as a Window into the Soul. B. Cultural Distinctions in Interpreting Emotions. C. How to Promote Cross-cultural Understanding. D. Effective Approaches to Developing Social Skills. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了研究显示，东亚人与欧洲人解读面部表情存在差异：东亚人更关注眼睛，西方人均衡关注眼和嘴，这导致跨文化情绪沟通易出错，也说明面部表情并非通用情绪信号。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.(西方人对眼睛和嘴巴的关注程度相同，而东方人则更注重眼睛而忽略嘴巴)”可知，东方人最关注的是眼睛。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sorrowful, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.(研究人员通过记录13名西方白人和13名东亚人的眼球运动，来研究他们在识别面部表情方面的文化差异。他们让这些人观察一系列具有表情特征的面部图片，并将其归类为：快乐、悲伤、惊讶、恐惧、厌恶、愤怒或中性)”可知，在该研究中，受试者被要求对某些面部图像进行分类。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did.(结果表明，东方人更注重观察眼睛这一部位，而且出现错误的几率也明显高于西方人)”可知，与西方人相比，东方人可能会更仔细地观察眼睛。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.(东亚人相较于欧洲人，在辨别面部表情方面往往存在更大的困难。而一项发表在《当代生物学》杂志网络版上的新研究报告解释了其中的原因)”结合文章说明了研究显示，东亚人与欧洲人解读面部表情存在差异：东亚人更关注眼睛，西方人均衡关注眼和嘴，这导致跨文化情绪沟通易出错，也说明面部表情并非通用情绪信号。可知，B选项“诠释情绪方面的文化差异”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century. Now, scientists have discovered that the otters’ success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat. Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing serious damage. The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural wholeness of the habitat. Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water-cleaning systems. The conservation-driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial. California’s coastlines were once alive with sea otters. Sadly, they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders. In the 1980s, conservation efforts aided these otters in re-occupying large areas of their former range. Now, Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California, with a population of about 100. By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life. Brent Hughes, a scientist working alongside Angelini, led a three-year study. Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell remarkably. This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away. As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase. It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species — a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment — but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony. “My honest reaction was — this could become a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding. “Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.” 32. What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about? A. A remarkable increase in coastal plant life. B. A severe break in coastal ecological balance. C. A significant improvement in water-cleaning ability. D. A sharp decline in the population of predatory crabs. 33. What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Revival. B. Barrier. C. Expansion. D. Advancement. 34. What is Lekelia Jenkins’s attitude towards the role of sea otters in marsh restoration? A. Neutral. B. Critical. C. Skeptical. D. Appreciative. 35. What message is conveyed from the impact of sea otters? A. The necessity for controlled hunting. B. The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction. C. The interconnectedness of the ecosystem. D. The need for human intervention in nature. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。曾濒临灭绝的加州海獭经保护后数量回升，其捕食滨蟹使埃尔克霍恩斯劳沼泽植物再生、栖息地修复，彰显顶级捕食者对生态平衡的重要性，也体现生态系统关联性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural wholeness of the habitat.(其根本原因在于海岸螃蟹的数量不断增加，它们大量食用沼泽植物，从而破坏了栖息地的整体结构完整性)”可知，海獭的消失导致海岸生态平衡遭到严重破坏。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural wholeness of the habitat.(其根本原因在于海岸螃蟹的数量不断增加，它们大量食用沼泽植物，从而破坏了栖息地的整体结构完整性)”以及划线词上文“Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell remarkably.(他们的研究结果十分明确：在有海獭出没的区域，螃蟹的数量显著减少)”可知，海獭捕食滨蟹使蟹类数量减少，进而引发植物生长的“resurgence”，随后植物稳定了土壤。“resurgence”应与“恢复、复苏”相关，故划线词意思是“复兴”。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding. “Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.”(她还表示，湿地的恢复工作对人类也有益处，因为它能减少洪水灾害。“突然间，海獭从我们喜欢的可爱动物变成了能够保护我们的生计和财产的存在。”)”可知，莱克利娅·詹金斯对于海獭在沼泽恢复过程中所起的作用持称赞态度。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century. Now, scientists have discovered that the otters’ success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat.(加利福尼亚海獭曾经因遭到大量捕杀而濒临灭绝，但在过去的一个世纪里，它实现了惊人的复苏。如今，科学家们发现，海獭的成功故事还带来了同样令人瞩目的结果：它们所栖息的沿海沼泽栖息地得以恢复)”可知，海獭作为顶级捕食者，其数量变化影响滨蟹、植物，进而影响整个海岸生态系统，甚至人类。即，海獭的这种影响传递出了生态系统的相互关联性。故选C。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The most important element of emotional maturity is taking responsibility for your own emotions and actions.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述了情绪成熟的核心是对自己的情绪和行为负责，并介绍了在日常生活中培养情绪成熟的几种实用方法，包括犯错时承认错误、尊重自身感受与需求、不扮演受害者以及明确并设定界限等。 【36题详解】 根据前文“The most important element of emotional maturity is taking responsibility for your own emotions and actions. It means neither blaming yourself for what you cannot control nor losing emotional balance. (情绪成熟最重要的要素是对自己的情绪和行为负责。这意味着既不因为无法控制的事情责怪自己，也不失去情绪平衡。)”可知，前文重点强调“对可控之事负责，不对不可控之事自责”，空处应承接上文，进一步明确责任的边界。E选项“Assume responsibility only for what lies within your control. (只对自己能控制的事情承担责任)符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 本段小标题为“Admit mistakes when you are wrong. (犯错时承认错误)”，前文提到“Emotionally mature people do not blame others for their own mistakes. They are responsible for their actions,  learn from mistakes, and accept feedback objectively. (情绪成熟的人不会把自己的错误归咎于他人。他们对自己的行为负责，从错误中吸取教训，客观地接受反馈)”，说明情绪成熟者面对错误时的态度是负责而非推诿。空处应延续这一态度，说明其后续反应。C选项“Hence, they do not respond by attacking back. (因此，他们不会以反击作为回应。)”符合语境。故选C项。 【38题详解】 此处需为段落小标题，需概括本段核心内容且格式与其他小标题一致（祈使句）。根据后文“Emotionally mature people understand their emotional needs. It is important to take care of others’ feelings but it does not mean they should totally abandon their own feelings. The key is to stay balanced and to attend to own emotional needs when it is necessary. If a person does not respect his own feelings, it is easy for him to be influenced by others and become miserable. (情绪成熟的人了解自己的情感需求。关心他人的感受固然重要，但这并不意味着他们应该完全忽视自己的感受。关键在于保持平衡，并在必要时关注自身的情感需求。如果一个人不尊重自己的感受，就很容易受到他人的影响，进而陷入痛苦之中)”可知，本段核心是“关注并尊重自身的情感需求，而非完全忽略自我”。B选项“Respect your own feelings and needs. (尊重自己的感受和需求。)”为祈使句，精准概括了本段主题，适合作小标题。故选B项。 【39题详解】 本段小标题为“Don’t play victim. (不要扮演受害者)”以及后文提到“Whenever they get setbacks in life, they view it as their own responsibility to improve themselves. (无论何时在生活中遇到挫折，他们都认为提升自己是自己的责任。)”可知，进一步说明情绪成熟的人对自身生活的责任意识。G选项“Emotionally mature people take full responsibility for their own lives. (情绪成熟的人对自己的生活负完全责任。)”直接呼应小标题“不扮演受害者”，且为后文“视挫折为自我提升的责任”提供了观点支撑，符合语境。故选G项。 【40题详解】 本段围绕“Define and set boundaries. (明确并设定边界)”展开，前文提到“Emotionally mature people understand their standpoint. They know what they want in life and they also made a conscious decision on the things that they do not want. When things beyond their boundaries happen, they can detect it right away, deal with it accordingly and won’t let it destroy their self-esteem.. (情绪成熟的人清楚自己的立场。他们知道自己在生活中想要什么，也会清醒地决定自己不想要什么。当发生超出自身边界的事情时，他们能立刻察觉，并采取相应的方式处理，不会让这些事损害自己的自尊。)”可知，空处应总结“设定边界”带来的积极作用。D选项“This gives them huge power over emotional control. (这赋予他们强大的情绪控制能力。)”中的“This”指代前文“明确立场、设定并处理边界”的行为，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When my ten-year-old son Luke joined a local football team, I never expected to witness such a profound life lesson on the field.

We dashed downstairs and had a quick breakfast. I was eating my favorite — very sweet cereal, and Sara was having eggs. When I rose to have my bowl washed, Mom whispered, “You know you need to be cautious today when you’re walking Sara to school. It’s your job to assure me she gets there all right.” Then she cast me a very serious look. I thought to myself, wondering why Mom was making such a big deal out of this. I was Sara’s first day of kindergarten, but I could manage it. It wish Mom wouldn’t treat me like such a baby. “Goodbye, Mom!” Sara yelled. She ran out the door, and I went behind her. “Be careful!” my mom yelled. “I will!” I said back and ran outside. Sara was skipping down the front walkway to the sidewalk. I grabbed Sara’s hand. “Are you eager and excited for your first day of school?” I asked, trying to sound like a grown-up. Sara smiled and nodded her head yes. Meanwhile, my mom was staring at us through the window. “When will she stop treating me like a little kid?” I thought. “I’ll show you the way.” I said, I felt proud to be the elder sister. We walked past beautiful gardens and big, leafy trees. Suddenly, I heard a growl and saw a dog walking towards us. He was big and fierce looking with long sharp teeth. “GRRR!!!” the dog growled. I didn’t see its owner or anyone who could help us. My hand became sweaty and Sara stopped walking. “I’m scared, Julie,” she said. I didn’t want her to be scared. I wanted to seem brave. “Everything will be okay,” I said. “GRRR!!!” The dog stepped closer and we could see it was the size of a small horse — with red eyes and sharp teeth. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was trying to make my voice sound calm. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I told Mom what had happened. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version I was trying to make my voice sound calm. Planting my feet resolutely on the ground, I said to Sara: “Don’t be afraid!” while holding her hand tight. The dog edged closer with the menacing “GRRR!”. “Run!” I exclaimed, we sprinting to the kindergarten. Just as the dog was overtaking us, we threw ourselves inside. It was really close! We exchanged a happy smile. Seeing Sara stepping into the classroom, I turned for home, wanting desperately to narrate the thrilling episode to Mom. I told mom what had happened. There followed no response. Then I saw Mom’s tears. “I am so proud of you! You did what you had promised!” Mom said, holding me in a tight embrace, after which Mom looked into my eyes. She gave me some advice on tackling fierce dogs: “Next time you are cornered by such a dog, pretend to pick up a stone. It will be frightened away.” My mom’s words of praise and advice were deeply engraved in my heart. And I promised to be a better guardian of Sara. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者答应妈妈把妹妹安全送到幼儿园，作者和妹妹Sara吃完早饭以后，送妹妹去上幼儿园，这是妹妹Sara第一天去上学，很兴奋地走在前面，这时候出来一只大狗，没有主人在身边，Sara很害怕，作者看似勇敢地告诉妹妹，一切都会没事的，那只大狗呲着牙离作者和Sara更近了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我试图让自己的声音听起来平静。”可知，第一段可描写作者是如何帮助Sara的，结合第二段的提示语可知，该段应描述到作者成功的保护了Sara，把妹妹送进了幼儿园。 ②由第二段首句内容“我把发生的事情告诉妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写作者将事情告诉妈妈后，妈妈的反应如何，以及对作者处理这种危险情况做出什么样的评价。 2.续写线索：保持冷静——一起冲进幼儿园——告诉妈妈发生的事情——妈妈表扬作者——提供相应的建议——作者的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：hold/seize/grab ②讲述：narrate/tell about ③处理：tackle/address/deal with/cope with 情绪类 ①害怕的：afraid/terrified/scared/frightened ②自豪：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what shifted his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl. “I was just fed up with people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don’t see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that was my initial intention—that opened my eyes a little wider and wider. ” Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but my meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there’s somebody who really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition,” said Waithera. Guidotti is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. He says his tour is not about money, it’s about the message: “As I travel from community to community, I’m taking photographs and I’m empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They’re seeing beauty in their reflection but I’m also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change — how you see, see how you change.” 24. Why did Rick change his career? A. He wanted to establish his own company. B. The beauty on covers of magazines are not beautiful. C. He failed to make enough money as a fashion photographer. D. His comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl. 25. What can we know about Positive Exposure? A. It brings a lot of money for Rick. B. It makes the public more beautiful. C. It welcomes diversity in the world. D. It makes photography more widely known. 26. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in paragraph 4? A. Jayne was actually a beautiful woman. B. Jayne’s picture was more beautiful than herself. C. It was unfair that nobody discovered Jayne’s beauty. D. Photographs helped Jayne develop a positive view of herself. 27. Which statement can best explain Rick’s “philosophy of change” in the last paragraph? A. Media tools spread positive concept. B. Personal aesthetic change affects others. C. Perspective change can lead to real change. D. The disadvantaged group needs systematic protection. C People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe 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 across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We demonstrate that Easterners and 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 overlook the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery reveals that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously assumed. As a consequence, 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 eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sorrowful, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.” In short, the data indicate that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 28. According to the passage, how do Easterners usually look at faces to read expressions? A. They look at the whole face evenly. B. They pay most attention to the eyes. C. They focus equally on the eyes and the mouth. D. They move their attention between different features quickly. 29. What were the subjects asked to do in the study? A. To make their faces impressive. B. To observe the researchers’ faces. C. To classify certain facial images. D. To make their eyes move in a specific pattern. 30. What are Easterners likely to do when compared with Westerners? A. Examine the eyes more attentively. B. Perform translation more skillfully. C. Focus more on the mouth frequently. D. Read facial expressions more accurately. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Eye Serving as a Window into the Soul. B. Cultural Distinctions in Interpreting Emotions. C. How to Promote Cross-cultural Understanding. D. Effective Approaches to Developing Social Skills. D The California sea otter (海獭), once hunted to the edge of extinction, has staged a thrilling comeback in the last century. Now, scientists have discovered that the otters’ success story has led to something just as remarkable: the restoration of their declining coastal marsh (沼泽) habitat. Elkhorn Slough, a coastal marsh within Monterey Bay, had been experiencing serious damage. The root cause was a growing population of shore crabs, which fed heavily on the marsh plants, weakening the structural wholeness of the habitat. Coastal marshes like these are not only natural defenses against storm waves but also serve as important carbon storage areas and water-cleaning systems. The conservation-driven comeback of the sea otter has been crucial. California’s coastlines were once alive with sea otters. Sadly, they were nearly wiped out at the hands of fur traders. In the 1980s, conservation efforts aided these otters in re-occupying large areas of their former range. Now, Elkhorn Slough has the highest concentration of sea otters in California, with a population of about 100. By naturally feasting on crabs, the otters have helped a significant regrowth of plant life. Brent Hughes, a scientist working alongside Angelini, led a three-year study. Their findings were clear: in areas with sea otters, crab numbers fell remarkably. This led to a resurgence in plant growth, which in turn stabilized the soil and lowered the rate of soil washing away. As the sea otter population continues to restore, their positive impact on coastal ecosystems is likely to increase. It not only showcases the sea otter as a central species — a species that has a significant effect on its natural environment — but also highlights the essential nature of top predators (捕食者) in preserving ecological harmony. “My honest reaction was — this could become a classic in the literature,” says scientist Lekelia Jenkins. She reveals marsh restoration also helps people by reducing flooding. “Suddenly, sea otters go from just cute things we like to something that can protect our livelihoods and our properties.” 32. What change did the disappearance of sea otters bring about? A. A remarkable increase in coastal plant life. B. A severe break in coastal ecological balance. C. A significant improvement in water-cleaning ability. D. A sharp decline in the population of predatory crabs. 33. What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Revival. B. Barrier. C. Expansion. D. Advancement. 34. What is Lekelia Jenkins’s attitude towards the role of sea otters in marsh restoration? A. Neutral. B. Critical. C. Skeptical. D. Appreciative. 35. What message is conveyed from the impact of sea otters? A. The necessity for controlled hunting. B. The drawbacks of wildlife reintroduction. C. The interconnectedness of the ecosystem. D. The need for human intervention in nature. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The most important element of emotional maturity is taking responsibility for your own emotions and actions.

We dashed downstairs and had a quick breakfast. I was eating my favorite — very sweet cereal, and Sara was having eggs. When I rose to have my bowl washed, Mom whispered, “You know you need to be cautious today when you’re walking Sara to school. It’s your job to assure me she gets there all right.” Then she cast me a very serious look. I thought to myself, wondering why Mom was making such a big deal out of this. I was Sara’s first day of kindergarten, but I could manage it. It wish Mom wouldn’t treat me like such a baby. “Goodbye, Mom!” Sara yelled. She ran out the door, and I went behind her. “Be careful!” my mom yelled. “I will!” I said back and ran outside Sara was skipping down the front walkway to the sidewalk. I grabbed Sara’s hand. “Are you eager and excited for your first day of school?” I asked, trying to sound like a grown-up. Sara smiled and nodded her head yes. Meanwhile, my mom was staring at us through the window. “When will she stop treating me like a little kid?” I thought. “I’ll show you the way.” I said, I felt proud to be the elder sister. We walked past beautiful gardens and big, leafy trees. Suddenly, I heard a growl and saw a dog walking towards us. He was big and fierce looking with long sharp teeth. “GRRR!!!” the dog growled. I didn’t see its owner or anyone who could help us. My hand became sweaty and Sara stopped walking. “I’m scared, Julie,” she said. I didn’t want her to be scared. I wanted to seem brave. “Everything will be okay,” I said. “GRRR!!!” The dog stepped closer and we could see it was the size of a small horse — with red eyes and sharp teeth. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was trying to make my voice sound calm. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I told Mom what had happened. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
