He is particularly famous for his work on rabies vaccine (狂犬病疫苗). The rabies virus enters the body through the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva (唾液) entering an existing wound. After experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, Pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body. By studying the tissue of infected animals — rabbits, Pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus. This could be used for inoculation (接种). On July 6, 1885, Pasteur tested his vaccine on a man for the first time. He saved the life of a young man called Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. Pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method. The treatment lasted 10 days and in the end Joseph recovered and remained healthy. Since then thousands have been saved by this treatment. On March 1886, Pasteur was invited to present his results to the Academy of Sciences and in 1888 went on to found the Pasteur Institute in Paris. This was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases, the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching. Pasteur directed the institute personally until he died. The Pasteur Institute is still one of the most important centres in the world. Pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways. He died at Saint-Cloud on September 28, 1895 and was given a state funeral at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Modifications of the Pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. A newer vaccine which contains the virus prepared from human cells grown in the lab is safer and requires a shorter course of injections. 4. Rabies probably can destroy a person’s ________. A. nervous system B. blood C. skin D. saliva 5. What can we learn about Pasteur’s test of his vaccine on the man? A. It didn’t save the man’s life. B. The man was his second patient. C. It proved to be a great success. D. The man was sent to a clinic ten days later. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Pasteur’s rabies vaccine is out of date. B. A new rabies vaccine has already been tested on patients. C. Injections of vaccine still take much time. D. Much improvement has been made on rabies vaccine. 7. What’s the text mainly about? A. The treatment for rabies. B. The introduction to rabies vaccine. C. An analysis of the cause of rabies. D. Pasteur’s devotion to rabies vaccine. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了路易·巴斯德发明狂犬病疫苗的过程及其影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“After experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, Pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body.(经过对患病动物唾液的实验，巴斯德得出结论，这种疾病存在于身体的中枢神经系统中)”可知，狂犬病可能会破坏人的神经系统。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“He saved the life of a young man called Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog.(他救了一位名叫约瑟夫·梅斯特的年轻人，这位年轻人被一只狂犬咬伤)”和“The treatment lasted 10 days and in the end he recovered and remained healthy. Since then thousands have been saved by this treatment.(治疗持续了10天，最终他康复并且保持健康。自那以后，数千人的生命因此得以挽救)”可知，巴斯德的疫苗测试取得了巨大成功。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Modifications of the Pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. A newer vaccine which contains the virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections.(巴斯德方法的改进版本至今仍在狂犬病治疗中使用。一种更新的疫苗含有从实验室培养的人类细胞中提取的病毒，更加安全且所需的注射次数较少)”可推知，狂犬病疫苗已经有了很大的改进。故选D。   【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“He is particularly famous for his work on rabies vaccine (狂犬病疫苗).(他尤其以狂犬病疫苗的工作而闻名)”和文章最后一段“Modifications of the Pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. A newer vaccine which contains the virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections.(巴斯德方法的改进版本至今仍在狂犬病治疗中使用。一种更新的疫苗含有从实验室培养的人类细胞中提取的病毒，更加安全且所需的注射次数较少)”可知，文章主要围绕路易·巴斯德为狂犬病疫苗所作出的奉献来展开。故选D。 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 show 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 shows that human communication of emotion 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 eye 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 (厌恶的), angry, or neutral (中性的). 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 show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified (多样化) 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. 8. The discovery shows that Westerners ________. A. consider facial expressions universally reliable B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 9. 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 researchers’ faces. 10. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to ________. A. examine the eyes more attentively B. study the mouth more frequently C. perform translation more successfully D. read facial expressions more correctly 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul B. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions C. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究，研究揭示了东西方人在识别面部表情上的文化差异及其原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.(西方人看眼睛和嘴巴的程度是一样的，而东方人更喜欢看眼睛而忽略嘴巴)”可知，西方人看眼睛和嘴巴的程度是一样的。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“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, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌恶的), angry, or neutral (中性的).(研究人员通过记录13名西方高加索人和13名东亚人的眼球运动来研究面部表情识别的文化差异，他们观察表情丰富的面部照片，并将其分为以下几类：快乐、悲伤、惊讶、恐惧、厌恶、愤怒或中性)”可知，研究中人们被要求给一些面部表情图片分类。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(格拉斯哥大学的研究人员Rachael Jack说，东方人不像西方人那样均匀地扫视整个面部，而是把注意力集中在眼睛上)”以及倒数第二段“It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did.(结果表明，东方人比西方人更关注眼睛，犯的错误也明显更多)”可知，与西方人相比，东方人更有可能更仔细地检查眼睛。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“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.(东亚人在区分面部表情方面往往比欧洲人更困难——发表在《当代生物学》在线版上的一份新报告解释了原因)”可知，文章围绕东西方人识别面部表情的文化差异展开，文章核心是“解读情绪时的文化差异”。B选项“Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions(解读情绪时的文化差异)”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Humans have always been working Earth’s land, and they also have always been studying and hoping to work the land of Mars one day. Planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference reported that Martian dirt may have all the necessary nutrients for growing rice, one of humankind’s most important foods. However, he emphasizes that the plant may need a bit of help to survive in perchlorate (高氯酸盐), a chemical that can be harmful to plants and has been detected on the surface of Mars. Ramachandran says they want to send humans to Mars, but they cannot take everything there, especially food. He thinks it’s going to be expensive, but growing rice there would be ideal. Ramachandran and his colleagues grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant (模拟物). They also grew rice in pure potting mix as well as several mixtures of the potting mix and soil simulant. All pots were watered once or twice a day. The team found rice plants did grow in the artificial dirt of Mars. However, the plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix and hybrid soils. The researchers also tried growing rice in soil with added perchlorate. They sourced some rice varieties — modified to stand environmental stressors like drought — and grew them in Mars-like dirt with and without perchlorate. No rice plants grew in a concentration of 3g of perchlorate per kilogram of soil. But when the concentration was just 1g per kilogram, one of the rice varieties grew both a shoot and a root, while another managed to grow a root. The findings are encouraging, suggesting that by changing to improve with one successful modified gene, humans might eventually be able to develop a rice cultivar suitable for Mars. 12. What does Ramachandran stress about growing rice on Mars in paragraph 2? A. The challenge. B. The reason. C. The benefit. D. The purpose. 13. Why do the scientists want to plant rice on Mars? A. To purify the Martian air. B. To feed Martian explorers. C. To test the Martian soil simulant. D. To improve the Martian soil environment. 14. What does the underlined word “concentration” refer to? A. the process of giving all attention to something B. the ability to solve difficult problems C. the act of making a liquid stronger by removing water D. the amount of a substance in a certain amount of soil 15. What is the author’s attitude to the research findings? A. Suspicious. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Curious. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家研究火星土壤种植水稻的可能性及相关实验结果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, he emphasizes that the plant may need a bit of help to survive in perchlorate (高氯酸盐), a chemical that can be harmful to plants and has been detected on the surface of Mars.(然而，他强调，这种植物可能需要一些帮助才能在高氯酸盐中生存，高氯酸盐是一种对植物有害的化学物质，在火星表面已经被检测到)”可知，Ramachandran强调在火星上种植水稻面临的挑战。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Ramachandran says they want to send humans to Mars, but they cannot take everything there, especially food. He thinks it’s going to be expensive, but growing rice there would be ideal.(Ramachandran说，他们想把人类送上火星，但他们不能把所有东西都带到那里，尤其是食物。他认为这会很昂贵，但在那里种植水稻将是理想的)”可知，科学家想在火星上种植水稻是为了养活火星探险者。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“No rice plants grew in a concentration of 3g of perchlorate per kilogram of soil. But when the concentration was just 1g per kilogram, one of the rice varieties grew both a shoot and a root, while another managed to grow a root.(在每千克土壤concentration 3克高氯酸盐，没有水稻植株能够生长。但当浓度仅为每千克1克时，其中一个水稻品种长出了茎和根，而另一个品种则成功长出了根)”可知，每千克土壤中3克高氯酸盐的浓度下没有水稻生长，但是当浓度仅为每千克1克时，其中一种水稻品种既长出了茎又长出了根，而另一种则长出了根。由此可知，concentration意思是“某物质在某一量土壤中的含量”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings are encouraging, suggesting that by changing to improve with one successful modified gene, humans might eventually be able to develop a rice cultivar suitable for Mars.(这些发现令人鼓舞，这表明，通过改变一个成功的改良基因，人类最终可能能够开发出适合火星种植的水稻品种)”可推知，作者对研究结果持积极态度。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dedication is the key to unlocking one's true potential and achieving success in life.

The rabies virus enters the body through the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva (唾液) entering an existing wound. After experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, Pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body. By studying the tissue of infected animals — rabbits, Pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus. This could be used for inoculation (接种). On July 6, 1885, Pasteur tested his vaccine on a man for the first time. He saved the life of a young man called Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. Pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method. The treatment lasted 10 days and in the end Joseph recovered and remained healthy. Since then thousands have been saved by this treatment. On March 1886, Pasteur was invited to present his results to the Academy of Sciences and in 1888 went on to found the Pasteur Institute in Paris. This was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases, the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching. Pasteur directed the institute personally until he died. The Pasteur Institute is still one of the most important centres in the world. Pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways. He died at Saint-Cloud on September 28, 1895 and was given a state funeral at the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Modifications of the Pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today.

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 show 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 shows that human communication of emotion 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 eye 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 (厌恶的), angry, or neutral (中性的). 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 show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified (多样化) 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. 8. The discovery shows that Westerners ________. A. consider facial expressions universally reliable B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 9. 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 researchers’ faces. 10. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to ________. A. examine the eyes more attentively B. study the mouth more frequently C. perform translation more successfully D. read facial expressions more correctly 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul B. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions C. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding D Humans have always been working Earth’s land, and they also have always been studying and hoping to work the land of Mars one day. Planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference reported that Martian dirt may have all the necessary nutrients for growing rice, one of humankind’s most important foods. However, he emphasizes that the plant may need a bit of help to survive in perchlorate (高氯酸盐), a chemical that can be harmful to plants and has been detected on the surface of Mars. Ramachandran says they want to send humans to Mars, but they cannot take everything there, especially food. He thinks it’s going to be expensive, but growing rice there would be ideal. Ramachandran and his colleagues grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant (模拟物). They also grew rice in pure potting mix as well as several mixtures of the potting mix and soil simulant. All pots were watered once or twice a day. The team found rice plants did grow in the artificial dirt of Mars. However, the plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix and hybrid soils. The researchers also tried growing rice in soil with added perchlorate. They sourced some rice varieties — modified to stand environmental stressors like drought — and grew them in Mars-like dirt with and without perchlorate. No rice plants grew in a concentration of 3g of perchlorate per kilogram of soil. But when the concentration was just 1g per kilogram, one of the rice varieties grew both a shoot and a root, while another managed to grow a root. The findings are encouraging, suggesting that by changing to improve with one successful modified gene, humans might eventually be able to develop a rice cultivar suitable for Mars. 12. What does Ramachandran stress about growing rice on Mars in paragraph 2? A. The challenge. B. The reason. C. The benefit. D. The purpose. 13. Why do the scientists want to plant rice on Mars? A. To purify the Martian air. B. To feed Martian explorers. C. To test the Martian soil simulant. D. To improve the Martian soil environment. 14. What does the underlined word “concentration” refer to? A. the process of giving all attention to something B. the ability to solve difficult problems C. the act of making a liquid stronger by removing water D. the amount of a substance in a certain amount of soil 15. What is the author’s attitude to the research findings? A. Suspicious. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Curious. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dedication is the key to unlocking one's true potential and achieving success in life.
