People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing (区别) 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 (均匀地) 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 neglect (忽略) 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, 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 did Westerners. “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 communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
4. The discovery shows that Westerners _______.
A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B. consider facial expressions universally reliable
C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
5. What were the people asked to do in the study?
A. To get their faces impressive. B. To classify some face pictures.
C. To make a face at each other. D. To observe the researchers’ faces.
6. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _______.
A. do translation more successfully B. read facial expressions more correctly
C. examine the eyes more attentively D. study the mouth more frequently
7. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions. B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills.
C. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding. D. The Eye as the Window to the Soul.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文通过一项科学研究,阐述东西方人识别面部表情的差异,指出文化因素会影响人们解读情绪的方式,面部表情并非通用的人类情绪信号。
【4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 neglect the mouth.(西方人同等关注眼睛和嘴巴,而东亚人偏重眼睛、忽略嘴巴)”可知,西方人会同等关注眼睛和嘴巴。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“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, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.(研究人员研究面部表情识别的文化差异,记录实验者的眼球运动,让实验者观察表情图片并将其分为不同情绪类别)”可知,研究中参与者需要对人脸图片进行分类。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners.(结果表明,东亚人更专注于观察眼睛,出错率远高于西方人)”可知,相比西方人,东亚人观察眼睛更为专注。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文围绕东西方人解读面部情绪的文化差异展开论述,探讨文化对情绪识别的影。A项“阅读情感的文化差异”贴合全文主旨,适合用作标题。
C
A new study, led by Dr. Rebecca Stone, has shown that children as young as four years old eat 79% more calories when they are bored, compared to when they are in a normal mood (情绪) .
The researchers have explored the behaviors that make children more likely to eat when they experience negative emotions. Often when children experience bad emotions such as boredom or sadness, caring adults will use food to soothe them. However, this behavior, known as emotional feeding, appears to increase the possibility of children eating more when they are in low spirits. As time passes, too many calories intake will have a significant effect on children’s health both mentally and physically.
Dr. Stone stresses that the experience of boredom is important in the development of children’s sense of self and creativity, so she does not recommend that children should avoid being bored. Instead, she suggests children learn to experience boredom without turning to food. She also suggests that parents turn their children’s attention away from food when they feel bored, or restructure the home food environment to make it less likely that children turn to food in response to being bored.
While there do appear to be individual differences between children in terms of their eating when bored, it is helpful to know that the feeding practices that adults use around food might shape the likelihood of this happening. Although it is attractive to use food as a tool to help children, emotional feeding might lead to greater emotional eating in the future. It is important for parents and caregivers to be aware that this short-term fix could create future problems.
It is hoped that, on the original basis of the study, the team will deeply explore other negative mood states in children and offer advice and support for families to find more effective ways to manage challenges around children eating behavior.
8. What does the research focus on?
A. How children form good living habits. B. How children face challenges in life.
C. How boredom impacts on children eating. D. How parents bring up their children.
9. What does the underlined word “soothe” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Ignore. B. Comfort. C. Excuse. D. Control.
10. What can we know about emotional feeding?
A. It makes children lose weight quickly.
B. It creates a new home food environment.
C. It cannot keep children trusting their parents.
D. It may not help handle bad moods in the long run.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Expectations for further studies.
B. The importance of going on a diet.
C. The necessity of managing moods.
D. Ways to strengthen family relationship.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由Rebecca Stone博士领导的一项关于儿童情绪与饮食行为之间关系的研究,详细阐述了研究发现以及其对儿童健康的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A new study, led by Dr. Rebecca Stone, has shown that children as young as four years old eat 79% more calories when they are bored, compared to when they are in a normal mood(情绪) .( Rebecca Stone博士领导的一项新研究表明,四岁的孩子在无聊时摄入的卡路里比他们情绪正常时多79%。)”以及第二段“Often when children experience bad emotions such as boredom or sadness, caring adults will use food to soothe them. However, this behavior, known as emotional feeding, appears to increase the possibility of children eating more when they are in low spirits. (通常,当孩子们经历无聊或悲伤等不良情绪时,有爱心的成年人会用食物来抚慰他们。然而,这种被称为情绪喂养的行为似乎增加了孩子在情绪低落时吃得更多的可能性。)”可知,该研究主要是关于无聊对于孩子饮食的影响。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“Often when children experience bad emotions such as boredom or sadness(通常,当孩子们经历无聊或悲伤等不良情绪时)”可判断,空处指的是有爱心的成年人会用食物来“安慰”孩子。选项A“Ignore (忽视)”;选项B“Comfort.(安慰)”;选项C“Excuse (借口)”;选项D“Control (控制)”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Although it is attractive to use food as a tool to help children, emotional feeding might lead to greater emotional eating in the future. It is important for parents and caregivers to be aware that this short-term fix could create future problems.(虽然把食物作为帮助孩子的工具很有吸引力,但情绪化喂养可能会导致未来更多的情绪化进食。重要的是,父母和照顾者要意识到,这种短期的解决方案可能会给未来带来问题。)”可知,情绪化喂养可能会导致未来更多的情绪化进食,这种短期的解决方案可能会给未来带来问题。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“It is hoped that, on the original basis of the study, the team will deeply explore other negative mood states in children and offer advice and support for families to find more effective ways to manage challenges around children eating behavior.(团队希望在原有研究的基础上,将深入探索儿童的其他消极情绪状态,并为家庭提供建议和支持,以找到更有效的方法来应对儿童饮食行为带来的挑战。)”可知,最后一段主要讲述了团队对于进一步研究的期望。故选A。
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic (有毒的) positivity, which has negative results. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying (否认) our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’,” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “you’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
12. What is emotional validation?
A. Accepting emotional ups and downs. B. Denying people’s negative feelings.
C. Maintaining positivity in hard times. D. Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
13. What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person?
A. Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B. I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C. I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D. You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
14. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Creative. B. Challenging. C. Widespread. D. Massive.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Sticking to positivity is significant. B. Promoting positivity is worthwhile.
C. Admitting negativity is reasonable. D. Expressing negativity is inappropriate.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了过度积极可能有害,提倡情绪确认的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important.(准确来说,情绪确认就是让人们去体验自己的感受,并承认负面情绪是真实存在的,而且往往很重要)”可知,情绪确认意味着接受情绪的起伏。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’,” explains Vasan.(瓦桑解释说:“这其实可以很简单,只要说一句‘我知道你现在真的很难过’。”)”以及“Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings.(表达你的理解能让所爱之人感受到你在乎他们的情绪)”可推知,作者可能会建议你对伤心的人说“你有权利感到难过,我会陪在你身边”这类支持性的话。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “you’re too sensitive”(你可能认识很多这样的人,他们会用“你太敏感了”之类的话来否定你的负面经历)”可知,有毒的积极心态非常普遍,很多人都会这样做,由此可推测 prevalent 意为“普遍的,广泛传播的”,与widespread同义。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第二段提到“Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate.(有毒的积极心态是指即使在并不合适的情境中仍坚持保持积极的想法)”以及第三段强调“However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings.(然而,情绪确认是让人们体验自己的情绪)”可知,文章指出过度积极会导致有毒的积极性,并强调应当接纳负面情绪,给予情绪确认,因此核心是承认负面情绪的合理性。

Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. ____16____
According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions (being in the same place and the same time, again and again). When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing. ____17____ Unless we make the effort to put ourselves in situations where we’ll be among others, we probably won’t meet anyone new. So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people.
____18____ You also have to make the effort to engage with them. Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation. ____19____ This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with. Interestingly, a study by Cornell University found that most people underestimate how much people like them when they meet new people. So even if you feel a bit awkward, chances are that other people won’t see you in this way.
Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop. Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them. ____20____
A. Friends, like books, should be few but good.
B. Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t.
C. But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out.
D. It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though.
E. Nevertheless, making friends with right people is full of benefits.
F. Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes.
G. Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了成年人是可以交到朋友的,但是需要花费时间和精力。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible.(作为一个成年人交朋友可能很难,但也不是不可能)”以及后文“Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop.(一旦你和某人建立了友好的关系,你需要给这种关系发展的时间)”可知,本文讲述成年人交朋友可能很难,但也不是不可能,但是需要时间,所以F项“Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes.(然而,不幸的是,没有办法避免花费时间和精力)”和前文构成转折关系,且符合本文主题。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions (being in the same place and the same time, again and again). When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing.(根据心理学家和友谊专家玛丽莎·G·弗朗哥博士的说法,开始一段友谊有一个必要的因素:持续的、计划外的互动(一次又一次地在同一个地点、同一个时间)。当我们年轻的时候,在学校或大学里,这要容易得多,因为我们被自动地置于一个广泛的人际网络中,这些人都在经历同样的事情)”可知,本段在讲述了发展友谊的必要因素,年轻的时候很容易实现这个因素,所以C项“But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out.(但随着年龄的增长,我们闲逛的时间越来越少)”和前文构成转折关系,符合文意。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people.(所以,你的第一步应该是去那些你可以遇见别人的地方)”以及后文“You also have to make the effort to engage with them.(你还必须努力与他们接触)”可知,D项“It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though.(然而,仅仅和这些人在一起是不够的)”承接上文,并引出下文,符合文意。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation.(自我介绍一下,试着开始一段对话)”以及后文“This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with.(这很好:只要坚持下去,直到你找到一个你喜欢的人)”可知,B项“Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t.(有时会顺利,有时则不然)”是对前文的进一步说明,而后文又是对本句的进一步说明,符合文意。故选B项。
【20题详解】
设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them.(不断出现,有意识地为对方付出努力,同时对这段关系有足够的信心,不要对他们要求太高)”可知,G项“Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together.(随着时间的推移,你们共同的经历会让你们走得更近)”是对前文的总结,符合文意。故选G项。

【导语】文章主要讲述了中国面条的种类、历史、制作方式及烹饪特点。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国面条种类繁多,因产地、配料、形状或宽度及制作方法不同而有所差异。本题考查固定搭配a great variety of,表示“多种多样的”。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它们是中国大多数地区菜系的重要组成部分,在台湾、新加坡以及其他华人聚居的东南亚国家也是如此。根据空后cuisines可知,此处需用形容词regional“区域性的”,修饰名词作定语。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:虽然中国人、阿拉伯人和意大利人都声称自己是第一个发明面条的民族,但最早关于面条的文字记载来自中国东汉时期(公元25年至220年)。根据空前the first可知,此处需用不定式to create作后置定语。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意同上。空处为句子的谓语动词,此处叙述客观事实,需用一般现在时;主语the first written account of noodles为第三人称单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式dates。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:2005年10月,在中国青海喇家遗址——黄河沿岸新石器时代齐家文化聚落发掘过程中,发现了迄今最古老的面条。根据空后the Lajia archaeological site可知,此处表示“在考古遗址”,需用介词at。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:面条既可以用新鲜形态烹制,也可以用干制形态烹制。表示“要么……要么……”用固定搭配either...or...。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:与许多西方面条和意面不同,由小麦粉制成的中国面条通常用加盐面团制作,因此不需要在煮面的水中再加盐。空处需要非谓语动词作定语,be made from“由……制成”,为固定短语,所以此处去掉be动词,剩下过去分词作后置定语。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。此处考查“介词 + 关系代词”引导的定语从句,先行词为liquid,指物,需用关系代词which作介词in的宾语。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国面条煮的时间很短,通常不到5分钟就能变得有嚼劲,有些甚至不到1分钟即可煮熟,较细的面条需要的时间更短。此处需用副词generally“通常”修饰动词作状语。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处是with的复合结构,noodles与require为主动关系,需用现在分词 作宾语补足语。

48. My grandpa’s ________ (wise) about growing vegetables taught me about patience. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】wisdom
【解析】
【详解】句意:爷爷种菜的智慧让我懂得了何为耐心。空格前有名词所有格 grandpa’s,后接名词作句子主语。形容词 wise(明智的)需变为名词 wisdom(智慧)。
49. All the students ________(involve) in the drama production stayed after school for rehearsals every day.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】involved
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:参与这部戏剧演出的所有学生每天放学后都会留下来进行排练。此处involve与students构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填involved。
50. My plan is ________ (invite) my friends over at the weekend to show them my new-found skills. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to invite
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的计划是周末邀请朋友们到我家来,向他们展示我新学会的技能。当主语是plan(计划), aim(目标), goal(目标), idea(想法)这类表示“计划、打算、意图”的名词时,常用动词不定式作表语来表示具体将要发生的动作。

【答案】appropriately
【解析】
【详解】句意:然而,随着技术持续快速发展,关于如何合适地使用它的问题也随之出现。此处需要一个副词来修饰动词use,汉语提示“合适地”,appropriately符合语境。

【答案】It’s estimated that
【解析】

【答案】throw myself into
【解析】
【详解】句意:随着高考临近,是时候该投身于努力学习了。根据汉语提示“投身于”可知,空处应填固定短语throw oneself into,从句主语为I,反身代词用myself。it’s high time that sb. should do sth.为固定句型,从句用虚拟语气,意为“是时候某人该做某事了”,should后接动词原形。
第五部分 阅读表达(共两节,满分15分)
My Dad’s Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony. When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems (茎) were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in a grain of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them”, he said to mom. Every day, when he came home from work, he went straight to the balcony. Mom used to tell us: “Do not touch daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.
One day, my elder sister, who loved dad very much, had a great idea. __________________________________________

【解析】
【导语】本文以怀旧的口吻,回忆了作者童年时父亲在阳台精心种植康乃馨的故事。父亲不仅细心照料花朵,还像医生一样为花茎做“改良手术”,全家人都对这些美丽的康乃馨充满喜爱。
【56题详解】
①考查序数词。句意:我们的第一个家是在第二层带有宽敞阳台的小公寓。根据第一段“I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony (我记得我第一处家是位于二楼的一间小公寓,它有一个漂亮又宽敞的阳台)”可知,此处表示楼层顺序,需用序数词second,作定语。
②考查非谓语动词。句意:当妈妈忙碌时,我站在阳台上看孩子们在街上玩耍。根据第一段“When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. (妈妈在厨房忙碌时,就让我待在阳台上,看着孩子们在街上玩耍)”可知,此处需用现在分词playing,作宾补。
③考查形容词。根据第二段“Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. (我常常坐在阳台的地板上,久久地耐心看着他和那些美丽的花儿)”及表格右侧“My father grew carnations in flower boxes, admired by everyone for their beauty. (我父亲在花盒里种着康乃馨,人们都为它们的美丽所倾倒)”可知,此处描述人物情绪,可用形容词Proud。
④考查名词。句意:他非常擅长照料花卉:他会像医生一样对粗壮的茎秆进行改良处理,用刀仔细地在茎秆上做出切口。根据第二段“when the stems ( 茎) were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation like a doctor (当花茎长得粗壮挺拔、高度合适时,他就像一名医生一样开始进行修整作业)”可知,此处需用名词improvement,作定语。
⑤考查名词。句意:同上。根据第三段“Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in a grain of barley (插穗的芽). (之后他用小刀划出一道整齐的切口,大小刚好能嵌入花穗的芽)”可知,此处需用名词knife,作宾语。
⑥考查不定代词。句意:家里有明确的规矩,任何人都不可以触碰这些花。根据第三段“No one should touch them (任何人都不能碰这些花)”可知,No one同义替换为不定代词Nobody,作主语。
⑦考查形容词。句意:看着细小的花茎慢慢生长、绽放花朵,我们都深深着迷。根据第三段“For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. (看着小小的花茎慢慢生长、开出花朵,对我们来说是一段十分有趣的经历)”可知,修饰人需用-ed形式形容词fascinated,作表语。
【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“when the stems ( 茎) were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation like a doctor (当花茎长得粗壮挺拔、高度合适时,他就像一名医生一样开始进行修整作业)”以及全家人都对父亲的花着迷可推知,姐姐的好主意是模仿父亲,给康乃馨花茎做一次“小手术”,以此表达对父亲和他的花的爱。
【58题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in a grain of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. (我爸爸拿了一把小刀,用左手握住康乃馨的茎秆,量了量高度,然后用手指在茎上轻轻划了一道小标记。之后他用小刀划出一道整齐的切口,大小刚好能嵌入花穗的芽)”可推知,我们会趁父母不在时,模仿父亲的步骤:用小刀在粗壮的花茎上做标记、切口,再用绷带包扎,试图完成一次“改良手术”。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Mom used to tell us: “Do not touch daddy’s flowers.” (妈妈常常跟我们说:“别碰爸爸的花。”)”可推知,妈妈发现我们碰了花、还模仿父亲用小刀操作后,会感到惊讶,但不会严厉批评,而是温柔地提醒我们玩小刀很危险,同时解释父亲照顾这些花时有多细心。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. (他用满满的爱和专注照料它们,像母亲照顾孩子一样细心对待他的花)”可推知,父亲发现后不会生气,而是觉得既好笑又感动。他会因为孩子们模仿自己、真心喜爱这些花而感到温暖,之后还可能会耐心教我们正确的养花方法。

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing (区别) 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 (均匀地) 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 neglect (忽略) 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, 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 did Westerners. “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 communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
4. The discovery shows that Westerners _______.
A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B. consider facial expressions universally reliable
C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
5. What were the people asked to do in the study?
A. To get their faces impressive. B. To classify some face pictures.
C. To make a face at each other. D. To observe the researchers’ faces.
6. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _______.
A. do translation more successfully B. read facial expressions more correctly
C. examine the eyes more attentively D. study the mouth more frequently
7. What can be the best title for the passage?

A new study, led by Dr. Rebecca Stone, has shown that children as young as four years old eat 79% more calories when they are bored, compared to when they are in a normal mood (情绪) .
The researchers have explored the behaviors that make children more likely to eat when they experience negative emotions. Often when children experience bad emotions such as boredom or sadness, caring adults will use food to soothe them. However, this behavior, known as emotional feeding, appears to increase the possibility of children eating more when they are in low spirits. As time passes, too many calories intake will have a significant effect on children’s health both mentally and physically.
Dr. Stone stresses that the experience of boredom is important in the development of children’s sense of self and creativity, so she does not recommend that children should avoid being bored. Instead, she suggests children learn to experience boredom without turning to food. She also suggests that parents turn their children’s attention away from food when they feel bored, or restructure the home food environment to make it less likely that children turn to food in response to being bored.
While there do appear to be individual differences between children in terms of their eating when bored, it is helpful to know that the feeding practices that adults use around food might shape the likelihood of this happening. Although it is attractive to use food as a tool to help children, emotional feeding might lead to greater emotional eating in the future. It is important for parents and caregivers to be aware that this short-term fix could create future problems.
It is hoped that, on the original basis of the study, the team will deeply explore other negative mood states in children and offer advice and support for families to find more effective ways to manage challenges around children eating behavior.
8. What does the research focus on?
A. How children form good living habits. B. How children face challenges in life.
C. How boredom impacts on children eating. D. How parents bring up their children.
9. What does the underlined word “soothe” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Ignore. B. Comfort. C. Excuse. D. Control.
10. What can we know about emotional feeding?
A. It makes children lose weight quickly.
B. It creates a new home food environment.
C. It cannot keep children trusting their parents.
D. It may not help handle bad moods in the long run.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Expectations for further studies.
B. The importance of going on a diet.
C. The necessity of managing moods.
D. Ways to strengthen family relationship.
D
There’s no doubt that positive thinking impacts one’s life. However, in recent years, I’ve come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic (有毒的) positivity, which has negative results. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).
Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isn’t appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying (否认) our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isn’t. It’s the act of denying anything negative that’s actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or “just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.
Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing people to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesn’t mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.
Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying ‘I understand you’re really sad’,” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telling someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.
Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “you’re too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever you’re feeling is temporary and allowing yourself to feel it will help you get through it.
12. What is emotional validation?
A. Accepting emotional ups and downs. B. Denying people’s negative feelings.
C. Maintaining positivity in hard times. D. Avoiding risks in terrible situations.
13. What may the author recommend you to say to a sad person?
A. Perhaps something fortunate is still waiting for you.
B. I’m sure there’s a good reason for what has happened.
C. I understand your sadness but being sensitive is no good.
D. You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.
14. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Creative. B. Challenging. C. Widespread. D. Massive.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Sticking to positivity is significant. B. Promoting positivity is worthwhile.
C. Admitting negativity is reasonable. D. Expressing negativity is inappropriate.

Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. ____16____
According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions (being in the same place and the same time, again and again). When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing. ____17____ Unless we make the effort to put ourselves in situations where we’ll be among others, we probably won’t meet anyone new. So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people.
____18____ You also have to make the effort to engage with them. Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation. ____19____ This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with. Interestingly, a study by Cornell University found that most people underestimate how much people like them when they meet new people. So even if you feel a bit awkward, chances are that other people won’t see you in this way.
Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop. Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them. ____20____
A. Friends, like books, should be few but good.
B. Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t.
C. But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out.
D. It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though.
E. Nevertheless, making friends with right people is full of benefits.
F. Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes.
G. Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together.

My Dad’s Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony. When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street. On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems (茎) were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in a grain of barley (插穗的芽). Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. “No one should touch them”, he said to mom. Every day, when he came home from work, he went straight to the balcony. Mom used to tell us: “Do not touch daddy’s flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too.
One day, my elder sister, who loved dad very much, had a great idea. __________________________________________
