11、ong Fifth Avenue when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than 17 years old came forward. “What can I do for you, sir?” “I wish to buy a pair of socks.” His eyes glowed. “Did you
12、 know that you had come into the best place in the world to buy socks?” I had not been aware of that. “Come with me,” said the boy happily. He began to haul (用力拖) down from the shelves box after box. “Hold on, boy, I am going to buy only one pair!” “I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how
13、beautiful these are. Arent they wonderful?” There was on his face an expression of joy, as if he were showing to me the mysteries of his religion. “My friend,” said I, “if this is not just the enthusiasm (热情) that comes from novelty (新鲜), if you can keep up this day after day, in ten years you will
14、own every sock in the United States.” In many shops the customer has to wait for someone to serve him. And when finally some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were disturbing him. He displays no interest either in you or in the goods he is paid to sell. Yet possibly that very cle
15、rk who is now so cold began his career with enthusiasm. As time goes by, the enthusiasm is gradually gone; his only pleasures were found outside of working hours. He became a mechanical (机械的), not inspired, salesman. I have observed such change in the lives of so many people in so many occupations t
16、hat I have come to the conclusion that the fastest road to failure is to do things mechanically. 21. The writer was impressed by _.A. the boys young age B. the way the boy served himC. the beautiful socks in the shop D. the boys selling skills22. According to the writer, many shop clerks _. A. show
17、no or little pleasure in serving their customersB. have trouble in selling goods to their customersC. become uninterested in their work because its hardD. think it unnecessary to introduce their goods to the customer23. The writer wrote this article to _. A. share an interesting shopping experienceB
18、. tell a story of a successful young salesmanC. inspire people to go about their work with great interestD. encourage sales people to become more creative in their workBTeenagers and adults have a difficult time in communicating. Teenagers often think adults dont understand them. Adults often think
19、teenagers just dont listen to anything they say. That causes arguments and conflicts.People very often use “generation gap” to explain the problems between parents and children. However, the problem of communication between parents and teenagers does not all lie in the “generation gap”. It lies in m
20、ostly underlying statements that are not fully communicated between a teenager and a parent. Here is an example. Mother says: “Please take out the trash.” The teenager replies: “OK.” However, one hour later the mother finds the trash is still in the kitchen and so becomes a bit unhappy. “I thought I
21、 asked you to take out the trash.” But the child replies: “You didnt say I had to do it now.” Are you familiar with his kind of conversation? In this conversation the mother feels that the teenager should know what she means, but the teenager just doesnt. Conversations like this take place around ou
22、r home every day. They cause some unhappiness but are totally normal, and can usually be solved quite soon. It is when this type of “lack of communication” gets involved with the bigger issues of teenagers that larger problems can be caused. It is more difficult to solve these larger problems and it
23、 takes the hard work of both parents and teenagers to overcome such problems. 24. According to the writer, the difficulty in communication between teenagers and their parents lies in_. A. generation gap B. misunderstanding C. lack of communication D. different style of thinking25. The underlined wor

The writer believes that _.A. small incidents at home can cause lager problemsB. both parents and teenagers should learn to respect each otherC. the problems between parents and teenagers a
25、re easy to solveD. larger problems can be caused if miscommunication arises in bigger issuesCLife is full of funny moments, and not just for humans.Over the years, studies by various groups have suggested that monkeys, dogs and even rats love a good laugh. People, meanwhile, have been laughing since
26、 before they could talk.Jaak Panksepp, a professor at Bowling Green State University, US, said he would not be surprised if positive feelings could be produced in some animals.Dolphins, for example, have long attracted animal researchers because of the complex (复杂的) ways in which they communicate: a
27、 rich variety of sounds of different rhythms.A decade ago, researchers studying dolphins at the Kolmarden Wildlife Park in Sweden noticed a set of sounds the dolphins made during play-fighting. They concluded that the purpose of the sound was to suggest that the situation was pleasant and to prevent
28、 it from a real fight.Panksepp has even seen evidence of joy in crayfish (小龙虾). When given small amounts of drugs such as cocaine (可卡因) in a certain place, they appear to connect that location with pleasure.“Given the chance, they will always return to that place, perhaps in the hope of getting more
29、,” he says. Panksepp wasnt sure it equals the same happiness that humans get from cocaine, but said it “could be in the same evolutionary category”.More studies are needed to really understand animals laughter. Strangely enough, the answers may help with our own desires for cures for mental illnesse
30、s. Panksepps experiments may soon lead to a new antidepressant (抗抑郁) drug that works by using the pathways in the brain behind positive feelings and joy. Perhaps pleasure and laughter in the animal world will help solve the depression in our own species one day.27. Scientists are always interested i
31、n doing research on dolphins because dolphins _. A. understand humans sounds B. show positive feeling while playing C. make different sounds when they communicate D. make a set of sounds during play-fighting games 28. What do the underlined words “our own species” in the last paragraph refer to? A.
32、Animals. B. Humans. C. Sounds. D. Pleasure.29. From the passage we can learn that _. A. people learn to talk before they can laugh. B. animals have a very good sense of location. C. humans have known the animals happiness well. D. there is still much left to learn about animals laughter.30. Which of
33、 the following can be the best title for this passage? A. Animals Feeling Joy. B. Man and Nature. C. Sounds Made by Animals. D. A Long Way to Go.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is personality? How does knowledge about personality help us? First of all, let us take

In general, when psychologists talked about personality, they are usually looking for things that make a person different from others or things that can explain how a person is not the same as others. However, different psychologists have different ways of explainin
35、g what personality is. 31 For example, people who are quiet and like to spend more time at home reading and doing their own things are called introverts (性格内向的人). Others who enjoy going out and spend time with other people are called extroverts. 32 Are you an introverts or extroverts? 33 Well, one o

80、she had just got married a few months ago in Monterey. I remember Kate said she was going to a roommates wedding in Monterey, so I asked her if she had a roommate in college named Kate. She was very surprised and said she had. Then I told her all about meeting Kate on the plane. From Susan I got in touch with Kate, and were all good friends now.
