23、s there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels. Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have _50_
24、shocking differences in perception between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they are _51_ of a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a(n) _52_ science journal. In Western countries, culture makes people think of them
25、selves as highly _53_ entities. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, _54_ inter-dependence, When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on the surroundings as well as the object. Using an experiment
26、 _55_ two tasks, Dr. Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that played to Americans _56_. In another, they estimated the lines length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asian. The level of brain activity, by _57_ blood flow, was then meas
27、ured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects brain were _58_. For the Americans, areas _59_ to attention were more favorable to them, when they worked on the task they tended to
28、 find more difficult - estimating the lines size relative to the square. The findings are a _60_ of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences. In one study, for instance researchers _61_ people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were m
29、ore likely to choose a red pen, and Westerners were more likely to choose the green one. Culture does not only make a(n) _62_ on how you see the world, but how you choose to under stand and internalize it. But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes
30、 to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us _63_ to how our brain works and holds new promises for us to develop programs to improve our memory techniques and _64_ our learning skills.【小题1】A. recoveredB. revealedC. rejectedD. replaced【小题2

34、atements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Its such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its
35、own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, its pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.Its a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report
36、about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “Thats what were going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grad
37、er, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter Abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass.Af
38、ter adding the librarys final touches, the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach Count
39、y.They stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing itself, thanks to ongoing donatio
40、ns from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The projects best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” 【小题1】In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?

48、king a phone callC. lining up in front of the stores D. writing to the company【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】C【小题3】B【解析】 (C)Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surely deserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-
49、slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War. H. B. Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that w
50、ere on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again, in the postwar years, Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twains novels, Adventures of Huckl
51、eberry Finn. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twains most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck the mass rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the
52、 slums”. More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurrences of the word nigger. (The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it.) But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point. The novel is
53、 strongly anti-slavery. Jims search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction a recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white
54、slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.” There is much more. Twains mystery novel Puddnhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior to whites,
55、 especially in intelligence, Twains tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth. A slave gave birth to her masters baby and, for fear that the child should be sold south, switched him for the masters baby by his wife. The slaves light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up wit
56、h both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The masters wifes baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave. The point was difficult to miss: nurture, not nature, was the key to social status. The features of the black man that provided t
57、he stuff of prejudicemanner of speech, for examplewere, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims. Was Twain a racist? Asking the questioning the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If we read the words and attitudes of the past
58、 through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present, we will find nothing but error. Lincoln, who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him. And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier, and inventor of Jim, may have done more to a
59、nger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.【小题1】How do Twains novels on slavery differ from Stowes?A. Twain was more willing to deal with racism.B. Twains attack on racism was much less open.C. Twains themes seemed to agree
60、with plots.D. Twain was openly concerned with racism.【小题2】The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that .A. slaves were forced to give up their babies to their mastersB. slaves babies could pickup slave holders way of speakingC. blacks social position was shaped by how they were brought upD
61、. blacks were born with certain features of prejudice【小题3】 What does the under lined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. The attacks.B. Slavery and prejudice.C. White men.D. The shows.【小题4】 What does the author mainly argue for?A. Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism
62、.B. Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.C. Twains works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.D. Twain s works should be read from a historical point of view.【答案】 【小题1】B【小题2】C【小题3】D【小题4】A【解析】 献，选A。考点：考查文化类短文Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most su

Customers opinions on advertisersD. Functions of advertisingAB. Interactions between the advertisers and the customersAC. Benefits one ma
64、y get from reading honest advertisements.【小题1】 When you see a clever advertisement in a newspaper, do you say to yourself, “Ah, thats good. Id like to have one of these”? Or do you say, “What lies are they telling this time? It cant be very good or they wouldnt have to advertise it so cleverly”? Bot
65、h of these people exist: the fist are optimists; the second pessimists and realists.【小题2】 Advertisements can be extremely useful if they are honest: if, let us say, you have broken you pen and you want to buy another, the first thing to do is to look at as many advertisements for pens as you can fin
66、d. That will help you to choose the model, color and price that suits you. Advertisements save a lot of time and trouble in a quick and simple way. If the advertisements are true and accurate, the customers will be satisfied and will probably buy from the same firm nest time and advise their friends
67、 and acquaintances to do the same.【小题3】 Some advertisers hope to sell his goods quickly and to make a large profit on them. They know that no customers will buy from them a second time or recommend the products to their friends. Other advertisers make claims for their products which they know perfec
68、tly well to be incapable of verification, like advertising that a certain toothpaste contains a particular substance knowing that this substance is in fact neither beneficial or harmful to the teeth. Such advertisements do not tell downright lies, but their advertising is deliberately misleading.【小题
69、4】 If there was no advertising, fewer goods would be sold, so the cost of each article would be higher. The more you advertise, the more cheaply you can afford to sell your products. Advertising also encourages makers to improve their goods continually. One manufacturer of soap-power claims that his
70、 products does not harm housewives hands, and quotes the opinions of prominent doctors to prove this. All other soap-powder manufacturers are forced to make their products harmless too.【小题5】 As advertisers become more and more expert at their work, they appeal to all the human emotions in the effort
71、 to increase sales: love of a bargain, fear of ill health, the desire to show off and many others. But more and more customers are also becoming suspicious of and resistant to high-powered advertising. This is producing a deliberately modest advertisement that is intended to disarm the customers sus

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. A loving person lives in a loving w
73、orld. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror. Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a physical mirror serves as the vehicle to reflection, so do all of the people in our lives. When we see something beautiful su
74、ch as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside of ourselves. When we love someone, its a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when Im with that person.” That si
75、mply translates into “Im able to love me when I love that other person.” Oftentimes, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes its as if weve known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities. Just as the “mirror” or other person can be a posit
76、ive reflection, it is more likely that well notice it when it has a negative connotation. For example, its easy to remember times when we have met someone were not particularly crazy about. We may have some criticism in our mind about the person. This is especially true when we get to know someone w
77、ith whom we would rather spend less time. Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically, its usually the mirror thats speaking to us. I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didnt particularly like. Each time, I asked myself, “What is it about th
78、at person that I dont like?” and then “Is there something similar in me?” in every instance, I could see a piece of that quality in me, and sometimes I had to really get very introspective. So what did that mean? It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someo
79、ne else, Id better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes. Even if Im not willing to make a drastic change, at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that Im doing. At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or disgusted. Although we dont want to be
80、lieve it, and its not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a great learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. Its simply just another way to create more self-awareness. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS).【小题1
