12、 in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的)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，” J
13、ack 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 th
14、at had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in crosscultural 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 obser
15、ved 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 attent
16、ion 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, Easterne
17、rs 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 these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise，when it comes to communicat
18、ing emotions across cultures，Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.【语篇解读】文章主要讲述东西方人的表情文化区别。4The discovery shows that Westerners Apay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthBconsider facial expressions universally reliableCobserve the eyes and the mouth in different way

23、 at WalMart.Although my thoughts were only on speed，the checkout line I was standing in wasnt moving as quickly as I wanted，and I glanced toward the cashier.There stood a man in his seventies，wearing glasses and a nice smile.I thought，well，hes an old guy！For the next few minutes I watched him.He gre
24、eted every customer before scanning the items.Sure，his words were the usual，“Hows it going？”But he did something differenthe actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in a brief conversation.I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me
25、 how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while，you dont give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say，“I just found out I have six months to live，”and someone would reply，“Have a great day！”But that wasnt the end.He gave them the change, walk
26、ed around the counter，and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I surely want to thank you for shopping here today，”he told them.“You have a great day.

27、ins.All had been touched by his simple gestureand in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out，smiling.Of course，he did the same to me and I got to know his name，Marty.Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guys body.
28、I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.【语篇解读】通过本文的故事作者告诉人们：个人一个小小的积极的行动会对别人产生大的意义。8The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because Athe cashier couldnt work as fast as othersBthere were some big purchasesCthe cashier did more than scanning the itemsD
29、the writer was not patient enoughC细节理解题。由文章第二段可知，这个收银员不仅仅是扫描货物，他还和顾客进行了交流，这才使得作者这一排进行得很慢。9According to the writer, when common people ask you “Hows it going？” Athey dont really care what you may answerBthey are just practicing their conversation abilityCthey are inquiring about your private informat
30、ionDthey dont expect to hear any negative answersA推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知，他的话是惯例，但是他做了不同的事情他实际上在听别人说话。 由此可推断，平常说这话的人并不在意你的回答是什么。10What was most customers reaction to Martys behaviors?AThey thought it priceless.BThey were in some way moved.CThey thought it awful and odd.DThey felt somewhat offended.B细节理解题
31、。根据倒数第三段的“There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture.”可知，故选B项。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Matthew Youlden speaks nine languages fluently and understands more than a dozen.We work in the same office，so I constantly hear him speaking different languages. 11 When I

38、英语的人对自己的法语留下深刻印象不是个好动机)与下一句形成对比。13A该部分主要讲了找个同伴一起学习的重要性，因此A项(找个同伴)能概括该段主旨。14E下一句提到可以通过一些有趣的方式来练习新语言，因此E项(用任何方式练习新语言都是一种创造性的行为)符合语境。15C下一句提到但是作为成年人我们却不被允许犯错，因此C项(作为孩子我们可以犯错)与下一句形成对比，说明了学语言的过程中要像孩子一样的原因。.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)When I was about five years old，I used to watch a bird in the skies of sou
