30、rcher, 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,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eves and the mouth in equal measure, wh
31、ereas 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 relia
32、bly 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,
33、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 Westerners did
34、.“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
35、 expressions are not universal signals of human emotion.From here on，examining how cultural factors have diversified (多样性) 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 th

40、 High School in Hanford, Calif., since 1993.Cordi is considered the nations first full-time high school storytelling teacher, and thanks to his efforts, he5s not the only one.In 1991，he started teaching literature, but says he “wasnt getting through” to the students.That is, until he noticed somethi
41、ng.“Every time I would say, That reminds me of a story, students would listen.” At that point he asked students to get involved.Cordis own love of storytelling began with his family.Although he grew up in Uniontown, Ohio, his mothers stories frequently took him back to her West Virginia homeland in
42、the Appalachian Mountains.He also learned a lot by working as a door-to-door salesman through much of his teens.“I earned about people, about personalities,” he says.At the time, school didnt hold his interest, and it wasnt until college that he finally fell in love with learning.Now Cordi wants tha
43、t to happen sooner for his own students.“Making learning fun thats a must,” Cordi says.He also learned a lot by working as a door-to-door salesman through much of his teens.“I learned about people, about personalities,” he says.At the time, school didnt hold his interest, and it wasnt until college
44、that he finally fell in love with learning.Now Cordi wants that to happen sooner for his own students.“Making learning fun - thats a must,” Cordi says.Making learning a two-way street is also part of his teaching dream.“Often teachers see their job to pass knowledge.I see it as a sharing exchange,”
45、he says.“Every time a student tells a story, they are able to listen to their own words.”“The only rule that 1 have is no one is made to feel uncomfortable at any time,” he says.When people, including some teachers, complained about what is wrong with kids today, Cordi disagreed. “Provide students w
46、ith a place and you will be surprised,” he tells them, pointing to his own results.“Ive had other teachers tell me, that they can tell which students are from my classes because their natives are so good.My students also are well-mannered because they have learned listening skills.”54.The underlined
47、 word “that” in paragraph 5 may refer to .A.falling in love with learning B.beginning to love story-tellingC.working as a door-to-door salesmanD.learning about people and their personalities55.What is Cordis most important rule at class?A.Having students learn on the street.B.Letting students share
48、their life experiences.C.Getting everyone to listen to their own words.D.Making everyone feel comfortable all the time.56.By saying “I wasnt getting through to the students”, Cordi meant “ ”.A.He couldnt make students understand what he saidB.He couldnt make sure that his students more successfulC.H
49、e couldnt succeed in speaking to his students on the phoneD.He couldnt succeed in making students communicate with each otherDFor more than a century it was thought that a beautiful face was appealing because it was a collection of average features.Using his computer system, Dr.David at the Universi
50、ty of St Andrews has challenged the theory.In his experiment, the photographs of women were ranked for their attractiveness by a number of volunteers.Two composite (合成的) pictures were then created: one, the average of all the pictures, the other made from those rated most attractive.Although the fac
51、es looked very similar at first sight, most people said they preferred the composite of most attractive faces.“The conclusion I reached,” said Dr.David, “was that the most attractive face wasnt average.If you look at famous film stars and supermodels, youll see most of them have ideal features - lar
52、ger than normal eyes, higher arched eyebrows, slightly smaller noses and higher cheekbones.Even popular cartoon characters such as Betty Boop and Bambi have big eyes, small turned-up noses，big mouths and small chins.If these features are exaggerated (夸张的), the attractiveness rating goes up even more
53、.Julia Roberts is a good example of this.Do men with large eyes, high cheekbones and a small chin have the same appeal? Researchers were a bit shocked at the top-ranking male face.They expected it to have the cl6563 square jaw and strong cheekbones, but instead, women seem to prefer men with gentle
54、faces.Dr.David puts forward a reason to explain why so many women now go for baby-faced stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jude Law.Women like a man with feminine(女性化的) face because he is more likely to make a kinder and more trustworthy husband and father.But are the same features considered to be
55、 attractive all over the world? A worldwide study carried out by Professor Cunningham at the University of Louisville, Kentucky concluded that there were only very subtle (细微的) differences between different cultures.In other words, although there might be a little truth in the old saying that beauty
56、 is in the eye of the beholder, but generally speaking, we all seem to be attracted to the same things.57.Dr.David reached his conclusion mainly by .A.telling true storiesB.making comparisonsC.following general rulesD.following the order of importance58.According to Dr.Davids theory, Julia Roberts i
57、s considered very .A.appealing B.intelligentC.successful D.trustworthy59.Which of the following features of men is most attractive to women?A.High cheekbones.B.Baby faces.C.Classic square jaws.D.Large eyes.60.According to the author, people from different cultures .A.seem to pay little attention to
58、their differenceB.have completely different views about beautyC.have managed to cross cultural boundariesD.seem to have the similar standard of beauty第II卷（非选择题 共25分）第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Last week I took my children to a restaurant.My six-year-old son asked if he could say prayer.As we bo

60、 today dont even know how to pray.Asking God for ice-cream! Why, I never!” Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, “Did I d it wrong? Is God mad at me?” As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the
61、 table.He winked at my son and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.” “Really?” my son asked.“Cross my heart (我发哲!).” answered the gentleman.Then in a dramatic whisper he added (indicating the woman whose word had started this whole thing), “Too bad she never asks God for
62、 ice cream.A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.”Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal.My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the
63、 woman.With a big smile he told her, “Here, this is for you.Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already.”61.What did the writers six-year-old son ask to do before the meal?

79、e land called Parsons Place by the football ground.Few people know about this new plan lo increase the size of our town. For me.Parsons Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax.It is very quiet because there arc few houses or roads nearby.I think that losi
80、ng this area will be terrible because we have no other similar places m the neighborhood.I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of the town. Therefore, these
81、 people will have to drive through the town center every time they go anywhere.The roads will always be full of traffic.There will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to sec our lovely old buildings will leave.Shops and hotels will lose business.No doubt the builders will make a lot of mone
82、y by selling these houses.But in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this, we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to argue against this plan and I hope that you will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.
