10、 third graders didnt welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downss Syndrome. This made him “different”, with its facial characteristics, slow responses and mental pro
11、blems. One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eg
12、gs. After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly. When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “Thats stupid
13、,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “Its mine. I did it. Its empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever
14、 made him different was never mentioned again. Philips family knew he wouldnt live a long life, for there were too many things wrong with him.21The underlined word “condition” in the 1st paragraph probably means _.A. grade B. status C. health D. disease22It can be inferred from the first paragraph t
15、hat _.A. the 8-year-olds were sometimes cruel. B. The 8-year-olds were friendly to Philip.C. Philip was really different in school. D. Philip was older and more sensitive.23The teacher gave each child one plastic egg to let them _.A. play around on that beautiful spring day. B. put some symbol of “n
16、ew life” into it.C. try to pull it apart in the middle. D. go out and discover themselves.24After Philip explained his new life, _.A. the class thought he was clever. B. The class fell silent.C. He began to study in the class. D. He felt dying.25We learn from the passage that _.A. the teacher used t
17、o have classes outdoors B. Philip was healthy as a whole.C. The Philips new life wish was empty D. Philip was accepted by his classmates in the endPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions-and a new report published online in Curre
18、nt 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, Jack said
19、. 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
20、 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
21、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 attenti
22、on 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 u
23、se 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 communicating
24、 emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.26The discovery shows that Westerners _A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB. consider facial expressions universally reliableC. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysD. have more diff
25、iculty in recognizing facial expressions27What were the people asked to do in the study?A. To make a face at each other.B. To get their faces impressive.C. To classify some face pictures.D. To observe the researchers faces.28What does the underlined word they in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The participa
26、nts in the study.B. The researchers of the study.C. The errors made during the studyD. The data collected from the study.29In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _A. do translation more successfullyB. study the mouth more frequentlyC. examine the eyes more attentivelyD. read facial
27、expressions more correctly30What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Eye as the Window to the SoulB. Cultural Differences in Reading EmotionsC. Effective Methods to Develop Social SkillsD. How to Increase Cross-cultural UnderstandingMandara seemed to know something big was about to happen.
28、So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses say she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going
29、on. And shes not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“Its very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm call if
30、 they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can if youre an animal. “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to th
31、e environment, which is how they survive.”Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of bird) gathered before the quake and stayed together until t
32、he shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough says earthquakes produce two types of waves a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She said s
33、he thinks the “P” wave might be what set the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith says the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “Im not
34、 surprised at all,” Smith said.31Why did Mandara act strangely one day?A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.D. Because an earthquake had happened.32According to Brandie Smith, _.A. many ani
35、mals hearing is sharpB. earthquakes produce two types of wavesC. primates usually gather together before a quakeD. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake33 Which word in the passage has a close meaning to the underlined word “cover”?A. vibrationB. shelterC. quakeD. range34 Which animal
36、 seems unable to sense a quake?A. A giant panda. B. A flamingo. C. A lemur. D. A lizard.35 What is the best title for the passage?A. How animals survive a quake.B. How animals differ from humans.C. How animals behave before a quake.D. How animals protect their young in a quake.One girl decided to st
37、udy judo（柔道）although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldnt understand why, after three months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shul
38、dnt I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move youll ever need to know,” the instructor replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.Several months later, the instructor took the girl to her first tournament. Surprisi
39、ng herself, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.This time, her oppon
40、ent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. She was about to stop the match when the instructor intervened（干预）.“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”Soon after the
41、match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake; she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was the champion.One the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the gir
42、l gathered the courage to ask what was really on her mind.“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered. “First, youve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for
43、your opponent to grab your Left arm.”The girls biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.36What can we learn about the girl? AShe was disabled in an accident.BShe disliked judo training.CShe learnt several moves.DShe won the first two matches hard.37The underlined word “overmatched” probably

Growi
57、ng bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them. 61In growing bonsai, in fact, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree, as the growing conditions are unusual. 62Varieties of pines with small needles and hardwood trunks are especia
58、lly suitable.63This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined(被限制) to the trees trunk and leaves, not its root systema process quite unlike what is done with other plants.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整） the roots and branches of the tree periodically （定
59、期地）. Unless this is done, the plants will not have the proper proportions(比例) and will look unnatural. 64The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the tree well-watered.
