第一节 （共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
   When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there would be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanly talke mostly about her dead husband, “ Mr. Stanleg and I went shopping this morning.” The first time She said that, soda went up my nose
   I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).
   I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.
   I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “find,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.
21. Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?
   A. He was talking fast                 B. He was shocked
   C. He was in a hurry                  D. He was absent-minded
22. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to paragraph 3?
   A. He enjoyed the drink                  B. He wanted to be helpful
   C. He took the chance to rest              D. He tried to please his dad
23. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system”?
   A. recover from her sadness               B. move out of the neighborhood
   C. turn to her old friends                 D. speak out about her past
24. What does the author think people in a community should do?
   A. Open up to others                    B. Depend on each other
   C. Pay for others’ help                   D. Care about one another
B
   It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).
   So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (认知的)performance or is it just a feeling?
   Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn though to have close attention to detail.
   What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test (one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition,” suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.
   This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?
   From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown. (学位服).
25. What is the main idea of the text?
   A. Body movements change the way people think
B. How people dress has an influence on their feelings
   C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance
   D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes
26. Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers’___________.
   A. insights          B. movements       C. attention       D. appearance
27. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
   A. Academic          B. Humorous        C. Formal         D. Hopeful

C

There is no denying that some people live to be older than others. Followed are the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿）？ Are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.
According to the study, those who live the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的）than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you I would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.
Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to Jong life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their way.
Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible. 
Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids depressed moms end up dying younger.
Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
32. The purpose of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is    .
 A.to see whether people's personality affects their life span
 B.to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health
 C.to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life
 D.to examine all the factors contributing to longevity
33. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?
 A.They have a good understanding of evolution.
 B.They are better at negotiating an agreement.
 C.They generally appear more resourceful.
 D.They are more likely to get over hardship.
34. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?
 A.Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.
 B.Advantageous personality characteristics actually vary with times.
 C.Such characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.
 D.Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.
35. What is the main idea of this passage?
 A.Anxiety and depression cut one's life span short.
 B.Longevity results from mental and physical health.
 C.Personality plays a decisive role in longevity.
 D.Health is in large part related to one's life style.

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。
How to Remember What You Read
Reading is important. But the next step is making sure that you remember what you’ve read!   36   You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images(形象)may fly right out of your head. Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.
● 37  
If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, likely won’t be able to remember what you read. It’s a bit like reading a foreign language. If you don’t understand what you’re reading, how would you remember it? But there are a few things you can do… Use a dictionary: look up the difficult words.
●Are you connected?
Does a character remind you of friend? Don’t the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the look inspire you, and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away.   38   How willing are you to make the connections happen?
●Read it; hear it; be it!
Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some character into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the parts of the characters, He’d make faces in the mirror, and change his voice for each character.  39 
●How often do you read?
If you read frequently, you’ll likely have and easier time with remembering what you’re reading(and what you’ve read).  40  As you make reading a regular part of your life, you’ll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text better. You’ll learn to enjoy literature—as you remember what you read!
A. Are you confused?
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. What’s your motivation?
D. Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.
E. Marking helps you remember what you read.
F. But other books require a bit more work on your part
G. You can do the same thing when you are reading the text!

After all, I should have played in the park and not in the path 47 buildings. Although my 48 trembled as I stood explaining, I offered to 49 the window if she would return my ball. I also learned that personal property is a 50 thing.
After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom. I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else 51 the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father 52 from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, and 53 remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the 54 Steve gave me, his respect  for life is the most 55 in my mind.
At twelve I killed a sparrow with a gun. Excited with my 56, I screamed to Steve to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and 57 the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark? “ I didn't know what to answer. He continued with his eyes 58. "The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is 59 it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.

Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary
  It’s not all that hard to build an advanced and large vocabulary. Like many things in life, it’s   61  ongoing process, and the best part of the process is that there’s enough room for improvement,   62  means you’ll just keep getting better and better. Of course you have to work at it. You wouldn’t think that a few   63   (month) of exercise in your teens would be enough   64   the rest of your life, and that’s also true for building your vocabulary----you have to keep at it daily, and pretty soon you will find that you have an excellent vocabulary.
   One of the   65   (effect) ways to build vocabulary is to read good books. You need to   66  (real)read at least one good book a week, preferably a classic. This isn’t as hard as it   67  (sound), and it is far better than any other method because you improve your vocabulary while   68  (read) an interesting piece of literature. Another nice thing is that you learn both new words and   69  (they)use unconsciously, meaning that you will tend to use the words   70  (learn)this way in conversations almost automatically.

Yesterday I read a story about a group of explorer who got lost in a desert. The sun was burning hot and
everyone quickly ran out water. Later, the group’s leader took out the water bottle and said, “I found a bottle of water in my bag. But until we pass through the desert, anybody is allowed to drink it.” The bottle was passing around the members of the team; it felt heavily. Finally, the explorers made it out of the desert. With tears of joy, they had opened the bottle, but out poured sand. Was it a bottle of sand which really saved them in the desert? The answer was no. Their deep faith in the hope of survive, like a seed, had taken root and grown in their hearts. That was how led them out of the terrible situation in the end.

Dear Mr. Hall,
   I’m writing to invite you to come to my home to celebrate the Spring Festival on January 19. It’s traditionally a time for family reunion, so my parents and my brother will all be there.

If you’re able to come, I’ll go and pick you up at your place.
Best wishes!                                                       
Yours, Li Hua
