You’re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns（打哈欠)。

Suddenly，you’re yawning with him, though you're not tired。

This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans。

Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious（有感染力的）yawning，which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.Hugo Critchley，a neuroscientist，has conducted an experiment recently，which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley，our mind and body are in constant exchan ge about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal（内部的) responses，” he explained。

湖南长沙市（芙蓉区）2016高考英语二轮阅读理解能力演练题（3）【阅读理解】For those who study the development of intelligence (智力) in the animal world，self­awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware (意识) of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans，and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins，have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirrorself­r eflection test.“We thought that elephants were the next important animal，”said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B. M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains，Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”The researchers tested Happy. Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They put an 8­foot­square mirror on a wall of the animals' play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it，and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test，in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said，“We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.”文章通过实验说明能意识到自身形象的动物具有高智商。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girl’s parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her. Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the indifference of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have boiled with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are recognized to be affecting society’s values.On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose. Some have linked the absence of good models to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.1. What happened to the two-year-old girl?A. Nobody helped her after she was struck by two different vans.B. She died immediately after she was hit a second time.C. An old trash collector saved her and attracted her mother’s attention.D. Journalists from TVS captured her story by using a camera.2. From the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?A. The public would feel proud of him/ her and showed love and respect for him/ her.B. He/she would be awarded by the government.C. He/she would be condemned by the public.D. He/she would have to worry about legal responsibility.3 In recent years, society’s values are believed to be affected by________.A. people’s awarenessB. the indifference of bystandersC. profit and materialismD. the morals of society4. Where is the article probably taken from?A. A news report.B. A fashion magazine.C. A science fiction.D. An education column.参考答案1—4、CACA阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I. Q. , a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or, shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary know-ledge of her field. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking anderror-focused. By practising in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she cancall upon in order to understand or solve future problems.The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.1. The passage mainly deals with .A. the function of I. Q. in cultivating a writerB. the relationship between genius and successC. the decisive factor in making a geniusD. the way of gaining some sense of distinction2. By reading novels and wri ters’ stories, the girl could.A. come to understand the inner structure of writingB. join a fascinating circle of writers somedayC. share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security3. In the girl’s long painstaking training process, .A. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her successB. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performanceC. she acquires the magic of some great achievementsD. she comes to realize she is “hard-wired” to write4. What can be concluded from the passage?A. A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in one’s success.B. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.C. As to the growth of a genius, I. Q. doesn’t matter, but just his/her efforts.D. What really matters is what you do rather than who you are.【参考答案】1—4、CABD2016高考模拟题。

Most young architects—particularly those in big cities—can only dream about working in a building of their own。

And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want，which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner,Brian Bell。

Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta。

From the outside,it looks too old，even something horrible,but open the door and you are in a wide，open courtyard,lined on three sides with rusting （生锈的）walls。

In 2000，Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End。

Built in 1947，the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down。

But the price was right，so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆除)，pulling rubbish out through the roof,because it was too dangerous to go inside the building。

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert(警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计)more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requi res improvement to the nation’s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through c ell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies—is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats”, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings.The third would be reserved for child abduction(绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.The service could be in place by 2010.1. What is the purpose of the approved plan?A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.B. To popularize the use of cell phones.C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.D. To promote the wireless industry.2. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of .A. CTIAB. the Warning Alert and Response Network ActC. FCCD. federal regulators3. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by.A. the US federal governmentB. mobile phone usersC. the carriers themselvesD. the law of the United States4. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?A. They must accept the alert service.B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.C. They must send the alerts to others.D. They may choose the types of messages.5. An alert message will NOT be sent if .A. a child loses his wayB. a university shooting happensC. a natural disaster happensD. a terrorist attack occurs6.

Friends play an important part in our lives，and althoughwe may take the friendship for granted，we often don’t clearlyunderstand how we make friends.While we get on well with anumber of people，we are usually friends with only a few.Forexample，the average among students is about 6 per person.In all the cases of friendly relationships，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly.As we get to know people，we take into account things like age，race，economic conditions，social position，and intelligence.Although these factors are not of great importance，it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs，the same opinions and interests.They often talk about “being_on_the_same_wavelength”.It generally takes time to reach this point.And the more intimately involved people become，the more they depend on one another.People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to stand differences.In contrast with marriage，there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen it between two people.But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and feelings does seem to create a powerful bond，which can overcome differences in background，and break down barriers of age，class or race.1.According to the passage，________.A.friends are those who must share their interestsB.friends are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC.all the people know how to make friendsD.every student has six friends2.We can learn from the passage that________.A.there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipB.friendship can overcome all differences between two peopleC.difference in opinion can lead to friendshipD.friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices3.The underlined words “being on the same wavelength” in Paragraph 2 mean that people________.A.watch the same TV programsB.are the same in all waysC.have the same backgroundD.share the same way of thinking and the same interests4.Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?A.Even friends may have different opinions.B.Friends never argue with each other.C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D.Someone’s habits may annoy his frien ds.阅读心得：1.Mr.Fogg and his servant travelled in many different ways，even on an elephant at one time.(完形填空最后一段倒数第四句)福格先生和他的仆人以许多不同方式进行旅行，他们甚至曾骑过大象。
