江西省白鹭洲中学-度高一英语3月月考考试卷

江西省高一月考英语试卷真题及答案BFluency(流利) in another language is one of the most important aims of a newcomer to another country. In addition, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first stage of learning. It usually involves(含包) things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first stage, This is challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call “culture” is hard to see.Culture is like an iceberg. Picture in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the tip. You don’t see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep within the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.When you meet someone from another culture，certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes andsometimes physical characteristics of people. You observe new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They are visible so they are seen easily and quickly.The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions(设想), communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture affects much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal (言语的) and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves becoming aware of the hidden part of culture.61.What’s the subject of this passage?A. Learning about culture.B. Language learning.C. The hidden part of the iceberg.D. Fluency in another language.62.What is learning about culture?A. Learning the hidden part of the iceberg, which is underwater.B. Learning everyday activities and some basic customs.C. Learning the culture of an iceberg.D. Learning the visible as well as the hidden differences of culture.63.What’s the writer’s opinion?A. Communication styles can be easily seen and learned.B. Language learning is more important than culture learning.C. Learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time.D. People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months.64.The underlined phrase “consists of” can be replaced by “______”.A. lies inB. is made up ofC. agrees withD. is different from65.What conclusion can we draw after reading this passage?A. Values and beliefs are like the tip of the iceberg.B. People often become aware of the hidden part of culture.C. The tip of the iceberg is larger than the hidden part.D. The hidden part of culture has a great effect on people’s communication styles.CHow hard we have all prayed(祈祷) to grow up quickly, and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have.At last, you have grown up. At least you are no longer a child. They call you “young lady”. You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady. You are proud of being a grown-up teenager. People welcome you-this young lady-heartily. You are glad that your prayer has been answered.But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say; “Papa and Mama, give me some money please. My pocket money is all gonealready.”“No”, they say, “your age is a dangerous age. If you have too m uch money to spend, it won’t do you any good.” Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket.Another time you tell your grandma, “Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.”“Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me while I go and have a rest.” To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work, which only a grown-up can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give the knitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes your work. You hear what she says, “Such a big girl can’t do such easy work.” You wish then you were a child again.But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can’t help it. That’s the way it goes!66.The passage is told about _______ problems.A. a growing-up boy’sB. a teenage girl’sC. an old woman’sD. a grown-up’s67.It is clear that the writer, as a teenager, ________.A. is pleased with the present lifeB. is unhappy about growing upC. doesn’t think her, present life happy enoughD. knows happy life will come to her soon68.How does she know her prayer has been answered?A. People treat her as a young lady.B. She is no longer a kid.C. People begin to call her teenager.D. She can join women in all kinds of activities.69.From what her parents say, we know _________.A. they don’t believe she is already a teenagerB. it’s dangerous for a girl to spend moneyC. they love her more than beforeD. they still regard her as a child70.Having heard her grandma’s criticism, _________.A. she has to lie in bed, doing nothingB. she knows she has already worked the whole afternoonC. she wishes she were not growing upD. she finds it isn’t her tur n to do knittingDAll young people dream of travelling the world. They are restless and very eager to see new sights. However, they have little idea how they would really do it if given the chance. Because their knowledge of geography is quite limited, they seldom know much about the places they wish to visit or how they would get there.Already hundreds of thousands of Chinese student tourists are visiting these places-Wuyi, Lhasa, Lijiang, Dali, Vientiane and Phnom Penh. Indeed, these students will soon be the most travelled generation in China’s long history. The World Tourist Organization predicts that a quarter of a century from now the number of Chinese tourists going abroad will be twenty times what it is today. The largest percentage of these tourists will visit Southeast Asia. Not all Chinese who travel abroad will be tourists, however. More and more youths are deciding to volunteer their skills in this region; much like their peers in th-e Peace Corps and VSO.Critical thinking skills required include planning for a trip and solving problems after the trip has begun. The focus is on how to read an atlas (地图集) to make travel plans and how to find ways of travelling. An atlas offers a wealth of information about geography and is one way to increase students’awareness of their global environment. Use of an atlas especially addresses the needs of students with different visual and spatial (空间的) learning styles.71.The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.A. all young people wish to travel around the worldB. all young people like to learn the knowledge of geographyC. all young people like travelling but their knowledge of geography is quite limitedD. all young people are aware of the places they are going72. These places, Wuyi, Lhasa, Lijiang, Dali, Vientiane and Phnom Penh, lie in ________.A. ChinaB. EuropeC. VietnamD. Asia73.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The number of Chinese tourists going abroad will be twenty times what it is today in about 25 years.B. The number of Chinese tourists going abroad will be twenty times what it is today in about 10 years.C. Southeast Asia will become the most popular visiting place in the world.D. Young people will be addicted to Internet travelling.74.One w ay to increase students’awareness of their global environment is for them to ________.A. watch TVB. listen to radio newsC. read an atlasD. plan a trip75.The underlined phrase “a wealth of” can be replaced by “_________”.A. a number ofB. a great manyC. a great many ofD. a great deal of第二卷（非选择题满分35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文并回答问题，将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

It was the first time Max had come to my lake house, and we were really looking forward to seeing our dream island.“Lucy. The waves are pretty big today…”“I’m very good at canoeing, Mr. Driscoll,” Max explained eagerly. Max was an amazing athlete who could probably pull a boat with twelve people in it.My dad finally agreed. So minutes later Max and I were sitting in our green canoe, paddles in hand. With great effort, we got to the island quickly.“Lucy… Lucy!”I was overcome by extreme cold. I couldn’t turn around or breathe. The world around me seemed a black abyss(深渊). Slowly but firmly, I felt myself being pulled out of the abyss. I opened my eyes.I saw Max. He was holding my hands in tears, “Thank God, you’re alright.”I realized that I lay on the wet grass river bank. Max told me how the boat had tipped(翻倒) after a large boat passed us, creating waves too big for a small canoe. Then I started to sink. He dragged me to the surface just in time, and then he had to take me to bank, because I was still unconscious.My eyes were filled with tears. I realized the meaning of a true friend that day.56. According to the passage, Lucy and Max planned to ________.A. visit her Dad’s lake houseB. walk around the river bankC. go canoeing with Lucy’s DadD. canoe to their dream island57.

Developing farming skills.C. Keeping their own culture.D. Taking up government jobs.CWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond lears because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future. 64．According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by____.A．diseases and aging B．accidents and warC．accidents and aging D．heart disease and war65．In the author’s opinion, today’s most important advance in technology liesin____.A．medicine B. the Internet C．brain cells D. human organ66．Humans may live longer in the future because_____.A．heart disease will be far away from usB．human brains can decide the final deathC．the basic materials of cells will last foreverD．human organs can be repaired by new medicine67．We can learn from the passage that ______.A．human life will not last more than 1ears in the futureB．humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC．much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD．we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsDI love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops any more. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal(呼吁) to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or ence each.Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don’t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding（资助）medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.68. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______.A. its convenient locationB. its great variety of goodsC. its spirit of goodwillD. its nice shopping environment69. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to ____.A. sell cheap productsB. deal with unwanted thingsC. raise money for patientsD. help a foreign country70. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?A. The operating costs are very low.B. The staff are usually well paid.C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.71. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. What to Buy a Charity Shops.B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.D. The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops.EAfter the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletics have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletics and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in , for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympics will not be taking part.She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thormpson. Born with spine hifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralysed from the waist below. Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not fond of sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back.Indeed, Tanni’s athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games.In 1998, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelonn. Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved her first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.Tanni’s enduring success had been part motivation(动机), part preparation, “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter(短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepar ed for whatever distance I want to see…. I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in . Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing Olympic Games.In spite of ups and downs, she never take her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series of Paralympics- a top lever athletic career covering twodecades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records.What advice does she have for young athletes? “Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and t rain again.”72.

Four cinemas in the UKThe Kinema, LincolnshireIt's a wooden building on the outside and a two﹣screen cinema on the inside, all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village．The Kinema showed its first film in 1922and the first six rows were deckchair （折叠帆布躺椅）．Today, it's more richly decorated．"People come here because it's a fantastic experience, "says manager Philip Jones．"Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special．"The Cube, BristolIt's not really a cinema．It is a not﹣for﹣profit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15years．They are"unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding．"They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt．The Broadway, NottinghamA cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films, which heavily influenced his career choice．Later, he designed the stripy（条纹的） sofas．The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its independent, art house, and DIY spirit．The Broadway also has a right﹣on restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer．The Rex, HertfordshireIt opened to the public in 1938and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK．There's a varied program with different films every night．Hot dogs and popcorn are banned．And a real person answers the phone when you call．People speak very highly of the Rex．So do go, if only once, to see just how a cinema should be run．（1）In Philip Jones'opinion，the Kinema may attract people who________．A.live in the nearby villagesB.are fond of rich decorationsC.are interested in wooden structuresD.want to experience something special．（2）We know from the text that the Broadway________．A.was built in 1960B.owns a restaurantC.is next to a churchD.was designed by Paul Smith．（3）The Cube and the Broadway are similar in the way that both________．A.are non﹣profit cooperativesB.show arty foreign filmsC.offer homemade drinkse stripy sofas．（4）Which of the following has the longest history？________A.The Kinema．B.The Cube．C.The Broadway．D.The Rex．4.Going to college was not optional; In my family, it was just another step toward the American dream.As soon as I graduated, I enrolled（入学）in the English Department of Colorado State University. I went on to earn two scholarships, and membership in the National Honor Society. I truly believed the hard work was worth it.It wasn't until a few months ago that I realized how clueless I was. I had been combing through（梳理）the classifieds（分类广告）when my eyes fell upon my dream job. "National College Magazine looking for writers."Thrilled, I spent the weekend composing a resume（简历）. Needless to say, I was stunned when the interviewer barely took one glance before throwing it aside."No experience," he said flatly.I felt like screaming, "What do you mean, no experience? Look at these grades."I was left to absorb（缓解）the shock of rejection, thinking that nobody ever told me that a4.0 student would be turned down for a job.Didn't all of my hard work count for anything?I see plenty of demands for two years of experience at a print publication, but none requiring extensive knowledge of how to write academic papers. Yet 95% of my energy in school went toward the latter, leaving me little time to devote to anything else. If career preparation is supposed to be the point of college, then why isn't it the focus?Has a college degree just become another societal status（地位）symbol like fancy cars or designer clothes?Given my experience, I feel that a college degree would be a lot more valuable if students were required to get some outside experience to supplement（补充）their in-class knowledge. Instead of requiring four science classes, why not three science classes and an internship（实习期）?In my college career, I took one class that taught me how to write and submit essays for publication. This ever-so-brief taste of the real world was like holding an ice cream sundae （圣代）in front of a child and only giving her a small bite.Well, I'm a big girl. I want my college education—the education I'm paying for—to include everything.（1）The author studied so hard at college mainly because ________.A.her family pushed her to do itB.it was her dream to get a GPA of 4.0C.she relied on scholarships to continue her studiesD.she believed it would lead to career success（2）What does the underlined word "stunned" mean in Paragraph 4?A.shockedB.anxiousC.curiousD.calm（3）What does the underlined sentence in the second-to-last paragraph imply?A.Academic writing is a small part of college life.petition in college is not as fierce as in the real world.C.College education always covers unimportant things.D.The author feels held back by her lack of real-world experience.（4）What does the author want to tell us by writing this article?A.Good grades matter most.B.A college degrees is of no use.C.Career preparation is a necessity for college education.D.College students should make full use of their time.5. IN China, red is known to be a lucky color. But you may be surprised to know that British culture is also full of the color red. It’s true: Go to Britain and you will see red everywhere.There are red postboxes on street corners and on the sides of buildings. The British red phone box is famous all over the world. The famous double-decker (双层) bus is red. Red is the color traditionally worn by British soldiers in battle (战争), and there is red in the UK’s Union Jack national flag. Britain even has a famous team of stunt (特技) jet fighters (喷气式战斗机) called “The Red Arrows”.To go with British culture’s love of red, British nature also features many red animals. A beloved bird is the robin (知更鸟), which has a bright red breast (胸脯). At Christmastime in winter, the bird is commonly found on the greetings cards people send each other. There is also quite a rare animal called the red squirrel (松鼠). Foxes are red, and they used to be hunted by men in red outfits (服装).But is red considered lucky to British people? A good way to see how a culture looks at a color is to look at the way it uses it in language. The results may surprise you. Even though Britain has a lot of red on its high streets and in its countryside, red is used quite differently as a metaphor (比喻). If someone “sees red”, they are angry. When a person is “red faced”, they are out of breath or blushing (脸红). Red is also a political color: it means a left-winger (blue is the color of the political right). To be “in the red” is to be in debt (someone in credit (存款) is “in the black”).Look hard eno ugh and you’ll find the color red being used in all countries. For instance the “red heart” symbol (符号) is pretty universal. But whether the British realize it or not, red is everywhere in Britain. It does seem that the country is in love with the color.（1）The article is mainly about ______.A.the metaphor of red in the English languageB.the preference for red animals in BritainC.the history of red items in BritainD.the color red in British culture（2）Someone saying bad words about you behind your back might make you ______.A.red-facedB.see redC.in the redD.in the black（3）It can be inferred from the article that ______.A.red has different meanings depending on the context (情境)B.the color red is not as popular as it was before in BritainC.most British people are aware of (知道的) how popular the color red is in British cultureD.British people are often asked to explain the meaning of the color red（4）The main purpose of the article is to ______.pareB.judgermD.argue6. FOR thousands of years, Stonehenge has confused visitors with a seemingly unanswerable question: Why would anyone carry so many huge stones across Britain and put them in a ring? It seems even stranger when you think of the fact that it was done by prehistoric people working without modern technology, not even a wheel.Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries. Experts have said at different times that it was a temple, a calendar (日历) or a graveyard (墓地).Yet “all the ideas to date could be mistaken,” said Julian Spalding, a famous art critic (评论家) and former director of some of the UK’s leading museums. “We’ve been looking at Stonehenge the wrong way: from the earth, which is very much a 20th century viewpoint,” he told The Guardian.Spalding has put forward a new theory about Stonehenge in his latest book, Realisation: From Seeing to Understanding. “The current theories about Stonehenge are based on looking across the ground, which is a modern idea,” he writes in his new book. He told The Guardian that in ancient times, spiritual ceremonies didn’t happen on the ground. Prehistoric people believed that in this way they could get closer to the heavens. So Spalding says that “rituals (仪式) at Stonehenge were performed in the same way – not among the stones, but on top of them,” reported The Washington Post.He re-imagines a scene in his book, explaining how the mysterious site was used: Stonehenge held up a large, circular platform (平台). It was a raised altar (圣坛) reached by stairs, and thousands of people might have worshipped (祈祷) there.To support his theory, Spalding lists examples from ancient civilizations worldwide. In China, Peru and Turkey, such sacred (神圣的) monuments (遗迹) were built high up, whether on man-made or natural sites. In an interview with The Washington Post, Spalding said the wood that would have been used for the platform had long since rotted away (腐烂), leaving only the stone pillars (柱子) that supported it behind.So far scholars have had “a fair d egree of skepticism (怀疑)” about these ideas, according to The Huffington Post. Sir Barry Cunliffe, prehistorian and Oxford University archaeology (考古学) professor, said: “He could be right, but I know of no evidence to support it ... There are a large numbe r of stone circles around the country which clearly didn’t have a platform on top. So why should Stonehenge?”（1）What is the article mainly about?A.The history of Stonehenge.B.A new theory about Stonehenge.C.Why Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries.D.How Stonehenge is different from other ancient civilizations.（2）According to Spalding’s theory, Stonehenge ______.A.was a prehistoric calendarB.should be looked at from the earthC.was a raised altar for worshipD.was simply a natural site（3）How does Spalding support his theory about Stonehenge?A.By raising questions.B.By providing related figures.C.By quoting other experts’ research.D.By giving examples from other civilizations.（4）We can infer from the article that Cunl iffe is ______ Spalding’s theory.A.supportive ofB.amazed atC.worried aboutD.doubtful about7.@tencent-doc.page-definitions:{"global":{"height":"841.89pt","width":"595.28pt","marginTop":"72pt","marginLe ft":"40.5pt","marginRight":"45pt","marginBottom":"72pt","shadingType":"none","shadingVa lue":""}} 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容回答问题。

2021年吉安市白鹭洲中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMy mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch even when life separated them.Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several months living with her family inseedymotels.I sensed my mother hid her troubles from most people, but not from Martha, and I knew from my mother that Martha carried her own sorrows. Their willingness to share sorrow without judgment was part of what bond them.The best friendships can also withstand (抵挡) periods without communication. They didn’t communicate a lot — this was before the ease of emails and texts and yet I knew they were always in each other’s minds.One day in 2008, 1 drove my mother to Martha’s house for their final visit. The moment my mother hobbled (蹒跚) into Martha’s house, they threw their arms around each other and went to sit out in the garden, laughing until they were dizzy. I snapped a photo, and spotted something joyous, young and free on my mom, which existed only in the presence of her best friend.Two years later, my mother died. Of all the people I had to tell, Martha was the hardest because I felt it erased her past. After that, we lost touch. But I still think of her and how that friendship strengthened my mother.1. What does the underlined word “seedy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. largeB. dirtyC. urbanD. bright2. The author’s mother and Martha had a lasting friendship partly because they________.A. were willing to shareB. were constantly in touchC. had much in commonD. had a likeness in personality3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell the importance of friendship.B. To express his gratitude to his mother.C. To share his standard of choosing a friend.D. To praise the friendship between Martha and his mother.BIf you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look delighted or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new studyResearchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图像)of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the person's face on images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by random chance.The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.""With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions," Muller toldLive Science.At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them." Muller said.4. The new study focused on whether dogs can_________.A. distinguish shapesB. make sense of human facesC. feel happy or angryD. communicate with each other5. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order.B. Diverse methods were adopted during training.C. Pictures used in the two stages were differentD. The dogs were photographed before the lest.6. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. A suggestion for future studies.B. A possible reason for the study findings.C. A major limitation of the studyD. An explanation of the research method.7. In which section is the text most likely to be found in a newspaper ?A. EntertainmentB. EconomyC. ScienceD. NatureCWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand thatpeople must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”8. What do we know about John？A. He received little love from his family.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.9. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men10. Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.A. recording the boys' effort in schoolB. comparing different sets of scoresC. evaluating the men's mental healthD. measuring the men's problem solving ability11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independenceis the key to one's success.DA teenager in Georgia will no longer have to walk 7 miles to work after school thanks to one woman’s act of kindness.Jayden Sutton, a high school senior, went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then back home.
