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。
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 exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we’re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.”
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person, we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of
how you’re sitting—it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy
people—otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley. “When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”

A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.
Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers in a good state?
All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustration (沮丧)into the open. People who have a row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.
If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill in more fun, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible“Let not the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)”is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.
1. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?
A. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.
B. The cause of stress is worthy of serious study.
C. Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.
D. People who can’t accept a different living standard are less likely to suffer from stress.
2. Judging from the text, the underlined word “row”in the third paragraph most probably means______.
A. a noisy quarrel
B. a boat journey
C. a good relationship
D. a cured disease
3. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?
A. Changing our jobs.
B. Changing our attitude about little things that make us unpleased.
C. Speaking out about our frustrations.
D. Reading the Bible.
4. “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath”probably means______.
A. Don’t let your anger last long
B. Don’t get angry even though the sun is going down
C. Something important that disturbs us is worth an hour’s anger
D. Watch the sunset while you are angry

6—10 AABDB 11—15 CACDB 16—20 ACABD 1. C seat
解析：关键名词就在后面waiting room。这个词break有可能选，可是break之前必然要很紧张才行，这里老汉没有紧张。 2. D telling
解析：护士对一个老汉能做的动作，最符合逻辑的是telling，告知。 promising 表示许诺，有可能选，再看宾语就可以够排除，at least 40 minutes 没有一个许诺是这样子的，我保证你至少要等四十分钟，不是许诺这是诅咒。 3. B before
解析：在医生诊断他之前要等待。 4. C look at
解析：看动作的发出者，一个焦急的老汉会做的动作，肯定是look at 看腕表这个选项。
5. D not
解析：按照上下文，这里不需要副词来表示程度，只是肯定和否定的含义。 6. A turn up
解析：词组，表示“出现”的意思。这里要注意破折号表示解释说明，我不是很忙，因为我的病人在appointed hour 里面没有出现。appoint 这个词除录用的意思，还有约时间的意思。B. show off 是“炫耀”的意思。
7. A needed
解析：考察动词搭配，用排除法。B forget是“忘记”，他忘记了归去用饭这样的事情，不算一个appointment。C agree to do是“同意做某件事情”，在文中没人提要求，所以不存在同意不同意。D happen to do“可巧做某事”。 8. B wife
解析：名词找重复，这里重复再后面，刚做的时候放一放，第五段的第一句出现了marriage,表示他们俩曾经有一段，那么选妻子这个选项。 9. D there
解析：she had been there 表示的是她已经在那个nursing home 里面有一段时间了，有难度，其他几个选项的中文意思比较模棱两可， A. late 要迟到的是老头子，不是他妻子。 B. well 她妻子身体很健康。 C.妻子曾经在他身旁。 10. B worried
解析：按照词义辨析。lonely“孤独的”，worried 是“焦虑的，担忧的”的意思，doubtful“怀疑的”，hungry“饥饿的”。
11. C no longer
解析：结合后文，49空那句话给出了很好的对应。neither 表示否定2者。 12. A recognize
解析：之前见过，此刻认不出来。 13. C surprised
解析：表示惊讶。选项moved干扰度比较大，需要对全文的态度进行把握，文中进行到这里并无很明显的作者的正面态度出现，证据就在于他的那个问句：你知道她不熟悉你，仍是天天早上要去陪她？这句话显然不是一个正面态度的表现，而真正的态度转正的地方在倒数第二段，他忍住泪水，所以这里不能选moved这个表示正面态度的词语。
14. D still
解析：表示状态的持续，B. then 表示时间前后，C. thus 表示因果。 15. B tear
解析：关键在前面的动词hold back忍住，忍归去。忍归去的只有泪水。 16. A realize
解析：realize表示主观意识到。 17. C acceptance
解析：真爱就是对于所有一切的接受。本题点明了文章的主旨，老人无论妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃，所以是接受了一切，无论好坏。 18. A necessarily
解析：这个词的意思是必腹地，这句话的意思是最幸福的人并非必然是一个拥有所有最好东西的人。 19. B make
解析：考查动词和名词的搭配， make the best of充分利用，就是说他们可以没有最好的东西，可是他们充分利用了他们所拥有的东西。C选项favor 不能选，因为表示的意思是偏好，在这里没有比较爱人认得你仍是不认得你，所以不选。 20. D Life
解析：生活并非是要经历暴风雨，而是要学会苦中作乐。
