第1题：
The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms．"She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt．" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters． Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance．
We try to obtain information about others in many ways． Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on．
Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly
changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise． You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him． If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions． It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior． Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e． g． secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e． g． disclosures and truthful statement)．
?We may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him because__________．A.we don't accept the idea that we might never fully know another person
B.we often get information in a casual and inexact way
C.we pay more attention to other people's motivations and emotions
D.we often have face-to-face conversation with him答案：B解析：由第三段可知，我们可能认识一个人十年了但是还对他所知甚少，“because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise”因为我们获取信息的方式通常是不准确的，B项是对imprecise的同义转述。 -

Passage Four
Ideasabout polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies,such asAmerica and Australia,for example,are mobile and veryopen.People here change jobs and move house quiteoften.As a m result,they have a lot of relationships that often last only mashort time,and they need to get to know people quickly.So it′s normal to havefriendly conversations with people that they have just met,and you can talk aboutthings that other cultures would regard as personal.
On the other hand,there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-termrelationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person,for example,willwant to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to startbusiness.But when you do get to know each other,the relationship becomes muchdeeper than it would in a mobile society.
To Americans,both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal atfirst.On the other hand,as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it,it′s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you allabout his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don′t want to answer.
Cross-cultural differences aren′t just a problem for travelers,but also for people in daily life.Some societies have"universalist′′cultures.These societies strongly respect rules,and they treat every personand situation in basically the same way."Particularist"(强调特性的)societies also have rules,but they are less important than thesociety′s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particularsituation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit theneeds of the situation or the importance of the person.
What can be learned fromParagraph 1?A.People from a mobile society disliketalking about personal affairs.
B.Short-term relationships are common ina mobile society.
C.Americans tend to make more friendsthan people from other cultures.
D.It is difficult for Americans andAustralians to?communicate with strangers.答案：B解析： -
第4题：
Five ways to make conversation with anyone Conversations are links,which means when you have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link.You meet new people every day:the grocery worker,the cab driver,new people at work or the security guard at the door.Simply starting a conversation with them will form a link.Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.41.____________Suppose you are in a room with someone you don’t know and something within you says“I want to talk with this person”—this is something the mostly happens with all of us.You wanted to say something—the first word—but it just won’t come out.It feels like it is stuck somewhere,I know the feeling and here is my advice just get it out.Just think:that is the worst that could happen?They won’t talk with you?Well,they are not talking with you now!I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow.So keep it simple:“Hi”,“Hey”or“Hello”—do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can,put on a big smile and say“Hi”。42.____________It’s a problem all of us face:you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with and you want to make this talk memorable.Honestly,if we got stuck in the rut of“hi”,“hello”,“how are you?”and“what’s going on?”you will fail to give the initial jolt to the conversation that’s can make it so memorable.So don’t be afraid to ask more personal questions.Trust me,you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.43.____________When you meet a person for the first time,make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point.When you start conversation from there and then move outwards,you’ll find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.44.____________Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone,and if you ask for their attention you get the response“I can multitask”.So when someone tries to communicate with you,just be in that communication wholeheartedly.Make eye contact,you can feel the conversation.45.____________You all came into a conversation where you first met the person,but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their name.Isn’t that awkward!So remember the little details of the people you met or you talked with;perhaps the places they have been to the place they want to go,the things they like,the thing the hate—whatever you talk about.When you remember such thing you can automatically become investor in their wellbeing.So the feel a responsibility to you to keep that relationship going.That’s it.Five amazing ways that you can make conversation with almost anyone.Every person is a really good book to read,or to have a conversation with!45选？A.Just say it
B.Be present
C.Pay a unique compliment
D.Name,places,things
E.Find the“me too”s
F.Skip the small talk
G.Ask for an opinion答案：E解析：第一句话就提到了忘记只见过一面的人的名字“name”。“So”后面又提到回忆地点“places”和好恶的事情“things”等细节，所以选E：Name，places，things -

Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends.She probably goes to sleep______.
A: on curled up
B: on her stomach
C: on her back
D: on her side答案：B解析：整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征，外在的和内在的，说明和科学有关。
跟据文章第一段中“The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.”可知应该是开始睡的时候。
由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知，保护自己不受到伤害，那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
由文章中的第二段到第五段可知。 -

问答题At present, people obtain most of their information from news reporting. However, some people think that we should not believe what journalists report. What is your opinion? What qualities do you think a journalist should have? Write a composition of about 400 words on this topic. In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
Currently, news reporting is one of the major channels by which people become informed of various affairs around the globe. However, some people believe that the journalists who furnish the reports do not deserve any trust. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint for the following reasons.
Firstly, many journalists fabricate sensational incidents in order to make themselves eye-catching and prominent. Reporters, like many people in other occupations, now feel the fierce competition in their own circle. Consequently, some of them, to survive the competition, deliberately exaggerate or whitewash certain matters to gain the upper hand over their colleagues. Their reports are certainly not dependable.
Secondly, some journalists will say anything to flatter a certain enterprise, as long as they are given a considerable sum of money by the owner of the enterprise in question. Such news people have no respect for their own profession, and will doubtlessly win no trust from their readers.
Thirdly, if a journalist works for a profit-bent mass media, he will find furnishing sensational news stories a must. To increase the circulation of the newspaper or magazine which they work for, or to lure more viewers and listeners for the broadcasting organization where they earn a salary, they have to write something that can attract people. If they want to reach this goal quickly, they find it necessary to make up some parts of their reports or simply invent a news story, which can help them to stir a sensation among people. As the circulation gets bigger, or more people tune in their programs, more advertisers will come. That means a greater profit for their bosses and a higher income for themselves.
Last but not least, some newspersons have no idea of the rule that news should be based rigorously on facts. Sometimes they just pick up some interesting hearsay. And then their active imaginations are brought to bear, so that a touching or enchanting story is mistaken for news. This kind of story can be an entertainment, but can never be taken as something true happening in the world.
All in all, many news reports cannot be counted upon. However, if reporters or journalists strictly abide by their professional requirements and nurture professional qualities, namely being honest, righteous, insightful, and farsighted, and having a strong sense of justice and social responsibility, readers and reporters will have more mutual trust, and the world will surely be a better place.解析：

He is best known for the Cubist movement, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and worked in. I highly appreciate his works like the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Guernica, a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. I began to know him when I was in elementary school. At that time I liked paintings very much and I bought a collection of famous paintings. I saw Picasso’s painting Guernica and was greatly shocked by his talent and profundity. He’s different from other painters and his works are very surreal which leaves you space to imagine the theme of his work. From his painting I can view my life from a new perspective and that is why I appreciate him. He inspires me.解析：

She showed her comedic talents in Love Undercover, in which she played as a fledgling policewoman who investigates the drug dealings by disguising herself as a waitress. But finally she lost her heart to Mob, the son of the leader. She vividly portrayed that funny, even bold young policewoman in this film. I was touched by the scene that when her friends were in danger, she had no regard for her own safety. You know they were in a dangerous situation which somebody would shoot them with a gun. I admire her kind heart and this role is very successful.解析：

问答题Practice 8 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Some people think people have benefited from modern communications technology, but other people think some people have not benefited at all. To what extent do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Daily communication tools make the distance between people shrink. There are various ways such as mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter and E-mail which changes our life from daily life to work style. As for the dramatic and rapid changes, people in all walks of life hold different opinions. Personally, it is a must to be tolerant of the new technological innovations.
It is undeniable that all these high-tech tools can alienate the virtual interpersonal relationship that exists between people. If we want to tell somebody something, we do not have to really see him, and we can send a short message, a E-mail, or leave one on Facebook. Regardless of the convenience, face-to-face conversations are still one of the best ways to understand each other.
High technologies provide us with more choices which can yield higher efficiency, which can be illustrated from three perspectives. Firstly, it is a useful time-saver for people greatly enjoy social life. Social network enable them to spare the trouble of heavy traffic in rush hours when they need to have contact with friends. Secondly, it is also a money-saver. Compared with the high cost of an official visit to someone or some place, chatting on-site or through telephone is much cheaper. If each company has an E-conference system, information sharing should never be a daydream in the era of information. Lastly, and most importantly, with the great help of new inventions, people may communicate with others without being limited to geographical difference. Namely, no matter where one stays, he or she can get in touch with people on the Internet at any time.
In summary, modem technologies are excellent assistants of our life and work, so it is wise to accept them and make full use of them properly.解析： 暂无解析 -

It was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens which included businessmen and financiers, as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day, because they wanted to set up a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. It is on the eastern edge of Central Park, along ‘Museum Mile’ in New York City, United States. Its permanent collection contains more than two million works of art. The main building is one of the world’s largest art galleries which was often called ‘the Met’ which maintains extensive holdings of African, Asian, Oceanic, Byzantine, and Islamic art. For example, I came across an Islamic art exhibition when I was there. Besides, there is also a much smaller location, which features medieval art, at ‘The Cloisters’ in Upper Manhattan. Represented in the permanent collection are works of art from classical antiquity and Ancient Egypt, paintings and sculptures from nearly all the European masters.解析： 暂无解析 -
第19题：
问答题Some believe that people should never be satisfied with what they have and should always strive for something new and different, but there are also people who believe that those who constantly feel satisfied tend to be happy. What is your opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:Does satisfaction bring happiness? In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
Does satisfaction bring happiness? Usually people are unhappy because they are not satisfied with what they have got. But do you think they will be happy if they are satisfied with what they have achieved? This seems a tricky question. Some believe that satisfaction brings happiness, but some believe that dissatisfaction can bring a happy life. If we mean by happiness is continuous improvement of human life, then it is dissatisfaction that brings happiness.
To begin with, dissatisfaction can motive personal development. As human society has been developing at an ever increasing speed since the industrial revolution, people find that there is more and more room to better their life. If they are unhappy with the education they have received, they will try to study on. If they are unhappy with their present jobs, they will try to find one that suits them better. And if they are unhappy with their relationship with others, they will try to improve it or find a better one. Therefore, dissatisfaction encourages people to seek life of a better quality rather than stay with the present one, and this process constitutes their development.
Besides helping individuals to develop, dissatisfaction can also promote the continuous development of the whole society. Common sense tells us that there cannot be a perfect society, therefore, if a society is satisfied with itself, it only means that it is willing to live with its problems. A society with dissatisfaction is in fact one that dislikes problems. It will find and solve the problems, and this will certainly help the society to keep moving forward. We can take China as an example. Chinese people used to believe that satisfaction brings happiness, but they had actually been living a very hard life before the 1980s. The reform and opening-up policy was adopted in the 1980s just because the Chinese were no longer satisfied with the society at that time. Facts show that the change of mentality has brought about thorough changes to the society.
Last but not least, dissatisfaction has also been a driving force of human civilization as a whole. It is reasonable to say that in the primitive society, science came into being because the ancestors were not satisfied with their understanding of the world, and technology came into being because they were not satisfied with working purely with their hands. The curiosity and desire has in fact led to the prosperity of science and technology in later times. Similarly, in the artistic world, new propositions and practices keep emerging because people are not pleased with the existing ways in expressing their feelings and emotions.
To sum up, dissatisfaction has played a vital role in the development of individuals, the whole society as well as human civilization. Although too much dissatisfaction may be harmful, a proper sense of dissatisfaction can be very beneficial. When everybody is pleased with what they have, the world will stop moving forward, which virtually means the end of humankind.解析：
题目中的happiness是一个很模糊的概念，每个人可能都有自己的理解。在引言段中，作者在通过问题引出话题后，先给出“幸福”的定义才明确自己的观点，这样全文的讨论就有了比较坚实的基础。引言段的问题提得自然到位，既抓住了读者的心理，又点出了文章的中心议题。文章的正文段从个人、社会、人类文明三个角度阐述了不满的重要性。这三个要点不仅范围从小到大展开，议题也是从具体到抽象逐步深入。从论据上看，除了逻辑推理外，作者还用了中国社会的发展作例子，具有较好的说服力。文章结论段简洁明了。作者用一个句子做总结，然后用本讨论话题的意义作最终评论。 -

单选题阅读理解：请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项。 How We Form First Impression。 We all have first impression of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her - aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits? The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits. Even very minor difference in how a person’s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information - the sights and sounds of your world. These incoming signals are compared against a host of “memories” stored in the brain areas called the cortex(皮质) system to determine what these new signals “mean”. If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe”. If you see someone new, it says, “new and potentially threatening”. Then your brain starts to match features of this strangers with other “known” memories. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “This is new, I don’t like this person” Or else, “I’m intrigued(好奇的)”. Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures - like your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person”. But these preliminary impressions can be dead wrong. When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people - their history, interest, values, strengths, and true character - we categorize them as jocks(骗子), peeks(反常的人), or freaks(怪人). However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of our cortex, which allow us to be humane. If you meet a stranger with familiar gestures, your brain is most likely to say_______.A“He is familiar and safe.”
B“He is new and potentially threatening.”
C“I like this person.”
D“This is new, I don’t like this person.”
正确答案： B解析： 译文：如果你碰到一个带有你熟悉特征的陌生人，你的大脑很有可能和你说？
按照顺序，在往后的段落里找，题干部分有关键信息，而且是限定了条件，是a stranger with familiar gestures（具有熟悉特征的陌生人）因此在原文中可以找到相关的信息：your brain may perceive a new face（stranger的替换形式） but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures （题干部分的关键信息）- like your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person”（找出答案）. But these preliminary impressions can be dead wrong.
