No matter what you answer, you are partially right.A recent Gallup Poll show that both man and women believe that women possess the gift of talking and some even believe women are biologically built for conversation, but all of this is challenged in research published in the November issue of “Personality and Social Psychology Review”.In recent research by Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres, they collected all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combined the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness.They found a small but reliable tendency for men to be more talkative than women in certain cases, such as when they were conversing with their wives or with strangers. Women talked more to their children and to their college classmates.The type of speech was also explored in the research. The researchers discovered that, with strangers, women were generally more talkative when it came to using speech to ensure her connection to the listener, while men’s speech focused more on an attempt to influence the listener. With close friends and family, however, there was very little difference between genders in the amount of speech.46. This passage mainly talks about research conducted by ___________.A. Gallup PollB. “Personality and social Psychology Review”C. Campbell Leaper and Melanie AyresD. The author47. According to the passage which statement is true?A. Women are born to be good at conversation.B. Women are more talkative than men.C. Women are more talkative than men when they converse with their close friends.D. Women are less talkative than men in certain cases.48. Which of the following statements describes the main idea of the passage?A. Women are born more talkative than men.B. Men are born more talkative than womenC. Women and men are talkative in different cases.D. Women are no more talkative than men.49. The underlined word “gender” in Paragraph 1 means ________.A. peopleB. nationalityC. cultureD. sex50. Talking with strangers, _____________.A. women are more talkative than with people they knowB. men are more talkative than with their wivesC. women prefer to listen more rather than speak moreD. men speak a lot to have their opinions acceptedBLocal businessmen are increasingly facing competition from on line retailers. Larry Pollock, owner of Camera Co/Op on South Congress, said he has been dealing with this kind of problem for years, even before the Internet. The struggle began with mail-order catalogues, which are similar to online retailers in that they have few employees to pay, no sales tax fees and no business venue to lease and manage.“Their overhead is lower, but they don’t offer a service like we do,” Pollock said.Pollock, however, said providing a valuable service to customers does not always guarantee continued sales.“We spend 30 minutes to an hour with somebody and they go home and buy it online,” he said.According to the state comptroller’s office, online shopping is developing at a more rapid rate than traditional businesses.In spite of how fair or unfair online shopping may be to the local businessmen, consumers will continue to turn to the Internet for its variety and accessibility, said Mitch Wilson, an online shopper. “You have a larger selection and it’s easier to compare prices.”Wilson said he built his personal computer and paid a third of the price by shopping online.“Before the Internet, I would have had to go and buy an assembled computer from somebody like Dell,” he said. “Before I started shopping online I could never find all the pieces I wanted. No single store had everything needed, so shopping online saved me from having to buy from Dell.”Janny Brazeal, a psychology freshman, said online shopping is too impersonal.“I’d rather see it in person, touch it, know that I’m getting it,” she said.Brazeal also said she would not give out her credit card number or other personal information online no matter how safe the site claims it is.51. Larry Pollock has been facing the problem __________.A. before longB. after the InternetC. since there were mail-order cataloguesD. since he worked as a businessman52. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?A. Traditional business can provide valuable services to customersB. People can get cheaper goods from traditional businessC. More and more people will turn to the Internet for their needsD. There are still many people who don’t like on-line shopping53. More people like online shopping because _________.A. the consumers can easily compare a variety of goods on lineB. it’s easy for consumers to get what they wantC. it’s cheaper to buy what they need from on-line retailersD. all above54. Mitch Wilson prefers to build his personal computer by shopping on line because _________.A. he can easily get what he needs at a lower priceB. he can not get the price at traditional businessmanC. he is not satisfied with the service of local businessmanD. the quality of Dell is not satisfying55. Why doesn’t Jenny Brazeal like to buy things on line?A. She is not sure about the quality of the goods on lineB. She doesn’t like to give her personal information to othersC. She can’t use the computerD. She doesn’t know what she is going to buyCKincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20.Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called “memory snapshots.” The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much ofthe time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. “I must get a dog then.” He said to himself.Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it’s possible to be – an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty–two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.His long absences – two or three months sometimes – were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague (not clear) sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn’t when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and, she was gone. The note read, “Robert, it didn’t work out, I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch.”He didn’t stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.56. Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?A. Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – U.S Route 2 – DuluthB. U.S. Route 2 – Bellingham – Washington 11 – Puget Sound – U.S Route 20 – DuluthC. U.S. Route 2 – U.S Route 20 – Duluth – Bellingham – Washington 11D. Bellingham – Washington 11 –U.S. Route 2 –U.S Route 20 –Duluth57. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. Kincaid’s parents wer e dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.B. Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn’t been away from home too much.C. Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.D. Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.58. Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?A. To write “memory snapshots”.B. To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.C. To avoid forgetting the way back.D. To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.59. What can you know about Marian?A. She died after five years of marriage.B. She was older than Kincaid.C. She could sing very well and earned big money.D. She was not a professional pop singer.60. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that _____A. Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid.B. Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian.C. It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid’s absence and left him.D. After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

A“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flig ht to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything,” the ancient Greek philosopher Plato said.This is one of Don Spencer’s favorite mottos that he firmly believes. “We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy,” Spenc er says, “But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is good for memory skills.”The power of musicMuch research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word.Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and math’s levels.Not in the curriculumResearch from Australia shows it’s not that smart kids play music; it’s that music makes kids smarter. It supports Spencer’s call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and Math.“Music is everywhere, but not at 75 percent of public schools around Australia who don't have a devoted music teacher,” Spencer says. “It's sad that many children don’t have access to formal musical education, particularly when it has such an effect on a child’s development.”Ideally, Spencer would like every child to le arn an instrument. “Kids can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica,” Spencer says. He says the Internet has a lot of free videos which teach you how to play instruments.“I can't stress enough how important music is,” he says. “It builds relationships, unites people and, most importantly, it is fun.”21.

What might be the best title for the passage?A. When Music is TaughtB. Why Music MattersC. Why We Learn InstrumentsD. How Children Learn MusicBGood manners are important, but you can easily make a social blunder when you visit a foreign country, because sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.Suppose you visit some friends in Mongolia and they ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like your food. But in some other countries, if you give a loud “burp”, you are supposed to say, “Excuse me, please.”In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. When you are visiting a friend, he may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.If you visit a friend in Arabia you should walk behind other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of other tents, you will be asked into each one. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners help people show that they want to be friends.24. People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in______.A. MongoliaB. an East African townC.

There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare(仪式上的短曲); there are weddings on mountain tops with guests barefooted; there have been weddings on the ocean floorwith o xygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs.Before a couple is married, they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most exciting moment.The wedding itself usually lasts between 30 and 40 minutes. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march is played. The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father who will “give her away”. The groom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar, the bride and groom exchange vows(誓言). It is traditional to use the words “to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, t o love and to cherish, till death do us part.” Following the vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding rings on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.After the ceremony, there is often a party, called a “reception” which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the new couple.The car in which the couple leaves the church is decorated with balloons. The words “Just Married” are painted on the trunk or back window. And then the couple go in their honeymoon.27.
