(E=AB F=AC G=AD)For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 36 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65-team US men’s college basketb all tournament. 37 Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 38 Colleagues against bosses.Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 39College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 40 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post –season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.第一节:完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 41 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always 42 his success to it.At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 43 to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 44 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to 45 the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 46 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 47 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 48 fake. When he was 49 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 50 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 51 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 52 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 53 . For many times of entry-exit 54 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 55 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 56 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy（劣质的）goods, he would be 57 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 58 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 59 , which he would remember as the 60 of his success forever.41.

）第二部分阅读理解 (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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AI grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through readi ng other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a law student, my reading is in fact limitedto subject matter — the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.21. What can be inferred about the author as a child?A. He never watched TV.B. He read what he had to.C. He found reading unbelievable.D. He considered reading part of his life.22. The underlin ed word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “”.A. an ideaB. a sound qualityC. a way of writingD. a world to write about23. What effect does reading have on the author?A. It helps him to realize his dream.B. It opens up a wider world for him.C. It makes his college life more interesting.D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.24. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A. Why do I read?B. How do I read?C. What do I read?D. When do I read?BThe US plans to extend its endangered species protection to lions in Africa. US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will classify lions in southern and eastern Africa as threatened. The move will place tighter rest rictions on the import of lion “trophies(纪念品)”, such as paws or heads.While the US cannot regulate hunting in other countries the move is significant because around half of all lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans. According to FWS data, more than 5, 600 lions have been killed and imported by American hunters over the past decade.Under the new FWS rules, bringing lion parts to the US will be banned(禁止) in most circumstances if the animal is from a country where lions are endangered. Hunters wi ll have to show the trophies were “legally obtained” from countries that have a scientifically sound management program that benefits the subspecies in the wild.This regulation is expected to place a far greater burden of proof upon hunters who claim that the money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa and the overall conservation of lions. The persistent downward trend in lion numbers, due to habitat loss and huntingby locals and foreign tourists, suggests there has been little conservation(保护) benefit from organized hunts.An international study, published in September, found African lion numbers have decreased by half since 1993, with a further 50% decline expected over the next 20 years for populations in west, central and east Africa.“The lion is one of the planet’s most beloved species and an irreplaceable part of our shared global heritage,” said Dan Ashe, director of the FWS. “If we want to ensure that healthy lion populations continue to wander around the African savannas(大草原) and forests of India, it’s up to all of us—not just the people of Africa and India--to take action.”25. Why is the move of US significant?A. The lions have been killed and imported by American hunters.B. That is due to habitat loss and hunting by locals and foreign tourists.C. Around half of all lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans.D. The money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa .26. Where do most of the lion hunters come from?A. Southern Africa.B. America.C. Eastern Africa.D. India.27. What may be the result of the move?A. The import of lion parts will be strictly limited.B. Lion-hunting will be illegal all over the world.C. communities in Africa will benefit a lot.D. Lion parts will never be legally obtained.28. What does Dan Ashe really want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Almost everybody loves lions.B. It’s everyone’s duty to protect lions.C. Lion populations will increase rapidly.D. Measures must be taken to keep lions fit.COwning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.G hadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”29. What can we conclude from the text?A. All that glitters is not gold.B. It never rains but pours.C. Every coins has two sides.D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.30. The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be rep laced by “________”.A. callingB. reachingC. gettingD. using31. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.B. Nine- tenths spent over three hours checking work emails.C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and8 .am ..32. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Workaholics like smartphones.B. Smartphones bring about extra work.C. Smartphones make our life easier.D. Employers don’t like smartphones.DWhen people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem torecover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things —— to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of re lationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon．33. What have professors from Yale University found in their research?A. The reason why people cry with tears.B. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.C. Strong negative feelings are useful to people.D. People recover slowly from strong emotions.34. Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?A. Crying at good news.B. Crying at a failure.C. Kissing a cute baby.D. Laughing at happy reunions.35. Where does the passage most likely come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. A psychological science journal.C. A popular biology book.D. An adolescent literature book. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

ASam, an unemployed man, said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life. The first thing was a blanket at a church raffle(抽奖) when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube(骰子), a state lottery(彩票) game. To win, a contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables(变量) is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money. Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a tough decision.Finally, Sam flipped(翻转) a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car.Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month. His hospital bill was $110,000. And the insurance company for the little sports car's owner sued(起诉) Sam for $9,000 worth of repairs. Also, Sam still has to pay taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn't play the state lottery any more. He says it's better to be unlucky.21.Sam won the blanket ________ years ago.A. 25B. 60C. 35D. 7622.Sam won the lottery because ______.A. he was luckyB. he was good at mathC. he was smartD. he was tough23.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The lottery game was a complete lie.B. Sam was quite familiar with the boy.C. The owner of the car is now in hospital.D. Sam will have none of the prize money left.24.Sam’s experience shows that ______A. everything has its time and that time must be watched.B. he who risks nothing, gains nothing.C. everything comes to him who waits.D. he who laughs on Friday will weep on Sunday.BWe were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this place in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of the twisting, turning st reets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me t o this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（喷溅出）“ The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.25.The writer’s fa ther took her to the top of a church tower to ________.A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole townB. find out how many ways lead to the squareC. inspire her to find out another way to solve her problemD. help her forgot some unpleasant things earlier that day26.What did the writer want her mother to do earlier that day?A. Do something delicious for lunch.B. Taste her bad lunch.C. Dismiss the mad cook.D. Speak to the school about lunch.27.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 means?A. The cook agreed to serve the soup to Mother.B. The matter of lunches was effective.C. Her father persuaded her mother successfully.D. The way the author thought of was successful.28.By sharing her own experience, the writer tried to tell us________.A. when one road was stopped, we should try anotherB. how bad the lunches of her school wereC. how wise her father wasD. about the church tower near her homeCIn early summer, one of the most popular fruit is strawberry(草莓). It is said strawberry is the "Queen of fruit" as it has many nutritious elements. But many people feel that the strawberry in the current market tastes different as many strawberries are artificially(人工地) grown and some even have a scent of pesticides(杀虫剂). So finding naturally-grown strawberries is a hot issue. There are some places where you can not only find tasteful strawberries, but also enjoy picking them.Tianxing Strawberry- Picking GardenAs one of the biggest strawberry-growing areas, Tianxing is known for its healthy fruits. The strawberries here are pesticide-free with no artificial coloring. And now the farm has a special offer that you can get a kilogram of strawberries for only 12 yuan. Here, visitors can have fun picking strawberries as well as taste their freshness. And if you are a newcomer, you can get a discount card and enjoy an extra 20 percent discount on your purchase.

The strawberries here are much cheaper than those sold in markets. It only costs 6 yuan per kilogram.You can also buy freshly-picked lettuce and Tonghao, a green ve getable. You can have fun picking strawberries in person, but you can’t taste them for free.

People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet sodas. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler.The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.While the findings are surprising, they also offer some explanations.Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they don't lose weight at all. “We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers.So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet，but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so over-compensate(弥补) for the missing calories.A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at School of Medicine of the University of Texas. “They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”33.People drink diet sodas to________.A. enjoy its tasteB. stay in fashionC. achieve weight lossD. gain more energy34.We can learn from the passage that________.A. regular sodas make people lose more weightB. diet soda drinkers tend to eat more foodC. diet sodas do help reduce caloriesD. most blood diseases come from diet sodas35.T he underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to“________”.A. sweetenersB. diet sodas and artificial sweetenersC. sodasD. diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

）23第二部分 阅读理解 (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，从每题所给的四个选项(A 、B 、C 和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AI grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the wr iters he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover wha t works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all t he clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travelacrossthe high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn’t necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.21. What can be inferred about the author as a child?A. He never watched TV.B. He read what he had to.C. He found reading unbelievable.D. He considered reading part of his life.22. The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “”.A. an ideaB. a sound qualityC. a way of writingD. a world to write about23. What effect does reading have on the author?A. It helps him to realize his dream.B. It opens up a wider world for him.C. It makes his college life more interesting.D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.24. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A. Why do I read?B. How do I read?C. What do I read?D. When do I read?BThe US plans to extend its endangered species protection to lions in Africa. US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) will classify lions in southern and eastern Africa as threatened. The move will place tighter rest rictions on the import of lion “trophies(纪念品)”, such as paws or heads.While the US cannot regulate hunting in other countries the move is significant because around half of all lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans. According to FWS data, more than 5, 600 lions have been killed and imported by American hunters over the past decade.Under the new FWS rules, bringing lion parts to the U S will be banned(禁止) in most circumstances if the animal is from a country where lions are endangered. Hunters will have to show the trophies were “legally obtained”from countries that have a scientifically sound management program that benefits the4subspecies in the wild.This regulation is expected to place a far greater burden of proof upon hunters who claim that the money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa and the overall conservation of lions. The persistent downward trend in lion numbers, due to habitat loss and hunting by locals and foreign tourists, suggests there has been little conservation(保护) benefit from organized hunts.An international study, published in September, found African lion numbers have decreased by half since 1993, with a further 50% decline expected over the next 20 years for populations in west, central and east Africa.“The lion is one of the planet’s most beloved species and an irreplaceable part of our shared global heritage,” said Dan Ashe, director of the FWS. “If we want to ensure th at hea lthy lion populations continue to wander around the African savannas(大草原) and forests of India, it’s up to all of us—not just the people of Africa and India--to take action.”25. Why is the move of US significant?A. The lions have been killed and imported by American hunters.B. That is due to habitat loss and hunting by locals and foreign tourists.C. Around half of all lion hunting in Africa is conducted by Americans.D. The money from lion hunting has been used to help communities in Africa .26. Where do most of the lion hunters come from?A. Southern Africa.B. America.C. Eastern Africa.D. India.27. What may be the result of the move?A. The import of lion parts will be strictly limited.B. Lion-hunting will be illegal all over the world.C. communities in Af rica will benefit a lot.D. Lion parts will never be legally obtained.28. What does Dan Ashe really want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Almost everybody loves lions.B. It’s everyone’s duty to protect lions.C. Lion populations will increase rapidly.5D. Measures must be taken to keep lions fit.COwning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found th at Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent respondin g to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third acce ssing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their no rmal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made sma rtphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”29. What can we conclude from the text?A. All that glitters is not gold.B. It never rains but pours.C. Every coins has two sides.D. It’s no good cr ying over spilt milk.30. The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.6A. callingB. reachingC. gettingD. using31. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.B. Nine- tenths spent over three hours checking work emails.C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8 .am..32. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Workaholics like smartphones.B. Smartphones bring about extra work.C. Smartphones make our life easier.D. Employers don’t like smartphones.DWhen people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually all extreme ly happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that cr ying tears of joy may well be t he body’s way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.Aragon and her f ellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things ——to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negat ive emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a bi g lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and7physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon．33. What have professors from Yale University found in their research?A. The reason why pe ople cry with tears.B. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.C. Strong negative feelings are useful to people.D. People recover slowly from strong emotions.34. Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?A. Crying at good news.B. Crying at a failure.C. Kissing a cute baby.D. Laughing at happy reunions.35. Where does the passage most likely come from?A. A science fiction novel.B. A psychologi cal science journal.C. A popular biology book.D. An adolescent literature book.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
