I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel(毛巾) on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys “Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Am ery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small? He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, “My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, suggested the incident was closed.

A. Because the boy was of similar size.

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard(广告牌) glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste." "Drink Good Wet Root Beer." "Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"

Th e beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed: new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figu re it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的）or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story（悬疑小说）. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the

hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests --- even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.

59. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

A. Gas stations.

B. Advertisements on the billboards.

C. Films on television.

D. Buses on the road.

60. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ____.

A. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.

B. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses

C. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun

D. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between

61. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are ___.

A. exciting

B. comfortable

C. tiring

D. boring

62. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.

B. To describe the billboards along the road.

C. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.

D. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

D

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.

Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.

“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.”

According to Jack and his colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.

The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful,

disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.

It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made signif icantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggests that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”

In short, the data shows that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

63. The discovery shows that Westerners ______.

A. consider facial expressions universally reliable

B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth

C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways

D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions

64. What were the people asked to do in the study?

A. To classify some face pictures.

B. To make a face at each other.

C. To get their faces impressive.

D. To observe the researchers' faces.

65. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A. The participants in the study.

B. The researchers of the study.

C. The errors made during the study.

D. The data collected from the study.

66. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to ______.

A. do translation more successfully

B. read facial expressions more correctly

C. study the mouth more frequently

D. examine the eyes more attentively

67. What can be the best title for the passage?

A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul

B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills

C. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions

D. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding

第二节（共3小题；每小题2分，共6分）

阅读下面短文并根据题目要求回答问题。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。

（答案写在答题纸上）

It’s 2010, outside the gate of a school somewhere in the UK. Some teenagers are talking. One says to another, “I’m tired of jamming after school—it’s really vanilla. Let’s go for a za, OK?” Two adults are walking past. They hear what the teenagers are saying, but they don’t understand a word. (What the teenagers said was, “I’m tired of hanging around after school—it’s really boring. Let’s go for a pizza.”)

This is nothing new—teenagers always invent new words and phrases. They create words for everyday things—words that mean good or parents or bad or good-looking, and so on. Look at these different ways of saying good in recent decades:

1960s—groovy (or fab)

1970s—neat

1980s—ace

1990s—wicked

2000s—cool

But, of course, the words you use depend on your interests, your friends, the music you listen to and the part of the country you live in. Different groups of teenagers have different likes and dislikes, and so they also have different expressions.

So why do teenagers invent new words, or invent new meanings for old words? Many people think it’s because they don’t want adults to understand, but that probably isn’t true—the real reason is that teenagers like to be creative and play with language, so they have fun creating new words.

And what do parents and old people think about it all? Most of them don’t worry about it—after all, they had their own special words when they were teenagers too. But, some adults compla in about “teen talk” and get quite annoyed by it. But that’s all part of the fun for the teenagers!

68.What is the way of teenagers’ saying good in the 2000s?(只用一个单词)

69.Why do teenagers invent new words? (不多于七个单词)

70.What is the topic of the passage? (不多于四个单词)
