三、阅读理解(本大题共4小题)
When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, ”Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

If you exhibit positive characteristics, such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception (认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person’s personality.
The study, which was led by Gary W. Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.
After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual’s becoming a friend and a dating partner. Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive (认知的) processes modify (修改) judgments of attractiveness.
“Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind,” said Lewandowski.
The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how “attractive” the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants’ current relationship status.
“This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people’s impressions of how good-looking you are,” said Lewandowski.
32.In the study the participants were required to ______.
A.try to make friends with each other
B.try to prove positive characters make people more attractive
C.exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudeness
D.rate one’s attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality
33.What’s the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness
a. find a person with a positive personality
b. view the person more physically attractive
c. want to make friends with the person
d. want to be his/her romantic partner
A.a→c→d→b B.d→c→b→a C.c→b→a→d D.a→d→c→b
34.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage
A.The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality.
B.Personality can change people’s impressions of one’s appearance.
C.The judgment of one’s attractiveness always stays unchanged.
D.Positive personality may lead to more friends.
35.The passage is written in a(n)__________ tone.
A.subjective B.objective C.skeptical D.negative
36.Who are the intended readers of this passage
A.People with positive characteristics. B.Good-looking people.
C.People with negative characteristics. D.General people.
Looking for a new weight loss plan?Try living on top of a mountain. Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes,so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy. A handful of studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight. Doctor Florian Lippl of the University Hospital of Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich wondered how the mountain air would affect overweight individuals if they weren't doing any more physical activity than usual.
Lippl and his colleagues invited 20 overweight men to an environmental research station about 300meters below the summit of Zugspitze,a mountain around 2,970 meters near the Austrian border. They were allowed to eat as much as they liked. The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones linked to appetite and fatness. At the end of the week,the men,whose mean weight starting out was 105kg,had lost on average about l5kg. The men's blood pressure also dropped,which the researchers believed was due to weight lost.
Exactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain. Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes,and indeed the men ate significantly less than usual-about 700 calories fewer per day. Lippl also notes that because their consumption was being recorded,they may have been more self-conscious about what they ate. Regardless,eating less accounts for just I kg of the l5 kg lost,says Lippl. He thinks the increased metabolic(新陈代谢的)rate,which was measured,also contributed to weight loss but cannot separate the different effects with the given data.
Appetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key,notes Damian Bailey,a physiologist at the University of Glamorgan,UK,who recently lost 11 kg during a 3-month expedition to the Andes in Chile.
Unfortunately,for the average person there is no treatment that can resemble living at high altitude,says Lippl. The only alternative is hypobaric chamber,which exposes subjects to low oxygen and isn't practical as a treatment. He says,half-jokingly,"If fat people plan their holidays,they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountain. "
37.What contributes the most to one's heart rates according to the first paragraph
A.our bodyweight
B.the amount of oxygen provided
C.the rates of our breathing
D.the consumption of energy
38.Hormones are tested in the research because they can affect____________
A.one's bodyweight
B.one's blood pressure
C.one's way of living
D.one's metabolic rate
39.What was found about the 20 overweight men in the process of the research
A.They controlled what to eat self-consciously.
B.They lost appetite because of lack of physical activity.
C.They took in much fewer calories than usual.
D.They were provided with a healthier diet than before.
40.Why does Damian Bailey agree with the idea of appetite loss at high altitudes
A.He lost much weight in the high altitude Andes.
B.He found no other reasons for his loss of weight in the Andes.
C.He researched the related subject in the Andes.
D.He experimented with the new weight loss plan in the mountain of Zugspitze.
41.In what manner does Lippl talk about the way of losing weight by spending holidays on mountains
A.casual B.inaccurate
C.uncertain D.confident
Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt, sadness. We need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond. Being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm. Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.
Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media. Many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards,or large dogs, disappear with age. Those relating to personal failure and ridicule from others remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.
Children’s fears are often small, but that doesn’t mean they should be dismissed as trivial. They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child. Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to settle them.
Research shows that as a child grows up, the center of his fears changes a lot.Things like divorce, a teacher who “shouted at me”, people with guns, bullies, big boys, or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.
We cannot always prevent these experiences from happening, but it is essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment. Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease pain of these fears. Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope. With all emotions, fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.
42.According to Paragraph 2, we can know that fears in young children ________.
A.only center on frightening animals B.can make sure of their safety
C.are not born but learned D.need special help to deal with
43.The underlined word in Para.3 probably means ________.
A.abnormal B.unacceptable C.imaginary D.not worth considering
44.In dealing with children’s fears, the final goal of the parents is to ________.
A.develop children’s ability to treat their fears on their own
B.let children know about the nature of fear
C.create an environment where there is nothing to fear
D.stop unpleasant experiences happening to children
45.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.children should avoid the media to reduce their fear
B.some childhood fears may have a lasting influence
C.fears can be judged according to the environment
D.children with similar fears can communicate easily
46.What’s the best title for this passage
A.How to Overcome Children’s Fears B.Children’s Fears
C.The Kind of Children’s Fears D.The Bad Effects of Fears

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文叙述了作者通过以父亲教授他钓鱼时,要像鱼一样思考,学会钓鱼的道理,告诉大家从事商业销售时要像消费者一样去思考。
【解析】27.细节理解题。根据第一段的But that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset. 可知,但这不是很有趣的是,他可以抓很多鱼,而我什么也抓不到。我通常很沮丧。所以作者感到沮丧,是因为他一条鱼也抓不到。故选A。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.可以,我越了解鱼,我越能有效的找到并抓住鱼。由此判断出父亲的意思是了解鱼的想法。故选C。
29.推理判断题。根据第二段I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes. 我了解到鱼是一种冷血动物,因此对水温非常敏感。这就是为什么鱼类喜欢浅水而不喜欢深水,因为前者比较温暖。此外,水在阳光直射下通常比在阴凉处更暖和。然而,鱼却没有眼皮,太阳会伤害它们的眼睛。由此判断出,根据作者的说法,鱼最有可能出现在浅水区的水边树下。故选D。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers可知,我逐渐了解我们需要像消费者一样去思考,这与父亲的“You need to think like a fish”相似,由此判断出,作者进入商界后,作者发现他父亲的钓鱼建议很有启发性。故选B。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项新的研究发现,一个人对外表吸引力的感知会受到一个人的性格的影响。
【解析】32.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.(在这项研究中,参与者观看了异性个体的照片,并在得到关于他们个性的信息之前和之后对他们的吸引力进行了评分)”可知,在这项研究中,参与者被要求按照要求在了解一个人的性格之前和之后,通过照片来评价一个人的吸引力。故选D项。
33.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how “attractive” the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants’ current relationship status.(研究结果表明,积极的性格会让人更希望成为朋友,进而更希望成为恋人,最后,会让人觉得自己外表更迷人。无论“魅力”个人如何或者研究对象目前的感情状况如何,研究结果都是一致的)”可知,首先,找一个性格积极的人,想和这个人交朋友,想成为他/她的浪漫伴侣,最后,从外表上看,这个人更有吸引力。所以排序为a→c→d→b。故选A项。
34.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Lewandowski 说的话“This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people’s impressions of how good-looking you are(这项研究提供了一个积极的结果,它提醒人们,个性在很大程度上决定了你的吸引力;它甚至可以改变人们对你有多漂亮的印象)”可知,选项 C“对一个人吸引力的判断总是保持不变的”是错误的。故选C项。
35.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据文章第一段“If you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception (认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.(如果你表现出诸如诚实和乐于助人等积极的特征,那么你很有可能会被认为是一个好看的人,因为一项新的研究发现,一个人对外表吸引力的感知会受到一个人的性格的影响)”可知,文章主要介绍一项新的研究发现结果,没有发表作者的主观意见,所以是客观的。故选B项。
36.推理判断题。根据文章介绍一项新的研究发现,一个人对外表吸引力的感知会受到一个人的性格的影响。可推知,这篇文章的目标读者是普通人。故选D。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项研究发现:海拔会影响一个人的体重。
【解析】37.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes,so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy.”可知,山区空气比低海拔地区空气的含氧量少,所以呼吸会导致心跳加快,由此可知,含氧量对一个人的心率影响最大,故B项正确。
38.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones linked to appetite and fatness.”可知,研究人员检测激素是因为它们影响体重,故A项正确。
39.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“and indeed the men ate significantly less than usual-about 700 calories fewer per day.”可知,研究发现他们摄入的热量比平时低700卡路里,故C项正确。
40.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“who recently lost 11 kg during a 3-month expedition to the Andes in Chile.”可知,Damian Bailey同意在高海拔地区食欲会下降的观点,这是因为他在高海拔的安第斯山脉探险时瘦了11公斤,故A项正确。
41.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He says,half-jokingly,"If fat people plan their holidays,they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountain. "”可知,Lippl半开玩笑地说,“如果胖人计划度假,他们可能不会去海边,但可能去山上”,由此可知,Lippl是以非正式的方式谈论此事的,故A项正确。
【点睛】关于人物态度的推理判断题的难度较大,抓住人物所说的话以及说话时的语气是关键,例如本篇第5题,最后一段中的“He says,half-jokingly,"If fat people plan their holidays,they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountain. "”可知,Lippl半开玩笑地说,“如果胖人计划度假,他们可能不会去海边,但可能去山上”,特别是“half-jokingly”一词表明Lippl是以非正式的方式谈论此事的。

43.词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后“They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child.(对于那个孩子来说,它们需要被认可和接受为真实的情感)”可推知,这对孩子来说,恐惧虽小,但也需要重视,划线词所在句子表达“孩子们的恐惧往往很小,但这并不意味着它们应该被当作微不足道的事情而不予理会”,故划线词trivial意思是“不值得考虑的,不重要的”,D项与其意思相近。故选D。
44.细节理解题。根据第三段“Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to settle them.(只有当我们帮助孩子理解他们的恐惧时,他们才能正常地发展应对能力)”可知,父母处理孩子恐惧的最终目标是培养孩子自己处理恐惧的能力。故选A。
45.推理判断题。根据第二段“Those relating to personal failure and ridicule from others remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.(那些与个人失败和他人嘲笑有关的恐惧会一直持续到成年,可能需要特殊的帮助才能克服)”可知,一些童年的恐惧可能会持续到成年,有持久的影响。故选B。
46.主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要围绕孩子的恐惧展开,介绍了孩子恐惧的来源、随着年龄的变化以及如何处理等内容,故B项“孩子的恐惧”适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
