Jayce began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates．They had two hands while he had one． Due to their young age，Jayce was encouraged that he was just like an angel with one wing folded to prepare for something．
It started when one boy laughed at him． From that day，5 year old Jayce turned sad． He returned home with questions．“Why am I different Why me Why？” He cried to ask his mother，Lewis．Seeing Jayce was mad at God for making him that way，the poor mother felt it a huge dagger to her heart． What made her more sorrowful was that she didn't know what to do at that point and how to provide answers to her son's questions which she could never find out herself． The white lie burst just like bubbles that day．
A few weeks later，Lewis turned on the TV to a news story，where she was shocked to find out the answer． It was Trashaun，an eighth grader，that displayed positive energy from head to toe． The 14 year old sunny boy performed his slam dunks(灌篮) on the TV，who had been a hit on the Internet． However，like Jayce，he had missed most of his left arm since his childhood! Lewis called her son Jayce in． The poor little boy got spellbound，watching dunk after dunk．
At the time，it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce． He saw Trashaun as a tough role model who had a seemingly similar born disability but led a brilliant life． And had it stayed just like that，Lewis would have been happy enough．But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to Trashaun，asking him to help set up a meeting with Jayce to rebuild his confidence．

[参考范文]
The day was not spent drowning in self pity but for fun． The boys met at a middle school on a sunny afternoon，and instantly bonded． Seeing his role model in the flesh，Jayce was too thrilled to say a single word but stand there with his mouth open wide． Amused by the sight，Trashaun held Jayce's tiny hand as if Jayce had been his little brother to play hide and seek first，due to their similar inborn disability． Gradually，Trashaun led Jayce to ride bikes around the school，and eventually，taught Jayce slam dunks． During the rest，Trashaun took up a shirt that says“Five fingers can also make it”，which was prepared for Jayce．
Staring at the shirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms． Trashaun smiled，“I guess you may be puzzled，surprised，upset，and even frustrated，hating God making you this way．” He stopped，falling his eyes on Jayce's，with one hand patting Jayce's head，“But I think this is the perfect way God made me． With five fingers，we also made it in lots of things just now． The missed arm is like a wing folded by an angel． Only when you're tough will you see the wing！” Behind stood Lewis，whose face was flooded with tears． She confirmed the 14 year old would be a superhero one day，so would her son，who was unfolding his hidden wing!
课时提升作业(六) (UNIT 2 Writing)
(总分：60分)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
For all the importance we place on words，whether spoken or written，much of the communicating we do on a regular basis comes through body language．According to pioneering research by Dr．Albert Mehrabian，only 7 percent of the meaning from human communication comes from the actual spoken words used．An additional 38 percent comes from people's tone of voice，while a large 55 percent comes from body language．
Researchers have long identified that certain kinds of body movements and facial expressions can communicate information about the emotions we happen to be experiencing at the time．But are these emotional signals shaped by different cultures or are they universal to all humans
A new research article published in the journal Emotion attempts to answer this question through a cross cultural study．The researchers traveled to Ratanakiri，Cambodia to study members of a distant Kreung hill tribe (部落)．Living in Cambodia's highlands，the Kreung are still largely separated from the outside world except for occasional visitors．They have yet to be assimilated (同化) as many other societies have been．
In the study，a set of videos were prepared featuring an American woman，displaying three positive emotions(happiness，love and pride) and three negative emotions (anger，fear and sadness) using body language alone．The effectiveness of these videos was tested using thirty four American participants．The videos were then presented to twenty six Kreung individuals (eleven of whom were female)．They were asked to describe the emotions being displayed in their own words．
Results showed that the Kreung participants tended to be quite accurate in guessing which emotions were being presented．The overall accuracy rate was sixty two percent though their accuracy in detecting specific emotions such as anger and happiness was far higher．Overall，there was no significant discrepancy between Kreung and American raters in detecting emotions，though American participants did much better in detecting pride and love．
Still，the study does suggest that body movements can express emotions such as anger，fear，sadness and love even to individuals belonging to different cultures．Emotional signals reflect basic human needs and desires that all humans share．Learning more about how basic biology and social factors shape the way we communicate may well be essential in helping to understand ourselves better．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，情感肢体语言在不同文化中是普遍存在的。
1．Why were the Kreung chosen in the study
A．They live a hard and poor life．
B．They make a living by developing tourism．
C．They enjoy a relatively unaffected culture．
D．They use body language alone to communicate．
C [细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句“科伦族生活在柬埔寨的高地，除了偶尔的游客外，他们基本上与外界隔绝。他们还没有像许多其他社会一样被同化。”可知，研究选择科伦族是因为他们相对不受外界文化的影响。故选C。]
2．How does the writer describe the results of the study in paragraph 5
A．By using pictures．
B．By telling stories．
C．By analyzing causes．
D．By making comparisons．
D [写作手法题。根据第五段最后一句“总体而言，尽管美国参与者在识别骄傲和爱方面做得更好，但在察觉情绪方面，科伦族和美国参与者之间没有显著差异。”推知，作者是通过作比较来描述结果的。故选D。]
3．What does the underlined word“discrepancy” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Difference． B．Communication．
C．Relation． D．Balance．
A [词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“Overall，there was no significant discrepancy between Kreung and American raters in detecting emotions，though American participants did much better in detecting pride and love．”可知，这是让步状语从句，前后有转折意味。由此可知，discrepancy的意思是“差异”。故选A。]
4．What did the researchers conclude from the study
A．Emotional signals are essentially languages．
B．Emotional body language may go beyond culture．
C．Humans share all the emotional body movements．
D．Biology and social factors affect basic human needs and desires．
B [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“不过，这项研究确实表明，身体动作可以表达愤怒、恐惧、悲伤和爱等情绪，甚至对不同文化背景的人也是如此。”可推知，情感肢体语言可能跨越文化，被人们通用。故选B。]
B
Remember switching the radio channels，hoping a tune you liked would pop out You never had to listen too long to know you'd landed on a hit． Maria Chait，an auditory cognitive neuroscientist(听觉认知神经学家) at London University，and her team recently studied how quick that reaction is． They started by asking 10 volunteers to name a feel good，familiar song．
Then the researchers selected a second tune that sounded similar but was unfamiliar to the volunteers． They divided both songs into tiny bits—each less than a second long and then randomly inserted them into a six and a half minute long track of song pieces． As the pieces played，the scientists measured the volunteers' brain activity and monitored changes in pupils(瞳孔)，too—a sign of excitement． And the researchers found that the listeners' pupils widened more rapidly when they heard familiar versus(与……对比) unfamiliar tunes—within just a tenth to a third of a second! Familiar tunes also caused a two step pattern of brain activity where the brain first recognizes something as familiar and then brings back more detailed information about it． That pattern was absent for unfamiliar songs．
The study does have limitations: it used a small number of songs; it was hard to cover the purpose of the study from the participants; and the control group ended up being mainly international students from Asia—since they had to be unfamiliar with every single song—so their native languages and music backgrounds differed from the experimental group from a European background．
Still，for doctors who want to use music as a helpful tool for patients with memory loss，for example，that might be useful in the situation，for participants are not required to indicate anything． They just listen passively． Doctors simply have to observe the neural fingerprints of hearing that same old song．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明熟悉的曲调能迅速唤醒大脑。
5．How did the researchers conduct the study
A．They asked volunteers to sing along．
B．They separated songs for comparison．
C．They observed the listeners' expressions．
D．They took two steps to draw the conclusion．
B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“他们首先让10名志愿者说出一首感觉良好、熟悉的歌曲”和第二段第一句“然后，研究人员选择了另一段听起来相似但志愿者不熟悉的曲调”可知，研究人员用两首不同的歌对志愿者进行前后研究，说明研究人员把歌曲分开比较。故选B。]
6．What does the author think of the study
A．It proves to be persuasive．
B．It is based on practical theory．
C．It needs further research．
D．It should use Asian language．
C [推理判断题。根据第三段“这项研究确实有局限性：它使用了少量的歌曲；很难对参与者隐瞒研究的目的；而对照组最终主要是来自亚洲的留学生——因为他们必须对每一首歌都不熟悉——因此他们的母语和音乐背景与来自欧洲背景的实验组有所不同”可知，作者认为此项研究具有局限性，实验歌曲和参与者少，可得出作者认为这需要进一步的研究。故选C。]
7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The research is helpful in some medical ways．
B．Doctors are delighted with the research result．
C．It's easy to cure patients with memory loss．
D．Patients need treating with music like songs．
A [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容“不过，对于那些想把音乐作为记忆丧失患者的有用工具的医生来说，这种情况下可能是有用的，因为参与者不需要指出任何东西”可知，对医生来说，音乐是记忆丧失患者的有用工具，此项研究是有用的，可得出这项研究在医学上有帮助。故选A。]
8．What is the best title for the passage
A．How Can We Use Familiar Songs
B．Music Is Good for Our Brains
C．Familiar Tunes Awake Brains Quickly
D．Doctors Practice Musical Treatment
C [标题归纳题。第一段讲“伦敦大学的听觉认知神经学家Maria Chait和她的团队最近研究人们对熟悉的曲调的反应速度有多快”，第二段讲“研究的过程和结果(发现人们对熟悉的曲调更兴奋，熟悉的曲调能带回更详细的信息，不熟悉的歌曲没有这种模式)”，第三段讲“此项研究的局限性”，第四段讲“这项研究在医学上有所帮助”，可知，本文是一项针对“人们对熟悉的曲调的反应速度有多快”的科学研究，C项“熟悉的曲调能迅速唤醒大脑”为本文最佳标题。故选C。]

My Favorite Band
When it comes to the band that I love most，I can't help thinking of the Beatles．
I'm a biggest fan of the band． When they exploded into the music scene in 1962，they were a force for change，with their changeable music styles—form basic rock and roll music to complicated and progressive sounds． Their music is always joyous and hopeful for a better future． Listening to their songs always gives me inner strength to face everything in life．

Lily and Susan had been best friends since kindergarten．They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable．One sunny afternoon，as they walked in the nearby park，chatting about their plans for the future，they saw an injured dog．
Without hesitation，Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog．They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet(兽医)clinic．The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine．Relieved，they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovers．
Their act of kindness brought them even closer，and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park．However，as high school progressed，their interests started to diverge(出现分歧)．Lily became passionate about painting，spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works，while Susan developed a deep interest in science，joining the school's science club and taking part in various competitions．
As time passed，they found themselves less and less in common．One day，a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule．Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn't understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extracurricular activities．They argued，and for the first time，their friendship seemed strained(紧张的)．
Feeling disheartened，both girls went their separate ways．But despite their differences，they couldn't shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared．
One evening，as Lily walked home from an art class，she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road，looking deep in thought．She hesitated but then gathered up courage to approach her．“Mind if I sit down？”she asked softly．Susan looked up，surprised but not unwelcoming．“I was just thinking about old times，”she admitted．“Me too，”Lily said quietly．

[参考范文]
They sat in silence for a while，both lost in thought．They were all immersed in the beautiful memories of the past．Suddenly，Susan said，“I don't know why we argued，and it was all because of some small things．”“And，I care about Lucky．It's the cutest little dog in the world，”Susan added．Lily smiled and said，“Of course，we're still good friends．”The two girls talked a lot，as if unaware of the passage of time．They were happy to be able to bridge the gap between each other．
After talking，they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship．Susan decided to try to understand painting，while Lily decided to try to understand science．After school，they went home together．On weekends，they took Lucky to the park for a walk，which made them feel excited．When encountering disagreements，they would analyze rather than argue．True friends will not be separated by minor conflicts．True friends understand and support each other．
