One of us would walk her, another would feed her ,then there were baths, playing catch and many other games . Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.‎ One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which ‎ had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.‎ ‎ Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us.People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.‎ ‎ Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.‎ ‎21. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?‎ ‎ A. Look at them sadly. B. Keep them company.‎ ‎ C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently.‎ ‎22. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie __‎ ‎ A. would eat anything when hungry B. felt sorry for her mistake ‎ ‎ C. felt scary for her mistake D. disliked the author's dad ‎23. Which of the following best describes Brownie?‎ ‎ A. Shy. B. Polite. C. Brave. D. Caring.‎ B ‎ Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance. ‎ After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed ‎ himself the Diabetic Rockstar , and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources. Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone." ‎ Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages. These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity（慈善机构）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean. Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now." 24. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?‎ A. He needs to go to the doctor every day.‎ B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes C.He has a positive attitude to this disease.‎ D.He encourages diabetics by writing articles.‎ ‎25. Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for _________.‎ ‎ A. diabetics to communicate B. volunteers to find jobs ‎ C. children to amuse themselves D. rock stars to share resources.‎ ‎26. What can we learn about Fight It?‎ A. It owns a well-known medical website.‎ B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.‎ C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.‎ D. It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties. ‎ C ‎ 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 neglect the mouth."‎ ‎ According to Jack and her 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（传达） 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（白种人） 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 significantly more errors than Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."‎ ‎ In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human ‎ emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified（使多样化） 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.‎ ‎27. The discovery shows that Westerners _______‎ ‎ A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth ‎ B. consider facial expressions universally reliable ‎ C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways ‎ D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions ‎28. 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.‎ ‎29. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to __‎ A. do translation more successfully B. study the mouth more frequently C. examine the eyes more attentively D. read facial expressions more correctly ‎30. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul B. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions C. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding 第二节（共5个小题；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。‎ It's sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It's even harder if a teenager doesn't agree with you. __31__‎ Listen to what the teenager has to say. __32__ While you may not entirely agree with what he's saying, the tension will be lessened if the teenager feels like you are listening and trying to understand him. Also, he might return the favor and give you the chance to talk as well. It's best to have a conversation where both of your ‎ opinions matter rather than fight and possibly hurt each other in the process.‎ Understand that while the teenager may appear grown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time. __33__ However, this doesn't mean you're completely right or he deserves to be laughed or treated like a child.‎ ‎__34__ However, remember that the teenager should understand when “no” is “no”. Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants, whenever he wants it.‎ ‎ If the conversation launches into an argument, stop it. Tell him that you both need to calm down and think clearly or the problem will never be solved. If he refuses to listen to you and continues arguing, step out of the room and allow time for both of you to settle down. Do not scold him or shout back. Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other.__35__‎ A. He still needs to learn, and he doesn't know everything.‎ B.

I’m sure some of our listeners will include Louisville in their travel plan for their next holiday. Thank you, Michelle.‎ Text 10‎ M: We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?‎ W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don’t remember their dreams or they don’t think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happen to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do is stop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams ‎ do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don’t love themselves to even think about it.‎
