But the courage and determination Reeve showed in trying to overcome his paralysis （瘫痪） from a ‎1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.‎ ‎“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,”‎ Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain‟s Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”‎ Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.‎ He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer‟s and Parkinson‟s disease.‎ ‎“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.‎ Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.‎ ‎51. The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that .‎ A. Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film B. the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be ‎ remembered C. Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis D. the inspiring image in Reeve‟s real life was even greater than that in his film ‎52. Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except .‎ A. setting up a non-profit research organization B. winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles C. influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research D. struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research ‎53. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. A Fighter of Spinal Cord Injuries B. A Real Hero in Film C. A Forever Superman D. A Struggling Life B New crime prediction software should reduce not only the murder rate, but the rate of other crimes. Developed by Richard Berk, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, the software has already used in Baltimore and Philadelphia to predict which individuals on probation(缓刑) or parole(假释) are most likely to murder and to be murdered.‎ ‎“When a person goes on probation or parole he is supervised(监督) by an officer.‎ The question is „what level of supervision is appropriate?‟” said Berk. It used to be that parole officers used the person‟s criminal record, and their judgment to make decisions.‎ ‎“This research replaces those seat-of-the-pants calculations,” he said.‎ Technology helps determine level of supervision. On average there is one murder for every 100,000 people. Even among high-risk groups the murder rate is one in 100. Predicting such a rare event is very difficult, but advances in computer technology work.‎ Years ago, the researchers made a data set of more than 60,000 various crimes. Using the software they developed, they found some much more likely to commit murder when paroled or probated. They could identify eight future murderers out of ‎100.‎ Berk‟s software examines roughly two dozen variables(可变因素), from criminal record to geographic location. The type of crimes, and more importantly, the age at which that crime was committed, were two of the most predictive variables.‎ ‎“People assume that if someone murdered then they will murder in the future,” said Berk. “ What really matters is what that person did as a young individual. Predicting future crimes sounds well. But we aren‟t anywhere near being able to do that.”‎ ‎“Berk‟s scientific answer leaves policymakers with difficult questions. By labeling one group of people as high risk, and supervise them closely, there should be fewer murders, which the potential victims should be happy about. It also means that those high-risk individuals will be supervised more aggressively. For human rights advocates, that means punishing people who, most likely, will not commit a crime in the future,” said Bushway. “It comes down to a question of whether you would rather make these errors or those errors.”‎ ‎54. The underlined words(in Para.3) probably mean .‎ A. calculations based on subjective opinions B. calculations based on a database C. calculations made by advanced technology D. calculations based on serious considering ‎55. For 650 people with crime records, how many potential murderers would the software find?‎ A. 6.5‎‎. B. 13. C. 52. D. 65.‎ ‎56. We can infer that .‎ A. Potential victims should be happy about aggressive supervision of high-risk individuals.‎ B. the technology developed by Richard Berk would not be widely accepted in the short term C. whether a person murders or not largely is decided by his upbringing while young D. if a person murdered when he was fifty, he is sure to murder again while on probation ‎57. Bushway‟s attitude to the technology put forward by Richard Berk is .‎ A. positive B. negative C. objective D. indifferent C Pacing and Pausing Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve‟s new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn‟t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. ‎ The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.‎ Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there‟s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I‟m finished or fail to take your turn when I‟m finished. That‟s what was happening with Betty and Sara.‎ It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.‎ The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定势). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in ‎— and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.‎ That‟s why slight differences in conversational style — tiny little things like microseconds of pause — can have a great effect on one‟s life. The result in this cause was a judgment of psychological problems — even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.‎ ‎58. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?‎ A. Betty was talkative. B. Betty was an interrupter.‎ C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.‎ ‎59. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?‎ A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.‎ ‎60. We can learn from the passage that .‎ A. one‟s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes B. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing C. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US D. one should receive training to build up one‟s confidence ‎61. The underlined word “assertiveness” in the last paragraph probably means ‎ ‎ A. being willing to speak one‟s mind B. being able to increase one‟s power C. being ready to make one‟s own judgment D. being quick to express one‟s ideas confidently D A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people‟s cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a shelter.‎ ‎“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women say they feel better at work, she notes. “It is men not women who report being happier at home than at work.” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.‎ What the study doesn‟t measure is whether people are still doing work when they‟re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home,‎ they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring（难以区分的）‎ of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it‟ s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.‎ But it‟s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they‟re supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.‎ On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the ‎ household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues--your family--have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they‟re teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they‟re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.‎ So it‟s not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.‎ ‎62. According to Paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home .‎ A. offered greater relaxation than the workplace B. was an unrealistic place for relaxation C. was an ideal place for stress measurement D. generated more stress than the workplace ‎63. According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?‎ A. Working mothers. B. Working fathers C. Childless wives. D. Childless husbands.‎ ‎64. The underlined word “moola” most probably means .‎ A. skills B. earnings C. energy D. nutrition ‎65. The blurring of working women‟s roles refers to the fact that .‎ A. it is difficult for them to leave their office B. there is often much housework left behind C. they are both breadwinners and housewives D. their home is also a place for kicking back 第二节 七选五（共 5 小题，每小题 1 分，共 5 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 两项为多余项。‎ What Is Emotional Eating?‎ Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. 66 Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or swallowed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.‎ Not many of us make the connection between eating and ‎ our feelings.‎ ‎ 67 ‎ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it‟s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they‟re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be connected to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine‟s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce.‎ ‎ 68 ‎ Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. 69 It‟s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what‟s going on.‎ We‟re all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. 70 That‟s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.‎ Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.‎ A. Believe it or not, we‟ve all been there.‎ B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may connect cookies with comfort.‎ C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. AB. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.‎ AC. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.‎ AD. More often, though, it‟s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.‎ 第二部分非选择题(共 65 分)‎ 一、根据句意和提示，填单词 (共 30 小题，每小题 0.5 分，满分 15 分)‎ ‎1.

Matt Ellis speaking. ‎ W: Hello, Dr. Ellis, my name’s Pan Johnson. My roommate, Janet Holmes, wanted me to call you. ‎ M: Janet Holmes? Oh,that’s right. She’s in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her?‎ W: Nothing, it’s just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company ‎ asked her in for an interview today. She’s afraid she won’t be able to attend your class this afternoon though. I’m calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. Janet said it’s due today.‎ M: Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office. ‎ W: Would it be all right to come by your office around 4:00? I’m afraid I can’t come any earlier because I have three classes this afternoon. ‎ M: Uh, I won’t be here when you come. I’m supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00, but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5:00. ‎ W: Fine, please tell her I’ll be there at 4:00. And Dr. Ellis, one more thing, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn’t give me directions to your office. ‎ M: Well, I’m in Room 302 of the Gregory‎ ‎Building. I’ll tell my secretary to put the paper in my mail box, and I’ll get it when I return. ‎ W: I sure appreciate it. Goodbye, Dr. Ellis. ‎ M: Goodbye, Ms. Johnson.‎ Conversation 2‎ W: Hi, Eric. How was your weekend? ‎ M: Great! I met Maria’s parents. And we told them we want to be engaged. ‎ W: Eric, that’s wonderful. Congratulations! ‎ M: Thanks, Alice. I really like her parents too. They're very nice. Mrs. Carmona speaks four languages, and Mr. Carmona is a diplomat. In fact, he gave a speech at the law school on Saturday morning. ‎ W: Oh, that was Maria’s father? I heard his speech. ‎ M: You did? ‎ W: Well, I heard part of it. I listened to it for ten minutes and then I fell asleep. I thought I was in class. Anyway, tell me about your weekend. ‎ M: Saturday evening we saw a play. And Sunday afternoon, we watched a s occer game. Then Sunday night we all went out for dinner, Maria, her parents and me. That was the first chance we had to talk. ‎ W: Were you nervous? ‎ M: At first I was. We didn’t say much. Mr. Carmona told us some good stories about his experiences as a diplomat. And he asked me about my hobbies. ‎ W: And what did you say? ‎ M: Well, I didn’t tell him about my flying lessons. I told him about my chess playing and my classical music collection. ‎ W: Good idea. Her parents really approve of you, don’t they? ‎ M: I guess so. Maria called this morning and said: “My father told me he’d like you for a son-in-law right now.” ‎ W: That’s great. ‎ M: Not exactly. I want to get married after graduate school in about three years. ‎ Conversation 3‎ M: You're going to wear out the computer’s keyboard. ‎ W: Oh. Hi. ‎ M: Do you have any idea what time it is? W: About 10:00 or 10:30? ‎ M: It’s nearly midnight. W: Really? I didn’t know it was so late. ‎ M: Don’t you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning? ‎ W: Yes, at 7:00. My commuter class—the students who go to work right after their lesson. ‎ M: Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing anyway? ‎ W: An article I hope I can sell. ‎ M: Oh, another of your newspaper pieces. What’s this one about? ‎ W: Do you remember that trip I took last month? M: The one up to the Amazon? ‎ W: Well, that’s what I’m writing about. The new highway and the changes it’s making in the Amazon valley. ‎ M: It should be interesting. ‎ W: It is. I guess that’s why I forgot all about the time. ‎ M: How many articles have you sold now? ‎ W: About a dozen so far. ‎ M: What kind of newspapers buy them? ‎ W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up the space between the ads. ‎ M: Is there any future in it? ‎ W: I hope so. There's a chance I may sell this article to a news service. ‎ M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn't it? ‎ W: That’s the idea. And it might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis. ‎ M: That would be great. ‎ Lecture Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second-language teachers are ‎ those which are identical in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly back and forth. Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the opposite of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is referring to a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand parallel to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply
