Let’s see which one will take your fancy.‎ Disappearing Earth By Julia Phillips In the first chapter of this novel, two young girls vanish, sending shock waves through a town on the edge of the remote and mysterious Kamchatka Peninsula. What follows is a novel of overlapping short stories about the different women who have been affected by their ‎ disappearance. Each tale pushes the narrative forward another month and exposes the ways in which the women of Kamchatka have been destroyed — personally, culturally and emotionally — by the crime.‎ No Visible Bruises By Rachel Louise Snyder Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; domestic violence cuts across lines of class, religion and race. Snyder reveals pervasive myths (restraining orders are the answer, abusers never change) and writes movingly about the lives (and deaths) of people on both sides of the equation. She doesn’t give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.‎ Midnight in Chernobyl By Adam Higginbotham Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid detail and sharply etched personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence moves from mistake to mistake, miscalculation to miscalculation, as it builds to the inevitable, history-changing disaster.‎ Exhalation By Ted Chiang Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend who explains scientific theory to you with no airs and graces. Each thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through remarkable areas.‎ ‎21．Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a family?‎ A．Disappearing Earth B．No Visible Bruises C．Midnight in Chernobyl D．Exhalation ‎22．How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?‎ A．Delighted. B．Awkward. C．Tense. D．Calm.‎ ‎23．What kind of book is Exhalation?‎ A．A folk tale. B．A biography. C．A love story.

The hurricane is coming!‎ Just then, the boys grandfather arrived from his seaside home. Grandpa explained that the local government had told people to evacuate their homes by the sea. It just wasn’t safe for anyone to stay near the ocean during the hurricane.‎ Soon afterwards, Mrs. Timms left to buy supplies that the family would need during the storm. Batteries, bottled water and canned food were a few of the items on her list.‎ Grandpa stayed with the boys, and the three of them made preparations for the storm. First, they filled the bathtub and all the empty water bottles they could find. Next, they unplugged(拔掉插头)almost everything in the house. Then, Eddie helped Grandpa strengthen the windows. Meanwhile, Jasper put the outdoor chairs inside.‎ Later, as the storm approached, the family stayed in protected areas away from the windows and outside walls.

In fact, we perceive direct eye contact from other people not only when they look us in the eye, but also when they look at any other part of our face.‎ Shane Rogers, Oliver Guidetti, and their collaborators at Edith Cowan University in Perth, set out to determine whether people experience an ‘eye contact illusion’ during natural conversation, and if so, how strong the misperception might be. They conducted two eye-tracking studies:‎ In the first experiment, Guidetti engaged in one on one ‘getting acquainted’ conversations with 46 students, with both Guidetti and the student wearing eye-tracking glasses. In one half of the 4-minute conversations, Guidetti looked at the student’s eyes most of the time, and in the other half of the conversations, he looked at the student’s mouth most of the time. The data showed that, whereas mutual face gazing was comparable in the two participant groups, mutual eye contact was much lower. Once the conversation was over, students rated how much eye contact they believed Guidetti had made, and how much they had enjoyed the conversation. Both subject groups produced equivalently high ratings in each measure, indicating that our perception of eye contact during conversation has more to do with mutual face gazing than with actual eye contact.‎ In the second experiment, 36 pairs of students (all wearing eye-tracking goggles) participated ‎ in an ‘eye gaze guessing game,’ where participants alternated the roles of gazer and guesser for 30 experimental trials. In each trial, the gazer looked for about 2 seconds at one of five locations on the guesser’s face: eyes, mouth, nose, forehead, or either ear. Then, the guesser tried to guess the location the gazer had just looked at. The guessers’ accuracy was above chance level, suggesting that people do possess some ability to figure out the location of another person’s gaze when actively watching out for it. However, participants were slanted to guessing ‘eyes’ when unsure.‎ Based on the combined findings from both experiments, the researchers concluded that, unless people are specifically attending to gaze location, they are not very sensitive to the exact focus of their partner’s gaze upon their face during the course of natural conversation.‎ The bad news is, your perception of soul-to-soul eye contact with your romantic partner may be all in your head (your soulmate could be looking at your mouth, or even your ear, as they declare their everlasting love). But the good news is, if the act of looking at other people’s eyes makes you anxious, or if you dread speaking in front of an audience, you don’t need to sweat the small stuff. Just look in the general direction of people’s faces and it’ll feel to them like meaningful eye contact. (Feb 22th, 2019, Scientific American)‎ ‎32．What does the underlined word slanted probably mean?‎ A．certain B．likely C．doubtful D．frustrated ‎33．In the first experiment, the participants ________.‎ A．are trying to get to know each other B．look at the eyes in half of the conversation C．misjudge the actual amount of eye contact D．make more face gazing to reduce embarrassment ‎34．We can learn from the experiments that ________.‎ A．The gazer takes at least ten seconds to finish each trail B．Eye contact makes participants enjoy conversations more C．They are conducted to prove the significance of imaginary threads D．People can be accurate about the exact focus of others5 gaze if focused ‎35．Guidetti probably agrees that ________.‎ A．Soulful declaration of love doesn’t exist B．Direct eye contact may cause anxiety C．Mutual face gazing improves conversation quality D．Eye contact illusion can be applied to real life 第二节 （共5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。‎ ‎ You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 36． Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year (or even years)!‎ Be clear about your expectations from the beginning. Do you know in advance that you hate it when someone hits the snooze button (贪睡闹铃) fifteen times every morning? That you’re a neat freak (怪人)? That you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up? 37． It’s not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to avoid problems before they become problems.‎ Address problems when they’re little. Is your roommate always forgetting her things for the shower, and taking yours? 38． Addressing things that annoy you while they’re still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after they’ve become big.‎ ‎39． This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict.
