A
A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when people interpret facial emotions (情感)．The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard，such as Japan，the focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed，such as the United States，the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotions.
“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized，” said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.“A person’s culture plays a very strong role in determining how he will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting the facial expressions.”
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号)，which are used to convey a writer’s emotions by email and text message.The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn ，while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons∶)and∶) show a happy face，whereas the emoticons∶(and∶(show a sad face.However，the Japanese tend to use the symbol (‘‘) to indicate a happy face，and (；；) to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that culture tends to mask its emotions.The Japanese would focus on a person’s eyes when detecting his or her emotions，as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的)，”said Masuda.“In the United States，where an open emotion is quite common，it makes sense to focus on the mouth，which is the most expressive feature on a person’s face.”
1．The text mainly tells us that ________.
A．cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B．culture is a key to interpreting facial emotions
C．different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D．people from different cultures express emotions differently

D．∶(
3．If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false，he will probably ________.
A．read the whole face
B．focus on the mouth
C．look into the eyes
D．judge by the voice
4．People used to believe that ________.
A．some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized
B．people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways
C．people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions
D．people all over the world understood basic emotions in the same way
5．The computer emoticons used by Americans show that ________.
A．they express their feelings openly
B．they tend to control their emotions
C．they are good at conveying their emotions
D．they use simpler emotions to show their feelings

More women are graduating from colleges than men.The situation is causing some people to worry about the future.The trend could cause social problems，according to a report on July 8 by the Washington Post.
Women received about 57 percent of the bachelor’s degrees awarded this year from colleges and universities in the United States.The figure of 57 percent has been the highest since World War Ⅱ ended in 1945.During the war，many men were in the military.
The gap between men and women is greater among African Americans and Hispanics.Two AfricanAmerican women receive a degree for every AfricanAmerican man.Only 40 percent of Hispanics who get a degree are males.
The USA Department of Education estimates 698,000 females received bachelor’s degree this year.The number of male graduates was 529,000.The trend toward more female graduates began in the mid1980s.Nobody seems to know why.However，many theories exist.
Researchers say the trend could lead to social problems.They also say this may indicate two things.It may reflect the increasing success of women.But it also may show the educational problems affecting men.
High school graduation rates are slightly lower for men than for women.Males also make up the vast majority of students in special education classes.
The Business Roundtable is studying the trend.The group is an organization of chief executives of some of the nation’s largest corporations.Susan Traiman is the director of the group’s education policy.Traiman said the nation couldn’t afford to let half its population fail to develop skills needed for the future.
6．Some people worry about the future because ________.
A．there are many social problems in America
B．more and more men don’t like the life in college
C．more AfricanAmerican women receive a degree
D．fewer and fewer men receive a degree than women in America
7．Which one of the following statements is right according to this passage?
A．There must be something wrong with the education system.
B．40% of the Hispanics get a degree in America.
C．Nobody knows the reason why more women get a degree than men.
D．More than half of the men received bachelor’s degrees this year.
8．The underlined word “estimates” in the fourth paragraph means ________.
A．guesses
B．explains
C．introduces
D．discovers
9．What Susan Traiman said means that ________.
A．the nation should prevent the women from receiving further education
B．the nation would be too poor to develop its education
C．the nation didn’t have enough money for women’s further education
D．the nation should encourage men to develop skills for the future

内容解读
这是一篇记叙文。作者在自己事业处于高峰的时候却突然辞职自己开公司，这引起了人们的不解。作者在经历考验之后终于有了些成就。
1．B [四年的时间，作者在Fortune 100 Company从销售培训师做到了区域销售经理。根据ending可判断与其对应的词应为beginning。]
2．D [从上文的销售经理以及下文的a sixfigure (income)“6位数的收入”可判断作者正处在事业的高峰期。height意为“处于(成功等的)巅峰”。]
3．C [作者的工作收入达到了6位数却要辞职，很显然会使人们感到“惊讶”。]
4．A [根据a sixfigure可判断这里指作者的收入，因此此空选income“收入”。]
5．A [他们问“我”为什么要为一个“梦想”冒失去一切的风险。文章首句中的my dream of有暗示。]
6．D [在参加了一个区域销售会议后，“我”决定开办“自己的”公司。]
7．C [根据下文的内容可判断这里应指“发表演说”，即deliver a speech。]
8．B [如果上帝给你们三个愿望，它们会是什么？选offer“提供”，其后接双宾语。]
9．C [给“我们”一会儿时间写下三个愿望。a moment“一会儿”为约数。hand帮忙，支援，paper“纸”为不可数名词，second秒，均不符合语境。]
10．A [为什么要神来帮助你们实现愿望呢？也就是说：为什么你们不能靠自己的努力去实现愿望呢？]
11．A [“我”不会忘记那个时刻“我”感受到的力量。]
12．B [根据语境可知选B。prepare意为“使……做好准备”。]
13．C [根据后文的didn’t need a god’s help可知，作者已经做好了准备，不需要上帝的帮助。]
14．D [一个励志演说家诞生了。]
15．A [做出决定后，“我”很快受到了考验。]
16．C [根据下文的worse still并结合选项可判断此处为“丢了手机”。]
17．B [not...at all为固定词组，意为“一点也不”，符合语境。]
18．B [“我”坚持“我”的梦想，然后奇迹真的发生了。really为副词，意为“的确，确实”。]
19．A [一个motivational speaker的工作应该是speaking。]
20．D [“我”发现了源于梦想的难以置信的力量。]

语篇定位
本文是一篇说明文。在含蓄文化和开放文化的背景下，日本人和美国人面部表情有很大的差异，这一点在符号语言上也能够体现出来。
长难句分析
The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn，while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth.
该句是一个由while连接的并列句；in terms of是固定词组，意为“在……方面”；vary是不及物动词，意为“不同”。句意为：日本人的悲喜情感是通过眼睛不同的移动方式表现出来的，而美国人的情感则是以嘴角方向的变化表现的。
1．B [主旨大意题。文章第一段的首句“A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when people interpret facial emotions(情感)．”是主题句，揭示了文化是诠释面部表情的决定性因素。只有B项表达的意思和文意相符。]
2．B [细节理解题。根据对第三段的分析可知，美国人的文化是开放的，所以联系该段中的“In the United States the emoticons∶)and∶) show a happy face，whereas the emoticons(and∶(show a sad face.”可知，B项是美国人表示高兴的表情。]
3．C [细节理解题。最后一段中的“The Japanese would focus on a person’s eyes when detecting his or her emotions...”表明日本人是通过注视别人的眼睛来观察别人的情感的，所以C项的意思和文意相符。]
4．D [推理判断题。文章第二段中的“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized”说明新的研究结果违背了这一流行说法，即人们基本的面部表情几乎是相同的。]
5．A [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In the United States，where an open emotion is quite common，it makes sense to focus on the mouth，which is the most expressive feature on a person’s face.”可知，美国人表达感情的方式是比较开放的。]
语篇定位
本文是一篇资讯报道。在美国，相对于男性而言，更多的女性从大学毕业或者获得学位。这使得人们为未来担心，因为这种情况会导致许多社会问题。比如，现在的教育问题对男性的影响，国家承担不起其半数人掌握不了未来所需要的技能的风险。
长难句分析
Traiman said the nation couldn’t afford to let half its population fail to develop skills needed for the future.
该句是一个含有宾语从句的复合句。其中afford意为“承担得起，买得起”，常和情态动词can或could连用；fail to do sth.是“未做某事，未履行某事”之意。句意为：Traiman说，这个国家承担不起其半数人掌握不了未来所需要的技能的风险。
6．D [细节理解题。第一段第一句“More women are graduating from colleges than men.”的大意是“相对于男性而言，更多的女性从大学毕业”，这是解答本题的重要根据。A项提到许多社会问题；B项说男性不喜欢大学生活；C项提到更多的非裔美国女性拿到学位，这些选项都和文章的主题没有联系，文中也没有相关的情节。]
7．C [是非判断题。根据第四段可以确定答案。人们并不知道关于上文提到的现象出现的原因，全文也没有就此给出肯定的回答。文章不能肯定教育制度有问题，所以A是错误的；B项所提到的内容与原文不符，原文中说的是40%的男性；由第二段可知，女性拿走了一半多的学位，那么男性拿到的学位就不到一半，所以D项也不对。]
8．A [词义猜测题。该词的意思在这里是“估计，估算”，A项和这个意思最接近。本句句意为：美国的教育部估算今年有698 000名女性获得了学士学位。explain解释；introduce介绍；discover发现，均与此处的语境不相符。]
9．D [推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句话可知，“这个国家承担不起其半数人掌握不了未来所需要的技能的风险”，对此我们可以理解为国家应该鼓励男性去学习深造。国家不能阻止女子接受大学教育，所以A项不对；国家穷不能发展教育，这个意思原文没有提到，所以B项也不对；C项和原文也没有联系。故答案为D项。]
10．B [主旨大意题。本文讨论的主题是：在美国，相对于男性而言，更多的女性从大学毕业或者获得学位。文章围绕这一点，从各个角度进行了分析讨论。]
Ⅷ.参考范文
Dear Mike，
I can understand your concern that spending time online might distract you from your studies.Most Internet users would agree that the Internet can at times be a distraction and a wasteful use of daylight hours，so to be addicted to the Internet is really harmful to your studies，and your health as well.
However，you’re also right that surfing online can be a useful means of relaxation.A heavy burden of study on the shoulder，we Senior 3 students need badly to find some time to get relaxed and refreshed.Besides，it’s also a great way of keeping in touch with friends you might be unable to see due to work pressures.
So my advice is to allow yourself some daily time online，such as an hour or two，but be strict with yourself.When the time you have allowed yourself for surfing is up，log off the Internet.You could also give yourself online time as a reward for finishing your studies.
Peter，Class 3
