　　【2015高考复习】阅读理解

　　Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners，city squares and in suburban supermarkets.In these free­for­all libraries，people can grab whatever they want to read，and leave behind anything they want for others.There’s no need to register，no due date，and you can take or give as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read.It is open for everybody，”

　　Michael

　　Aubermann，one of the organizers of the free book exchange said.

　　The western city’s latest public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm.It is the fourth free shelf that Aubermann’s group，the Cologne Citizen’s Foundation，has placed outside.“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and it’s been working really well，”

　　said Aubermann.The public bookshelves，which are usually financed by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups，have appeared independently of each other in many cities，suburbs and villages.Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover，with all the old titles replaced by new ones.

　　Even commercial book stores and online book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges.“We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition，”

　　said Elmar Muether.“If books are present everywhere，it helps our business，too.”

　　So far，the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems.Aubermann said，“Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.”

　　At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood，the lower shelves are reserved for children’s literature only.“It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this ‘reading culture on the street’—from old readers to kids to immigrants，” Aubermann said.

　　While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale_neighborhoods，Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods，where citizens often don’t have as much access to literature.

　　答案　CContrary to popular belief, looking at someone's face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are roaring in celebration or screaming in frustration, researchers claimed.While people may believe they have the ability to read each other's faces, body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.

　　In a study, groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.

　　In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player's full body, but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.

　　Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body, but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.

　　Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players' facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.

　　The researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy, pleasure, victory, pain and defeat.

　　Using photo­editing software, the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion, and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.

　　The resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions, demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.

　　Dr Aviezer, who led the study, said, “These results show that when emotions become extremely intense, the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear.The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations.For example, individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions, but if they are trained to process important body language, their performance may significantly improve.”

　　1.People tend to believe that ________.

　　A.someone's body language has an effect on their

　　feelings

　　B.reading someone's face alone cannot tell their feelings

　　C.someone's body language is the only clue to their feelings

　　D.someone's feelings can be read by their facial expressions

　　2.What do we know about the first study?

　　A.The participants were divided into four groups.

　　B.All participants were given the same pictures to see.

　　C.It proved that emotions influence people's body language.

　　D.Participants could tell the players' feelings when seeing the full picture.

　　3.What did Dr Aviezer think of the results of the study?

　　A.Ridiculous.　B.Useless.

　　C.Unrealistic.

　　D.Helpful.

　　4.Which of the following can summarize the main idea of the passage?

　　A.Body rather than eyes is the window of the soul.

　　B.Facial expressions can reflect the emotions clearly.

　　C.Researchers link emotions to body language through software.

　　D.Two studies focus on the link between body language and emotions.

　　father for Christmas written after his father had been knifed to

　　death outside his school gate，must have touched everyone’s

　　heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us，we cannot see the stars for a while.

　　But Lucien，the stars are still there，and one day，when you are older and your tears have gone，you will see them again.And，in a strange way，I expect that you will find your father there，too，in your mind and heart.I find that my parents，who died years ago，still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor，I was so proud，or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming，but when it did，all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children！” I haven’t forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.

　　It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors，and to lay down my life for those in my care？How many people would want me back for Christmas？It’s a serious thought，one to give me pause.

　　I pray silently，sometimes，in the dead of night，that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword，and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all，and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever，but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on，I’m sure，in the lives of those we love，and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true，there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

　　Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says.Beehives (蜂窝) — either recorded or real — may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers' crops.

　　In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them.Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops.But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.

　　Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder.Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life.Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down.Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.

　　From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre­recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera.Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds.Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees.Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them.When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed.Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.

　　Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times.She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.

　　1.We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of________.

　　A.loud noises　

　　B.some crops

　　C.video cameras

　　D.angry bees

　　2.Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?

　　A.To record the sound of bees.

　　3.As mentioned in the passage, Lucy________.

　　A.works by herself in Africa

　　D.has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms

　　4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A.Young elephants ignore African honeybees.

　　B.Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.

　　C.Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.

　　D.Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.
