Researchers from the University of Dundee in Scotland conducted a study that clarifies why you may want to have a small bite before making that big decision. Benjamin Vincent from the University of Dundees Psychology department and his co-author Jordan Skyrnka tested 50 people two times: once when they followed their normal eating patterns and once when they did not eat anything during the day. Using three different types of rewards (food, money, and song downloads), the team discovered when presented with the choice of receiving the reward now versus double the award at some point in the future, participants would usually volunteer to wait for 35 days to earn a larger bounty, but when they were hungry, they said they would only wait three days.“We wanted to know whether being in a state of hunger had a specific effect on how you make decisions only relating to food or if it had broader effects, and this research suggests decision-making gets more present-focused when people are hungry,” Vincent said in a story about the study on the universitys website. “You would predict that hunger would impact peoples preferences relating to food, but it is not yet clear why people get more present-focused for completely unrelated rewards. Hunger is so common that it is important to understand the non-obvious ways in which our preferences and decisions may be affected by it,” he said.In an earlier study of the subject by a team at Cambridge University in England, the researchers noted that serotonin plays a major role in the decision-making process. “Since the raw material for making serotoninan amino acid called tryptophan only comes from diet, levels of the chemical decline between meals,” reports a piece in the Telegraph about the study. “This can lead to aggressiveness and impulsiveness,” say the team.24. How did Benjamin Vincent and Jordan Skyrnka carry out their research?A. By analyzing reasons.B. By making comparison.C. By giving examples.D. By filling questionnaires.25. The underlined word “bounty” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by _.A. bonus.B. quantity.C. income.D. fortune.26. What conclusion can we draw from Vincent study?A. Its common to make a wrong decision if you are hungry.B. Make sure you are not hungry before making a big decision.C. The more hungry you are, the quicker you will make a decision.D. Being hungry drives you to make a decision connected with food.27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. What should be eaten to make a wise man.B. How can we get enough serotonin from our diet.C. What other factors will influence ones decision-making.D. How does a chemical function in the course of making a decision.CA 63-year-old Chinese carpenters traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood, without glue, screws or nails.

In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. However, people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication whether video or audio only made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can "correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person."Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message. Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.32. What is the purpose of the study?A. To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.B. To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.C. To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.D. To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.33. Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away?A. Typing a letter.B. Sending an email.C. Having a video chat.D. Texting a message.34. What does "a controlled form of communication" refer to in Paragraph 4?A. A way to talk about controlled topics.B. A way to communicate without time limit.C. A way to explain something without delay.D. A way to express thoughts without being disturbed.35. What advantage does making phone calls over texting?A. Being more formal.B. Being less awkward.C. Being more straightforward.D. Being less expensive第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When early colonial settlers went to America, they took many forms of dance to their new home. Square dancing, one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing, developed from several different Old World group dances, mainly English country dances, and the French quadrille (卡德利尔舞).In the American version, a square is formed by four couples.36. Each couple stands on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right. An American addition to square dancing is the caller.The callersomeone who calls out the dance steps in time to the musicwas a completely American invention.37. Later the dances became so complicated that it was necessary to have someone call out cues (暗示). Thus, dancers didn't have to remember so many steps. The caller didn't just call out “do-se-do your partner”; a good caller also came up with colorful sayings or witty lines that he would say in between the cues such as "Don't be bashful (羞怯的) and don't be afraid."38. Although popular for years, square dancing seemed to be going out of style and fading away until the early 1930s, when Henry Ford helped revive interest in it. Ford, the automobile manufacturer, used to vacation at the Wayside Inn in Massachusetts.39. Ford asked Lovett to come to Detroit and teach dances, but Lovett said he couldn't because he had a contract with the inn. Ford solved that problem by buying the inn and Lovett's contract. He took Lovett back to Detroit, where together they esta
