As a professor _21_ it recently: “When we try to describe faces precisely words _22_ us, and we _23_ to identikit （拼脸 型图） procedures.” _24_ according to a research _25_ this subject, we can each probably r

11、ecognize more than 1,000 faces, the majority of which differ in _26_ details. This, when one comes to think of it, is a _27_ feat, though, curiously enough, relatively little attention has been devoted to the fundamental problems of how and why we _28_ this gift for recognizing and remembering faces

12、. Some scientists argue that it is an inborn _29_ . and that there are “special characteristics about the brains _30_ to distinguish faces”. On the other hand, there are those, and they are probably _31_ the majority, who claim that the gift is an acquired one. But _32_ all these arguments, sight is

13、 predominant. _33_ at the very beginning of life, the ability to recognize faces quickly becomes an _34_ habit, one that is essential for daily living, if not _35_ for survival. How essential and valuable it is we probably do not _36_ until we en-counter people who have been _37_ of the faculty （ 能力

14、）.This unfortunate inability to recognize familiar faces is known to all, _38_ such people can often recognize individuals by their voices or their walking manners. With typical human _39_ many of these unfortunate people overcome their handicap by recognizing other _40_ features. 21. A. described B

15、. said C. put D. talked about 22. A. take B. fail C. help D. desert 23. A. resort B. seek C. move D. react 24. A. Yet B. Consequently C. In addition D. In contrast 25.

18、rticular三、阅读理解题（共 20 题） Passage 1 Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses. Snap decisions can be important defense m

19、echanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It take

20、s a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness. But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli arent exclusive to the interpersonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast -food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to

21、 read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else were doing. Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long. Yet we can revers

22、e such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive

23、 female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biasesor hire outside screeners. John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “thin slice” information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “thick sliced” long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to asses

24、s whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation: two days, not two seconds. Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: dogs can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minut

25、es. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we react, it hasnt changed our nature. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend. 41. The time needed in maki

26、ng decisions may _. A. vary according to the urgency of the situation B. prove the complexity of our brain reaction C. depend on the importance of the assessment D. predetermine the accuracy of our judgment 42. Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions _. A. can be associative B. ar

27、e not unconscious C. can be dangerous D. are not impulsive 43. To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions, we should _. A. trust our first impression B. do as people usually do C. think before we act D. ask for expert advice 44. John Gottman says that reliable snap reactions are based on _

28、. A. critical assessment B. “thin sliced” study C. sensible explanation D. adequate information 45. The authors attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is _. A. tolerant B. uncertain C. optimistic D. doubtful Passage 2 Americans no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing

29、, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views,

30、 sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English. Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another criticism against the decline in education. Mr. McWhorters academic speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual

31、 disappearance of “whom”, for example, to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-endings of Old English. But the cult of the authentic and the personal,“doing our own thing”, has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sough

32、t an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative genre is the only form that could claim real liveliness. In both oral and written Eng

33、lish,talkingis triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft. Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like, care. As a ling

34、uist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressivethere exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas. He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do

35、 not talk proper. Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned to most English-speakers. Mr. McWhorter acknowledges that formal language is not strictly nec

36、essary,and proposes no radical education reformshe is really grieving over the loss of something beautiful more than useful. We now take our English “on paper plates instead of china”. A shame, perhaps, but probably an inevitable one. 46. According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English _. A. i

37、s inevitable in radical education reforms B. is but all too natural in language development C. has caused the controversy over the counter-culture D. brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s 47. The word “talking” (Para. 3) denotes _. A. modesty B. personality C. liveliness D. informal

38、ity 48. To which of the following statements would McWhorter most likely agree? A. Logical thinking is not necessarily related to the way we talk. B. Black English can be more expressive than standard English. C. Non-standard varieties of human language are just as entertaining. D. Of all the variet

39、ies, standard English can best convey complex ideas. 49. The description of Russians love of memorizing poetry shows the authors _. A. interest in their language B. appreciation of their efforts C. admiration for their memory D. contempt for their old-fashionedness 50. According to the last paragrap

40、h, “paper plates” is to “china” as _. A. “temporary” is to “permanent” B. “radical” is to “conservative” C. “functional” is to “artistic” D. “humble” is to “noble” Passage 3 Lonely people, it seems, are at greater risk than the gregarious of developing illnesses associated with chronic inflammation,

41、 such as heart disease and certain cancers. A paper published last year in the Public Library of Science, Medicine, shows the effect on mortality of loneliness is comparable with that of smoking and drinking after examining the results of 148 previous studies and controlled for factors such as age a

42、nd pre-existing illness. Steven Cole of the University of California, Los Angeles, thinks he may know why this is so. He told the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington, D.C., about his work studying the expression of genes in lonely people. Dr. Cole harvested samp

43、les of white blood cells from both lonely and gregarious people. He then analysed the activity of their genes, as measured by the production of a substance called messenger RNA. This molecule carries instructions from the genes telling a cell which proteins to make. The level of messenger RNA from m

44、ost genes was the same in both types of people. There were several dozen genes, however, that were less active in the lonely, and several dozen others that were more active. Moreover, both the less active and the more active gene types came from a small number of functional groups. Broadly speaking,

45、 the genes less active in the lonely were those involved in staving off viral infections. Those that were more active were involved in protecting against bacteria. Dr. Cole suspects this could help explain not only why the lonely are iller, but how, in evolutionary terms, this odd state of affairs has come about. The crucial bit of the puzzle is that viruses have to be caught from another infected individual and they are usually species-specific. Bacteria, in contrast, often just lurk in the environment, and may thrive on many hosts. The gregarious are therefore at greater risk than the lonel
