二、完形填空题（每题1.5分，共20题）

The gift of being able to describe a face accurately is a rare one. As a professor 【B1】 it recently: "When we try to describe faces precisely words 【B2】 us, and we 【B3】 to identikit (拼脸型图) procedures."

    【B4】 . according to a research 【B5】 this subject, we can each probably recognize more than 1,000 faces, the majority of which differ in 【B6】 details. This, when one comes to think of it, is a 【B7】 feat, though, curiously enough, relatively little attention has been devoted to the fundamental problems of how and why we 【B8】 this gift for recognizing and remembering faces.

    Some scientists argue that it is an inborn 【B9】 . and that there are "special characteristics about the brain''s 【B10】 to distinguish faces". On the other hand, there are those, and they are probably 【B11】 the majority, who claim that the gift is an acquired one.

    But 【B12】 all these arguments, sight is predominant. 【B13】 at the very beginning of life, the ability to recognize faces quickly becomes an 【B14】 habit, one that is essential for daily living, if not 【B15】 for survival. How essential and valuable it is we probably do not 【B16】 until we encounter people who have been 【B17】 of the faculty (能力). This unfortunate inability to recognize familiar faces is known to all, 【B18】 such people can often recognize individuals by their voices or their walking manners. With typical human 【B19】 many of these unfortunate people overcome their handicap by recognizing other 【B20】 features.

三、阅读理解题（每题2.5分，共20题）

1、Children are getting so fat they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed yesterday. Today’s youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes(糖尿病) because of their weight. Fatty fast- food diets combined with sedentary(长坐的) lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

　　 At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat. Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38in, and may be 42-44, by 2032. This compares with only 32.6in. in 1972.Women’s waists have grown from an average of 22in. in 1920 to 24in. in the Fifties and 30in. now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger.

　　In the UK alone, more than one million under- 16s are classed as overweight or obese(过度肥胖的)— double the number in the mid Eighties. One in ten four-year- olds are also medically classified as obese.

　　The obesity(肥胖症) pandemic（流行病）—an extensive epidemic— which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australasia, Central America and the Middle East. Many nations now record more than 20 per cent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight.

　　 Prof. Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by an oversupply of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.

　　 He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases. Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease as well as diabetes. An averagely obese person’s lifespan is shortened by around nine years while a severely obese person by many more.

　　 Prof. Prentice said: ”So will parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist? The answer is yes and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US. Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health.”

　　So say” No” to that doughnut and burger.

1. Prof. Andrew Prentice said that the life of an extremely fat child________

A. might be shorter　

B. might be longer　

C. shorter than his father, but longer than his mother

　　D. might be longer than his father, but shorter than his mother

2. The word “prey”(Line 3, Para.1) means________

　　A. victim　B. vitamin　　C. food　　D. fool

3. Which of the following fails to refer to an obese child?

A. An extremely weighty child.　

B. An extremely fat child.　

C. An extremely fatty child.　

D. An over weight child.

4. According to the passage, obesity is an extensive epidemic starting in __________

　　A. Asia　　B. North America　　C. Europe　　D. Central America

5. Which of the following disease is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　A. pneumonia　　B. diabetes　　C. heart disease　　D. stroke

2、Proxemics(空间关系学) is the study of what governs how closely one person stands to another. People who feel close will be close, though the actual distances will vary between cultures. For Amreicans we can discern four main categories of distance: intimate, personal, social and public. Intimate ranges from direct contact to about 45 centimeters. This is for the closest relationships such as those between husband and wife. Beyond this comes personal distance. This stands at between 45 and 80 centimeters. It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives. Social distance covers people who work together or are meeting at social gatherings. Distances here tend to be kept between 1.30 to 2 meters. Beyond this comes public distance, such as that between a lecturer and his audience.

　　All cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what is an inappropriate social distance for different types of relationship. They differ, however, in where they draw these lines. Look at an international reception withrepresentatives from the US and Arabic countries conversing and you will see the Americans pirouetting(快速旋转) backwards around the hall pursued by their Arab partners. The Americans will be trying to keep the distance between themselves and their partners which they have grown used to regarding as “normal”. They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their partners, though they may have vague feeling that their Arab neighbors are being a bit “pushy”. The Arab, on the other hand, coming from a culture where much closer distance is the norm, may be feeling that the Americans are being “stand-offish”. Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation with they will persistently pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them.

The appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures too. One study of the number of times people conversing in coffee shops over a one hour period showed the following interesting variations: London, 0; Florida, 2; Paris, 10; and Puerto Rico 180. Not only dose it vary between societies, however, it also varies between different subcultures within one society. Young people in Britain, for example, are more likely to touch and hug friends than are the older generation. This may be partly a matter of growing older, but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at a time when touching was less common for all age groups. Forty years ago, for example, footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today.　　    

1.In proxemics, ____governs the standing space between two persons.

　　 A. distance　 B. culture　　 C. conversation　　 D. relationship

2.The word “stand-offish”(Line 14, Para. 2) could best be replaced by_________.

　　 A. cold and distant in behaviour　 B. ungentlemanlike in behaviour

　　 C. inhuman in behaviour　　 D. polite in behaviour

3. In conversation with an American partner at an international reception, an Arab deems that close distant is _________.

　　 A. appropriate　 B. inappropriate　　 C. rash　 D. impetuous

4. We can infer from the third paragragh that the appropriateness of physical contact also varies with_________.

　　 A. time　　 B. city　　 C. country　　 D. people

5. The best title for the passage would be __________.

　　 A. Proxemics　 B. Appropriateness of Social Distance

　　 C. Appropriateness Relationships Between Two Persons D. Appropriateness Physical Contact Between Two Persons

3、In the past century Irish painting has changes from a British-influenced lyrical tradition to an art that evokes the ruggedness and roots of an Irish Celtic past. At the turn of the twentieth century Irish painters, including notables Walter Frederick Osborne and Sir William Orpen, looked elsewhere for influence. Osborne’s exposure to “plein air” painting deeply impacted his stylistic development; and Orpen allied himself with a group of English artists, while at the same time participated in the French avant-garde experiment, both as painter and teacher.

　　However, nationalist energies were beginning to coalesce (接合)，reviving interest in Irish culture-including Irish visual arts. Beatrice Elvery’s (1907), a landmark achievement, merged the devotional simplicity of fifteenth-century Italian painting with the iconography (肖像画法) of Ireland’s Celtic past, linking the history of Irish Catholicism with the still-nasce t (初生的) Irish republic. And, although also captivated by the French plein air school, Sir John Lavery invoked the mythology of his native land for a 1928 commission to paint the central figure for the bank note of the new Irish Free State. Lavery chose as this figure, with her arm on a Celtic harp (竖琴)，the national symbol of independent Ireland.

　　In Irish painting from about 1910, memories of Edwardian romanticism coexisted with a new sense of realism,exemplified by the paintings of Paul Henry and Se Keating, a student of Orpen’s. realism also crept into the work of Edwardians Lavery and Orpen, both of whom made paintings depicting World WarⅠ,Lavery with a distanced Victorian nobility, Orpen closer to the front, revealing a more sinister and realistic vision. Meanwhile, counterpoint to the Edwardians and realists came Jack B. Yeats, whose travels throughout the rugged and more authentically Irish West led him to depict subjects ranging from street scenes in Dublin to boxing matches and funerals. Fusing close observations of Irish life and icons with an Irish identity in a new way, Yeats changed the face of Irish painting and became the most important Irishartist of his century.

1. Which of the following art most probably exerted the greatest influence on Irish painting in the 19th century?

　　 A. British lyrical tradition

B. French avant-garde experiment　

C. notionalist energies

D. Italian painting

2. It is implied_________was least influenced by the contemporary art of Frence.

　　 A. Sir John Lavery B. Sir William Orpen　 C. Beatrice Elvery　 D. Se Keating

3. Which of the following best explains the author’s use of the word “counterpoint” in referring to Yeats?

　　 A. Yeats’ paintings differed significantly in subject matter from those of his contemporaries in Ireland.

　　 B. Yeats reacted to the realism of his contemporary artists by invoking nineteenth-century naturalism in his own painting style.

　　 C. Yeats avoided religious and mythological themes in favor of mundane portrayals of Irish life.

　　 D. Yeats built upon the realism painting tradition, elevating it to unprecedented artistic heights.

4. The author points out the coexistence of romanticism and realism most probably in order to show that_________.

　　 A. Irish painters of the early twentieth century tended to romanticize the harsh reality of war

　　 B. for a time painters from each school influenced painters from the other school

　　 C. Yeats was influenced by both the romantic and realist schools of Irish painting

　　 D. the transition in Irish painting from one predominant style to the other was not an abrupt one

5. The most likely topic of the paragraph followed is _________.

　　 A. The Role of Celtic Mythology in Irish Painting

　　 B. Who Deserves Credit for the Preeminence of Yeats among Irish Painters?

　　 C. Realism vs. Romanticism: Ireland’s Struggle for National Identity

　　 D. Irish Paintings: Reflections of an Emerging Independent State

4、The moden world only recently reached the Yanomano, a native people of the Amazon basin. Sheltered by thick rainforest,the Yanomano lived a self-contained existence until gold was discovered in their jungle homeland. Miners flocked into the forests, cutting down trees and bringing disease and shot those Yanomano who would not get out of the way. In just seven years from the early 1980s, the population fell 20 per cent.　　

　　Hands Around the World, a native American cultural association, says the Yanomano are believed to be the most culturally intact people in the world. They wear loin cloths, use fire sticks and decorate their bodies with dye from a red berry(桨果). They don’t use the wheel and the only metal they use is what has been traded to them by outsiders. When a Yanomano dies, the body is burned and the remaining bones crushed into a powder and turned into a drink that is later consumed by mourners in memory of the dead.　　

　　A Hands Around the World report says that in South America not only are the cultures and traditions in danger of disappearing, but some tribes are in danger of extinction. “The Yanomano is a well-known tribe that is rapidly losing its members through the destruction of Western disease,” the report says. Before illegal gold miners entered their rainforest, the Yanomano were isolated from modern sociaty.　　

　　They occupy dense jungle north of the Amazon River between Venezuela and Brazil and are catalogued by anthropologists(人类学家) as neo-indians with cultural characteristics that date back more than 8,000 years. Each community lives in a circular communal house, some of which sleep up to 400, built around a central square.　　

　　Though many Yanomano men are monogamous, it is not unusual for them to have two or more wives. Anthropologists from the University of Wisconsin say polygamy is a way to increase one’s wealth because having a large family increases help with hunting and cultivating the land. These marriages result in a shortage of women for other men to marry, which has led to inter-tribal wars.　　

　　Each Yanomano man is responsible for clearing his land for gardening, using slash-and-hum farming methods. They grow plantains, a type of banana eaten cooked, and hunt game animals, fish and anaconda(南美热带蟒蛇) using bows and arrows.

1. Miners flocked into the forest and shot those Yanomano who _______.

　　A. sheltered in thick rainforest　　B. would not leave their jungle homeland

　　C. lived a self-contained existence　　D. would stand in their way

2. The organization called Hands Around the World believes that culturally, the Yanomano is the world’s__________.

　　A. most primitive people　B. most backward people

　　C. most advanced people　　D. oldest people

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to an American cultural association report?

　　A. In South America, the cultures are on the verge of extinction.

　　B. In South America, the traditions are on the verge of extinction.

　　C. In South America, the Yanomano can survive extinction.

　　D. In South America, some tribes are on the verge of extinction.

4. ___caused the Yanomano to have inter-tribal wars.

　　A. The shortage of women resulting from polygamy

　　B. The difference in wealth resulting from polygamy

　　C. The shortage of women resulting from monogamy

　　D. The difference in wealth resulting from monogamy

5. We can infer from the passage that it is imperative for us to protect the Yanomano because__________.

　　A. it is a clturally most intact people

　　B. it is a primitive people deep in jungle

　　C. it is a native people of the Amazon basin

　　D. it is primitive people in danger of disappearing
