高考题型提能练(十四)　Unit 14

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Contrary 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 photo-editing 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.

　　(2024·河南六市联考)At an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach (蟑螂) flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cockroach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.

　　The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.

　　Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: Was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.

　　It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it's not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.

　　It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jams. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

　　I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive (本能的) while responses tend to be well thought out.

　　5.What happened in the outdoor restaurant?

　　A.A cockroach was found in a woman's food and then a man found the same problem.

　　B.A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.

　　C.A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.

　　D.A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.

　　6.What's the meaning of the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5?

　　A.Confusion.B.Success.

　　C.Poverty.

　　D.Harmony.

　　7.According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you might ________ in your car.

　　A.complain your delay

　　B.feel upset and annoyed

　　C.relax yourself by listening to music

　　D.expect someone to clear the road

　　8.What does the passage tell us?

　　A.Speak less, do more!

　　B.Actions speak louder than words!

　　C.Mind your manners while in a restaurant!

　　D.Don't react just from your feelings; respond positively!

　　The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids.

　　1.________ Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what's appropriate for our family：

　　Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn't a big issue if you're not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.”

　　2.________

　　Don't trust network ratings. A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn't take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important. 3.________ There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.

　　4.________ The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I'm aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention (干涉).

　　Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can't shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn't fit exactly with our values. They're going to hear a swear word from time to time — and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we're watching are kissing.

　　5.________

　　A.If it doesn't feel good, turn it off.

　　B.And be aware of cartoons!

　　C.We can talk about what we see, though, using story-lines to teach lessons when possible.

　　D.The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.

　　E.But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?

　　F.Watch TV with them.

　　G.Still, a little bit of television doesn't hurt and can be fun.
