　　Charles Darwin pointed out that 23__________ all people of all races blush，animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 24 __________ a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.

　　One 25 __________ is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became 26__________ complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27__________ such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals at a disadvantage，but blushing might actually make a person more 28 __________ or socially desirable.

　　29__________ that women blush more than men，one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30__________ their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as a way to foster trust. " If you were to go hunting 31__________ a stone-faced partner，you could never 32__________ what he wants. “he says.

　　Once blushing became 33 __________ with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 __________ likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 __________ about anything.

　　第21題單選 填入(21)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. response

　　B. reply

　　C. reflection

　　D. recall

　　參考答案：A

　　參考解析：文章主題是人類(lèi)為什么會(huì)臉紅。response意為“反應(yīng)”;reply意為“回復(fù)”;reflection意為“反射，倒影”;recall意為“回憶”。根據(jù)文章主題，臉紅是一種反應(yīng)。

　　第22題單選 填入(22)處的最佳答案是()。ding

　　B. forcing

　　C. encouraging

　　D. preventing

　　參考答案：B

　　參考解析：forbid意為“禁止”;force意為“迫使”;encourage意為“鼓勵(lì)”;prevent意為“阻止”。根據(jù)原文，臉紅會(huì)暴露自己在說(shuō)謊。

　　第23題單選 填入(23)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. when

　　B. while

　　C. since

　　D. because

　　參考答案：B

　　參考解析：這里引用達(dá)爾文所說(shuō)的話。when和while都表示“當(dāng)……時(shí)候”的意思，但while 有“與……相反”的意思，翻譯成“然而，卻”。since和because表示原因。根據(jù)上下文，這里是說(shuō)人類(lèi)與動(dòng)物不一樣，人類(lèi)會(huì)臉紅，而動(dòng)物卻不臉紅。應(yīng)選擇表示相反的詞。

　　第24題單選 填入(24)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. on

　　B. in

　　C. at

　　D. of

　　參考答案：C

　　第25題單選 填入(25)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. suggestion

　　B. advice

　　C. solution

　　D. question

　　參考答案：A

　　參考解析：suggestion意為“建議”;advice意為“勸告”;solution意為“解決”;question意為“問(wèn)題”。達(dá)爾文解不開(kāi)的謎，更多的人想試一試。所謂“試(trying)”就是不肯定。

　　第26題單選 填入(26)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. apparently

　　B. completely

　　C. awkwardly

　　D. increasingly

　　參考答案：D

　　參考解析：apparently意為“明顯地”;completely意為“完全地”;awkwardly意為“危險(xiǎn)地，不舒服地”;increasingly意為“日益地”。根據(jù)原文，社會(huì)在發(fā)展，社會(huì)交往肯定也是日益復(fù)雜。

　　第27題單選 填入(27)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. moods

　　B. senses

　　C. emotions

　　D. tempers

　　參考答案：C

　　參考解析：mood意為“情緒、心情”;sense意為“感官”;emotion意為“情感”;temper意為“脾氣”。原文列舉了如guilt(愧疚)、shame(羞愧)、embarrassment(尷尬)等感覺(jué)。這些顯然不屬于sense(感官)和temper(脾氣)，排除。mood和emotion的區(qū)別在于，mood表示就某種事件或某段時(shí)間影響下所產(chǎn)生的心情或情緒，emotion表示主觀上的下意識(shí)的感覺(jué)。原文在分析人類(lèi)臉紅的原因，從人類(lèi)自身的情感著手。所以，這里應(yīng)是emotion。

　　第28題單選 填入(28)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. privileged

　　B. embarrassed

　　D. attractive

　　參考答案：D

　　參考解析：privileged意為“享有特權(quán)的”;embarrassment意為“尷尬”;energetic意為“充 滿活力的”;attractive意為“有吸引力的”。根據(jù)原文空格后的“or socially desirable(社交上更合適)”判斷，attractive(有吸引力的)最恰當(dāng)：人類(lèi)的臉紅可能使 人更具有吸引力或者說(shuō)社交上更合適。

　　第29題單選 填入(29)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. Noting

　　B. Providing

　　C. Assuming

　　D. Hoping

　　參考答案：A

　　第30題單選 填入(30)處的最佳答案是()。

　　參考解析：assure意為“確信”;approve意為“批準(zhǔn)”;confirm意為“確認(rèn)”;demonstrate意為“顯示，證明”。根據(jù)原文，女性的臉紅是向男性表示誠(chéng)實(shí)的一種方式。

　　第31題單選 填入(31)處的最佳答案是()。

　　第32題單選 填入(32)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. say

　　B. speak

　　C. tell

　　D. talk

　　參考答案：C

　　參考解析：C say意為“說(shuō)”;speak意為“發(fā)言”;tell意為“告訴”;talk意為“談話”。根據(jù)原文，可直接排除speak和talk。say和tell的區(qū)別是，say表示所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容，通常陳述說(shuō)者原話，tell把信息傳達(dá)給別人。根據(jù)原文，你根本不知道他要什么。

　　第33題單選 填入(33)處的最佳答案是()。

　　第34題單選 填入(34)處的最佳答案是()。

　　B. that

　　D. so

　　參考答案：C

　　第35題單選 填入(35)處的最佳答案是()。

　　A. ashamed

　　B. disappointed

　　C. satisfied

　　D. pleased

　　參考答案：A

　　參考解析：C、A最后一句話兩個(gè)空連起來(lái)分析，先分析后者。全文試圖分析人類(lèi)臉紅的原因。人類(lèi)臉紅也是自我意識(shí)情感的反映，諸如內(nèi)疚、羞愧、尷尬等等。所以，如果有人從不感到羞恥，那我們可能很少會(huì)相信這個(gè)人。less likely to trust很少會(huì)相信。

　　四、Reading Comprehension (75 points)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET Ⅰ.

　　June came and the hay (干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.

　　It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out Of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used

　　to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.

　　It was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents were poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!

　　" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fishermen's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.

　　In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bund for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans, yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates (海盜) . Whatever happened, the secret -- along with a treasure valued near $100,000,000 in today's dollars -- was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.

　　Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.

　　Due to the historic discovery of the treasure, GovMint.com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, these authentic silver dollars are priced at$49 plus shipping and handling -- a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.

　　第40題單選 What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?

　　A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.

　　B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.

　　C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.

　　The environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorated" three rooms. One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room. Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue and green.

　　Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy (親密) that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or a classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.

　　Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others; but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.

　　第44題單選 Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be __.

　　A. less patient

　　B. less considerate

　　C. more enthusiastic

　　D. more confident

　　參考答案：A

　　參考解析：這是有關(guān)環(huán)境對(duì)人類(lèi)心理影響的科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)。第一段的后半截，被請(qǐng)到三個(gè)經(jīng)過(guò)布置的房間里的受試者感覺(jué)非常不愉快，并且急于離開(kāi)房間。

　　第45題單選 Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?

　　A. Gree

　　B. Blu

　　C. Orang

　　D. Re

　　參考答案：B

　　參考解析：第二段。顏色會(huì)影響人們的注意力。從能使人愉悅因而保持注意力的角度，色彩從強(qiáng)到弱排列，第一位的就是藍(lán)色。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。后面又說(shuō)，最能令人振奮的顏色是紅色，所以選項(xiàng)D是錯(cuò)的。

　　第46題單選 What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?

　　A. Arousing active thinkin

　　B. Improving work efficienc

　　C. Creating a tense atmospher

　　There is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants (移植) often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.

　　In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number of performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.

　　"Implants must sometimes be replaced," said Dr. Henrik Malchau, an orthopedic surgeon (矯正外科醫(yī)生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.

　　"The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation," said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.

　　The failure rate should be lower, many experts agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Even country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rates significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

　　A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.

　　第48題單選 What is the problem with hip or knee replacement in the U.S.?

　　The Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive (重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for livelihood -- business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.

　　As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the magazine's content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic (昏昏欲睡的)America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.
