Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Scientists have been struggling to find out the reason behind blushing(脸红). Why would humans evolve(进化)a 1 that puts us at a social disadvantage by 2 us to reveal that we have cheated or lied?
Charles Darwin pointed out that 3 all people of all races blush, animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 4 a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.
One 5 is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became 6 complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 7 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.
8 that women blush more than men, one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 9 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 10 a stone-faced partner, you could never 11 what he wants. "he says. Once blushing became 12 with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 13 likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 14 about anything.

Ⅳ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

There are many stereotypes about the character of people in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable. Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions. A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.
American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.
When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.

1. The main idea of the passage is ______.

A.even Americans are surprised at the big differences among themselves

When I was about 12 1 had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn't a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on. I put up with her as long as I could. At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears.
He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?"
True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it?
"Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change.
For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.
"That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you've got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you'll know it. You'll find that it will echo inside you."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.

D.Quarrelling with her.

Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.

1. Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ______.

A.they can eat its parasites
B.they depend on the sheep for existence
C.they enjoy travelling with the sheep
D.they find the position most comfortable

A B C D

D.oxygen

4. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?

A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.
B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C.Some plants depend on each other for food.
D.Some animals live better together.

Many people want to know how to analyze problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.

1. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except ______.

A.recognize and define the problem
B.look for information to make the problem clearer
C.have suggestions for a possible solution
D.find a solution by trial or mistake

A B C D

选项A在第二段；选项B在第四段；选项C在倒数第二段。选项D是正确的。

2. By referring to Sam's broken bicycle, the author intends to ______.

A.illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle
B.discuss the problems of his bicycle
C.tell us how to solve a problem
D.show us how simple it is to repair a bicycle

A B C D

以Sam为例告诉读者如何解决问题。这也是全篇的中心。选项C是正确的。

3. As used in the last sentence, the phrase "in short" means ______.

A.in the long run
B.in detail
C.in fact
D.in a word

A B C D

最后一段。这里应是总结或归纳性质的。In the long run就长远来说，in detail就细节而言，in fact事实上，in a word简言之、一句话。选项D是正确的。

4. What is the best title for this passage?

A.Six Stages for Repairing Sam's Bicycle.
B.Possible Steps of Problem-solving.
C.Necessities of Problem Analysis.
D.Importance of Analyzing a Problem.

A B C D

选项B是正确的。作者以Sam为例，但并不是告诉读者如何修Sam的车(选项A)；文章也并不是谈分析问题的必要性或重要性(选项C和D)。
