Putting feelings into words makes sadness and anger less intense, U. S. brain researchers said on
!!
Wednesday, in a ?nding that explains why S1 to a therapist often makes people feel better.!
They said talking about negative feelings S2 a part of the brain S3 for impulse control. "This region of the brain seems to be S4 in putting on the brakes, "said researcher Matthew Lieberman. He and colleagues
S5 the brains of 30 people-18 women and 12 men between 18 and 36-who were shown pictures of faces
S6 strong emotions. They were asked to S7 the feelings in words like sad or angry, or to choose between !
two gender-speci?c names S8 "Sally or Harry" that matched the face.!
S9 they found is that when people S10 a word like "angry" to an angry-looking face, the S11 in the portion of the brain that handles fear, panic and other strong emotions decreased. "This seems to dampen !
down the response in these basic emotional S12 in the brain"Lieberman said in a telephone interview.! What lights S13 instead is the part of the brain that controls impulses. "This is the only region of the entire brain that is more active when you choose an emotional word for the picture S14 when you choose a name for the picture, " he said.!
!
He said the same region of the brain has been found in S15 studies to play a role in motor control. "If you are driving along and you see a yellow light, you have to inhibit one response in order to S16 on the brake, !
" he said. "This same region helps to inhibit emotional responses as well. "!
The researchers did not ?nd signi?cant differences along gender lines, S17 Lieberman said prior studies had hinted at some S18 in the bene?ts men and women derived from talking about their feelings. "Women may do more of this S19 , but when men are instructed to do it, they may get S20 bene?t from it, " he said.!

31.Correct the errors in the lines marked “Sx”!
Sporting activities are essentially modi?ed forms of hunting
behavior. Viewing biologically, the modern footballer is revealed as a S1.________
member of a disguised hunting pack. His killing weapon has turned into
a harmless football and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is inaccurate S2.________
and he scores a goal, enjoys the hunter's triumph of killing his prey. S3._________
To understand how this transformation has taken place we
must brie?y look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over a S4.________
million year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival S5._______
depended on success in the hunting-?eld. Under this pressure their whole
way of life, even if their bodies, became radically changed. They became S6.________
chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers.
They co-operate as skillful male-group attackers. S7.________
Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely long S8.________
formative period of hunting for food, they became farmers. Their
improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, were put to a new S9._______
use-that of penning ( 把……关在圈中), controlling and domesticating
their prey. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The
!
risks and uncertainties of farming were no longer essential for survival. S10._______
32.Read the following passage and answer the questions!
Seeing in Stereo!
Have you ever asked yourself why you have two eyes instead of one, three, or even hundreds as some insects have? Have you wondered why your eyes are set close together on the front of your face rather than on the sides of your head, as on animals like rabbits, antelopes, and horses? The reasons are simple—and !
important to the way you see the rest of your world.!
Your eyes are like two small cameras. A camera captures an image of an object and records this image in miniature on a small piece of ?lm. Similarly, when you look at something, each eye takes in what it sees and sends this image to the back of the eyeball. From each eye, an optic nerve then sends the image to the brain. Because your eyes are set close together, they view the world from about the same height but from
slightly different angles. While your right eye sees an object a little to the right, your left eye sees the same object slightly to the left. Working as a team, the eyes send the images to the part of your brain called the !
cerebral cortex, which assembles them into a single, centered image.!
Seeing with two eyes working together is called stereoscopic vision. This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3-D. These dimensions are height, width, and depth. Perceiving depth allows you to judge the distance between you and the objects you see. It also helps you to adjust to the changing angle at which you see something as you move closer to or farther away from it. As you walk along a sidewalk, for example, seeing in stereo helps you to know how close you are to the street, how far you need to walk to arrive at a certain building, and how close you are to stepping on a rock or a piece of glass. As your body moves, your eyes give you a continual ?ow of information about where things are in relation to where you !
are.!
If images are coming from only one eye, however, only two of these dimensions—height and width—can be perceived. A world seen with one eye is thus two-dimensional, as in a photograph. Depth perception is !
lacking, making it more dif?cult to move around safely.!
Now consider why your two eyes are located on the front of your face. Think of other animals with this same arrangement. Some examples are lions, wolves, and owls. What do these creatures have in common? They are all animals that hunt. These animals have eyes facing directly in front of them. This provides a ?eld of !
vision that is about 180 degrees wide, like a half-circle. This kind of sight is called binocular vision.!
On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head. This provides nearly a 360-degree ?eld of vision. Because these animals need to be on the alert in order to stay alive, they need to see things coming from the sides and from behind. However, without stereoscopic vision, these animals have a !
more dif?cult time determining how far away a threat is.!
With vision that is both stereoscopic and binocular, humans share with predators the ability to see clearly from side to side and to accurately determine how far away objects are. If you think it would be great to have another type of vision, perhaps with hundreds of tiny eyes like many insects do, think again! Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part of what the creature is viewing. Besides, what if you needed glasses? Be glad for !
the eyesight that you have.!
(1)Read the sentence from the passage. !
If images are coming from only one eye, however, only two of these dimensions— height and width—can be perceived. !
In this sentence, perceived means !
A taken.
B seen.
C understood.
D set.!
(2)Which claim from the article is least supported by factual evidence? !
A Your eyes are like two small cameras. !
B This allows you to view the world in three dimensions, or 3-D. !
C On the other hand, animals that are hunted have eyes on the sides of the head. !
D If you think it would be great to have another type of vision . . . think again! !
(3)According to this passage, an eye is like a camera because both !
A have an optic nerve.
B are able to perceive color.!
C record images in miniature.
D work only while remaining still.!
(4)Stereoscopic vision is a result of having !
A.hundreds of eyes, all seeing parts of an image. !
B.two eyes close to one another that work together. !
C. a three-hundred-sixty-degree ?eld of vision. !
D.one eye on either side of the head, each seeing a different image. !
(5)Owls, hawks, and eagles have eyes facing frontward because they are !
A prey.
B birds.
C hunters.
D large.!
(6)This article would most likely be found in a !
A.textbook about animal behavior.
B.popular science or health magazine.!
C.newspaper’s local news section.
D.professional journal for eye doctors.!
(7)The author of this passage concludes that “seeing in stereo” !
A helps people to have better vision than animals have. !
B would be better if it allowed for a wider ?eld of vision. !
C is an ability humans are fortunate to have. !
!
D is similar to the way cameras work. !
33. Read the following passage and answer the questions!
That night as Easton walked home through the rain he felt very depressed. It had been a very bad summer for most people and he had not fared better than the rest. A few weeks with one ?rm, a few days with
!
another, then out of a job, then on again for a month perhaps, and so on.!
William Easton was a man of medium height, about 23 years old, with fair hair and moustache and blue !
eyes. His clothes, though shabby, were clean and neat but the holes in his shoes made it painful to walk.!
He was married: his wife was a young woman whose acquaintance he had made when he happened to be employed with others painting the outside of the house where she was a general servant. Easton had been in no hurry to marry for he knew that, taking good times with bad, his wages did not average a pound a !
week. However, after going out for 18 months they were ?nally married.!
!
That was a year ago.!
As a single man he had never troubled much if he happened to be out of work. He always had enough to live on and pocket money besides, but now that he was married it was different; the fear of being‘out’haunted !
him all the time.!
He had started for Rushton and Co. on the previous Monday after having been idle for three weeks and, as the house where he was working had to be done right through, he had congratulated himself on having secured a job that would last till Christmas; but he now began to fear that what had happened to Jack Linden - a master craftsman - might also happen to himself at any time. He would have to be very careful not to offend Bill Crass in any way. He was afraid that the latter did not like him very much as it was. He knew that Crass could get him the sack at any time and would not scruple to do so if he wanted to make room for some !
pal of his.!
Crass, the foreman, was quite without special abilities; he was if anything inferior to the majority of the men he supervised. Even so, he pretended to know everything, and the vague references he was in the habit of making to ‘tones’and ‘shades’and‘harmony’ had so impressed Frederick Hunter that the latter was completely taken in. It was by push原 ing himself forward in this way that Crass had managed to get himself !
put in charge of the work.!
Although Crass did as little as possible himself, he took care to work the others hard. Any man who failed to satisfy him was reported to Hunter as being ‘no good’or‘too slow for a funeral’and was then dispensed with at !
the end of the week. Knowing this, all the workers feared and hated the wily Crass.!
Some, by giving him pipefuls of tobacco and pints of beer, managed to stay in Crass蒺s favour and often !
kept their jobs when better men were dismissed.!
As he walked home through the rain thinking of these things, Easton realized that it was not possible to !
foresee what a day or even an hour might bring.!
(1)As he walked home, Easton felt depressed because __. !
A it had been a bad summer for most people, including him !
B he was afraid of losing his job
C he had recently got married, despite his low wages!
D his shoes were worn out and his feet were hurting
(2)The ?fth paragraph mentions Easton’s fear of being ‘out’. Is this a fear of ______?!
A being unemployed
B not having any money!
C having nowhere to live
D falling out with his wife !
(3)The most senior person mentioned in the passage is ______.!
A Jack Linden
B Frederick Hunter
C Bill Crass
D William Easton !
(4)Crass got his position because Hunter thought he was good at __.!
A using language
B managing other people!
C understanding colour schemes
D repairing or decorating houses !
(5)To keep his job, anyone working under Crass had to _____ .!
A work hard
B give him presents
C take care not to offend him
D make room for his‘pals’
(6). A good title for the passage would be _.!
!
A Foreman Crass
B An Uncertain Future
C Too Slow for a Funeral
D A Miserable Walk!
34. Read the following passage and answer the questions!
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time !
and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. !
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terri?ed by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and !
mastered. !
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I ?nd such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to ?y from New York to Philadelphia on a !
broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend. !
No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was. !
(1). In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale _____. !
［A］ cannot be read to children without variation because they ?nd no pleasure in it!
［B］ will be more effective if it is adapted by parents !
［C］ must be made easy so that children can read it on their own!
［D］ is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory !
(2). According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that _ .!
［A］ fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children !
［B］ fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent !
［C］ fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children!
［D］ children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics !
(3). In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be ___.!
［A］ told only once!
［B］ repeated many times!
［C］ told in a realistic setting !
［D］ presented vividly!
(4). In the writer's opinion, fairy stories ___.!
［A］ have a very bad effect on children!
［B］ have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity!
［C］ help children to come to terms with fears!
［D］ harm children greatly!
(5). According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?!
［A］ If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of being !
taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman. !
［B］ Children can often be greatly terri?ed when the fairy story is heard for the ?rst time. !
［C］ Fairy tales may bene?cially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.!
［D］ Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary ?gures with magical powers which has nothing to !
do with external world. !
35.Read this passage about a young woman who is about to compete in her ?rst skating marathon. Then answer questions.!
My First Marathon!
by Leslie Hall!
Wednesday 10/22/03!
Only a few days left before the skating marathon! It doesn’t seem real yet. I am getting ready in every way I !
can.!
Up until this week, I have been adding miles to my training sessions. Last Saturday, I skated over 30 miles. That is the most I have ever skated at one time. The next day, I was a little tired and sore, but it made me feel con?dent that I am ready for the 26-mile marathon course. Now I am cutting back on the number of !
miles to make sure I am rested. I have also been going for leisurely skates, rather than working on speed.!
I ?y to Pasco, Washington, tomorrow afternoon, so tonight I will be packing and doing all of the last-minute !
chores.!
To Do!
#Check weather forecast
#Pack clothes
#Pack skate gear (helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards) Clean skate bearings
#Check brake and replace if necessary
#Buy spare set of wheels
#Pack emergency kit!
I’m taking tools, spare bearings, and a spare brake—I probably won’t need any of it, but I’m going to be prepared for any Pasco ?asco! That one time in Monterey taught me to always carry an emergency kit. A screw had popped off my skate when I was careening downhill. Fortunately, there was a lawn nearby, so I bailed out without any damage. The nearest sporting goods store was 5 miles away, so I had to improvise. !
The auto parts store had the replacement I needed, but it still meant a 2-mile walk in bare feet.!
I’m also going to go online to look at the weather forecast, so I’ll know which clothes to pack. As long as there’s no rain, I’ll be happy. Polyurethane wheels slide on a wet surface, which can only mean disaster—!
and lots of bruises.!
Thursday 10/23/03!
I admit that I love going to new places, but I don’t always like what I have to do to get there. After spending !
most of the day waiting in airports and sitting on planes, I am looking forward to a long skate tomorrow.!
The last plane trip into Pasco from Seattle was the nicest leg of the journey—I sat next to a woman who reminded me of my grandmother. I liked her all the more because she was impressed that I was going to compete in a marathon. Trying to be modest, I said that skating a marathon was comparable to running !
about half the distance, and she said, “Yes, but how many people can go out and run 12 miles?”!
She also said that she admired the way I had set a goal and worked toward it. I’d never thought of my training that way—I had been so focused on training that I hadn’t even thought about how hard I had worked to get to the marathon. But she is right—three months ago,
!
I would have laughed if anyone had suggested that I skate 26 miles, let alone 30.!
Friday 10/24/03!
I dragged my friend Clarissa out for a skate. It was warm, but so windy we were tempted to turn around. The !
wind was our friend on the way back, though.!
Unlike me, Clarissa is a sprinter—she has a faster natural stride, but skated only 5 miles, about half the !
distance I did. I was trying to convince her to sign up for the marathon, but she doubts she has the stamina.! Saturday 10/25/03!
Today I decided to carbo load. I’ve read that eating lots of carbohydrates the night before a race can give your body extra stores of energy, so we went out for a dinner that included French fries and a gooey dessert. !
This was after skating another 10 miles, so I didn’t feel too guilty.!
Sunday 10/26/03!
!
Today is the day! Wish me luck!!
LATER:!
I did it! My time was 2 hours and 15 minutes. I would have come in about 10 minutes faster, but I took a wrong turn and added a mile at the very end. But I met my goal of maintaining a place in the middle of the !
pack. There were lots of skaters who came in before me, and even more who came in after me.!
When we were lining up at the starting line, I felt nervous and even a little intimidated by all of the high-tech racing gear and skates. All of the other skaters were dressed in the kind of spandex out?ts that bicycle racers wear, while I was wearing baggy shorts and a T-shirt. They had “personal hydration systems,” which were basically lightweight backpacks equipped with a water pouch and drinking tube. Some even had rearview mirrors, which were round mirrors attached to wristbands. But the interesting thing is that the impressive !
equipment did not necessarily mean those skaters would skate faster!!
I guess it’s time to set a new goal. Maybe I can beat this time at the next marathon—I hear there’s one in Arizona in November.!
(1)Information in the passage suggests that 4 the narrator mainly views marathon
skating as a !

I’m very happy to learn that you’re going to stay with my family while you’re in Beijing. While you are here, we’ll provide you with a room of your own with a bed, a desk, a couple of chairs and a TV. You’ll also have your own bathroom. Our school is quite close to our home, so we could go to school together by bike. At noon we’ll eat at the school dining hall. I’m sure you’ll like the delicious Chinese food there, and enjoy talking with friends over lunch. Classes in our school usually finish at 4 in the afternoon. You can then join other students in playing ball games or swimming. It’ll be a lot of fun. If you have any questions or requests, please let me know. We’ll try our best to make your stay here in Beijing a pleasant experience. Best wishes, Li Hua [名师点评] 这篇文章的特点还是比较清晰的，第一，作者根据图画将文章的要点概括完整，内容充实而丰富，结构紧凑，有层次感;第二，本文没有采用华丽的辞藻，但用词十分恰当，段落过渡自然，令人耳目一新。 【安徽卷高考英语】【试题回放】 假如你是李华，美国一所友好学校准备与你们学校共同创办一份中学生英文刊物，该校格林先生来信询问有关情况。请你给她写封回信，假如你是李华，美国一所友好学校准备与你们学校共同创办一份中学生英文刊物，该校格林先生来信询问有关情况。请你给她写封回信，主要内容如下： l 表示赞成。l 提出你喜欢的栏目。l 简要说明理由。 注意： 1. 词数100左右。 2. 新的开头和结尾已为你写好。 3. 适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 4. 参考栏目：栏目—column Dear Mr. Green, I am very excited to learn that we are going to start a magazine together. That sounds great! And I definitely agree with you on that. Some of the columns which you mentioned in the letter are really my cup of tea. Say, “culture express”gives us a better understanding of the world. Since people from different parts of the world have different values, it’s necessary to learn from each other. This will offer a wonderful chance. Apart from that, “blurt out” is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improve oral English. Last but not least, “entertainment” is so cool! The popular singers, actors and celebrities are so catchy and attractive that you absolutely can’t miss it! Teenagers are just fond of the trendy things. Well, I can’t list more. I really can’t wait to read that magazine!
