Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76, but one of America's most famous artists did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”， turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself，and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939，a collector，Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses' works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.
Grandma Moses died on December 13th, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world－famous.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀地) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions，” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotions in crosscultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did.“The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions，” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotions, Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less.”
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
21．The discovery shows that Westerners ________.
A．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B. consider facial expressions universally reliable
C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第三段“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect the mouth.”可以得出答案。
22.What were the people asked to do in the study?
A. To make a face at each other.
B. To get their faces impressive.
C. To classify some face pictures.
D. To observe the researchers' faces.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第五段“...by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad，surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.”可以判断选C。
23．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
- 14 -
A. The participants in the study.
B. The researchers of the study.
C. The errors made during the study.
D. The data collected from the study.
答案与解析：A 词义猜测题。根据定语从句“that they show”所修饰的eye movements在研究中为the participants所作(从the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people可知)可判断选A。
24．What can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul
B. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
C. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
D. How to Increase Crosscultural Understanding
答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。文章首先指出科学研究的最新发现：东方人比西方人更难于读懂人的面部表情。之后更具体地介绍研究的内容及其研究过程，最后得出结论：文化差异丰富了理解情感的基本社会技巧，即不同的文化背景使人理解他人情感的方式也不尽相同。由此判断最佳标题应为B。
B
Every country has its heroes. The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire. If you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential(潜力 ) of that nation.
Today in America, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices would probably fall into three groups. The first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people connected with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent (才能) but one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. However，one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.
A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star. Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports. However，too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.
A third type of hero is the TV or movie star. This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. However, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. Today，the rock star, the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America. Really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher or a scientist? These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.
What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.
25．The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that ________.
A．if a nation has a lot of heroes, it will be strong
B. heroes of a nation will make the nation itself
C. what the people admire will make the future of the nation
D. if you want to be a hero，you must admire the hero
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。通过最后一段的倒数第一句“If the heroes of today for the American young people...the future does not look too bright.”可以推断出作者对当今美国青少年偶像崇拜表示担忧，青少年是国家的未来，他们的兴趣导向在某种程度上影响着国家将来的命运，因此选C。
- 14 -
26．According to the writer，people should admire those ________.
A. who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes
B. who can express people's feelings
C. whose personal life is good
D. who work for the interests of the people
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。由第四段中的“These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.”可知答案为D。
27．What is the writer's attitude towards American youth's admiration?
A. He understands it.
B. He criticizes it.
C. He is angry about it.
D. He is uninterested in it.
答案与解析：B 作者态度题。纵观全文，不难看出作者对美国年轻人所崇拜偶像类型的担忧，故作者对此持批评态度。
C

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车 ). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from

the company. That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said，“I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”
32．What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?
A. He made good use of ideas from others.
B. He produced the first car in the world.
C. He knew how to improve auto parts.
D. He invented the production line.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.可得知福特擅长利用别人的想法，故选A。
33．Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A. To show off his driving skills.
B. To draw public attention.
C. To learn about new technology.
D. To raise money for his new company.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句It was the best way of gaining public notice.可知福特是想借机吸引公众的注意，故选B。
34．The underlined phrase “That sale” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices
B. the sale of Model T to the mass of people
C. the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor
D. the sales target for the Ford company
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据前一句：在1903年底特律的一名医生买下了公司里的第一辆汽车，可知这一销售是福特梦想的开端，因此That sale是指把车卖给了一名医生，故选C。
35．What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?
A. Producing cars for average customers.
B. Building racing cars of simple design.
C. Designing more car models.
D. Starting more companies.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段福特所说的那段话可知他的梦想就是制造普通人民大众都可以买得起的福特车。故选A。

答案与解析：
本文是一篇记叙文。一个叫“一位英语学习者自白”的博客，大家可以在上面分享语言误解的故事。本文讲述了两个英语单词带来的笑话。
61．called 考查非谓语动词。句意为：几个月前我们开通了一个叫做“一位英语学习者自白”的博客。call与blog之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词短语作blog的后置定语。
62．has joined 考查动词时态。句意为：多亏了每一个到目前为止在博客上讨论的人。so far“到目前为止”，其一般与现在完成时连用。
63．difficulty 考查词性转换。句意为：一个网页访问者描述两个英语单词给他带来的困难。根据前面的his可知，此空应用名词。
64．but 考查连词。句意为：这两个词听起来类似，但是含义是截然不同的。similar和different是一对反义词，因此用but表示转折。
65．to 考查介词。句意为：在他第一次访问美国时。one’s visit to/pay a visit to ...参观……。
66．second 考查序数词。句意为：这是他的第二天。基数词two的序数词形式为second。second表示“第二”。
67．belongings 考查词性转换。句意为：他正在整理他的物品，这时一位同事走进了他们共用的房间。根据前面的his可知，此处应用名词。belong的名词为belonging。注意：belonging为可数名词，一般用复数形式。
68．was surprised 考查形容词。句意为：他对这个问题感到吃惊。be surprised by意为“对……感到吃惊”。
69．to use 考查非谓语动词。句意为：他很兴奋运用他的英语。be excited to do sth.做某事感到兴奋。
- 14 -
70．something/what 考查句子结构。句意为：肥皂是你用来洗自己的东西。此处填something/what分别构成定语从句和名词性从句。
