Say you're in the supermarket parking lot, holding your baby, bags of goods, and trying to open your car. A stranger walks up and says, “Here, lei me hold your baby.” Should you let him?
The researchers knew from former studies that people are quite similar when it comes to how they judge a face's trustworthiness. They wanted to find out whether that would be true if people only saw a face for a quick moment — an amount of time so short that it would prevent making a conscious judgement.
To carry out their study, The researchers monitored the amygdala (扁桃腺结构）of 37 volunteers while showing them 300 faces for 33 milliseconds (毫秒） each. Those faces had already been tested with a different set of 10 subjects, who saw them for much longer. In those earlier tests, people agreed about whether to trust each face. Faces with higher inner eyebrows and obvious cheekbones arc seen as trustworthy and lower inner eyebrows and shallower cheekbones arc seen as untrustworthy. Or we can notice trustworthiness in someone else's face thanks to some clues like the amount of white showing in the eyes.
After the new subjects “saw” each face for 33 milliseconds, the image was replaced by a neutral (中立的）face mask for 167 milliseconds (hat disturbed further visual processing of the target. Fascinatingly, different parts of the amygdala lit up when a subject saw an untrustworthy face and a trustworthy one 一 and it lit up more when the face in question was doubtful.
“Faces that appear likely to cause harm arc suddenly tracked by the amygdala, so it could then quickly change other brain processes and make fast responses to people — approach or avoid, says Jon Freeman, the study's senior author.
His research suggests that the amygdala's role in instantly explaining social signs is more important than earlier thought, which makes sense when you consider human history. Aggression and conflict have had a great effect on human evolution. Automatic judgementic on anothee's possibility to harm or help via facial trustworthiness would help people to survive.
“Our talents for making instant judgements could either come from birth or be learned from the social environment”Freeman says. "Our results can't speak to that issue.”
So should you trust the guy in the parking lot? Your brain already knows.
58. The researchers tried to find out .
A. whether people judge a face's trustworthiness similarly
B. how much time people need to trust a person
C. what prevents people making a conscious judgement
D. whether people can trust strangers in a short time
59. According to the study, people look more trustworthy if .
A.their cheekbones are more noticeable
B. their inner eyebrows are much lower
C.their eyes have a larger amount of white
D. their faces are a little shallower
60.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. You may trust someone at first sight.
B. You can trust a person without any doubt.
C. You can judge a person without being aware of it
D. Your brain decides whether to trust someone in milliseconds.
C
Bananas are a good source of various vitamins and minerals. They can help fight against depression and prevent muscle cramps (痉挛）.They can lower blood pressure and protect against heart attacks. To most people, bananas taste great. They add natural sweetness to some baked goods and healthy drinks. So, there are many reasons to eat bananas.
And now there is another. Bananas, ii turns out, have a secret weapon which could protect against viruses. Scientists are now taking a protein (蛋白质）found in bananas and turning u into a drug that may someday fight viral infections. The secret weapon is called banana lectin, or BanLee. BanLee is a protein that attaches to sugar molecules and keeps viruses out of cells. A virus cannot infect what it cannot enter, and simply dies if it can’t infect cells. According to the researchers, BanLee could be one of the first antiviral agents to treat a wide range of viruses, including HIV and even the common flu virus.
BanLee is a modified, or changed, protein. “Remember, when you are eating the banana, the protein is an actual protein, not our modified protein; it is probably going to be chewed by the stomach acid So we very much doubt whether eating bananas will help you," says David Markovitz, senior co-author of the study at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
At this point, Markivitz says, there are no plans to test the BanLee protein on humans. It's early days, he says. “We’re trying to help people with their health, not harm them. So it's good to be cautious about where we are going. We also want to be successful with this drug very much, but we're not there."
It may be early on, but these researchers may want to hurry. A deadly fungus (真菌），called Tropical Race 4 (TR4), has been killing banana crops seriously around the world.
61. What's the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Bananas can be used to cure diseases.
B. Eating bananas is of great benefit to us.
C.Bannas can be cooked in many ways.
D. Bananas are the best food for our health.
62.The secret weapon of the banana in the second paragraph refers to .
A.a kind of sugar molecule B. a specal virus
C. a kind of protien D.a specal structure
63. What can we learnm about the BanLeee protein from Markovitz?
A.It should be tested on humans quickly
B. It wil1 unavoidably do a little harm t0 health.
C. It's a pity the drug comes out to be a failure.
D. it's impossible to be tested on people.
64.These researchers may want to hurry because .
A. many other countries are doing the same research
B. the supply of bananas is facing a threat
C. more and more people have serious diseases
D. a deadly fungus is killing people around the world

I was adopted (领养）from China as a baby by white parents in America. 1 have six great siblings (兄弟姐妹）and have loved all the fun that comes from growing up in a big family. I am still firmly in the pro-adoption camp at the age of 15, but there are definite things that 1 think parents should understand about growing older as a transracial (跨种族的）adoptee.
Like all kids, I love the idea of becoming a young adult. I'll soon be able to drive, go out on dales and one day go to college. But there's one part about growing older than is difficult for me. I have found that as I age, it s harder for the public to recognize me as being a part of
my family. It's much easier to be a transracial adoptee when you are a little kid, because when people see you with your white parents, their brains click to, “Oh, that must be their adopted daughter.” But as I grew into my teens and started to become a young woman, that completely changed.
Now when I m out with my mom, people don't automatically make the mother-daughter connection like they used to. For example, if we go out to a restaurant like Qdoba where I order in line, I'm always asked how I want to pay, as if I am there by myself. The waiter never puts the Asian teen together with the white woman behind me. Or if I am out with my mom and one of my friends who is white, then she’s always assumed to be the daughter, and I'm just the girl following for the day. I find myself loudly saying the word “Mom” when we are out in public to avoid being seen as either the foreign exchange student, or just a random Asian girl standing next to a white woman. But his is nothing compared to the changes in how people view me now when 1 am with my elder brothers and dad.
Last year, 1 went to a special event dinner evening with my father. I had worn a nice dress, high heels and make-up, which was pretty rare for me. I was so excited to be out with my dad at a formal event, but all of my happiness and excitement disappear when two of his colleagues assumed I was his Asian date. I seriously wanted to dig myself a hole and not come out the rest of the night. The same kind of assumption is now made when I’m with my elder brothers. Sadly, most people assume I’m the girlfriend and never the sister. It’s in those moments that I wish I could shout, ‘Tm related to them!” 一 especially when 1 see the looks that they sometimes give to my brothers which seem to say, “Way to score with the Asian girlfriend.” Coming to terms with that stereotype (成见）is the subject for another day. Of course. but when I see our Photos together .I only see big rother/little sister.
It's true that life is simpler and easier when you are young. it's
wonderful to be a girl when your world is filled with fairy princesses and knights in shining armor it's a lot harder to get older and no longer be seen as a member of my own family unless I have a neon sign (霓虹灯)above my head telling the public that we're related.Since I can't have that sign with me 24 hours a day ,7days a week,I week I am learning to ignore those who look at me and make quick,decisive jusgements which are often incorrect.So to all the parents raising little kids of a different race,just know this is a real possibility that will face in the future.You might want to loudly drop those “Hi son!"
And “I love you daughter!”Comments a lot more often when
you're out in Public. Or I'm thinking of starting my own T-shirt company which just might help a bit too!
65.When saying in the pro-adoption camp", the author means she .
A. is still in the same family
B. thinks adoption is all right
C.is in the same mood as before
D. stays in a nursery school
66.Paragraph 2 indicates that to most people .
A.transracial adoption is only for little children
B. transracial adoption is a hard reality to accept
C. transracial adoption should not be encouraged
D. the ideal and the reality are totally different
67. When the author is out with her mom, .
A. they always go along with a white girl
B. she always feels afraid to shout “Mom”
C. they're always thought not to be related
D. she's always mistaken for an exchange student
68. What is the matter that the author can't stand the most?
A. She can't be accepted by the American society.
B. Some men want her brother to introduce her to them.
C. A white girl is regarded as the daughter instead of her.
D. She’s thought to be her father’s lover when they’re out.
69. We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 that . A.she feels depressed whenever she sees the photos
B. she is not her brother’s girlfriend but his younger sister
C. she has already become used to the stereotype about her
D. the family brings much pleasure to her despite all those troubles. 70. Why is the author thinking of starting her own T-shirt company?
A. To realize her childhood dream.
B. To print “mom” and “daughter” on the T-shirts.
C. To become more independent of her adoptive parents.
D. To earn money to support her family.

Garlic: The Key to a Long Life?
Garlic (大蒜)is one of the most common cooking things around the world. Many dishes in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas have used this strong-flavored vegetable for hundreds of years. People have also used garlic for medicine for hundreds of years.
Researchers studied the medicinal use of garlic throughout history. They found references to garlic in ancient texts from Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and India. For example, in ancient Greece and Rome, people considered garlic an aid to strength and patience. The original Olympic athletes in
Grece ate garlic to perform better in the races. The ancient Romans fed garlic to the soldiers and sailors. Workers who built the pyramids in Egypt ale garlic to increase their strength.
Garlic creates a gas called hydrogen sulfide (硫化氢) . It does an important job in our bodies. Hydrogen sulfide makes bold vessels relaxed. Relaxing blood vessels in turn,allows more oxygen
to travel to the body's organs. It make:& high blood pressure become lower and protects the body against diseases related to heart and blood vessels.
But let's leave the laboratory and go to the kitchen. Don't throw out older garlic that has sprouled(发芽). You may have thought that garlic growing light green sprouts was past
its prime or old and on its way to the dustbin. But not so fast. Scientists Have reported that this oldergarlic is better for our bodies than fresh garlic. When researchers tested garlic that had sprouted for five days,they found it contained higher anlioxidant activity (抗氧化活性）than fresher garlic.
Also, to get the full effect of garlic's health benefits, do not add it to food or cook with it at once. Cutting, crushing or mincing (搞碎或切碎） garlic releases the healthy compound(化合物）found in the vegetable. But heating the garlic or adding it to other things pave"' healthy compound. So cut or crush the garlic, and let it rest by itself for a couple of minutes.
So, arc there any negative facts to garlic? Well, the same reason garlic is good for us and good in dishes-that strong sulfur flavor— is the same reason it gives us bad breath. But there might be a cure for that too. Another study found that eating an apple after eating garlic cuts down on the strong garlic smell on one's breath.

第六部分 书面表达（满分25分）
As can be seen from the picture, many parents and grandparents consider their child as the apple of their eyes, which is a common phenomenon in our society.
However, too much love will surely lead to many problems. Firstly, the spoiled children tend to lack the ability to live independently, as a result of depending on their parents too much. Secondly, they will develop the bad habit of wasting money and even like to find fault with others.What’s worse, being self-centered, they don’t care about others, and are always unwilling to take on their own responsibility.
In my opinion, we must solve the problem as soon as possible. For one hand, parents should learn to say no to their children, and don’t give them whatever they want. For another, children themselves ought to know what to do and what not to do as well as learning to be independent of their parents. Last but not least, the importance of school education can’t be stressed too much. Only in this way can the young generation enjoy a bright future.

W: You must have had half a dozen cups of coffee so far, and it’s not even lunchtime.
M: I’m only on my third, but three’s probably enough for one day.

W: Hello, Tom! Where are you going?
M: Hello, Julia! I’m going to my aunt’s.
W: Is that box heavy?
M: No, it’s light.
W: But it’s filled with books! Can I help you?
M: Of course. Could you open the door, please?
W: OK.
M: Thanks. By the way, I have two tickets her for tonight’s film. Would you like to go with me?
W: That’s great!

W: What’s the matter with Bernard today? He started shouting from the moment he stepped into the office.
M: I don’t know. He usually doesn’t act that way at all. I guess he got up on the wrong side of the bed.
W: Waking up in a bad mood is no reason for him to be so angry, and to go around shouting at everybody like that.
M: Hopefully he’ll relax as the day goes on. The manager is talking with him now.

W: Taxi! Taxi!
M: Where to, Miss?
W: Diamond Hotel on Beach Avenue. How much do you think the fare will be?
M: Well, about $3. I can’t tell exactly, but whatever it is, it will show on the meter.
W: I took a taxi yesterday from the station to Diamond Hotel, and the driver charged me $6.
M: Was it rush hour?
W: No, it wasn’t.
M: Well, there is nothing I can say, Miss. Are you new in this city?
W: Yes. I’ll probably stay her for two more weeks.
M: In that case, you can try to call a cab company to send you a cab next time when you need one. That will certainly make you feel sager … Here you are, Diamond Hotel.
W: Thank you for the advice. How much is it?
M: $2.98.
W: Here is $3. Keep the change.

W: Is this your car?
M: Yes. Why are you asking?
W: You can’t park your car here. Don’t you see the sign “No Parking” here?
M: Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t notice it. I haven’t been here more than three minutes.
W: I’ll have to ask you to move your car at once, otherwise you’ll be getting a parking ticket.
M: Well, where am I to park my car?
W: There’s a car park just around the corner.
M: Most likely it’s full.
W: Well, anyway you can’t stay here. You see, you are blocking the traffic. Can I see your driving license?
M: Sure. One moment. Here you are.
W: Thank you, sir. That’ s all right. Now you must move your car.
M: Very well, officer. I’m going.
