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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it’s easy to see why with its beautiful beaches and busy city life.
Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there. As an English-speaking country, you won’t be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!
Thailand
Thailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets, which promote equality among the sexes.
Why it’s a great choice: Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Well known for being very cheap, especially in the north. A good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical (热带) jungle.
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.
Why it’s a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you’re not well-traveled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction.
Why it’s so great: You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali. Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way. As a Hindu island, Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat (静修). The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys, anyway.
11. What do the four places have in common according to the text?
A. They’re cheap to travel around.
B. They’re great for solo travelers.
C. They offer good spas and yoga.
D. There’re no language barriers.
12. Where can you enjoy both convenient transport and beautiful beaches?
A. Melbourne, Australia. B. Thailand.
C. Hong Kong, China. D. Bali, Indonesia.

A. Yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches.
B. Friendly people and splendidly visual culture.

C. A travel guide. D. A press advertisement.
B
According to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.
Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.
Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably (适度地) happier when they spent money on others--even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.
They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.
“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social (有益社会的) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
“These findings suggest that very minor alterations in spending allocations (分配) --as little as $5--may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.
15. According to the passage, ________.
A. the more money you spend on others, the happier you are
B. spending money on others can bring you happiness
C. Elizabeth Dunn is a psychologist from Harvest Business School
D. six hundred volunteers took part in the experiment
16. The 16 employees mentioned in the passage _________.
A. were given clear instructions on how to spend the bonus
B. had more happiness than the size of the bonus itself
C. experienced greater happiness after receiving their bonus
D. felt happier after they contributed much of the bonus to charities
17. Dunn’s statement suggested that ________.
A. those who spent money on others felt happier no matter how much they earned
B. those who spent more money on themselves felt happier
C. people thought spending money could make themselves happier
D. the money spent was as important as the money earned
18. The best title of this passage is ________.
A. Experiment on Money Spending
B. Devoting Your Money to Charities
C. Spending Money on Others Makes One Happier
D. Bonus and Pro-social Spending
C
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(均匀的) 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 emotion in cross-cultural 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 emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and 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.
19. 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
20. 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.
21. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
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.
22. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to .
A. do translation more successfully
B. study the mouth more frequently
C. examine the eyes more attentively
D. read facial expressions more correctly

People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and it can help children keep healthy while playing with others. 28 It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to the research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the USA. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been shouted at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression on sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children’s sports. 29 This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. Many parents go to children’s sporting events and shout insults at other players or cheer when their children behave aggressively. As well, children are even taught that hurting other players is acceptable or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. 30 In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting.
Nowadays, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. 31 They also need to teach children better values. They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. 32 If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that health is not as important as winning.
A. Parents and coaches in particular should act as better examples for children.
B. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children.
C. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk.
D. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior.
E. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured.
F. Many children are not allowed to play football on the playground for fear that they might be hurt.
G. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

(Version 1)
Hi, everyone,
As we know, the Fenjiang River is often called the "Mother River of Foshan". In the 1970s, it was clean with fishes clearly seen. To citizens’ disappointment, however, the river suffered from heavy pollution during the 1980s, leaving the water black and dirty. A project therefore was put forward by the government in order to make the river clean again within three years. Thanks to joint efforts from the whole society, the river quality has been improved. As a student, we could also contribute to protecting the river by using environmentally friendly detergents. Plus, it is of great value to participate in the volunteer work of cleaning up the rubbish on the river. Let’ s take action now!
Thank you for listening!

Hi, everyone,
As we know, the Fenjiang River is often called the "Mother River of Foshan". In the 1970s it used to be very clean with fishes swimming in it. However, during the 1980s, the river turned black and dirty because of terrible pollution mainly caused by industrial waste. As a result, in 2008 the government proposed a project aiming to make the river clean within three years. After some measures were taken and now, the river quality has been improved. As a student, we can protect the mother river by participating in the volunteer work of cleaning up the rubbish on the river. Besides, it is our duty to dial 12345 and report where the pollution comes from whenever it is found. Environmental protection is up to all!
