Where do you expect to read this article? A. In a guidebook. B. In a magazine. C. In a novel. D. In an ad. (B) A heavy storm lasted all night, and then everything became peaceful the next morning: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently. Dad invited me to go with him for fishing. I decided to go, though fishing had never been my thing. On the road, we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbor ( 港湾) itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay (海湾) that had only one tiny channel to the sea. 5 Getting on our boat, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance! On approaching them, we found it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them into the bay, where the water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive. The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck now. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side. ” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat, headed it towards the baby whale, and pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes, the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. It swam up right beside its mom now! Then they struggled in their desperate attempts to escape, but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. So we tried to guide them towards the bay channel. Gradually, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe. As soon as they hit their first part of clean water from the sea, off they swam into the distance. Before they left, the mother whale made a wave with her tail, giving us a trusting look in those huge eyes! Till today, I always look back fondly to that golden day at sea. We had been with those wonderful animals for almost two hours. 4. It’s clear that__________ . A. the author was not interested in fishing actually B. the storm caused the harbor some terrible destruction C. the baby whale got stuck in some big whirlpools and couldn’t move D. the author was scared to death when seeing two big humps 5. What can we mainly learn from the passage? A. Mother love is the greatest power in the world. B. Saving lives can bring people a sense of happiness. C. It’s necessary for humans to get along with animals. D. It’s important to protect our environment. 6 . What’s the best title of the passage? A. Two Uninvited Guests B. A Rescue After the Storm C. A Mother Whale’s Love D. The Peaceful Harbor (C) I was a shy girl. I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear I’d have to talk to somebody I didn’t know. I enjoyed the loneliness of exploring nature. However, at school I had to spend all day in the company of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarded with good grades. My only failure was Spanish －I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part. Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and 6 determined to change my outlook and behavior. One day while at school, I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station. I had grown up listening to classical music, and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsky, Albinoni, and Chopin. I had absolutely no background in radio, and absolutely no hope of getting the job. The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” terrified me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonies （ 交响乐 ） and a public service announcement to read, and a list of composers’ names to pronounce. It wasn’t hard for me. I left the recording session（录音时段）with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel comfortable talking to people. Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, I’m still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interview them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel uncomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature. But I’m also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many doors and opportunities that I never knew existed. 7. What does the underline word “fortune” mean in paragraph4 ? A. problem B. advantage C. loneliness D quiet nature 8. The text mainly focuses on the author’s__________ . A. desire to find her true self B. feeling about being a radio hostess C. story of exploring the meaning of life D. experience and feeling of overcoming shyness 9. What can we learn about the author from the passage? A. She preferred to read books about nature. B. She was tired of being shy and determined to change herself when she entered the college. C. She accepted her shyness and was pleased with the change she had made. D. Spending many hours each week talking with people caused some trouble for her . D Have you ever heard someone say, “You totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this? According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate (联想) people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look. 7 Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled (贴标签) each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition (此外), the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames ( 昵 称 ) more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often. This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert. Earlier studies have shown that gender (性别) and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “feminine (女性的)” , just like the flower they are named for. 10. What was the purpose of the study? A. To find out today’s most popular English names. B. To learn how names influence personality. C. To find out whether names relate to their looks. D. To show how men’s names are different from women’s. 11. What can we infer (推断) from the study? A. Volunteers found it easier to guess nicknames correctly. B. Names have different associations in different cultures. C. Volunteers could guess the characteristics of those people. D. The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same country. 12. According to Ruth Mayo, why do some people look like their names? A. They tend to become what others expect them to become. 8 B. They want to please everyone around them. C. They don’t want to be different from others. D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name. 13. What point does the last paragraph want to explain? A. Earlier studies about stereotypes are limited. B. Stereotypes about names can bring good results. C. Stereotypes about names can affect people’s looks. D. It’s not always bad to be influenced by the expectations of others. 四、词汇运用 （本大题共 8 小题，每小题 1 分，共 8 分） （A） 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卷对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式． 1. What a surprise! The new medicine’s __________ (奏效).
