B
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion．From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course．In her career, Mary won many awards．Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes （糖尿病）．All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation （JDRF）, an organization she serves as international chairman．"I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches．In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news．First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes．In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts （甜甜圈）．Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up--again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her．Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity．"Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists．"It doesn't do any good．No one is immune （免疫的） to heartache, pain, and disappointments．Sometimes we can make things better by helping others．I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time．I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
61．Why did Mary feel regretful?
A．She didn't achieve her ambition.
B．She didn't take care of her mother.
C．She didn't complete her high school.
D．She didn't follow her mother's advice.
62．We can know that before 1995 Mary .
A．had two books published
B．received many career awards
C．knew how to use a computer
D．supported the JDRF by writing
63．Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her __ .
A, living with diabetes
B．successful show business
C．service for an organization
D．remembrance of her mother
64．When Mary received the life-changing news, she __.
A．lost control of herself
B．began a balanced diet
C．tried to get a treatment
D．behaved in an adult way
65．What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．Mary feels pity for herself.
B．Mary has recovered from her disease.
C．Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D．Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.
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 did Westerners．"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.
66．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
67．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.
68．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.
69．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
70．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 Cross-cultural Understanding
Part IV Writing （45 marks）Section A （10 marks）
Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the
information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning．It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most．An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years．The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires．Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.
One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything．The companies that hire them pay for school．What's more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity．They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies．Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive．Apprenticeship also pays off for employers．It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.
Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else．Sometimes, they might be laid off（下岗） if business for the employers is slow.
Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again．Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.
 

 Section B （10 marks）
Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the
information given in the passage.
Secret Santas
On Christmas morning, Linda wakes up, and tries to imagine the wide-eyed surprise of children in another household as they unwrap the presents she carefully chose for them．Linda has never met the children, but that’s all part of the joy of giving as secret Santas, she says.
"It's an amazing feeling to buy gifts on an anonymous （匿名的） basis," says Linda.
"It brings a whole new meaning to the holidays."
Linda and Tony are an American couple living in Toronto, Canada, and Linda did charitable work as a member of the American Women's Club of Toronto．As the name suggests, members are U.S．citizens living in Toronto, who join together for fellowship and community service.
To find her "adopted" family, Linda goes to the local schools and requests a wish list for a family that's struggling to survive．Last year she helped a single mother with three children．The mother works as a cleaning lady in a nursing home.
"The list is always heartbreaking．They have an opportunity to ask for anything and do just the opposite, asking for basic clothes or simple toys," she says．"We always buy the kids a new winter coat, hats, and gloves." She also buys gifts for the parents.
Last year Linda asked the mother for a second wish list--one that didn't include the basics．"Every child should have a Christmas that sticks with them for a lifetime." She purchased iPods for the two older children and a video game system for the youngest."I have learned a very valuable lesson in all of this," says Linda．"Pay attention to what's going on in your own backyard--no matter where you live."
The joy of giving as secret Santas is much sweeter when the gift is anonymous.
81．What reaction does Linda imagine the children will have?
（No more than 5 words） （2 marks）

82．Why did Linda join the American Women's Club of Toronto?
（No more than 10 words） （2 marks）
