My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it.  She makes such good use of her other  senses, including her "sixth sense", that she rarely gives the impression that she's   21  anything.

Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn’t push too hard on them, who really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that   22  often don't realize she's blind.

I   23  this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   24  about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was especially excited about her finger-painting project.

“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to   25  colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle painted with us”.

To my great   26  , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my picture showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really  27   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt   until Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

I realized Kayla didn't know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation. When I told my daughter that Michelle was blind, she was   28  for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla  29  . And I knew my child was right because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also heard Kayla's   30  in her work.

We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my eyes”

Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

Ⅲ. 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节：阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

We all know that everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.

General differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills), while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files .Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline (衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed. Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline. Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.

Scientists surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g. "object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by women. Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.

41.The underlined word in the second paragraph means_________.

A.natural               B.great                 C.obvious             D.absolute

42.According to the passage, which of the following can Not be typed into the same category?

A.cloud                 B.sheep                 C.trees                  D.goose

A.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.

B.Women stand out at remembering people’s names.

C.Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.

D.Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.

44.One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that _________.

A.the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline

B.people surveyed are all old

C.people taking part in this test came from all over the world

D.women live longer than men

45.The author aims to tell us that __________.

A.women’s minds perform better than men’s

B.men’s minds decline more with age

C.everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older

D.a survey on human’s mind decline was done recently

(B)

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first  impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the  manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by  words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication  systems, such as body behaviors. Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of  others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.

Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More  importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.

Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.
