then one of my friends said there was no reason why i should stop training. that was itthe encouragement i needed. i could still be a winner if i believed in myself. i am not saying that it isnt difficult sometimes. but i wanted to prove to myself that i wasnt finished yet. nothing is to stand in my way.”karen pickeringswimming world champion (冠军)“i swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. i manage

head tells me that i cant achieve anything. then, there are other distractions（分散）, such as family or hobbies. the key is to give most of your attention to one thing. when i feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as calm, peace, either out loud or silently in my mind. it makes me feel more in control and improves my confidence. this is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”28. what does karen pickering put on top of her diary?a. her training plan . b. her daily happenings.c. her achievements. d. her sports career.29. the same character of the three people is_. a. humour b. happiness c. self-confidence d. wisdom30. the best title for the passage is _.a. health and food b. how to be a winner c. difficulties and habits d. be a sportsmancit seems that theres a good reason why dogs are always seen as mans best friend. scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotion(情感)in faces much like humans. the finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry. when humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the persons face first. a possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions. scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have “left gaze bias(左视偏好)”, but only when looking at human faces. no other animal has been known to do like this before. dr. kun guo with his team showed 17 dogs the pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else. the dogs eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. but this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs. guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions. “recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. if true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first.”31. why are dogs seen as mans best friend according to the passage? a. because dogs are the closest animals to humans. b. because dogs can read the emotions in humans faces easily. c. because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad. d. because dogs are good at expressing emotions.32. the dogs left gaze bias helps them _. a. get along well with humansb. express emotions quickly c. have more understanding friendsd. remember more new faces33. the passage mainly wants to tell us that _. a. dogs have been mans best friends for thousands of years b. humans have a “left gaze bias” c. the “left gaze bias” works on all animals d. dogs can read emotions the same as humansdmillions of british people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and took the place of it with the less formal(正式的) “cheers”, according to a survey. although the common person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to add a “cheers” or “ta” where its needed to show they are fashionable. one in twenty now say “nice one” instead, while the younger are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”. “merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common expressions to use, as “much appreciated(感激)”. one in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the food network uk for thank you day, which is marked on november 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. more than one in ten adults said they regularly(有规律地) wont say thank you if they are in a bad mood. most people stated(陈述) that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. a huge 70 percent of those who are questioned will say thank you to a persons face without even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.it seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. half of them admit (承认) theyre not good at thanking those closest to them. many of them explain that they dont say thank you because their family “already know im thankful”.when spoken words wont do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people. one third will still send a handwritten thank-you note-but 45 percent admit its been more than six months since they tried to send one. a quarter of british people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. another 15 percent make a cake. it follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)they feel they should receive.34. most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _.a. when they are in good moodb. completely out of habit c. when they feel truly gratefuld. purely out of politeness35. the underlined word “ditched” in paragraph 1 means “_”. a. gave up b. usedc. sharedd. knew36. it can be learned from the passage that _. a. different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionable b. people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays c. a thank-you note is still appreciated by most people d. people in a bad mood never say “thank you”37. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them. b. about fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should. c. most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others gratitude. d. many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members. 第ii卷（主观题，共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(a)
