a. wrong.b. missing.c. right.d. normal. 54. we can learn from the passage that the family _. a. was sick of staying downstairsb. stayed away for nearly 10 monthsc. was happy to live in the wooden housed. did not deal well with the trouble during the flood 55. what does the writer mainly want to express by telling her story? a. she valued human feelings more than before.b. she realized she almost didnt need anything.c. she found christmas gifts could be replaced easily.d. she thought her own home was the most important.dnext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. and when youre doing your holiday shopping online, make sure youre holding a large glass of iced tea. the physical sensation（感觉）of warmth encourages emotional warmth. while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise deeisions those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist john a. bargh. psychologists （心理学家）have known that one persons feelings of anothers “warmth”is a powerful factor in social relationships. judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is an important thing needed to be thought about carefully. even there are studies showing that a “cold” person may be more skillful. much of this is deep into very early childhood experiences. bargh argues, when babies sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, especially warmth and coldness. classic studies by harry harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “ mother ” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. harlows work and later studies have led psychologists to give strength to the need for warm physical touch from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.feelings of “ warmth ” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. although no worldwide study has been done, bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those sensations influence judgment in many countries. to test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, bargh did an experiment in which 41 college students took part in. a research assistant handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: the drink was then handed back. after that. the students were asked to rate （评估）the personality of “person a” based on the description. those who had just held the warm drink thought person a as warmer than those who had held the iced drink. 56. according to paragraph 1. a persons emotion may be affected by _. a. the visitors to his officeb. the psychology lessons he hasc. his physical feeling of coldnessd. the things he has bought online 57. the writer mentions harlows experiment to show that _. a. adults should develop social skillsb. babies need warm physical touchc. caregivers should be healthy adultsd. monkeys have social relationships 58. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. feelings of warmth and coldness are studies worldwideb. social skills do not come from physical experiencesc. physical temperature influences how we see othersd. skillful persons are often cold to others 59. what would be the best title for the passage? a. drinking for better social relationships.b. developing better drinking habits.c. experiments of personal emotion.d. physical sensations and emotions.七、阅读还原句子（共8分，每小题2分）阅读下面短文，从短文后方框中所给的五个句子中选出四个，分别填入文中相应的序号后，使短文语义连贯，结构完整。in 50 years of traveling colin mccorquodale has visited every country in the world, except three. 60. _, he sends himself a postcard. he always chooses a postcard with a beautiful view, and sticks on an interesting stamp. usually he writes just a short message to himself. his latest one, from the malvinas islands, reads good fishing.on a wall in his home in london there is a large map of the world. there are hundreds of red pins （大头针）stuck in it. “61. _.”says mr mccorquodale, “but i follow the rules. im allowed to stick one in only if ive been in a place for more than 24 hours.”naturally, mr mccorquodale has his favourite places. new zealand he describes as “wonderful”. 62. _. of china he says, “this is one country in the world which is a completely different. its been around for 6,000 years, yet its a country of the future. ”wherever he goes, mr mccorquodale takes with him a photo of his wife, a candle, a torch, a shirt with a secret pocket, and a pen for writing his postcards. 63. _. for the postcards or the travel?
