24、on BC. consideratePeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in 42 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 (均匀地) across a face as Westerne

25、rs do, Easterners 43 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 44 the mouth.”According to Jack and her

26、colleagues, the discovery shows that human 45 of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to 46 convey emotion in a cross-cultural situation.The researchers studied cultural differences in the 4

27、7 of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western people and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of 48 faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral (中立的). They compared how accurately participants read those facial

28、expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made 49 more errors than did Westerners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressi

29、ons,” 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, 50 how cultural factors have differed in these basic

30、 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.Reading Comprehension (35%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four w

31、ords or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Do you think that a universal language will emerge within the next century?

32、nd science, 53 I dont think English will 54 become a universal language. I think that if a language becomes the world language, it should be an artificial one. 55 , it might seem to many as an effort to 56 a certain cultural group.

I didnt really mean my partner was a snake.(B)It takes two to duet (二重唱), and one question for scientists is how these co

48、ordinated (协调的) performances arise in birds. Are they the result of cooperation, a way in which one pair signals to others that theyve got it together? Or are they the result of conflict, evolving to avoid one partners song interfering with the others?A study of duetting in Peruvian warbling antbird

49、s(蚁鸟) suggests that it might be a little of both, and that context is everything. Joseph A. Tobias and Nathalie Seddon of the University of Oxford show in Current Biology that sexual conflict can cause the female of a pair that normally cooperates to “jam” the males song by singing over it.The resea

50、rchers exposed antbird pairs to recorded songs of other antbirds and monitored the songs the pairs produced. In one experiment, they played the songs of an intruding pair. In this case, the resident pair “both are likely to lose their territory, so both should cooperate,” Dr. Tobias said. And they d

51、o. They produce a coordinated duet that in effect tells the intruders to keep away.But when the researchers played the song of a single female, the pair behaved differently. “Youd expect the resident female to be highly motivated to defend her position in the partnership,” Dr. Tobias said. And thats

52、 what occurs. The male sings its heart out, flirting(调情) with the single female, and the female of the pair does its best to interfere with the song by singing over it, apparently to make her mate less attractive to the other female.“Its clear that the male doesnt like what shes doing,” Dr. Tobias s

53、aid. The behavior “breaks up what is otherwise a very cooperative situation into a more complicated signal,” he added.Its the first evidence of this kind of signal jamming among pairs, Dr. Tobias said.And in that it leads the male to alter its song to avoid the females interfering notes, it shows th

54、at this kind of conflict could, over a long period, drive the evolution of coordinated song.69. What is the key factor of antbirds duet?A. Their cooperation.B. Their conflict.C. The context.D. Their instinct.70. How did the researchers conduct the experiment?A. They put the antbird pairs back to nat

55、ure and observe them.B. They played different recorded songs of other antbirds.C. They put an antbird to the others territory and observed.D. They played the songs of an intruding pair.71. Why did the female bird sing according to Paragraph 4?A. It wanted to show its singing talent to the partner.B.

56、 It aimed at keeping the partnership with the male.C. It wanted to frighten the other females.D. It wanted to make her mate more attractive. 72.
