　　One 25 __________ is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became 26__________ complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27__________ such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals at a disadvantage，but blushing might actually make a person more 28 __________ or socially desirable.

　　29__________ that women blush more than men，one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30__________ their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as a way to foster trust. " If you were to go hunting 31__________ a stone-faced partner，you could never 32__________ what he wants. “he says.

　　Once blushing became 33 __________ with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 __________ likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 __________ about anything.

　　第22题单选 填入(22)处的最佳答案是()。ding

　　B. forcing

　　C. encouraging

　　D. preventing

　　参考答案：B

　　参考解析：forbid意为“禁止”;force意为“迫使”;encourage意为“鼓励”;prevent意为“阻止”。根据原文，脸红会暴露自己在说谎。

　　第23题单选 填入(23)处的最佳答案是()。

　　A. when

　　B. while

　　C. since

　　D. because

　　参考答案：B

　　参考解析：这里引用达尔文所说的话。when和while都表示“当……时候”的意思，但while 有“与……相反”的意思，翻译成“然而，却”。since和because表示原因。根据上下文，这里是说人类与动物不一样，人类会脸红，而动物却不脸红。应选择表示相反的词。

　　第24题单选 填入(24)处的最佳答案是()。

　　A. on

　　B. in

　　C. at

　　D. of

　　参考答案：C

　　参考解析：at a loss是固定词组，表示茫然。这部分是说，达尔文指出人类会脸红而动物不会的时候也是茫然的，说不出其原因。

　　第25题单选 填入(25)处的最佳答案是()。

　　B. advice

　　C. solution

　　D. question

　　C. awkwardly

　　D. increasingly

　　参考答案：D

　　参考解析：apparently意为“明显地”;completely意为“完全地”;awkwardly意为“危险地，不舒服地”;increasingly意为“日益地”。根据原文，社会在发展，社会交往肯定也是日益复杂。

　　第27题单选 填入(27)处的最佳答案是()。

　　A. moods

　　B. senses

　　C. emotions

　　D. tempers

　　参考答案：C

　　参考解析：mood意为“情绪、心情”;sense意为“感官”;emotion意为“情感”;temper意为“脾气”。原文列举了如guilt(愧疚)、shame(羞愧)、embarrassment(尴尬)等感觉。这些显然不属于sense(感官)和temper(脾气)，排除。mood和emotion的区别在于，mood表示就某种事件或某段时间影响下所产生的心情或情绪，emotion表示主观上的下意识的感觉。原文在分析人类脸红的原因，从人类自身的情感着手。所以，这里应是emotion。

　　C. energetic

　　D. attractive

　　参考答案：D

　　参考解析：privileged意为“享有特权的”;embarrassment意为“尴尬”;energetic意为“充 满活力的”;attractive意为“有吸引力的”。根据原文空格后的“or socially desirable(社交上更合适)”判断，attractive(有吸引力的)最恰当：人类的脸红可能使 人更具有吸引力或者说社交上更合适。

　　June came and the hay (干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.

　　It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out Of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used

　　It was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents were poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!

　　" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fishermen's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.

　　In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bund for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans, yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates (海盗) . Whatever happened, the secret -- along with a treasure valued near $100,000,000 in today's dollars -- was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.

　　Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.

　　Due to the historic discovery of the treasure, GovMint.com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, these authentic silver dollars are priced at$49 plus shipping and handling -- a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.

　　第40题单选 What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?

　　A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.

　　B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.

　　C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.

　　D. Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.

　　参考解析：第二段。叙述210年前发生的事。1784年，一艘满载的船出发去新奥尔良，船上装有大量的西班牙银元。然而却没有一枚到达目的地，也没有一个人生还。所以，没有人知道究竟发生了什么。有人认为是暴风雨导致它沉没(选项D)，有人认为是海盗抢了它(选项B)。两种原因都只是猜测，不是正确选项。选项A本文中没有提及。

　　第42题单选 What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?

　　The environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorated" three rooms. One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room. Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue and green.

　　Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy (亲密) that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or a classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.

　　Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others; but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.

　　第44题单选 Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be __.

　　A. less patient

　　第46题单选 What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?

　　A. Arousing active thinkin

　　B. Improving work efficienc

　　C. Creating a tense atmospher

　　D. Stimulating talks among peopl

　　参考答案：D

　　参考解析：第三段。灯光会影响人们的情绪。比较暗的灯光会增加人与人之间的亲密感。这也是为什么餐厅会采用比较暗的灯光。选项D是正确的。然而，要提高思考的效果还是明亮的灯光。选项A是错的。

　　There is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants (移植) often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.

　　In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number of performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.

　　"Implants must sometimes be replaced," said Dr. Henrik Malchau, an orthopedic surgeon (矫正外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.

　　"The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation," said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.

　　The failure rate should be lower, many experts agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Even country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rates significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

　　A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.

　　第48题单选 What is the problem with hip or knee replacement in the U.S.?

　　A. A lot of patients need a second operatio

　　B. Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operatio

　　C. Demands for hip replacement exceed the number of surgeon

　　参考答案：A

　　第49题单选 Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?

　　A. Because Sweden has more advanced technolog

　　B. Because Sweden has a patient data collecting syste

　　C. Because Sweden has a much larger number of patient

　　D. Because Swedish doctors are more responsible and skillfu

　　参考答案：B

　　第50题单选 People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel __ about data gathering in the U.S.

　　A. indifferent

　　B. assured

　　C. puzzled

　　D. hopeful

　　参考答案：C

　　参考解析：第五、六段。第五段的后半截说，凡是建立了数据库的国家都会降低手术的失败率。第六段说，美国新近成立了一个“关节更替资料室”。选项C是正确的。选项A和D文中没有提及。选项B，在12～18个月内跟踪每一例手术的目的是建立数据库，并不能直接降低失败率。因此，选项B是错的。

　　第51题单选 People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel __ about data gathering in the U.S.

　　A. indifferent

　　B. assured

　　C. puzzled

　　D. hopeful

　　参考答案：D

　　参考解析：最后一段。因为建立了数据库，所以对正在考虑换膝盖或髋骨的人来说是好消息，是有希望的。indifferent意为“漠不关心的”;assured意为“肯定的”;puzzled意为“困惑的”;hopeful意为“有希望的”。

　　The Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive (重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for livelihood -- business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.

　　As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the magazine's content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic (昏昏欲睡的)America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.
