Pinocchio may be just a children’s fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses don’t grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.

Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector (测谎仪) test that usedthermography (热成像仪) to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2℃ while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is unnoticed by the human eye.

“One has to think in order to lie, which increases the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gómez Milán explained the findings. “At the same time, we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose.”

For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology, including making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, a partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie by themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “reverse Pinocchio effect” caused by the fluctuation (起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead.

Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector. It’s suggested that law enforcement interviewers should one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results. The thermal lie detector has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than others.

24. Why does the author mention “Pinocchio” at the beginning?

A. To tell a fairy story. B. To warn us not to lie.

C. To introduce a research. D. To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.

25. What is true to “reverse Pinocchio effect”?

A. Your nose will grow when you tell a lie.

B. Your nose will shrink when you tell a lie.

C. The temperature of your forehead falls if you lie.

D. The temperature of your forehead increases if you lie.

26. What can we learn from the text?

A. Researchers conducted the study by interviewing.

B. Researchers designed different lies for participants.

C. The thermal lie detector will prove a popular tool.

D. The thermal lie detector may assist law enforcement.

27. What advantage does the thermal lie detector have over other lie detectors?

A. Accuracy. B. Convenience. C. Privacy. D. Safety.

C

A study led by Plana-Ripoll, a doctor at Aarhus University in Denmark, tries to deal with a fundamental question that has bothered researchers for more than a century—what exactly causes mental illness?

In the hope of finding the answer, scientists have piled up a large amount of data over the past decade, through studies of genes and brain activity. They have found that many of the same genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that changes in the brain’s decision-making systems could be involved in many conditions.

The researchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong. The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct, separate categories like “anxiety” has been disproved to a large extent. Instead, recently they’ve found that disorders shade into each other, and there are no hard dividing lines.

The researchers are trying to understand the biology that underlies mental illness. They have a few theories. Perhaps there are several dimensions of mental illness, so depending on how a person scores on each dimension, they might be more likely to have some disorders than others. An alternative idea is that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer from mental illness in general. What disorder they develop is then determined by other factors. Both ideas are being taken seriously though the former one is more widely accepted by the researchers.

The details are still unclear, but most researchers agree that one thing is specific: The old system of categorizing mental disorders into neat boxes does not work. They are also hopeful that, in the long run, replacing this framework with one that is grounded in biology will lead to new drugs and treatments. The researchers aim to reveal, for instance, the key genes, brain regions and neurological processes involved in psychopathology(精神病理学), and target them with treatments. Although it might take a while to get there, they are long-term optimistic if the field really does its work.

28. What aspect of mental illness has been puzzling researchers according to the text?

A. Its symptoms. B. Its roots.

C. Its categories. D. Its theories.

29. What have the researchers found from the recent study?

A. There exist links between mental disorders.

B. Brain function has little to do with mental illness.

C. Mental illness is classified into different categories.

D. Genes are completely different in distinct mental disorders.

30. Which one is more widely accepted by the researchers according to paragraph 4?

A. The theory of genetic influences.

B. The belief of brain abnormalities.

C. The concept of multiple dimensions.

D. The idea of the determined risk factor.

31. What can we learn about mental illness from the text?

A. Hunting for its biology might help.

B. Its genes are too complex to study.

C. Scientists are clear about its details.

D. Its new drugs could be available soon.

D

It is not easy to excite New Yorkers or keep them going easy on things around. This is one reason why actors and other famous people move to the city. They can live quieter lives and escape the paparazzi photographers who would follow them in Hollywood.

But New York has a new media star. And this star is not living so quietly. The star is a colorful Mandarin duck. The bird first appeared this month in a small body of water in Manhattan’s Central Park. Large crowds have gathered to see the duck. Reporters have been following its every move. The media attention on the duck has earned the name “quackarazzi” – a word combination of paparazzi and the sound a duck makes!

The duck has chosen to live in a costly part of New York -- just off Fifth Avenue, near the historic Plaza Hotel. There, hundreds of people turn up every day, hoping to see the bird show off its extremely colorful feathers. Many people like the duck because its colors are like “sunsets,” says New Yorker Joe Amato. He comes to the park nearly every day with his camera equipment. Bird lovers have been keeping record of the bird’s daily life through social media postings and videos. People have noted how effortlessly the duck moves through the water.

This week, New York’s newest celebrity seemed to enjoy its fame, showing off its wings while members of the “quackarazzi” pushed each other to get a closer look. Leesa Beckmann traveled over two hours from her home in New Jersey to see the duck. She says her 90-year-old mother has been talking all about the duck since its first appearance.

“I’ve got to see this...duck,” Beckmann told her mother. She plans to take pictures and give them to her mother.

Bird expert Paul Sweet heads a large collection of bird species at the New York-based American Museum of Natural History. He says there is nothing special about a Mandarin duck in Central Park. Central Park Zoo has its own Mandarin duck, he says. These ducks are often imported to the United States from Asia for use on private property.

“A lot of non-birders tend to see (colorful) birds as more beautiful,” Sweet said, “But to me, it’s no more beautiful than, say, a sparrow.”

32. From the passage we can know _______

A. New Yorkers are always excited about new things.

B. A super star is giving a performance in Manhattan’s Central Park.

C. Bird lovers are interested in recording the life of the new “guest”.

D. Everyone agrees Mandarin duck is a new species.

33. Many New Yorkers like the bird for the reason that _____.

A. It’s famous in Hollywood films.

B. It has a beautiful color and likes to show its wings.

C. They can take lots of pictures and sell for money.

D. They are lucky and precious.

34. Paul Sweet may agree that ______.

A. His mother will surely like the pictures of the birds.

B. “Quackarazzi” is a good name for the duck.

C. New Yorkers need to protect the new species.

D. Mandarin duck can be brought into America from other countries for use.

35. Which of the following can be the best title?

A. Colorful Mandarin Duck Excites New Yorkers

B. Come and Meet Mandarin duck in Central Park

C. Mandarin Duck in Central Park---A Rare Species

D. A Most Beautiful Bird

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. ___36___ First, work on changing your own behavior. Then, find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you.

Changing Your Behavior

● Think before you speak. ___37__ Sometimes, it’s best to let small indiscretions (轻率的行为) go. Try taking a few deep breaths and leaving the room instead of criticizing.

● Separate the individual from their actions. If you work on separating the person from the action, you may naturally want to criticize less. As you realize you cannot judge a person’s character based on a single choice or decision, you will be unable to call someone out for being rude or disrespectful.

● Focus on positives. Oftentimes, being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. ___38__

Communicating More Effectively

● ___39__ Some people have issues that may need addressing. However, feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue, focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve, which is more effective than criticizing.

● Ask for what you want directly. Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. ___40___ Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct, respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism.

● Consider the other party’s perspective. If you criticize others too often, you may be shutting out the other person’s point of view. Try to step in another person’s shoes before criticizing and you may get some new and special ideas.

A．Give feedback rather than criticism.

B．However, there are ways to avoid criticism.

C．Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.

D．If you find yourself making assumptions about a person’s character, stop yourself.

E．If you’re not telling someone what you want, that person cannot be expected to know.

F．Criticism should, ideally, be working towards an effective solution to a negative situation.

G．When you want to dish out criticism, pause and consider whether you really need to say anything.

How is it going? Hearing that you have troubles making small talk with strangers in China, I’d like to offer you my advice following by many people.

Firstly, it is normal to feel a bit nervous when approaching to strangers. Everyone gets little shy first; after all, you don’t know how they are like.

Dear Jim,

Knowing from your last letter that you are interested in traditional Chinese culture and eager to explore more, I’d like to share my opinions.

As far as I am concerned, the ancient poetry class is your best choice. By learning Chinese ancient poems, you can have an extensive knowledge of the history and culture in ancient China. Also, you can feel the charm of the language by reading poems, which helps to improve your Chinese. To follow the course well, you’d better read and recite as many poems as possible. Besides, it is a good idea to search for related background knowledge so that you will fully understand the conception of the poetry.

What do you think of the course? I am sure you will gain a lot of fun from it.

Yours,

Li Hua
