3．（10分）Researchers from Israel found that our given names may have something to do with our facial appearances.Lead writer Yonat Zwebner of a university，along with her team，did eight different experiments in Israel and France.The different experiments were set up to answer two main questions：whether people can correctly guess a person's name based only on a photo of a face and what is behind this matching effect.

    During the experiments，researchers asked students to look at photos of people's faces and guess each person's name from a list of four choices.They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time，which was better than the 25 percent of a blind guess.

    What's more，when the faces the students looked at came from within their own country，they were able to best match the faces to the names.French students were better at matching only French names and faces while Israeli students were better at matching only Hebrew names and Israeli faces.

    Researchers believe it is possible that people change their appearances without paying attention to it，to match their names.One study especially backed up this idea，showing that a hairstyle，something that can be changed by people easily，was enough to guide others in correctly guessing their names.

    "Earlier research has shown there are cultural meanings carried by names，including how someone should look.For example，people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim.We believe these meanings can，over time，influence people's facial appearances，" Zwebner said.

    The results of the experiments may even make parents think twice when choosing a name for their children.

    "If a name can influence appearance，it can also influence many other things.This research opens an important direction that may suggest how parents should consider better the names for their children，" said Zwebner，who recently had a baby herself.

    "As parents，it was really difficult for us to name our 12﹣day﹣old daughter as we know the meanings of names."

（1）One of the purposes of the experiments is to　   　.

A.give the students a chance to know each other

B.explain what influences our facial appearances

C.find out different personalities carried by different names

D.see if people can correctly guess a person's name from his/her face

（2）People can match the faces to the names more easily when　   　.

A.they do a blind guess

B.they look at photos of the faces

C.the faces are from their own country

D.they are given four choices

（3）What does the underlined part "backed up" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ 　   　

A.Supported.

B.Changed.

C.Compared

.D.Cancelled.

（4）What are Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 mainly about？ 　   　

A.The results of changing names.

B.Names have something to do with appearances.

C.The importance of cultural meanings carried by names.

D.The importance of a hairstyle in guessing different looks.

（5）According to Zwebner，we know that　   　.

A.facial appearances may influence names

B.a name may influence many things and should be well chosen

C.names can be changed by people easily to match their hairstyles

D.we should pay less attention to the meanings of names and be ourselves

4．（10分）How do money problems influence our social life？Do we simply stop going out and enjoying ourselves？And，if we do stop going out，are there any other ways to party？

    Psychologists say that having fun with close friends and family is very important to our mental health.Last Christmas，Yorkshire Bank，UK did a survey to see how people were planning to celebrate the festive season when they had not much money to spend.They found that eight out of ten Britons preferred an invitation to a house party to a night out in a bar or club.

    So，the question is，how can we throw a party without spending all our money？Easy – just read our "hot tips"：

    Hot Tip #1 – Careful planning

    "It's all in the planning，" claim party experts.If you plan the number of guests and the menu with prices in mind，it won't be expensive.Remember，in this situation，less is more – the fewer guests you invite，the lower your costs will be.Equally，if you hold the party in your own home，it'll be even cheaper for everyone.Going to pubs or clubs will be too expensive.Also，if you buy a few candles and simple decorations，you'll be able to create a bar scene in your own front room.

    Hot Tip #2 – Shop intelligently

    One of the biggest costs is the food and drink.If you shop efficiently，you will spend less money on them.In big supermarkets，you often have "three for the price of two" food offers.You can also pick up alcohol quite cheaply if you look for deals.If you host a party，people won't require a three﹣course meal – a simple spread of crisps，olives and dips is enough.

    Hot Tip #3 – Caring is sharing

    Don't be scared to ask your guests to bring something.If you invite close friends，they'll be happy to contribute.For example，you could ask someone to bring some snacks and someone else to bring cups.

    After all，the idea is to get your nearest and dearest together in honor of friendship and good times.

So，what are you waiting for？Find an excuse to celebrate and start sending out those invitations.But remember，save yourself some money，get creative and don't do everything yourself.

（1）The survey was done to find out　   　.

A.where people could shop efficiently on Christmas

B.what stopped people going out and having fun

C.how people with not much money celebrated Christmas

D.why Britons wanted to have a night out in a bar or club

（2）Yorkshire Bank surveyed 1，000 people，how many of them preferred a house party？ 　   　

A.8.

B.18.

C.80.

D.800.

（3）What does the underlined "them" in Paragraph 5 refer to？ 　   　

A.Candles and simple decorations.

（4）According to the hot tips，what should we do for a party with less money？

    During the experiments，researchers asked students to look at photos of people's faces and guess each person's name from a list of four choices.They correctly guessed the right name 38 percent of the time，which was better than the 25 percent of a blind guess.

    Almost everyone knows that olive oil is （4）　good　for our health.But what most people may not （5）　realize　is that olive oil is used for a lot more than just food.People make soap out of it， （6）　polish　diamonds （钻石） with it，and burn it for light.In ancient times，olive oil was even（7）　used　as a weapon （武器）.

    These days，more and more people all over the world are discovering that olive oil may be the best oil for （8）　cooking　.In the United States，people use five times more olive oil today than they

（9）　did　20 years ago.

    Nowadays，most of the world's olive oil is still produced in the Mediterranean countries，though （10）　countries　such as America and Australia also produce it.Spain produces the most olive oil in the world，followed by Italy and Greece.

【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了橄榄油在世界上以及不同领域中的广泛运用。

【解答】（1）考查介词。句意：它是用新鲜的橄榄做成的。根据上文Olive oil is probably the most widely﹣used oil for cooking.（橄榄油可能是烹饪中使用最广泛的油。）可知句意，橄榄油是用新鲜的橄榄做成的。be made from…由…制作而成的。故填from。

（2）考查形容词。句意：几千年来，橄榄油一直是地中海国家的主要食物。由于其前没有具体数字，后面还有介词of，所以thousand要用复数形式。thousands of 数以千计的。故填thousands。

（3）考查动词。句意：一些有数百年树龄的橄榄树仍能生产果实。主语是复数形式，句子为一般现在时，位于动词用原形。故填produce。

（4）考查形容词。句意：几乎每个人都知道橄榄油对我们的健康有益。be good for 对有好处。故填good。

（5）考查动词。句意：但大多数人可能没有意识到，橄榄油不仅仅用于食物。情态动词后边应用原形。故填realize。

（6）考查动词。句意：人们用它制作肥皂，用它打磨钻石，然后烧它照明。句子为一般现在时，与make并列，所以也用原形。故填polish。

（7）考查动词。句意：在古代，橄榄油甚至被用作武器。be used as 被用作。故填used。

（8）考查名词。句意：如今，全世界越来越多的人发现橄榄油可能是烹饪的最好的油。根据前面的介词for可知，应该填写名词或相当于名词的词。故填cooking。

（9）考查动词。句意：在美国，今天人们使用的橄榄油是20年前的5倍。应用动词do来指代上文的use olive oil，时间是20年前，所以要用过去式的形式did。故填did。

（10）考查名词。句意：如今，世界上大部分橄榄油仍产自地中海国家，尽管美国和澳大利亚等国家也生产橄榄油。应用名词复数形式。故填countries。
