1．Professor James will give us a lecture on the Western culture，but when and where

________ yet.

A．hasn't been decided

B．haven't decided

C．isn't being decided

D．aren't decided

解析：本题考查动词的时态与语态。由yet可看出用完成时，又因时间与地点是被决定的，故应用被动语态。

2．(2012年北京海淀区模拟)The headmaster ________ all the teachers not smoke in the

office.

A．told　　　　　　　　　     B．announced

C．called           D．demanded

解析：因为题干中宾语从句的谓语动词为动词原形，故空格处的动词应符合其宾语从句用虚拟语气的要求。demand后跟that从句，从句要用虚拟语气，从句谓语用should＋动词原形，should可以省略。

Ⅱ.阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

A

That our students rarely get the opportunity to use their imagination was an open secret among Chinese people.Now，a global survey has brought it to the notice of the rest of the world.

The survey covering 21 countries，conducted by International Educational Progress Evaluation Organization，showed Chinese students excelled at math，beating their peers from other countries.But when it came to using their imagination，they were tied for the last place.And in creativity，they were fifth from the bottom.

The survey results are not shocking，given the way our children are taught in schools and at home.But they are a severe reminder to our educators and parents to improve their ways.

Chinese students rarely get the time or chance to use their imagination.Right from the day they enter school they are pushed into a culture of exams and more exams.Teachers and parents teach them that education is all about passing these exams with flying colors.And to pass those exams，they are made to learn by fixed standard answers.

Teachers dare not encourage students to think outside the box.Teachers don't like students questioning them，killing the curiosity of the young minds.For children，there's hardly any room for bright ideas either in class or at home.

Israel shares the values of education with China.But there is a world of difference between the way Israeli parents treat their children and we do.Israeli parents do not mollycoddle their children.Instead，they encourage them to learn how to live independently.In contrast，Chinese parents go to extremes，allowing their children to do whatever they like to do and punishing them severely the next for committing a “mistake”．

The global study should make us swing into action and help our students to throw open their young minds to imagination and creativity.It is time our education officials and educators asked themselves what they should do to let our children's imagination and creativity blossom.

【语篇解读】　中国学生很少有机会发挥他们的想像力。本文针对这种现象作了一份调查。

Next time a customer comes to your office，offer him a cup of coffee.And when you're doing your holiday shopping online，make sure you're 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 decisions－those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.

Psychologists have known that one person's perception(感知) of another's “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships.Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration，even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable.Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences，Bargh argues，when babies' conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations，particularly 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.Harlow's work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact 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 perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.

To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth，Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students.A research assistant who was unaware of the study's hypotheses(假设)，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 the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description.Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly.” says Bargh.

【语篇解读】　身体上对于外界的感知可以影响人们心理上对于某事物的看法。

21．According to Paragraph 1，a person's emotion may be affected by ________.

A．the visitors to his office

C．his physical feeling of coldness

D．the things he has bought online

解析：细节理解题。文章中第一段中提到，身体上对于温暖的感知可以激发热情，而一杯冷饮在手可以使人避免头脑发热，可知一个人的情感是由他的身体感知所影响的。

答案：C

22．Thd author mentions Harlow's experiment to show that ________.

答案：B

23．In Bargh's experiment，the students were asked to ________.
