    Not even Dan Brown and his Da Vinci code—breakers(密码破译者)dared deal with the mystery of Mona Lisa，s smile．But Nicu Sebe，a computer expert the University of Amsterdam，the Netherlands，did．He used’emotion recognition’software to process the famous painting and found Mona Lisa happy(83 per cent)and slightly disgusted(厌烦的)(9 per cent)．
    Faces show emotions. Psychology，computer science，and engineering researchers are joining forces to teach machines to read expressions．If they succeed，your computer may one day“read”your mood．Machines equipped with emotional skills could also be used in teaching，gaming，mind－reading，etc.
    “Mind Reader”，a system developed by Rosalind Picard at MIT(the Massachusetts Institute of Tech’nology)in the US, uses input from a video camera to do real—time analysis of facial expressions. It reports on whether you seem“interested”or“agreeable”or if you’re“confused”．The system can help people recognize others’emotions．Picard says this means we could teach a machine to be as sensitive as a human．In fact，a machine can be even smarter than people since it can tell if a person is lying or just“performing”by analyzing one’s facial movements．
    Jeffrey Cohn，a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh，uses the Facial Action Coding System to recognize human emotions．The system sorts more than 40 action units(AUs)of the face to tell people’s real emotions．He studied a videotape of a criminal who said to be sad about the murder of several family members and tried to pin the blame on someone else．But Cohn saw no real sadness in the woman’s face.
    Sadness is a group of AUs that is difficult to do at the same time．You have to pull down the woman’s of your lips while bringing your eyebrows together and raising them．What the woman did was raise her cheeks to make a lip cud(撇嘴)。Her brows stayed smooth．
    64．The best title of this passage is“ ________ ”．
    A．The emotion on your face                    B．Look at your face
    C．Your face tells a story                          D．Telling a lie
    65．The missing sentence“This means，even though your mouth lice，your face doesn’t，and the machine will know it all. ”should be put at the end of ___________．
    A．Paragraph 2   B．Paragraph 3      C．Paragraph 4     D．Paragraph 5
    66．How many facial emotion analyses are mentioned in this passage?
    A．Four．               B．Three．              C．Two．         D．One
    67．The underlined word“it”refers to________．
    A．MIT                                 B．the video camera
    C．one’s face emotion            D．the real—time analysis

    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）.
    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
    Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear. 
    Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not. 
    A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reactions than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to. “The awareness of being unclear” is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can’t be sure of different people’s roles in what is going on. “It’s like I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “things are just so different here. ”
    56. The passage mainly tells us_____. 
    A. some problems about communication.                
    B. humor- an important thing in communication. 
    C. some characteristics in communicating with foreigners. 
    D. three useful ways of communicating with foreigners. 
    57. From the third paragraph, we can infer that a humorous person_____. 
    A. tends to treat everything carelessly              B. is optimistic about things.
    C. likes making fun of others.                    D. is an impatient one .
    58. The underlined part “The awareness of being unclear” refers to “_______”. 
    A. knowing the meaning of an exact situation.    B. not stating clearly what happens. 
    C. realizing the possible misunderstanding           D. being aware of the unclear situations. 
    59. What can we know from the passage?
    A. It is necessary to learn a language before you go abroad. 
    B Americans are used to the culture of other countries. 
    C. Patience usually improves the relationship with others. 
    D. To live in a foreign land, one should get fully prepared.

    D
    A team of scientists proved that seals had a very good sense of hearing. These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds. The seals always began snapping(猛咬) when a strong signal was sounded.
    It was proved that even a soft signal, a considerable distance away, could make these sea animals respond. That should make the fisherman who makes much noise while working, or talks loudly, start thinking.
    The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds. One bell-tone meant food ,two bell-tones meant no food. In the beginning, the seals made mistakes when the two bell-tones were sounded. They were given a light tap after each mistake. The seals were good learners. They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds.
    67.Why was it necessary to use blind seals? Because they______.
    A. were unable to use sight for clues    B. had better hearing
    C. were waiting to be fed             D. were the only animals to be found
    68. To those seals strong signal meant_____.
    A. snapping     B. nothing      C. food       D. a light tap
    69. The article doesn’t say directly but suggests that fishermen usually think______.
    A. seals have no good sense of hearing   B. seals have good sense of hearing
    C. seals can only recognize bell sounds   D. seals can not hear soft or long distant sounds
    70. Which title will be the best to suit the article?
    A. Clever Seals                      B. Smart Learners 
    C. An Underwater School             D. An Unknown School

    D
    An altimeter(高度计) is an instrument used in an airplane to tell the pilot how high he is flying. The altimeter used in most airplanes is a kind of barometer(气压计), which, like barometer found in ordinary homes, is a measuring instrument for air pressure. The weight of the atmosphere presses downwards everywhere. At sea level this pressure is more than 14 pounds on every square inch of the surface. The higher you go into the air, the lower the air pressure is. An altimeter measures this air pressure to show the altitude of the airplane, or, how high it is above sea level.
    But the altimeter does not show how high the plane is above the ground. A plane might be flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet, but it would be only a thousand feet or so above the ground if the land in that area happened to be 14,000 feet above sea level. The pilot adjusts his altimeter to the actual sea-level pressure before leaving the airport and then corrects it in flight by new information given to him by radio. He flies high enough to be above any mountain he may pass on his course .The barometer altimeter is correct within about 300 feet.
    Another kind of altimeter, the radio altimeter, makes use of radio reflection. It calculates the height of the flying plane by sending out electrical signals to the surface below and measuring the time required for them to bounce back(反弹). It is correct within 15 feet over water, but is not reliable over land. Big planes usually have both kinds of altimeter.
    67. Which of the following diagrams gives the correct relationship between altimeters and barometers? (a----altimeters, b----barometers)

    68. The following drawing shows a plane flying over a mountain. Which of the heights given in the drawing is given by the barometer altimeter in the plane at this moment?

    69. Suppose a plane using a radio altimeter is flying 10,000 meters above highland which is 4,000 meters above sea level. What reading will be given by the altimeter?
    A.10,000meters.   B. 4,000meters.    C.14,000meters.    D. 6,000 meters.
    70. Suppose a plane using both kinds of altimeters is flying over a mountainous area where the land rises and falls very abruptly (迅速地). The pilot keeps his plane steady at the same height. What kind of reading will you get on each of the altimeters?
    A. The readings on both altimeters will remain steady.
    B. The readings on both altimeters will rise and fall abruptly.
    C. The readings on the barometer altimeter will rise and fall abruptly, while that on the radio altimeter will remain steady.
    D. The readings on the radio altimeter will rise and fall abruptly, while that on the barometer altimeter will remain steady.

In spite of being a grandmother, she looks rather young, not more than fifty, she’s on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
    Then there’s a man I don’t care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
    The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult（咨询）the doctor about children’s various illness. She’s on her way to join her husband in India.
    64. What can we know about Mr. Stone?
    A. He is a doctor in the army now.

    Part B: Reading Comprehension 20%
    A
    Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don’t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpack might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.
    Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks.
    The backpack’s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer’s back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A mechanism with gears(传动装置) collects energy from this motion and transfers it to an electrical generator.
    Surprisingly, the researchers found, people walk differently when they wear the springy packs. As a result, wearers use less energy than when carrying regular backpacks. Also, the way the new packs ride on wearers’ backs makes them more comfortable than standard packs.
    The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers, and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. These people often rely on global positioning system(GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles(夜视镜), and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. Because the pack can make its own electricity, users don’t need to give up space in their packs to lots of extra batteries.
    For the rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren’t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!
    65. The passage introduces a new kind of ______ backpack.
    A．electronicB．electricity-producing
    C．electron-generatingD．electricity-controlling
    66. The new backpack makes use of ______ to produce power.
    batteries placed at the bottom of the frame
    the motion of the pack while the wearer walks
    energy the wearer consumes for carrying the pack
    the collective motion of a mechanism and some gears
    67. From the passage, we can infer that ______.
    the backpacks of mountaineers may become smaller in the future
    the new backpack can hardly be produced due to its potential danger
    the new backpack will someday replace MP3 players and cell phones
    the backpack will also provide electricity for lighting our houses
    68. An enormous disadvantage of power-generating backpacks might be that ______.
    they may stop working at any time
    it takes quite a while to have the energy transferred
    they may distract the wearer’s attention from road safety
    they will be extremely heavy with the mechanism

    A Subway Superhero
    Wesley Autrey can't fly, but he is still being called a real-life Superman! Last week, the brave 50-year-old rescued Cameron Hollopeter, 20, from being hit by a train. The train was entering a subway station in New York City. The young man had fallen from the station's platform and onto the train tracks a few feet below.
    Autrey, a construction worker and Navy veteran(老兵), was with his two young daughters when he saw Hollopeter fall. Autrey made a quick decision and jumped onto the tracks. He then rolled himself and Hollopeter into a gap, or opening, between the rails. Autrey used his own body to protect the young man.
    Five of the train’s cars passed over the two before stopping completely. The two men were both unharmed. Hollopeter’s stepmother, Rachel Hollopeter, called Autrey an “angel”. Autrey visited the New York Film Academy student in the hospital on Wednesday.
    For his bravery, Autrey was given a hero's welcome at City Hall. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented Autrey with the Bronze Medallion (铜奖章）. It is the city'’s highest award for achievements by its citizens. Mayor Bloomberg called Audrey “ a great man-a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers."
    After the ceremony at City Hall, a limousine (豪华轿车)took Autrey to a meeting with multimillionaire businessman Donald Trump. Trump awarded Autrey with $ 10,000. The heroic father also received $ 5,000 from the New York Film Academy, a trip to Disney World, and one year of free sub way rides.
    Even after all this attention; Autrey still doesn't see himself as a Superman.” I did it out of a split-second reaction," Autrey said on CBS' The Early Show. "And if I had to do it again, I probably would."

    In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent said. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”
    Teachers are grateful, but I know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for them to solve this problem.
    The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.
    Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.
    District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of its 38 schools.
    At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.
    In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.
    Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.
    “We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”
    At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum. “Rumors about what’s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed,” said a student. “We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”
    46. What has happened to the Vrain School District?
    A. A huge financial problem has arisen.
    B. Many schools there are mismanaged.
    C. Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.
    D. Many administrative personnel have been laid off.（A）
    47. How did the residents in the Vrain School District respond to the budget shortage?
    A. They felt somewhat helpless about it.
    B. They accused those responsible for it.
    C. They made their efforts to help solve it.
    D. They demanded a thorough investigation.（C）
    48. In the view of State Treasurer Mike Coffman, the educational budget shortage is ________.
    A. unavoidable       B. unbelievable       C. insolvable        D. invisible（B）
    49. Why did Coffman request an investigation?
    A. To see if the financial problem was covered up on purpose
    B. To find out how serious the consequence of the case would be.
    C. To make sure that the school principals were innocent.
    D. To stop the voters approving the $212 million bond issue.（A）
    50. Three high school students started a website in order to ________.
    A. attract greater public attention to their needs
    B. appeal to the public for contributions and donations
    C. expose officials who neglected their duties
    D. keep people properly informed of the crisis
