Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 21 to 25. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it.
This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture ( 折磨 ) is based on the human body being open to pain.
But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir ( 苦行僧 ) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle fight through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.
The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation ( 感觉 ), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.
21. The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to ______
A) stay relaxed B) avoid pain
C) feel excited D) feel pain
22. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity" in the second paragraph?
A) We have to take after our sense of pain.
B) We should try to stand pain.
C) We suffer from our sense of feeling.
D) We are hurt when we feel pain.
23. By mentioning the Indian fakir, the author means to show that ______
A) people can learn to deal with pain
B) Indians are not afraid of pain
C) fakirs may have some kind of magic power
D) some people are born with no sense of pain
24. According to the writer, which of the following is the essential factor for people to stand pain?
A) Their characteristics.
B) Their interest.
C) Their nerves.
D) Their attitude.
25. The author tells us that the most important thing to stand pain is that one should believes that ______
A) feeling pain can be an interesting thing
B) pain should be avoided at all costs
C) feeling pain is part of our life
D) magic power is essential for reducing pain
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 26 to 30.
When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about a variety of subjects,
including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men
can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both –
and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women
consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like
couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children. Since a girl' s brain is better organized to send and receive speech ,
we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
26.While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they
A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
27. When men watch TV, they can ____
A. talk a lot
B. watch the screen all the time
C. both talk a lot and watch the screen
D. either talk or watch the screen
28. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to .
A. experience the happy time again
B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot
D. remind her of something forgotten
29. What does the author want to tell us most?
A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love
talking.
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk
B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C．Women Love to Talk
D. Men Talk Differently from Women
