西昌市2016高考英语阅读理解和信息匹配类练习（6）及答案.doc

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项You’re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you’re yawning with him, though you’re not tired. This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words. Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we’re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.”Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person, we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting—it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”So, what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy people—otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley. “When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”1. According to Hugo Critchley, 　　　.　A. emotions are as visible as facial expressionsB. we yawn more frequently when we have a coldC. emotions are connected with states of internal responsesD. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions2. The underlined word “synchronise” in Paragraph 4 means “　　　”.　A. move slowly　　　　　　B. change rapidlyC. relax temporarily　　　　D. respond accordingly3. From the passage we can learn　　　.　A. sadness is as contagious as happinessB. anger is less contagious than friendlinessC. surprise is more contagious than smileD. surprise is the most contagious among emotions4.

The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well.

When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the results from Hollywood. "I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing at the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slums go to a proper school. The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of education opportunities —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.1. Which of the following is true about the two children? A.
