The key difference is that on a date you’re both meeting on equal ground. When you go into a job interview, however, the _____46_____

has most of the power and you have, essentially, none at all. This creates an environment where you’re going to likely be considerably more uncomfortable than the interviewer.

therefore paying attention.

All of this said, every interviewer is going to understand that you’ll be a little nervous. If you’re a little bit tense, don’t worry about it. That much is _____53_____. In fact, too much comfort might convey to some that you’re overconfident and not taking the interview _____54_____. In the end, your fate rests in the hands of another human being so there’s only so much you can do. They may not like your shoes or hire someone younger or older. You never know what you’re going to run into, but you can at least try to tip the scales in your favor with the help of some positive body language. III.

Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Thailand uses the phrase “land of smiles” to describe itself in tourist brochures and advertising campaigns and rightly so. Visitors to Thailand can expect to be greeted with a

第4页 / 共11页

上海高考生&上海试卷联合推送

smile when they leave the airport, get into a taxi or rental car and again when they enter a hotel. What makes it so easy for Thai people to smile at their visitors? The head of Thailand’s tourist bureau says that it is “in the nature of the people”. The Thai are naturally happy, he says with a smile, and they are glad to share that happiness with others.

This attitude seems to be very much appreciated by the more than five million tourists who visit Thailand each year. The country ranks high on the list of places to which visitors want to return. The reason most often stated is that the people are friendly and courteous (有礼貌的). Some other Asian destinations are not as well received. Hong Kong ranks low, with shopkeepers particularly rated as unfriendly, unhelpful and sometimes rude. Bali in Indonesia ranks high on the list, with Japan somewhere in the middle.

These reports raise the question of whether certain nationalities are naturally more courteous than others. While people may experience more friendliness in Thailand than in Hong Kong, that may have more to do with the place than the people. Travel writers point out that cities are always stressful, hurried, impersonal places, with little to offer in the ways of smiles and welcome. Bangkok is not as friendly as other places in the surrounding Thai countryside. Remote towns and villages in China, for example, offer visitors a warm welcome, with smiles and giggles from children. Perhaps it should also be pointed out that visitors themselves make a difference to the courtesy with which they are received. Polite, patient, smiling visitors will most be greeted similarly, no matter which country they are in. 70. The phrase “land of smiles” means ___________.

A. Thailand is a funny country.

B. the tourists must smile all the time in Thailand. C. there is a piece of land which can smile in Thailand. D. the people in Thailand are kind and friendly. 71. When you visit Thailand, you will find ___________.

A. If you go into the country, you can’t leave it. B. you can see smiles everywhere C. you must smile to rent a car

D. everybody in the street will smile at you

72. According to the passage, those who have been in Thailand _________.

(B)

Some American parents might think their children need better education to compete with China and other countries’ children. But how much do the parents themselves need to change? A new book called “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms. Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and a mother of two daughters. She was raised in American Midwest by immigrant Chinese parents.

In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Ms Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do.

Many people criticized Amy Chua. She also admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes disagreed with her parenting style. But she says that is the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.

Ms. Chua makes fun of her own style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!” But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities. One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility.”

Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says: “The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what does it mean to be a successful child?” Ms DeBroff says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be

social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacey DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.

74. Which of the following might be on the list of what Amy Chua’s daughters are not permitted to do ?

A. Taking an extra course. B. Getting A’s in exams. C. Getting up on schedule. D. Having a play date. 75. Stacy DeBroff believes parents should __________.

A. Raise their children as they were raised. B. find their own ways to raise their children C. be as strict as possible with their children D. Follow successful people’s parenting style

76. The word “fragility” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “__________”.

A. weakness B. consciousness C. independence D. Perseverance 77. According to the passage, Amy Chua’s parenting style is ________.

A. unique B. questioned C. reasonable D. creative

(C)

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 contagions (有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.

Hogo 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. \are closely linked with states of internal (内部的) responses, \changes in our gesture 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

上海高考生&上海试卷联合推送

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, \bodies synchronize 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? \health could suffer, \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. \78. According to Hogo Critchley, _________. A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses

D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions 79. The underlined word \synchronize\ A. move slowly B. change rapidly C. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly

80. From the passage we can learn ______. A. sadness is as contagious as happiness B. anger is less contagious than friendliness C. surprise is more contagious than smile D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions

81. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans. B. Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans. C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
