Part II Reading Comprehension (40
points)
Directions: There are 4 passages
in this part. Each passage is followed by
5
questions or unfinished statements. For each of
them there are 4 choices marked
A, B, C and D.
Choose the best one and mark your answer on the
ANSWER SHEET with
a single bar through the
center of the letter.
Passage One
Here's a familiar story. You're sitting at the
dinner table with a furry,
four-legged friend
scratching at your feet. When you look down, those
cute eyes
are almost impossible to resist.
What is it about a dog's gaze that
makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese
scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found
the answer, and it has to do with
something
called the cuddle(爱抚)chemical.
The cuddle
chemical has another, more scientific name:
oxytocin. Oxytocin is
a substance in the blood
that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin
increase,
for example, when a mother feeds her
newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study,
the same is true when we look deeply into the
eyes of a dog.
The results of this study
can tell us a lot about the history of the bond
between
humans and dogs. It all started
somewhere tens of thousands of years ago.
Scientists
believe that wolves used to follow
humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves
would eat the food left behind by the
humans.
Humans realized that they could
use the wolves to help with the hunt, and
eventually both species began to work together
toward survival.
Over time, the wolves
that interacted with the humans began to change.
They
became more loyal to their human
partners. The wolves and humans started to depend
on each other and bond with each other. These
changes are what caused some of the
wolves to
turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^
evolved to better survive
in their
environment.
This process depended a great
deal on the bond humans formed with them. And
according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was
formed with the help of oxytocin,
the cuddle
chemical.
11. What do we know about
oxytocin?
A. It regulates blood flow. B.
It promotes bonding.
C. It is in the human
gene. D. It is good for health.
12. When
we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of
our oxytocin ____.
A. reduce over time B.
go either up or down
C. are on the rise D.
remain unchanged
13. At the beginning
wolves followed humans to ____.
A. eat the
food left by humans B. guard against large
animals
C. take humans for food D. hunt
large animals together
14. Over time some
wolves turned into dogs ____.
A. due to
their loyalty B. due to the changing
environment
C. for better survival D. for
better cooperation
15. What does
Nagasawa9s study aim to do?
A. Explore the
role of human-wolf partnership.
B. Show
the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.
C. Explain the bond between humans and
dogs.
D. Understand the evolution of
species.

term in English that is used to describe children
who
have grown up in a different culture to
that of their parents. There are great
things
about experiencing such a unique childhood. Third
culture kids can also
face many
challenges.

English parents. When I was two years old my dad
got a new job in Poland. Since then I have
lived in four other countries around
the
world. Although I have a British passport,I
sometimes don't feel very English
at all!

lot when 1 was younger experiencing
many
diverse cultures and countries. I was able to try
different foods, learn
different languages,
experience different traditions and meet people
from
different backgrounds. I am also lucky to
have friends all over the world that
1 keep in
regular contact with.

many people
1 was very close to because one of us moved
country. It was also very
disorientating to
have an English passport, but not feel very
English at all.
Because 1 had no access to
English culture, returning 4home, often felt like
visiting a foreign country. Happily, now l
feel more at home in England—although
the
question, “where are you from?” still confuses
me!

过去,社会成员相互之间在地理位置层面上居住的相对比
较近,住在同一个村庄、镇、或者城市。然而如

参考范文:
A
good book is a light to the soul
In the
last several weeks, I have finished reading a
humorous book called Emma
which inspired me to
rethink my ideas on relationship, friendship as
well as
kindness.
The main character
called Emma Woodhouse, a clever and beautiful
lady, is born
in a rich family. She is so
kindhearted that she cares so much about the
happiness
and marriage of her friends. She is
successful in her so-called matchmaking career
until she meets Harriet. Emma is eager to
introduce Harriet to a rich gentleman,
but it
turns out that this gentleman loves Emma instead.
What a mess! She cares
too much about her
friends, but she is so insensitive to her own
feelings.
Fortunately, she eventually finds
that her true love, Mr. Knightly, is just beside
her all the time. Knightly loves her with
heart and soul, and Harriet also finds
her
true love.
I learn from the novel that we
should be kind to everyone around us and respect
the choice of our friends. On the other hand,
we should not neglect the kindness
and love
from the people around us.
