Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here’s how it works.‎ Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger(食指) longer than your ring finger（无名指）? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.‎ Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.‎ Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even to the point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.‎ Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.‎ How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!‎ ‎21. Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?‎ ‎                              ‎ A.            B.            C.          D.‎ ‎22. We can learn from the passage that the author ______.‎ A. is very charming and helpful                            B. always tries hard to avoid a fight C. often takes silly tests on Facebook       D. thinks the descriptions suit him well ‎23. Where can you probably find the text?‎ A. A popular magazine.       B. An official report.     ‎ C.A public advertisement.     D.A biology textbook.‎ B When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there would be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanly talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.‎ I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).‎ I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.‎ I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “find,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.‎ ‎24. Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?‎ A. He was talking fast                  B. He was shocked C. He was in a hurry                   D. He was absent-minded ‎25. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to paragraph 3?‎ A. He enjoyed the drink                  B. He wanted to be helpful C. He took the chance to rest             D. He tried to please his dad ‎26. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system”?‎ A. recover from her sadness               B. move out of the neighborhood ‎ C. turn to her old friends                 D. speak out about her past ‎27. What does the author think people in a community should do?‎ ‎   A. Open up to others                    B. Depend on each other ‎   C. Pay for others’ help                   D. Care about one another C Larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.‎ ‎　 But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say.‎ ‎　 They have found that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.‎ ‎　 Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes.‎ ‎　 Larks or ‘morning people’, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls.‎ ‎　 The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning.‎ ‎　 School performance and inductive(归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account.‎ ‎　 The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance.‎ ‎　 They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been ‎ linked to creative thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.‎ ‎　 Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley.‎ ‎　 George W Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks.‎ ‎　 Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: “Evening types tend to be the more creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers(推断者), as often seen with civil servants and accountants.”‎ ‎　　A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking creatively to solve problems than larks.‎ ‎28. What does the word “owl” refer to in the text?‎ ‎ A. A bird of prey that flies at night. B. A kind of person who stays up late.‎ ‎ C. A kind of person who gets up early. D. A bird of prey that is a symbol of wisdom. ‎ ‎29. The following features belong to night owls EXCEPT that ____________.‎ ‎ A. Night owls are much healthier and happier ‎ B. Night owls stay up late and sleep later in the morning ‎ C. Night owls have a strong ability of inductive reasoning ‎ D. Night owls are expert in analyzing and creative thinking ‎30. What’s the author’s attitude towards night owls?‎ ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Subjective. D. Negative.‎ ‎31. According to the passage, which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. The early bird will catch the worm.‎ ‎ B. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs. ‎ ‎ C. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.‎ ‎ D. President Obama and Gorge W Bush are models of night owls. ‎ D Are you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame, not your parents.‎ This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions — West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and ‎ Northern Europe, using 3D facial imaging technology.‎ ‎“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,” Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told the Guardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls(头骨), Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.‎ The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages (鼻道) help to increase the wet content of air and warm it, which is easier on our lungs. This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.‎ More study is still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issue. “As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climates that we are not adapted to,” he told the Guardian. This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.‎ However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modem medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be.”‎ ‎32. According to the passage, people from China might have ________ noses than those from Norway.‎ A. wider    B. narrower C. smaller    D. bigger ‎33. Narrower noses are helpful to ________.‎ A. cool the air    B. warm the air C. take in more oxygen    D. dry the air ‎34. What can be learned about the study?‎ A. Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents.‎ B. Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.‎ C. Zaidi’s team measured human skull using 3D technology.‎ D. It’s certain that people living nearby equator will suffer from more breathing problems.‎ ‎35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. What factors shape noses    B. How to make your nose attractive C. Nose shapes cause breathing problems    D. Climate shapes noses 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（答题卡上E=AB F=AC G=AD）‎ ‎ It’s nice being nice to others; it’s also great to give people a hand. However, if you start to hurt yourself by doing so, then this is not so healthy. ____36____ If you fear that you might fall into this category, the following tips will help you to stand up for yourself and regain your self-confidence.‎ ‎ ____37____‎ ‎ Although you may often stay silent if something is wrong or bothers you, it is better to speak your mind right away. You don’t have to be rude, but you do have to be firm and direct. Don’t do things for others if you don’t really want to. Speak up, and soon others will be seeing you in a whole new light.‎ ‎ Start small.‎ ‎ ____38____ This will allow you to practice being brave and self-confident.
