第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分）

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D中），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A

Sometimes people call each other "freaked-cat", but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream．Although the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for action．If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things．It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can．

Something like this also happens to people．When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions （feelings）, our bodies go through many physical changes．Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense．All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react．We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run．

Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face．If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble．Have you ever said something in anger —or hit somebody—and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely．

Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense．Physical illness can develop．It can actually be bad for your health．（It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed．）

Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away．It's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard．You might not be able to see them．but before long you' d smell them．And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them．They'd be rotten．

You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard．You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around．And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas．

A．Emotions Affect Our Bodies

B．What Happens to A Frightened Cat

33．If you hold in your feelings,_____．

A．gradually they'll disappear

C．they will fly all over

D．your body stays tense

34．The author wrote this article in order to_____．

A．tell us that it isn't good to keep feelings inside

B．give us some advice on how to express our feelings

C．make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings

D．make us know that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely

B

It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠） and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.

Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.

"Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.

"The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that."

Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

39. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?

A. Yawning is a form of communication.

B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.

C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.

D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.

40. According to Molly Helt, _________.

A. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others

B. yawning is a
