I ask them to repeat themselves a lot!”Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation, Xie Lei chose to live with a host f

19、amily who can help with her adaptation to the new culture. “When I miss home, I feel comforted to have a second family,” Xie Lei said. “When theres something I dont know or understand, I ask them.

20、 in the future. We take turns to cook each evening. They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs!

21、 her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas, but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people. Her tutor advised her to read a lot of information in order to form a wise

22、 opinion of her own.Xie Lei also found many courses included students participation in class as part of the final result. Students need to generate ideas, offer examples, apply concepts, and raise questions, as well as give presentations. At first, Xie Lei had no idea what she should say but what su

23、rprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks. “My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success, which boosted my confidence,” she said, “Ill use these skills back home for presentation.

British people are fascinated by our culture a

25、nd eager to learn more about it, so Im keen to share my culture with them. While Im learning about business, Im also acting as a cultural messenger building a bridge between us.”We will follow Xie Leis progress in later editions, but for now, we wish her all the best.4.

In the stu

35、dy, hundreds of college students were fitted with recorders, and the total number of words they used during the day was then counted.The results, published in the New Scientist, showed that women speak about 16,000 words a day and men speak only slightly fewer. In fact, the four most talkative peopl

36、e in the study were all men.Professor Matthias Mehl, who was in charge of the research, said that he and his colleagues had expected to find that women were more talkative.However, they had been skeptical of the common belief that women use three times as many words as men. This idea became popular

37、after the publication of a book called The Female Brain (2006) whose author, Louann Brizendine, claimed that “a woman uses about 20,000 words per day, whereas a man uses about 7,000.”Professor Mehl accepts that many people will find the results difficult to believe. However, he thinks that this rese

38、arch is important because the stereotype, that women talk too much and men keep quiet, is bad not only for women but also for men. “It says that to be a good male, its better not to talk-that silence is golden.”GOSSIP WITH THE GIRLS? -JUST PICK ANY ONE OF FORTY SUBJECTSWomen are experts at gossiping

39、 - and they often talk about trivial things, or at least thats what men have always thought. However, according to research done by Professor Petra Boynton, a psychologist at University College London, when women talk to women their conversations are not trivial at all, and cover many more topics (u

40、p to 40) than when men talk to other men.Womens conversations range from health to their houses, from politics to fashion, from movies to family, from education to relationship problems. Almost everything, in fact, except soccer. Men tend to talk about fewer subjects, the most popular being work, sp

41、orts, jokes, cars, and women.Professor Boynton interviewed over 1,000 women for her study. She also found that women move quickly from one subject to another in conversation, whereas men usually stick to one subject for longer periods of time.Professor Boynton also says that men and women talk for d

42、ifferent reasons. In social situations, women use conversation to solve problems and reduce stress, while men talk to each other to laugh or to exchange opinions.8. What was the stereotype that the research by Professor Mehl wanted to investigate ?A. Women use three times as many words as men.B. Men

43、 and women talk for different reasons.C. It is a good idea that silence is golden.D. Women are more talkative than men.9. What did the research by Professor Boynton show ?A. Men tend to talk about their houses and jobs.B. Women are experts at talking about almost everything.C. Men move quickly from

44、one subject to another in conversationD. Womens conversations cover numerous more subjects than mens.10. What does the underlined word “whereas” function as?A. A linking word used to contrast two facts.B. A verb indicating that something is true.C. A noun leading to new information.D. An adverb whic

45、h means “really”.11. What might be the most suitable subtitle for the title “Men talk just as much as women-_?A. Whats for small talk?B. Can it really be true ?C. Modern manners?D. A golden rule ?【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B【解析】【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章通過介紹科學(xué)研究，闡述了如下內(nèi)容：女人并不比男人的話多；女性在談?wù)撌撬婕暗脑掝}是更廣泛的；同時男性和女性說話的原因不同

46、。【8題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Research by psychologists at the University of Arizona has shown that the stereotype that women talk more than men may not be true.(亞利桑那大學(xué)心理學(xué)家的研究表明，女人比男人話多的刻板印象可能并不正確。)”可知，梅爾教授的研究想要調(diào)查的刻板印象是女人比男人話多。故選D?！?題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中“However, according to research done by Professor Petra Boy

47、nton, a psychologist at University College London, when women talk to women their conversations are not trivial at all, and cover many more topics (up to 40) than when men talk to other men.(然而，根據(jù)倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院的心理學(xué)家佩特拉博因頓教授的研究，當(dāng)女人和女人交談時，她們的談話一點(diǎn)也不瑣碎，而且比男人和其他男人交談時涉及更多的話題 (多達(dá)40個)。)”可知，女性的談話內(nèi)容涵蓋的主題要比男性多得多。故選D。【

48、10題詳解】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段中“ Louann Brizendine, claimed that a woman uses about 20,000 words per day, whereas a man uses about 7,000.( Louann Brizendine，聲稱：一個女人每天使用大約2萬個單詞，whereas一個男人每天使用大約7000個單詞。)”可知，劃線詞前后是將女人和男人說話的詞量進(jìn)行了比較。故whereas的作用是用來對比兩個事實(shí)的連接詞。故選A。【11題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章的第一段“Research by psychologists at the

49、University of Arizona has shown that the stereotype that women talk more than men may not be true.( 亞利桑那大學(xué)心理學(xué)家的研究表明，女人比男人話多的刻板印象可能并不正確。)”可知，文章圍繞人們的對女性講話的刻板印象展開，縱觀全文，來解釋這種刻板印象是錯誤的。同時揭示了“女人并不比男人的話多”；“女性在談?wù)撌撬婕暗脑掝}是更廣泛的”；同時“男性和女性說話的原因是不同的”等事實(shí)。主標(biāo)題“Men talk just as much as women(男人和女人一樣愛說話)”這強(qiáng)調(diào)的是人們的刻板印象，副

50、標(biāo)題用反問的語氣揭示文章的主旨即這種刻板印象是不正確的。故選B。DTHE TIME MACHINEIt was at ten oclock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever (操縱桿) on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking

51、 around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it nearly half past three!I drew a breath, gripped(緊握) the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around

52、 me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further.

53、ipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still.It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon

54、looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being cha

55、nged, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travel

56、led at maximum speed, it didnt matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thr

57、own through the air.I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said, “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!”(Adapted from the novel The Time Machine written by H.G.Wells, a novel
