19.A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions(情感).The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.
"These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,"said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda."A person's culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符號),which are used to convey a writer's emotions over email and text messaging.The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn,while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons:) and:-) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons:(or:-( show a sad face.However,Japanese tend to use the symbol (‘‘) to indicate a happy face,and (;_; )to indicate a sad face.
"We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions.The Japanese would focus on a person's eyes when determining emotion,as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),"said Masuda."In the United States,where open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth,which is the most expressive feature on a person's face."

51.The text mainly tells us thatB.
A.cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B.culture is the key to interpreting facial emotions
C.different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D.people from different cultures express emotions differently
52.Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?C
A.(;_;)  B.:-(      C.:-)     D.(‘‘)
53.If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false,he will probablyD.
A.read the whole face       B.focus on the mouth
C.judge by the voice        D.look into the eyes
54.People used to believe thatD.
A.some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized
B.people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways
C.people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions
D.people all over the world understood basic emotions almost in the same way.

14.These days no car show is complete without an electric car,and the 2011North American International Auto Show in Detroit,US,which ran from January 10to 23,was no exception.
Among the fully electric vehicles on display were the Ford Focus Electric and the Honda Fit EV.BMW and Volvo also had prominent displays at the show,proving that they can produce practical,yet spacious family-oriented electric cars.
Industry insiders at the show claimed that more efficient batteries,improved performance and greater consumer acceptance could make 2011the"year of electric car".
It's long been clear that electric cars score heavily for convenience.They are,for instance,much easier to maintain than gasoline-powered cars.When the battery runs out,you simply replace it or recharge it,just like you would for a cell phone or a laptop.
This is also a much cheaper method than filling your tank with gasoline.Better yet,electric cars don't emit exhaust fumes.As a result,they don't produce environmentally damaging greenhouse gases.
It appears that improved technology is making electric cars and their maintenance much more user-friendly.So,what are the obstacles which are preventing electric cars from becoming popular and fashionable?
Home charging for electric cars could be extremely convenient for users.However,it is also a potential obstacle.For a start,installing charging stations in owners'homes will be a challenge,particularly for those who have to park several blocks away from their homes.
Also,charging the car's battery still takes quite a long time.It may be some time yet before you can recharge an electric car in the same time as you can refill your gas tank.
Another problem is that many electric vehicles have limited ranges that may only allow for journeys of 50miles (80km) or less between charges.In cases where a driver wishes to charge the car primarily at home (perhaps overnight),this limits their daily driving to the range of their vehicle.
This may be one reason why hybrid cars are now becoming more popular.A hybrid car has more than one energy source,usually a traditional gasoline fuel tank and an electric battery.It's like a more practical version of an electric car:It's greener than a conventional vehicle,with fewer CO2emissions,yet it also doubles as a conventional vehicle.
"I would say that hybrid is a transition to fully electronic,"Road and Track magazine editor Richard Horman told Detroit News during the show."The trend is for lighter,smarter,more economical cars.Of course,electronic vehicles are meant to be that way."
This sounds promising,particularly in light of the fact that the show featured more electric cars from big manufacturers than ever before.
However,it seems that the technology associated with electric cars is not yet able to fully meet people's expectations.Don't expect gasoline-powered cars to disappear from roads just yet.

60.What made electric cars more convenient?A
A.Easier maintenance.
B.High scores on the show.
C.Practicality and large space.
D.Much lower prices.
61.Which of the following could NOT act as a potential obstacle of electric cars?D
A.It is rough work to install charging stations at home.
B.It is time-consuming to charge the batteries.
C.The ranges between charges are limited.
D.There's no need to fill the tank with petrol.
62.In Paragraph 10,the underlined word"hybrid"is probably closest in meaning toC.
A.gasoline       B.electric    C.combined    D.separated
63.The writer's purpose in writing this passage is toB.
A.introduce the 2011Auto Show in US       B.get readers informed of electric cars
C.comment on different types of cars      D.a(chǎn)dvertise for electric cars.

8.When you think about math,you probably don't think about breaking the law,solving mysteries or finding criminals.But a mathematician in Maryland does,and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.
People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal (揭示) the identity of the criminal.It's long been believed,for example,that criminals will break the law closer to where they live,simply because it's easier to get around in their own neighborhood.If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area,they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes.So,the farther away from the area a crime takes place,the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.
But Mike O'Leary,a mathematician at Towson University in Maryland,says that this kind of approach may be too simple.He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminal's home base by combining these patterns with a city's layout (布局) and historical crime records.
The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets-that is,the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob.Because these stores are along roads,the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are.O'Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city.His program also includes information about the people who live in the city,and information about how a criminal's patterns change with age.It's been shown,for example,that the younger the criminal,the closer to home the crime.
Other computer programmers have worked on similar software,but O'Leary's uses more math.The mathematician plans to make his computer program available,free of charge,to police departments around the country.
The program is just one way to use math to fight crime.O'Leary says that criminology-the study of crime and criminals-contains a lot of good math problems."I feel like I'm in a gold mine and   I'm the only one who knows what gold looks like,"he says."It's a lot of fun."

61.To find criminals,police usuallyD.
A.check who are on the crime scene
B.seek help from local people
C.depend on new mathematical tools
D.focus on where crimes take place
62.O'Leary is writing a computer program thatC.
A.uses math to increase the speed of calculation
B.tells the identity of a criminal in a certain area
C.provides the crime records of a given city
D.shows changes in criminals'patterns
63.By"I'm the only one who knows what gold looks like",O'Leary means that heC.
A.is better at finding gold than others
B.is the only one who uses math to make money
C.knows best how to use math to help solve crimes
D.has more knowledge of gold than other mathematicians
64.What do you know about O'Leary according to the passage?B
A.He is a man full of impractical imagination.
B.He is a man full of self-confidence.
C.He is a man who is talkative but lazy.
D.He is a man who doesn't like mathematics.
65.What is the main idea of the text?A
A.Math could help police find criminals.
B.Criminals live near where crimes occur.
C.Crime records could be used to fight crime.
D.Computer software works in preventing crimes.
