Unit 1 The world

一、阅读理解。

Sometimes, you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, there's a lump in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. A professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands,has studied crying.According to Vingerhoets, there're three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the world.Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there're emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states,” explains Vingerhoets.

Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex social creatures,” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor from Pittsburgh University, in Pennsylvania. “It seems that tears can make them get help and support from others.”

She says another reason why we weep is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time to grow up. Vingerhoets agrees. “I think that the reason why humans shed(流出)emotional tears has to do with our prolonged(延长的) childhood,” he says. “That's the time when we're still dependent on adults for love,protection and care. The major advantage of tears is that you can target them at a specific person.”

Vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Loud crying could attract predators(捕食者). Tears were a safer way to get attention. “In this case, it's better to use a silent signal to ask for help,” he says. Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. 1.The tears mentioned in Paragraph 1 should belong to ________. A.basal tears B.reflex tears

1

C.happy tears D.emotional tears

2.What is Vingerhoets' attitude to the effects of tears? A.Passive. B.Positive. C.Doubtful. D.Indifferent.

3.The underlined phrase of “a silent signal” probably refers to ________. A.a written language B.predators C.tears D.loud crying

4.What is the best title of the text? A.Types of Tears B.Precious Tears C.Secrets of Tears D.On Tears

参考答案： 1.D; 2.B; 3.C; 4.C

解析： 1.[推理判断题。根据第二段Finally, there're emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states,” explains Vingerhoets.可推断出,第一段提到的泪水属于emotional tears。]

2.[态度判断题。根据倒数第二段可知其实文中这两位科学都认为泪水有好处,即积极看待眼泪。]

3.[词义猜测题。根据文中划线前Tears were a safer way to get attention.的叙述可知,在这种情况下(在史前时期人类大声哭泣会引来危险的动物),最好用这种“无声的信号”来寻求帮助。因此这种无声的信号就是前面所指的“眼泪”。]

4.[标题归纳题。文章从科学研究的角度对眼泪的种类、哭的原因等做了科学的分析,揭示了眼泪不为人知的秘密。故该项用作文章的标题最佳。]
