第一节 （共15小题； 每小题2分， 满分30分）

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。

A

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.

As I pulled to a stop, I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed they were holding their helmets in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel,” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” when I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.

Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much. 21. The writer’s good mood ended when ___________.

A. he had to stop at a red traffic light B. he heard news between songs C. he heard a rich man broke the law D. he saw four leather-jacketed bikers 22. What were the four bikers doing at the traffic lights?

A. Having a bicycle race in the street. B. Selling helmets to the passers-by. C. Raising money to help kids in need. D. Preparing for Christmas holidays. 23. What does “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. Destroyed. B. Decreased. C. Exploded. D. Improved. 24. The writer wants to tell us that we should _________.

A. have faith in young people B. judge others by their actions

3

C. change our attitude to society D. manage to help others in need

B

Stay warm and be a nicer person

An old English saying goes: Cold hands, warm hearts. It is generally used to describe how a cool outlook often disguises (伪装) a kind heart. However, Yale University researchers seem to disapprove of the old saying. They found how physically warm you are has a direct relation to how nice you are to people.

To test the theory the scientists carried out two studies involving a total of 94 undergraduates. They gave the unwitting (不知情的) participants a glass of hot or cold coffee and then asked what they thought of a stranger after a brief meeting. They found that holding a hot cup of coffee led people to judge the stranger to be a “warmer” person, in terms of generosity and kindness, compared to a group of people who held a cup of iced coffee.

In the second study the researchers had people, who thought they were evaluating a product, hold either hot pads or cold pads. Then they give the participants a choice of rewards for participating in the study: either a gift for a friend, or a reward for themselves. The study found that people who held the hot pad were more likely to choose the gift for a friend, and people who held the cold pad were more likely to choose the reward for themselves.

“It appears that the effect of physical temperature is not just on how we see others, and it affects our own behavior as well,” said Professor John Bargh, a psychologist who carried out the study.

“Physical warmth can not only make us see others as warmer people, but also causes us to be warmer — more generous and trusting as well.”

The researchers believe the effect relates to childhood when emotional warmth given by a parent was often accompanied by the physical warmth of being held or hugged. 25. The article was written mainly to tell us that _______. A. scientists must use data to back up their findings

B. what kind of person you are determines your attitude towards others
