He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, the n go straight to your room and think about why you are so selfish!”The little boy went to his room with no words and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn‟t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy‟s room.“Sorry！Maybe I was too hard on you jus t now.” said the man, “Here‟s $10.”“Oh, thank you Daddy!” he said happily.

But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?It‟s all about personal space, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated (侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume (香水) makes you feel angry.Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire (渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest away. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.Preferences (偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin (拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.51. The writer mainly __________ in this article.A. tells us how to achieve personal spaceB. explains why people need personal spaceC. introduces some knowledge about personal spaceD. argues for the importance of keeping personal space52. What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people‟s needs.D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.53. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your person al space won‟t be violated.C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.DOne afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband's patience for putting up with (忍受) her continuous talk. Distracted (分心) by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous burst of words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop buying some souvenirs when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended (延长) it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coat room to get his wife's jacket."He's a brave man." The salesman at the counter said, "Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery (恢复) he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show.""But what dose he get out of the art?" I asked, "He can't see.""Can't see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do." The salesman said, "His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head."I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.54. The young couple were at an art museum __________.A. to show their loveB. to enjoy artC. to discuss paintingsD. to describe paintings55. "...I moved away quickly." in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer __________.A. was in the hope of visiting more roomsB. was in a hurry to buy some giftsC. was tired of the nonstop talkingD. was not interested in the art show56. We can infer from the passage that the husband __________.A. was not born blindB. couldn't put up with his wifeC. knew nothing about artD. completely depended on his wife57. The passage is mainly about __________.A. the importance of artB. good manners in publicC. patience of a husbandD. love between a couple第II卷(主观题共40分)五、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。
