Emma BrofskyBEveryone smiles in the same language. But not everyone smiles in the same medium, and that might be hurting us.That’s according to a new study from researches at the University of Haifa and Ben-Gurion University, both in Israel, and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Inadvertently timed to the recent release of “The Emoji Movie,”scientists decided to study whether using smile emojis in text messages between work colleagues caused the same warm feelings as a face-to-face interaction that includes a smile.The results? For the first time, science was able to confirm that a smile emoji does not conjure those same feelings. Quite the opposite, in face: using a smile emoji in conversation actually decreases perception of the colleague’s competence and inserts a level of distance into the relationship.It’s a phenomenon study leader Arik Cheshin dubbed “virtual first-impression management.” He and his colleagues, including co-leader Ella Glikson, conducted several experiments analyzing the reactions to text messages that included smile emojis versus messages that don’t. They also measured these same interactions in social settings and found that the emojis actually improved perception.“I believe there is a greater gap in what the sender is hoping to convey and what the receiver interprets,”Cheshin, a professor, said, “Thisintention-interpretation gap can be damaging.”In addition, Cheshin and colleagues found that the effects of smiley use on social perceptions occur regardless of the expresser’s perceived gender.So what’s the takeaway here “I don’t think that emoticons and emojis replace actual emotion.”Cheshin told us. “They are just different. The emotions are there and will always be when there are humans involved.”Before picking an emoji that fits your mood at the moment, it’s better to just use words at least when you’re at work. Or, better yet, just show up and talk face-to-face. You know, like the good old days.24.What is found in the study by Arik?A. Work colleagues use smile emojis moreB. A smile emoji leads to warm feelingsC. Smile emojis keep colleagues at a distanceD. Smiley use works better than face-to-face interaction25.According to Cheshin, the emojis senders may not know .A. how much virtual impression it leavesB. how it changes social settingsC. how it has improved perceptionD. how the receiver will understand it26.What is the writer’s attitude towards emojis at work?A. CautiousB. PositiveC. DisapprovingD. Indifferent27.What is the best title for the text?A. Words mean much more than your smile emojisB. Your smile emojis won’t replace your actual smileC. Smiling is a universal language in any communicationD. Misunderstanding may arise from smile emojisCReyna Gordon was an aspiring opera singer fresh out of college when she began considering the questions that would eventually define her career.“I moved to Italy when I finished my bachelor of music, and I started to take more linguistic classes and to think about language in the brain, and music in the brain,”she says. “What was happening in our brains when we were listening to music, when we were singing? What was happening in my brain when I was singing?”Today, Gordon studies how rhythm and music training might help children with atypical language development.“One thing that rhythm and grammar have in common is that they both unfold over time, and our brains form expectancies about what’s coming up based on what we just heard,” says Gordon.Consider the following sentence: The boy read the book that his mother gave to him. “When we hear ‘The boy read,’then we’re expecting an object after that,”Gordon says. “Then when we hear ’The boy read the book? that we’re expecting an additional clause-something else about the book.’”By age 5, Gordon says children typically understand and use complex sentences. But studies have shown that about 7 percent of children have what’s known as developmental language disorder, which prevents their language skills even though they have IQs in the normal range and don’t have autism or hearing impairment. Gordon says. “So expressing complex ideas, especially as they start to go through school, is difficult.”Gordon studies children with and without language impairment in a training program called MILEStone, which involves weekly Suzuki violin lessons and a weekly movement class.“There may be something that music training can do to help boost things. Maybe we’re able to boost their auditory processing skills in the brain, or something about their rhythm sensitivity in their everyday listening to language,” Gordon says. “We don’t know yet, so we actually have a whole series of questions to look at.”28.What did the questions that Reyna considered reflect?A. Her trouble as an opera singerB. Her interest in music classesC. Her puzzlement at the role of brainD. Her curiosity about language and music29.How does Gordon find children with good rhythm skills?A. They have a good grasp of grammarB. They are easy to have good expectationsC. They expect their brain to form good expectationsD. They tend to read books on grammar30.What do children with developmental language disorder have?A. Poor IQ at their young agesB. Difficulty expressing complex ideasC. A serious hearing impairmentD. Clear autistic behaviors in life31.How was the role of MILEStone according to the last paragraph?A. PracticalB. DoubtfulC. DecisiveD. UnclearDMachines might one day replace human laborers in a number of professions, but surely they won’t ever replace human artists. Right?Think again. Not even our artists will be safe from the inevitable machine takeover, if a new development in artificial intelligence by a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Facebook's A.I. lab offers a clue of what's to come. They have designed an A.I. capable of not only producing art, but actually inventing whole new aesthetic styles similar to movements like impressionism or abstract expressionism, reports. The idea, according to researcher Marian Mazzone, was to make art that is "novel, but not too novel."The model used in this project involved a generator network, which produces the images, and a discriminator network, which "judges" whether it's art. Once the generator learns how to produce work that the distributor recognizes as art, it's given an additional directive: to produce art that doesn't match any known aesthetic styles."You want to have something really creative and striking-but at the same time not go too far and make something that isn't aesthetically(美学地) pleasing," explained Ahmed Elgammal.The art that was generated by the system was then presented to human judges alongside human-produced art without showing which was which. To the researchers' surprise, the machine-made art scored slightly higher overall than the human-produced art.Of course, machines can't yet replace the meaning that's infused in works by human artists, but this project shows that artist skill sets certainly seem duplicatable by machines.What will it take for machines to produce content that's infused with meaning? That might be the last A.I. frontier. Human artists can at least hang their hatsin that field...for now."Imagine having people over for a dinner party and they ask, ‘Who is that by?’And you say, ‘Well,it's a machine actually’.That would be an interesting conversation starter," said Kevin Walker.32.What is implied in the first paragraph?A. Artists won't be replaced by AIB. AI can produce new styles of artC. AI is totally at a loss about impressionismD. AI fails to reflect abstract expressionism33.What did Marian find in his study?A. AI can copy the skills of artistsB. AI can combine content with meaningC. AI can make art aesthetically unpleasantD. AI can please human judges with its art34.What does the underlined phrase “hang their hats” mean?A. DiscoverB. HoldC. StruggleD. Survive35.What Kevin said in the last paragraph tells us that .A. she uses machines to cook for a partyB. she likes to joinin a dinner partyC. she expects the arrival of AID. she cares about the starter of a chat第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Except, with traffic, the particles have minds of their own.There are two kinds of traffic flow.

What scientists have figured out over the past decade or so is when and why traffic ____45____ between the two.“We see in our models that traffic bees unstable when the number of cars (passing a specific spot) per lane per hour reaches between 2,000 and 2,500. At that nominal capacity level, traffic is very likely to bee unstable,” says Hani Mahmassani, a traffic scientist at No rthwestern University in Chicago.Consider a ____46____ case. A slow-moving car shifts into the left lane to pass an even slower-moving car. The car ____47____ behind the lane-changer has to decelerate ____48____ - not just to the speed of the car in front of him, but slow enough to create a safe driving distance between them. The next car back has to slow down even more, again to give itself a ____49____.

For each of them in passage A, B and C, there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The big screen is never short of films about World WarⅡ. When Nazi Germany is featured in these films, cruel Nazi officers and brutal concentration camps most often represent it. But the new Hollywood movie Valkyrie tells a di fferent story, “a chapter of German history which is little known abroad”, according to the German Cultural Minister Bernd Neumann.Valkyrie is based on a true incident that took place in 1944. Colonel Stauffenberg had been a loyal soldier for his entire military career. However, after losing an eye, a hand, and three fingers in an Allied bombing, he reached breaking point. The destruction that his country had brought to its European neighbors had bee too terrible for the colonel to bear in silence. He hoped that someone would find a way to stop Adolf Hitler, one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known. Realizing that time was running out, he decided that he must take action himself and joined the German resistance. These men drew up Operation Valkyrie, a plot to assassinate (murder) Hitler and to overthrow his Nazi government from the inside. This plot is what the film is named after and focuses on.The Hollywood star Tom Cruise plays the lead role. “This was a very challenging film to make. We c arried a huge responsibility to correctly portray history,” Cruise said.However, the production has drawn criticism for lacking depth and for simplifying the motives behind the plot.16.The passage tells us that Valkyrie is _____.A.a story written by Bernd NeumanB. a chapter in a German history bookC. a movie about Nazi concentration campsD. a movie about a plan to assassinate Hitler17.What does the sentence “he reached breaking point” probably mean?A.He narrowly escaped being killed.B.

Those who have experienced the flight can get a certificate.(C)Celebrity has bee one of the most important representatives of popular culture.Fans used to be crazy about a specific film,but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product.Besides,fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces.As a result,celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential,moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.Cel ebrity clothing lines aren’t a pletely new phenomenon,but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers,and limited to a few TV actresses.Today they’re started byfirst-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands.The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style.As celebrities bee more and more experienced at the market,they expand their production scale rapidly,covering almost all the products of daily life.However,f or every success story,there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal.No matter how famous the product’s origin is,if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing.And onceToday,celebrities face even more severe embarrassment.The pop-cultural circle might beis limitless.Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition,many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered.As the saying goes,success and failure always go hand in hand.Their success as designers might last only a short time,but fashion - like celebrity - has always been temporary.23.Fashion magazines today ________.A.seldom put models on the coverB.no longer put models on the coverC.need not worry about celebrities’ market potentialD.judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly24. “loyalty(忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels” in Paragraph 4 echoes the idea that _______.A.ordinary consumers are more concerned with price rather than brand nameB.celebrity branded products can be an instant successC.con sumer’s enthusiasm for celebrity branded products prove to be inconstantD.to consumers, quality matters more than the outside of products.25.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly ________.A.decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his productsB.damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general publicC.cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show businessD.influence the price of a celebrity’s products26.The passage is mainly about ________. .A.celebrity and personal styleB.celebrity and market potentialC.celebrity and fashion designD.celebrity and clothing industry(D)President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits, research grants, education reforms, and tax changes designed to make American industry more petitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.The most liberal wing of the President's party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an ines policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increases in the President's program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defence spending.Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances,' then it will not be able to pete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still farther behind its foreign petitors.So the crux is the technology and that is where president's program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed, it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.27.What is the requirement of the most liberal wing of the Democratic-party?A.They want a more direct action.B.They want an ines policy to check inflation.C.They want to rebuild industry.D.They want a wall of protective tariffs.28.What is the editors attitude toward the economic restructuring plan?A.supportiveB.indifferentC.disapprovingDpromising29.The focus of the President's program is on ________.A.investmentB.economyC.technologyD.tax30. The danger to the plan lies in ________.A.the two parties' objectionB.different idea of the two parties about the planC.its passageD.improper revision of its focus(E)Our mobile devices give us a remarkable ability: to document every moment of our lives. But in our relentless attempt to curate all of these experiences for others using a variety of filters, are we missing perhaps the most important filter of all- a 'moral' one?The latest example of the moral ambiguities of curation in a mobile world came this week, when the New York Post published a photo taken seconds before a man who had been pushed onto the subway tracks was fatally struck. The photo was published on the Post's front page with the chilling headline, 'Doomed' This wasn't the first time a witness to a casualty has opted to capture an image rather than help the victim, but this time, the subway photo controversy extended beyond a single photojournalist faced with a moral dilemma. According to accounts of the tragic NYC subway incident, there were other onlookers as well, snapping photos and recording video in the fateful 22 seconds, rather than attempting to help the victim.If this tragic scenario sounds familiar, that's because it is. Malcolm Gladwell described a similar type of event in his book, The TIPPING Point. In 1964, thirty-eight different New Yorkersrefused to help a woman who was being murdered in their neighborhood despite hearing her cries for help. The case of Kitty Genovese was so inexplicable at the time that psychologists have even given it a name- the 'bystander effect'. That people could be aware of such a tragic event happening in front of them and still be unresponsive could only be attributed to a societal diffusion of responsibility. Each of the 38 bystanders felt that enough people were witnessing the event that each of them, individually was no longer responsible for being involved.If anything, our mobile devices have intensified this. When faced with difficult or awkward social situations, we often retreat into observer mode, confident that the appearance of being engaged with our device will absolve us of any individual responsibility to act. Yet, when we bee silent curators of the world around us, we run the risk of distancing ourselves from our subjects so pletely that we no longer feel the moral imperative to act.During the early years of the social media boom, expert mentators liked to say that society was moving from a 'lean back' mode to a 'lean forward' mode. Instead of leaning back and passively consuming TV on our couches, we were leaning forward and adding our voices to the conversation via the Web. We seemed to be more engaged with what was happening in the world around us, interacting with others across many different platforms and seemingly turning every event into a chance for active participation.It would be a shame if the mobile revolution turns out to be a step backward, transforming all of us once again into passive curators of the world around us, rather than active participants. Consider that, as a society, we have reached a point where it is pletely acceptable to see two people having dinner together, curating photos of the food in front of them rather than conversing with each other. Many of us seem to walk around with our heads permanently down, furiously tapping away on our tiny screens rather than engaging with others. Then, when an event happens - tragic or otherwise - many of us reflexively turn to the screen to capture it, putting us all at risk of turning into mobile bystanders.31.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that________.A. the photojournalist who took the subway photo was from New York PostB. the man who died in the accident mitted suicideC. the photojournalist and the bystanders are thought as immoral.D. all the bystanders were busy snapping photos or recording videos32.The subway photo controversy extended beyond a single photojournalist because ________.A. he was supposed to play his moral partB. the publicized photo aroused sympathy among the publicC. life saving should go before any professional dutyD. other onlookers had the same response as the photojournalist33. The 'bystander effect' is caused by ________.A. the widespread use of mobile devicesB. people's decreasing moralityC. the large amount of bystandersD. the dispersion of responsibility34.Which of the following belongs to a 'lean forward' mode?A.Watching TV on the couches.B. Playing offline puter games.C. Remarking on the latest news via the Internet.D. Taking photos of food while having dinner with other people.35.What*s the author's attitude towards mobile bystanders?A. Critical.B. Indifferent.C. Approving.D. Ambiguous.IV.

In a world struggling with rapid industrialization, science and technology seemed to offer solutions to almost every problem. Newly created state colleges and universities devoted themselves almost entirely to scientific, technological, and engineering fields. Many Americans came to believe that scientific certainty could not only solve scientific problems, but also reform politics, government, and business. Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world. After World War Ⅱ, the academic world turned with new enthusiasm to humanistic studies, which seemed to many scholars the best way to ensure the survival of democracy. American scholars are all over the world—with support from the Ford Foundation, the Fulbright program, etc.—to promote the teaching of literature and the arts in an effort to make the case for democratic freedoms.In the America of our own time, the great educational challenge has bee an effort to strengthen the teaching of what is now known as the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math). There is much reasonable concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines. India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.At the same time, perhaps inevitably, the humanities—while still popular in key colleges and universities—have experienced a significant decline. Humanistic disciplines are seriously underfunded, not just by the government and the foundations but by academic institutions themselves. Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members at most institutions and are often lightly regarded because they do not generate grant ine and because they provide no obvious credentials (资质) for most nonacademic careers.Undoubtedly American education should train more scientists and engineers. Much of the concern among politicians about the state of American universities today is focused on the absence of “real world” education—which means preparation for professional and scientific careers. But the idea that institutions or their students must decide between humanities and science is false. Our society could not survive without scientific and technological knowledge. But we would be equally impoverished (贫困的) without humanistic knowledge as well. Science and technology teach us what we can do. Humanistic thinking helps us understand what we should do.It is almost impossible to imagine our society without thinking of the extraordinary achievements of scientists and engineers in building our plicated world. But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values. We have always needed, and we still need, both.68.In the early 20th century Americans believed science and technology could _____.A. promote the nation’s social progressB. help raise people’sliving standardsC. quicken the pace of industrializationD. solve virtually allexisting problems69.Why did many American scholars bee enthusiastic about humanistic studies after WorldWarⅡ?A. They wanted to improve their own status within the current education system.B. They believed the stability of a society depended heavily on humanistic studies.C. They could get financial support from various foundations for humanistic studies.D. They realized science and technology alone were no guarantee for a better world.70.Why are American scholars worried about education today?A. America is lagging behind in the STEM disciplines.B. Some Asian countries have overtaken America in basic sciences.C. The STEM subjects are too challenging for students to learn.D. There are not enough scholars in humanistic studies.71.Why does the author attach so much importance to humanistic studies?A. They promote the development of science and technology.B. Humanistic thinking helps define our culture and values.C. They help prepare students for their professional careers.D. Humanistic thinking help s cultivate students’ creativity.(C)At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants good or bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus (共识) among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small increase to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a difference between the views of immigrants' impact on the economy and the reality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the concern that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what's going on, consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers –meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer most from the petition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9% between 1980 and xx.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal (财政的) burden of immigration. That conclusion was supported by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which prevented immigrants' access to certain benefits.The irony (讽刺) is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected –say, low-skilled workers, or California residents –the impact isn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.72.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Whether immigrants are good or bad for the economy has been puzzling economists.B. The American economy used to thrive on immigration but now it's a different story.C. The consensus among economists is that immigration should not be encouraged.D. The general public thinks differently from most economists on the impact ofimmigration.73.Why do native low-skilled workers suffer most from illegal immigration?A. They have greater difficulty getting welfare support.B. They have a harder time getting a job with decent pay.C. They are more likely to suffer conflicts between races.D.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. _____European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning them into “stars” by putting them in unusual situations. “Big Brother” (created in Holland) was one of the first. A group of people were locked in a small house with cameras running 24 hours a day. It was called a “watch and dial”show because viewers vote by telephone to decide who should leave or stay.77. _____“Big Brother”was probably the first of the new reality shows, but such a programme has developed. Many have found appeal by having a theme to them, but most are based on the principle of “survival of the fittest” by eliminating participants as the series progresses. So we have the dating shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio. Then there are those that test people’s abilities for specific jobs like running a kitchen, being an interior designer or a top model.78. _____Critics say these programmes are basically bad television, but people watch them. So why are there so many of them? For the viewer it’s an opportunity to “people watch”. It’s natural to like watching other people. They’re interesting. We can imagine what we would do in that situation. We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week. And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people. Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they can’t look back. But with television, we can watch in the privacy of our own homes. We watch, but we don’t have to admit it to anyone.79. _____The TV panies like reality shows because they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like. The last “Big Brother”in Britain attracted enormous advertising revenue (收入). They aren’t dependent on “star” actors with enormous salaries. And your actors won’t go on strike. And why do people participate in them? Well, for fame and money of course. In the past, appearing on television wasn’t for ordinary people. You had to be good at something, like sport, or reading the news, or acting. But not any more.80. _____It seems that most shows do well at the beginning but then the viewing figures begin to fall. And it varies from country to country too. For example, one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father, and another had a family arguing over an inheritance (遗产). Both were cancelled after one episode. Perhaps the novelty has worn off. Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much more to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have bee more critical. Reality shows will probably survive—it’s just no longer so easy to make a successful one.Section D (8’)（写在答题纸上）Directions: Read the passages carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Most young boys are trained to believe that men should be strong, tough, and cool. Thus, they learn early to hide such emotions as love, joy, and sadness because they believe that such feelings imply weakness. Over time, some men bee strangers to their own emotional lives. It seems that men with these traditional views are more likely to hold back outward emotions and to fear emotions, supposedly because such feelings may lead to a loss of calmness. Keep in mind, however, that this view is challenged by some researchers. As with many gender(性别) gaps, differences in emotionality tend to be small, inconsistent, and dependent on the situation. For instance, Robertson and colleagues found that males who were more traditionally masculine(有男子气概的) were more emotionally expressive in a structured exercise than when they were simply asked to talk about their emotions.Males’ difficulty with “tender” emotions has serious consequences. First, emotions held back can contribute to stress-related disorders. And worse, men are less likely than women to seek help from health professionals. Second, men’s emotional inexpressiveness can cause problems in their relationships with partners and children. For example, men with traditional masculine norms report lower relationship satisfaction, as do their female partners. Further, children whose fathers are warm, loving, and accepting toward them have higher self pride and lower rates of aggression and behavior problems. On a positive note, fathers are increasingly involving themselves with their children. And 30 percent of fathers report that they take equal or greater responsibility for their children than their working wives do.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS.) 81.Most young boys have been trained to believe that men who show tender feelings areconsidered to be ______________.82.Some men believe that if they expressed their emotions openly they might______________.83.According to the author, men who hold back their emotions may develop ______________.84.Men who observe traditional masculine norms are said to gain less satisfaction from______________.第II 卷（共45分）I.
