Part 3 Reading and Writing

Ⅵ. Reading comprehension

A．Choose the best answer （12分）

IN English, when someone is very angry we say this person “sees red”, like a bull goes wild after seeing a red cloth. Now it turns out that “seeing red” is not just an expression for angry people, but also a scientific fact.

Researchers at North Dakota State University in the US found that there is a connection between the color red and anger. Angry people really do “see red” where others don’t. And a preference for red over blue may even suggest a more hostile personality.

The study includes a number of experiments. In the first, researchers asked a group of people which color they preferred, red or blue. Participants (参加者) then did personality tests. Results showed that those who chose red tended to be more hostile.

During a second test, participants looked at faded images that could be regarded either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the personality test.

“Hostile people have hostile thoughts; hostile thoughts are connected with the color red, and therefore hostile people see this color more frequently,” the researchers told The Independent.

Finally, the participants were told about imaginary situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would harm another person than those who preferred blue.

“An important message from this research is that color can send psychological (心理的) meaning,” the researchers said.

Where does this connection between the color red and anger come from? Scientists said it might be a matter of evolution (进化). In ancient times, poisonous plants and insects could cause wounds and bleeding. So it may have become instinctive (本能的) for people to link the color red with danger and threats.

D. Answer the question （12分）

New high school students in the US have more to worry about than their test. Often, high school are up to 10 times larger than middle schools. Students become small fish in a very, very big pond.

In the past, American kids knew that high school would bring bullying from elder students. Young students felt lonely and confused.

Nowadays, things are improving. Schools are creating "teams”to make students feel welcome. A team is smaller, friendlier, and easier to become a part of than the school as a whole.

Teams are made up of a few students from each grade level. Teachers choose team leaders to act as role models. Within a team older students protect and advise the younger students, who will do the same for the later. The teams stay together for all four years of school. Some teams even create their own flags!

Students meet on campus before school starts at “orientation”(新生训练). At orientation, students get to know the members of their team. Orientation may go on for as long as one week. During orientation, experts guide students through “trust games”. In one popular game, a student is blindfolded(蒙起眼睛的) and led by a partner through some obstacles(障碍物). In scavenger-hunt(寻物) type games, students have to find out the interests and hobbies of their teammates. These activities help students to get close to each other. Students can go to their team members' questions, problems and even friendship. This way, high school doesn't seem quite so scary.

88. High schools are up to 10 times larger than middle schools, aren't they?

89. How did young high school students feel in the past?

90. What is a team made up of?

91. How long may an orientation last?
