Prat I Reading Comprehension （共 20 小题，每小题 2 分，共 40 分）

Directions: There are 4 passage in this part . Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements . For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 based on the following passage .

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings ,but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways .

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns .

Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked . However , “he opened his eyes wide ” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise . In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues ”. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike .

Even in the same culture , people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear ,anger love and happiness on people’s faces . Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do .

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage .

The English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes form the verb “to cop” ( which is also slang ) , meaning “to take”or “to capture” , and the second comes form the first name of Sir Robert Peel , a 19th century politician , who was the founder of the police force as we know it today . An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler” , but this one has died out .

Whatever we may call them , the general opinion of the police seems to be a favorable one , except , of course , among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more derogatory nicknames which originated in America , such as “fuzz” or “pig” . Visitors to England seem to be very impressed by the English police . It has , in fact , because standing joke that the visitor to Britain , when asked for his views of the country , will always say , at some point or other , “I think your policemen are wonderful”.

Well , the British bobby not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character . A music-hall song of some years ago was called “If You Want To Know The Time , Ask A Policeman ” . Nowadays , most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman . In London , the policeman spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else .
