Ⅴ.阅读理解
We all have our own idea of what the perfect smile should look like, whether we show a mouthful of teeth or keep our lips closed and turned up at the corners. When we think of a perfect smile, we often picture someone grinning, with all of his teeth showing. But based on new findings, less is actually more. Nathaniel Helwig and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota discovered that a successful, genuine smile actually rests less on showing teeth and more on facial balance and symmetry(对称).
For the study, researchers looked at 3-D computer-animated facial models of more than 800 participants. The computer-animated facial models went through a series of facial transformations, with researchers changing the mouth angle, amount of teeth shown, and the degree of the smile. Participants were then asked to rate the models’ smiles based on effectiveness, genuineness and pleasantness.
The results of the study found that the most successful smiles had a perfect balance of teeth, an ideal mouth angle, and a smile length that extended to what was called the “sweet spot”. Smiles that showed quick sync(同步) of the left and right side of the face during smiling were also more highly related.
Smiling makes up a good part of our nonverbal communication, making it easier to draw people to you and also makes you seem sincere. It’s also worth noting that a perfect smile could help improve your health too.
(　　)1.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “grinning” in the first paragraph
A.Talking softly.
B.Smiling widely.
C.Chatting cheerfully.
D.Eating healthily.
(　　)2.Which aspect should be considered when rating the smiles in the study
A.How pleasant the smiles make people feel.
B.Whether the smiles improve health.
C.How successful smiling people are.
D.Whether the smiles last long enough.
(　　)3.What makes the perfect smile based on the new study
A.White teeth. B.Smile length.
C.Facial balance. D.Lip corners.
(　　)4.Where does this text probably come from
A.A book review. B.A science report.
C.A biography. D.A travelling guide.

Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了最新的研究表明面部平衡能让我们拥有完美的笑容,一个完美的微笑对我们的健康有积极的影响。
1.B　词义猜测题。根据第一段中“When we think of a perfect smile, we often picture someone grinning, with all of his teeth showing.”可知,当我们想到完美的微笑时,我们经常会想到某人咧嘴大笑,他所有的牙齿都露在外面。由此可知画线词grinning的意思是“露齿而笑”,故选B项。
2.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中“Participants were then asked to rate the models’ smiles based on effectiveness, genuineness and pleasantness.”可知,在评价微笑时应该考虑“微笑到底使人感觉有多愉快”,故选A项。
3.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中第一句“The results of the study found that the most successful smiles had a perfect balance of teeth, an ideal mouth angle, and a smile length that extended to what was called the ‘sweet spot’.”及文章第一段的facial balance可知,研究结果表明,面部平衡能让你拥有完美的笑容,故选C项。
4.B　推理判断题。纵观全文,特别是第二段第一句“For the study, researchers looked at 3-D computer-animated facial models of more than 800 participants.”可知,本文的结论是通过研究报告得到的,所以文章应该是来自一份科学报告,故选B项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一名重病患者采用“微笑疗法”唤醒积极情绪,最后恢复健康的故事。
1.ability　考查名词。他的医生告诉他,他会失去移动的能力。本空在句中作宾语,根据空前定冠词可知应填名词ability。
2.was told　考查动词的时态及语态。他被告知,他存活的可能性为五百分之一。根据空后had可知,本空应用一般过去时,且主语he和动词tell之间是被动关系,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态was told。
3.the　考查冠词。汤姆决心要战胜这种疾病。此处特指Tom所患的疾病,故用定冠词the。
4.who/that　考查定语从句。本空引导定语从句,修饰some doctors,在定语从句中作主语,指人,故应用关系代词who/that。
5.think　考查动词。这些主意使汤姆考虑到了几种积极的情绪可能带来的好处。make sb do sth意为“使/让/叫某人做某事”,故本空应用不带to的不定式think作宾补。
6.emotions　考查名词复数。句意参考上一题。根据空前several可知,本空应用复数形式emotions。
7.to concentrate　考查不定式。他决定把注意力集中在积极的情绪上,以此来治疗他疾病的一些症状。decide to do sth意为“决定做某事”,故本空应用不定式to concentrate作宾语。
8.for　考查介词。他每天都安排时间看喜剧电影,读幽默书,以及做其他能激发积极情绪的活动。arrange sth for…意为“为……而安排……”,故本空应用介词for。
9.doing　考查动名词。本空与上文的watching和reading并列,故本空应填动名词doing。
10.easily　考查副词。在开始“笑疗法”计划的8天后,他的疼痛开始减轻,并能更容易入睡。本空修饰动词sleep,故用副词easily。
