　 1. My husband Christopher was once a financial planner.Even though he couldn’t balance our budget，his clients trusted him completely and he made them feel secure.In exchange they paid him very well.We had a nice life then.At that time，my yoga studio(瑜伽馆)was just starting to make a profit，and I had recently decorated it.At last，I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed. When we first met，I fell hard for Christopher right away,although I wouldn’t call it love.I’d never been with a man who was prettier than I was,but after a while I got used to this，and it didn’t bother me so much.I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on.If it wasn’t love,it was good enough，and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance，knowing that it might be my last. Things started out so well.I was working steadily and Christopher was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department.Then，without any warning，one gray winter afternoon in year five，he just upped and left his desk at the bank，handed in his resignation，and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business. He has always loved mixing and matching，and has a real eye for color,texture，and shape，but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn’t something we had ever discussed.I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of his system.I didn’t believe he could be serious.But once he had a few clients，he began to draw up plans，ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift studio with all of his sketches pinned to the wall.After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation，and really doing quite a nice job of it，he called each client in turn and apologized，saying he wouldn’t be able to design their living spaces after all.

　2. In a quiet，darkened lecture room，you begin a frustrating fight against fatigue.The overhead projector hums，and you cannot concentrate on the slides.You stop absorbing information and become absentminded.The professor lost you a long time ago.You are bored. Virtually everyone gets bored once in a while.Most of us chalk it up to a dull environment.“The most common way to define boredom in Western culture is ‘having nothing to do，’”says psychologist Stephen Vodanovich of the University of West Florida.And indeed，early research into the effects of boredom focused on people forced to perform dull tasks，such as working a factory assembly line. But boredom is not merely an natural property of the circumstances,researchers say.Rather this perception is subjective and rooted in aspects of consciousness.Levels of boredom vary among people：some individuals are far less liable to boredom than others—and some，such as extroverts(性格外向者),are more likely to have this feeling. Thus，a new generation of scientists is coping with the psychological interpretations of this most tedious of human emotions—and they have found that it is more complicated than is commonly known.Researchers say that boredom is not a unified concept but rather comes in several flavors.Level of attention,an aspect of conscious awareness，plays an important role in boredom，such that improving a person’s ability to focus may therefore decrease boredom.Emotional factors can also contribute to boredom.People who are poor in understanding their own feelings an

　those who become sucked in and distracted by their moods are more easily bored，for example. Staying away from tedium is not easy.People who are liable to boredom are more likely to suffer from ills such as depression and drug addiction；they also tend to be socially awkward and poor performers at school or work.

　(1). The purpose of the first paragraph is to. (A). illustrate why people are less able to focus (B). show how boring a lecture in a dark room is (C). tell people how fatigue affects concentration (D). describe a situation where people can get bored 答案：D

　(2). It can be concluded from Para.2 that. (A). doing nothing leads people to get bored easily (B). western people pay little attention to boredom (C). boredom only affects the assembly line worker (D). people are liable to get bored in a dull situation 答案：D

　(3). Researchers hold that boredom results from. (A). natural surroundings (B). various kinds of factors (C). sensitive personalities (D). subjective perceptions 答案：B

　(4). Improvement of people’s ability to focus may. (A). affect their moods (B). distract their minds (C). reduce their boredom (D). increase their depression 答案：C

　(5). The passage mainly involves. (A). effects of boredom on people’s life and work (B). various ways to conquer the feeling of boredom (C). studies of possible reasons why people get bored (D). the importance of scientific research into boredom 答案：C

　3. Storytelling is one of the few human features that are truly universal across culture and through all of known history.Anthropologists find evidence of folktales

　 everywhere in ancient cultures，written in Sanskrit，Latin,Greek,Chinese，Egyptian and Sumerian.People in societies of all types weave stories，from oral storytellers in huntergatherer tribes to the millions of writers bringing out books，television shows and movies.And when a characteristic behavior shows up in so many different societies，researchers pay attention：its roots may tell us something about our evolutionary past.

　 To study storytelling，scientists must first define what constitutes a story,and that can prove tricky.Because there are so many diverse forms,scholars often define story structure，known as narrative，by explaining what it is not.Exposition contrasts with narrative by being a simple，straightforward explanation,such as a list of facts or an encyclopedia entry.Another standard approach defines narrative as a series of causally linked events that unfold over time.A third definition draws on the typical narrative’s subject matter：the interactions of intentional agents—characters with minds—who possess various motivations.

　 However narrative is defined，people know it when they feel it.Whether fiction or nonfiction，a narrative engages its audience through psychological realism—recognizable emotions and believable interactions among characters.

　“Everyone has a natural detector for psychological realism，”says Raymond A.Mar,assistant professor of psychology at York University in Toronto.“We can tell when something rings false.”But the best stories—those retold through generations and translated into other languages—do more than simply present a believable picture.These tales attract their audience，whose emotions can be closely tied to those of the story’s characters.Such immersion(沉浸)is a state psychologists call“narrative transport”.Researchers have only begun figuring out the relations among the variables that can initiate narrative transport.

　(1). The passage indicates that storytelling. (A). is becoming less and less popular in modern societies (B). attracts researchers’attention all through human history (C). is the best way to show the evolutionary past of human beings (D). is a common cultural phenomenon all through the known history 答案：D

　(3). Exposition is characterized by.

　 (4). How many approaches are mentioned to define a narrative? (A). One. (B). Two. (C). Three. (D). Four. 答案：C

　(5). The best stories attract their audience because they. (A). present a believable picture (B). express the audience’s emotions (C). are translated into other languages (D). are retold from generation to generation 答案：B

　七、Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答 案写在答题纸上。

　 1. Everyone agrees that children’s language learning begins with listening.However,individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking,and late starters are often long listeners.Most children will‘obey’spoken instructions some time before they can speak.Before they can speak，many children also ask questions by gestures and noises.It is agreed that they enjoy making noises,and that during the first few months one or two noises are considered as a particular indication of delight，distress，sociability,and so on. But since three noises cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate，they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language.It is agreed，too，that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment，and by six months they are able to add new sounds to their‘speech’.This selfimitation leads on to intentional imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people.Can these imitations be considered as speech? 答案：大家都认同孩子学习语言是从听开始的。不过，各个孩子在开始讲话前听的多少却大不相 同，说话迟的孩子听的时间往往长。大多数孩子在说话前的一段时间都会‘服从’口头指令。许 多孩子在会讲话前还会用某种体势及闹声来提问。人们也同意孩子喜欢发出闹声这一说法，而且 认为在最初几个月，一两声吵闹是快乐、痛苦、友善等的表示。但是因为三声吵闹声还不能说是 孩子想交流，所以还很难被看作是孩子语言的雏形。人们还赞同，三个月左右的孩子以发出各种 声音为乐，到六个月的时候，他们就能在发声时添加新的发音。这种自我模仿将会发展为有意识 地模仿他人的发音和话语。这些模仿能不能被看作是说话呢?
