Although the Trust has received practical and moral support

2、from the government, it is not a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to prote

3、ct places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.The attention of the public was the first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and the castles of Britain by the death of the Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the

6、s some complete villages.

Over 4,000 acres of coastline, woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no develo

7、pment or disturbances of any kind are permitted.

13、all have first impression of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or heraside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?The answer is related to how your brain allows you to he aware of the world. Your brain is

14、so sensitive in picking up facial traits. Even very minor difference in how a persons eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory informationthe sights and sounds of your world. The

15、se incoming signals are compared against a host of “memories“ stored in the brain areas called the cortex (皮质) system to determine what these new signals “mean“.If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe“. If you see someone new, it says, “new and potentially

16、threatening“. Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other “known“ memories. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “This is new, I dont like this person.“ or else, “Im intrigued (好奇的)“. Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes

17、, ethnicity, gestureslike your other friends; so your brain says. “I like this person“. But these preliminary impressions can be dead wrong.When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical

18、impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of peopletheir history, interest, values, strengths, and true characterwe categorize them as jocks (骗子), peeks(反常的人), or freaks(怪人).However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a per

19、son is truly like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the persons character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking-and the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.（分数：25.00）(1).Our first impression of someo

A. past experience B. character C. facial features D. hobbies（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(2).If you meet a stranger with familiar gestures, your brain is most likely to say _. A. “He is familiar and safe.“ B. “He is new and potentially threatening.“ C. “I like this person.

22、epth and breadth B. they are not all jocks, peeks, or freaks C. our thinking is similar to that of a very young child D. our judgment is always wrong（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. Ones physical appearance can influence our first

23、 impression. B. Our first impression is influenced by the sensitivity of our brain. C. Stereotypical impressions can be dead wrong. D. We should adopt mature thinking when getting to know people.（分数：5.00）A.B.C.D.For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the

24、 smell of freshly-baked bread into their stores. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma (香气) consultants, has been approached by Barclays Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell of money“ will encourage them to

25、feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the banks security and professionalism.But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks air conditioning systems, it must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that bank

26、notes and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmongers (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food.It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that th

27、e use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰子) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (自动售货机) that release the

28、smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats.“The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primit

29、ive of all human senses,“ explains researcher Jim ORiordan. “There is a direct pathway from the olfactory (睡觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.“ It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can

30、rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. “Were made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,“ says ORiordan, “Who knows where it will take us.“（分数：25.00）(1).Artificial smells have NOT b

Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catholic “finishing“ schools. There they

35、 learned a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Mariaor her mother.

40、ugh for many years after, there was tension in the family. Marias father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.In 1883, at age thirteen, Maria entered the “Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti“ in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though

41、 the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher.
