1、2009年浙江大学二外英语考研真题试卷及答案解析(总分：154.00，做题时间：90 分钟)1.Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.（分数：10.00）_Whether the eyes are “the windows of the soul“ is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a

2、 fact. During the first two months of a baby“ s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the

3、face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby matures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, wher

4、e babies are carried on their mother“ s back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other countries. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode or decode meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the “ proper place to focus one“ s gaze during a co

5、nversation in Japan is on the neck of one“ s conversation partner. “ The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined; speakers make contact with the eyes of their listeners for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establ

6、ish eye contact with the listeners or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important they be looking at the speaker at

7、 the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversatio

8、nal flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses; there may be a sort a of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.（分数：10.00）(1).The author is convinced that the eyes are_.（分数：2.00）A.of extreme importance in expressing feelings and excha

9、nging ideasB.something through which one can see a person“ s inner worldC.of considerable significance in making conversations interestingD.something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate(2).Babies will not be stimulated to smile by a person_.（分数：2.00）A.whose front view is fully perc

She called it “the ultimate non-diet book“ and offered no advice on counting calories, or f

14、at grams. Instead, the simple message was this: Eat three meals a day, keep the portions small, use lots of seasonal fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, savor wine, walk everywhere and allow yourself occasional treats. She says her advice is “ not a quick fix. These are changes you have to

15、 make in your life, and you don“ t have to be French to do it. “ Guiliano says some of her Parisian friends were angry with her for giving away their secrets for remaining svelte. But she wants others to discover the pleasures of eating and cooking so that they too can be Slender. She knows what it

16、feels like to be overweight. She gained 20 pounds in her teens when she was an exchange student in the USA. After she returned home, her doctor encouraged her to go back to the traditional French way of living. When she did, her weight melted off without dieting and with little effort. She has kept

17、it off for 30 years. In her view, too many people around the world are eating carelessly.

We have crazy lives-rush, rush, rush

18、. We are surrounded with food everywhere,“ Guiliano says. There“ s a payoff to eating more mindfully. One female reader lost 10 pounds after she began sitting down for her meals, eating more slowly, focusing, chewing well and savoring her food, Guiliano says. It“ s easier to eat healthfully if you c

19、ook at home, she says. But cooking is a casualty of this time-pressed society, and many Americans aren“ t comfortable in the kitchen, she says. “ In France, cooking is an act of love, and it“ s very sensual. People here see cooking as a chore. For me, cooking is relaxing. “ Still, as an executive wi

20、th a busy schedule, she doesn“ t want to spend two hours preparing a meal. “You can make a delicious meal in 30 minutes. “ Good recipes don“t have to have “25 ingredients , use four pieces of equipment and take three hours to make,“ she says. It“ s a matter of planning and organizing. The key is to

42、n has also been greater than that a-vailable for men.
