It was a relief to Framton Nuttel when the aunt bustled into the room with a whi

17、rl of apologies for being late in making her appearance.“I hope Vera has been amusing you?“ she said.“She has been very interesting,“ said Framton.“I hope you dont mind the open window,“ said Mrs. Sappleton briskly. “My husband and brothers will be home directly from shooting, and they always come i

18、n this way. Theyve been out for snipe in the marshes today, so theyll make a fine mess over my poor carpets. So like you menfolk, isnt it?“She rattled on cheerfully about the shooting and the scarcity of birds, and the prospects for duck in the winter. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made

19、a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less ghastly topic; he was conscious that his hostess was giving him only a fragment of her attention, and her eyes were constantly straying past him to the open window and the lawn beyond. It was certainly an unfortunate coin

20、cidence that he should have paid his visit on this tragic anniversary.“The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, an absence of mental excitement, and avoidance of anything in the nature of violent physical exercise,“ announced Framton, who laboured under the tolerably widespread delusion that

21、total strangers and chance acquaintances are hungry for the least detail of ones infirmities, their cause and cure. “On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement,“ he continued.“No?“ said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. Then she suddenly brightene

22、d into alert attention-but not to what Framton was saying.“Here they are at last!“ she cried. “Just in time for tea, and dont they look as if they were muddy up to the eyes!“Framton shivered slightly and turned towards the niece with a look intended to convey sympathetic comprehension. The child was

23、 staring out through the open window with a dazed horror in her eyes. In a chill shock of nameless fear Framton swung round in his seat and looked in the same direction.In the deepening twilight three figures were walking across the lawn towards the window, they all carried guns under their arms, an

24、d one of them was additionally burdened with a white coat hung over his shoulders. A tired brown spaniel kept close at their heels. Noiselessly they neared the house, and then a hoarse young voice chanted out of the dusk: “I said, Bertie, why do you bound?“Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat

25、; the hall door, the gravel drive, and the from gate were dimly noted stages in his headlong retreat. A cyclist coming along the road had to run into the hedge to avoid imminent collision.“Here we are, my dear,“ said the bearer of the white mackintosh, coming in through the window, “fairly muddy, bu

26、t most of its dry. Who was that who bolted out as we came up?“A most extraordinary man, a Mr. Nuttel,“ said Mrs. Sappleton, “could only talk about his illnesses, and dashed off without a word of goodbye or apology when you arrived. One would think he had seen a ghost.“I expect it was the spaniel,“ s

27、aid the niece calmly. “He told me he had a horror of dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him. Enough to make anyone lose

30、ered from a severe mental illness.C.he was afraid of the brown spaniel.D.he was horrified by the three men.七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Long-married couples often schedule a weekly “date night“a regular evening out with friends or at a favorite restaurant to strengthen their marital bond.But brain and beh

31、avior researchers say many couples are going about date night all wrong. Simply spending quality time together is probably not enough to prevent a relationship from getting stale.Using laboratory studies, real-world experiments and even brain-scan data, scientists can now offer long-married couples

32、a simple prescription for rekindling the romantic love that brought them together in the first place. The solution? Reinventing date night.Rather than visiting the same familiar haunts and dining with the same old friends, couples need to tailor their date nights around new and different activities

33、that they both enjoy, says Arthur Aron, a professor of social psychology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The goal is to find ways to keep injecting novelty into the relationship. The activity can be as simple as trying a new restaurant or something a little more unusual or thrill

34、inglike taking an art class or going to an amusement park.The theory is based on brain science. New experiences activate the brains reward system, flooding it with dopamine and norepinephrine. These are the same brain circuits that are ignited in early romantic love, a time of exhilaration and obses

35、sive thoughts about a new partner. (They are also the brain chemicals involved in drug addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder.)Most studies of love and marriage show that the decline of romantic love over time is inevitable. The butterflies of early romance quickly flutter away and are replaced

36、 by familiar, predictable feelings of long-term attachment.But several experiments show that noveltysimply doing new things together as a couplemay help bring the butterflies back, recreating the chemical surges of early courtship.Over the past several years, Dr. Aron and his colleagues have tested

37、the novelty theory in a series of experiments with long-married couples.In one of the earliest studies, the researchers recruited 53 middle-aged couples. Using standard questionnaires, the researchers measured the couples relationship quality and then randomly assigned them to one of three groups.On

38、e group was instructed to spend 90 minutes a week doing pleasant and familiar activities, like dining out or going to a movie. Couples in another group were instructed to spend 90 minutes a week on “exciting“ activities that appealed to both husband and wife. Those couples did things they didnt typi

39、cally doattending concerts or plays, skiing, hiking and dancing. The third group was not assigned any particular activity.After 10 weeks, the couples again took tests to gauge the quality of their relationships. Those who had undertaken the “exciting“ date nights showed a significantly greater incre

40、ase in marital satisfaction than the “pleasant“ date night group.While the results were compelling, they werent conclusive. The experiment didnt occur in a controlled setting, and numerous variables could have affected the final results.More recently, Dr. Aron and colleagues have created laboratory

41、experiments to test the effects of novelty on marriage. In one set of experiments, some couples are assigned a mundane task that involves simply walking back and forth across a room. Other couples, however, take part in a more challenging exercisetheir wrists and ankles are bound together as they cr

42、awl back and forth pushing a ball.Before and after the exercise, the couples were asked things like, “How bored are you with your current relationship?“ The couples who took part in the more challenging and novel activity showed bigger increases in love and satisfaction scores, while couples perform

43、ing the mundane task showed no meaningful changes.Dr. Aron cautions that novelty alone is probably not enough to save a marriage in crisis. But for couples who have a reasonably good but slightly dull relationship, novelty may help reignite old sparks.And recent brain-scan studies show that romantic

44、 love really can last years into a marriage. Last week, at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology conference in Albuquerque, researchers presented brain-scan data on several men and women who had been married for 10 or more years. Interviews and questionnaires suggested they were still in

45、tensely in love with their partners. Brain scans confirmed it, showing increased brain activity associated with romantic love when the subjects saw pictures of their spouses.Its not clear why some couples are able to maintain romantic intensity even after years together. But the scientists believe r

46、egular injections of novelty and excitement most likely play a role.（分数：5.00）(1).Acconding to the passage, which is the right way for long-married couples to have a date night?（分数：1.00）A.To find their friends to chat in a cafe.B.To have a walk and talk about their future plans.C.To take a training c

47、lass together.D.To go to see a movie they, both enjoy.(2).The application of the novelty theory is NOT affected by（分数：1.00）A.brains reward system.B.brain chemicals.C.a couples present relationship.D.the means of experiments.(3).The word “mundane“ in Paragraph 12 means（分数：1.00）A.original.B.ordinary.C

48、.imaginative.D.novel.(4).In Dr. Arons early experiment,（分数：1.00）A.he gave a very systematic and conclusive experiment.B.he used brain scan to help him.C.he gained a relatively satisfactory result.D.he proves novelty can save an unsuccessful marriage.(5).Which of the following is NOT true about the n

49、ovelty theory?（分数：1.00）A.It provides a way for long-married couples to improve their relationship.B.It helps to explain why some couples passion for each other can last long.C.It is the result of many means of scientific experiments.D.It reveals that some couples are doing wrong when they date.八、TEXT C(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Jonas Frisen
