解析
试题分析：文章大意：本文是妈妈写给女儿的一封信。作者回忆了自己小时候的经历，以及给女儿取名字的由来。
小题1:D考查细节理解。根据文章第一段You, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy of other woman’s pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.可知对作者来说1990年6月6日这一天是一个特别的日子，是因为她的母系得到了很好的传承。故D正确。
小题2:B考查推理判断。根据文章第二、三段作者的叙述可知作者母亲迫于无奈，不得不把她送到孤儿院。从作者描写的语气可以判断出对于她的被送走，她是痛苦的但又理解的。故B正确。
小题3:D考查句意理解。根据文章第五段中In a family of blue-eyed blonds, though.和Whether from jealousy or someone who looked so different都可以判断出作者在那些孩子中看起来与其他人不同。故D正确。
小题4:A考查推理判断。根据文章第五段，尤其最后Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community has helped me regain my double identity.可以判断作者过去经历了一次身份危机。故A正确。
小题5:C考查推理判断。根据文章第五、六、七段可知，作者自身经历了身份危机。因此，妈妈给女儿取名“少明”是为了让她女儿避免她小时候的困扰。故C正确。
小题6:B考查句意理解。此句的字面含义为“你的过去比我更完整”。根据此句后句and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years.可以判断妈妈意味着她将给予更多的慈母般的爱和归属感。故B正确。

Situation I
Q: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?
A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn"t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren"t the first person he"s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.
Situation II
Q: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?
A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don"t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.
Situation III
Q: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?
A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.
Situation IV
Q: If I remember my friend"s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?
A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."
Situation V
Q: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?
A: Don"t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it." No explanation is needed as to why you don"t respond.

Let"s say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.
Here"s how it works:
A habit is a 3-step process. First, there"s a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there"s a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It"s what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.
Here"s how to apply it:
Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won"t need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?
小题1:Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?
| A．Pick a new cue. | B．Form a new habit. |
| C．Choose a new reward. | D．Design a new resolution. |
| A．changing the routine | B．trying it for a week |
| C．adjusting your goal | D．writing it down |
| A．To test out different kinds of cues. |
| B．To do something as a habit even without rewards. |
| C．To work out the best New Year"s resolution. |
| D．To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards. |
| A．The Harry Potter poster. |
| B．Reading 30 pages of an English novel. |
| C．An English newspaper. |
| D．Watching TV for half an hour. |
All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting (警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the "night owl" schedule of sleep.
This is opposed to the "early bird" schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as "night owls" and only 10 percent can be classified as "early birds" - the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.
小题1:What docs the author stress in Paragraph I?
| A．Many students are absent from class. |
| B．Students are very tired on Monday mornings. |
| C．Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well. |
| D．Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays. |
| A．Most students prefer to get up late in the morning. |
| B．Students don"t sleep well because of alerting systems. |
| C．One"s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently. |
| D．Adolescents" delayed sleep/wake cycle isn"t the preferred pattern. |
| A．Criticised. | B．Grouped. | C．Organised. | D．Named. |
| A．Functions of the body clock. |
| B．The "night owl" phenomenon. |
| C．Human beings" sleep behaviour. |
| D．The school schedule of "early birds". |
"Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men lend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status," said Professor Ryan.
Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and
our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.
But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship. Professor Ryan"s recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants（参与者）received oxytocin. The other half received placebo (安慰剂).
After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went tlirough the same procedure with the other material.
Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.
The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men"s ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.
Professor Ryan thus concluded: "Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people"s abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal."

| B．To know the differences between friendship and competition. |
| C．To know people"s different abilities to answer questions. |
| D．To test people"s understanding of body language. |
| A．explaining people"s behaviors |
