Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings,but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language,So does laughter or crying.There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings .Dogs, tigers and humans，for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns

Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or deep shocked, However,” he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues” Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike

Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings,Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear,anger,love and happiness on people’s faces,Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. 1.According to the passage，——B

experiences,which are brought into the present by memory.

Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers. for example, contain devices from storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely to have our views challenged by other members of society.

Face to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advanced imprinting, telecommunications photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the

transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed( 黯然失色) by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to(只限于) a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. For years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modem communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.

17.The development of the communication industry in contemporary society results from ——B A.the advances and revolutions B.the inventiveness and speed C.the art of mass communication D.the advances and speed 18.It is implied in the passage that —— C . A．local news used to be the only source of information B．local news still takes a significant place C．national news is becoming more popular

D．international news is the fastest transmitted news

19.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A A．Public libraries have replaced the private libraries. B．To possess information used to be a privilege C．Communication means more than transmission.

D．Communication influences ways of life and thinking.

20.It can be inferred from the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is ___A___. A.concerned about the wrong use of the mass media B.Happy about the flexible change in the mass media C.Pessimistic about the future of the mass media

D.Indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass med
