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.

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
