16、。 A A firm handshake is the key to interview success. As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers. A US research looked at 98
17、 undergraduates taking part in mock（模拟）interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their general performance, five “handshake raters（评估人） ” also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact. Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the
18、 study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with “wimpy” shakes were judged to be more timid（胆怯的）and less impressive. The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorab
19、ly than their male counterparts. Professor Stewart said: “Weve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We dont
20、consciously remember a persons handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal（非语言的）clues we get about the persons general personality, and that impression is what we remember.” Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But
21、when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts. Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, as an overenthusiastic “bone crusher” handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personalit
22、y and a lack of reliability. The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons. 31. The passage is probably intended for_. A. job-hunters B. an undergraduate C. employers D
23、. handshake raters 32. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave. B. The undergraduates without a firm handshake are less competitive. C. Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others. HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷

A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake. C. The first few minutes of the interview really counts. D. Job interview
25、success depends on a number of factors. B The house was quiet at 5 am and Tims mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. Hed dreamt of the cave last night. The purring（轻微颤动声） of the freezer had been the sea. Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag.
26、It was too early for breakfast. Hed eat after hed been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwichesbut his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches. Shed want to know wh
27、y he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michaels. Back tonight, Tim. The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasnt up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the
28、sea was fresh and sweet. The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterdays sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly.
29、The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world. Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky. He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The
30、sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He neednt go in all the way. 34. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story? A. He left the
31、 house quietly. B. He had breakfast at home. C. He left a note on the freezer. D. He put a sweater in his schoolbag. 35. “He settled for some biscuits” means that Tim_. A. had to leave the biscuits on the table B. liked biscuits better than sandwiches C. had to take biscuits instead of sandwiches D.
32、 could only find some biscuits in the kitchen 36. What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave? A. The height of the first rocks. B. The ups and downs of the waves. HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 5 C. The change in the position of the sun. D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beac
33、h. 37. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story? A. The sea looked like a piece of gold. B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived. C. Tim was the only person on the beach. D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave. 38. In the story, Tims mood changed from_. A. loneliness to c
34、raziness B. anxiousness to excitement C. helplessness to happiness D. eagerness to nervousness C When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline. I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases “g
35、ood times”in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry. Youve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friend
36、s habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns（模式）. For example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their
37、 same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces. And the effect isnt limited to real-life face-to-face activities. Another study found that the same you- drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words, people were more likely to take
38、a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. At least I dont feel so strange anymore, having picked up on Adam Carollas “good times”. New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible
39、for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. Thats right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same- sex dining companion. As with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. However, the fin
40、ding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly explain eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. The researchers note that “as long as people dont fully recognize such important influences on intake (eating), it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy
41、diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”. 39. The author takes his own example of using “good times” to_. A. express his love for radio shows B. prove the popularity of the show C. show the influence of the hosts words D. introduce the topic of the passage HLLYBQ 整理
