Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify

39、 the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questio ns by marking the corresp onding letter onAn swer Sheet 2 .I Cry, Therefore I AmA）In 2008, at a German zoo, a gorilla （大猩猩）named Gana gave birth

40、to a maleinfant, who died after three mon ths.Photographs of Gana, look ingstricke n andincon solable （伤心欲绝的 ）,attracted crowds to the zoo. Sad as the sce ne was, thehuma ns, not Gana, were the only ones crying. The no ti on that ani mals can weephas no scientific basis. Years of observations by bio

41、logists Dian Fossey, who observed gorillas, and Jane Goodall, who worked with chimpanzees （黑猩猩）,couldnot prove that ani mals cry tears from emoti on.B）Its true that many animals shed tears, especially in responseto pain. Tearsprotect the eye by keep ing it moist. But crying as an expressi on of feel

42、i ng is uniqueto huma ns and has played an esse ntial role in huma n evoluti onand thedevelopme nt of huma n cultures.C）With in two days an infant can imitate sad and happy faces. If an infant does notcry out, it is un likely to get the atte nti on it n eeds to survive. Around 34 mon ths, therelati

43、on shipbetwee nthe huma n infant and its environment takes on a moreorga ni zed muni cativerole, and tearfulcrying begi ns to serve in terpers onalpurposes: the search for fort and pacificati on （抚慰）.As we get older, crying bees atool of social in teract ion:grief and joy, shame and pride, fear an d

44、ma nipulatio n.D）Tears are as uni versal as laughter, and grief is more plex tha n joy. But although weall cry, we do so in differe nt ways.Wome n cry more freque ntly and inten sely tha nmen, especially when exposed to emotionalevents.Like crying,depressionis,around the world, more monly seen in wo

45、men than in men. One explanation might be that wome n, who despite decades of social adva nces still suffer from econo mic in equality, discrim in ati on （歧视）and even viole nee, might have more to cry about.Men not only cry for shorter periods tha n wome n, but they also are less in cli ned to expla

46、 in their tears, usually shed them more quietly, and tend more freque ntly to apologize whe n they cry ope nly. Men, like wome n, report crying at the death of a loved one and in resp onse to a moving religi ons experie nee. They are more likely than womento cry when their core identities-asprovider

47、s and protectors, asfathers and fighters-are questi on ed.E）People who score on pers on ality tests as more sympathetic cry more tha n those who are more rigid or have more self-c on trol. Freque ncy of crying varies widely: some shed tears at any novel or movie, others only a handful of times in th

48、eir lives.Cryi ng in resp onse to stress and con flict i n the home, or after emoti onal trauma （仓 U伤）,lasts much Ion ger tha n tears in duced by everyday sad ness-which in tur n lastIon ger tha n tears of delight and joy.F）Sadness is our primary association with crying, but the fact is that people

49、report feeli ng happier after crying. Surveys estimate that 85% of wome n and 73% of menreport feeling better after shedding tears. Surprisingly, crying is more monly associated with minor forms of depression than with major depression involving suicidal thoughts.G) People widely report that crying

50、relieves tension, restores emoti onal bala nee andprovidescatharsis,a washing out ofbadfeelings. The term catharsis hasreligiousimplications of removing evilandsin; itsno surprise that religiousceremonies are, around the world, one of the main settings for the release of tears.H) Crying is a nearly

51、universalsign of grief, though some mourners report that,despite genuine sorrow, they cannot shed tears-sometimes even for years-aftertheir loved one has gone. Un like today, whe n the privacy of grief is more respected, the public or ceremonial shedding of tears, at the graveside of a spouse or the

52、 fun eral of a king or quee n, was once con sidered socially or even politically esse ntial.I) Crying has also served other social purposes. Rousseau wrote in his Con fessi ons that while he considered tears the most powerful expression of love, he also just liked to cry over no thi ng.J) The associ

53、ation of tears with art has ancient roots. The classic Greek tragedies of the fifth centuryB.C. were primarily celebrations of gods. Tragedies, like poetry andmusic, were staged religionsevents. Even then it was recognizedthat crying inresp onse to drama brought pleasure.K) I have argued that there

54、are neurobiological (神经生物方面的)associationslinking the arts and mood disorders. When I lecture on cryin g, I ask my audie nee tolet me know, by a show of han ds, which art forms most move them to tears. About 80% say music, followed closely by no vels (74%), but the n the figures fall sharply, to 43%,

55、 for poetry, and 10-22% for paintin gs, sculpture and architecture.L) The physical act of crying is mainly one of breath ing in air, which is why we chokeup when we weep. This suggests to Ianguagescientiststhat emotional cryingevolved before Ianguage, perhaps explaining why tears municate states of

56、mind and feelings that are often so difficult to express in words. Of course, from an evolutionaryperspective,recognitionof emotion（usually through facial gesture）was esse ntial for survival.M）The earliest humansarrived several million years ago, but only 150,000 to200,000 years ago, did cultures, l

57、a nguage, religi on and the arts arise. Along the way,tears became more than a biological necessity to lubricate （润滑）the eye and developed into a sign of intense emotion and a signal of social bonding.Thedevelopme ntof self-c on scious nessand the no tio nof in dividualide ntity,or ego;storytelling

58、about the origins of the world, the creation of humanity and life after death; and theability to feel otherssadness-allwere critical parts of then eurobiological cha nges that made us huma nN）More recen tly, weve lear ned from n euroscie nee that certa in brain circuits （回路）are activated （ 激活）,rapid

59、ly and uncon sciously, whe n we see ano ther in emoti onaldistress. In short, our brain evolved circuits to allow us to experienee sympathy, which in tur n made civilizati on, and an ethics based on sympathy, possible. So the next time you reach a tissue box, or sob on a friends shoulder, or shed te

60、ars at the movies, stop and reflect on why we cry and what it means to cry. Because ultimately, while we love to cry, we also cry to love.注意：此局部试题请在答题卡2上作答。46. Nowadays people respect the privacy of grief more than in the past.47. Infants cry to attract attention for survival.48. There is no scienti

61、fic evidenee as yet that animals can shed tears from emotion.49. T ears can perform certa in mun icative functions which words cannot.50. Our ability to experieneesympathy is essential to the development ofcivilizati on.51. People are more inclined to cry when suffering minor forms of depression.52.

62、 Sometimes people cannot cry despite genuine grief.53. In humanslong history, tears have developed an essentialrole in socialrelati on ships.54. Men are less likely to give reas ons for their tears.55. Crying has long bee n associated with art.Sectio n CDirections: There are 2 passages in this secti
