you will feel angry toward others’ stare at you that way．Eyes do 41 ,right? Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 42 . But things are different when it comes to staring at the 43 sex．If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and 44 to avert （转移） his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is 45 her. 46, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in a 47 is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is 48 ．If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy．A poor 49 usually exposes himself by looking too long at the 50 ,since he believes the 51 idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of 52 communication．Quite the contrary．
In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to 53 only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show 54 that words cannot express． Evidently,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and 55 situation．

【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一个人应该认识到自己的长处和短处，然后充分发挥自己的长处，对世界作出自己最大的贡献，这就是爱因斯坦放弃当以色列总统而潜心于物理学研究的原因。
1. D 根据前文提到的我们不能做好所有的事，而且有许多事情我们根本就做不了，再结合空格前表示转折意义的But可知，这里应该是指我们每个人都有自己的“天赋(gifts)”。 2．B 此处构成offer sb.sth.搭配，再结合下一个空后的by the offer可知答案。 3．C 尽管他拒绝担任以色列总统，但对此他仍然深受(deeply)感动。 4．A 从and前的平行词saddened可知只有“惭愧的(ashamed)”符合语境。 5．C 这里指缺少“与生俱来的(natural)”的资质(即天赋)，即不适合当总统。 6．B 爱因斯坦认为自己缺乏天赋和经验来行使“官方的(official)”职能。 7．D 指履行总统的职责。fulfill意为“完成，履行”。
8．C 从前文提到的原因可知他“缺少(lack)”必要的政治上的才能。 9．D 知道自己的不足真的会令我们感到“羞耻(shame)”吗？
10．B 知道自己的不足，然后“把精力集中在(focus on)”自己能做好的事情上。 11．A 指我们可能认识到也可能没有“认识到(recognize)”这个道理，即上一段最后两句
提到的道理。
12．D 根据上文可知应该是我们很少有人能成为爱因斯坦，但我们仍然能对生活作出有意义的贡献。
13．A 从上题分析可知，此处contribute to意为“对……有贡献”。
14．B 当我们知道自己能做什么……由于宾语从句we can do缺少宾语且空格处还引导宾语从句，故用what。
15．C 显然我们应该找出自己的长处，做好自己能做的事情。that particular thing指我们发现自己能做的那件事。
【重庆市名校联盟2014联合模拟】
Although man has known asbestos for many hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the North American continent. H. W. Johns, owner of a New York City Supply Shop for roofers, was responsible for the opening of that first mine.
Mr. Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in Italy. He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. How astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all. You can well imagine that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials. However, because it was very expensive to transport them from Italy to the United States, Mr. Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found great vein(岩脉), in the province of Quebec in Canada.
Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. When it is separated, a strange thing happens; the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibers.
Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads, but they
have found thousands of uses of this fireproof material, of the so-called “cloth of stone”.
52. Which title best expresses the main idea of this passage? A. Asbestos mined in Canada C. A “wonder” mineral
B. Fireproof matter D. A new roofing material
53. Johns proved his ability as a salesman by_______.
A. going into roofing business B. carrying asbestos from Italy C. sending a trained scientist
D. showing the use of asbestos gloves
54. Which is the most important character of asbestos that the author wants to show us?
A. It is like thread. C. It burns easily.
B. It feels soapy.
D. It is unusually heavy.
55. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage was to _______.
A. show the need for more scientists B. compare asbestos with other minerals C. increase the sales of asbestos D. present facts about asbestos 【参考答案】52—55、CDAD
