Unit 3 Inventors and inventions一、閱讀理解。Angry men appear to gain influence in a group,but angry women lose influence,according to a new study.Researchers from Arizona State University(ASU)published their findings in the journal Law and Human Behavior.Jessica Salerno is a psychologist and was co­author of the study.The findings suggest that“women might not have the same opportunity for influence when they express anger”. The study found that when men expressed their opinion with anger,participants rated them as more believable.But when women expressed anger,they were viewed as more emotional and,thus,less convincing.In other words,a man could benefit from using anger in power and persuasion.A woman,however,could be ignored or hurt by her group if she expressed anger. The study was based on the responses of 210 students.They were shown evidence and photographs online from a real murder trial.A man was said to have murdered his wife.The students were asked to decide if the man was guilty or not.Before making their decision,the students discussed the case online with five jurors(陪審員).But these were not real jurors:They were puters making responses and ments back to the students.Some of the fake jurors had male identities. Others had female identities. Some male jurors were angry about the judgment.When this happened,the students reacted by doubting their own decisions about the case.Confidence in their responses on the judgment “dropped obviously,”said the study.But,when female jurors seemed angry,the student participants“became obviously more confident in their original judgments,”the study found. The study could have wider importance.“Our results have implications(啟示)for any woman who is trying to have influence on a decision in their workplace and everyday lives,”said Salerno.She added that in a political debate,a female candidate might have less influence if she shows anger.1.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Powerful Men Must Be Those Who Often Get AngryB.Women,be Careful Not

_(practice) advice on finding a job.答案：practical此處應(yīng)用形容詞修飾其后的名詞advice。practical “實(shí)用的；實(shí)際的；實(shí)踐的”。6We all have an _(expect) that he can pass the driving test next week.答案：expectation由空前的冠詞可知應(yīng)填名詞。7In my opinion, only by facing difficulties bravely and _ (seize) opportunities can one succeed.答案：seizing該句為“only狀語(yǔ)”位于句首引起倒裝的句式。face與seize為and連接的兩個(gè)并列成分，且均作by的賓語(yǔ)，故由facing可知應(yīng)填seizing。8It was not until she got home _ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.答案：that該句為含有not until的強(qiáng)調(diào)句。由該句型“It is/wasnot until .that其他”可知，應(yīng)填that。9She _(tap) me on the shoulder but I didnt feel it.答案：tapped由but連接并列成分可知，設(shè)空處動(dòng)詞在句中作謂語(yǔ)；且后面并列句的謂語(yǔ)為didnt .，所以空格處也應(yīng)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，應(yīng)填tapped。10Prices of daily goods _ (buy) through a puter can be lower than store prices.答案：bought過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)在句中作后置定語(yǔ)修飾goods。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。I am a social worker.I wanted to tell everyone about my very dear friend who
