　　29__________ that women blush more than men，one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30__________ their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as a way to foster trust. " If you were to go hunting 31__________ a stone-faced partner，you could never 32__________ what he wants. “he says.

　　第24题单选 填入(24)处的最佳答案是()。
　　A. on
　　B. in
　　C. at
　　D. of
　　参考答案：C
　　参考解析：at a loss是固定词组，表示茫然。这部分是说，达尔文指出人类会脸红而动物不会的时候也是茫然的，说不出其原因。

　　C. solution
　　D. question

　　第27题单选 填入(27)处的最佳答案是()。
　　A. moods
　　B. senses
　　C. emotions
　　D. tempers
　　参考答案：C
　　参考解析：mood意为“情绪、心情”;sense意为“感官”;emotion意为“情感”;temper意为“脾气”。原文列举了如guilt(愧疚)、shame(羞愧)、embarrassment(尴尬)等感觉。这些显然不属于sense(感官)和temper(脾气)，排除。mood和emotion的区别在于，mood表示就某种事件或某段时间影响下所产生的心情或情绪，emotion表示主观上的下意识的感觉。原文在分析人类脸红的原因，从人类自身的情感着手。因此，这里应是emotion。

　　参考答案：D
　　参考解析：privileged意为“享有特权的”;embarrassment意为“尴尬”;energetic意为“充 满活力的”;attractive意为“有吸引力的”。根据原文空格后的“or socially desirable(社交上更合适)”判断，attractive(有吸引力的)最恰当：人类的脸红可能使 人更具有吸引力或者说社交上更合适。

　　June came and the hay (干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.
　　It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out Of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used

　　It was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents were poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!
　　" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fishermen's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.
　　In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bund for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans, yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates (海盗) . Whatever happened, the secret -- along with a treasure valued near $100,000,000 in today's dollars -- was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.
　　Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.
　　Due to the historic discovery of the treasure, GovM is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, these authentic silver dollars are priced at$49 plus shipping and handling -- a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.
　　第40题单选 What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?
　　A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.
　　B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.
　　C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.
