新題型篇
41. C Eye contact can be a friendly social signal
解析：同義復現(xiàn)。該篇首段主要對眼神對視進行整體介紹，首句為該段的主題句“In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way.”意為：在社交場合，和別人的眼神交流可以表明你在友好地關(guān)注對方。所以小標題應該是對該句話的總結(jié)，關(guān)鍵詞friendly，直接作為定位詞確定C 選項，即眼神交流是一種友好的社交信號。
42. E Biological factors behind eye contact are being investigated
解析：主題句概括。該段首句確定主題句“Neuroscientist Bonnie Augeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer during a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded.”即神經(jīng)學家Bonnie Augeung發(fā)現(xiàn)，在一次簡短的面試中，當被試者的目光方向被記錄下來時，催產(chǎn)素會增加被試者對采訪者的目光接觸。其中提到“hormone oxytocin”表示催產(chǎn)素，即化學因素，從而確定E選項“人們正在研究眼神接觸背后的生物因素”為正確選項。
43. G Eye contact can also be aggressive.
解析：總分結(jié)構(gòu)理解。英語文章往往采取總分結(jié)構(gòu)，即如果首句主題句不理解，可以通過后文輔助理解。第三段主要談論到“eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages”即眼神交流可以傳達不同的信息，緊接著進一步闡釋眼神交流可以是“a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations在友好的情況下表示聯(lián)系或信任”也更可以是“dominance or intimidation in adversarial situations 在敵對情況下的支配或恐嚇。”所以我們可以確定首段提到的眼神交流是一種友好社交信號之外，還可以是aggressive侵略性的，咄咄逼人的，即G為確定答案。
44. A Eye fixactions are brief
解析：總分結(jié)構(gòu)理解。第四段首句“When we look at a face or a picture, our eyes pause on one spot at a time, often on the eyes or mouth.”即當我們看著一張臉或一幅畫時，我們的眼睛會一次停留在一個點上，通常是在眼睛或嘴巴上。如果只是單純看第一句話還不是很確定該段的主題句是什么，但英語短文往往是總分結(jié)構(gòu)，所以需要再往后看一下，從而有助于我們理解，后一句提到“These pauses typically occur at about three per second”即這些停頓通常以每秒三次的速度出現(xiàn)，three per second從而確定眼睛注視的時間很短，從而確定主題句核心即A選項正確。
45. D Personality can affect how a person reacts to eye contact
解析：同義復現(xiàn)。第五段首句“In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance”提到在神經(jīng)質(zhì)測試中得分高的人，目光接觸會引發(fā)更多與回避有關(guān)的活動。神經(jīng)質(zhì)是一種與自我意識和焦慮有關(guān)的人格維度。也就是說神經(jīng)質(zhì)會影響眼神接觸，神經(jīng)質(zhì)是一種人格，從而確定D選項正確。除此之外，還可以通過同義復現(xiàn)的技巧來判斷，personality作為主題句的關(guān)鍵詞直接確定D選項。
