Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people's behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions Question 55 Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _ A display their emotions openly B conceal their positive emotions C control their emotions D change their behaviour Question 56 The word “evolved” is closest in meaning to _ A increased B reduced C developed D simplified Question 57 The phrase “this evidence” refers to A human facial expressions B the fact that children can control their feelings C a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions D the fact that children are good at recognizing others' emotions Question 58 Young children _ A make amazing progress in controlling their emotions B take time to control their facial expressions C are sensitive towards others' emotions D spend a long time learning to read others' emotions Question 59 According to the passage, we respond to others by _ A watching their actions B observing their looks C observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces Question 60 The biggest difference lies in A how often positive emotions are shown B how emotional responses are controlled C how intensive emotions are expressed D how long negative emotions are displayed Trang 5/6 – Mã đề thi 169 Đề thi thử THPT Quốc gia môn tiếng Anh (Đề minh họa số 1) | mrnsapro@gmail.com (Biên soạn) Question 61 Smiles and frowns A are universal expressions across cultures B are not popular everywhere C not convey the same emotions in various cultures D have different meanings in different cultures Question 62 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of A investigators on universal emotional expressions B researchers on universal language C researchers who can speak and understand many languages D lacked many main ingredients Question 63 The phrase “themselves” refers to A emotions B cultures C children D American Question 64 The best title for the passage is A Ways to control emotional expressions B Cultural universals in emotional expressions C Human habit of displaying emotions D Review of research on emotional expressions II PHẦN TỰ LUẬN (2 điểm) Part I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Question 65: Without your help, I wouldn’t have found the house If you hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have found the house Question 66: Let’s go abroad for our holiday this year Why don’t we go abroad for our holiday this year? _ Question 67: Lan didn’t go to school yesterday because of her sickness Because Lan was sick, she didn’t go to school yesterday Question 68: They report that the gangsters have been arrested by the police The police are reported to have arrested the gangsters Question 69: She has never been to London before This is the first time she has been to London _ Part II In 140 words, write a paragraph about the advantages and disadvantages of watching TV? - THE END - Trang 6/6 – Mã đề thi 169
