新题型篇
41. C Eye contact can be a friendly social signal
解析：同义复现。该篇首段主要对眼神对视进行整体介绍，首句为该段的主题句“In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way.”意为：在社交场合，和别人的眼神交流可以表明你在友好地关注对方。所以小标题应该是对该句话的总结，关键词friendly，直接作为定位词确定C 选项，即眼神交流是一种友好的社交信号。
42. E Biological factors behind eye contact are being investigated
解析：主题句概括。该段首句确定主题句“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.”即神经学家Bonnie Augeung发现，在一次简短的面试中，当被试者的目光方向被记录下来时，催产素会增加被试者对采访者的目光接触。其中提到“hormone oxytocin”表示催产素，即化学因素，从而确定E选项“人们正在研究眼神接触背后的生物因素”为正确选项。
43. G Eye contact can also be aggressive.
解析：总分结构理解。英语文章往往采取总分结构，即如果首句主题句不理解，可以通过后文辅助理解。第三段主要谈论到“eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages”即眼神交流可以传达不同的信息，紧接着进一步阐释眼神交流可以是“a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations在友好的情况下表示联系或信任”也更可以是“dominance or intimidation in adversarial situations 在敌对情况下的支配或恐吓。”所以我们可以确定首段提到的眼神交流是一种友好社交信号之外，还可以是aggressive侵略性的，咄咄逼人的，即G为确定答案。
44. A Eye fixactions are brief
解析：总分结构理解。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.”即当我们看着一张脸或一幅画时，我们的眼睛会一次停留在一个点上，通常是在眼睛或嘴巴上。如果只是单纯看第一句话还不是很确定该段的主题句是什么，但英语短文往往是总分结构，所以需要再往后看一下，从而有助于我们理解，后一句提到“These pauses typically occur at about three per second”即这些停顿通常以每秒三次的速度出现，three per second从而确定眼睛注视的时间很短，从而确定主题句核心即A选项正确。
45. D Personality can affect how a person reacts to eye contact
解析：同义复现。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”提到在神经质测试中得分高的人，目光接触会引发更多与回避有关的活动。神经质是一种与自我意识和焦虑有关的人格维度。也就是说神经质会影响眼神接触，神经质是一种人格，从而确定D选项正确。除此之外，还可以通过同义复现的技巧来判断，personality作为主题句的关键词直接确定D选项。
