三、阅读单选

                           （一）

Are you still doing the V sign for victory? It’s out. The latest popular hand gesture is to curl(卷曲) both of your hands and put them together to make a heart shape. Known as “hand heart”, many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber, Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos.

    “The heart-hand gesture means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’,” said the country singer Taylor Swift, “It’s a sweet, simple message which you can send without saying a word.”

    Taylor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts. And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.

    Last month during a charity show, Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident. The gesture became a real hit after that.

    “It used to take longer for nonverbal(非语言的) culture to move. But now, with smart phones and the Internet, it’s much faster,” said Patti Wood, an American language expert(专家).

    In Korea(韩国), the hand heart has been popular for a long time in a different way. People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. It means “I love you.”

41．We usually use the V sign to express “________”.

A．something between “I love you” and “Thank you” B．I love you

C．Thank you D．Victory

42．According to the passage, Taylor Swift has done Gesture ________ in her photos.

A． B． C． D．

43．The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A．Taylor Swift’s concert B．the V sign

C．the car accident D．the charity show

44．Nonverbal culture moves much faster nowadays than before because of ________.

A．superstars B．smart phones and the Internet

C．charity shows D．language experts

45．People in Korea like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms. Picture ________ gives the best description of the gesture.

A． B． C． D．

Body language helps us a lot. Sometimes it may increase your confidence. How should you use your body language properly to make it?

Practice smiling. Smiling not only makes you more popular, but also improves your health. Smiling slows the heart and relaxes the body. It can improve your ability to finish your work. It can also trick you into feeling happy, even when you feel sad.

Pay attention to posture. Good posture is necessary for avoiding back and neck pain, preventing muscle (肌肉) aches, and keeping your bones and joints (关节) in proper shape. Good posture also reflects a confident manner to others. Stand up straight with your shoulders back and your head held high and you will look self-confident.

Have a strong handshake. A strong handshake is a common sign of confidence, and everyone should have one. Whether or not you feel confident a strong handshake will lift your feelings and make others see you as more confident.

Dress for confidence. Dressing confidently is more than being in style. It’s about feeling good and being self-confident in all situations. It’s also about sending the right message to the people you are with. You can gain your confidence about yourself when you dress properly.

Practice eye contact. A proper direct look into others suggests you’re truthful and friendly. It shows a sense of confidence and makes the other person feel more positive (积极的) and connected to you. However, too much of the body language might send the signal you’re unfriendly or maybe even a little strange.

四、阅读还原6选5

阅读下面文字，从A到F的选项中为每个段落选出一个最适合的标题。

The novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) has changed our lives. In many countries, it has also changed the way people greet each other. To help stop the spread of coronavirus, people give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways. Let’s take a look.

____51____ Lean forward (倾身向前), touch faces and make a kissing sound. This is French people’s favorite way of greeting. But when the virus is going around, too many kisses are not good. An expert gives everyone in France a suggestion: simply looking into a person’s eyes can be a greeting. It’s not as romantic as kissing, but it’s safe.

____52____ Like the French, Italians are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight the disease. According to her, if you want to say hello to others, do not hug or kiss. Instead, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink (眨眼). Isn’t it cute?

____53____ It’s a very Australian thing to put your hand out to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now a health official (官员) in Australia says a pat (拍打) on the back would be better. But it also has some problems. For example, it’s a bit impolite if you do this to your teacher. What do you think?

____54____ People in Iran often shake hands when they meet. But a recent video shows that an interesting way to greet others is now popular in Iran. In the video, three Iran men wear masks and put their hands in their pockets. They don’t shake hands, but try to “shake” feet.

____55____ An official from WHO suggested that we use three greetings: waving hands, Thai “wai” (泰式合十礼) and bumping elbows (碰肘礼).

A．Pat on the back.

B．The advice from WHO.

C．Hug and kiss for greeting.

D．No kissing, even if you are French.

E．An Italian grandma has a good idea.

F．Footshake is an interesting way to greet.

例文Dear Mr. Zhou，

How are you? I have been in Australia for a week. I come here to visit my uncle and spend the summer holiday. Just as I thought, I have some difficulties in understanding the people here. They speak too quickly. Sometimes I can’t follow them. And their accents are not the same. Even worse, I can’t understand some of the words they said. I really want to know how the differences come about. Please write to me soon.

Best wishes to you and your family.

Yours，
