阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
　　What brings a nation together? Of the four choices—shared values, language, history, and religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll(民意调查), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked. Still, history was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people. The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice.




Respect your elders
　　In most countries, the oldest generation considered values more important to a nation than those who are under 45 years old did.
Do you speak Canadian?
　　Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps because the country speaks two official languages, French and English.
Church and state
　　Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries—with France scoring it at 1%, the lowest of all.

21. According to the poll, what was the most important factor in bringing a nation together?
A. Values. B. History.
C. Religion. D. Language.

答案:A
22. In which country did language score the lowest in their national pride?
A. France. B. Canada.
C. Mexico. D. America.
解析:细节理解题。根据表格“Do you speak Canadian?”中的“Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled ...”可知加拿大在该项中得分最低。
答案:B
23. In which country shared values and language were considered equally important?
A. Brazil. B. China.
C. India. D. Australia.
解析:推理判断题。通过列出的图表可以判断出印度在“shared values”和“shared language”上的百分比都是32%。
答案:C
B
The way that people sit in chairs isn’t the same. If you’re sitting with arms and legs hanging freely, it’s probably a sign that you’re relaxed and feeling comfortable. If you stay on the edge of the chair with your legs stretched before you and your feet crossed, it can signal unconcern.
　　In a country where rules of behaviour in court were very strict, a witness sat as described above, with his huge boots placed on top of each other, wearing a big coat and with his arms crossed. The judge said, “Sit up straight and take your coat off, or I’ll hold you in contempt(藐视法庭).” The man got his posture straightened up immediately.
　　Someone waiting for a job interview might be seated on the edge of the chair with his or her feet together. If it’s a woman she’ll probably be hugging her handbag. Body tension forces your breathing system and makes you sound short of breath. When you’re in such a position it’s easy to lose your head and simply run away if things take a turn for the worse.
　　On television it’s interesting to watch people on quiz shows like “Who wants to be a millionaire”. You can notice their understandable tension from the way they hold their hands till their knuckles(指关节) turn white and also from their quickened breathing.
　　We don’t believe that you can teach people to control their body language completely; they’ll lose control at some point or other—when they become too eager or too angry. Take a discussion between politicians, for example. The control is there, even when they get angry but there will be a small muscle by the mouth that is shaking. Cheeks turn red in women who are angry while men’s ears often turn red when they are angry.
24. Why did the judge warn the witness in the first example?
A. The judge was too strict.
B. The witness was against the law.
C. The judge was only nervous.
D. The witness didn’t respect the court.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The judge said, ‘Sit up straight and take your coat off, or I’ll hold you in contempt.’”可知答案。
答案:D
25. Which of the following postures show that one is nervous in a job interview?
a. Crossing one’s arms.
b. Sitting with one’s feet together.
c. Hugging one’s handbag.
d. Sitting straight.
A. a,b B. b,c
C. a,c D. b,d
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段可知,一个人在面试时感到紧张会双脚并拢而坐或紧抱手提包。
答案:B
26. Why do some people’s knuckles turn white on television quiz shows?
A. They hold their hands too tightly.
B. They are quickening their breathing.
C. They are celebrating their success.
D. They become more and more relaxed.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“You can notice their understandable tension from the way they hold their hands till their knuckles turn white ...”可知,指关节变白的原因是手握得太紧。
答案:A
27. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Body language can’t be controlled completely.
B. Your body language may give you away.
C. Anger has different effects on men and women.
D. Politicians can completely control their body language.
解析:段落大意题。该段第一句是主题句,说明肢体语言有时很难完全控制,接着举了政治家的例子进行说明,故选A项。
答案:A
C
Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalise(概括) about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
28. What does the smile usually mean in the US?
A. Joy. B. Love.
C. Politeness. D. Thankfulness.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中“For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.”可知,在美国微笑通常意味着高兴。
答案:A
29. Why does the author mention the smile of the Vietnamese?
A. To prove smiling can show personal habits.
B. To show smiling can be used in wrong places.
C. To demonstrate a smile can hide true feelings.
D. To demonstrate a smile can show friendliness to strangers.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中“In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.”可知,作者列举越南人的例子是用来证明微笑可以用来掩饰内心真实的感受。
答案:C
30. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?
A. Figure out what they will do next.
B. Find out about their past experience.
C. Learn about their relations with others.
D. Understand their cultural backgrounds.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在不同的文化中微笑的含义是不同的。由此推断出在试图“读懂”别人时,先要了解其文化背景。
答案:D
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Cultural Differences
B. Habits and Emotions
C. Facial Expressions
D. Smiles and Relationships
解析:标题归纳题。本文阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式,以及文化差异导致的面部表情的含义不同,故选C项。
答案:C
D
　　I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Just take them in. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.
When we interrupt(打断) what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief of having someone just listen.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾), until I realised that passing a person a piece of tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the well-intentioned(出于好心的) words.
32. What does the author value most in the communication with each other?
A. Doing nothing.
B. Deep understanding.
C. Saying “I’m very sorry”.
D. Attention from the heart.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中“Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it’s given from the heart.”可知,作者最重视交流中来自心灵深处的关注。
答案:D
33. What will happen if you interrupt someone who is saying?
A. He might stop and listen to you.
B. He must be very angry with you.
C. He thinks you are too rude.
D. He thinks you don’t care about him.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“... we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.”可知,如果你打断某人说话,其实是把注意力移向你自己,让说话人觉得你并不在意他。
答案:D
34. What was the author’s purpose by passing a piece of tissue to someone?
A. To stop him from crying.
B. To advise him to have a rest.
C. To help him to accept the sadness.
D. To stop him from saying anything.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中“... I realised that passing a person a piece of tissue may be just another way to shut them down ...”可推知,作者是想让对方停止哭泣。
答案:A
35. What can we learn from the text?
A. Keeping silent means being too shy to speak.
B. Forming the habit of listening silently is easy.
C. Listening is a perfect way to respond to others.
D. People keep silent because they don’t know the answer.
解析:推理判断题。全文主要论述了倾听的重要性,倾听是回应别人最好的方式,故选C项。
答案:C
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words. We talk with our mouths, but we communicate with our facial expressions, our tone of voice and our whole body.
36. When we can read what others are saying unconsciously(潜意识地), we can deal with things at work and at home before they become problems.
By understanding how to use body language, you can communicate more effectively. Here is how:
▲37. Throughout the day, notice details about the way you speak, gesture and move. When standing, keep your shoulders straight, your body open and your weight balanced on both feet.
▲ Work on your handshake. 38. The handshake most likely to show confidence is firm and dry, with strength but not too much pressure.
▲ Use eye contact. Eye contact is very important in forming an impression of someone. You should have the ability to keep direct eye contact if you want to be taken seriously. But some people feel uncomfortable when it is too strong. 39.
▲ Be yourself. Non-verbal messages come from deep inside you, from your own sense of self-respect. If you are comfortable with yourself, it shows. 40. They always give others a deep impression.

A. Use hand gestures carefully.
B. Pay attention to your body talk.
C. A mirror can be useful to examine facial expressions.
D. People who know who they are have a relaxed way of talking and moving.
E. In the business world, the handshake shows important messages about power.
F. Understanding body language is one of the most useful skills you can develop.
G. To avoid this problem, change your focus so that you look at somewhere between the eyes and the chin.
答案:36. F　37. B　38. E　39. G　40. D

The following term, I 　52　 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 　53　. I soon realised that the silence was not unpleasant. Instead, if there had been any talking, it would have 　54　 us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 　55　 way of communication it opens.

(2)可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案:
　　Not everyone is aware that our body language gives away much about ourselves. However, our communication involves body language, which varies from culture to culture. Therefore, we should know what is important when dealing with others. For example, when listening to others, make sure you nod slightly once in a while to show you are interested. Besides, it is rude to stare at others too long.
　　If you know about basic body language, you will be less likely to offend others.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　It was an Art lesson. Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do Art!
　　Rachel sighed(叹气) and reached out to dip her brush in some black paints and—oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face. She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache(胡子). Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor.
How awkward she was! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow(肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but mum would rather wait for dad. Rachel sighed. She understood mum was afraid she would spill it.
“But would you go to Mrs Willow for some cold medicine?” asked mum. Rachel turned to the door at once. “But Rachel, Mrs Willow’s house is full of beautiful things, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out.
　　Mrs Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why mum had been worried.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
There were beautiful things everywhere—pretty china figures and expensive vases._____________________________________________

Paragraph 2:
　　With a smile Mrs Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案:
Paragraph 1:
　　There were beautiful things everywhere—pretty china figures and expensive vases. Rachel stood very still, afraid of knocking something over. Mrs Willow handed Rachel a small brown bottle. Rachel couldn’t wait to get away, feeling any minute there would be a disaster. She thanked Mrs Willow and turned to the door when something brushed against her leg. Rachel was so surprised that she jumped backwards. It was a cat! But her elbow hit a vase and it fell to the floor, broken. How awkward!  
Paragraph 2:
　　With a smile Mrs Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. Rachel sighed and stared at her. “Don’t worry. It’ll be perfect after being mended,” Mrs Willow said, her sharp blue eyes shining. “Nobody grows up without being awkward.” Rachel let out a long sigh and for the first time she felt so good about her clumsiness. She believed what Mrs Willow said must have the same magic as her special cold medicine. To her amazement, she returned home with the bottle of medicine safe and sound.
