Ⅱ.阅读理解

Most good interviewers will make an effort to establish and keep eye contact. Make sure that you do not find yourself looking down or away. If you wear glasses, be sure to buy the non-glare lenses. Do not stare.

Rapidly nodding your head can leave the impression that you are impatient and too eager to add something to the conversation—if only the interviewer would let you. Slower nodding, on the other hand, emphasizes interest, shows that you are validating(确认) the comments of your interviewer, and encourages him to continue. Tilting(倾斜) the head slightly, when combined with eye contact and a natural smile, shows friendliness and approachability.

Your smile is one of the most powerful positive body signals. Everybody looks better when they smile. Offer an unforced, confident smile. Avoid at all costs the technique that some applicants use: grinning idiotically(白痴般地咧嘴笑) for the length of the interview, no matter what. This will only communicate that you are insincere.

It’s worth remembering that the mouth provides a seemingly limitless supply of opportunities to convey weakness. This may be done by touching the mouth frequently: “faking” a cough when confused with a difficult question; gnawing(咬)on one’s lips absent-mindedly. Employing any of these “insincerity signs” when you are asked about why you lost your last job, will confirm or instill(慢慢灌输) suspicion about your honesty.

(　　)1.The mouth may make your weakness known by 　　　　 according to the passage.  

A.pretending to be coughing

B.having an unforced smile

C.blowing a kiss

D.showing your teeth

(　　)2.The main purpose of this text is to    　　　　.  

A.tell you how to communicate with others effectively

B.show you how to make yourself more understandable

C.remind you of respecting the interviewer

D.give you some advice on facial signals for job interviews

(　　)3.What does the underlined word “suspicion” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Understanding.  

B.Uncertainty.

C.Expression.  

D.Agreement.

(　　)4.Which facial signal can cause you to lose an opportunity of being employed?

A.Gnawing on the lips.

B.A natural smile.

C.Natural eye contact.

D.Touching the mouth occasionally.

Ⅱ.【文章大意】  本文作者给参加面试的人提供了一些关于面部表情的建议。

1.A　细节理解题。A项“假装正在咳嗽”,这是用来掩饰弱点的一种方式,从文中最后一段可以看出。B(从容不迫地微笑)、C(飞吻)、D(露出牙齿)三项不符合题意。选A。

2.D　推理判断题。作者提供了面试中关于面部表情的建议,所以D正确。“如何有效地与他人交流”“如何让别人更能理解自己的意思”“提醒你要尊敬面试官”都不是本文的主要目的。

3.B　词义猜测题。根据前面insincerity signs以及文章中谈到面试者会被问“为什么会失去上一份工作”可知,对待这样不真诚的行为,面试者就会更加怀疑你的忠诚度。understanding理解;uncertainty不确定;expression表达;agreement同意,一致。B项最接近原文意思,故为正确答案。

4.A　细节理解题。根据文中最后一段可以看出,咬嘴唇是心虚的一种表现,所以如果人们在面试的时候有这样的表现,那就很容易丧失被雇用的机会。

Ⅲ.【文章大意】  本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了莫德用带有友好态度的话改变了劳拉的生活。文章启发我们思考自己话语的力量,在任何时间说正确的话都是合适的,从现在开始吧。

1.D　根据句意“然而,话语就不带有大的力量和影响吗?”可知,应选择D项。transport 传送;allow 允许;recognize 辨认;carry携带。

2.A　结合下文可知,莫德的话改变了劳拉的生活,故选A 项。word话语;feeling感觉;explanation解释;opinion观点。

3.B　这里指莫德在那家商店工作。关系副词where指地点,故选B项。

4.A　根据后文可知其他员工应该是不喜欢她的,故选A项。like喜欢;change 改变;help 帮助;remember记得。

5.C　根据下文的“But one day, she made up her mind to say something kind to Laura.”可知,之前莫德和其他员工持有相同观点,故选C项。argue争论;care 关心,在意;agree同意;support支持。

7.D　根据语境可知,此处指在你身后的窗户上,“我”看到你的头部轮廓,故选D项。near紧挨着;towards 朝向;through通过;against以……为背景。

8.D　由句意“她的话不是真诚的但是友好的,她是认真的”可知,应选择D项。express 表达;make使得;notice注意到;mean意味着,打算。

9.A　结合上文其他员工都不喜欢她,可推测这应该是她第一次听到这么友好的话,故选A项。first第一;formal正式的;fair公平的,白皙的;favourable有利的。

10.B　句意:莫德发现劳拉不友好的态度和方式不是因为……。故选B项。action行动;attitude态度;idea观点,主意;opinion观点。

Ⅳ.【文章大意】  本文向我们介绍了了解肢体语言的重要性。

1.which　考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代前面整个句子,故填关系代词which。

2.be misunderstood　考查语态。根据语境可知,如果不了解那个国家的肢体语言,我们很有可能会被误解。在情态动词may后用动词原形,故填be misunderstood。

3.in　考查固定搭配。in general意为“一般说来”。

4.importance　考查词形转换。“be of+名词”相当于“be+形容词”,故填importance。

5.uncomfortable　考查形容词。 根据下文“They will move back to have their space.” 可知,对于美国人来说,如果一个人站得离他们太近,他们会感到不舒服,故填uncomfortable。

10.unspoken　考查词形转换。根据上下文可知,此处指的是肢体语言,也就是无声语言,故填unspoken。
