Part 1 语法填空

（一）

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Gestures can 1． (use) to express people's thoughts and opinions in their interactions 2． other people, 3． means we can learn a lot about 4． people are thinking by watching their body language. However, in different countries the same gesture may have different meanings. For example, in some countries, looking into the eyes of the person you are talking to 5． (be) a way to display interest, but in many Middle Eastern countries men and women should avoid 6． (make) eye contact. In most countries, 7． (shake) one's head means "no," and nodding means "yes." By contrast, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on 8． cheek when they meet. Elsewhere, people favour shaking hands, bowing from the waist, or nodding the head when they meet someone else.

All in all, body language 9． (vary) from culture to culture, but it is safe 10． (follow) the golden rule—When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The key to success in both personal and professional relationships lies in your ability to communicate well. It’s not the words that you use but your body language that speaks the 11． (loud). Body language is the use of physical behaviors and expressions to communicate nonverbally (非语言的), often done unknowingly.

Whether you’re aware of it or not, when you interact with others, you 12． (give) and receiving wordless signals. All of your nonverbal behaviors — the gestures you make, your posture, your tone of voice, how much eye contact you make — send strong messages. They can put people 13． ease, build trust, and draw others towards you, or they can offend, confuse, and weaken what you’re trying to convey. Sometimes, they can give people some kind of 14． (warn).

In some 15． (instance), what comes out of your mouth and 16． you communicate through your body language may be two totally 17． (differ) things. If you say one thing, but your body language says something else, your listener will feel that you’re being 18． (honest). If you say “yes” while shaking your head no, for example. When 19． (face) with such mixed signs, the listener doesn’t know whether to believe you 20． not.

 （三）

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

As an educator, how do I know what’s going 21． in the minds of my students? My answer is looking at their body language. It is easy 22． (recognize) when students are interested in a lesson. People have a 23． (tend) to lean forwards whatever they are interested in. If a student has his head 24． (lower) to look at his watch, it implies he is bored. Not everyone 25． looks up is paying attention in class. Some students look up, but there is 26． absence of eye contact and their eyes 27． (bare) move. Some students’ favourite activity is daydreaming. 28． their cheeks on their hands, they occupy 29． (they) by staring out of the window.  Their body language let me know when to adjust class activities. 30． (react) to body language is an important component of being a teacher.

Part 2 阅读理解

 （一）

How about changing your body language and facial expressions, depending on the background of the person in front of you? Would you sit or stand differently and pay attention to your hand gestures?

These are just a handful of the small changes in behaviour that can contribute to what is known as your “cultural intelligence”, or CQ-and there is growing evidence that suggests they are well worth learning.

“The number one predictor of your success in today’s borderless world is not your IQ, not your resume (简历), and not even your professional skills,” writes social scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. “It’s your CQ.”

Much of the research on CQ has been done by Soon Ang, a professor of management at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. In the late 1990s, her job was updating computer systems in Singapore to deal with a software problem that would possibly bring down the world’s computer networks. Ang put together an international team of programmers to solve the problem.

They were some of the brightest minds in the business, yet she soon found that they just couldn’t work together. The programmer failed to work together effectively. Often, the members would appear to agree on a solution, but then carry it out in completely different ways.

Clearly, it wasn’t a question of expertise or motivation. Instead, she saw that these highly gifted employees were stumbling over each other’s cultural differences, leading to a breakdown in communication and understanding.

These insights would lead Ang to team up with the organizational psychologist P. Christopher Earley. Together they built a comprehensive theory of CQ, which they described as “the capability to function effectively in a variety of cultural contexts”.

Typically CQ is measured through a series of questions that assess four distinct components. The first is “CQ Drive”—the motivation to learn about other cultures. Then there is “CQ Knowledge”, which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences you may face. “CQ Strategy”, examines how you make sense of those difficult confrontation and learn from them while “CQ Action”, involves your behavioral flexibility-whether you are able to adapt your conduct flexibly.

31．What’s the function of the first paragraph?

A．To introduce what CQ is. B．To explain why people need CQ.

C．To show how to improve CQ. D．To encourage people to make changes.

32．What does David Livermore think of CQ?

A．It’s an anti-traditional element. B．It’s decisive for one’s success.

C．It’s impractical. D．It’s no different from IQ.

33．Why did the programmers work inefficiently?

A．They spoke different languages. B．Some of them were not experts.

C．They lacked passion for teamwork. D．They had barriers for mutual understanding.

34．What would be the best title for the passage?

A．How CQ works B．CQ determines success 

C．IQ or CQ? D．How to measure CQ

 （二）

Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.

Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.

Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.

Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.

35．According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is _______.

A．the miracle of technology

B．our ability to use language

C．the amazing power of nature

D．our ability to make noises

36．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

A．Body language is unique to humans.

B．Animals express emotions just as humans do.

C．Humans have other powers of communication.

D．Humans are no different than animals to some degree.

37．What feature of “body language” is common to both humans and animals?

A．Lifting heads when sad.

B．Keeping long faces when angry.

C．Bristling hair when ready to attack.

D．Bowing heads when willing to obey.

38．What’s the passage mainly about?

A．The special role humans play in nature.

B．The development of body language.

C．The difference between humans and animals.

D．The power to convey information to others.

 （三）

A handshake is one of the most common ways to greet others, but former US President Donald Trump’s unusual method has been put under the microscope.

Much like an arm wrestler in a match, this state leader has a habit of yanking (猛拽) people’s hands towards himself during handshakes. And while a typical handshake is only brief, the one between him and the then Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2019 lasted a full 19 seconds.

Simply having a strong hand is not the explanation here. According to Darren Stanton, a body language expert from the UK, while handshakes are usually an exchange of kindness, Trump uses his as a way to show power and control, regardless of how uncomfortable it makes people. “It is as if to say, ‘Hey, I’m in charge, don’t mess with me,’” Stanton told The Independent.

Apart from Trump’s “yank-shake”, there are other ways people display power with their hands. At business talks or political meetings, for instance, some people may rotate (转动) their wrist during handshakes so that their hand ends up on top instead of underneath. Some may squeeze so hard that it leaves the other person’s hand in pain.

According to Stanton, by pulling people into his personal space, Trump is also testing whether they are willing to cooperate with him. “For example, if someone resisted being yanked towards him and stood their ground, he would know that he had work to do with them before he got what he wanted,” Stanton told The Independent.

This is probably why when Canadian prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the White House, all eyes were on how he was going to handle Trump’s handshake.

Fortunately, Trudeau managed to avoid the embarrassment by grabbing Trump’s shoulder to stop himself being pulled in. Afterwards, some twitter users wrote this proved Trudeau’s strong leadership, with one even calling the moment “one of Canada’s victories”. Vice Magazine summed up: “...no regular handshake. This was the first shot in a bloodless war.”

39．Why did Trump shake hands with Shinzo Abe for 19 seconds?

A．To make people uncomfortable.

B．To show his power and control.

C．To treat the visitor with friendliness.

D．To impress the other with an unusual gesture.

40．How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?

A．By listing figures. B．By presenting causes.

C．By providing examples. D．By making comparisons.

41．Justin Trudeau’s reaction to Trump’s handshake ________.

A．proved his leadership

B．declared war on America

C．annoyed American citizens

D．brought him criticism and praise

42．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Trump has a very strong personality.

B．Trump shows power through greetings.

C．Handshakes display power and control.

D．Body language reveals one’s characters.

Part 3 读后续写

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。

If you are walking across the campus, you can be embarrassing with every pair of eyes on you, especially when you're 13 years old. I looked around me to find a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed. And I, in turn, felt a little foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply hoping to follow the advice that my mother had given me years before: when things get embarrassed, smile. No matter where you are, a smile will always be understood. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother's advice didn't work.

Just at that time, I was asking myself questions and concerns of any l3-year-old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention, how would I make friends when I didn't even speak the language? My heart was beating fast, and I felt nervous. Still. I did my best to be calm so as not to let others know just how sceared I truly was.

When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl, 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn't speak much Chinese yet, I talked with the other students through body languanges mixed in with broken English and Chinese. however, I wasn't sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren't sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all, I was the first American ever to attend the school. So, we were all first timers.

Paragraph 1:

Then came the first class—Chinese painting.

Paragraph 1:

  Then came the first class — Chinese painting. The teacher showed us how to use a brush to paint bamboo on a piece of white paper. Then all the other students were in business. But it was quite difficult for me. How could I hold the stiff brush and made it go as I wished? Hesitating for a while, I tried dipping the brush into the ink bottle. When I took it out, drops of black ink fell on the white paper. There was no bamboo, but big black dots!

Paragraph 2:

As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, who was next to me, gave me a warm smile. I smiled back awkwardly. She came over and demonstrated how to use the brush. The brush moved across the paper, and a lively bamboo appeared! With her help, I finally completed the task, although it was such an ugly one. After that, we became good friends. She taught me Chinese while I taught her English. We both made great progress in our studies. Yes, my mother was right. A smile did make a difference.
