A
It is said that our body language exhibits much more information about our thoughts and feelings than is possible to express verbally. But the implied meaning of these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture. Here’s an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe so you can know how to integrate, and what to avoid.
Greetings
In various parts of India, it’s common to greet one another by touching feet. Handshakes and hugs are common in Western societies, like the US and UK, but in parts of Europe such as France and Italy, handshakes are a slightly more personal greeting.
Hand and arm gestures
As standard, Italians use their arms and hands to gesture constantly while talking, but in Japan, this is considered impolite. If you’re in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand under your chin when speaking—it’s a vivid way to tell someone to go away! Do you think the thumbs-up sign is a universal hand gesture for “great”? Well, hopefully you haven’t visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it’s considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West. In the US, a “V” sign means victory. In the UK and Australia, however, it’s an offensive (冒犯).
Head movements
In many parts of Eastern European, the standard nodding and shaking indicating yes and no are switched, which can, of course, get very confusing. In Japan, staring too long is considered rude. Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Tibet, China. If someone is sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems! In fact, it’s a way of demonstrating respect, rather than being playful, silly or even bad-mannered like it is in Western culture.
All in all, body language plays an important role in communicating with people from other cultures. It can send signals stronger than words.
1. In which country is the thumbs—up sign considered bad mannered?
A. America. B. Japan. C. Greece. D. China.
2. What does it probably imply when people in Eastern Europe shake their head?
A. Agreement. B. Confusion. C. Disapproval. D. Respect.
3 Why does the author introduce us to all these examples?
A. To appeal to more people to engage in communication.
B. To give some practical suggestions to avoid culture shock.
C. To amuse us by telling us some interesting body language.
D. To help us avoid conflicts in cross-cultural communication.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。我们的肢体语言展示了比口头表达更多的思想和感情信息。但是,我们每天使用的肢体语言的含义,在另一种文化中可能意味着截然不同的意思。文章主要列举了全球范围内的一些例子来对此进行说明,目的是为了帮助我们避免跨文化交流冲突。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Hand and arm gestures部分下的“Do you think the thumbs-up sign is a universal hand gesture for “great”? Well, hopefully you haven’t visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it’s considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West. (你认为竖起大拇指是表示“伟大”的通用手势吗?好吧,希望你还没有去过希腊或撒丁岛,在那里,这被像在西方竖中指一样被认为是粗鲁的。)”可知,在希腊竖起大拇指被认为是粗鲁的,不礼貌的行为,故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Head movements部分下的“In many parts of Eastern European, the standard nodding and shaking indicating yes and no are switched, which can, of course, get very confusing. (标准的点头和摇头表示“是”和“不是”,在东欧的许多地方,这是互换的,当然,这可能会变得非常混乱。) ”可知,在东欧摇头是表示“是”,即同意的意思,故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Here’s an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe, so you can know how to integrate, and what to avoid. ( 下面是全球范围内最不寻常的例子的介绍,这样您就可以知道如何融入进去,以及知道应该避免什么。)”可知,作者介绍给我们这些例子是为了帮助我们避免跨文化交流冲突。故选D。
B
The stars were always within reach of Katherine Johnson. Using her mathematics skills, she helped NASA(美国国家航空航天局)send astronauts to the moon and return them safely home. She also overcame racial(种族的)and gender barriers to help make giant leaps for humankind.
Johnson was born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on August 26, 1918. Math came easily to her, but she worked hard to master geometry(几何)and algebra(代数). To realize her math potential, her father drove his family 120 miles to Institute, West Virginia, where blacks could continue high school education. Katherine’s excellent performance proved her father’s decision was the right one: Teachers allowed Katherine to skip several grades to graduate from high school at 14 and from college at 18, majoring in mathematics, as the top student of the historically black West Virginia State College in Institute.
In 1953, after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mom, she began working for NASA, which began hiring women to measure and calculate(计算)the results of wind tunnel tests in 1935. In a time before the electronic computers, these women were called ”computer“. Even after NASA began using electronic computers, the astronaut John Glenn requested that she should personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.
She continued to work at NASA until her retirement in 1986. Her calculations proved important to the success of the Apollo lunar landing program and the United States journey into space. It wasn’t until the 2016 release of the movie Hidden Figures that these women received widespread recognition.
Johnson passed away on February 24, 2020, at the age of 101. In her honor, NASA had dedicated the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility at the Langley Research Center to commemorate the hard work she did to help take them to the stars.
4. What can we learn about Katherine Johnson from paragraph 2?
A. She made all decisions herself.
B. She failed to develop her potential.
C. She was gifted in mathematics.
D. She didn’t receive regular education.
5. What does John Glenn’s”request“ mentioned in paragraph 3 indicate?
A. The poor function of the electronic computers.
B. Katherine’s extraordinary calculation power.
C. The demanding job Katherine was hired to do.
D. The risks astronauts had to take in their flights.
6. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?
A. Honor. B. Confirm. C. Advocate. D. Transform.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To demonstrate the role women play.
B. To reveal the key to great success.
C. To emphasize the importance of maths.
D. To tell us a woman of achievement.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了著名数学家凯瑟琳·约翰逊的一生,以及她的成就。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Math came easily to her, but she worked hard to master geometry and algebra. To realize her math potential, her father drove his family 120 miles to Institute, West Virginia, where blacks could continue high school education. Katherine’s excellent performance proved her father’s decision was the right one: Teachers allowed Katherine to skip several grades to graduate from high school at 14 and from college at 18, majoring in mathematics, as the top student of the historically black West Virginia State College in Institute.(数学对她来说很容易,但她仍努力学习去掌握几何和代数。为了实现她的数学潜力,她的父亲开车带着家人120英里来到西弗吉尼亚州的研究所,在那里黑人可以继续接受高中教育。凯瑟琳的优异表现证明了她父亲的决定是正确的:老师允许凯瑟琳跳过几个年级,14岁高中毕业,18岁大学毕业,主修数学,是历史上黑人西弗吉尼亚州立学院的优等生)”可知,凯瑟琳·约翰逊有数学天赋。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In 1953, after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mom, she began working for NASA, which began hiring women to measure and calculate the results of wind tunnel tests in 1935. In a time before the electronic computers, these women were called ”computer“. Even after NASA began using electronic computers, the astronaut John Glenn requested that she should personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight.(1953年,在做了多年教师和全职妈妈之后,她开始为美国宇航局工作。1935年,美国宇航局开始雇佣女性来测量和计算风洞测试的结果。在电子计算机出现之前,这些女性被称为“计算机”。即使在美国国家航空航天局开始使用电子计算机之后,宇航员约翰·格伦(John Glenn)也要求她在飞行前亲自检查新电子计算机所做的计算)”可知,即使使用电子计算机之后,宇航员约翰·格伦也要求她在飞行前亲自检查新电子计算机所做的计算,这是为了说明凯瑟琳非凡的计算能力。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“In her honor, NASA had dedicated the Katherine G. Johnson Computational Research Facility at the Langley Research Center(为了纪念她,美国国家航空航天局在兰利研究中心设立了凯瑟琳·G·约翰逊计算研究设施)”可知,最后一段中是在讲述NASA如何纪念凯瑟琳·约翰逊,所以可以推知commemorate应是“纪念”之意,和A项“Honor”意思相近。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The stars were always within reach of Katherine Johnson. Using her mathematics skills, she helped NASA send astronauts to the moon and return them safely home. She also overcame racial and gender barriers to help make giant leaps for humankind.(凯瑟琳·约翰逊总是能拿到星星。利用她的数学技能,她帮助美国宇航局将宇航员送上月球,并让他们安全返回家园。她还克服了种族和性别障碍,帮助人类实现了巨大的飞跃)”以及后文可知,本文主要介绍了凯瑟琳·约翰逊的一生,以及获得的成就,所以本文的目的是告诉我们一个有成就的女人。故选D项。
C
When it comes to learning abroad, you may feel uncertain and nervous. Then a supportive host family can be hugely significant in making you feel comfortable in a new country and a new culture. Here are some reasons.
Imagine if you could find a warm greeting upon arrival at your chosen destination. Your homesickness will be cured by the quality time you spend with your host family. Sharing conversations, trying each other’s hobbies or enjoying a movie evening together can create bonds and friendships that last a lifetime.
While you live with a local family, you can make the most out of everyday conversations in a relaxing environment, which will encourage you to learn new words in new ways that you cannot always pick up in the classroom. You will make much faster progress in your learning as you’ll be putting your skills to use outside the classroom as well as with native speakers.
While you live with your host family, you will eat the local cuisine and get to know the true character of the local food culture. Although each family does it differently, this will give you invaluable insights into local life. You may even learn some delicious family recipes and should also share yours.
While exploring unknown pathways can be exciting, sometimes you just have to be somewhere on time. Living with a host family will teach you how to travel like a local and navigate the London Underground like a pro (老手) and read a train schedule with so much confidence that a native speaker asks you for direction.
Daily life with your host family will teach you so much about the culture and traditions of the country you are living in. It will also teach you to embrace cultural differences. Not only will you return home with new language skills, but you will hopefully also come home with a second family abroad—a true home away from home.

A US company, Mighty Buildings, can 3D-print a house and stick it in your backyard for just £75,000. Mighty Buildings uses a 20ft-high printer stored in a California warehouse(仓库)to make you a small cottage and ships it to your property on a truck.
“All you need to do is sit back and relax as we deliver and install(安装)your unit for you,” Mighty Buildings says on its website.
Compared to new houses of a similar size in California, Mighty Buildings says its 3D-printed sheds costs 45% less to build. The firm apparently takes just 24 hours to build a 350-square-foot house, using 95% less labour than traditional methods. The technique is also said to be more eco-friendly, producing 90% less waste than a typical build.
It’s not the first company to offer 3D-printed buildings: An entire street of the high-tech houses is being built in Mexico. However, Mighty Buildings’ technology is different as it prints more elements of the house—the houses in Mexico, for instance, only feature 3D-printed walls and floors.
As much as 80% of Mighty Buildings’ building process is now automated(自动化), according to the company. The rest, including the windows, plumbing and electrics, is done separately on site.
According to the firm’s website, prices start around $100,000(£75,000)for an environmentally friendly, studio-sized apartment. Mighty Buildings has already delivered two fully-functioning units in San Ramon and San Diego and is now working on multiple other orders.
3D printing is a process of layering up a material to build complex structures. It works just like regular house printers—but instead of ink, a 3D printer will use materials like plastic and metal. Using giant 3D printers, it’s been proven possible to quickly and cheaply build houses. Sadly the tech is far from mainstream for now. A recent report suggested 3D-printed houses built in less than 24 hours will form a key part of the UK’s housing market by 2025.
12. What does the passage focus on?
A. Mighty Buildings. B. 3D-printed houses.
C. 3D printing tech. D. Building styles.
13. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The exceptional size of printed houses.
B. The multiple functions of the house.
C. The advantages of 3D-printed houses.
D. The efficient delivery of the houses.
14. How is the present market situation of the tech?
A. It is simply hopeless. B. It is far from optimistic.
C. It just remains stable. D. It cannot be any better.
15. What does the ”report“ mentioned in the last paragraph suggest?
A. 3D printed houses are promising.
B. The tech needs to be improved.
C. The houses are rather easy to build.
D. The housing market will boom.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家叫做Mighty Buildings的美国公司以3D打印技术制造房屋的情况。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“A US company, Mighty Buildings, can 3D-print a house and stick it in your backyard for just £75,000.(一家 叫做 Mighty Buildings的美国公司,可以3D打印一个房子,并把它牢固在你的后院,这只需75000英镑。)”,第三段中“Compared to new houses of a similar size in California, Mighty Buildings says its 3D-printed sheds costs 45% less to build. (与加利福尼亚同等规模的新建房屋相比,Mighty Buildings表示,其3D打印的棚屋建造成本要低45%。)”可知,文章主要介绍了一家叫做Mighty Buildings的美国公司以3D打印技术制造房屋以及其优点。所以文章的重点是介绍3D打印房屋,故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““All you need to do is sit back and relax as we deliver and install(安装)your unit for you,” Mighty Buildings says on its website.( “当我们为您的套房提供运送和安装时,您所需要做的就是坐下来,放松,”Mighty Buildings在其网站上说。)”可知,从第二段中,我们可以得知3D打印房子的运送是很高效的,故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sadly the tech is far from mainstream for now. (遗憾的是,这项技术目前还远未成为主流。)”可知,这项技术目前还远未成为主流,由此可推知,这项技术目前不太乐观,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A recent report suggested 3D-printed houses built in less than 24 hours will form a key part of the UK’s housing market by 2025.(最近的一份报告表明,到2025年,在不到24小时内建成的3D 打印房屋将成为英国住宅市场的一个关键组成部分。)”可知,最后一段中提到的这项报告表明3D打印技术未来是很有前景的,故选A。

第二节:续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
My wife, Megan, and I went out to dinner with an old friend who we had not seen in a while. There had been some talk of COVID-19 on the news, but it was early in the outbreak and people were still going about their daily routines. Even though everyone in our group felt perfectly fine, we took precautions(预防): We washed our hands with soap, did not share food and had no significantly close contact.
A few days later, our friend called and told us that she had been test positive(阳性) for the coronavirus. She had felt some mild symptoms(症状)for a day or so after that dinner and was able to be tested because she is a doctor. On the following day, I started to feel a little tired. I decided to stay on the master bedroom away from the rest of my family. The next morning, I woke up with a 39-degree fever. That was when we realized that I might have caught the virus from our friend.
At once, Megan called our state’s coronavirus(冠状病毒) hotline, who then called in our primary care doctor and the head of our local hospital system’s coronavirus team. We explained that we had been in contact with someone who has been test positive, and I was having symptoms. They quickly permitted me to receive a test at an urgent care center located five minutes’ drive from my house. The result made my heart sink—I was also tested positive, and the local hospital wasn’t equipped with the facilities to treat my disease. As a mild case, I was recommended to stay at home and quarantine(隔离) myself.
Following the doctor’s advice, Megan and I quarantined ourselves and our children. I started isolation(隔开) in the bedroom, and the only interaction I had with Megan was when she brought in food. Megan slept on a small couch in our home office away from the kids’ rooms. She also minimized her contact with our kids in case she was carrying the virus.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With all the severe symptoms, I suffered a lot.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One week later, things were changing for the better.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With all the severe symptoms, I suffered a lot. We decided to call everyone we had contacted over the course of the past week. Megan insisted we should let them know that I had tested positive. Hard as it was to inform people that we might have given them the coronavirus, it was the responsible thing to do. To our pleasant surprise, all of our friends showed their understanding and support upon hearing the news. To cheer us up, one of my wife’s best friends even baked a cake with the letters “Stay Strong” on it and delivered it to our front door.
One week later, things were changing for the better. I made sure to get plenty of rest and did some exercise to stay as healthy as I could. I also managed to ease the worries of Megan and our kids during our quarantine by spending more time doing online video-chats with them. My fever started to fade and I could feel my head clearing. The next test showed a cheering result. It came back negative. Had it not been for the love and care from those around me, I wouldn’t have made it.
