课时作业B：能力层面

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2019·合肥市第二次教学质检)In today's society，language plays a key role in defining gender(性别) by vocabulary，and also the non­verbal(非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.

Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are，and also have the ability to speak more clearly，precisely，and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting，as opposed to the thirteen­minute average it took men to describe it.

Men and women also tend to have a very different non­verbal way of communicating，which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say.Men's body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other people's body space while talking，and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.

Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other，I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating，what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex，“I wonder if there's something there？” would no longer exist.

【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同的现象。

(2019·湖南省六校联考)Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists，runners and walkers，but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear.It is a challenge many disabled athletes face，unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.

Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision­and hearing­impaired(视觉和听觉受损的) athletes with people who would like to guide them.

Jane Britt，president of Achilles Brisbane，who is vision­and hearing­ impaired，said，“When we go out，it's much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what's there.”

Ms.Cullen and Ms.Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the flee five­kilometer park run.Their partnership is built on trust，but Ms.Britt said that it took time to develop.

Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms.Cullen completely. “There was violent rain，my glasses were broken and we were walking together.I suddenly had to tell her I couldn't see anything，and I was going to have to completely trust her.From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in，”she said.

Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane.Ms.Allen kept active by rowing，running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse.After nearly giving up completely，she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.

Ms.Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane.“But，they found people and matched me to them，”she said.“It's the best thing I've ever done.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

(2019·武汉调研)One of the areas of our body which conveys most about how we feel is how we move our hands and arms.__1__，but most often they occur unconsciously and naturally.

__2__.Open hands and arms，especially extended，and with hands up in front of the body at chest height，indicates that what you're saying is important and，especially when people are speaking in public，a pointing finger or a hand waving above the shoulders stresses a personal point.However，research shows that people often find speakers who point their fingers a lot rather annoying.

Openness or honesty.__3__， they will often hold one or both of their hands out to the other person.Footballers who have just committed a foul (犯规) often use this gesture to try to convince the referee that they didn't do it.

Nervousness.If a person puts his hand to his mouth，this either indicates that he is hiding something，or that he is nervous.__4__， and so does holding a bag or briefcase very tightly in front of the body.

Feeling defensive.Arms folded tightly over the chest is a classic gesture of defensiveness and indicates that you are protecting yourself.It is often seen among strangers in queues or in lifts or anywhere where people feel a bit insecure.People also sometimes use this gesture when they are listening to someone，to show that they disagree with what is being said.__5__！

A．Saying something important

B．When people want to be open or honest

C．Hand and arm gestures are sometimes intentional

D．But this gesture can simply mean that the person is cold

E．Playing with your fingers，like tapping the table，also shows anxiety

F．This gesture is typical of lawyers，accountants，and other professionals

G．When someone puts up his both hands，he probably gives in to his enemies

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了肢体语言的各种含义，如说明你在讲重要的事；表示开放和诚实的心态；表示紧张和防御心理等。

1．C　[根据该句中的“but”可知，空处与下文“手和手臂大部分时候会自然、无意识地移动”形成转折关系，C项中的“intentional”与该句中的“unconsciously and naturally”相对，故C项正确。]

2．A　[根据文章结构以及空处所在的位置可知，空处为该段的主题；结合本段内容尤其是下文中的“indicates that what you're saying is important”“stresses a personal point”可知，该段主要陈述“肢体语言有时表示某事物的重要性”，故A项正确。]

3．B　[根据空前的“Openness or honesty”可知，该段主要陈述肢体语言表明的第二种含义：表示开放或诚实(的心态)，结合选项中对应的“to be open or honest”可知，B项正确。]

4．E　[根据该段主题句“Nervousness”可知，该段主要陈述肢体语言表明的第三种含义：紧张。结合本段内容和下文中的“and so does holding a bag or briefcase very tightly in front of the body”可知，空处应是陈述另一种表示紧张的肢体语言形式，故E项正确。]

5．D　[根据该段第二句“Arms folded tightly over the chest is a classic gesture of defensiveness and indicates that you are protecting yourself”可知，双臂紧紧地交叉在胸前是一种典型的防御姿势，表明你在保护自己。再结合常识可知，双臂紧紧地交叉在胸前仅仅说明你很寒冷，故D项正确。]
