[湖南长沙长郡中学2024高二月考] Every time your fingers touch your cellphone, they leave behind traces of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By analyzing them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.
A molecule is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemicals. Your skin is covered with molecules picked up by everything you’ve touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what it’s touched earlier.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) recently analyzed such chemical remains on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteer’s phone with a cotton swab (药签). The scientists also swabbed each person’s right hand.

Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cellphone. The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared these to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.
Traces of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules reflected what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says, “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses high-end cosmetics, dyes her hair, drinks coffee, or likes spicy food.”
Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says, he’s never heard of police using phone remains to narrow down behavioural clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了肢体语言在沟通交流中的重要性。
1.________
personal
解析 句意为:在人际和职业关系中,虽然取得成功的关键在于良好的沟通能力,但最能体现沟通效果的不是你说的话,而是你的肢体语言。设空处与professional共同修饰名词relationships,应用形容词,作定语。故填personal。
2._______________
to communicate
解析 句意见上一题解析。抽象名词ability后常跟不定式作后置定语,表示“做某事的能力”。故填to communicate。

【知识拓展】不定式作后置定语
(1)在一些抽象名词attempt、plan、ability、opportunity/chance、effort、right、desire、hope、wish、move、excuse、way等后,常用不定式作后置定语。如:They have now an opportunity to go abroad to study further.他们现在有机会出国深造。
(2)当中心词为序数词、形容词最高级、the last、the only等或中心词被这类词所修饰时,多用不定式作后置定语。如:He was the first guest to arrive.他是第一个到达的客人。
(3)不定式与其所修饰的词之间往往有动宾关系,如果该不定式是不及物动词,其后应有介词。如:Give me some pieces of paper to write on.给我一些纸写字。

3.____
but
解析 句意见第1题解析。根据句意可知,此处表示“不是……而是……”,应用not… but… 表达。故填but。
4.___
of
解析 句意为:不管你是否意识到,当你与他人互动时,你在不断地发出和接收无言的信号。be aware of… 为固定短语,意为“意识到……”。故填of。
5.__________
behaviours
解析 句意为:你所有的非语言行为——你做的手势、你说话的语气和你眼神交流的次数——都传递着强烈的信息。behaviour在此作“(人、动植物等的)表现方式”之意讲,可作可数和不可数名词,再由send可知此处应用复数形式。故填behaviours。
刷语法填空
25
6.______
what
解析 句意为:它们可以建立信任,吸引他人关注你,也可以混淆你试图表达的意思。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导宾语从句,作confuse的宾语,引导词在从句中作express的宾语,表示“……的东西/事情”,应用what引导该从句。故填what。
7._______
totally
解析 句意为:在某些情况下,从你嘴里说出的话和你通过你的肢体语言传达的信息可能完全是两码事。设空处修饰形容词different,应用副词。故填totally。
8._______
mixed
解析 句意为:面对这种混合信号时,听众必须选择是相信你的语言信息还是非语言信息。设空处修饰名词signals,应用形容词,作定语。故填mixed。
刷语法填空
26
9._______
shows
解析 句意为:因为肢体语言是一种自然语言,可以表达你的真实情感和意图,所以他们很可能会选择(相信)非语言信息。that引导定语从句,修饰先行词language,设空处作该从句的谓语;根据上文的is可知,时态为一般现在时,且为客观介绍一般事实;从句的主语that指代a natural language,从句的谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填shows。
10.__________
rewarding
解析 句意为:然而,通过改善你理解和运用非语言交流的能力,你可以表达你真正的意思,更好地与他人交流,并建立更牢固、更有益的人际关系。设空处修饰名词relationships,应用形容词,作定语。故填rewarding。

[全国新课标Ⅰ2023] 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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.

I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
