If we are feeling great, we may give out our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often know how they are feeling by their body signals. So I think reading body language signals is a helpful tool in daily communication. It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way. Here are some numbers for you to know how important it is to read and use body language. 7% of the information we receive is from what people say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone (语调) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to pay attention to what people are saying. If you pay too much attention on their body language signals, you and the people may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals, and it is useful to be able to read people’s body language too. Body language may have some interpretations. Many signals have different meanings. It depends on the person, the situation and the culture. For example, in the US, people wave goodbye with the palm (手掌) facing the person they’re waving to. But in other cultures, people may wave goodbye with the palm up to the sky, and the fingers opening and closing. To people in the US, this might look like a gesture asking someone to come closer. So you have to be sure of the meaning when you are trying to read a body language signal… 34．What does the writer think of body language? A．It is simple to learn. B．It is hard to understand. C．It is difficult to be used. D．It is helpful in communication. 35．The underlined word “interpretations” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．names B．excuses C．meanings D．thoughts 36．What will the writer most probably talk about in the next paragraph? A．What the wrong body language signals are. B．How to understand body language correctly. C．Why people wrongly understand body language. D．Numbers of people wrongly using body language. C Chinese paper cutting has a history of thousands of years. Because the cut-outs (图案) are also used to decorate windows, they are sometimes called “chuanghua” or Window Flower. They are supposed to bring people good luck, health and happiness. In the Han Dynasty (朝代), paper began as a precious (珍贵的) thing, so few people could use paper for art. From the 7th to 13th century, paper cutting became so popular that almost all the families decorated their houses with cut-outs during festivals. The art spread to the whole world in the 14th century, immediately catching people’s eyes. In the past, every girl in the countryside was expected to master the skill of paper cutting. It is easy to learn it, but mastering it is another thing. Usually, good paper cutting artists are men. When you look at cut-outs carefully, you will be amazed by the subtle (细微的) expressions of the character’s feeling and appearance, or the lively portrayal (描绘) of natural plants and animals’ different gestures. 37．When was paper cutting spread to the world? A．In the 7th century. B．In the 13th century. C．In the 14th century. D．In the Han Dynasty. 38．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us? A．The history of Chinese paper cutting.

It is easy to learn it, but mastering it is another thing. Usually, good paper cutting artists are men.

If we are feeling great, we may give out our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often know how they are feeling by their body signals. So I think reading body language signals is a helpful tool in daily communication. It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way. Here are some numbers for you to know how important it is to read and use body language. 7% of the information we receive is from what people say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone (语调) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to pay attention to what people are saying. If you pay too much attention on their body language signals, you and the people may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals, and it is useful to be able to read people’s body language too. Body language may have some interpretations. Many signals have different meanings. It depends on the person, the situation and the culture. For example, in the US, people wave goodbye with the palm (手掌) facing the person they’re waving to. But in other cultures, people may wave goodbye with the palm up to the sky, and the fingers opening and closing. To people in the US, this might look like a gesture asking someone to come closer. So you have to be sure of the meaning when you are trying to read a body language signal… 34．What does the writer think of body language? A．It is simple to learn. B．It is hard to understand. C．It is difficult to be used. D．It is helpful in communication. 35．The underlined word “interpretations” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．names B．excuses C．meanings D．thoughts 36．What will the writer most probably talk about in the next paragraph? A．What the wrong body language signals are. B．How to understand body language correctly. C．Why people wrongly understand body language. D．Numbers of people wrongly using body language. 34．D 35．C 36．B 【导语】本文讲述了身体语言可以有不同的解释。许多身体语言都有不同的意义，以及读懂身体语言的重要性。 34．细节理解题。根据第一段中“So I think reading body language signals is a helpful tool in daily communication. It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way.”可知，理解肢体语言信号是日常交流中一个有用的工具，如果我们以正确的方式使用它，它可以帮助我们更容易地与他人沟通；所以作者认为肢体语言有助于交流。故选D。 35．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Body language may have some interpretations. Many signals have different meanings.”可知，肢体语言可能有一些不同的含义，可推测出“interpretations”意为“解释”，与“meanings”意思相近。故选C。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Body language may have some interpretations. Many signals have different meanings. It depends on the person, the situation and the culture.”可知，肢体语言有不同的含义，可推断出下文应介绍如何正确理解肢体语言。故选B。 C Chinese paper cutting has a history of thousands of years.

He had dragons carved (雕刻) into the stone floors, around the windows and on the doors. There were even dragons painted onto the wooden tables and chairs, and on his cups and bowls. 42 There were dragons everywhere. 43 The dragon was very moved (感动的) and he wanted to thank Lord Ye, so the dragon left heaven (天国) to visit him. It was a dark stormy night when the dragon pulled himself through Lord Ye’s window and into Lord Ye’s home. He saw all the beautiful dragon designs and thought Lord Ye would be pleased to see him. 44 After that, everyone in the town knew about Lord Ye’s story. 45 He just loved to have pictures and paintings of them instead. This is a story that makes fun of people who act as if they liked something very much, but are actually afraid of it. A．They knew that Lord Ye was not a brave man with a true love for dragons. B．One day, the dragon in heaven heard of Lord Ye and his love for dragons. C．Everyone in the town knew Lord Ye loved dragons. D．Lord Ye’s favorite silk robe (长袍) had dragons on it. E．But as soon as Lord Ye saw him, he was scared to death and ran away into the night! 41．C 42．D 43．B 44．E 45．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了叶公好龙的故事。 41．根据“He had beautiful paintings of dragons everywhere in his home.”可知，他家里到处都是美丽的龙画，因此可知空处表示他很喜欢龙，选项C“镇上的人都知道叶公爱龙。”符合语境。故选C。 42．根据“There were even dragons painted onto the wooden tables and chairs, and on his cups and bowls.”可知，此处是在介绍他家的物品上都有龙的图案，选项D“叶公最喜欢的丝绸长袍上有龙。”符合语境。故选D。 43．根据“The dragon was very moved (感动的) and he wanted to thank Lord Ye, so the dragon left heaven (天国) to visit him.”可知，此处应是龙听说了叶公对他的喜爱，所以很感动并想感谢他，选项B“有一天，天上的龙听说了叶公和他对龙的喜爱。”符合语境。故选B。 44．根据“He saw all the beautiful dragon designs and thought Lord Ye would be pleased to see him.”可知，此处应是介绍叶公看见龙后的情景，选项E“但叶公一看见他，就吓得要死，跑进了夜色中！”符合语境。故选E。 45．根据“After that, everyone in the town knew about Lord Ye’s story.”及“He just loved to have pictures and paintings of them instead.”可知，镇上的每个人都知道了叶公不是一个真正爱龙的人的故事，选项A“他们知道叶公不是一个真正爱龙的勇敢的人。”符合语境。故选A。 四、词语运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A）选用方框内的单词或词组填空，其中有一个单词或词组是多余的。 pale   depends on   closely   already   yet   excuse me 46．My parents haven’t come back home . 47．You look .

Sometimes it how you look at it. 50．If you are in their way, people with good manners will say “ ” and wait till you move. 46．yet 47．pale 48．closely 49．depends on 50．excuse me 【解析】46．句意：我的父母还没有回家。根据“My parents haven’t come back home...”可知，此处是现在完成时的否定句，备选词yet“还没”符合语境，故填yet。 47．句意：你看起来脸色苍白。有什么事吗？根据“You look... What’s the matter?”可知，此处在句中作表语，询问对方怎么了，所以脸色不好，pale“苍白的”符合语境，故填pale。 48．句意：这是团队合作精神。让我们紧密合作。此处在句中修饰动词，根据“It’s team work. Let’s work...with each other.”可知，团队要紧密合作，closely“紧密地”符合语境，故填closely。 49．句意：生活可以是容易的，也可以是困难的。有时这取决于你如何看待它。此处需要动词作谓语，根据“Life can be easy or difficult. Sometimes it...how you look at it.”可知，生活取决于你怎么看待它，depends on“取决于”符合语境，故填depends on。 50．句意：如果你挡了他们的路，有礼貌的人会说“打扰一下”，等着你走开。根据“If you are in their way, people with good manners will say ‘...’ and wait till you move.”可知，挡路说“打扰一下”符合语境，故填excuse me。 B）用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空，使短文完整、通顺。 Wang Wei, a man who took part in the seventh Wushan Fitness Championship in Hangzhou for the 51 （one）time, touched many people with his fight against cancer which lasted for seven years. Wang was diagnosed（诊断）with follicular lymphoma（滤泡性淋巴瘤）in 2014. He felt very low after 52 （know）that. “It was like I was dreaming, because my body had always been in good condition and I didn’t smoke or drink,” Wang said. “It scared me and I hit the 53 （low）point in my life.” Through the comfort and support of his family and friends, Wang began to receive medical treatment in November 2014. At the same time, he continued fitness training. Wang said fitness training had been one of his 54 （hobby）since middle school. Although he got the cancer, he wouldn’t give up 55 （do）exercise. Unluckily, a re-examination in 2018 found his cancer entered a terminal stage（晚期）. “When I 56 （learn）about it, I wasn’t as 57 （worry）as the last time. I carried on with my hobby and went to the fitness centre to exercise regularly as usual.” In April 2021, Wang 58 （encourage）to join in the Wushan Fitness Championship. To show the best of his body shape on stage, Wang trained very hard, losing 15.6 kilograms of weight in 161 days. While he was preparing for it, he was also receiving cancer treatment, and had to 59 （visit）the hospital every week.

I would like to join the school voluntary team to help protect our environment. In my opinion, going green plays a very important role in our life. In my daily life, I often try my best to reduce pollution. For example, I always remember to take my own bags when shopping instead of plastic bags. As we all know, it may take a plastic bag hundreds of years to break down. What’s more, I know the importance of saving energy, so I always turn off the tap when brushing my teeth and turn off the lights when I leave a room. I also plant flowers at home to live a green life.
