If you please take it away, I shall be greatly thankful.” Dorothy reached up both arms and lifted the Straw Man off the post and took it out of the field. “Thank you very much,” said the Straw Man,“I feel like a new man. Who are you? And where are you going?” “My name is Dorothy,” said the girl, “and I am going to the Emerald City (翡翠城), to ask the Great Oz to send me back to my home.” “And who is Oz?” he asked. “Why, don’t you know?” she returned in surprise. “No, indeed. I don’t know anything. You see, I am just made of straw (稻草), so I have no brains at all,” he answered sadly. “If I go with you, will Oz give me some brains?” he asked. “I can not tell,” she returned, “but you may come with me, if you like. Even if Oz can not give you any brains, you will still not be worse.” “That is true,” said the Straw Man. “I do not want people to call me a fool. The farmers laughed at me when they were making me, saying that if my head stays with just straw instead of with brains, I will know nothing.” “Oh, dear. I understand how you feel. If you come with me, I’ll ask Oz to do all he can for you.” However, Toto did not like this addition to the party at first.

He had always been interested in farming and decided to do something to make farming even better. As he passed through the countryside on his journeys for his work he looked out at the fields. Some of them were greener and growing better than others. He was lost in thought. How could a farmer do better? Surely there must be rules that would help them. He thought he could use his knowledge to find out the best ways for farmers and write a book to help them. In doing so, he collected information from farmers who did well, studied it and even did experiments to find the best way. For example, he advised farmers to clear. harmful grass in the ground. They could either let the animals eat the grass or turn earth over so that the grass was covered and would be cleared. Then he gave advice on turning over earth. The first time each year, farmers should dig deeply, but the second time should be less deep. He suggested changing plants in the field every year: rice one year and wheat the next so that they would always get good harvests (丰收). He also gave advice on how to fish, keep a garden and even make wine. He wrote down his advice in a book called “Qi Min Yao Shu”, with 10 parts, 92 pieces of articles and more than 110,000 words. “Qi Min” refers to the ordinary people, while “Yao Shu” means the important ways for making a living. The name of the book shows the writer’s hope to call for the attention to the farming production and making people live a happy life. For centuries after Jia Sixie died, Qi Min Yao Shu was still used and studied by Chinese farmers and students of farming. Qi Min Yao Shu also had great influence in the other countries. For example, Darwin (1809–1882), the famous Britain scientist, had used some examples to support his famous theory, the Evolution Theory (《进化论》). Some European and American scientists have studied the book and called it “a practical, outstanding and complete farming scientific achievement”. 30. Why did Jia Sixie write Qi Min Yao Shu? A. He had collected good advice from experienced farmers. B. He wanted to improve farming and bring better lives for farmers. C. He wanted to spread Chinese ways of farming to other countries. D. He passed through the countryside and was impressed by the beautiful view. 31. What advice did Jia Sixie give to help improve farming? A. He suggested doing experiments on how to make wine. B. He thought that the grass should be mixed with the plants. C. He advised farmers to dig less deep in the second time of a year. D. He called for greater attention to studying animals on the farms. 32. Why did the writer include the last paragraph? A. To show how useful and famous Qi Min Yao Shu is. B. To give an advertisement for Qi Min Yao Shu. C. To explain why people accept Jia Sixie’s idea. D. To tell why Qi Min Yao Shu becomes so popular. 【答案】30. B 31. C 32. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了贾思勰，及其著作《齐民要术》。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据和“The name of the book shows the writer’s hope to call for the attention to the farming production and making people live a happy life.(这本书的名字表明了作者希望唤起人们对农业生产的关注，让人们过上幸福的生活。)”可知，他想改善农业，给农民带来更好的生活。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The first time each year, farmers should dig deeply, but the second time should be less deep.”可知，每年第一次，农民应该深入挖掘，但第二次应该不那么深入。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For centuries after Jia Sixie died, Qi Min Yao Shu was still used and studied by Chinese farmers and students of farming...Some European and American scientists have studied the book and called it ‘a practical, outstanding and complete farming scientific achievement’.”可知，作者在最后一段介绍了《齐民要术》是多么有用和有名。故选A。 （ C ） ① We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our communication with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings. ② Just like spoken language, the meanings of body language differ from culture to culture. The important thing is using body language in a way that is acceptable to the culture you are in. ③The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who sees another person using the gesture might think it means money. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil, as it is not polite. Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have an opposite meaning. There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the face when they meet. Elsewhere, people prefer shaking hands or nodding the head when they meet someone else. ④ Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere. Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes means “sleep”. A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal. ⑤ Besides difference in meanings, different uses of some body language are also worth studying. Perhaps the best example is smiling. It would be a good idea to use smile to help us get through difficult time and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can break down misunderstandings. We can use a smile to say sorry, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend. 33. In Bulgaria, if you don’t agree with your local friend, which of the following gesture will you use? A. B. C. D. 34. How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph ③? A. By giving instructions on how to use body language. B. By offering suggestions on when to use body language. C. By using examples of body language with different meanings. D. By comparing the difference between words and body language. 35. What special can we learn about the body language in Brazil? A. Nodding your head means “No”. B. It is impolite to use the gesture for “OK”. C. People hug each other when meeting their friends. D. Putting hands together on the side of your head means “sleepy”. 36. Which picture best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】33. A 34. C 35. B 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了了解和使用身势语的重要性。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In many countries, shaking one’s head means ‘no’, and nodding means ‘yes’. By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have an opposite meaning.”可知，在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部，摇头意味着“是”，点头意味着“不”。A图片符合。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The gesture for ‘OK’ has different meanings in different cultures.”和“There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part.”可知，作者运用例子说明肢体语言在不同国家有不同的含义。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The gesture for ‘OK’ has different meanings in different cultures...However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil, as it is not polite.”可知，在巴西，使用“OK”的手势是不礼貌的。故选B。 【36题详解】 篇章结构题。首段讲述了言语和身势语同等重要，都可以传达我们的想法和观点；第二三段讲了不同国家相同的手势有不同的意义，第四段讲述了相同手势语在国家相同的含义。最后一段以“微笑”为例，讲述使用身势语的重要性。故选C。 （D） TV for Dogs?

She then walked to it, when Toto, her pet dog, had already run around under the post and barked. “Good day.” said the Straw Man. “Did you speak?” asked the girl in wonder. “How do you do?” “I’m not feeling well,” said the Straw Man, with a strange smile painted on its face, “for it is very uncomfortable to be put here night and day.” “Can’t you get down?” “No, for this post is in my back. If you please take it away, I shall be greatly thankful.” Dorothy reached up both arms and lifted the Straw Man off the post and took it out of the field. “Thank you very much,” said the Straw Man,“I feel like a new man. Who are you? And where are you going?” “My name is Dorothy,” said the girl, “and I am going to the Emerald City (翡翠城), to ask the Great Oz to send me back to my home.” “And who is Oz?” he asked. “Why, don’t you know?” she returned in surprise. “No, indeed. I don’t know anything. You see, I am just made of straw (稻草), so I have no brains at all,” he answered sadly. “If I go with you, will Oz give me some brains?” he asked. “I can not tell,” she returned, “but you may come with me, if you like. Even if Oz can not give you any brains, you will still not be worse.” “That is true,” said the Straw Man. “I do not want people to call me a fool. The farmers laughed at me when they were making me, saying that if my head stays with just straw instead of with brains, I will know nothing.” “Oh, dear. I understand how you feel. If you come with me, I’ll ask Oz to do all he can for you.” However, Toto did not like this addition to the party at first.

As he passed through the countryside on his journeys for his work, he looked out at the fields. Some of them were greener and growing better than others. He was lost in thought. How could a farmer do better? Surely there must be rules that would help them. He thought he could use his knowledge to find out the best ways for farmers and write a book to help them. In doing so, he collected information from farmers who did well, studied it and even did experiments to find the best way. For example he advised farmers to clear. harmful grass in the ground. They could either let the animals eat the grass or turn earth over so that the grass was covered and would be cleared. Then he gave advice on turning over earth. The first time each year, farmers should dig deeply, but the second time should be less deep. He suggested changing plants in the field every year: rice one year and wheat the next so that they would always get good harvests (丰收). He also gave advice on how to fish, keep a garden and even make wine. He wrote down his advice in a book called “Qi Min Yao Shu”, with 10 parts, 92 pieces of articles and more than 110,000 words. “Qi Min” refers to the ordinary people, while “Yao Shu” means the important ways for making a living. The name of the book shows the writer’s hope to call for the attention to the farming production and making people live a happy life. For centuries after Jia Sixie died, Qi Min Yao Shu was still used and studied by Chinese farmers and students of farming. Qi Min Yao Shu also had great influence in the other countries. For example, Darwin (1809–1882), the famous Britain scientist, had used some examples to support his famous theory, the Evolution Theory (《进化论》). Some European and American scientists have studied the book and called it “a practical, outstanding and complete farming scientific achievement”. 30. Why did Jia Sixie write Qi Min Yao Shu? A. He had collected good advice from experienced farmers. B. He wanted to improve farming and bring better lives for farmers. C. He wanted to spread Chinese ways of farming to other countries. D. He passed through the countryside and was impressed by the beautiful view. 31. What advice did Jia Sixie give to help improve farming? A He suggested doing experiments on how to make wine. B. He thought that the grass should be mixed with the plants. C. He advised farmers to dig less deep in the second time of a year. D. He called for greater attention to studying animals on the farms. 32. Why did the writer include the last paragraph? A. To show how useful and famous Qi Min Yao Shu is. B. To give an advertisement for Qi Min Yao Shu. C. To explain why people accept Jia Sixie’s idea. D. To tell why Qi Min Yao Shu becomes so popular. （ C ） ① We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our communication with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings. ② Just like spoken language, the meanings of body language differ from culture to culture. The important thing is using body language in a way that is acceptable to the culture you are in. ③The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who sees another person using the gesture might think it means money. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil, as it is not polite. Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have an opposite meaning. There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the face when they meet. Elsewhere, people prefer shaking hands or nodding the head when they meet someone else. ④ Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere. Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes means “sleep”. A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal. ⑤ Besides difference in meanings, different uses of some body language are also worth studying. Perhaps the best example is smiling. It would be a good idea to use smile to help us get through difficult time and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can break down misunderstandings. We can use a smile to say sorry, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend. 33. In Bulgaria, if you don’t agree with your local friend, which of the following gesture will you use? A. B. C. D. 34. How does the writer develop his idea in paragraph ③? A. By giving instructions on how to use body language. B. By offering suggestions on when to use body language. C. By using examples of body language with different meanings. D. By comparing the difference between words and body language. 35. What special can we learn about the body language in Brazil? A. Nodding your head means “No”. B. It is impolite to use the gesture for “OK”. C. People hug each other when meeting their friends. D. Putting hands together on the side of your head means “sleepy”. 36.
