A
We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture (手势) Ruin Your Day.
English is an international language. But in your book, communication without words is paid more attention to. ▲
June:Well, gestures and other body languages have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
June:In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?
June:Take the gesture for “Come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm(掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right? What about the thumb-up(翘拇指)gesture for “great”?
June:Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences.
16.Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
A.How is it going? B.Why is that so important?
C.Can you give us some examples? D.Could it make readers interested?
17.What does June mean by saying “my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot”?
A.Her readers won’t hurt others. B.Her readers won’t have a bad start.
C.Her readers won’t know how to walk. D.Her readers will always know where to go.
18.Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye” in southern Europe?
A. B. C. D.
19.According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned in June’s book?
A.Some common gestures. B.Different meanings of a gesture.
C.The importance of body language. D.The development of body language.
20.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.A light handshake is quite polite in North America.
B.June mainly talks about the English language in her book.
C.The book is helpful to those who often travel around the world.
D.If you want to say “great” to an Australian, just make a thumb-up gesture.

I was in a strange city and I didn’t know the city at all. And what’s more, I couldn’t speak a word of the language. After having spent the first day in the town center, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I was sure that this was the better way of getting to know the strange city. I got on the first bus in the morning, rode on it for several stops, and then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed happily enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that was pronounced badly.
I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. Then I met a policeman. I asked him at once. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking on.
About an hour passed and I found that the houses were getting fewer and green fields could be seen on either side of me.
The thing left for me to do was to find the nearest bus stop.
21.The writer preferred to walk back to his hotel at first because .
A.he had no money to buy a ticket B.he wanted to lose himself in the city

22.The newspaper seller .

C.helped him find the hotel D.didn’t want to take the money
23.What was the writer’s real trouble?
A.He was tired and hungry.
B.He didn’t know the language.
C.He forgot the name of the street.
D.He took the wrong bus and found himself in a strange place.
24.The policeman .
A.wouldn’t like to tell him the way B.told him to take a bus
C.couldn’t understand the writer D.told him to walk on
25.Which of the following is TRUE?

C.The writer had to stay in the country for the night.
D.The writer followed the policeman and returned to the town center.

Have you met someone who kept talking and talking, and you couldn’t get them to stop? You don’t want to be impolite by telling them to shut up, but you really want to get out of the conversation. Here are some ways to help you.
Use body language. While it may feel impolite, you could turn away, leave your headphones on, and avoid looking at his or her eyes, which will show that you don’t want to talk. This may save you from directly telling someone to stop talking later on.
Keep working on whatever activity you are doing. Get up and move around, be active and find little things to do instead of listening.
Interrupt them as soon as you can. Saying things like “I’d like to add something” or “If I could interrupt you for just a minute” will often let someone know that they are talking too much.
Lead the conversation. This is especially helpful when dealing with someone you often talk to. Let them know that you heard what they said and guide the conversation in a different direction.
Mention that you don’t have a lot of time to talk. Expressions like “I would love to chat(聊天) but I have to go for a movie right now” and “Today’s not a great day to talk. I have a lot of tasks” will make you easily end the conversation.
Remember it is a skill to back out of a conversation without saying “You are boring. Shut up.”
26.How many suggestions does the writer mention in the text?
A.Three. B.Four. C.Five. D.Six.
27.Which of the following is the best way to make someone stop talking?
A.Saying someone is boring. B.Getting up and finding something else to do.
C.Looking at him or her and listening carefully. D.Leaving your headphones off and keep smiling.
28.What does the underlined word “Interrupt” mean in Chinese?
A.离开 B.打断 C.倾听 D.接受
29.What can we know according to the text?
A.We can end a conversation easily.
B.Don’t stop talking until someone ends it.
C.To end a conversation politely, we need to get skills.
D.It’s impolite to guide a conversation in a different direction.
30.What’s the best title for the text?
A.How to End a Conversation Politely B.Polite Ways to Start a Conversation
C.How to Lead and Guide a Conversation D.Body Language Helps Express Well

Walk two miles, and then you will find a movie theater and China Bank is across from the theater.” After listening to someone providing directions in English, are you clear? Here is some advice to help you remember the directions.
33 Repeat each direction the person gives. This will help you remember the names of street, turns, and crossings. Finally, repeat the whole set of directions again.

This was my first visit to the airport. I knew I should go to the check-in counter(柜台)first but I didn’t know 36 it was. I tried asking a passing businessman for help, but 37 to make myself understood. He just walked away quickly. I had been in this country for several months, but I could not even remember how to ask for 38 . How terrible! Another bus arrived and the passengers came out. Here was my chance. I could follow 39 to the right place. I wouldn’t have to say a word.
I finally reached the elevator(电梯). Oh, no! There was not enough space for me. I got 40 the elevator when it returned and looked at all the buttons(按钮). Which one could it be? I chose Button 3. The elevator slowly climbed up to the 41 floor and stopped.
Tears filled my eyes as I saw the empty(空的) hall. Just then one of the staff members appeared. He said he was a guard there and asked 42 if I needed any help. Then he led me down a long hallway. We walked up some stairs, turned a comer, and finally got to the check-in counter.
When I turned 43 him, the man was gone. 44 I will never know that kind man’s name, I will always remember his help. I only hope that one day I can do the same for another 45 who has the same experience as me.
四、任务型阅读(10分)
Asking for directions is important. However, people become confused(困惑的) easily when listening to someone giving directions. So pay careful attention when listening to someone showing directions. For example, he or she may tell you, “Go down the street and turn right at the first crossing. Walk two miles, and then you will find a movie theater and China Bank is across from the theater.” After listening to someone providing directions in English, are you clear? Here is some advice to help you remember the directions.
Be sure to ask the person giving directions to slow down or repeat politely;
Repeat each direction the person gives. This will help you remember the names of street, turns, and crossings;
Finally, repeat the whole set of directions again.
Of course, remember to be polite when you ask for directions. Here come two tips:
·Use greetings and polite expressions. Staring the conversation with a greeting is a must like “Good afternoon!” or “Hello! May I ask for some help?” Remember to finish with expressions such as “Thank you!” or “Have a nice day!”
·Use modal verbs(情态动词). For example, it sounds more polite to say, “Excuse me, would you like to tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore?” But it sounds impolite if you say, “Tell me the way to Xinhua Bookstore.”
46.What should people do when they listen to someone giving directions?
47.Where is the bank according to the first paragraph?
48.What is the chart about?
49.According to the last two paragraphs, how to be polite when people ask for directions?
50.How can you ask the way if you want to go to the washroom?

Use body language. While it may feel impolite, you could turn away, leave your headphones on, and avoid looking at his or her eyes, which will show that you don’t want to talk. This may save you from directly telling someone to stop talking later on.
Keep working on whatever activity you are doing. Get up and move around, be active and find little things to do instead of listening.
Interrupt them as soon as you can. Saying things like “I’d like to add something” or “If I could interrupt you for just a minute” will often let someone know that they are talking too much.
Lead the conversation. This is especially helpful when dealing with someone you often talk to. Let them know that you heard what they said and guide the conversation in a different direction.
Mention that you don’t have a lot of time to talk. Expressions like “I would love to chat(聊天) but I have to go for a movie right now” and “Today’s not a great day to talk. I have a lot of tasks” will make you easily end the conversation.
Remember it is a skill to back out of a conversation without saying “You are boring. Shut up.”

27.Which of the following is the best way to make someone stop talking?

Dear John,
Let me tell you the way to the Report Hall. Turn left after you enter the school gate. Turn left again at the first corner. Go straight down this road until you reach the Science Building and turn left. You can see the Report Hall behind the Science Building.
The report will start at 9 a.m. on the day of the Art Festival. There will be other activities on that day. If you have artistic talent, you can show yourself in a talent show. A trade meeting will be held in the afternoon. Maybe you can sell or buy something made by ourselves. You can go to the school office for more information about the festival.
Yours,
Li Ping
