Mr.Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they can’t speak the native tongue, based on his own experience. Here are a few of them. Download a Language Translation App Mr.Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them. Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you are not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing. Speak with Your Hands and Head Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr.Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with the locals in the country you’re in.“Gestures are all universally understood,” he said. Learn a Few Key Words Knowing basic words, phrases and sentences like “hello”“thank you” and “I’m sorry, I can’t speak your language. Can you speak English?” is a must. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don’t know more, is a form of respect and will make you go a long way to be liked by the locals. 　　Work with a Local Travel Agent If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re heading to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your language and your destination’s language can be incredibly useful. Hire a Local Tour Guide A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language,” he said. 1.In what situation should a language translation app be applied while traveling abroad? A.When you have trouble pronouncing the words. B.When you want to acknowledge your ignorance. C.When you want to practice the local language. D.When you feel uncomfortable in the country you􀆳re heading to. 2.What is the easiest way to communicate with foreigners according to the text? A.Downloading a language translation app. B.Learning a few key words. C.Using body language. D.Working with a guide. 3.How can you better understand the local language? A.By speaking with your hands and head. B.By learning a few key words. C.By downloading a language translation app. D.By hiring a local tour guide. B About 20 years ago, while on the way to a student's house, Zhang Guimei, then a rural teacher in Huaping county, Lijiang, Yunnan province, noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married though she wanted to go to school. It was arranged by her parents. Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition herself. However, they didn't agree. Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. “We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn't even have a chance to get on the track,” Zhang said. It persuaded Zhang to build a free high school for girls with the objective of helping break the cycle that saw women drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the remote mountain. Zhang had spent years trying to raise funds, and in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school, was founded, where Zhang is the principal. Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students' families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school. It has been worth it. More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college. It is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn't perform well in academic study before the school was established. Though lacking full health, Zhang insists on a daily routine—get up around 5 a.m. to call students to get up with a loudspeaker, accompany students to classes and sleep after senior students' study ends at midnight. Zhang's husband died in the 1990s. She doesn't have children or a house, so she lives at the student dormitory. Besides girls in her school, Zhang also donates all her income to help rural education and poor people. In early December, she was given the honor of the country's “role model for teachers” and “outstanding woman”. Her commitment to her education career inspires thousands of people. 4.Why did Zhang feel sorry when the girl's parents refused to let the girl return to school? A.The girl's family was too poor to pay for her tuition fees. B.The girl had to marry a man who was much older than her. C.The girl didn't even have the chance to complete her education. D.The girl was unable to find a high school nearby to continue her education. 5.What is probably the biggest challenge for Zhang to build the free school for girls? A.Not many girls want to attend this school. B.Few parents support their girls' going to school. C.The local government didn't offer the land for the school. D.It was not easy for Zhang to get enough money to build the school. 6.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.Most students didn't study well before Huaping High School for Girls was founded. B.Huaping High School for Girls was founded. C.Many girls can go to Huaping High School for Girls for free. D.Many girls from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to college. 7.What is the main idea of this passage? A.A teacher shows girls how to reach the top. B.Let girls stand on the same starting line. C.Inspiring stories of girls' education. D.Huaping High School for Girls. C The sun was rising as we drove across the Minnesota state line to New York for my new Ph.D. program. The move was good for me professionally, but I worried about my husband and daughters. I also feared that I wouldn't be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved. Anne, our first daughter, came into the world when I was a junior majoring in biology in college. It was challenging to balance classes, work schedules, and being a mom. But I got it through, finding moments of delight along the way. On the nights when I was at home, I'd read my class notes out loud with my daughter. She'd respond by asking questions, such as “Mom, what are bacteria?” It helped us both learn. After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted. I arrived in New York feeling more than the usual new⁃grad⁃student anxiety. I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was selfish—my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long⁃term negative impacts on my kids. Over the past year, though, I've started to let go of some of the worry. I've realized that not only have we adapted to our new situation, but things are getting better. My husband has landed a job that he is happy with. Anne has dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, “Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.” Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it's also rewarding. My kids are learning to look at the world through the lens of science, and watching their mom succeed inspires them. I look forward to seeing them follow in my footsteps, whatever path they choose. 8.How did the writer feel about the move for her Ph.D. program? A.It was fruitful but exhausting.　　　　 B.It was the last thing she would do. C.It was hopeful but challenging. D.It was promising for the whole family. 9.Which can best replace the underlined word “invigorate” in Paragraph 3? A.Promote.　　　　B.Change.　　　　C.Create.　　　　D.Choose. 10.What could be inferred from Anne's words in Paragraph 4? A.People are afraid of having cancer.　　　　B.Cancer is the No.1 enemy of health. C.Her mother takes her job seriously.　　　　D.Anne is proud of her mother. 11.What could be the best title of the text? A.Onwards and Upwards　　　　B.Double Gains of Mom's Pursuit C.Like Mother, Like Daughter　　　　D.The Generation Gap Narrowed by Love D Who is a genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let's state clearly:Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.”Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesn't take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not. Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 12.What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club? A.They're unfair.　　　　 B.They're conservative.　　　　 C.They're objective.　　　 D.They're strict. 13.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A.They think themselves smart.　　　　 B.They look up to great thinkers. C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.　　　　 D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs. 14.Why are more geniuses known to the public? A.Improved global communication.　　　　 B.Less discrimination against women. C.Acceptance of victors' concepts.　　　　 D.Changes in people's social positions. 15.What is the best title for the text? A.Geniuses Think Alike　　　　 B.Genius Takes Many Forms C.Genius and Intelligence　　　 D.Genius and Luck 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Regardless of how old you are, where you live, or what your career goals are, your final objectives in life are likely to be happy and successful. 　16　.

She was not young, holding a basket with bunches of flowers. “Would you like the flowers—they are $3?” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded,“No, thank you,” as I walked away and went inside the supermarket. I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold and holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands... I had my own personal struggles—I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn't my first thought when she had asked me to buy her flowers. My first thought was that I didn't have cash but this couldn't be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same. When I went to the register to pay with my card, I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account. And at the same time, she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Breathing a sigh of relief, I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 2: I gave her the $3 but was surprised when she handed me change. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit4 Body Language 【单元测试 · 提升卷】 全卷满分120分　考试用时100分钟 第一部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language.

I also feared that I wouldn’t be able to give my kids the childhood they deserved.(这次搬家对我的职业生涯有好处,但我担心我的丈夫和女儿们。我也担心我不能给我的孩子们应有的童年。)”可推断出,作者认为因她的博士项目而搬家既是充满希望的,也是具有挑战性的。故选C。 9.A　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“After I graduated, I knew that I would need a Ph.D. to land the kind of job I wanted.”可知,作者决定读博士来获得自己想要的工作。根据画线词所在句“I also suffered from a more personal fear that I was selfish—my decision to invigorate my career was going to have long⁃term negative impacts on my kids.”可知,作者担心自己对学业和事业的追求会给孩子造成不好的影响。由此可知,此处的decision指的是作者做的促进事业发展的决定,则“my decision to invigorate my career”意为“我的促进事业发展的决定”。由此可知画线词“invigorate”意为“促进”,故选A。 10.D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Recently, while driving past the cancer institute I work at, Anne said, ‘Thinking about people having cancer is so sad, but I feel better knowing that you are researching it to help.’(最近,当开车经过我工作的癌症研究所时,安妮说:‘想到得了癌症的人让我很难过,但知道你在研究癌症来帮助他们,我感觉好多了。’)”可知,安妮觉得作者的工作很有价值,因此安妮为作者感到骄傲,故选D。 11.B　主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The move was good for me professionally, but...the childhood they deserved.”和倒数第二段中的“Over the past year, though, I’ve started to let go of some of the worry...Anne has dreamed of becoming a marine biologist.”及最后一段中的“Navigating academia as a young mother is hard, but it’s also rewarding.”可知,本文主要讲述了作者为了攻读博士学位搬家,但她担心丈夫和女儿不适应新环境,但最后的结果很好,丈夫找到了新工作,女儿也在她的影响下有了梦想和追求,自己也在工作领域发展得很好。故B项(妈妈的追求的双重收获)为本文最佳标题。 【高频词汇】　1.professionally adv.在职业上;在工作上 2.deserve v.应得;值得　3.balance v.同等重视;使保持平衡;权衡　4.anxiety n.焦虑　5.let go of放弃;舍弃(感情、态度、控制权);松开;放开　6.adapt to适应 7.marine adj.海洋的　8.rewarding adj.值得做的;有益的　9.follow in one’s footsteps仿效某人 【熟词生义】　land v.成功得到;赢得 D Who is a genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let's state clearly:Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.”Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesn't take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not. Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 12.What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club? A.They're unfair.　　　　 B.They're conservative.　　　　 C.They're objective.　　　 D.They're strict. 13.What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A.They think themselves smart.　　　　 B.They look up to great thinkers. C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.　　　　 D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs. 14.Why are more geniuses known to the public? A.Improved global communication.　　　　 B.Less discrimination against women. C.Acceptance of victors' concepts.　　　　 D.Changes in people's social positions. 15.What is the best title for the text? A.Geniuses Think Alike　　　　 B.Genius Takes Many Forms C.Genius and Intelligence　　　 D.Genius and Luck 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了过去人们对天才的定义标准存在着诸如性别、种族和信仰等歧视,随着越来越多来自各地的天才为人所知,人们对天才的固有认知将被打破。 12.A　本题为推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句“It􀆳s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.”可知,胜利者为天才俱乐部设定了入会标准。当俱乐部之外的天才做出贡献时,他们是不会被认可的,而且会被其他人拒绝。由此可推断出这样的标准是不公平的。 13.D　本题为推理判断题。根据第四段第一、二句“A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender are ‘really, really smart.’ Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are ‘really, really smart.’”可知,女孩在六岁时可能就形成了一个不说自己的同性非常非常聪明的习惯,而且她们在六岁时就开始避免参加为“非常非常聪明的”孩子们准备的活动。由此可以推出她们可能受社会观念的影响。 14.A　本题为细节理解题。由最后一段第二句“In a wired world with constant global communication,we􀆳re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.”可知,随着持续的全球交流,会有更多天才被公众知道,故选A。 15.B　本题为主旨大意题。由最后一段最后两句“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with ‘intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.’”可知,社会因素,比如性别、种族、阶级,并不能决定天才的出现。未来的天才来自那些拥有智慧、创造力、毅力以及单纯的好运气的人,即天才有很多种类型。 长难句 原句　As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 分析　本句是一个主从复合句。“As a writer says”是As引导的非限制性定语从句;“who are able to change the world”是who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词those(指人)。 译文　正如一位作家所说的,未来的天才来自那些有“智慧、创造力、毅力和单纯的好运气的人,他们能够改变世界”。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Regardless of how old you are, where you live, or what your career goals are, your final objectives in life are likely to be happy and successful. 　16　.

Thanks for your listening. Body Language Good morning, everyone! I'm glad to have the chance to share my view on “Body Language”. Body language is of great importance when it comes to communicating with others. On various occasions, it conveys more than the words we speak. Accordingly, proper body language assists us in leaving a good impression on others. As for me, I prefer to smile when communicating with someone. A smile can narrow the distance between us. It goes without saying that it is much easier for us to make approaches to people with a smile. Besides, a smile makes our communication joyful. Body language is significant in communication, but we should use it in a proper way. That's all. Thanks for your listening.  第二节(满分25分) Most passers⁃by noticed the lady standing in the bone⁃chilling cold outside of the supermarket. She was not young, holding a basket with bunches of flowers. “Would you like the flowers—they are $3?” she asked me as I was walking past. I politely responded,“No, thank you,” as I walked away and went inside the supermarket. I was walking around the supermarket searching for the thing that I was needing to buy and thinking of that lady, standing in the cold and holding her basket of flowers. Visualizing the beautiful flowers, her polite quiet voice and lonely figure, I wondered about her unknown story of standing in the cold with her basket. Maybe her family was in urgent need of money; maybe she was a lone soul to earn a living with her own hands... I had my own personal struggles—I had to budget for everything and I appreciated that $3 was a lot for me, like many of us all and probably for her too. But it wasn't my first thought when she had asked me to buy her flowers. My first thought was that I didn't have cash but this couldn't be used as an excuse for not buying those flowers. I had not carried cash with me for a few years and I thought many of us did the same. When I went to the register to pay with my card, I asked for $3 cash out. The staff member questioned me about the $3. I felt anxious about it quickly and tried to remember the money I had in my account. And at the same time, she pressed the button to process it. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy flowers from the lady who was selling them outside. Breathing a sigh of relief, I was glad to see it all had been accepted by the machine and the staff member handed me the $3. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 2: I gave her the $3 but was surprised when she handed me change. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Paragraph 1: After walking out of the supermarket, I headed to the lady. She was standing there, trembling in the cold. No sooner had she noticed my approach than her weather⁃beaten face lit up. I said shyly, “I would like to buy some of your flowers.” On hearing that, she instantly put the basket of flowers in front of me, wearing a big and warm smile. The flowers were in full bloom, dancing in the wind. I chose the bunch of flowers I had first sighted. Paragraph 2: I gave her the $3 but was surprised when she handed me change. I couldn’t help but ask the price of the flowers. “$3 for all!” she explained. Without hesitation, I told her to keep the change. She took the money with shaking hands, tears welling up in her eyes. As I walked away, I hoped someone else could walk up to her and buy the rest flowers. We were all going through our own struggles but no matter how little we could do, it would make a difference. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
