以下是各题的答案和解析: 一、语法选择 1. B 解析:“Body language”是不可数名词,作主语时谓语动词用单数形式,“include”的第三人称单数形式是“includes”。 2. C 解析:“ways for sb. to do sth.”表示“某人做某事的方式”,所以用“to use”。 3. C 解析:前文说在美国“thumbs up”表示“Great!”,后文说在阿拉伯文化中这个手势是冒犯的,前后是转折关系,用“But”。 4. B 解析:“if”表示“如果”,引导条件状语从句,“If the listeners want to show speakers that they understand...”如果听众想向演讲者表明他们理解。 5. C 解析:修饰名词“heads”用形容词性物主代词“their”。 6. A 解析:“many”修饰可数名词复数,“gestures”是复数,“more”用于比较级,“most”用于最高级,此处没有比较,用“many”。 7. B 解析:“a large smile”与“understand”是被动关系,用被动语态,且这是一般情况,用一般现在时的被动语态“is understood”。 8. C 解析:“open”是以元音音素开头,用“an”。 9. C 解析:“a person's”表示“一个人的”,“person”是单数,“persons'”是复数的所有格,此处是单数,用“person's”。 10. A 解析:“be different from...”表示“与......不同”,是固定短语。 二、短文填空 1. their 解析:修饰名词“listening skills”用形容词性物主代词“their”。 2. by 解析:“step by step”表示“一步一步地”。 3. useful 解析:“It is not useful to do sth.”表示“做某事没用”。 4. until 解析:“not...until...”表示“直到......才......”。 5. change 解析:“Don't change books often.”不要经常换书。 6. because 解析:表示原因,“because”因为。 7. news 解析:“listen to the English news”听英语新闻。 8. first 解析:“first”首先。 9. understand 解析:“it + be + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth.”,“understand”理解。 10. listen 解析:“listen to”听,祈使句用动词原形。
