We are particularly interested in exploring how gestures, facial expressions, and body movements convey different meanings in various cultures. We would appreciate it if you could cover practical examples to help students understand and apply this knowledge in multicultural communication. Besides, a lively Q&A session will be arranged, so your interactive presentation style would be most welcome. We eagerly wait for your reply at your convenience. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） One possible version: Then, I walked towards the woman with hope. As I drew near, she turned back and was shocked to spot me. I apologized and explained our problem. Luckily, she could understand what I said. “Could you give us some directions? That is my friend,” I added, pointing to Doris, who was still under that tree. The woman managed a friendly nod and a gentle smile. She seemed to relax as she inspected us and asked where we were trying to go. Then she attempted to give us directions in understandable English. 　 I found her explanation of directions only confused us, however hard she tried. Then the woman suggested, “Get ... in car, and ... I take you back.” We hesitated, concerned about soiling her car seats with our wet clothes and bags, but the kind stranger insisted. Our exhaustion got the better of us, so we accepted her offer. To our excitement, soon we reached our hotel. When we offered her fees, she just declined and wished us a good night. Waving goodbye to her, we watched her drive away into the darkness. Although we were cold, our hearts were warm. 附：录音稿原文 (Text 1) M: I’ll attend a lecture on Wednesday. Let’s discuss this further at the Friday meeting. W: Unfortunately, I’ll be leaving for London Thursday afternoon. Maybe we can talk that morning over breakfast. M: Sounds great. (Text 2) M: Honey, what do you think of this kind of wooden chair for our restaurant? W: It looks great, but it’s kind of small. Just like the chairs in my company. How about this green one here? (Text 3) M: You look upset. What’s wrong? W: I’ll never take my car downtown again. M: Did you get another ticket or couldn’t you find a parking space? W: I wish it were just that. My car was broken into. I lost my purse. (Text 4) W: Excuse me. I’m afraid I get lost. Could you tell me where I can take a bus or a train to Holiday Inn? M: I think you’d better take a taxi in case you get lost again. (Text 5) M: I find that you didn’t turn in your homework today. W: I’m sorry. M: Is everything OK? We’ve been in school for four months now, and this is the first time you haven’t done your homework. W: I’ve been a little stressed by my grandma’s death. (Text 6) W: Hi, Paul. You look unhappy. M: My computer went wrong this morning and I have to get a paper finished for class on Monday. W: You can always go to the library. M: The library isn’t open on Saturday afternoons and Sundays and I have to take care of my baby sister this morning. W: That’s a problem. My family is having friends over this afternoon so it won’t be possible for you to come to my place. I can lend you my computer. M: Wow, Sally, that’s great. (Text 7) M: Hi, Judy. Did you see this notice in the dining hall? W: Yeah, Sam. I don’t like it. I usually sit here and talk with my friends after lunch until my first class at 2 in the afternoon. Now we have to find some place else to go. M: But we have lots of other places to go. We can go to the school park. W: That means carrying all my books. M: But they explain this will help keep the cost of food down, and we can save some extra money. (Text 8) W: Hi, Jeff. How was your weekend? M: It was great. Mary, how was yours? W: My mother’s birthday was Saturday and we had a great time. We had dinner at home and then watched an old movie. When they told me it was almost seventy years old, I thought it was going to be boring, but it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. I laughed. I cried. I got angry. M: Wow! Now I want to see it. W: I’m dying to watch it again. Hey, why don’t we get together and have a party and we can see the movie together? M: That’s a great idea. I can bring some friends, if that’s OK. W: Sure. I’ll ask my mum to watch it with us. She can tell us all about the stars. Let’s say 6 o’clock on Saturday. (Text 9) M: OK. I got my vacation early this year so as soon as school’s out, the first of June, we have two weeks to have fun. We’ve talked about this before and have chosen two possibilities: a trip across Canada or explore Florida. Which will it be? W: I’d like to go to Florida. I’ve always wanted to visit Orlando. M: We should get on the Internet and check flight schedules as soon as possible. I remember a ticket costs $500. They may still have that promotion where a second person flies for half price. That means the four of us can go for the cost of three. W: Orlando, here we come! But we won’t spend the whole two weeks there, will we? I heard St Augustine was cool. And there’s Daytona Beach where you can drive on the beach. M: Your mother and I will take care of the driving and make hotel reservations so you and Tim will plan the sightseeing. Is that a deal? W: Yeah! Great! M: Only one rule. Each person gets to take one suitcase. W: But I have a lot of clothes I want to take. M: I’ll help you pack. (Text 10) W: Planning a schedule that includes time for studies, sports, part-time work and free time can be a challenge. Today we have Dr Tony with us to talk about how to plan a schedule. M: Well, the good way to start is to make a plan for each day of the week and then try to balance your time so you can include everything. Here are some guidelines that may help you. First, we start with the twenty-four hours we all have in every day. If we take out eight hours for our sleep time, that leaves sixteen hours to divide among the other activities. Attendance at school takes about six hours and homework about two, for a total of eight. That leaves us eight hours for sports, work and free time. Remember, those guidelines are flexible and you must adjust them to your particular needs. Weekends are different since we don’t have to attend school. Here we can usually focus on certain activities such as sports or part-time work and free time. We can see our friends and spend more time with our family. If you make a schedule and try to keep to it, you will soon develop the habit of doing each task during its planned time and will be satisfied that you can comfortably do everything you have to do. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024~2025学年度第一学期期中教学质量检测 高二英语试题 2024.11 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自已的处名、为生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位乳上。 2.回答选拼题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标易。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡 上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）》 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出 最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关 小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

C Sometimes it seems anti-pollution and recycling efforts are a long road to nowhere.That's how engineer Toby McCartney felt until visiting India in 2016 While on the trip,he worked with a group filling holes on roads by combining waste plastics.diesel (fuel,and fire. Plastic has been used to construct roads in India since the turn of the century-and McCartney realized the idea could be applied to road construction in other countries,"to solve two world problems:plastic waste,and on the other side the poor quality of roads we have to drive on today." Upon returning home to Scotland,he started experimenting,melting down various combinations of consumer plastics on his kitchen stove ()After going through over 500 different combinations of waste plastics,he found materials that worked and founded a company named MacRebur to start building their plastic-improved roads. In MacRebur,waste plastics are broken down into small pieces and replace 20%of the oil-based bitumen (that is used on traditional roads.More importantly,the mixed material is up to 60%stronger,up to three times longer-lasting,and has huge environmental benefits. According to McCartney,each mile of road laid with his company's product uses almost 1.2 million single-use plastic bags or 80,000 plastic bottles. McCartney is sure that plastics in roads will not wash back into our rivers and oceans when it rains.Since the plastic is safely sandwiched between stone and bitumen,it can't easily reenter the environment."All our plastics are heated to 180C,"says McCartney."They then fully coalesce with the remaining bitumen in the road,so there is no micro-plastic present in any of our roads.” "At the end of the day plastic is a great product,"McCartney says."It lasts long.which is a problem if it's a waste product,but not a problem if we want it to last." 高二英语试题第5页（共10页） 28.What do we know nbout MeCnrtney during his stuy in Indi.?

D.Its ponslble npplications, 30.What does the underlined word "coalesco"in Parngrnph 4 probubly meun? A.Mix. B.Deal, C.Compnre. D.Compete. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Plastics Lcad to Significant Cost Savings B.Old Indian Ronds will be the Best Choice C.Engineer Invents New Plastic that Lasts Longer D.Waste Plastics may Build the Roads of Future D Imagine you're looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedin:"These companics are looking for professionals like you!"You aren't necessarily searching for a jub,but you're always open to opportunitics,so out of curiosity,you click on the link.A few minutes lator,your boss appears at your desk."We've noticed that you're spending more time on LinkedIn lately,so I wanted to talk with you about your carcer and whether you're happy here,"she says.Uh-oh. It's an awkward scenc.Employee turnover has always been cxpensive for companies,but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising,owing to tight labor (markets. Thus companies are strengthening their efforts to predict which workers arc at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them.Methods range from electronic monitor to examining employees'social media activities. Some of this work may be a reason to cause employees to quit.In general,people leave their jobs because they don't see opportunities for promotion or growth,or arc offered a higher pay.These reasons have held steady for years. New research conducted by CEB,a Washington-based technology company,suggests that what really affects workers is their sense of how they're doing compared with other people in their group,or with where they thought they should be at a certain point in life. Some companies,like Credit Suisse,deal with employees who might quit in a specific way: call these employees to tell them about job vacancies within the company.In 2023,Credit Suisse lowered the number of employees leaving by 1%and moved 300 cmployces,many of whom might otherwise have left,into new positions.Credit Suisse cstimates that it saved $75 million in rehiring and training costs. Forward-thinking intervention is a better way to deal with employees'wandering eyes than waiting for someone to get an offer and then making a counteroffer. 高二英语试题第6页（共10页) R2 Whnt is LinkedIn according to the text?
