In fact, some researchers claim that 1 than half of a spoken message’s real meaning is in the words used in the message. They say that most of a message’s meaning comes from 2 how the speaker uses things like tone of voice and body language. Body language 3 such things as the expression on the speaker’s face, gestures the speaker makes with 4 hands, and the position of the speaker’s body. Just as there are many different languages spoken around the world, there are many ways for people to use body language, 5 . For example, gestures 6 have different meanings in different cultures. 7 a “thumbs up” sign in America means “Great!”. However, in Arab cultures, this gesture is offensive. And in India, 8 listeners want to show speakers that they understand, they won’t nod their heads. Instead, the listeners will move their heads 9 side to side. Although many gestures can be interpreted（解释）differently by different cultures, there are also many gestures 10 are almost universally（普遍地）interpreted the same way. For example, a large smile 11 as a sign of friendship or good will around the world. Also, using 12 open hand to gesture toward something is viewed as polite or friendly in most cultures. Body language experts point 13 one important thing. The person’s culture is only one factor that can influence his or her use of body language. The time and place where the body language is being used can have 14 to do with a person’s body language. If the person has had a bad day or if a meeting takes place in a crowded place, the body language a person uses may be very different that under 15 circumstances. 1．A．few B．fewer C．little D．less 2．A．understand B．understanding C．understood D．to understand 3．A．include B．includes C．included D．including 4．A．he B．him C．his D．himself 5．A．too B．either C．neither D．also 6．A．must B．may C．should D．need to 7．A．Make B．Made C．Making D．Makes 8．A．although B．if C．because D．so 9．A．between B．at C．from D．towards 10．A．who B．whom C．what D．that 11．A．understood B．is understood C．has understood D．is understanding 12．A．the B．a C．an D．/ 13．A．out B．at C．to D．in 14．A．lots of B．lot of C．a lot of D．a lot 15．A．other B．others C．another D．the other 二、完形填空(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) A woman in Yunnan has been trying her best to help children with autism (自闭症) in the past ten years.

We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence (寂静) of my beach-side house. Such a moment was not the first time for me. On Sam’s first day of kindergarten (幼儿园), I felt his stress (压力) when holding his hand. He looked at me—as he did now. But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college. He was sick but I didn’t know then. I thought he was just too tired. I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again, ________. Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy. Then he became the best baseball player in high school. His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair. I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent, but proud (自豪的) that later he chose English literature. One day, I told Sam I regretted (后悔) never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam decided to learn German in Berlin, even though his friends thought it was meaningless. The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything. What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? But as I stood before Sam, I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other. However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words. “Sam,” I said, “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” I wasn’t sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying “thank you”. My eyes misted over (模糊). Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home. What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing. But, it was everything. (adapted from Words from a Father) 26．Which of the following can be put at the end of Paragraph 2? A．I failed to say a word B．his illness worried me C．I decided to go abroad D．his growth pleased me 27．When Sam heard “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.”, he might feel ________. A．stressed B．sad C．calm D．excited 28．What does the writer mean by writing the last sentence “But, it was everything.” A．A father should care about his son’s education. B．A father should show deep love to his son. C．A son should take his father’s advice. D．A son should respect his father’s decision. 29．From the passage we know that ________. A．the son was unhappy with his father B．the father was proud of his son C．the father and the son should listen to each other carefully D．the father regretted picking English literature for his son B Nowadays, memes (表情包) are popular among the teenagers to show their feelings online. Sometimes they use memes more than the language. Which is a better way to communicate with others, memes or language? Zhang Han, a 14-year-old boy, shows his opinion: “When communicating online, I’m always glad to use the cute memes. But when it comes to my study, memes are useless. The language offers a richer way to show my feelings in writing. You know, everyone’s feelings are special. So I need to find different words and sentences.” “Then I tell myself to stop depending too much on memes. They are like snacks. Maybe they seem convenient and tasty, but they can’t substitute (代替 ) for a healthy meal. We shouldn’t communicate with each other only by using memes.” However, Kiara Amato, a French girl, has a different idea: “I’m not good at using the language. But I think it’s OK because I like painting. When I paint, I can show how I feel without using a lot of words. “Last term, I had to write a speech for my school. It was hard for me. But then I remembered my paint-brushes. So I painted how I felt. When I showed my painting to my teacher, she was surprised but began to enjoy it at once. Painting is my way to share feelings. “With more and more people communicating on the Internet, I believe it is helpful to use memes. These pictures provide a quick way to show ourselves online. Moreover, people from different countries can understand each other by using memes. They become a bridge over cultural differences. “We have many ways to show ourselves. Music lets us share our feelings with songs and words. Dance helps us tell stories with our bodies. Even photography and cooking are useful for us to express (表达) ourselves. These different ways show others who we are.” 30．What does “They” refer to in Paragraph 4? A．The memes. B．The paintings. C．The writings. D．The languages. 31．How many ways of showing ourselves are mentioned in the last paragraph? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 32．The purpose of writing the passage is ________. A．to ask people to stop using memes B．to remind people to use the language more often C．to encourage people to show their feelings in different ways D．to show different opinions on using the language and memes 33．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Language and Memes We Use. B．How to Use Language and Memes Online. C．Way to Communicate: The Language or Memes? D．Meme: A Popular Way of Communication Online. C Do you always feel lonely? When do you feel lonely? Is loneliness a good feeling? Nowadays more and more people are having this kind of feeling in their daily life. When someone feels lonely, he or she will have an experience of being alone because of low levels of social contact and relationships. There are two kinds of loneliness: emotional loneliness and social loneliness. Emotional loneliness is about the relationship between parents and their children. When children leave their parents for a while, they usually show the pain, such as crying and trying to search for their parents. Therefore, emotional loneliness is caused by leaving a person that someone is close to, such as a parent. On the other hand, social loneliness is the loneliness that one experiences when he or she leaves a wide social network. One doesn’t feel that he or she is a member of a group, or one doesn’t have friends to talk to when he or she is sad. Besides, loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone is about not having contact with people. But loneliness is a subjective experience: if people think they are lonely, then they are lonely. People can be lonely when they are alone, or in a group. What makes people lonely is the fact that they want more social interaction (社交). People can be in a group and feel lonely because they don’t get to talk to enough people. On the other hand, one can be alone and not feel lonely, though there is no one around him or her. That person is not lonely because maybe he or she doesn’t want to have social interaction at that time. So, what about you? Will you feel lonely if you stay alone? Or you just enjoy the time being with yourself. 34．Why did the writer start the passage with questions? A．To let readers answer these questions. B．To ask for more ideas about loneliness. C．To make readers interested in the passage. D．To check students’ understanding of loneliness. 35．From the passage, we can know both a person with emotional loneliness and one with social loneliness ________. A．have no friends to talk to B．have a small social network C．have a feeling of being lonely D．like to leave their parents 36．What does “a subjective experience” mean? A．A hot subject. B．A person’s own feeling. C．A pain in the body. D．A person’s special plan. 37．What can we learn from the third paragraph? A．One may not be lonely with nobody around. B．Being alone is an important reason of loneliness. C．Different people have the same level of social interactions. D．Staying with group members can make people feel less lonely.

We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence (寂静) of my beach-side house. Such a moment was not the first time for me. On Sam’s first day of kindergarten (幼儿园), I felt his stress (压力) when holding his hand. He looked at me—as he did now. But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college. He was sick but I didn’t know then. I thought he was just too tired. I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again, ________. Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy. Then he became the best baseball player in high school. His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair. I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent, but proud (自豪的) that later he chose English literature. One day, I told Sam I regretted (后悔) never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam decided to learn German in Berlin, even though his friends thought it was meaningless. The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything. What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? But as I stood before Sam, I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other. However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words. “Sam,” I said, “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” I wasn’t sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying “thank you”. My eyes misted over (模糊). Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home. What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing. But, it was everything. (adapted from Words from a Father) 26．Which of the following can be put at the end of Paragraph 2? A．I failed to say a word B．his illness worried me C．I decided to go abroad D．his growth pleased me 27．When Sam heard “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.”, he might feel ________.

But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college... I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life.”及“Again”可知，儿子每次进入人生重要的时刻，父亲都想说什么，但是都没说出口，这一次也一样，选项A“我一句话也没说”符合语境，故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据“Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying ‘thank you’.”可知，当Sam听到父亲的这句话后，向父亲走来，伸出双臂搂住了父亲，并说“感谢”，由此可见，Sam听后应该是很激动，故选D。 28．词句猜测题。根据“My father and I loved each other. However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words.”可知，作者和父亲彼此相爱，但作者总是遗憾自己从未听到过父亲对他表达任何感受，所以作者在儿子离开之前表达了自己对他的爱。通过这句话，作者想告诉大家，父亲应该向儿子表达深深的爱。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据“I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent, but proud (自豪的) that later he chose English literature.”可知，父亲对儿子感到骄傲，故选B。 B Nowadays, memes (表情包) are popular among the teenagers to show their feelings online. Sometimes they use memes more than the language. Which is a better way to communicate with others, memes or language? Zhang Han, a 14-year-old boy, shows his opinion: “When communicating online, I’m always glad to use the cute memes. But when it comes to my study, memes are useless. The language offers a richer way to show my feelings in writing. You know, everyone’s feelings are special. So I need to find different words and sentences.” “Then I tell myself to stop depending too much on memes. They are like snacks. Maybe they seem convenient and tasty, but they can’t substitute (代替 ) for a healthy meal. We shouldn’t communicate with each other only by using memes.” However, Kiara Amato, a French girl, has a different idea: “I’m not good at using the language. But I think it’s OK because I like painting. When I paint, I can show how I feel without using a lot of words. “Last term, I had to write a speech for my school. It was hard for me. But then I remembered my paint-brushes. So I painted how I felt. When I showed my painting to my teacher, she was surprised but began to enjoy it at once. Painting is my way to share feelings. “With more and more people communicating on the Internet, I believe it is helpful to use memes. These pictures provide a quick way to show ourselves online. Moreover, people from different countries can understand each other by using memes. They become a bridge over cultural differences. “We have many ways to show ourselves. Music lets us share our feelings with songs and words. Dance helps us tell stories with our bodies. Even photography and cooking are useful for us to express (表达) ourselves. These different ways show others who we are.” 30．What does “They” refer to in Paragraph 4? A．The memes. B．The paintings. C．The writings. D．The languages. 31．How many ways of showing ourselves are mentioned in the last paragraph? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 32．The purpose of writing the passage is ________. A．to ask people to stop using memes B．to remind people to use the language more often C．to encourage people to show their feelings in different ways D．to show different opinions on using the language and memes 33．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Language and Memes We Use. B．How to Use Language and Memes Online. C．Way to Communicate: The Language or Memes? D．Meme: A Popular Way of Communication Online. 【答案】30．A 31．B 32．C 33．C 【导语】本文就“表情包和语言，哪个是更好的沟通方式”分享了两个学生的看法。 30．词义猜测题。根据“Then I tell myself to stop depending too much on memes…Maybe they seem convenient and tasty, but they can’t substitute (代替 ) for a healthy meal.”可知，they指代前一句话中的memes，故选A。 31．细节理解题。根据“We have many ways to show ourselves. Music lets us share our feelings with songs and words. Dance helps us tell stories with our bodies. Even photography and cooking are useful for us to express (表达) ourselves.”可知，提到了“音乐，跳舞，摄影和烹饪”，故选B。 32．主旨大意题。根据“Which is a better way to communicate with others, memes or language?”以及最后一段可知，通过分享对“表情包和语言，哪个是更好的沟通方式”的看法，来鼓励人们用不同的方式来表达自己的情绪，故选C。 33．最佳标题题。根据“Which is a better way to communicate with others, memes or language?”及全文内容可知，本文就“表情包和语言，哪个是更好的沟通方式”分享了两个学生的看法，所以最适合本文的标题是：Way to Communicate: The Language or Memes，故选C。 C Do you always feel lonely? When do you feel lonely? Is loneliness a good feeling? Nowadays more and more people are having this kind of feeling in their daily life. When someone feels lonely, he or she will have an experience of being alone because of low levels of social contact and relationships. There are two kinds of loneliness: emotional loneliness and social loneliness. Emotional loneliness is about the relationship between parents and their children. When children leave their parents for a while, they usually show the pain, such as crying and trying to search for their parents. Therefore, emotional loneliness is caused by leaving a person that someone is close to, such as a parent. On the other hand, social loneliness is the loneliness that one experiences when he or she leaves a wide social network. One doesn’t feel that he or she is a member of a group, or one doesn’t have friends to talk to when he or she is sad. Besides, loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone is about not having contact with people. But loneliness is a subjective experience: if people think they are lonely, then they are lonely. People can be lonely when they are alone, or in a group. What makes people lonely is the fact that they want more social interaction (社交). People can be in a group and feel lonely because they don’t get to talk to enough people. On the other hand, one can be alone and not feel lonely, though there is no one around him or her. That person is not lonely because maybe he or she doesn’t want to have social interaction at that time. So, what about you? Will you feel lonely if you stay alone? Or you just enjoy the time being with yourself. 34．Why did the writer start the passage with questions? A．To let readers answer these questions. B．To ask for more ideas about loneliness. C．To make readers interested in the passage. D．To check students’ understanding of loneliness. 35．From the passage, we can know both a person with emotional loneliness and one with social loneliness ________. A．have no friends to talk to B．have a small social network C．have a feeling of being lonely D．like to leave their parents 36．What does “a subjective experience” mean? A．A hot subject. B．A person’s own feeling. C．A pain in the body. D．A person’s special plan. 37．What can we learn from the third paragraph? A．One may not be lonely with nobody around. B．Being alone is an important reason of loneliness. C．Different people have the same level of social interactions. D．Staying with group members can make people feel less lonely. 【答案】34．C 35．C 36．B 37．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了两种孤独情绪：情感孤独和社交孤独。 34．推理判断题。根据“Do you always feel lonely? When do you feel lonely? Is loneliness a good feeling? Nowadays more and more people are having this kind of feeling in their daily life”可知，作者在文章开头问了一些问题，目的是为了让我们对孤独产生好奇，引起读者的阅读兴趣。故选C。 35．推理判断题。根据“Therefore, emotional loneliness is caused by leaving a person that someone is close to, such as a parent.”和“On the other hand, social loneliness is the loneliness that one experiences when he or she leaves a wide social network. One doesn’t feel that he or she is a member of a group, or one doesn’t have friends to talk to when he or she is sad.”可知，情感孤独是由于缺乏一个情感上依恋的人，而社会孤独是一个人在痛苦的时候没有可以依靠的朋友。由此可知，这两种孤独的共同之处在于他们都是一个人，都很孤独。故选C。 36．词句猜测题。根据“if people think they are lonely, then they are lonely.”可知，如果人们认为他们是孤独的，那么他们就是孤独的。由此可猜测孤独是一种主观情绪。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据“On the other hand, one can be alone and not feel lonely, though there is no one around him or her.”可知，一个人可以独自一人而不感到孤独。故选A。 D A Child’s Introduction to Art: The World’s Greatest Paintings and Sculptures by Heather Alexander, US Are you interested in fine art?

Some of them can also communicate through simple sign language. Giraffes seldom make loud sounds. Male giraffes often use their necks to greet each other. 43 When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. 44 Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨叫声).
