When I was so tired that I didn’t want to work any longer, three people came to my desk—a tired woman and two children. “Are you all sick?” I asked. “Yes,” the woman answered and lowered her head. But when they started to tell their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was trying to cough. Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their information—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm. The family stayed together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency (急诊).” We took out our meals for our Christmas “sick people”. We also put oranges and apples together as presents. We tried to give them a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angels.” 29.

When I was so tired that I didn’t want to work any longer”可知，作者在无家可归的家庭出现前因节日加班感到疲惫和不情愿，由此可推出心情应是不开心的。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm.”可推断，这家人由于无家可归，而来医院取暖，并非真正生病。故选B。 【31题详解】 篇章结构题。本文是按照事情发生的顺序写的，根据第一段的“Three people came to my desk—a tired woman and two children.”、第五段的“I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them”、第六段开头的“The family stayed together under the Christmas tree”、第六段结尾的“All the nurses went into action for ‘a Christmas emergency (急).’”和第七段的“We tried to give them a warm place on Christmas night.”可知，正确顺序为：首先家庭到来，然后护士解释需等待医生，之后一家人在圣诞树下团聚，再之后护士们行动，最后护士们提供温暖帮助，即c-e-b-d-a。故选A。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并根据护士们的善举和女孩的感谢“Thanks for being our angels”可知，故事传递的核心信息是帮助需要帮助的人会带来快乐，即我们能从文章学习到我们应该善待那些需要帮助的人，这样我们会感到快乐。故选D。 (C) Students control shadow puppets when the singing voice of Liu Aibang echoes (回荡) across the classroom. They use thin sticks to make shadow puppets walk on the “stage”—a cloth screen. This is a Daoqing shadow puppetry class at Longdong University. Except Liu, the other performers of the show are all university students. Starting in the Han Dynasty, Daoqing shadow puppetry has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (国家非物质文化遗产名录) since 2006. For years, shadow plays were welcomed by people of all ages, and were often performed during the festivals. However, with films and soap operas becoming popular in the late 1980s, many performers moved on to other jobs. Liu faced the choice between protecting this art and making a good living, and he chose to stay on. One day in 2020, Liu received a phone call from Zhao Zhixue, head of the music school at Longdong University. Zhao told him that the school planned to introduce Daoqing shadow puppetry into college classrooms and develop young students’ long-term interest in this cultural heritage. Excited by the news, Liu left the farm and became a part-time teacher at the college. Liu hopes to train more young people. “Just as true love is not a one-man show, the learning and keeping of cultural heritage needs hard work from both the old and the young,” Liu said. 33. What can we know from the passage? A. All the performers are students from universities. B. Shadow puppet plays started in Song Dynasty. C. The “stage” is a white screen. D. The shadow puppets are controlled by students. 34. What did many performers do when films and soap operas became popular in the late 1980s? A. They left their home to find jobs in big cities. B. They moved on to other jobs. C. They went to the TV station to work there. D. They pull together to show in the cities. 35. How did Liu feel on hearing about the news from Zhao Zhixue? A. Excited. B. Sad. C. Amazed. D. Bored. 36. What’s the meaning of Liu’s words in the last paragraph? A. Everyone should learn to play shadow puppets. B. Everyone should spread our traditional culture to the world. C. Everyone should work hard to learn and keep cultural heritage. D. Everyone should write something about the cultural heritage 【答案】33. D 34. B 35. A 36.

Body language includes eye contact, walking postures, standing postures and gestures (手势). Body language can express all kinds of thoughts and feelings. Different cultures have different body language. Here are some common gestures in different cultures. In China, a thumb-up sign is used to praise someone for being “good”, “great” and “smart”. In America, a thumb-up sign means “It’s good” or “It’s OK” while a thumb-down sign means the opposite (相反的). ______. For example, in Japan, that also means “man”, “your father” and “the highest”. In South Korea, it also means “the chief”, “one’s own father”, “minister” and “captain”. In Australia, the United States, Mexico and other countries, it means “the fate of prayer (祈祷的命运)”. As for French people and Indians, this gesture can be used when asking for a ride. Point with your forefinger (食指). It is very impolite in Europe and America. British and American people make a circle with the thumb and forefinger and the other three fingers keep straight, which means “Excellent”. Put out your forefinger. In the United States, it’s used to ask someone to wait; French people ask for an answer by using this gesture; in Myanmar, it means “please”; in Singapore, it shows something or someone is the most important. Hold out your forefinger and middle finger and make the “V” word. “V” is the first letter of victory (胜利), so it means “victory” in Britain, France and other counties. But in Serbia, the gesture stands for “heroism” and in the Netherlands, it stands for “freedom”. Besides, the “OK” sign means “money” in Japan while it means bad behavior in Latin America. 37. What can be put back into the blank ________? A. However, other countries use other signs to express it. B. But in some countries, there are other meanings. C. The thumb-up sign has other different meanings in China. D. Besides, there are some other gestures having bad meanings. 38 What can we learn from the passage? A. The thumb-down sign may mean “It’s bad” or “I don’t agree” in America. B. People will be happy if you point with your forefinger in America. C. People in Singapore usually put out their forefingers to show “please”. D. The “OK” sign in Latin America has a different meaning from America. 39. What’s the structure of the passage? A. 12/3456 B. 1/23/456 C. 1/23456 D. 123456 40. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Different Meanings of Sign Languages B. Sign Languages in Western Countries C. Different Countries Have Different Cultures D. Body Language in the World is All Different 【答案】37. B 38. A 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文列举了几个常见的手势在不同文化中的意义。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For example, in Japan, that also means... In South Korea... In Australia... As for French people and Indians, this gesture can be used when asking for a ride.”可知，此处介绍竖大拇指在其他国家的意义，选项B“但是在一些国家，有其他的意思”符合语境。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In America, a thumb-up sign means ‘It’s good’ or ‘It’s OK’ while a thumb-down sign means the opposite”可知，在美国，大拇指向上的手势表示“很好”或“没关系”，而大拇指向下的手势则表示相反的意思，即“它不好”或者“我不同意”等。故选A。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。根据第一段中“Here are some common gestures in different cultures.”及全文内容可知，第一段总述不同文化中手势语含义不同，第二至六段列举了一下具体的手势语在不同文化中的含义，结构是总分结构。故选C。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。本文列举了几个常见的手势在不同文化中的意义，以选项A“手语的不同含义”为标题最合适。故选A。 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） What is small talk? ___41___ Small talk can also fill in empty silences.

I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was so tired that I didn’t want to work any longer, three people came to my desk—a tired woman and two children. “Are you all sick?” I asked. “Yes,” the woman answered and lowered her head. But when they started to tell their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was trying to cough. Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their information—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm. The family stayed together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a Christmas emergency (急诊).” We took out our meals for our Christmas “sick people”. We also put oranges and apples together as presents. We tried to give them a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for being our angels.” 29.

A. homeless people often tell lies B. homeless people easily get ill C. a hospital is a good place to spend Christmas night D. we should be kind to those in need, and we will feel happy (C) Students control shadow puppets when the singing voice of Liu Aibang echoes (回荡) across the classroom. They use thin sticks to make shadow puppets walk on the “stage”—a cloth screen. This is a Daoqing shadow puppetry class at Longdong University. Except Liu, the other performers of the show are all university students. Starting in the Han Dynasty, Daoqing shadow puppetry has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (国家非物质文化遗产名录) since 2006. For years, shadow plays were welcomed by people of all ages, and were often performed during the festivals. However, with films and soap operas becoming popular in the late 1980s, many performers moved on to other jobs. Liu faced the choice between protecting this art and making a good living, and he chose to stay on. One day in 2020, Liu received a phone call from Zhao Zhixue, head of the music school at Longdong University. Zhao told him that the school planned to introduce Daoqing shadow puppetry into college classrooms and develop young students’ long-term interest in this cultural heritage. Excited by the news, Liu left the farm and became a part-time teacher at the college. Liu hopes to train more young people. “Just as true love is not a one-man show, the learning and keeping of cultural heritage needs hard work from both the old and the young,” Liu said. 33. What can we know from the passage? A. All the performers are students from universities. B. Shadow puppet plays started in Song Dynasty. C. The “stage” is a white screen. D. The shadow puppets are controlled by students. 34. What did many performers do when films and soap operas became popular in the late 1980s? A. They left their home to find jobs in big cities. B. They moved on to other jobs. C. They went to the TV station to work there. D. They pull together to show in the cities. 35. How did Liu feel on hearing about the news from Zhao Zhixue? A. Excited. B. Sad. C. Amazed. D. Bored. 36. What’s the meaning of Liu’s words in the last paragraph? A. Everyone should learn to play shadow puppets. B. Everyone should spread our traditional culture to the world. C Everyone should work hard to learn and keep cultural heritage. D. Everyone should write something about the cultural heritage (D) Sign language is a kind of body language. Body language includes eye contact, walking postures, standing postures and gestures (手势). Body language can express all kinds of thoughts and feelings. Different cultures have different body language. Here are some common gestures in different cultures. In China, a thumb-up sign is used to praise someone for being “good”, “great” and “smart”. In America, a thumb-up sign means “It’s good” or “It’s OK” while a thumb-down sign means the opposite (相反的). ______. For example, in Japan, that also means “man”, “your father” and “the highest”. In South Korea, it also means “the chief”, “one’s own father”, “minister” and “captain”. In Australia, the United States, Mexico and other countries, it means “the fate of prayer (祈祷的命运)”. As for French people and Indians, this gesture can be used when asking for a ride. Point with your forefinger (食指). It is very impolite in Europe and America. British and American people make a circle with the thumb and forefinger and the other three fingers keep straight, which means “Excellent”. Put out your forefinger. In the United States, it’s used to ask someone to wait; French people ask for an answer by using this gesture; in Myanmar, it means “please”; in Singapore, it shows something or someone is the most important. Hold out your forefinger and middle finger and make the “V” word. “V” is the first letter of victory (胜利), so it means “victory” in Britain, France and other counties. But in Serbia, the gesture stands for “heroism” and in the Netherlands, it stands for “freedom”. Besides, the “OK” sign means “money” in Japan while it means bad behavior in Latin America. 37. What can be put back into the blank ________? A. However, other countries use other signs to express it. B. But in some countries there are other meanings. C. The thumb-up sign has other different meanings in China. D. Besides, there are some other gestures having bad meanings. 38. What can we learn from the passage? A. The thumb-down sign may mean “It’s bad” or “I don’t agree” in America. B. People will be happy if you point with your forefinger in America. C. People in Singapore usually put out their forefingers to show “please”. D. The “OK” sign in Latin America has a different meaning from America. 39. What’s the structure of the passage? A. 12/3456 B. 1/23/456 C. 1/23456 D. 123456 40. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Different Meanings of Sign Languages B. Sign Languages in Western Countries C. Different Countries Have Different Cultures D. Body Language in the World is All Different 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） What is small talk? ___41___ Small talk can also fill in empty silences.
