Whichever service activity you choose, you have the right to make a difference and create a real change in the community! Join the Volunteer Service Center today!

Education Service D. An Expedition B When people communicate, they use body language more than words. People’s body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with their words, their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth, try watching their hands. A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms (手掌) towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly. When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or trying to hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can’t afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose. Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face their listeners, they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people’s honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to. Human body language, emotion, and communication are directly connected. By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth. 49. What does the underlined phrase “open up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. 敞开心扉 B. 开辟 C. 产生 D. 取得 50. What do people usually unconsciously do when they lie? A. They tend to hide their feet. B. They tend to shake your hands. C. They tend to hide their palms. D. They tend to turn their palms towards you. 51. Someone is probably lying when he or she is ________. A. touching the nose B. using open-palm gestures C making eye contact with you D. sharing important information 52. Talking with your palms open will encourage others to ________. A. behave actively B. gesture carefully C. be honest with you D. forget their pressure C When I was younger I hated languages. My father could speak several languages. He was sure that I could also be good at languages. With his encouragement, I decided to go to Chile to learn Spanish. At the weekend, I did a part-time job. I worked in a school for disabled children in a class of six. Only two children in the class could speak, and neither of them could do it well. But I realized slowly that every child could communicate. Some of them used body language to express themselves. Others used their voices — they made noises. The noises changed when they had different feelings. They even “talked” to each other, having quarrels (争吵) and friendly chats like anyone else. None of the children in that room could say a single sentence. But they had a strong personality (个性), likes and dislikes, wishes and fears that they communicated every day. Slowly, I learned not only Spanish but the language of every one of the children I cared for. It was encouraging to see these children chatting with each other comfortably. I had been making excuses for not trying all these years. And here were a group of disabled children showing me how important communication was. It really made me want to learn Spanish. In this way, I could express my personality in the way that they had learned to do. From then on, I spent my evenings studying Spanish after work. I felt excited when I knew a new word. When I arrived in Chile, I couldn’t say a single word. But when I left I could happily have a conversation. My life was going in a different direction. I learned from those children that communication could open doors like something else — doors to friendship, happiness and excitement. 53. What can we learn about the writer’s father from the text? A. He taught his daughter Spanish. B. He hated languages when he was young. C. He had been to Chile several times. D. He was good at languages. 54. What can we learn about the children in the writer’s class? A. None of them could speak. B. They wanted to speak as others could. C. They had many ways to communicate. D. They were embarrassed because they were disabled. 55. According to the writer, what can open doors to new things? A. Kindness. B. Communication. C. Friendship. D. Patience. 56. What’s the best title for the text? A. My father’s advice B. Kind disabled kids C The power of communication D. My first Spanish teacher D When we’re feeling a little sad, sometimes all we need is someone to listen. But would you share your feelings with a red furry monster (毛茸茸的怪物) on the internet? Well, thousands of people have been doing that! Elmo, one of the Muppets (布偶) from the TV show Sesame Street, received thousands of messages on X after asking one simple question: “How is everybody doing?” People from all over the world replied, and many of them didn’t have good news to share. Some of the replies sounded very sad, although others may have been using their replies to tell jokes about their problems. “Every morning, I cannot wait to go back to sleep. Every Monday, I cannot wait for Friday to come. Every single day and every single week for life,” one user wrote. “The world is burning around us, Elmo,”wrote YouTuber Steven McInerney. Others said they had lost their jobs or were feeling anxious (焦虑不安). Some of the other Sesame Street characters also replied to Elmo. Bert said: “I’m here if you ever need a shoulder to lean on. I’ll make us both a warm cup of tea.” Elmo later replied to the messages, saying: “Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in soon, friends! Elmo loves you.” And US President Joe Biden even wrote a message of support for the red monster. “Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it.” 57. What did some people tell Elmo in their replies? A. They were feeling happy and excited. B. They were having some problems. C. They wanted to be friends with Elmo. D. They didn’t like the question. 58. What did Elmo learn from asking people how they were doing? A. It’s important to ask how others feel. B. Everyone always feels sad. C. It’s important to make people laugh. D. The internet is a scary place. 59. What did US President Joe Biden say in his message? A. He didn’t like how people replied to Elmo. B. He wanted to be friends with Elmo too. C. He thought Elmo shouldn’t ask personal questions. D. He agreed with Elmo about asking for help. 60. Why do you think people shared their problems with Elmo even though he is a puppet? A. Because Elmo is a famous character. B. Because sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone you don’t know. C. Because they thought Elmo could solve their problems. D Because they wanted to be on TV. 六、阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读文章及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Are you nervous about a big test at school or your performance at work?

A. alone; lonely B. alone; alone C. lonely; lonely D. lonely; alone 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——老人看起来很伤心。——嗯，他独自居住，所以他可能会感到孤单。 考查词义辨析。alone孤独的，独自，可作形容词或副词，强调客观，常与stay、live等连用；lonely孤独的，偏僻的，形容词，强调主观感受。第一空修饰动词lives，要用副词alone。第二空位于feel后，且带有一定的感情色彩，应填形容词lonely作表语，故选A。 20. She ________ dislike eating vegetables, but now she ________ vegetables because of health. A. is used to; used to eat B. was used to; used to C. used to; is used to eating D. uses to; is used to eating 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：她以前不喜欢吃蔬菜，但现在出于健康原因，她已经习惯了吃蔬菜。 考查动词短语。be used to doing习惯于某事，后面加动名词；used to do过去常常做某事；be used to do sth 被用于做某事。根据“but now”可知，第一空应表达过去不喜欢吃蔬菜，第二空应表达现在习惯于吃蔬菜。故选C。 三、语法选择（共 15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Garfield first appeared in a comic strip on June 19, 1978.

People’s body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with their words, their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth, try watching their hands. A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms (手掌) towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly. When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or trying to hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can’t afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose. Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face their listeners, they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people’s honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to. Human body language, emotion, and communication are directly connected. By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth. 49. What does the underlined phrase “open up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. 敞开心扉 B. 开辟 C. 产生 D. 取得 50. What do people usually unconsciously do when they lie? A. They tend to hide their feet. B. They tend to shake your hands. C. They tend to hide their palms. D. They tend to turn their palms towards you. 51. Someone is probably lying when he or she is ________. A. touching the nose B. using open-palm gestures C. making eye contact with you D. sharing important information 52. Talking with your palms open will encourage others to ________. A. behave actively B. gesture carefully C. be honest with you D. forget their pressure 【答案】49. A 50. C 51. A 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文指出人们交流时肢体语言比言语更重要，以手掌的动作等为例，说明肢体语言能反映人是否诚实等信息。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you”可知，“open up”意思与“分享重要信息”相近，应是“敞开心扉”。故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them.”可知，人们说谎时通常无意识地隐藏手掌。故选C。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose.”可知，摸鼻子可能意味着某人在说谎。故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you want people’s honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to.”和“By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth.”可知，张开手掌交流能鼓励他人对你诚实。故选C。 C When I was younger I hated languages. My father could speak several languages. He was sure that I could also be good at languages. With his encouragement, I decided to go to Chile to learn Spanish. At the weekend, I did a part-time job. I worked in a school for disabled children in a class of six. Only two children in the class could speak, and neither of them could do it well. But I realized slowly that every child could communicate. Some of them used body language to express themselves. Others used their voices — they made noises. The noises changed when they had different feelings. They even “talked” to each other, having quarrels (争吵) and friendly chats like anyone else. None of the children in that room could say a single sentence. But they had a strong personality (个性), likes and dislikes, wishes and fears that they communicated every day. Slowly, I learned not only Spanish but the language of every one of the children I cared for. It was encouraging to see these children chatting with each other comfortably. I had been making excuses for not trying all these years. And here were a group of disabled children showing me how important communication was. It really made me want to learn Spanish. In this way, I could express my personality in the way that they had learned to do. From then on, I spent my evenings studying Spanish after work. I felt excited when I knew a new word. When I arrived in Chile, I couldn’t say a single word. But when I left I could happily have a conversation. My life was going in a different direction. I learned from those children that communication could open doors like something else — doors to friendship, happiness and excitement. 53. What can we learn about the writer’s father from the text?

But would you share your feelings with a red furry monster (毛茸茸的怪物) on the internet? Well, thousands of people have been doing that! Elmo, one of the Muppets (布偶) from the TV show Sesame Street, received thousands of messages on X after asking one simple question: “How is everybody doing?” People from all over the world replied, and many of them didn’t have good news to share. Some of the replies sounded very sad, although others may have been using their replies to tell jokes about their problems. “Every morning, I cannot wait to go back to sleep. Every Monday, I cannot wait for Friday to come. Every single day and every single week for life,” one user wrote. “The world is burning around us, Elmo,”wrote YouTuber Steven McInerney. Others said they had lost their jobs or were feeling anxious (焦虑不安). Some of the other Sesame Street characters also replied to Elmo. Bert said: “I’m here if you ever need a shoulder to lean on. I’ll make us both a warm cup of tea.” Elmo later replied to the messages, saying: “Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in soon, friends! Elmo loves you.” And US President Joe Biden even wrote a message of support for the red monster. “Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it.” 57. What did some people tell Elmo in their replies? A. They were feeling happy and excited. B. They were having some problems. C. They wanted to be friends with Elmo. D.

He wanted to be friends with Elmo too. C. He thought Elmo shouldn’t ask personal questions. D. He agreed with Elmo about asking for help. 60. Why do you think people shared their problems with Elmo even though he is a puppet? A. Because Elmo is a famous character. B. Because sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone you don’t know. C. Because they thought Elmo could solve their problems. D. Because they wanted to be on TV. 【答案】57. B 58. A 59. D 60.
