A
Do you use hand gestures (姿势) when you talk? Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look.
Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings. According to American scientist Edward T. Hall in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an “OK” gesture to say “Yes, sounds great!” Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously (无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.
In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US, making eye contact (交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person’s eyes during a conversation.
Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take “hello” for example. French people kiss cheeks to say hello. Japanese people bow. Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting. What are you trying to say? Body language is important to teenagers. Understanding this language helps you to communicate better with others.
11. What does body language use to show meanings?
A. Words. B. Sentences. C. Letters. D. Movement.
12. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The same body language always means the same thing.
B. Most Asian people like making eye contact with others.
C. Different body language can express the same meaning.
D. Four ways of saying “hello” are mentioned in the passage.
13. Whom might this passage be written for?
A. Old people. B. Teenagers. C. Adults. D. The disabled.
B
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in traditional Chinese handicrafts (手工艺品) both at home and abroad. These handicrafts, with a history of thousands of years, carry rich cultural connotations (内涵) and show the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people.
One of the most famous traditional handicrafts is Chinese paper-cutting. Using just a pair of scissors and a piece of paper, skilled artisans can create delicate (精美的) patterns, from beautiful flowers and lively animals to vivid scenes of daily life. Paper-cutting is not only a decorative art but also has special meanings. For example, fish often stands for prosperity, while the Chinese character “fu” (meaning good luck) is a common theme during festivals.
Another well-known handicraft is porcelain (瓷器) making. Jingdezhen, a city in Jiangxi Province, has long been regarded as the “Porcelain Capital” of China. Porcelain products made in Jingdezhen are famous for their thin bodies, smooth (光滑的) surfaces, and beautiful decorations. The production process of porcelain is complex, including steps such as clay preparation, shaping, glazing, and firing. Each step requires great skill and patience.
Embroidery (刺绣) is also a remarkable traditional handicraft. There are several major embroidery styles in China, including Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Sichuan embroidery, and Guangdong embroidery. These styles have their own special features. Suzhou embroidery, for instance, is known for its fine stitches (针线) and elegant colors, often describing landscapes, flowers, and birds with a high level of realism.
Today, efforts are being made to promote these traditional handicrafts. Many schools have introduced courses on handicrafts, allowing students to learn and experience the magic of traditional culture. There are also many handicraft exhibitions and cultural events held regularly. Through these activities, traditional Chinese handicrafts are not only passed down but also given new energy in the modern age.
14. What does the underlined word “prosperity” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Being direct. B. Being polite. C. Being successful. D. Being realistic.
15. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. There are five major embroidery styles in China.
B. The porcelain products in Jingdezhen are good and famous.
C. Hunan embroidery is famous for its good stitches and colors.
D. Fish is a common theme of Chinese paper-cutting during festivals.
16. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Some efforts to promote traditional Chinese handicrafts.
B. Most of the schools have introduced courses on handicrafts.
C. Some handicraft exhibitions and cultural events are often held.
D. Students can learn and experience the magic of traditional culture.
17. What does the passage mainly talk about?

I found a little cave (山洞) in the side of a hill. ___18___ So I used the ship’s sails, rope and pieces of wood to make a tent (帐篷). The cave at the back of my tent was a good place to keep my food, and I called it my ‘kitchen’. That night I went to sleep in my new home.

I cut down young trees and put them in the ground. I used many of the ship’s ropes, too. In the end my fence was as strong as a stone wall.
___20___ I went back twelve times, but soon after my 12th visit there was another terrible storm. The next morning, when I looked out to sea, there was no ship.

Then I told myself that I was very lucky. I was lucky to be alive, lucky to have food and tools, lucky to be young and strong. But I knew that my island was somewhere off the coast of South America. Ships did not often come down this coast and I was going to be on this island for a long time. So on a long piece of wood, I cut these words: I CAME HERE ON 30TH SEPTEMBER 1659.

Learning a new language is a difficult but highly rewarding experience. Here are five key strategies that will give you an edge in achieving your motivated language-learning goals:
___22___
A great way to learn a language effectively is to make the process as enjoyable as possible. Choose topics that interest you, like science, literature, music or celebrity gossip. Whatever it is, if you are interested in it, you will be much more motivated to keep coming back and practicing.
___23___
If you have some trouble with your pronunciation, try to find a language exchange partner so you can have conversations and have your partner correct you. Also, listening to and reading as much material intended for native speakers as possible will get you accustomed to what a native speaker actually sounds like, and what you could sound like in the future too!
___24___
Pay attention to the learning style that works for you. If you are a visual learner, then watch TV series or films. If you are more of an auditory learner, check out all the amazing podcasts and audio books that are available online. Do you prefer to read? Download an electronic version of an e-book in the language you are learning.

This way you both can practice your target languages in an immersive environment.
___26___
Now, what is our top strategy to learn a language effectively? Make learning a language a habit. That is, include language-learning activities into your daily schedule. Even if you only have a few minutes, it’s better than skipping a day. There are a lot of ways to develop and maintain habits. The more often you practice, the more motivation and the fewer difficulties you will have.
With these strategies, there is no doubt that you will become more fluent in your target language than before!

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
I don’t believe it! I’m still sitting here writing my paper. I’ve had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago, I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one?
I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s our brains. Our brains are programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now. Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly. it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it.
But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner.
So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I’ve finished my paper on time! If we can control our habits, anything is possible!

Learning a new language is a difficult but highly rewarding experience. Here are five key strategies that will give you an edge in achieving your motivated language-learning goals:
___22___
A great way to learn a language effectively is to make the process as enjoyable as possible. Choose topics that interest you, like science, literature, music or celebrity gossip. Whatever it is, if you are interested in it, you will be much more motivated to keep coming back and practicing.
___23___
If you have some trouble with your pronunciation, try to find a language exchange partner so you can have conversations and have your partner correct you. Also, listening to and reading as much material intended for native speakers as possible will get you accustomed to what a native speaker actually sounds like, and what you could sound like in the future too!
___24___
Pay attention to the learning style that works for you. If you are a visual learner, then watch TV series or films. If you are more of an auditory learner, check out all the amazing podcasts and audio books that are available online. Do you prefer to read?

This way you both can practice your target languages in an immersive environment.
___26___
Now, what is our top strategy to learn a language effectively? Make learning a language a habit. That is, include language-learning activities into your daily schedule. Even if you only have a few minutes, it’s better than skipping a day. There are a lot of ways to develop and maintain habits. The more often you practice, the more motivation and the fewer difficulties you will have.
With these strategies, there is no doubt that you will become more fluent in your target language than before!

【31题详解】
句意:相反,碗要直接拿到嘴边。根据“in some Asian cultures soup is eaten without using a spoon”可知,这里描述亚洲一些文化中喝汤的方式,碗是直接拿到嘴边,“directly直接地”符合语境,副词修饰动词“brought”。故填directly。

【33题详解】
句意:如果你来得早,在街上走几圈或者在车里看书直到开始时间。根据“If you arrive early, walk around the street a few times...read in your car until the start time.”可知,“walk around the street a few times”与“read in your car”是选择关系,用“or或者”连接。故填or。
【34题详解】
句意:你的衣服应该让你感觉舒适和自信。根据“...clothes should make you feel comfortable and confident.”可知,这里说的是参加晚宴时“你的”衣服,“your你的”符合语境,形容词性物主代词修饰“clothes”。首字母大写,故填Your。
【35题详解】
句意:如果你穿着短裤,而其他客人都穿着晚礼服,你可能会觉得不舒服。根据“you are in shorts but the other guests are wearing evening dresses”可知,这种穿着差异会让人感觉不舒服,“uncomfortable”意为“不舒服的”,符合语境,在句中作表语。故填uncomfortable。
【36题详解】
句意:礼物是感谢主人的好方式。根据“Bring a small gift.”以及“the host”可知,送礼物是为了感谢主人,“thank感谢”符合语境,to后接动词原形构成不定式。故填thank。

五、阅读表达(共5 小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
I don’t believe it! I’m still sitting here writing my paper. I’ve had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago, I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one?
I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s our brains. Our brains are programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now. Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly. it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it.
But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner.
So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I’ve finished my paper on time! If we can control our habits, anything is possible!
