课时作业(十三) Unit 4　Period 1 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Simple hand gestures can make you look more confident and in control.Practice them，and use them whenever you want to impress a person or an audience! The hand steeple，where the fingers are making a little “roof top”，is showing a lot of confidence.This hand gesture is very popular with lawyers，politicians and priests(it does resemble praying，don’t you think？)and while it shows great confidence，you should not use it when you’re trying to gain someone’s trust...the hand steeple can make you look arrogant(傲慢的).It does show strength when negotiating. The reverse hand steeple is similar to the hand steeple，but this gesture is used more often during listening，while that hand steeple is used more often during talking.And since women are better listeners than men，the reverse hand steeple is used more often by women. People in leadership positions often hold their hands behind their back.It’s a pose that shows power，and confidence，as it exposes the vulnerable (脆弱的； 易受伤害的) parts of the body.It also improves your posture and opens up the airways，so you gain more energy and feel more confident as you do this. Some people don’t hold their hands but have one hand hold the wrist or the arm.This is a sign of frustration.The higher up the hand is，the more frustrated.It’s a way to “get a grip” on yourself. Another show of confidence and feeling superior is by showing the thumbs.Any position where the thumbs are visible will do the trick(奏效；起作用).Holding your jacket with your thumbs up，or having them stuck out of your back pockets is the similar hand gesture that will do the trick. 【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了几种手势，手势所表达的含义和什么时候使用。 1．When will you most probably use the hand steeple? A．When you are praying. B．When you are listening to a speech. C．When you are asking for advice. D．When you are talking with a potential business partner. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句It does show strength when negotiating.它在谈判时确实能显示你的实力。可知，当跟人谈判的时候你可以用这个手势，故选D。 2．Who mostly use the reverse hand steeple? A．Lawyers. B．Politicians. C．Children. D．Women. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句And since women are better listeners than men，the reverse hand steeple is used more often by women.由于女性比男性更善于倾听，所以女性更多地使用反向手尖塔。因此女性用这一手势最多，故选D。 3．What does the following picture probably show? A．Pride. B．Anger. C．Confidence. D．Surprise. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段People in leadership positions often hold their hands behind their back.It’s a pose that shows power，and confidence，as it exposes the vulnerable(脆弱的； 易受伤害的)parts of the body.处于领导地位的人经常把手放在背后。这是一个展示力量和自信的姿势，尽管它暴露了身体脆弱的部分。把手反背在背后是一种显示能力和自信的手势，故选C。 4．Which of the following shows that one is frustrated? 解析：选A　推理判断。根据文章第五段Some people don’t hold their hands but have one hand hold the wrist or the arm.This is a sign of frustration.The higher up the hand is，the more frustrated.有些人不握手，而是用一只手握住手腕或手臂。这是一种沮丧的表现。手举得越高，越感到沮丧。所述内容可知，把双手放在胳膊上或者手腕上往往是“沮丧”的表现，故选A。 B When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left，they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses，because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories. “We didn’t stay at’bed and breakfast’ houses，”they said，“because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English，and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”，because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacations”．So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”，which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”，because they thought this meant the people who owned the houses were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result，they stayed at hotels! We laughed at this and about the mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish，the word “DIVERSION” means fun.In English，it means that workmen are repairing the road，and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign，they thought they were going to have fun.Instead，the road ended in a large hole. English people also have problems when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris，when someone offered me some more coffee，I said “Thank you” in French.I meant that I would like some more.However，to my surprise，the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No，thank you.”． 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了由于语言差异，作者的西班牙朋友在英国读错指示牌的故事。 5．Why did the author suggest his friends staying at bed and breakfast houses? A．It would be much cheaper than staying in hotels. B．It would be convenient for them to have dinner together. C．They would be able to practise their English. D.There would be no problem about finding accommodation there. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段的I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses，because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family.可知，作者建议他的朋友住在“bed and breakfast”房子里，是因为这种住宿可以让游客有一个和家庭成员之间用英语进行交流的机会，即他们可以练习自己的英语。C.They would be able to practise their English.(他们能够练习他们的英语)符合以上说法，故选C项。 6．If you see a road sign that says “DIVERSION” in London，you will________． A．fall into a large hole B．find the road blocked by people C．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself D．have to take a different road 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的In English，it means that workmen are repairing the road，and that you must take a different road.可知，在英国，如果路上出现DIVERSION 的标志，就意味着这工人正在养护公路，因此你必须选择不同的路。D.have to take a different road(必须选择不同的路)符合以上说法，故选D项。 7．What did the author really mean when the coffee pot was taken away? A．He would finish drinking his coffee. B．He was expecting another cup of coffee. C．He meant that he didn’t want any more. D．He has already had enough coffee. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段的I meant that I would like some more.However，to my surprise，the coffee pot was taken away！(我的意思是我想再来一些。然而，让我吃惊的是，咖啡壶被拿走了)可知，当作者的咖啡壶被拿走时，他的意思是想再喝一些咖啡。B.He was expecting another cup of coffee.(他正期待另一杯咖啡)符合以上说法，故选B项。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Before there was the written word，there was the language of dance.Dance expresses love and hate，joy and sorrow，life and death，and everything else in between. 1 We dance from Florida to Alaska，from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings，birthdays，office parties and just to fill the time. “I adore dancing，” says Lester Bridges，the owner of a dance studio in Iowa.“I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful. 2 It’s great to watch them.For many of them，it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.” 3 “I can tell you about one young couple，” says Bridges.“They’re learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 4 ” So，do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better，calmer，healthier？Andrea Hillier says，“Dance，like the pattern of a beating heart，is life.Even after all these years，I want to get better and better. 5 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I’m alive.” A．So why do we dance. B．Dance in the U．S.is everywhere. C．If you like dancing outdoors，come to America. D．My older students say it makes them feel young. E．I keep practicing even when I’m extremely tired. F．Dancing seems to change their feeling completely. G．They stayed up all night long singing and dancing. 【语篇解读】　本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了跳舞的好处。 1．解析：选B　根据后文We dance from Florida to Alaska，from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings，birthdays，office parties and just to fill the time.等可知，这里是说在美国到处有人跳舞，从佛罗里达到阿拉斯加，从北到南等，故选B。 2．解析：选D　根据前文舞蹈课为各个年龄阶段的人架起了桥梁，教跳舞是非常好的，再根据后句it’s great to watch them，根据人称可知是在谈论他们，所以D和F符合，再根据本段最后一句可知，此段主要介绍了跳舞对他们的好处，故选D。 3．解析：选A　根据第四段后句，是通过举例介绍人们跳舞的原因，故选A。 4．解析：选F　根据前句they arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile，所以他们的心情彻底改变，故选F。 5．解析：选E　根据文章前后句可知，此处人称为第一人称，所以E符合语境，作者结合自己的跳舞经历介绍了跳舞给自己带来的好处。 Ⅲ.语法填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 If you say the word “communication” most people think 1._______words and sentences.Although these are very important，we communicate with more than just 2. _______ (speak) and written words.Indeed，body positions are part of 3. _______we call “body language”．We see examples of unconscious body language very often，yet there is also “learned” body language，4. _______varies from culture to culture.We use “learned” body language when we 5. _______ (introduce) to strangers.Like other animals，we are on guard until we know it is safe 6. _______ (relax).So every culture has developed a formal way to greet strangers，to show them we are not aggressive.Greetings in Asian 7. _______ (country)do not involve touching the other person.8. _______ (tradition) in China，when we greet someone，we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly.American youths often greet each other with the 9. _______ (express)，“Give me five！” Nowadays，it is quite a common greeting.Body language is fascinating for anyone to study.People give away much more by their gestures than by 10. _______ (they) words. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。人际交流不只是靠单词和句子，而身势语也是我们交流的重要形式。每一种文化都有自己的身势语，只是因文化不同而不同。人们通过身势语会暴露更多的信息，因此每个人都应该好好研究它。 1．of　考查固定搭配。句意：如果你说“交流”这个词，大多数人会想到单词和句子。think of是一个固定短语，意为：想到，想起。故答案为of。 2．spoken　考查过去分作定语。句意：我们不仅仅用口头和书面语言交流。过去分词spoken意思为“口头的”，与后面的written(书面的)一起作定语修饰words。故答案为spoken。 3．what　考查宾语从句。句意：事实上，身体姿势是我们所说的“身体语言”的一部分。从句“ we call ’body language’”作of的宾语，是一个宾语从句，宾语从句中call后缺少宾语，指“……的东西”，故用连接代词what。 4．which　考查非限制性定语从句。句意：还有“习得的”肢体语言，因文化而异。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为body language，表示物，关系词在从句中作主语，因此用which引导非限制性定语从句。注意：that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故答案为which。 5．are introduced　考查时态和语态。句意：当我们被介绍给陌生人时，我们使用“习得的”肢体语言。此处指当我们被介绍给陌生人时，又因为状语从句的时态一般要和主句的时态一致，主句为一般现在时，所以该空应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故答案为are introduced。 6．to relax　考查动词不定式。句意：像其他动物一样，我们在知道安全的时候才放松警惕。该句中的it为形式主语，因此后面应该用动词不定式作真正的主语。故答案为to relax。 7．countries　考查名词的复数。句意：在亚洲国家，问候不涉及触摸对方。此处指亚洲国家中的问候，country为可数名词，由语境可知应用复数名词表示泛指。故答案为countries。 8．Traditionally　考查副词。句意：传统上在中国，当我们问候某人时，我们把右手放在左手上，微微鞠躬。根据句子结构，此处应该用副词作状语，修饰整个句子。tradition为名词，其副词形式为 traditionally。故答案为Traditionally。 9．expression　考查名词。句意：美国年轻人经常互相打招呼，说：“击个掌！”。定冠词the后面应该用名词形式。express的名词形式为expression。故答案为expression。 10．their　考查代词。句意：人们通过他们的手势比通过他们的话语表达地更多。由words可以判断，此空应该填形容词性物主代词。故答案为their。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
