课时作业(十四) Unit 4 Period 2
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Apart from our tongue,in my point of view,eyes are another kind of language we use to express ourselves.Through one’s eyes,we can read sorrow,happiness,encouragement,and many other emotions.Eyes are always one of the fastest and most direct organs to reveal your thoughts.
Until now,I still remember an unforgettable experience,which happened when I took part in a singing contest at the age of nine.It was the power of my mother’s eyes that encouraged me to go for it.I had shown great interest in singing before that,but I was too shy to sing in the public.So one day my mother took me to sign up for the singing contest.With my mother’s company and encouragement,I was determined to meet that challenge.Standing on the stage,I suddenly found I had become the focus of all the eyes.I got so nervous that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open.When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing,I became even more nervous.I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me,as I couldn’t remember anything.Searching for help,I met my mother’s eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power.It seemed that they were speaking to me,“Come on! Baby! Take it easy.I’ll always be with you!” I read the message through her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song.When I came down from the stage,she came up to me,saying,“Great! I’m proud of you!” and gave me a big hug.At that time,I found her eyes filled with tears of joy.Sometimes,you see,just the encouraging eyes themselves can make a shy person brave.

解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据划线部分Eyes are always one of the fastest and most direct organs to reveal your thoughts.可知,此处指眼睛是reveal你的思想的最快和最直接的器官。根据句意,尤其是your thoughts,猜测reveal意为“展示,表现”。A.Show.(展示)符合语境,故选A项。
3.What did the mother think of the author’s performance?

B.Eyes
C.A singing contest
D.Confidence and success
解析:选B 主旨大意题。根据第一段的Apart from our tongue,in my point of view,eyes are another kind of language we use to express ourselves.(在我看来,除了我们的语言,眼睛是我们用来表达自己的另一种语言。)和最后一段的Sometimes,you see,just the encouraging eyes themselves can make a shy person brave.(你看,有时一个鼓励的眼神让一个害羞的人变得勇敢。)可知,全文贯穿了一个主题,那就是眼睛。文章开头点出作者对眼睛的观点,然后通过事例说明自己的观点,最后一句话又点明观点,首尾相呼应,主题明确。B.Eyes(眼睛)可以作为本文标题,故选B项。
B
Body language is the quiet,secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent.So,while your mouth is closed,your body is just saying.
Arms.How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet.If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back,this suggests you are not afraid of anything.Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements,while quieter people keep them close to their bodies.If someone upsets you,just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy.
Head.When you want to appear confident,keep your head level.If you are a monitor,you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously.However,to be friendly in listening or speaking,you must move your head a little.
Legs.Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies.If you are at interviews,try to keep them still.
Posture(姿势).A good posture makes you feel better about yourself.If you are feeling down you normally don’t sit straight,with your shoulders inwards.This makes breathing more difficult,which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth.When you are thinking,you often purse your lips.You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don’t wish to make.However,it will probably still be noticed,and people will know you’re not pleased.
Face.When you lie,you might put on a false face.But that expression would crack quickly,allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness,sadness,disgust(厌恶) and fear.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了身体的不同部分的运动表达着不同的含义,肢体语言在泄露我们的思想。

A.he is not afraid B.he is outgoing
C.he is angry D.he is cool

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。
How to Develop Interpersonal Skills
People use interpersonal skills daily—socially as well as professionally—and usually without even being conscious of their effectiveness.In the workplace,listening,communicating,working together and manners are important interpersonal skills.An employee who falls short of any of these soft skills must work consciously to strengthen and develop them. 1
Listen up.
Active listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced. 2 The active listener provides feedback by focusing their full attention on the speaker and responding with verbal and nonverbal clues that the speaker’s message is heard and understood.
Avoid failure to communicate.
Simply talking to people does not guarantee that your message is getting across.Common barriers to communication are lack of verbal clues,cultural differences,lack of interest,distractions,and unfamiliar expressions.Expect such barriers and deal with them.Learn to think before you speak,and express yourself clearly and carefully. 3
Get it together.
Working together is the key to working effectively. 4 Create such an environment,rather than competition,and respect the opinions of others.Praise and thank coworkers for their contributions and treat all suggestions and opinions with respect.
5
The basics of these interpersonal skills are the rules of politeness and good manners.Respecting other cultures can strengthen a relationship.Be aware of what is happening in your coworkers’ lives and care for them.Stay cheerful and positive in the office.
A.Mind your manners.
B.Stay positive to infect others.
C.Working successfully with others can make a career.
D.It can avoid letting the speaker’s message disappear.
E.Practice smiling in front of the mirror until you feel confident.
F.Otherwise,the employee can’t get along with superiors and coworkers.
G.Control your nonverbal communication—facial expressions,body language and eye contact.

3.解析:选G 上文Learn to think before you speak,and express yourself clearly and carefully.(在说话之前,要学会思考,并且要能够清楚和认真地表达自己)与G.Control your nonverbal communication—facial expressions, body language and eye contact.(要控制你的非言语交流——面部表情、肢体语言和眼神接触)承接自然,上下文都是避免沟通失败的方法,符合小标题Avoid failure to communicate.(避免沟通失败)的话题,故选G项。
4.解析:选C 上文Working together is the key to working effectively.(合作是提高工作效率的关键)与C.Working successfully with others can make a career.(与他人成功的合作可以使你在事业上有所成就)承接自然,上下文都说明了合作的重要性,此外working together是关键词,故选C项。
5.解析:选A 根据下文The basics of these interpersonal skills are the rules of politeness and good manners.Respecting other cultures can strengthen a relationship.Be aware of what is happening in your coworkers’ lives and care for them.Stay cheerful and positive in the office.(人际技能的基本是礼貌和良好的礼仪。尊重其它文化可以加强关系。了解你同事的生活并关心他们。在办公室里保持愉快和积极)可知,本段主要讲述人际技能的基础是礼貌和良好的礼仪的规则,故A.Mind your manners.(注意你的礼仪)可以作为本段小标题,且manners是关键词,故选A项。
