This is a very important part of body language. It can be the key to communication. Eye contact can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding. In Western countries, using eye contact in conversations is very important. If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening. And if you look away, they may also think that you are lying. However, in many Asian countries, looking down when talking with an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite. These differences can cause problems. For example, an Asian person might look down while listening to a Western speaker. The Western speaker might think this person is not interested in what he or she is saying. Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is not polite either. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel nervous. 46. What is eye contact? A. Looking into another person’s eyes. B. Smiling at another person. C. Nodding while listening. D. Standing close to someone. 47. Why is eye contact important in communication? A. It makes people speak louder. B.

You are very polite. B. You are thinking deeply. C. You are shy but honest. D. You are not listening or you are lying. 49. How do many Asians show politeness to older people? A. By using a lot of eye contact. B. By looking down during the conversation. C. By speaking very loudly. D. By interrupting the speaker. 50. What is considered impolite in many countries? A. Watching strangers for a long time. B. Smiling at strangers. C. Nodding occasionally. D. Avoiding eye contact completely. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了眼神交流在不同文化中的重要性及其差异。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes.”可知，眼神交流意味着看着对方的眼睛。故选A。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Eye contact can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding.”可知，眼神交流可以表达友好、兴趣和理解等情感。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening.

The audience can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play. Shadow puppets are made of hard leather. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs. During a shadow puppet play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sits in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters. Shadow puppet plays are an ancient Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive. 51. Why can’t the audience see Wang and his friends during the performance? A. Because they stand behind a white screen. B. Because they perform in complete darkness. C. Because they wear special invisible costumes. D. Because the audience sits too far away. 52. What material are shadow puppets made of? A. Soft cloth B. Hard leather C. Thin paper D. Wooden boards 53.

In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. ___56___ Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it? The answer is, “Yes”! As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” ___57___ For example, shrug our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true and inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. ___58___ Because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. ___59___ It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are delivered through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate (精准的) than the words we use. So it is very important for us to learn body language. ___60___ We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. A. We are less likely to be misunderstood by understanding body language. B. They may turn away or raise their shoulders. C. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. D. Sometimes we can communicate things even without a single word. E. Body language is also important in our personal lives. 【答案】56. C 57. D 58. B 59. E 60.

(c)ruel 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了如何创造连环画以及在创作时要注意的方面。 【61题详解】 句意：任何人都可以喜欢漫画，即使一个角色是残疾的。由“even if”可知句子表示让步，根据上文推测空处应填一个表示贬义的形容词，结合首字母d可知disabled符合语境。故(d)isabled。 【62题详解】 句意：用生动的语言，明亮的色彩和大胆的线条来描述你的场景，以引起读者的注意。句中的“vivid language, bright colors and bold lines ”都是为了吸引读者的注意力。“attract one’s attention”为固定表达，意为“引起某人的注意”。故填(a)ttract。 【63题详解】 句意：有效传达情感的一种常见方法是使用姿势和表情。由常识可知，传达感情可以通过姿势和表情，结合首字母g可知gesture符合句意。故填(g)esture。 【64题详解】 句意：每个角色的外表应该与他们的个性相匹配，符号也有帮助，比如心形表示爱，问号表示困惑。由下文的举例“like hearts for love or question marks for confusion.”可知，空处意为“符号” ，结合首字母s可知symbols符合语境。故填(s)ymbols。 【65题详解】 句意：注意不要包含太残酷或太危险的内容，因为连环画是为了娱乐。由“or dangerous”可知，空处应填形容词，且在感情色彩上与dangerous类似，结合首字母可知cruel符合语境。故填(c)ruel。 第二节 完成句子（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所给的汉语内容，用英语完成下列句子。（每空限填一词） 66. 老奶奶独自一人居住，但她不感到孤独。 Granny lives ________ ________ ________ but she doesn’t feel lonely. 【答案】 ①. on ②. her ③. own 【解析】 【详解】分析句子可知，空处需要翻译的是“独自”，独自：on one’s own，此处指的是老奶奶，因此用形容词性物主代词her。故填on；her；own。 67. 海伦把相机弄丢了，真是太粗心了！ ________ ________ ________ ________ Helen to lose her camera. 【答案】 ①. It ②. is ③. careless ④. of 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照分析，此处用固定句型 It is+形容词+of/for sb. to do sth. “某人做某事是……的”；careless“粗心的”，这是一个形容人的品质的形容词，故介词用of。故填It；is；careless；of。 68. 她的这些艺术作品吸引了越来越多的人。 More and more people ________ ________ ________ her works of arts. 【答案】 ①. are##were ②. attracted ③. by 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照和“More and more people...her works of arts.”可知，空格处为“被……吸引”be attracted by，此处为被动语态，结合语境可知，句子为一般现在时或一般过去时，主语More and more people为复数，故此处be动词应用are/were。故填are/were；attracted；by。 69. 她正在遭受多么严重的病痛折磨啊！ ________ ________ illnesses she is suffering from! 【答案】 ①. What ②. serious 【解析】 【详解】分析句子可知，空处需要翻译的是“多么严重”，此处用What引导的感叹句，其结构为“What+形容词+名词+主语+谓语”，严重的：serious，形容词作定语。故填What；serious。 70. 我们国家已经足够强大去面对和解决各种困难。 Our country has been ________ ________ ________ ________ and deal with different problems. 【答案】 ①. strong ②. enough ③. to ④. face 【解析】 【详解】strong“强大的”，形容词，enough“足够”，修饰形容词置于其后；adj. enough to do sth.“足够……做某事”；face“面对”，动词，此处用原形。故填strong；enough；to；face。 第三节 书面表达（共1题；满分15分） 71. 五一劳动节快要到了，学校学生会计划举行一次“Volunteer Day”活动。活动当天将有一系列的志愿活动供同学们参与。假设你是该活动的负责人，请根据以下内容和提示写一篇英语短文，为同学们介绍下列志愿工作。 要求： 志愿者日 活动内容 活动情况 教七年级学生做剪纸  制作漂亮的剪纸  为义卖 (charity sale) 筹款 和八年级学生一起做彩绘  制作有趣漫画  …… (请你补充) (请你补充)  …… (请你补充)  …… (请你补充) 1. 词数100字左右 (文章开头已给出，不计入总词数)； 2. 包含表格中所有信息，补充内容，适当拓展。 3. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息，否则不予评分。 The Volunteer Day is coming.

I want to tell you about the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund (CCTF) and how it helped me. One of the CCTF’s special activities is the Spring Bud Project. In 1989, 4.8 million children in the country, aged from seven to fourteen, were unable to attend school. Eighty-three percent of them were girls. Because of this, the CCTF launched the Spring Bud Project to help them. Since then, the project has helped millions of girls return to school. It has also built a lot of schools. The very first Spring Bud class was here in Guangxi in 1989. The Spring Bud Project paid for me to attend that class. It also rented a room close to the school for me. Before the project started, I stayed at home and helped my mother with the housework. Going to school changed my life. I learnt to read and write and do many other things. Now I work as a teacher at a Spring Bud school here in Guangxi. I wish to help other girls the way the Spring Bud Project helped me. 41. What was the main reason for starting the Spring Bud Project? A. To build new schools in cities. B. To help girls who couldn’t go to school. C. To teach boys and girls equally. D. To provide food for poor children. 42. How did the Spring Bud Project help Feng Guixiang? A. It paid for her class and rented a room for her. B. It gave her a free house. C. It taught her how to cook. D. It sent her to a university. 43.

What is Feng Guixiang’s wish? A. To travel around the world. B. To move to a big city. C. To start her own business. D. To help other girls as the project helped her. (B) Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes. This is a very important part of body language. It can be the key to communication. Eye contact can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding. In Western countries, using eye contact in conversations is very important. If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening. And if you look away, they may also think that you are lying. However, in many Asian countries, looking down when talking with an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite. These differences can cause problems. For example, an Asian person might look down while listening to a Western speaker. The Western speaker might think this person is not interested in what he or she is saying. Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is not polite either. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel nervous. 46. What is eye contact? A. Looking into another person’s eyes. B. Smiling at another person. C. Nodding while listening. D. Standing close to someone. 47. Why is eye contact important in communication? A. It makes people speak louder. B. It helps people remember words better. C. It shows feelings like friendliness and interest. D. It makes conversations longer. 48. What might Westerners think if you avoid eye contact? A. You are very polite. B. You are thinking deeply. C. You are shy but honest. D. You are not listening or you are lying. 49. How do many Asians show politeness to older people? A. By using a lot of eye contact. B. By looking down during the conversation. C. By speaking very loudly. D. By interrupting the speaker. 50. What is considered impolite in many countries? A. Watching strangers for a long time. B. Smiling at strangers. C. Nodding occasionally. D. Avoiding eye contact completely. (C) Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi’an. The audience can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play. Shadow puppets are made of hard leather. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs. During a shadow puppet play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sits in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters. Shadow puppet plays are an ancient Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive. 51. Why can’t the audience see Wang and his friends during the performance? A. Because they stand behind a white screen. B. Because they perform in complete darkness. C. Because they wear special invisible costumes. D. Because the audience sits too far away. 52. What material are shadow puppets made of? A. Soft cloth B. Hard leather C. Thin paper D. Wooden boards 53. Where is the light source positioned during a shadow puppet play? A. In front of the screen B. Behind the screen C. Above the screen D. Below the screen 54. Who provides the voices for the puppet characters? A. A recorded soundtrack B. The audience members C. Wang and his friends D. Professional voice actors 55. Why do Wang and his friends continue performing shadow puppet plays? A. Because they earn a lot of money B. Because it’s an easy job C. Because they are forced to do it D. Because they want to preserve the tradition 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Why Should We Learn Body Language? In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. ___56___ Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it? The answer is, “Yes”! As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” ___57___ For example, shrug our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true and inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. ___58___ Because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. ___59___ It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are delivered through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate (精准的) than the words we use. So it is very important for us to learn body language. ___60___ We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. A. We are less likely to be misunderstood by understanding body language. B. They may turn away or raise their shoulders. C. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. D. Sometimes we can communicate things even without a single word. E. Body language is also important in our personal lives. 四、写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 语篇填词（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。 Creating comic strips is a fun and creative way to tell stories.
