My sock drawer was mysteriously emptying. It wasn’t a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A clever and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever (金毛猎犬). For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big and innocent eyes, as if to say, “Socks? Missing? How odd!” I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle (贵宾犬) from next door and a skeptical Beagle (比格犬) from down the street. In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy (松软的) bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it-the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them. The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked unfazed. He turned his head away. Barney cried, then unwillingly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock. I burst through the door. “Buster! You little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks toward my feet. It was a peace offering to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector. 41. What drove the author to start the investigation? A.

The Strange Sock Business D The Great Sock Mystery 【答案】41. D 42. B 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者发现金毛犬Buster偷藏袜子，并用袜子与邻居家的狗进行物品交易的趣味故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs.(连续好几周，我总会在沙发底下或是电视机后面找到单只的袜子，却从来凑不成一双。)”可知，数周以来作者总是在家中奇怪的位置发现单只袜子，却找不到成对的，这一现象促使作者展开调查。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done.(交易谈判正式开始了。那只贵宾犬，我认出它叫Princess，率先走上前，在狗窝边放下了一块高品质的昂贵狗饼干。Buster小心翼翼地嗅了嗅饼干，用鼻子把一只纯白色的普通袜子拱到它面前，随即缩回爪子，警惕地护着剩下的“存货”。Princess似乎斟酌了一番，又往饼干堆里添了一块。见此情景，Buster满意了，它熟练地用鼻子把两只条纹袜子推给了Princess。这笔交易就此敲定。)”可知，Princess先拿出1块昂贵的狗饼干换了1只纯白色普通袜子，之后又加了1块饼干，换走了2只条纹袜子，最终Princess用2块昂贵的饼干换得了3只袜子。故选B。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked unfazed. He turned his head away. (下一位买家是比格犬Barney。它献上了一只略有些瘪的网球。Buster见状，脸上立刻露出……神情，干脆把头扭向了一边。)”可知，Barney拿出一只瘪掉的网球作为交换筹码时，Buster直接把头扭开，显然对这个交换品毫不在意。unfazed在此处的含义与选项D“Uninterested(不感兴趣的)”最为贴近。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks toward my feet. It was a peace offering to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector.(它慢吞吞地蹭到我脚边，不是来道歉的，而是轻轻把我最不喜欢的那双袜子拱到了我面前。这是一份求和的“贡品”，想让我对此事守口如瓶。我忍不住哈哈大笑起来。它何止是个高明的小偷，简直是个顶呱呱的生意人！我把那双袜子收了起来——毕竟，再景气的市场，也总得有个收税的不是？)”可知，Buster将袜子推到作者脚边作为求和的“贡品”，作者收下了袜子，还调侃自己是“收税官”，意味着作者接受了这份“赔偿”，选择原谅Buster。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及最后一段“He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks toward my feet. It was a peace offering to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman.(它慢吞吞地蹭到我脚边，不是来道歉的，而是轻轻把我最不喜欢的那双袜子拱到了我面前。这是一份求和的“贡品”，想让我对此事守口如瓶。我忍不住哈哈大笑起来。它何止是个高明的小偷，简直是个顶呱呱的生意人！)”可知，文章围绕金毛犬Buster偷藏袜子，并与邻居的狗狗进行袜子交易展开，核心角色是Buster，核心事件是它的袜子交易生意。选项A“Buster: A Clever Sock Trader (Buster：聪明的卖袜子商人)”既点明了主角，又突出了它聪明的“袜子商人”这一关键特质，最能概括全文主旨，适合用作标题。故选A。 Giving blood regularly may not just be saving the lives of other people, it could also be improving your own blood’s health at a genetic level, according to a new study. A team of researchers compared samples from 217 men who had given blood more than 100 times in their lives, to samples from 212 men who had donated less than 10 times, to look for any variance in blood health. While the differences were subtle, the frequent donors’ blood was more likely to have beneficial mutations (突变) in a gene called DNMT3A．Other mutations in DNMT3A have been previously linked to blood cancer. “Our work is a fascinating example of how our genes interact with the environment as we age.” says stem cell biologist Dominique Bonnet, from The Francis Crick Institute in the UK. Specifically, the team looked at blood stem cells, which produce more blood cells on demand. As we get older, these mechanisms can start to break down, leading to problems with blood cancers such as leukemia (白血病). Blood loss triggers the production of the hormone erythropoietin (促红细胞生成素激素). In lab tests on blood stem cells treated with erythropoietin, the researchers found those with the DNMT3A mutation produced blood faster than those without the mutation. This suggests frequent blood loss leads to more production of the mutated blood cells. Research in mice shows the DNMT3A mutation results in healthier blood levels after the stress of blood loss. “Activities that put low levels of stress on blood cell production allow our blood stem cells to renew and we think this favors mutations that further promote stem cell growth rather than disease.” says Bonnet. However, there are limitations to consider. Blood donors are more likely to be healthier anyway (it’s a condition of giving blood), so figuring out any additional health benefit is tricky, because it might actually come from being in better shape to begin with. “Our sample size is quite modest, so we can’t say that blood donation definitely decreases the occurrence of pre-leukemic mutations.” says Bonnet. In the US, there’s such an urgent need for blood donors that someone needs blood or platelets (small fragments in blood) every two seconds. Having healthier blood is an added bonus. While waiting for more detailed studies to confirm these findings, the study tells us more about how blood cancers can get started in the first place. “We’re now aiming to work out how these different types of mutations play a role in developing leukemia or not, and whether they can be targeted therapeutically.” says stem cell biologist Hector Huerga Encabo, from the Francis Crick Institute. 46. What was the primary focus of the study mentioned in the passage? A. The genetic differences between frequent and occasional blood donors. B. The role of erythropoietin in blood cell production. C. The relationship between blood donation and leukemia. D. The therapeutic applications of DNMT3A mutations 47. According to the research, blood loss affects blood stem cells in that ______ . A. It triggers the production of cancerous cells in the DNMT3A gene B. It accelerates the growth of cells with beneficial DNMT3A mutations C It benefits the overall health condition of the donors D. It weakens the regenerative capacity of blood stem cells 48. What can be inferred about the DNMT3A gene from the passage? A. Its activity is primarily regulated by environmental factors. B. Most mutations in DNMT3A are harmless and non-functional. C. The gene is only responsible for blood cancer development. D. Its beneficial mutations may enhance blood cell production efficiency. 49. What limitation does the study acknowledge? A. Donors’ genetic backgrounds were not fully accounted for. B. Donors’ pre-existing health conditions might influence results. C. Erythropoietin levels were not measured in the experiment. D. Mouse models cannot accurately reflect human genetic mechanisms. 50. Based on the passage, the research team’s next goal is ______ . A. to develop a new drug targeting DNMT3A mutations B. to conduct large-scale human trials of erythropoietin therapy C. to determine which DNMT3A mutations directly cause leukemia D. to analyze environmental factors influencing blood donation behavior 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，对比频繁和偶尔献血者的血液样本，发现频繁献血者血液在基因上有好处，但研究存在样本和献血者本身健康状况等局限。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A team of researchers compared samples from 217 men who had given blood more than 100 times in their lives, to samples from 212 men who had donated less than 10 times, to look for any variance in blood health. (一组研究人员将217名一生中献血超过100次的男性的样本与212名献血少于10次的男性的样本进行了比较，以寻找血液健康方面的任何差异)”可知，该研究的主要重点是频繁和偶尔献血者之间的基因差异。故选A项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Blood loss triggers the production of the hormone erythropoietin (促红细胞生成素激素). In lab tests on blood stem cells treated with erythropoietin, the researchers found those with the DNMT3A mutation produced blood faster than those without the mutation. This suggests frequent blood loss leads to more production of the mutated blood cells. (失血会触发促红细胞生成素激素的产生。在对用促红细胞生成素处理过的造血干细胞进行的实验室测试中，研究人员发现，带有DNMT3A突变的细胞比没有突变的细胞产生血液的速度更快。这表明频繁失血会导致更多突变血细胞的产生)”可知，失血会加速带有有益DNMT3A突变的细胞的生长。故选B项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In lab tests on blood stem cells treated with erythropoietin, the researchers found those with the DNMT3A mutation produced blood faster than those without the mutation. (在对用促红细胞生成素处理过的造血干细胞进行的实验室测试中，研究人员发现，带有DNMT3A突变的细胞比没有突变的细胞产生血液的速度更快)”可知，带有DNMT3A突变的细胞比没有突变的细胞产生血液的速度更快，所以DNMT3A基因的有益突变可能会提高血细胞的生产效率。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Blood donors are more likely to be healthier anyway (it’s a condition of giving blood), so figuring out any additional health benefit is tricky, because it might actually come from being in better shape to begin with. (无论如何，献血者更有可能更健康（这是献血的一个条件），所以要弄清楚任何额外的健康益处是很棘手的，因为这实际上可能一开始就来自于身体状况更好)”可知，研究承认献血者先前的健康状况可能会影响研究结果。故选B项。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We’re now aiming to work out how these different types of mutations play a role in developing leukemia or not, and whether they can be targeted therapeutically. (我们现在的目标是弄清楚这些不同类型的突变在白血病发展中是否起作用，以及是否可以对它们进行治疗)”可知，研究团队的下一个目标是确定哪些DNMT3A突变直接导致白血病。故选C项。 Psychology Today explains that body language includes the way that humans send unspoken signals to one another. Posture, hand gestures, and even the tiniest facial expressions are understood by people who might not even realize that they are seeing them. A person’s facial expressions can warn others about danger. For example, say someone opens a refrigerator and takes a large mouthful of soured milk. A twisted (扭曲的) expression and wide eyes directly send the message, “Leave this alone!” thus sparing others the sorry experience of trying the milk for themselves. Some human signals are naturally understood. Imagine you look out your window and observe a passerby hurrying along the sidewalk with his arms wrapped around himself. Your first reaction would undoubtedly be, “It’s cold and windy outside.” In a one-on-one conversation, a person with their arms crossed sends an unspoken signal that they are protecting their personal space. That person might, however, simply be tired or cold. Brain researchers explain that feelings happen before our thoughts. The time between them is very short, but that’s long enough for an observant human to sense the hunger, anger, impatience or happiness of another person directly. Humans are experts at quickly understanding another person’s attitude, and they do it before a single sentence is spoken. People naturally make eye contact when meeting another human. Even though some adults have learned to generally control basic facial features, the eyes tell us much. When a person looks into the eyes of someone they admire, their pupils (瞳孔) may widen, the same as when they see an object that they want very much. Body language creates an impression on anyone and everyone you meet. To make a positive impression, smile when you meet someone. Body language isn’t mind-reading nor does it give insight into what another person is thinking. When reading people carefully, body language helps you understand what another person wants or plans to do. 51. Which of the following is NOT body language? A. Hand gestures. B. Posture. C. Tone. D. Facial expressions. 52. What do we know from Paragraphs 2 through 4? A. Body language communicates people’s discomfort. B. Body language expresses what people can’t say. C. People often use the same body language to show their feelings. D People make mistakes when understanding others’ body language. 53. How can we leave others with a good impression according to the author? A. By observing others carefully. B. By looking at others’ eyes naturally. C. By expressing our thoughts directly. D. By making a friendly expression. 54. How does the passage mainly develop? A. By making comparisons. B. By providing examples. C. By presenting research findings. D. By following the order of importance. 55. What is the best title for the text? A. Read people like books B. Thoughts or feelings C. Use body language well D. The art of communication 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. B 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是肢体语言在人际交往中的作用和重要性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Psychology Today explains that body language includes the way that humans send unspoken signals to one another. Posture, hand gestures, and even the tiniest facial expressions are understood by people who might not even realize that they are seeing them.(《今日心理学》解释说，肢体语言包括人类向彼此传递无言信号的方式。姿势，手势，甚至是最微小的面部表情都能被人们理解，而人们可能甚至没有意识到自己在看它们)”可知，语调不是肢体语言。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Imagine you look out your window and observe a passerby hurrying along the sidewalk with his arms wrapped around himself. Your first reaction would undoubtedly be, “It’s cold and windy outside.”(想象一下，你向窗外望去，看到一个行人抱着胳膊匆匆走过人行道。你的第一反应无疑是：“外面又冷又刮风。”)”和第四段“In a one-on-one conversation, a person with their arms crossed sends an unspoken signal that they are protecting their personal space. That person might, however, simply be tired or cold.(在一对一的谈话中，一个人双臂交叉发出了一个不言而喻的信号，那就是他们在保护自己的私人空间。然而，那个人可能只是累了或冷了)”可知，肢体语言传达了人们的不适。故选A。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To make a positive impression, smile when you meet someone.(为了给人留下积极的印象，当你见到别人的时候要微笑)”可知，通过做一个友好的表情我们才能给别人留下好印象。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For example, say someone opens a refrigerator and takes a large mouthful of soured milk.(例如，有人打开冰箱，喝了一大口酸牛奶)”和第三段“Imagine you look out your window and observe a passerby hurrying along the sidewalk with his arms wrapped around himself.(想象一下，你向窗外望去，看到一个行人抱着胳膊匆匆走过人行道)”可知，本文主要是通过举例来展开的。故选B。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Body language isn’t mind-reading nor does it give insight into what another person is thinking. When reading people carefully, body language helps you understand what another person wants or plans to do.(肢体语言不是读心术，也不能洞察他人的想法。仔细读懂别人时，肢体语言可以帮助你理解别人想要做什么或计划做什么)”可知，本文主要讲的是肢体语言在人际交往中的作用和重要性，肢体语言可以帮忙读懂人，因此最好的题目是A选项“Read people like books(读人如读书)”。故选A。 第四节：词汇填空。根据所给提示补全句子，使句意完整。（共20小题；每小题0.5分，满分10分） 56.

It wasn’t a burglar with a strange habit; it was my dog, Buster. A clever and utterly mischievous Golden Retriever (金毛猎犬). For weeks, I’d find single socks under the couch or behind the TV, but never the pairs. Buster would just look at me with his big and innocent eyes, as if to say, “Socks? Missing? How odd!” I decided to investigate. One Tuesday afternoon, I pretended to leave for work but quietly circled back and peered through the living room window. What I saw was a scene of strange dog business. Buster was not alone. He had company: a serious-looking Poodle (贵宾犬) from next door and a skeptical Beagle (比格犬) from down the street. In the center of the room was Buster’s prized possession: his fluffy (松软的) bed. But it wasn’t for sleeping. It was a treasure collection. My socks were piled high upon it-the athletic ones, the warm woolly ones, even my favorite pair with pizza slices on them. The negotiation began. The Poodle, whom I recognized as Princess, stepped forward and dropped a high-quality, expensive dog biscuit at the edge of the bed. Buster sniffed it carefully, nudged a single, plain white sock toward her, and then pulled back his paw, guarding the rest. Princess seemed to consider this, then added another biscuit to the pile. Satisfied, Buster used his nose to expertly push two striped socks toward her. The deal was done. Next was the Beagle, Barney. He offered a slightly flat tennis ball. Buster immediately looked unfazed. He turned his head away. Barney cried, then unwillingly added a half-eaten pig’s ear to the offer. This got Buster’s attention. A quick exchange was made for one striped sock. I burst through the door. “Buster! You little businessman!” All three dogs froze in guilty silence. Buster had the good manners to look embarrassed. He slowly crept over, not to apologize, but to gently nudge my least favorite pair of socks toward my feet. It was a peace offering to buy my silence. I couldn’t help but laugh. He wasn’t just a good thief; he was an excellent businessman. I took the socks. After all, every good economy needs a tax collector. 41. What drove the author to start the investigation? A. The sock drawer was often left open B. Buster started barking at the sock drawer. C. Buster’s bed was suddenly filled with various socks. D. Single socks turned up in unusual spots of the house 42. What was the final outcome of the trade between Princess and Buster? A Princess traded a costly biscuit for a plain white sock. B. Princess acquired three socks for two expensive biscuits. C. Buster exchanged his striped sock in the deal for a pig’s ear. D. Buster acquired a tennis ball and gave up two striped socks. 43. Which is close to the underlined word “unfazed” in meaning in Para 5? A. Uncomfortable. B. Uncertain. C. Unusual. D. Uninterested. 44. What might the author do in the last paragraph? A. Ask the neighbors to pay for the traded socks B. Report Buster’s business to all the neighbors. C. Accept the sock as his share for forgiving Buster. D. Take Buster’s dog biscuits away as a punishment 45. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Buster: A Clever Sock Trader B. Buster: A lover of Socks C. The Strange Sock Business D. The Great Sock Mystery Giving blood regularly may not just be saving the lives of other people, it could also be improving your own blood’s health at a genetic level, according to a new study. A team of researchers compared samples from 217 men who had given blood more than 100 times in their lives, to samples from 212 men who had donated less than 10 times, to look for any variance in blood health. While the differences were subtle, the frequent donors’ blood was more likely to have beneficial mutations (突变) in a gene called DNMT3A．Other mutations in DNMT3A have been previously linked to blood cancer. “Our work is a fascinating example of how our genes interact with the environment as we age.” says stem cell biologist Dominique Bonnet, from The Francis Crick Institute in the UK. Specifically, the team looked at blood stem cells, which produce more blood cells on demand. As we get older, these mechanisms can start to break down, leading to problems with blood cancers such as leukemia (白血病). Blood loss triggers the production of the hormone erythropoietin (促红细胞生成素激素). In lab tests on blood stem cells treated with erythropoietin, the researchers found those with the DNMT3A mutation produced blood faster than those without the mutation. This suggests frequent blood loss leads to more production of the mutated blood cells. Research in mice shows the DNMT3A mutation results in healthier blood levels after the stress of blood loss. “Activities that put low levels of stress on blood cell production allow our blood stem cells to renew and we think this favors mutations that further promote stem cell growth rather than disease.” says Bonnet. However, there are limitations to consider. Blood donors are more likely to be healthier anyway (it’s a condition of giving blood), so figuring out any additional health benefit is tricky, because it might actually come from being in better shape to begin with. “Our sample size is quite modest, so we can’t say that blood donation definitely decreases the occurrence of pre-leukemic mutations.” says Bonnet. In the US, there’s such an urgent need for blood donors that someone needs blood or platelets (small fragments in blood) every two seconds. Having healthier blood is an added bonus. While waiting for more detailed studies to confirm these findings, the study tells us more about how blood cancers can get started in the first place. “We’re now aiming to work out how these different types of mutations play a role in developing leukemia or not, and whether they can be targeted therapeutically.” says stem cell biologist Hector Huerga Encabo, from the Francis Crick Institute. 46. What was the primary focus of the study mentioned in the passage? A. The genetic differences between frequent and occasional blood donors. B. The role of erythropoietin in blood cell production. C. The relationship between blood donation and leukemia. D. The therapeutic applications of DNMT3A mutations 47. According to the research, blood loss affects blood stem cells in that ______ . A. It triggers the production of cancerous cells in the DNMT3A gene B. It accelerates the growth of cells with beneficial DNMT3A mutations C. It benefits the overall health condition of the donors D. It weakens the regenerative capacity of blood stem cells 48. What can be inferred about the DNMT3A gene from the passage? A. Its activity is primarily regulated by environmental factors. B. Most mutations in DNMT3A are harmless and non-functional. C. The gene is only responsible for blood cancer development. D. Its beneficial mutations may enhance blood cell production efficiency. 49. What limitation does the study acknowledge? A. Donors’ genetic backgrounds were not fully accounted for. B. Donors’ pre-existing health conditions might influence results. C. Erythropoietin levels were not measured in the experiment. D. Mouse models cannot accurately reflect human genetic mechanisms. 50. Based on the passage, the research team’s next goal is ______ . A. to develop a new drug targeting DNMT3A mutations B. to conduct large-scale human trials of erythropoietin therapy C. to determine which DNMT3A mutations directly cause leukemia D. to analyze environmental factors influencing blood donation behavior Psychology Today explains that body language includes the way that humans send unspoken signals to one another. Posture, hand gestures, and even the tiniest facial expressions are understood by people who might not even realize that they are seeing them. A person’s facial expressions can warn others about danger. For example, say someone opens a refrigerator and takes a large mouthful of soured milk. A twisted (扭曲的) expression and wide eyes directly send the message, “Leave this alone!” thus sparing others the sorry experience of trying the milk for themselves. Some human signals are naturally understood. Imagine you look out your window and observe a passerby hurrying along the sidewalk with his arms wrapped around himself. Your first reaction would undoubtedly be, “It’s cold and windy outside.” In a one-on-one conversation, a person with their arms crossed sends an unspoken signal that they are protecting their personal space. That person might, however, simply be tired or cold. Brain researchers explain that feelings happen before our thoughts. The time between them is very short, but that’s long enough for an observant human to sense the hunger, anger, impatience or happiness of another person directly. Humans are experts at quickly understanding another person’s attitude, and they do it before a single sentence is spoken. People naturally make eye contact when meeting another human. Even though some adults have learned to generally control basic facial features, the eyes tell us much. When a person looks into the eyes of someone they admire, their pupils (瞳孔) may widen, the same as when they see an object that they want very much. Body language creates an impression on anyone and everyone you meet. To make a positive impression, smile when you meet someone. Body language isn’t mind-reading nor does it give insight into what another person is thinking. When reading people carefully, body language helps you understand what another person wants or plans to do. 51. Which of the following is NOT body language? A. Hand gestures. B. Posture. C. Tone. D. Facial expressions. 52. What do we know from Paragraphs 2 through 4? A. Body language communicates people’s discomfort. B. Body language expresses what people can’t say. C. People often use the same body language to show their feelings. D People make mistakes when understanding others’ body language. 53. How can we leave others with a good impression according to the author? A. By observing others carefully. B. By looking at others’ eyes naturally. C. By expressing our thoughts directly. D. By making a friendly expression. 54 How does the passage mainly develop? A. By making comparisons. B. By providing examples. C. By presenting research findings. D. By following the order of importance. 55. What is the best title for the text? A. Read people like books B. Thoughts or feelings C. Use body language well D.
