Do you know any English idioms (习语) about books? 1 As we all know, one main part of a book is the cover. You may know this saying, “Don’t judge (评判) a book by its cover.” That’s to say, you shouldn’t judge something or someone just by what they look like. 2 But the inside of the book may not be great. The same goes for people. 3 If we say a book is a real page-turner, it means the book is very interesting, exciting or enjoyable. You cannot wait to turn the page to find out what happens next. 4 It means stopping thinking about something bad. There’s another idiom about the page. It’s “to take a page from someone’s book”. It means doing something in the way someone else would do it. For example, Joe really wants to join the basketball team. 5 So he works hard and never gives up like others. Finally, all his work pays off and he joins the team. We could all take a page from his book and not give up either. 根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整通顺。 A．Here are some of them.

It includes facial expressions, eyes, touching, and tone of voice, as well as the space between two or more people. 1 One of the most common forms of body language is gestures. Some children throw their hands up in the air or walk off with heavy feet to show they are angry. 2 Each child is different, so it is important to spend time with a child to learn her gestures and meanings. Another kind of body language is facial expressions. It is easy to know when children like or dislike something. 3 Reading facial expressions, together with asking the right questions, will help you better understand what she is thinking or feeling. A child’s use of space depends on her family and cultural environment. If a child is raised in a family that is very physically affectionate (举止亲昵的), she will be more comfortable with physical contact. However, a child raised in a non-physically affectionate family may be uncomfortable in the same situation. 4 Knowing the differences in different children will help you understand each child. The tone of a child’s voice will help to understand the message she’s sending. 5 If a child is saying she is happy, but her tone sounds different, you may want to ask a few questions to see if she is being honest. A．Everyone has personal space, even children. B．If a child sounds happy, she most probably is happy. C．Facial expressions give away what a child is thinking or feeling. D．Understanding the body language of children is important to parents. E．Gestures are usually paired up with spoken communication, but they don’t have to be. 【答案】1. D 2. E 3. C 4. A 5.

One key to long-term success is working towards the goal (目标) all the time. Most successful language learners make sure they spend a few minutes practicing every day. 2 In the long run, they show much slower progress than those who practice daily. The second habit of successful language learners is that they don’t study too much and too long at a time. 3 And then after a break, they continue. Over a longer time, they make progress. 4 But it has been proved (证明) that one slowly forgets what he or she has learned over time. Let’s be honest.

They shared with us some of their habits.”可知，约12亿人在学外语，而下文转而介绍成功的语言学习者及其习惯，此处存在转折关系；选项B“然而，并非所有人都能成功。”承上启下，符合逻辑。故选B。 2. 根据上文“Most successful language learners make sure they spend a few minutes practicing every day.”和下文“In the long run, they show much slower progress than those who practice daily.”可知，上文强调成功学习者每天花时间练习，而下文则说明他们的进步比每天练习的人慢，那么此处应介绍进步慢的语言学习者的情况；选项D“有些学习者只在课堂上练习。”与“每天练习”形成对比，解释了“进步慢”的原因，符合语境。故选D。 3. 根据上文“The second habit of successful language learners is that they don’t study too much and too long at a time.”可知，成功学习者不会一次学太多、太久，那么此处应进一步说明成功学习者的学习方式；选项C“相反，他们每次学习时间很短。”承接上文，与“之后休息再继续”呼应，体现“短时间、多频次”的学习方式，逻辑一致。故选C。 4. 根据下文“But it has been proved that one slowly forgets what he or she has learned over time. Let’s be honest. Do you still remember all the English words and expressions you learned last year?”可知，人会逐渐忘记所学内容，并以“是否记得去年学的单词”举例，强调复习的重要性；选项E“有些学习者总想学尽可能多的新材料。”与“忘记旧知识”形成对比，引出“复习旧内容”的必要性，符合上下文语境。故选E。 5. 根据下文“Learning a second language well is a long process—it should take time!”可知，学好第二语言是长期过程，需要时间；选项A“如果这需要时间，别担心。”与下文呼应，安抚学习者的心态，总结全文建议，符合结尾语境。故选A。 16 / 17乐思英语 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $考前语法精练 专题J873五选五 单元话题特训（新教材仁爱科普版） Unit 7 Be a Better Learner! 做更好的学习者 姓名：___________班级：___________座号：___________ 内容提要 初阶练手 进阶提升 能力突破 Passage 1 Books are a necessary part of our life. Do you know any English idioms (习语) about books? 1 As we all know, one main part of a book is the cover. You may know this saying, “Don’t judge (评判) a book by its cover.” That’s to say, you shouldn’t judge something or someone just by what they look like. 2 But the inside of the book may not be great. The same goes for people. 3 If we say a book is a real page-turner, it means the book is very interesting, exciting or enjoyable. You cannot wait to turn the page to find out what happens next. 4 It means stopping thinking about something bad. There’s another idiom about the page. It’s “to take a page from someone’s book”. It means doing something in the way someone else would do it. For example, Joe really wants to join the basketball team. 5 So he works hard and never gives up like others. Finally, all his work pays off and he joins the team. We could all take a page from his book and not give up either. 根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整通顺。 A．Here are some of them. B．But he’s not as good as others. C．The cover of a book may look nice. D．Another part of a book is the page. E．However, to turn the page also has a different meaning.

It includes facial expressions, eyes, touching, and tone of voice, as well as the space between two or more people. 1 One of the most common forms of body language is gestures. Some children throw their hands up in the air or walk off with heavy feet to show they are angry. 2 Each child is different, so it is important to spend time with a child to learn her gestures and meanings. Another kind of body language is facial expressions. It is easy to know when children like or dislike something. 3 Reading facial expressions, together with asking the right questions, will help you better understand what she is thinking or feeling. A child’s use of space depends on her family and cultural environment. If a child is raised in a family that is very physically affectionate (举止亲昵的), she will be more comfortable with physical contact. However, a child raised in a non-physically affectionate family may be uncomfortable in the same situation. 4 Knowing the differences in different children will help you understand each child. The tone of a child’s voice will help to understand the message she’s sending. 5 If a child is saying she is happy, but her tone sounds different, you may want to ask a few questions to see if she is being honest. A．Everyone has personal space, even children. B．If a child sounds happy, she most probably is happy. C．Facial expressions give away what a child is thinking or feeling.
