Ⅳ.阅读理解
Watching the behavior and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare,new research suggests.
The new review,by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester,says closer observation of animal behaviors—a method called Qualitative Behavioral Assessment,developed in farming—could show even more about animals’ state of mind.
An animal’s positioning of its body,facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited,calm,interested,nervous,relaxed,etc.
“Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals,and they will often recognise an animal’s state of mind by its behavior and body language,” said Dr.Paul Rose,of the University of Exeter.
“What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this,carried out over time.”
“Certain behaviors will show certain moods in an animal,and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos.For example,lions have a lot of facial expressions,and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals’ state of mind.This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets,feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept.”
Dr.Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre,and is now examining how the swans there might show their state of mind through their behavioral expression.
“We’re looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat,which could show how they’re feeling,” he said.“When they’re unsure,they appear to move less and be more careful,and draw their feathers close to their bodies.”
The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioral Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos.“Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years,and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals,” Dr.Rose said.
1.What do the university researchers suggest?
A.Closer observation of zoo animals’ behaviors.
B.More studies on the welfare of zoo animals.
C.More attention to farm animals’ body language.
D.Greater improvements of farm animals’ welfare.
2.Why does the author mention lions?
A.Because he wants to show the uncertainty of animal body language.
B.Because he wants to show body language differs in different animals.
C.Because he wants to show lions change their expressions easily.
D.Because he wants to show lions are treated badly in zoos.
3.What has Dr.Rose found about the swans?
A.They have more facial expressions than lions.
B.They appear confident most of the time.
C.They spend little time in their habitat.
D.They move little in fearful situations.
4.What does Dr.Rose express in the last paragraph?
A.Animal welfare in zoos is worrying.
B.Farm animals enjoy greater welfare than zoo animals.
C.Qualitative Behavioral Assessment is purposeful.
D.Zoos do a good job in recognising animal body language.
Ⅴ.七选五
Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language?The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. 1 .This skill develops as we grow older,which is called non-verbal communication.
Body language helps us communicate how we’re feeling without saying much at all.Think about a time when you were very angry.Did you clench (咬紧) your teeth?Did your palms get sweaty when you were anxious?In most cultures,these cues (线索) that reveal emotional states are quite common.But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures.Take touch for example. 2 .In India,however,the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet,not by shaking their hands.
In some places,gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same.But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures.For example,the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India,but in Turkey,this symbol is considered offensive(冒犯性的). 3 .
So,what should we do?Should we not use gestures at all?Of course not. 4 .No matter how much we try to stop ourselves,we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.
5 ,you’d better make a quick search on the Internet or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals,and avoid offending them during your stay!
A.It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
B.So,the next time you decide to travel to another country
C.When you flash the “OK” sign there,you’re asking for a fight.
D.They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.
E.Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad.
F.Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication.
G.A general way of saying “Hello” in western culture is a brief handshake.

Ⅷ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My friend invited me to a trapeze (高空秋千) class.I was doubtful because of a lack of courage and a short of self-confidence,but her enthusiasm and assurances of strict safety rules won me over.
I had been fearful of heights since elementary school and avoiding my fear of heights became second nature.But here I was,at age twenty-six,facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way.I had come around to the idea of trying trapeze.I figured it wasn’t much different from swinging (舞动) on the monkey bars as a kid.One difficulty I didn’t expect was the ladder (梯子).In order to reach the trapeze,I had to climb up a twenty-two-foot ladder.
I could hear one of my classmates expressing her impatience with my slow climb up the ladder.“If she’s afraid of heights,why did she sign up for a trapeze class?” However,my friend was at the top of the ladder,trying to encourage me.Besides,his distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task.I found a rhythm(节奏) and kept going.With a slow and steady pace,I made it to the top.The cheers from my classmates rang out below.
An instructor told me to step to the edge of the platform.He reminded me of the safety rules,including the net below that would catch me at the bottom.He also asked me to listen to the directions while in the air,so I could perform a trick.
As the instructor counted down,I took a deep breath and pushed off the platform,swinging back and forth.At that moment,I lost awareness of time and space.Fortunately,the instructor’s voice came over the loudspeaker,giving me step-by-step instructions for performing a trick.Instead of doubting my inability to perform the trick,I took his directions one step at a time.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
During my flight on the trapeze,my fear didn’t completely leave me.
This experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching other challenges.

1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,研究发现观察动物园动物行为和肢体语言有重要意义,结合第二段可知,研究人员肯定了动物园近年来取得的进步,但认为仍然需要更密切的观察。由此推知,研究人员会建议更仔细地观察动物园里动物的行为。故选A项。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Certain behaviors will show certain moods in an animal...could help zoos understand the animals’ state of mind.”可知,作者提到狮子是为了表明生活在动物园里的不同动物表现情绪的肢体语言不同。故选B项。

Boys and girls,
It’s my great honor/privilege to be here to give/deliver a speech about body language.
Body language plays an important role in people’s daily interaction with others.Not only can it help you make yourself more easily understood but it also makes you adjust to new environment as soon as possible.How do we put body language to good use?First and foremost,when communicating with others,you need to keep smiling and maintain eye contact.This will show others that you are a good listener and in turn they will listen to you.What’s more,while listening to others,you need to nod your head from time to time to demonstrate that you’re paying attention.Last but not least,you’re encouraged to use gestures to express your thoughts.
Hopefully,you can realize the importance of body language and the above-mentioned tips will go a long way towards your interaction with others.Thank you.
Ⅷ.During my flight on the trapeze,my fear didn’t completely leave me.My palms were clammy,my heart was racing,and my mouth was dry.But I turned down the dial of my fear so I could be present in the experience.I focused my thoughts on the instructor’s voice instead of my internal dialogue about what could go wrong.In the end,I successfully completed the task.I couldn’t believe I had actually done it!
This experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching other challenges.I became more capable of overcoming my fear and learned to believe in myself.I became more open to try new things.After my trapeze flight,I took an archery class,went on my first kayaking trip,and hiked along a 200-foot cliff in Nova Scotia.While these experiences made my heart pound,I completed them,one step at a time.Whether my steps were small or big on the ground or in midair,I wanted to keep stepping out of my comfort zone.
