A. To talk about the origin of the high-five hand gesture.
B. To show the popularity of the high-five hand gesture.
C. To make a comparison between two other hand gestures.
13. What is an original meaning of the handshake gesture?
A. Gratitude. B. Love. C. Respect.
【答案】11. B 12. A 13. C
【解析】
【原文】 M: Good afternoon, everyone. Earlier on in today’s lecture, I mentioned the importance of hand gestures and said that I’d touch on the history of the gestures. I’d like to focus on two in particular: the high five and the handshake. The high-five hand gesture is generally used as a celebration. Many see its origins in baseball. Two US teams lay claim to inventing the high five: the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1977 and the Louisville Cardinals in 1978. It’s quite likely that it was neither, and the gesture might have a much earlier origin. It’s very similar to a 1920s Jazz Age gesture known as the “low five” or “giving skin”. The other gesture I’m going to mention today is the handshake. It dates back as far as ancient Greece. Its original meaning is to convey trust, respect and equality. In the 17th-century European marriage paintings, we find many examples of handshakes between husband and wife. Now, of course, the handshake serves many purposes: meeting, greeting, expressing gratitude or completing an agreement. Besides, it’s also used to offer congratulations, which serves the same purpose as the high five.

According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them dangerous. It is reported that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000 vehicle-animal accidents each year. In the country’s under-populated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have rocketed to “pandemic (大规模流行的) percentage”.
It is believed that killing kangaroos is critical to boosting the economy. Meat, skins and leather from kangaroos have been sold to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma and Adidas buy strong, soft “k-leather” to make athletic products. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.
Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat is more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-releasing sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food from animals adapted to Australia’s environment is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”
Opponents of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable and unnecessary. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking in this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”
Can Australians’ disagreement on kangaroos be solved? George Wilson, a professor from Australian National University, says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers (放牧人) would protect the animals, treating them as possessions (财产). They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunters a fee for access. “If you want to protect something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered dangerous don’t have value.” If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.
24. What do we know from the article?
A. Kangaroos are to blame for most accidents.
B. Global brands make small profits on kangaroos.
C. Kangaroos are relatively friendly to the environment.
D. Over-populated kangaroos are doing great harm to the country’s economy.
25. Why does Dwayne Bannon disagree to kill kangaroos?
A. Because it is laughable. B. Because it is destroying the country.
C. Because they have existed on Earth longer than man. D. Because they live in harmony with people.
26. Which of the following might be the benefit of privatization (私有化)?
A. The popularity of kangaroo hunting. B. The reduction in the number of kangaroos.
C. The establishment of more conservation areas. D. The better management of the kangaroo industry.
27. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To argue against the killing of kangaroos.
B. To provide a solution to the problem caused by kangaroos.
C. To present different opinions on the kangaroo industry.
D. To stress the importance of protecting kangaroos.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要就袋鼠在澳大利亚的影响展开讨论,介绍了其经济与生态效益,以及对于袋鼠管理的不同观点。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat is more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-releasing sheep and cattle. (支持者指出,低脂、高蛋白袋鼠肉比释放温室气体的绵羊和牛更环保)”可知,袋鼠是比绵羊和牛更环保的动物,即相对而言袋鼠对环境更友好。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking in this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.” (新南威尔士州尤因人Dwayne Bannon Harrison表示,袋鼠正在摧毁这个国家的想法是可笑的。他说:“它们在这片土地上行走的时间比人们长得多。”。“在这里存在了数千年的物种怎么会“摧毁”这个国家?我不明白其中的逻辑。”)”可知,Dwayne Bannon认为在这片土地上,袋鼠比人类存在的时间更长,即袋鼠本来就生活在这里,所以Dwayne Bannon不同意杀死袋鼠。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation. (如果袋鼠比牛或羊更有价值,土地所有者将与袋鼠产业合作进行品牌、营销和质量控制。政府的作用将是监督和监管)”可知,私有化之后,土地所有者可以与袋鼠产业在各方面进行合作,同时得到政府的监督和监管,即私有化会使得袋鼠产业得到更好的管理。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them dangerous. (根据政府官方数据,袋鼠的数量是澳大利亚人的两倍多,许多澳大利亚人认为它们很危险)”。第二段“It is believed that killing kangaroos is critical to boosting the economy.(人们认为,杀死袋鼠对促进经济发展至关重要)”以及最后一段“George Wilson, a professor from Australian National University, says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers (放牧人) would protect the animals, treating them as possessions (财产). They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunters a fee for access.(澳大利亚国立大学教授乔治·威尔逊说,如果袋鼠是私人所有的,那么牧场主就会保护这些动物,把它们当作财产)”可知,文章开头提出问题,袋鼠使得人们面临危机,后文提出不同的解决方法,所以文章的写作目的是为袋鼠造成的问题提供解决方案。故选B。
C
Valerie, a cute dachshund (腊肠犬), had an incredible adventure. She spent 529days all by herself on Kangaroo Island in Australia before finally being rescued, and her story captured the hearts of many people.
Valerie made her escape during a camping trip with owners Georgia Gardner and her partner Josh Fishlock, dashing out of a pen (围栏) and straight into the bush. Her worried owners searched for days - across the large island, which covers more than 4,400 square kilometers of farms, nature reserves, and rock y cliffs. But they had no luck and finally gave up. The missing dachshund was not seen for more than a year,with many holding out little hope for her survival.
Then, video cameras and locals began spotting her and volunteers launched a patient hunt for her. Volunteer searchers drove more than 5,000 kilometers and used cameras, traps and special food to attract her. But Valerie seemed to flee from people and cars. “Valerie seems impossible to trap,” a wildlife rescuer posted on social media last month.
After spending more than 1,000 hours on the search, the volunteers finally succeeded. The wildlife rescue group was overjoyed and relieved to announce that Valerie was safe and sound. She would soon return to her loving owners.
“Bred to be an independent hunter of dangerous prey, they can be brave to the point of rashness, and a bit stubborn,” the rescue group said.
Valerie’ s owner Gardner said in a social media post she was “incredibly grateful” to the volunteers who helped find her dog. For anyone who’ s ever lost a pet, your feelings are valid and never give up hope.
28. What happened to Valerie during the camping trip?
A. She fell off a rocky cliff.
B. She was attacked by wild animals.
C. She was left behind by her owners.
D. She got lost after running out of a pen.
29. Why was it difficult for the volunteers to catch Valerie?
A. She could hide in the thick bush easily.
B. She was too fast for the volunteers to follow.
C. She was accustomed to living alone on the island.
D. She was so cautious that she always avoided people.
30. What can we infer from Gardner’s words on social media?
A. Lost pets are often hunted in the wild.
B. People should keep their pets at home.
C. Never lose hope when pets go missing.
D. Dachshunds are the bravest dog breed.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Dog’s Amazing Adventure B. Tips for Pet Protection
C. The Efforts of Rescue Volunteers D. The Survival of Dachshunds
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述宠物犬Valerie和主人走失在澳大利亚的袋鼠岛上独自度过了529天后最终获救的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Valerie made her escape during a camping trip with owners Georgia Gardner and her partner Josh Fishlock, dashing out of a pen (围栏) and straight into the bush.(Valerie是在一次露营旅行中逃脱的,当时她和主人Georgia Gardner以及她的伴侣Josh Fishlock一起从围栏里跑出来,直接跑进了灌木丛里)”可知,Valerie在露营旅行中从围栏里跑出来后走丢了。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Volunteer searchers drove more than 5,000 kilometers and used cameras, traps and special food to attract her. But Valerie seemed to flee from people and cars.(志愿者们驱车5000多公里,用相机、陷阱和特殊食物来吸引她。但Valerie似乎在躲避人群和汽车)”可知,志愿者很难找到Valerie是因为它很谨慎,总是躲避人群,故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Valerie’ s owner Gardner said in a social media post she was “incredibly grateful” to the volunteers who helped find her dog. For anyone who’ s ever lost a pet, your feelings are valid and never give up hope.(Valerie的主人Gardner在社交媒体上发帖说,她“非常感谢”帮助找到她的狗的志愿者。对于那些曾经失去宠物的人来说,你的感觉是合理的,永远不要放弃希望)”可知,Gardner认为宠物丢失后不要放弃希望,故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“Valerie, a cute dachshund (腊肠犬), had an incredible adventure. She spent 529days all by herself on Kangaroo Island in Australia before finally being rescued, and her story captured the hearts of many people.(Valerie,一只可爱的腊肠犬,有一段不可思议的冒险。她在澳大利亚的袋鼠岛上独自度过了529天,最终获救,她的故事俘获了许多人的心)”可知,文章主要讲述宠物犬Valerie和主人走失在澳大利亚的袋鼠岛上独自度过了529天后最终获救的故事,A项“一只狗的奇妙冒险”最适合作为标题,故选A。

The eyes of an artist are special. They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement.
“Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device.
Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.”
Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways. That’s what we want to show.”
Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine.
32. What’s special about Emily Shifflet?
A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents.
C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes.
33. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox?
A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter.
C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome.
34. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online?
A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities.
C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life.
35. What does the text indicate?
A. Art originates from life but is higher than life.
B. Technology has made our life worth living.
C. The early bird catches the worm.

【导语】主要说明了象脚鼓舞是傣族代表性传统舞蹈,2008年入选国家级非遗。原本由男子表演,舞步源自武术,表演讲究体态节奏,傣族后人以各自方式传承这项传统艺术。
【56题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:2008年,它被认定为国家级非物质文化遗产项目。主语it与谓语构成被动关系,结合In 2008可知为一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用单数。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:传统上,象脚鼓舞是由男性来表演的。修饰后文句子用副词traditionally,首字母大写。
【58题详解】
考查代词。句意:由于其舞蹈动作源自传统的傣族武术,所以想要学习这种艺术的人必须先学习武术。修饰名词steps用形容词性物主代词its。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:否则,他们可能会缺乏完成舞蹈所需的体力和灵活性。作动词的宾语,用名词strength。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这种舞蹈对初学者来说在体力上颇具挑战性,因为它要求他们携带鼓,保持良好的平衡,并跟上节奏。表示“有挑战性的”,作表语,用形容词challenging。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种舞蹈对初学者来说在体力上颇具挑战性,因为它要求他们携带鼓,保持良好的平衡,并跟上节奏。短语require sb. to do sth.表示“需要某人做某事”。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:在表演过程中,舞者会将鼓背负在左肩上,鼓面朝前,鼓柄朝后。此处为并列结构鼓面朝向前,末端朝向后,用连词and。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种被称为“象脚鼓”的乐器,因其外形酷似大象的脚而得名,是傣族人所使用的著名乐器。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词,先行词The elephant-foot drum在从句作主语,指物,故用which引导。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:舞者的右手用拳头、手掌和指尖击打鼓面,而左手则辅助完成动作。由于鼓很长,大多数舞蹈动作都是通过舞者的腿部来完成的,比如下蹲、抬起一条腿以及踢腿等动作。作主语用名词movement,结合are可知为复数。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:无论舞者们是严格遵循傣族的传统,还是创造出新的文化表现形式,一代又一代的傣族象脚鼓舞者都在以各自的方式传承着这一传统艺术。短语in one’s own ways表示“以自己的方式”。

67. 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 parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, then my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Mom,” I said on our way home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We will have fun!”
“OK, kids!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing in the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here goes!” Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself-and me!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version
“I can’t believe this is happening” was all I could think. I closed my eyes, covered my ears and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. After a few seconds, though. I gathered courage to uncover one ear and peek through a half-open eye. That’s when I saw the expression of pure joy on my mom’s face. She was having so much fun that I couldn’t help smiling. My classmates clapped and cheered, and I heard someone say, “Wow! Arizona’s mother is pretty talented!”
My mom turned out to be very good at performing. She was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps. too. We learned quickly. By the time of the fair, I was actually proud of her for putting herself out there for us kids. Our performance at the Winter Fair was a huge success. As we drove home, I said to my mom, “I’m really glad you volunteered to help my class with the performance.” My mom reached back and squeezed my hand. “Thanks for saying that. I can see why you might have been embarrassed, but I had such a great time.”

It is reported that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000 vehicle-animal accidents each year. In the country’s under-populated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have rocketed to “pandemic (大规模流行的) percentage”.
It is believed that killing kangaroos is critical to boosting the economy. Meat, skins and leather from kangaroos have been sold to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma and Adidas buy strong, soft “k-leather” to make athletic products. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.
Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat is more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-releasing sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food from animals adapted to Australia’s environment is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”
Opponents of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable and unnecessary. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking in this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”
Can Australians’ disagreement on kangaroos be solved? George Wilson, a professor from Australian National University, says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers (放牧人) would protect the animals, treating them as possessions (财产). They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunters a fee for access. “If you want to protect something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered dangerous don’t have value.” If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.

Valerie, a cute dachshund (腊肠犬), had an incredible adventure. She spent 529days all by herself on Kangaroo Island in Australia before finally being rescued, and her story captured the hearts of many people.
Valerie made her escape during a camping trip with owners Georgia Gardner and her partner Josh Fishlock, dashing out of a pen (围栏) and straight into the bush. Her worried owners searched for days - across the large island, which covers more than 4,400 square kilometers of farms, nature reserves, and rock y cliffs. But they had no luck and finally gave up. The missing dachshund was not seen for more than a year,with many holding out little hope for her survival.
Then, video cameras and locals began spotting her and volunteers launched a patient hunt for her. Volunteer searchers drove more than 5,000 kilometers and used cameras, traps and special food to attract her. But Valerie seemed to flee from people and cars. “Valerie seems impossible to trap,” a wildlife rescuer posted on social media last month.
After spending more than 1,000 hours on the search, the volunteers finally succeeded. The wildlife rescue group was overjoyed and relieved to announce that Valerie was safe and sound. She would soon return to her loving owners.
“Bred to be an independent hunter of dangerous prey, they can be brave to the point of rashness, and a bit stubborn,” the rescue group said.
Valerie’ s owner Gardner said in a social media post she was “incredibly grateful” to the volunteers who helped find her dog. For anyone who’ s ever lost a pet, your feelings are valid and never give up hope.
28. What happened to Valerie during the camping trip?

B. People should keep their pets at home.
C. Never lose hope when pets go missing.
D. Dachshunds are the bravest dog breed.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?

The eyes of an artist are special. They can see things others can’t notice and create beautiful art forms from their imagination. In the case of 27-year-old Emily Shifflet, she creates her art literally using only her eyes, as she lives with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic and developmental disorder that limits speech and movement.
“Although Emily lives with a condition that has silenced her, she is still able to communicate and express herself through art, and she is an example that people living with Rett syndrome can have lives filled with purpose and creativity,” said Emily’s mother, Jenny Shifflet. Emily creates her art using a special digital software operated by her eyes called Tobii Dynavox. She was able to learn and practice her painting by using the digital painter software on her communication device.
Meghan Winslow, owner of a family art studio, said, “I love the diversity of the different designs based upon the different painting tools that she can select. It’s an amazing mix of science, technology and art.”
Emily has always been exposed to music and art. Tobii Dynavox has really helped her communicate how she was feeling. The painting tool was truly a game-changer. “Emily could finally use the only muscle she has to be creative,” Jenny said. Jenny noticed the art Emily was creating a few years ago and thought they could make nice gifts. She now sells her one-of-a-kind artwork through her website, Eye Gaze Designs by Emily. “Her artwork is a gift,” Jenny said. “It is showing people that individuals with different abilities can be creative and successful in different ways. That’s what we want to show.”
Emily’s artwork has also appeared in Hershey Medical Center and The Art of Pennsylvania. She also serves as a guest artist at SPLAT-A Family Art Studio in Annville and Hershey, Pennsylvania. She simply continues to shine.
32. What’s special about Emily Shifflet?
A. She is able to paint with her eyes. B. She has trained many artistic talents.
C. She is good at developing digital software. D. She can see herself reflected in artists eyes.
33. What do we know about Tobii Dynavox?
A. It can assist in artistic creation. B. It’s a digital product of a painter.
C. It can perform an eye operation. D. It’s a treatment for Rett syndrome.
34. Why does Jenny sell her daughter’s artwork online?
A. To make it gifts for people in need. B. To raise money for people with disabilities.
C. To inspire people to seek their own success. D. To invite people to take up art creation in life.
35. What does the text indicate?
A. Art originates from life but is higher than life.
B. Technology has made our life worth living.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. Technology breaks down barriers.

My parents do a lot of embarrassing things! Usually, it’s my dad who sings silly songs or tells jokes around my friends. But a few weeks ago, it was my mother who played the embarrassing-parent role.
While my mom and I were shopping, we ran into my teacher, who mentioned the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair. And, then my mom said, “I know the perfect song and dance. I’ll teach it to the kids!”
Before I could say “Please don’t”, my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9:30 for a week. Oh, and just to be clear, it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer. My parents run a small grocery store, and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.
“Mom,” I said on our way home, “Are you sure this is such a good idea?” “Of course!” she said. “If we want your school Winter Fair to happen, people need to step up and volunteer.” She laughed, “We will have fun!”
“OK, kids!” my teacher said at 9:28 on Monday. “We’re going to stop silent reading a little early today because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair. Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”
I looked up to discover my mom standing in the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat. “I’m super excited to be here with you!” my mom said, “I’m going to teach you a fun little song-and-dance performance I learned a few years ago. Here goes!” Oh please, oh please, I said over and over in my head, let there be a fire drill, or a power failure, or anything to stop my mom from completely embarrassing herself-and me!
But apparently, my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly. She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Earlier on, in today's lecture, I mentioned the importance of hand gestures and said that i'd touch on the history of the gestures. I'd like to focus on two, in particular the high five and the handshake. The high five hand gesture is generally used as a celebration. Many see its origins in baseball. Two U. S. Teams lay camm to inventing the high five, the los Angeles dodgers in nineteen seventy seven and the louville cardinals in nineteen seventy eight. It's quite likely that IT was neither er, and the gesture might have a much earlier origin. It's very similar to one thousand and twenty is jazz age gesture known as the low five or giving skin. The other gesture i'm going to mention today is the handshake IT dates back as far as ancient greece. Its original meaning is to convey trust, respect and quality. In the seventeen th century european marriage paintings, we find many examples of hand shapes between husband and wife. Now, of course, the handshake serves many purposes, meeting, greeting, expressing gratitude or completing an agreement. Besides, it's also used to offer congratulations, which serves the same purpose as the high five. Good afternoon, everyone.
