Mr Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don’t speak the native tongue, based on his own experience. Here are a few of them. ●Download a Language Translation App Mr Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them. Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing. ●Speak with Your Hands and Head Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in. “Gestures are all universally understood,” he said. ●Work with a Local Travel Agent If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and destination’s languages can be incredibly useful. ●Hire a Local Tour Guide A tour guide can help you get a better understanding of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language,” he said. 21．(2.5分)In what situation should a language translation app be applied while travelling abroad? A．When you want to acknowledge your ignorance. B．When you have trouble pronouncing the words. C．When you want to practice the local language. D．When you feel uncomfortable in the country. 22．(2.5分)What is the easy way to communicate with foreigners according to the text? A．Downloading a language translation app. B．Learning a few key words. C．Using body language. D．Working with a guide. 23．(2.5分)How can you better understand the local language? A．By speaking with your hands and head. B．By learning a few key words. C．By downloading a language translation app. D．By hiring a local tour guide. （本题10分）Ken Wallace went to the Starbucks in Nashville, Tennessee as usual to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. This morning when he went to the café, he noticed that something was wrong. A black man was in the store’s parking lot shouting at Leonessa Ward, the general manager of the Starbucks. The manager said, “A waiter told me that you are asking the customers for money, so...” “I just locked my keys in my car! And I didn’t have the money to hire a locksmith (锁匠)! How can you say I’m asking the customers for money?” the black man shouted at the manager angrily. Wallace, who is also a black man, approached the two people in the hope that he could help clear the air. But Ward went inside to call upper management to ask how to deal with the situation. Then, she came out and said to the man, “I’ve gotten permission from our company; we’ll pay to open your car. We just want you to know if you think we’re attacking you, we’re not. That’s not who we are.” Hearing this, the black man just looked down and said, “Ma’am, if you would allow me the chance, I’d like to apologize to you.” The general manager finally bought the man breakfast and chatted with him before hugging the man, calling him a friend, and saying that he was free to come back any time. Wallace called it one of the most powerful experiences of his life. “You are only going to move misunderstanding away if you calm down and listen to others,” said Wallace. 24．(2.5分)What do we know about Ken Wallace?

D．We should remove misunderstanding properly. （本题10分）Plenty of scientific work proves that children, and even adults, who learn sign language, gain the benefits not only in the ability to communicate with other sign language users, but also in the wider academic world. Deaf children who learn sign language at an early age tend to perform better academically. This is partly due to their increased ability to communicate with those around them. However, it is also because sign language is not, as many people mistakenly think, a system of gestures representing words, but a complete and complex language system. Thus, children who learn sign language have already learnt about the way language works, which will help in future studies. Again, for non-deaf children and adults who learn sign language, the academic advantages spill over into social and cultural ones. Firstly, learning sign language allows the speaker to communicate with a whole new community of people and gain an understanding of how they communicate within their community. Secondly, learning a language gives rise to greater confidence for that person, as he is able to communicate with someone who may struggle to do so. And the skills of language learning can easily be applied to learning other languages but also to other academic pursuits. There can be no doubt that learning sign language is a useful endeavour for anyone — whether they are deaf themselves and live in a house with other deaf people or whether they are non-deaf and do not know anyone who is. The social, cultural and academic advantages of learning this complex language are diverse and should not be taken lightly. And, especially with children, learning a language which helps people with a disadvantage may encourage them in the future to do more — volunteering and other such work. This means that the non-deaf child can be given a sense of social responsibility at an early age and taught to embrace (接受) all people — not in spite of their differences but because of them. 28．(2.5分)What is sign language according to the author? A．It is a creative way of expressing ideas. B．It is a complete complex language system. C．It is a primary language of disabled people. D．It is a system of gestures representing words. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “endeavour” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Attempt. B．Experiment. C．Incident. D．Feedback. 30．(2.5分)What quality can a non-deaf child who learns sign language acquire? A．Being competitive. B．Being courageous. C．Being responsible. D．Being positive. 31．(2.5分)What conclusion can we draw from the text? A．Learning sign language brings people an advantage of finding a future job. B．The numerous advantages of learning sign language should be taken seriously. C．Non-deaf children should learn sign language due to the differences of the deaf people . D．It’s unnecessary for a non-deaf person who doesn’t know any deaf people to learn sign language. （本题10分）People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌恶的), angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.” In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified (多样化) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 32．(2.5分)The discovery shows that Westerners ________. A．consider facial expressions universally reliable B．observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways C．have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions D．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth 33．(2.5分)What were the people asked to do in the study? A．To classify some face pictures. B．To make a face at each other. C．To get their faces impressive. D．To observe the researchers’ faces. 34．(2.5分)What key weakness might critics highlight about the study’s design? A．Dependence on subjective emotion categorization. B．Lack of more diverse American cultural groups. C．Use of posed photos instead of natural expressions. D．Failure to track eye movements during observation. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the passage? A．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions B．The Eye as the Window to the Soul C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding （本题12.5分）At its most basic level, laughter affects our physical body. It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. 36(2.5分) This leads to several benefits. Increases heart health As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. 37(2.5分) One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps strengthen the benefits of humour on heart health. Reduces physical pain Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort. 38(2.5分) Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers. 39(2.5分) Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression. Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh. Boosts immunity Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. 40(2.5分) Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes. A．Improves sleep. B．Improves social communication. C．Laughter helps reduce daily stress. D．This is much like how our body responds to exercise. E．These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness. F．But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception. G．Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Last summer, I had the opportunity to attend an international summer camp. It was exciting, yet I soon encountered an unexpected challenge. My roommate, Ahmed from Egypt, was friendly, but I found his habit of standing 41 close, when talking to me, hard to accept. I instinctively stepped back, which seemed to 42 him. The atmosphere grew tense, and I began to 43 my own behavior. Later, in a culture-sharing session, I learned that in many Arab countries, standing close 44 trust and warmth, while in my culture, more personal space is preferred. This was not about right or wrong; it 45 different cultural norms. I realized my step back might have been 46 as a sign of coldness or rejection. With this new 47 , I decided to bridge the gap. I explained my feelings to Ahmed 48 ,  and he shared his perspective. We agreed to 49 a middle ground.  This experience taught me that cultural differences, though sometimes causing 50 , can lead to deeper understanding if we approach them with 51 minds. It is not about changing who we are, but about 52 the beautiful diversity of human interaction. Understanding begins when we choose to   53 beyond our own perspectives. After all, in our 54 world, the ability to navigate (驾驭) cultural differences is not just a skill, but a 55 for sincere connection. 41．(1分)A．friendly B．confidently C．purposefully D．uncomfortably 42．(1分)A．please B．embarrass C．comfort D．welcome 43．(1分)A．reflect on B．give up C．worry about D．object to 44．(1分)A．changes B．doubts C．challenges D．signals 45．(1分)A．explained B．represented C．caused D．hid 46．(1分)A．ignored B．interpreted C．introduced D．interrupted 47．(1分)A．problem B．language C．insight D．custom 48．(1分)A．angrily B．secretly C．frankly D．anxiously 49．(1分)A．find B．avoid C．cross D．lose 50．(1分)A．excitement B．comfort C．confusion D．joy 51．(1分)A．open B．closed C．narrow D．blank 52．(1分)A．judging B．fearing C．appreciating D．changing 53．(1分)A．look B．step C．turn D．speak 54．(1分)A．simple B．quiet C．disconnected D．interconnected 55．(1分)A．barrier B．necessity C．choice D．burden 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There were various formal greeting etiquettes in ancient China. Among them, the fist and palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic one. Today, though Chinese people usually shake hands when 56(1.5分) (meet) friends and relatives, they still perform the fist and palm salute when they are paying a visit to someone during the traditional Chinese New Year or attending wedding receptions, birthday 57(1.5分) (ceremony) or funerals. The fist and palm salute is one of the typical Chinese etiquettes 58(1.5分) a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the West Zhou Dynasty, people had already used this etiquette when meeting peers. Holding hands together 59(1.5分) (point) to themselves was a gesture of saying “I am not with any weapons 60(1.5分) I am not here to pick a fight.” Later, it became the etiquette for people to show respect and gratitude when meeting. Around 100 years ago, the handshake etiquette 61(1.5分) (introduce) to China. The holding fist salute is called Baoquan li in Chinese. The gesture of holding fist etiquette is that the right hand is made into 62(1.5分) fist, the left hand is to hold or cover the right fist. Make sure the left thumb is close to the index finger and does not point to yourself, as it indicates arrogance (傲慢). The holding fist salute shows the humility. The 63(1.5分) (big) difference to the fist and palm salute 64(1.5分) is commonly used in daily occasions is that the holding fist salute is often 65(1.5分) (wide) used among the kung fu masters and students. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，你的英国网友Peter即将首次来中国。他在邮件中向你倾诉，担心因不了解中国的肢体语言导致沟通不畅，甚至产生误会。请你根据以下要点给他回一封邮件： 1.理解他的担忧； 2.提供与中国人交流时实用的建议（可参考肢体语言、日常礼仪等方面）。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）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。 “The cleaners said I could pick our stuff today,” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school. “Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog?” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried. But he was worried. Big Dog was his favourite stuffed animal. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed—the shelf that was now charred (烧焦的) by the house fire. “I’m not sure what they were able to save,” Mom said. “They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I sure will miss those pictures.” Jet could tell she was really sad. “I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Then we’ll see if your Big Dog can come back to us.” Mom said before she hugged him good-bye and drove off. Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He clutched (紧抓) his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, his friends were playing games while his mind was completely occupied by Big Dog. RRRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class. Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished. Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. If only the photo album could somehow be saved, Jet thought. He wished there was a way to get those memories back, to bring a smile to his mom’s face again. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too! ”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 4 Body Language（较难版01）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）Which communication skill does the man probably need to work on?

C．Job seekers. 【答案】18．C 19．A 20．C 【原文】 M: So let's go over the key points again. First clothes. You need to make sure you wear the right kind of uniform. Perhaps your suit is perfect for a graduation ceremony, but is it the right one for work? Select the clothes that match the look you want. If you need to buy some new clothes then get used to wearing them for at least two days so that you don’t feel too awkward or self conscious. It’s okay if they are not brand new, but it’s not if they limit your performance. Next remember, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Walk in confidently and look as if you really want the job. When you sit down, sit up straight, keep your hands open and relaxed on your lap, don’t cross your arms or legs. However, a good first impression is not enough. You need to be smart when answering questions. If asked about the reason for quitting your last job, never criticize your past employers or bosses. It’s the kiss of death. Try to answer from a perspective like your personal development. It’ll show that you have matured and are ready to learn. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Travelling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language.

Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing. ●Speak with Your Hands and Head Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in. “Gestures are all universally understood,” he said. ●Work with a Local Travel Agent If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and destination’s languages can be incredibly useful. ●Hire a Local Tour Guide A tour guide can help you get a better understanding of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language,” he said. 21．(2.5分)In what situation should a language translation app be applied while travelling abroad? A．When you want to acknowledge your ignorance. B．When you have trouble pronouncing the words. C．When you want to practice the local language. D．When you feel uncomfortable in the country. 22．(2.5分)What is the easy way to communicate with foreigners according to the text? A．Downloading a language translation app. B．Learning a few key words.

This morning when he went to the café, he noticed that something was wrong. A black man was in the store’s parking lot shouting at Leonessa Ward, the general manager of the Starbucks. The manager said, “A waiter told me that you are asking the customers for money, so...” “I just locked my keys in my car! And I didn’t have the money to hire a locksmith (锁匠)! How can you say I’m asking the customers for money?” the black man shouted at the manager angrily. Wallace, who is also a black man, approached the two people in the hope that he could help clear the air. But Ward went inside to call upper management to ask how to deal with the situation. Then, she came out and said to the man, “I’ve gotten permission from our company; we’ll pay to open your car. We just want you to know if you think we’re attacking you, we’re not. That’s not who we are.” Hearing this, the black man just looked down and said, “Ma’am, if you would allow me the chance, I’d like to apologize to you.” The general manager finally bought the man breakfast and chatted with him before hugging the man, calling him a friend, and saying that he was free to come back any time.

And I didn’t have the money to hire a locksmith (锁匠)! How can you say I’m asking the customers for money?” the black man shouted at the manager angrily.(经理说：“一个服务员告诉我你在向顾客要钱，所以……”“我刚把钥匙锁在车里了！我也没钱雇锁匠！你怎么能说我在向顾客要钱？”黑人生气地对经理喊道)”可知，那个黑人生气是因为他被误认为是乞丐。故选B。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“But Ward went inside to call upper management to ask how to deal with the situation. Then, she came out and said to the man, “I’ve gotten permission from our company; we’ll pay to open your car. We just want you to know if you think we’re attacking you, we’re not.

Deaf children who learn sign language at an early age tend to perform better academically. This is partly due to their increased ability to communicate with those around them. However, it is also because sign language is not, as many people mistakenly think, a system of gestures representing words, but a complete and complex language system. Thus, children who learn sign language have already learnt about the way language works, which will help in future studies. Again, for non-deaf children and adults who learn sign language, the academic advantages spill over into social and cultural ones. Firstly, learning sign language allows the speaker to communicate with a whole new community of people and gain an understanding of how they communicate within their community. Secondly, learning a language gives rise to greater confidence for that person, as he is able to communicate with someone who may struggle to do so. And the skills of language learning can easily be applied to learning other languages but also to other academic pursuits. There can be no doubt that learning sign language is a useful endeavour for anyone — whether they are deaf themselves and live in a house with other deaf people or whether they are non-deaf and do not know anyone who is. The social, cultural and academic advantages of learning this complex language are diverse and should not be taken lightly. And, especially with children, learning a language which helps people with a disadvantage may encourage them in the future to do more — volunteering and other such work. This means that the non-deaf child can be given a sense of social responsibility at an early age and taught to embrace (接受) all people — not in spite of their differences but because of them. 28．(2.5分)What is sign language according to the author? A．It is a creative way of expressing ideas. B．It is a complete complex language system. C．It is a primary language of disabled people. D．It is a system of gestures representing words. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “endeavour” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Attempt. B．Experiment. C．Incident. D．Feedback. 30．(2.5分)What quality can a non-deaf child who learns sign language acquire? A．Being competitive. B．Being courageous. C．Being responsible. D．Being positive. 31．(2.5分)What conclusion can we draw from the text? A．Learning sign language brings people an advantage of finding a future job. B．The numerous advantages of learning sign language should be taken seriously. C．Non-deaf children should learn sign language due to the differences of the deaf people . D．It’s unnecessary for a non-deaf person who doesn’t know any deaf people to learn sign language. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了手语的优势众多且丰富。学习手语可以为人们带来学术优势，无论他们是否可以听到或耳聋，这种优势还会蔓延到社会和文化领域。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, it is also because sign language is not, as many people mistakenly think, a system of gestures representing words, but a complete and complex language system.(然而，这也是因为手语并不像许多人错误地认为的那样，是一个代表文字的手势系统，而是一个完整而复杂的语言系统)”可知，作者认为手语是一个完整的复杂的语言系统。故选B。 29．词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“whether they are deaf themselves and live in a house with other deaf people or whether they are non-deaf and do not know anyone who is. The social, cultural and academic advantages of learning this complex language are diverse and should not be taken lightly.(无论他们自己是聋哑人，与其他聋哑人住在一起，还是他们不是聋哑人，但不认识聋哑人。学习这门复杂的语言在社会、文化和学术方面的优势是多样的，不应该被轻视)”可知，学习手语对任何人来说都是有好处的，因此是一项有益的努力。由此可知，划线词endeavour与attempt“努力”意思一致。故选A。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This means that the non-deaf child can be given a sense of social responsibility at an early age and taught to embrace (接受) all people — not in spite of their differences but because of them.(这意味着非聋哑儿童可以在很小的时候就被赋予社会责任感，并被教导去拥抱所有的人——不是无视他们的不同，而是因为他们的不同)”可推知，学习手语使得非聋儿童可以在很小的时候就被赋予社会责任感。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据第一段“Plenty of scientific work proves that children, and even adults, who learn sign language, gain the benefits not only in the ability to communicate with other sign language users, but also in the wider academic world.(大量的科学研究证明，学习手语的儿童，甚至成年人，不仅在与其他手语使用者交流的能力上受益，而且在更广泛的学术领域也受益)”以及下文内容可知，文章论述了学习手语的优势，从学术优势蔓延到社会和文化领域，对聋哑人和非聋哑人，孩子及成年人来说，学习手语都是有益的。由此推知，学习手语的许多好处应该被认真对待。故选B。 （本题10分）People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌恶的), angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.” In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified (多样化) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 32．(2.5分)The discovery shows that Westerners ________. A．consider facial expressions universally reliable B．observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways C．have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions D．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth 33．(2.5分)What were the people asked to do in the study? A．To classify some face pictures. B．To make a face at each other. C．To get their faces impressive. D．To observe the researchers’ faces. 34．(2.5分)What key weakness might critics highlight about the study’s design? A．Dependence on subjective emotion categorization. B．Lack of more diverse American cultural groups. C．Use of posed photos instead of natural expressions. D．Failure to track eye movements during observation. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the passage? A．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions B．The Eye as the Window to the Soul C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究发现东西方人识别面部表情存在差异，因二者关注的面部部位不同，且面部表情并非通用的人类情绪信号。 32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.(西方人会同等地关注眼睛和嘴巴，而东方人更关注眼睛，忽视嘴巴)”可知，西方人对眼睛和嘴巴给予同等的关注。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第五段中“The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.(研究人员记录了13名西方白人和13名东亚人的眼球运动，这些受试者观察带有表情的面部照片并将其分类为开心、悲伤、惊讶、恐惧、厌恶、愤怒或中性，以此研究面部表情识别中的文化差异)”可知，研究中受试者被要求对一些面部照片进行分类。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据第五段中研究的操作方式“they observed pictures of expressive faces(他们观察带有表情的面部照片)” 可知，研究使用的是摆拍的表情照片，而非现实中自然流露的面部表情，这是研究设计中批评者可能强调的关键缺陷。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.(东亚人比欧洲人更难分辨面部表情，《当代生物学》在线发表的一份新报告解释了原因)”以及全文围绕东西方人识别面部表情的文化差异展开分析可知，本文核心是讲述解读情绪时的文化差异。A选项“Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions(解读情感的文化差异)”最适合作为标题。故选A。 （本题12.5分）At its most basic level, laughter affects our physical body. It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. 36(2.5分) This leads to several benefits. Increases heart health As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. 37(2.5分) One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps strengthen the benefits of humour on heart health. Reduces physical pain Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort. 38(2.5分) Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers. 39(2.5分) Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression. Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh. Boosts immunity Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. 40(2.5分) Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes. A．Improves sleep. B．Improves social communication. C．Laughter helps reduce daily stress. D．This is much like how our body responds to exercise. E．These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness. F．But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception. G．Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles. 【答案】36．G 37．D 38．F 39．A 40．E 【导语】文章介绍了大笑对人体产生的多种生理益处，分别从保护心脏、缓解身体疼痛、改善睡眠、增强免疫力四个方面展开说明。 【详解】36．由上文“It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs.(大笑能让我们吸入更多富氧空气，刺激肺部运作。)”以及下文“This leads to several benefits.(这会带来多种益处。)”可知，空处应继续补充大笑给身体带来的生理变化，G选项“Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles.(放声大笑还能缓解肌肉紧张。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“also”与上文形成并列呼应，下文This指代选项中的“relieve tension in our muscles”。 37．由上文“Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure.(大笑通过提升心率、降低血压来养护心脏。)”以及下文“One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily.(一项研究发现，几乎从不笑的人患心脏病的概率是每天大笑人群的1.21倍。)”可知，空处解释大笑护心的原理，D选项“This is much like how our body responds to exercise.(这和我们身体运动时的反应十分相似。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This”指代上文“increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure”，“our body”与下文“heart disease”形成呼应。 38．由上文“As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort.(当我们观看节目开怀大笑时，头痛等不适感会暂时得到缓解。)”以及下文“Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain.(人体内部会启动稳定机制，提升我们的抗痛能力。)”可知，单纯转移注意力并不是止痛的真正原因，F选项“But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception.(但仅仅是转移注意力并不能减轻痛感。)”形成语义转折，引出下文体内止痛机制，符合题意，该选项中的“distraction”与上文“distracted”相呼应，“alone isn’t”与下文“enhance our ability”相呼应。 39．由下文“Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better.(大笑还有另一项生理益处——改善睡眠。)”可知，本段核心为大笑改善睡眠，A选项“Improves sleep.(改善睡眠。)”作本段小标题，能总领整段内容，符合题意，该选项中的“sleep”与下文“sleep better”原词呼应。 40．由上文“By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body.(大笑能增加体内产生抗体的细胞，并提升T细胞活性。)”以及下文“Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes.(内科医生与心理健康专业人士可以借助大笑疗法，帮助患者收获良好的健康恢复效果。)”可知，空格处说明这些细胞的防病作用，E选项“These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness.(这些微小细胞如同防御军队，抵御疾病。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“These tiny things”指代上文“antibody-producing cells”、“T cells”，“fight illness”与下文“help patients”语义呼应。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Last summer, I had the opportunity to attend an international summer camp. It was exciting, yet I soon encountered an unexpected challenge. My roommate, Ahmed from Egypt, was friendly, but I found his habit of standing 41 close, when talking to me, hard to accept. I instinctively stepped back, which seemed to 42 him. The atmosphere grew tense, and I began to 43 my own behavior. Later, in a culture-sharing session, I learned that in many Arab countries, standing close 44 trust and warmth, while in my culture, more personal space is preferred.

Among them, the fist and palm salute (拱手礼) was quite a classic one. Today, though Chinese people usually shake hands when 56(1.5分) (meet) friends and relatives, they still perform the fist and palm salute when they are paying a visit to someone during the traditional Chinese New Year or attending wedding receptions, birthday 57(1.5分) (ceremony) or funerals. The fist and palm salute is one of the typical Chinese etiquettes 58(1.5分) a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the West Zhou Dynasty, people had already used this etiquette when meeting peers. Holding hands together 59(1.5分) (point) to themselves was a gesture of saying “I am not with any weapons 60(1.5分) I am not here to pick a fight.” Later, it became the etiquette for people to show respect and gratitude when meeting. Around 100 years ago, the handshake etiquette 61(1.5分) (introduce) to China. The holding fist salute is called Baoquan li in Chinese. The gesture of holding fist etiquette is that the right hand is made into 62(1.5分) fist, the left hand is to hold or cover the right fist. Make sure the left thumb is close to the index finger and does not point to yourself, as it indicates arrogance (傲慢). The holding fist salute shows the humility.

But he was worried. Big Dog was his favourite stuffed animal. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed—the shelf that was now charred (烧焦的) by the house fire. “I’m not sure what they were able to save,” Mom said. “They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I sure will miss those pictures.” Jet could tell she was really sad. “I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Then we’ll see if your Big Dog can come back to us.” Mom said before she hugged him good-bye and drove off. Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He clutched (紧抓) his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, his friends were playing games while his mind was completely occupied by Big Dog. RRRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class. Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished. Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. If only the photo album could somehow be saved, Jet thought. He wished there was a way to get those memories back, to bring a smile to his mom’s face again. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too! ”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw. He started with a picture of himself opening presents in front of a Christmas tree. Then one of him and his mom camping. Then there was one of Grandpa, standing tall and smiling, holding out a stuffed toy—Big Dog. The lines of Big Dog came easily, as if Jet had memorized every detail. By the time class was over, Jet had a small album stretched out and was ready to surprise his mom. When Jet’s mom picked him up from school, however, Jet’s eyes were caught by Big Dog in the back seat. He squeezed Big Dog around the neck and hugged it tightly, feeling the familiar softness against his cheek. But then, something inside him shifted. He remembered the album in his backpack.Paragraph 2: Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too!” Digging into his backpack, Jet pulled out the small album. “I know we lost a lot of things in the fire, and the photo albums were really special to you.” he said in a soft voice. As Jet’s mom flipped through the pictures, she laughed and cried. There she saw the drawings of their favorite memories. Each picture captured a moment they had shared, a moment they thought they’d lost in the fire. That night, after they unpacked more of the boxes, Jet carefully placed Big Dog back on the shelf above his bed. Maybe the fire had taken some things, but it hadn’t taken what mattered most—their love, their memories, and the chance to keep making new ones. 【导语】本文以事件的发展线索展开，讲述了妈妈送Jet上学的路上，告知他被烧毁的毛绒玩具“大狗”已经清理干净了，Jet很是担心，一路上和妈妈说着这件事情，妈妈告诉他放学回来接他的时候就可以拿到“大狗”了，到了学校Jet一直想着“大狗”，在美术课上，老师让大家画出自己想画的内容，Jet想到了妈妈看着被烧毁的照片的悲伤，觉得“大狗”能回来，而照片再也回不来了，所以决定要给妈妈画出被毁掉的照片。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，突然间，他知道他能画什么了。”可知，第一段可描写Jet绘画的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jet给了妈妈一个大大的拥抱，说：“我也有一个惊喜给你！””可知，第二段可描写Jet将自己的画递给妈妈时，妈妈的反应。 2.续写线索：绘画——放学后看到“大狗”把画送给妈妈——妈妈感动——回想美好的回忆——珍惜他们可以重现的时刻 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③放置：place/put 情绪类 ① 使吃惊：surprise/amaze/astonish ② 笑：laugh/laughter 【点睛】[高分句型1].
