(本题10分)When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesn’t end there — the longtime high school teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more.
When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees.
Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to become socialized.
The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions. Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. Often students attend the graduations and help pass the dogs on.
“I love seeing the look on kids’ faces ... when they get to see that dog again after three or four months and the dog remembers them,” Hearn said. “It’s a great feeling.”
24.(2.5分)What has Hearn done since she was a child?
A.She has collected money for the blind.
B.She has trained dogs to help the blind.
C.She has petted and cared for many homeless dogs.
D.She has provided the blind with education for free.
25.(2.5分)What was the attitude of Hearn’s dad towards her plan?
A.Mad. B.Uncaring. C.Unacceptable. D.Supportive.
26.(2.5分)If a dog fails to help the blind after graduation, it will _____.
A.continue to be trained
B.be taken away as a pet
C.live full-time with Hearn’s students
D.become another kind of service animal
27.(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Hearn?
A.Honest and hard-working.
B.Strong-minded and caring.
C.Outgoing and careful.
D.Strict and creative.
(本题10分)We all know that a powerful body posture may help people feel more confident. But will it work on students? A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school.
Some body postures don’t need further explanation. When a man sits with his arms crossed behind his head, resting his feet on a table, he is probably feeling very self-confident. Arms folded in front of one’s body and a bent back, on the other hand, typically mean anxiety and insecurity. “Body language is not just about expressing feelings, it can also have a great influence on how a person feels,” explains Robert Körner from the Institute of Psychology at MLU.
Research on powerful body postures tries to find out the extent to which a certain body posture might influence a person’s feelings and self-confidence. Up to now, most of the research has been about studying the effects on adults. Körner’s study is the first to examine children. “Children from the age of five are able to recognize and understand the body postures of others,” the professor adds.
The researchers carried out their experiment with 108 fourth graders. One group was to assume two open postures for one minute each. The other group posed with their arms folded in front of them and their heads down. The children then finished a series of psychological tests. The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school. “Here, powerful body postures had the strongest effect on the children’s self-confidence,” says Körner.
“Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals.
28.(2.5分)How does Körner feel about the short-term effects of powerful postures?
A.He thinks they are useless.
B.He believes they are significant enough for teachers to adopt in class.
C.He argues they are too strong and harmful.
D.He claims they last for years.
29.(2.5分)What is the new research on powerful body postures mainly about?
A.What the most popular postures are.
B.How children’s postures differ from adults’.
C.Why body language can express a person’s feelings.
D.What effects postures have on students’ feelings.
30.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “manifest” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Strange. B.Obvious.
C.Unclear. D.Manageable.
31.(2.5分)What is Körner’s attitude to teachers’ applying the findings in teaching?
A.Worried. B.Doubtful.
C.Objective. D.Supportive.
(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)Communication begins long before you open your mouth. The way you stand, the position of your arms, and your facial expressions all tell a story that can be read immediately. By adopting the following habits, you can project confidence, openness, and charm with your nonverbal cues.
36(2.5分)
When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.” 37(2.5分) Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness.
Find the eye contact “sweet spot”.
38(2.5分) However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”. Unbroken staring can cause a fight-or-flight response in others. To avoid this, try the 50/70 rule: maintain eye contact for 50% of the time while you are speaking and maintain eye contact for 70% of the time while you are listening.
Adopt an open posture.
When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs. 39(2.5分) To appear more approachable, keep your chest open. Let your arms hang relaxed at your sides and angle your body toward the person you are speaking with.
Subtly (巧妙地) mirror their movements.
Have you ever noticed that when you are really clicking with someone, you naturally start doing the same things they are? This is called mirroring, and it creates an unconscious sense of familiarity and trust. You can intentionally use this by reflecting your conversation partner’s posture or gestures. The warning: The key word is subtle. 40(2.5分)
A.Lean in to listen.
B.Be an active observer with a deep lean in.
C.This closes the physical distance and builds connection.
D.You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move.
E.Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement.
F.Mirroring can make the interaction more genuine when done frequently.
G.While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off.
三、完形填空
(本题15分)While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at college for the better: I discovered ASL— American Sign Language.
I never felt an urge to learn any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The 43 languages were enough in all my interactions. Little did I know that I would discover my 44 for ASL.

六、书面表达

When I was in Grade One, most of my classmates didn’t like to play with me because I was always shy and silent. However, I always got high grades in both exams and activities. Gradually, I got the respect of my classmates. And my teachers repeatedly praised me and asked me to assist my classmates in their study. Besides, there were various competitions in my school and I was always chosen as the representative of our class.
However, life is not always happy. There are times when we experience ups and downs. When I was in Grade Three, a student named Vannilyn came to our school, and she was placed in the class next to mine. Months passed and the result of the mid-term examination was released. I was still the No. 1 in my class and I heard that Vannilyn was the No. 1 in her class. However, I just ignored her and in my thought, I was still superior because I was a seasoned pupil.
There were times when I didn’t want to open my books to read and study for our next day’s lesson. When I did my homework, I became careless and I didn’t even mind whether my handwriting looked beautiful or not. What’s worse, I gradually became addicted to computer games. And because of that, my teachers began to criticise me and what made me angry was that they always mentioned Vannilyn in front of me!
I got annoyed every time my teachers compared me with Vannilyn. I was discouraged and no longer followed their instructions. At the end of the first term, the principal’s assistant announced the final examination result, and I still ranked No. 1. Therefore, I became prouder and told myself that I would still be the best student even if I didn’t study hard.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced.

W: Oh, I didn’t notice that.
M: Using gestures to express what you’re thinking is commonplace in some countries, but a gesture can mean different things in different countries. For instance, shaking your head mostly means “no”, but in other countries it can mean the opposite. So the question is: In which country does shaking your head mean “yes”? Greece, Japan or Bulgaria?
W: Umm … No idea. Maybe Bulgaria? But I do know Indians shake their heads to mean lots of things. That goes completely over my head.
M: You’ve hit it this time. We need to be careful to avoid offense when greeting people from other cultures with gestures. Now we’ll invite Erin Meyer to talk about misunderstandings and confusions in multicultural conversations and analyze the reasons.

【答案】18.C 19.B 20.A
【原文】 Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The news reporter tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen. The actors don’t use their fingers to spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means “sandwich”. They can make a roof with their hands over their heads when they want to show “house”. Pointing to an actor’s mouth can mean “Quiet”. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.

(本题10分)When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesn’t end there — the longtime high school teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more.
When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees.
Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to become socialized.
The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions. Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. Often students attend the graduations and help pass the dogs on.
“I love seeing the look on kids’ faces ... when they get to see that dog again after three or four months and the dog remembers them,” Hearn said. “It’s a great feeling.”
24.(2.5分)What has Hearn done since she was a child?
A.She has collected money for the blind.
B.She has trained dogs to help the blind.
C.She has petted and cared for many homeless dogs.
D.She has provided the blind with education for free.
25.(2.5分)What was the attitude of Hearn’s dad towards her plan?
A.Mad. B.Uncaring. C.Unacceptable. D.Supportive.
26.(2.5分)If a dog fails to help the blind after graduation, it will _____.
A.continue to be trained
B.be taken away as a pet
C.live full-time with Hearn’s students
D.become another kind of service animal
27.(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Hearn?
A.Honest and hard-working.
B.Strong-minded and caring.
C.Outgoing and careful.
D.Strict and creative.
【答案】24.B 25.C 26.D 27.B

(本题10分)We all know that a powerful body posture may help people feel more confident. But will it work on students? A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school.
Some body postures don’t need further explanation. When a man sits with his arms crossed behind his head, resting his feet on a table, he is probably feeling very self-confident. Arms folded in front of one’s body and a bent back, on the other hand, typically mean anxiety and insecurity. “Body language is not just about expressing feelings, it can also have a great influence on how a person feels,” explains Robert Körner from the Institute of Psychology at MLU.
Research on powerful body postures tries to find out the extent to which a certain body posture might influence a person’s feelings and self-confidence. Up to now, most of the research has been about studying the effects on adults. Körner’s study is the first to examine children. “Children from the age of five are able to recognize and understand the body postures of others,” the professor adds.
The researchers carried out their experiment with 108 fourth graders. One group was to assume two open postures for one minute each. The other group posed with their arms folded in front of them and their heads down. The children then finished a series of psychological tests. The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school. “Here, powerful body postures had the strongest effect on the children’s self-confidence,” says Körner.
“Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals.
28.(2.5分)How does Körner feel about the short-term effects of powerful postures?
A.He thinks they are useless.
B.He believes they are significant enough for teachers to adopt in class.
C.He argues they are too strong and harmful.
D.He claims they last for years.
29.(2.5分)What is the new research on powerful body postures mainly about?
A.What the most popular postures are.
B.How children’s postures differ from adults’.
C.Why body language can express a person’s feelings.
D.What effects postures have on students’ feelings.
30.(2.5分)What does the underlined word “manifest” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Strange. B.Obvious.
C.Unclear. D.Manageable.
31.(2.5分)What is Körner’s attitude to teachers’ applying the findings in teaching?
A.Worried. B.Doubtful.
C.Objective. D.Supportive.
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.B 31.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍马丁・路德大学的研究表明有力的身体姿势对学生情绪和自信有短期积极影响,及相关实验与应用建议。
28.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term.(“教师们可以尝试看看这种方法是否对学生有帮助。”然而,科尔纳表示,对这种技术的期望应该适度。其效果只是短期的) ”可知,科尔纳认为有力姿势的短期效果值得教师在课堂上尝试,同时提醒期望需适度。故选B项。
29.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But will it work on students? A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school.(但这对学生有用吗?哈勒 - 维滕贝格马丁・路德大学的研究人员开展了一项新研究,旨在寻找这种联系。研究确实提供了证据,表明简单的身体姿势能帮助学生在学校感觉更好)”可知,这项新研究主要关注姿势对学生情绪的影响。故选D项。
30.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school.(采取开放姿势的孩子比另一组孩子表现出更好的情绪和更高的自信心。在涉及学校的问题上,这种效果尤为manifest)”可知,前文已说明开放姿势的积极效果,后文强调在学校相关问题上效果更突出,因此manifest意为“明显的”,与obvious同义。故选B项。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals.(“教师们可以尝试看看这种方法是否对学生有帮助。”然而,科尔纳表示,对这种技术的期望应该适度。其效果只是短期的。严重的问题或精神疾病必须由训练有素的专业人员治疗)”可知,科尔纳既建议教师尝试,又客观指出效果的局限性和适用范围,态度是客观的。故选C项。
(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)Communication begins long before you open your mouth. The way you stand, the position of your arms, and your facial expressions all tell a story that can be read immediately. By adopting the following habits, you can project confidence, openness, and charm with your nonverbal cues.
36(2.5分)
When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.” 37(2.5分) Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness.
Find the eye contact “sweet spot”.
38(2.5分) However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”. Unbroken staring can cause a fight-or-flight response in others. To avoid this, try the 50/70 rule: maintain eye contact for 50% of the time while you are speaking and maintain eye contact for 70% of the time while you are listening.
Adopt an open posture.
When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs. 39(2.5分) To appear more approachable, keep your chest open. Let your arms hang relaxed at your sides and angle your body toward the person you are speaking with.
Subtly (巧妙地) mirror their movements.
Have you ever noticed that when you are really clicking with someone, you naturally start doing the same things they are? This is called mirroring, and it creates an unconscious sense of familiarity and trust. You can intentionally use this by reflecting your conversation partner’s posture or gestures. The warning: The key word is subtle. 40(2.5分)
A.Lean in to listen.
B.Be an active observer with a deep lean in.
C.This closes the physical distance and builds connection.
D.You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move.
E.Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement.
F.Mirroring can make the interaction more genuine when done frequently.
G.While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off.
【答案】36.A 37.C 38.E 39.G 40.D
【导语】文章介绍了通过非语言信号(如姿势、眼神、动作等)来展现自信、开放和魅力的几种习惯。
【详解】36.根据后文“When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.”(当你真正沉浸在一部电影或游戏中时,你会身体前倾。这同样适用于对话。微微将上半身倾向说话者是一个强烈的非语言信号,表示“我对你说的话感兴趣”。)”可知,本段主要讲述“身体前倾倾听”这一习惯。A选项“Lean in to listen.(前倾身体去倾听。)”适合作本段小标题,概括全段主旨。
37.根据前文“Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.”(微微将上半身倾向说话者是一个强烈的非语言信号,表示“我对你说的话感兴趣”。)”以及后文“Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness.(只是要注意个人空间,因为过度前倾可能会显得不礼貌。)”可知,前文提到前倾的好处,后文提醒注意分寸,此处应补充前倾带来的积极效果。C选项“This closes the physical distance and builds connection.(这缩短了身体距离并建立了联系。)”承接前文,说明前倾的好处,与后文的提醒形成转折,符合语境。
38.根据本段小标题“Find the eye contact “sweet spot”.(找到眼神交流的“最佳平衡点”。)”以及后文“However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”.(然而,“投入”和“不舒服”之间只有一线之隔。)”可知,本段讨论眼神交流。E选项“Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement.(看着别人的眼睛传递出自信和投入。)”承接小标题,说明眼神交流的积极意义,与后文“However”形成转折,指出过度直视的问题,符合语境。
39.根据前文“When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs.(当你交叉双臂或双腿时,你是在物理上保护你的重要器官。)”以及后文“To appear more approachable, keep your chest open.(为了显得更平易近人,保持胸部敞开。)”可知,前文描述交叉手臂的姿势,后文建议打开姿势,此处应说明交叉手臂姿势传递的负面信号。G选项“While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off.(虽然舒服,但这种原始的防御姿势向他人传递出你封闭自我的信号。)”承接前文,解释交叉手臂的隐含意义,与后文的改进建议形成对比,符合语境。
40.根据前文“The warning: The key word is subtle.(警告:关键词是“巧妙”。)”以及本段主题“Subtly mirror their movements.(巧妙地模仿他们的动作。)”可知,此处强调模仿要适度。D选项“You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move.(你要模仿的是他们的能量,而不是复制他们的每一个动作。)”承接前文的警告,具体说明“巧妙”的含义——即模仿整体状态而非机械复制动作,符合语境。
三、完形填空

The 45 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 46 their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very idea of communicating without speaking 47 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the past. This newness just left me 48 more.
After that, feeling the need to explore further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings. I only learned how to 49 the alphabet (字母) that day. Yet instead of being 50 by my slow progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to 51 those meetings and learn all I could.
The following term, I 52 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 53 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 54 , if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 55 way of communication it opens.

Dear Mike,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking about typical Chinese body language. I’m writing to share some common ones to help with your club project.

I believe your project will be a great success with your efforts. If you have more questions, feel free to ask me.
Yours,
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。
When I was in Grade One, most of my classmates didn’t like to play with me because I was always shy and silent. However, I always got high grades in both exams and activities. Gradually, I got the respect of my classmates. And my teachers repeatedly praised me and asked me to assist my classmates in their study. Besides, there were various competitions in my school and I was always chosen as the representative of our class.
However, life is not always happy. There are times when we experience ups and downs. When I was in Grade Three, a student named Vannilyn came to our school, and she was placed in the class next to mine. Months passed and the result of the mid-term examination was released. I was still the No. 1 in my class and I heard that Vannilyn was the No. 1 in her class. However, I just ignored her and in my thought, I was still superior because I was a seasoned pupil.
There were times when I didn’t want to open my books to read and study for our next day’s lesson. When I did my homework, I became careless and I didn’t even mind whether my handwriting looked beautiful or not. What’s worse, I gradually became addicted to computer games. And because of that, my teachers began to criticise me and what made me angry was that they always mentioned Vannilyn in front of me!
I got annoyed every time my teachers compared me with Vannilyn. I was discouraged and no longer followed their instructions. At the end of the first term, the principal’s assistant announced the final examination result, and I still ranked No. 1. Therefore, I became prouder and told myself that I would still be the best student even if I didn’t study hard.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study. Believing that I would always be the best in studies, whether I studied hard or not, I continued to play computer games and did what I thought was fun and interesting. At the beginning of the second term, our school organised an English Spelling Competition, in which there were six participants, including Vannilyn and me. When looking at Vannilyn in the competition room, I suddenly felt not so confident of myself. Three minutes later, the competition started.
Paragraph 2:
Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced. I was shocked to know that I only took the third place, with Vannilyn being the first. I sat on my chair, tears rolling down my face. After calming down, I began to reflect on what I had been doing those days. How I regretted the days that had been wasted playing games but should have been spent on my studies. I know better the saying “Pride goes before a fall” through my own experience.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了我学习很好,在班级很受人欢迎。但三年级时,隔壁班新来的同学Vannilyn的学习成绩和我不相上下,这让我很苦恼。于是,学习状态受到影响,我开始沉迷电脑游戏,因而受到老师批评,老师还总将我和Vannilyn进行比较。但是我期末考试成绩还是第一名,因此我骄傲地认为自己不努力学习也可以取得好成绩。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我过于自信,不太注重学习”可知,第一段可描写作者过于自信以及不注重学习的表现。
②由第二段首句内容“三天后,英语拼写比赛的成绩宣布了”可知,第二段可描写作者知道拼写比赛成绩不好之后的表现,以及感悟。
2.续写线索:过于自信——放松学习——参加比赛——公布结果——成绩不好——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类:
学习好:be the best in studies/get best grades in class
组织比赛:organize a competition/hold a competition
流眼泪:tears running down my face/my eyes watering
情绪类:
震惊:be shocked/be surprised/be amazed
冷静:calm down/pull oneself together
【点睛】【高分句型1】Believing that I would always be the best in studies, whether I studied hard or not, I continued to play computer games and did what I thought was fun and interesting.(运用了非谓语动词做状语,whether引导的让步状语从句,以及that和what引导的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】I was shocked to know that I only took the third place, with Vannilyn being the first.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和with的复合结构)
