Are some facial expressions universal across cultures? Imagine walking into a hotel lobby (大厅) in a foreign country. You’re tired from a long journey, but you don’t have a room 1 (book). The hotel looks busy, but you’re hopeful there’s a room available. Before approaching the clerk at the desk, you stop to study her face, 2 (assess) her level of friendliness. She looks pleasant, so you decide to approach, but first you take care to put on a smile, hoping 3 (perceive) as friendly.
Reading facial expressions 4 (be) a common means of interpreting what people are thinking or feeling, particularly across a language barrier. While the basic 5 (interpret) of an expression may hold true across cultures, learned behavior 6 (pattern) do affect the way people interpret facial expressions differently. For example, a smile is 7 (universal) interpreted as an indicator of happiness, and friendliness. But the way it is used among cultures can carry different meanings. Some cultures perceive that Americans use their smiles too much, raising questions of insincerity. And in some Asian cultures, a smile can be used to overcome an uncomfortable or anxiety-causing situation, 8 , to other cultures, may seem inappropriate.
Communicating across a language barrier can be difficult, but remembering that our drawing conclusions according 9 facial expressions can help. So next time you are tired in a foreign hotel lobby, think about your facial expression: a relaxed face and gentle smile may get you 10 good night’s sleep.
【答案】
1.booked 2.assessing 3.to be perceived 4.is 5.interpretation 6.patterns 7.universally 8.which 9.to 10.a
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以酒店场景引入指出表情解读是跨语言交流方式,也提及文化差异影响解读,建议关注表情助交流。
1.考查非谓语动词。句意:你经过长途旅行后很累,但你还没有预订房间。此处a room(房间)与 book(预订)之间是被动关系,即房间被预订,所以应用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填booked。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:在走向前台工作人员之前,你停下来观察她的脸,评估她的友好程度。句子的谓语动词是 stop,assess(评估)与逻辑主语you之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填assessing。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意:她看起来很和蔼,所以你决定走过去,但首先你特意露出微笑,希望被认为是友好的。hope to do sth “希望做某事”;此处you与perceive之间是被动关系,所以应用不定式的被动式to be perceived。故填to be perceived。
4.考查主谓一致。句意:阅读面部表情是解读人们想法或感受的一种常用手段,尤其是在跨越语言障碍的情况下。句子的主语是Reading facial expressions(解读面部表情),动名词短语作主语时,谓语动词应用单数形式;文章整体时态为一般现在时,所以此处be动词用is。故填is。
5.考查名词。句意:虽然对表情的基本解释可能在不同文化中都适用,但习得的行为模式确实会影响人们对面部表情的不同理解。空处作主语,basic(基本的)是形容词,形容词后应接名词,interpret(解读,理解)的名词形式是interpretation。故填interpretation。
6.考查名词的复数形式。句意:虽然对表情的基本解释可能在不同文化中都适用,但习得的行为模式确实会影响人们对面部表情的不同理解。pattern(模式,方式)是可数名词,根据谓语动词do可知,主语应为复数形式,所以pattern应用复数patterns。故填patterns。
7.考查副词。句意:例如,微笑被普遍认为是幸福和友好的象征。此处需要一个副词来修饰动词interpreted,universal(普遍的)的副词形式是universally“普遍地”。故填universally。
8.考查定语从句。句意:在一些亚洲文化中,微笑可以用来克服不舒服或引起焦虑的情况,而在其他文化中,这可能是不合适的。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子a smile can be used to overcome an uncomfortable or anxiety-causing situation,且关系词在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
9.考查固定短语。句意:跨越语言障碍的交流可能很困难,但记住我们根据面部表情得出结论是有帮助的。according to是固定短语,意为“根据,按照”,符合此处“根据面部表情得出结论”的语境。故填to。
10.考查不定冠词。句意:所以,下次当你在一家外国酒店的大堂感到疲倦时,想想你的面部表情:一个放松的脸和温柔的微笑可能会让你睡个好觉。a good night’s sleep是固定表达,意为“一夜好眠”,此处表示泛指“一个”,且good是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
五、阅读理解
(25-26高二下·广西桂林·期末)When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome (合成基因组), it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life. For the first time, DNA had been written on a computer and used to control a living cell. The achievement suggested something deep: Life might not only be understood but designed.
This achievement laid the foundation for synthetic biology. By combining biology and engineering, synthetic biology seeks to design and build new biological systems or redesign existing ones for useful purposes. Rather than only observing how life works, scientists use tools such as DNA synthesis and genetic (基因的) engineering to “program” cells to perform specific tasks. This field has led to promising and practical outcomes. Researchers have engineered microbes to produce lifesaving drugs such as qinghaosu, develop sustainable biofuels, and detect environmental poisons, as well as break down environmental wastes.
Despite this progress, synthetic biology has not fully realized its early goals. One major reason is the complexity of living systems. Early approaches to synthetic biology treated cells as computer systems, where components could be predictably exchanged. In practice, the parts of biological systems depend closely on each other. Gene (基因) interactions are difficult to predict, and results observed in controlled laboratory conditions do not always work to real-world environments.
As technology advances, new moral and security concerns have emerged in synthetic biology. The same tools used to design beneficial organisms could potentially be misused to create harmful ones or unintentionally damage ecosystems. As these tools become more accessible, technology changes faster than people can make rules for it.
Although synthetic biology has not yet delivered a world of fully programmable organisms, its impact is clear. It has changed how scientists study life and how society imagines its future. This suggests that science is learning, carefully and not perfectly, to create life.
1.What can be learned about Venter’s 2010 research?
A.Life has been controlled in labs.
B.Humans can interpret life and reshape it.
C.Scientists have uncovered most secrets of life.
D.DNA can be completely designed by computers.
2.What benefits does synthetic biology bring?
A.All digitally-driven cells. B.Special tools in life observation.
C.Waste removal machines. D.Products in medicine and energy.
3.Why have synthetic biology’s early goals not been totally realized?
A.For the need of more scientists. B.For the poor laboratory conditions.
C.For the complex living systems. D.For the outdated computer systems.
4.What potential risk comes along with synthetic biology?
A.Application in wrong ways. B.Challenge to classic biology.

【导语】文章介绍了2010年Venter团队合成基因组细胞的突破性实验,阐释合成生物学的定义与现实应用价值,接着分析该领域未能完全达成早期目标的核心原因,然后指出技术发展伴随的道德与安全隐患。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“The achievement suggested something deep: Life might not only be understood but designed.(这项成就揭示了一个深刻道理:生命或许不仅可以被理解,还能够被设计)”可知,人类能够解读生命并且重塑生命。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers have engineered microbes to produce lifesaving drugs such as qinghaosu, develop sustainable biofuels, and detect environmental poisons, as well as break down environmental wastes.(研究人员改造微生物来生产青蒿素这类救命药物、研发可持续生物燃料、检测环境毒物以及降解环境废弃物)”可知,合成生物学有益于药物、生物能源。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段“Despite this progress, synthetic biology has not fully realized its early goals. One major reason is the complexity of living systems.(尽管取得这些进步,合成生物学尚未完全实现早期目标。一个主要原因是生命系统的复杂性)”可知,生命系统十分复杂,因此合成生物学的早期目标没有完全实现。
4.细节理解题。根据第四段“The same tools used to design beneficial organisms could potentially be misused to create harmful ones or unintentionally damage ecosystems.(用来设计有益有机体的同类工具,存在被滥用制造有害生物、或是无意破坏生态系统的可能性)”可知,合成生物学存在被错误应用的潜在风险。
(25-26高二上·湖北黄石·期末)Popular views about body language often stress its use for catching lies or spotting hidden negative actions. This approach promotes the idea that specific gestures act as universal “tells” — such as faster blinking indicating a potential lie.
However, research challenges this view. A 2023 study of TV quiz show contestants demonstrates the danger in treating physical responses as reliable indicators of a specific intention. While people do blink faster under stress, this simply signals a stress response, not a declaration of intention to lie. Stress is multi-determined: it could arise from trying to recall the truth, construct a lie, or simply find the right answer. Furthermore, blinking also slows during intense concentration and speeds up when processing questions. In brief, it is a response to what is happening, not a clear marker of truthfulness.
This example illustrates a fundamental principle: individual body language cues (暗示)are multi-determined. Crossing one’s arms might signal defensiveness, but it could equally mean a person is cold, tired, or simply comfortable.
Therefore, seeking definite “tells” is misguided. Instead, body language is more reliably used to answer broader relational questions: Is this person open or resistant? A friend or an enemy? These assessments of general attitude are where nonverbal communication proves valuable.
Reliability increases significantly in familiar contexts. We are reasonably good at reading the signals of people we know well — like family or long-time colleagues — especially when they experience strong emotions. That’s because you know how that person normally acts, and thus spotting a variation from the norm is relatively easy and reliable.
Ultimately, becoming a skilled interpreter requires moving beyond “tells.” One must pay attention to both what people say and how they say it, integrating verbal and nonverbal cues over time. It’s simply good listening.
1.What does the research show about blinking faster?
A.It always indicates a person is lying.
B.It shows a person is thinking hard.
C.It is a sign of stress, but not necessarily lying.
D.It means a person is trying to defend himself.
2.What is the author’s purpose in discussing the example of crossing arms?
A.To prove that specific gestures are reliable.
B.To show multiple meanings of a single gesture.
C.To demonstrate the importance of body language.
D.To argue that body language is undoubtedly truthful.
3.In what situation would body language be most reliably interpreted according to the text?
A.A traveler guessing if a foreign shop owner is honest.
B.A policeman judging a suspect in the first-time enquiry.
C.A teacher noticing his student’s red eyes from weeping.
D.A manager interpreting crossed arms from an interviewee.
4.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.When we can rely on body language.
B.What hides behind specific gestures.
C.Why body language can tell the truth.
D.How to read body language reliably.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讨论了肢体语言的解读方式,反驳了“特定手势是通用信号”的观点,指出单一肢体语言有多种含义,同时说明如何可靠地解读肢体语言。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While people do blink faster under stress, this simply signals a stress response, not a declaration of intention to lie. Stress is multi-determined: it could arise from trying to recall the truth, construct a lie, or simply find the right answer.(虽然人们在压力下确实会眨眼更快,但这仅仅是一种压力反应的信号,而不是撒谎意图的表明。压力的产生有多种原因:可能是试图回忆真相、编造谎言,或者只是想找到正确答案)”可知,研究表明,眨眼更快是压力的信号,但不一定是在撒谎。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This example illustrates a fundamental principle: individual body language cues (暗示)are multi-determined. Crossing one’s arms might signal defensiveness, but it could equally mean a person is cold, tired, or simply comfortable.(这个例子说明了一个基本原则:单一的肢体语言暗示有多种决定因素。交叉手臂可能表示防御,但也可能意味着一个人很冷、很累,或者只是觉得舒服)”可知,作者讨论交叉手臂的例子,目的是说明单一手势有多种含义。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Reliability increases significantly in familiar contexts. We are reasonably good at reading the signals of people we know well — like family or long-time colleagues — especially when they experience strong emotions. That’s because you know how that person normally acts, and thus spotting a variation from the norm is relatively easy and reliable.(在熟悉的环境中,解读的可靠性会显著提高。我们很擅长解读我们熟悉的人的信号——比如家人或长期共事的同事——尤其是当他们经历强烈情绪时。这是因为你知道那个人平时的行为方式,因此发现与常态的偏差相对容易且可靠)”可知,在熟悉的人经历强烈情绪时,肢体语言的解读最可靠。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段指出大众对肢体语言的普遍观点(特定手势是通用信号),第二段用研究反驳该观点,指出单一肢体语言有多种含义,第三段进一步论证该原则,第四、五、六段说明如何可靠地解读肢体语言(关注整体态度、熟悉语境、结合语言和非语言线索)。结合最后一段中的“Ultimately, becoming a skilled interpreter requires moving beyond “tells.” One must pay attention to both what people say and how they say it, integrating verbal and nonverbal cues over time.(归根结底,要成为一名熟练的解读师,需要超越“信号”。人们必须同时关注人们说什么和怎么说,随着时间的推移整合语言和非语言线索)”可知,本文主要讨论如何可靠地解读肢体语言。故选D项。

A national park is an area set aside by a national government for the preservation of the natural environment. It may be for 1 (purpose) of public recreation and enjoyment or because of its historical or 2 (science) interest. Most of the landscapes and their 3 (accompany) plants and animals in a national park are kept in their natural state.
It is generally thought that 4 concept of a national park originated in the United States in 1870 and that the world’s first such park was Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. 5 (part) inspired by the American example, movements in favour of national parks sprang up in many other countries, beginning with Canada, 6 established its first three national parks in the mid-1880s. Great Britain established the administrative machinery for both national parks and nature reserves in 1949.
China’s efforts 7 (protect) the ecosystem can be traced back to 1956, marked by the 8 (establish) of Dinghu Mountain National Nature Reserve. The first national park in China dates back 9 June 2007, with the formation of Pudacuo National Park in Shangri-La, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunan Province. So far, China 10 (build) nearly 20 types of diverse and functionally varied natural conservation areas at all levels and in all types.

Are some facial expressions universal across cultures? Imagine walking into a hotel lobby (大厅) in a foreign country. You’re tired from a long journey, but you don’t have a room 1 (book). The hotel looks busy, but you’re hopeful there’s a room available. Before approaching the clerk at the desk, you stop to study her face, 2 (assess) her level of friendliness. She looks pleasant, so you decide to approach, but first you take care to put on a smile, hoping 3 (perceive) as friendly.
Reading facial expressions 4 (be) a common means of interpreting what people are thinking or feeling, particularly across a language barrier. While the basic 5 (interpret) of an expression may hold true across cultures, learned behavior 6 (pattern) do affect the way people interpret facial expressions differently. For example, a smile is 7 (universal) interpreted as an indicator of happiness, and friendliness. But the way it is used among cultures can carry different meanings. Some cultures perceive that Americans use their smiles too much, raising questions of insincerity. And in some Asian cultures, a smile can be used to overcome an uncomfortable or anxiety-causing situation, 8 , to other cultures, may seem inappropriate.
Communicating across a language barrier can be difficult, but remembering that our drawing conclusions according 9 facial expressions can help. So next time you are tired in a foreign hotel lobby, think about your facial expression: a relaxed face and gentle smile may get you 10 good night’s sleep.

(25-26高二下·广西桂林·期末)When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome (合成基因组), it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life. For the first time, DNA had been written on a computer and used to control a living cell. The achievement suggested something deep: Life might not only be understood but designed.
This achievement laid the foundation for synthetic biology. By combining biology and engineering, synthetic biology seeks to design and build new biological systems or redesign existing ones for useful purposes. Rather than only observing how life works, scientists use tools such as DNA synthesis and genetic (基因的) engineering to “program” cells to perform specific tasks. This field has led to promising and practical outcomes. Researchers have engineered microbes to produce lifesaving drugs such as qinghaosu, develop sustainable biofuels, and detect environmental poisons, as well as break down environmental wastes.
Despite this progress, synthetic biology has not fully realized its early goals. One major reason is the complexity of living systems. Early approaches to synthetic biology treated cells as computer systems, where components could be predictably exchanged. In practice, the parts of biological systems depend closely on each other. Gene (基因) interactions are difficult to predict, and results observed in controlled laboratory conditions do not always work to real-world environments.
As technology advances, new moral and security concerns have emerged in synthetic biology. The same tools used to design beneficial organisms could potentially be misused to create harmful ones or unintentionally damage ecosystems. As these tools become more accessible, technology changes faster than people can make rules for it.
Although synthetic biology has not yet delivered a world of fully programmable organisms, its impact is clear. It has changed how scientists study life and how society imagines its future. This suggests that science is learning, carefully and not perfectly, to create life.
1.What can be learned about Venter’s 2010 research?
A.Life has been controlled in labs.
B.Humans can interpret life and reshape it.
C.Scientists have uncovered most secrets of life.
D.DNA can be completely designed by computers.
2.What benefits does synthetic biology bring?
A.All digitally-driven cells. B.Special tools in life observation.
C.Waste removal machines. D.Products in medicine and energy.
3.Why have synthetic biology’s early goals not been totally realized?
A.For the need of more scientists. B.For the poor laboratory conditions.
C.For the complex living systems. D.For the outdated computer systems.
4.What potential risk comes along with synthetic biology?
A.Application in wrong ways. B.Challenge to classic biology.
C.Arguments over relevant laws. D.Destruction of existing organisms.
