【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse(噘嘴) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.
(1)When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that ________.
A.he is angry
B.he is outgoing
C.he is cool
D.he is not afraid
(2)If you want to appear confident, you should ________.
A.cross your arms
B.move your head a little
C.keep your head level
D.move your arms a lot
(3)Which of the following movements shows someone is nervous?
A.Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.
B.Moving around a lot more than normal.
C.Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
D.Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.
(4)What can we infer from the passage?
A.Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.
B.It's not polite to use body language in formal communication.
C.Different people in different countries must have the same understanding of the same body movement.
D.We cannot communicate with others without words.
【答案】
(1)D
(2)C
(3)B
(4)A

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem.
My mother read the little poem and began to cry. “Buddy, you didn't really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!” Shyly, I said that I had. My mother poured out her welcome praise. Why, this poem was nothing short of genius!
What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him what I had accomplished. My mother said she hoped he would be home around 7. I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for his arrival. First, I wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting. Then I used colored pens to draw a border around it. Then I confidently placed it right on my father's plate on the dining table. But my father did not return at 7, Seven-fifteen, Seven-thirty. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate my poem even more than my mother.
It was almost 8 o'clock when my father burst in. He was an hour late, but he could not sit down. I can see him now, a big Havana cigar in one hand, the rapidly disappearing drink in the other, calling down bitter words on his employees.
Suddenly, he paused and glared at his plate. There was a silence. He was reaching for my poem. I lowered my head and stared down into my plate.
“What is this?” I heard him say.
“Ben, a wonderful thing has happened,” my mother said. “Buddy has written his first poem. And it's beautiful, absolutely amazing”.
“If you don't mind, I'd like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. I remember wondering why it was taking so long. I could hear him dropping the poem back on the table again. Now was the moment of decision.
“I think it's bad,” my father said.
I couldn't look up. My eyes were getting wet.
“Ben, sometimes I don't understand you,” my mother was saying. “This is just a little boy. You're not in your studio now. These are the first lines of poetry he's ever written. He need encouragement.”
“I don't know why,” my father held his ground. “Isn't there enough bad poetry in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.”
I couldn't stand it another second. I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.
That may have been the end of the anecdote(轶事) — but not of its significance for me.
A few years later I took a second look at that first poem, and unwillingly I had to agree with my father's tough judgment. It was a pretty bad poem. After a while, I worked up the courage to show him something new, a short story. My father thought it was overwritten but not hopeless. I was learning to rewrite. And my mother was learning that she could disapprove of me without ruining me. You might say we were all learning. I was going on 12.
As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been to have had a mother who said, “Buddy, it's wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with his, “I think it's bad.” In fact all of us in life need that mother force, the loving force from which all creation flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete, even misleading, finally damaging, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.” Between the two poles of affirmation (肯定) and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course.
(1)What did the mother think of the Buddy's poem?
A.She was so moved that she cried.
B.She believed Buddy needed advice from his father.
C.She considered Buddy had no talent for poetry.
D.She thought the poem was well written.
(2)Which underlined word in the following sentences best reflects Buddy's eagerness to show his father the poem?
A.Then I confidently placed it right on my father's place on the dining table.
B.He would be able to appreciate my poem even more than my mother.
C.I wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting.
D.I could hardly wait to show him what I had accomplished.
(3)The underlined sentence “My father held his ground” could best be replaced by ________.
A.My father began to explain his reasons
B.My father thought his comment is unreasonable
C.My father refused to change his opinion
D.My father got so angry that he rose to his feet
(4)From the passage, we can infer that the father can be best described as ________.
A.cruel and stubborn
B.loving and matter-of-fact
C.bad-tempered and rude
D.cautious and strict
(5)Which of the following statements do you think the author might agree with?
A.The incident helped the writer work his work further as a writer.
B.The author only realized the significance of the incident after becoming a writer.
C.After the incident, the author stopped writing but tried his luck in plays and films.
D.The incident completely changed the author's course of life.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm one of your customer, I ordered a set of books on your website two weeks ago, but I didn't received it until yesterday.

I'm sorry to have received such poorly service, and I believe I have every right ask you to deal with this problem. I hope you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Beside, I'd like to be informed of the process of your deal with my complaint.
I'm looking forward to your reply.

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于两个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
“Can I have a glass of hot water?” This is a very common question for Chinese customers in a restaurant. But you go abroad, you may find that meals in the West tend to come with tall glasses of ice water.
For most Chinese people, (drink) hot water is part of everyday life. It is believed that water of a warm temperature (25-30 C) is good for people's health, (especial) for the stomach.
But for many Western people, they drink cold water even in winter. One possible reason is in Western countries people can drink water directly from the tap, rather than having to boil . And it's also normal to jump into a cold shower after exercise, (bring) the heart rate down.
However, there is one common thing (encourage) in both the East and the West: One cool down by drinking a hot drink in summer. Because sweating is a good way to cool off in summer, hot drinks make you hotter and you begin to sweat.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you drink hot cold water. The more comfortable your body feels, the (good) it is.

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sometimes your friends start to talk about a new video game or a new app they have downloaded. It sounds pretty cool, and your friends really seem to like it. You become so (interest) in it that you want to buy it too. Has this ever happened to you?
In the US and in places around the world, there is a similar feeling of wanting the (new), greatest tech gadgets (小玩意). There is a big (attract) to getting the latest technology even though people may not need it. But why is this?
As to(关于) these technologies, there's initial (最初的) excitement that (get) people's attention, according to Richard Larson, a director at MIT, US. If there's a big group of people want these things, you want to be a part of the excitement too.
One of the major US (company) that really take advantage of this is Apple. It comes out with a new iPhone with very small changes every year. But people still flock (涌入) to the stores even if they have just bought the previous phone.
However, (buy)these things may not always be the best choice. You could be buying things that you don't really need and (spend) too much money just for the right to show it off to your friends.
Not only that, but our need to always be on your phones or playing video games takes a lot of time in our lives. So is this excitement over technology a good or a bad thing?
