Smiles make things right again __25__ say much more than words can. If you
make a silly mistake, say something wrong, or feel lonely or sad, a smile can make
things right again. A smile lets other people __26__ that you're prepared to be open to
them, and that you would like to help. Smiles make you feel good. Even if you're
feeling a little sad, put happy thoughts __27__ your mind and just add a smile. The
smile will make you cheerful and reduce your stress.

B. We should stop.
Smiles make other people feel good. An open-mouthed smile shows that you're

__33__ the flag above his head and moves it up and down.
Soldiers in war often cannot hear each other, so they use gestures to send __34__
to each other. When a leader wants other soldiers to follow him, he points towards
them, and then he uses his arm to point in the direction they should go. Soldiers from
different countries use similar gestures to communicate with each other when they do
not speak the same __35__.
Gestures are used in __36__ as well. For example, when a classical concert takes

四、阅读理解(共15小题, 计20分)
第一节：阅读下面A、B、C三篇短文, 从所给的四个选项中选出能回答所
提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案。(共10小题, 计15分)
A
Knowing the eye contact
◆If a person doesn't want to make eye contact, there may be something he
doesn't want you to know.
◆People who are looking for a piece of memory often look up. People who
make up (编造) something often look down.
Knowing the looks on their faces
◆A person with a true smile smiles with his or her mouth and eyes.
◆A person with an untrue smile does not smile with the eyes.
Knowing body language about hands and feet
4
◆Hands in pockets may mean the person is keeping his distance.
◆Feet pointing towards the door of the house may mean the person really
wants to leave.
41. When a person doesn't want to make eye contact with you, what is he doing?
A. He is trying something.
C. He is encouraging himself.
B. He is hiding something.
D. He is giving up himself.
42. Which of the following can show your brother doesn't want to be close to you?

Sometimes, using hand gestures can be more informative and convenient than
using words, especially when you can't speak someone else's language. But before
you head out into the world using the hand gestures you already know, you may want
to do some research first to find out what signs are acceptable and where.
V for Victory.
In Asia, “V” stands for victory. But in Western countries, it can mean peace, too.
When you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outwards.
Showing people the back of your hand is an impolite gesture in the UK.
L for Loser.
The letter “L”, made with your thumb and index finger, stands for “Loser” and
is an insult. So it's best to avoid making this sign.
Blah-blah-blah!
This gesture looks like a talking mouth. It is often used to describe someone who
is talking too much and doing too little. It's also a little rude.
5
B. Eye contact.
D. Shaking hands.
Fingers Crossed.
Crossing the index and middle fingers is used to wish for good luck. Students
might make this sign before an exam. Of course, it doesn't actually help!
ILY Sign.
This really nice hand gesture is from American Sign Language. It combines the
letters “I” “L” and “Y” to mean “I love you”.
Counting with Fingers.
And finally, for the most useful signs—how to count the numbers from one to ten.
Notice how English-speaking countries use both hands instead of one. So the next
time you go to a market in the US, remember to use these signs to bargain.
44. How many gestures are mentioned in the passage?
A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.
45. When a young man falls in love with a beautiful lady, which of the following
signs he may make to her?
A. Blah-blah-blah.
C. ILY Sign.
B. Fingers Crossed.
D. Counting with Fingers.
46. When you make the sign “V”, it's ____ to show people the back of your hand in
the UK.
A. victory B. peace
C
We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don't
Let the Wrong Gesture Ruin Your Day.
English is the world's international language. But in your book, non-verbal (不用
语言的) communication is paid more attention to. ________
June: Well, gestures and other body language can have different meanings in
different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to
6
C. polite D. rude
be very impolite in another culture. I've described many of these customs and cultural
differences, so my readers won't have a bad start when they meet people from places
where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects
may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake―which is usual in
some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?
June: Take the gesture for “come here” for example. In North America, people
gesture with the palm (掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means
“goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead,
people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right? What about the
thumbs-up gesture for “great”？
June: Sorry. That's very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it is
important to know about body language and cultural differences.
47. Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye” in southern Europe?
A. B.
C. D.
48. According to the passage, ____ is NOT mentioned in June's book.
A. the importance of body language
B. some common gestures
C. the development of body language
D. different meanings of a gesture
49. Which of the following can be put in the ____？
A. How is that possible?
B. Could it make readers interested?
C. Can you give us some examples?
7
D. Why is that so important?
50. What can we infer from the passage?
A. June paid more attention to the language of English in her book.
B. A girl from Australia may be angry with you if you praise her by using the
thumbs-up gesture.
C. Body language is the world's international language.
D. In many Asian countries, the palmup gesture is thought rude.
第二节：根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选
项中有两项为多余选项。(共5小题, 计5分)
D
Different gestures mean different things in different countries. Sometimes a
gesture that is polite in one country is not polite in another and should not be used. 51.
________ A gesture that many people do not understand is one that uses the thumb.
Most westerners will sometimes show that they like something by holding out a
closed hand with the thumb lifting in the air. 52. ________ Often, only one thumb is
used, so it should be “the thumb up”.
The usual explanation for the origin of this gesture is not really correct. 53.
________ When people were pleased with the way a gladiator (角斗士) had fought,
they showed their thumbs up. When they were not pleased, they gave the thumbs
down. When a gladiator was given the thumbs up, the emperor allowed him to live. 54.
________
55. ________ If people wanted to save the gladiator, they put out their hands and
hid their thumbs in their hands. If they wanted the gladiator to die, they pointed their
thumbs straight at him.
8
a gladiator was given the thumbs down, the emperor ordered him to be
killed.
B. This is called give someone or something “the thumbs-up”.
C. Using the palm as a gesture has different meanings in different cultures.
D. Different meanings of gestures can also cause problems in understanding
what another person is trying to say.
E. It is said that this gesture could date back to ancient Roman times.
F. The truth is, however, it was translated into a wrong meaning by mistake.
G. As we know, different people from different countries can understand their
own gestures.

七、(荣德原创)任务型阅读(共5小题, 计10分)
阅读下面短文, 根据短文内容, 完成下列各题。
Even if two people speak the same language, they can still have different accents
(口音) if they grew up in different towns. But did you know that humans aren't the
only ones that have accents?
In fact, accents can be found in some parts of the animal world, too. Some cows,
birds, elephants, bats and dolphins have differences in the way they talk to each other.
Recently, scientists made an interesting finding about a bird called the fork-tailed
flycatcher. The study found that two subspecies (亚种) of this bird can make different
sounds with their long tail wings (尾翼).
They found that the bird reaches a speed of 65 miles (about 105 km) an hour
1 0
when flying. As they fly, they can make high-pitched (音调高的) sounds with their
tails. The birds use their long tail wings to make sharp turns when hunting. Males (雄
鸟) also use them to attract female birds.
The researchers believe that the “accents” might push the birds into becoming a
completely new species(品种). The leader of the study explained that as their sounds
become more and more different, the two subspecies will become less likely to feel
close to each other. In that case, they will not see the other as a potential (潜在的)
mate.
71. How do animals talk to each other?
They ______________ to talk to each other.
72. What can two subspecies of the fork-tailed flycatcher do with their long tail
wings?
They can ____________________________________________________.
73. When do the birds use their long tail wings to make sharp turns?
They use their long tail wings to make sharp turns when ______________.
74. What might push the birds into becoming a completely new species?
______________ might push the birds into becoming a completely new species.
75. What does the passage mainly talk about?
It mainly talks about _______________________________________________.

hand is to say “Goodbye”. A smile shows welcome, and clapping hands means
“Congratulations”. Nodding one's head means agreement, but shaking one's head
means disagreement. We all use body language in our daily life.
