【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一栏和最后一栏中的click here可知，本文摘自网站。这里是说通过点击链接，即可获取更多信息。由此判断出，短文来自于网站。故选A.
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一栏Mon—Thu,12Oct | 10a.m.—7p.m. (last admission 6:30 p.m.) 的信息点可知，周四允许游客进入博物馆的最后时间是6:30p.m.，正巧是Simon的下班时间，因此根本不可能赶上任何博物馆活动，故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据With special programme designed for the National Museum, kids can draw their imaginary future museum可知，孩子们是使用一个特殊软件来体验VR，而不是自己去创造一个软件，因此A错。根据…animate（使……活灵活现） it by using their own body movements可知，孩子们可以通过移动他们的身体来构建虚拟世界，因此B正确。C选项虽然在原文有所提及，但答非所问，题目问的是“孩子们如何创造一个虚拟世界”，而C选项却说“与最终作品进行互动”，D选项与博物馆职员及志愿者举行仪式去创造虚拟世界，根本没提到，故选B。
B

He dragged his captive(俘虏） into a hall and up many long stairways in a dark building. The dog made willing efforts, but he could not walk very skillfully up the stairs because he was very small and soft,and at last the pace of the child grew so energetic that the dog became panic-stricken. In his mind he was being dragged toward somewhere unknown. His ayes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.
The child redoubled his efforts.They had a battle on the stairs.The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose,and because the dog was very small.He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home,and finally with victory across the doorway.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小狗走失后偶遇一个男孩，最终成功跟随小男孩回家的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On the way to his home the child turned many times and beat the dog, declaring with childish gestures that he held him in contempt(茂视）as an unimportant dog. the dog apologized for being this quality of animal and expressed regret in fine form, but he continued stealthily to follow the child.(在回家的路上，孩子多次转过身来打那条狗，用孩子气的手势宣称他蔑视那条狗，认为它是一条不重要的狗。狗为自己是这样的动物而道歉，并以良好的形式表示遗憾，但它继续偷偷地跟着孩子。)”可知，孩子试图摆脱狗，而且他们在此之前并不认识，可见他们是无意间遇到的。从而推断，这条狗曾是别人的宠物，但迷路了。小狗是丢失后才遇到男孩的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He performed a few playful jumps with such abandon(尽情地） that the child suddenly saw him to be a valuable thing.(它尽情地跳了几下，孩子突然觉得它很有价值。)”可知，小狗努力的取悦男孩，使得男孩改变了主意。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。文章四五两段在描述男孩拖拉小狗上楼梯的过程，看得出小男孩精力充沛，一直不懈的努力着，尽管当时小狗是有点害怕的，但小男孩没有停止自己的行为，可见这个男孩子有点调皮。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。狗的心情和它的遭遇是一致的，第一段狗尽管被嫌弃但还是跟着，心情是有点罪恶感的，从apologized可以看出；第二段出现了anxious and shamed，可见狗的心情是紧张羞愧；第三段狗取悦小孩；四五段就是狗被带上楼梯的过程，从panic-stricken可以看出，狗因为未知的地方感到害怕；最后一段狗和小孩已经交好，推断出心情愉悦。故选C。
C
Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.
If you cannot read someone else' s emotional state, your ability to empathize with them may be compromised. Likewise, if your own mask is hiding your emotional state, others may not be able to empathize with you. Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted and self-conscious, further weakening your connection to others.
Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which may be easier said than done. Eye contact generates self- consciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they stand up straighter, when they are sad, they drop their head; and when they are angry, their whole body tenses up. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.
Become aware of your own body language, too. When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking , straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Finally, he ware that imitating the posture of another person can increase how much they like you and even agree with you.
By all means, continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe, but don't neglect your relationships as a consequence. Social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant.
8. What will happen if you wear a mask
A. Your fear won't be known by others. B. Others will have difficulty understanding you.
C. You will lose the ability to empathize with others. D. Others won't focus on your face.
9. Why is eye contact difficult
A. It may lead to misunderstanding. B. It requires more brain power.
C. It may cause people to believe you less. D. It will result in social distance.
10. What does paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about
A. Body language is a double-edged sword. B. Body language can convey shocking information.
C. We should make good use of body language. D. Be careful with your body language when talking.
11. What is the best title of this passage
A. How do people use their bodies to convey emotion
B. Facial expressions, the primary way of human connection.
C. Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, which is the best
D. How do we keep socially distant to keep ourselves safe
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了面部表情在人们沟通中的重要作用，以及除了面部表情之外，人们还应该利用眼神交流和肢体语言的方式去沟通。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“If you cannot read someone else' s emotional state, your ability to empathize with them may be compromised. Likewise, if your own mask is hiding your emotional state, others may not be able to empathize with you.(如果你不能读懂别人的情绪状态，你同情他们的能力可能会受到影响。同样地，如果你自己的口罩隐藏了你的情绪状态，其他人可能无法与你共情)”可知，如果你戴上口罩，其他人很难理解你。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Eye contact generates self- consciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds.(目光接触会使人产生自我意识，消耗额外的脑力，3秒钟后就会感到不舒服)”可知，眼神交流很困难，是因为它需要更多的脑力。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段段首句“You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself.(你可能会惊讶于身体本身传递了多少信息)”以及第五段“Become aware of your own body language, too. (也要注意自己的肢体语言)”可知，第四段为了证明肢体语言的传递能力举了很多具体的例子，第五段是让读者注重自身运用肢体语言。由此可知，第四段和第五段主要讲了我们应该充分利用身体语言。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.(面部表情是人们表达情感和解读他人感受的主要方式。快乐、悲伤、厌恶、恐惧和惊讶都可以仅通过面部表情来传达。但当部分面部被遮住时，识别这些线索就变得更加困难)”结合文章主要介绍了面部表情在人们沟通中的重要作用，以及除了面部表情之外，人们还应该利用眼神交流和肢体语言的方式去沟通。故A选项“人们如何使用他们的身体来传达情感？”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
If Mars were the popular kid in school Venus (金星)would be the unwelcome one sitting in the corner, largely ignored. Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth, but being closer to the sun, it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.
However, instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth’s, Venus's surface and atmosphere are unbearable: clouds of sulphuric acid blanket the planet, while at ground level, it is hot enough to melt lead. Despite this, there is now a sign that Venus may harbour life.
Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected phosphine (磷化氢)in Venus's atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes(微生物).Though this doesn't mean it was produced by life on Venus, attempts to find non — biological explanations for its presence have so far failed.
Our best way of confirming or rejecting the possibility of life on Venus is to go and have a proper look. While Mars has been the focus of interplanetary exploration efforts lately, the phosphine discovery lets people look at Venus in a new light. As NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted： "It's time to prioritize Venus.”
In the months and years to come, computer simulations will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus. More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus. A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus. By doing so, we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.
The discovery of phosphine in Venus's atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world. Possibly, the quiet kid in the corner may get the last laugh.
12. In theory, what's Venus expected to be like
A. It is almost as large as Earth.
B. It has nearly the same mass as Earth.
C It has a warmer Earth-like climate.
D. It has the unbearable surface and atmosphere.
13. What can the discovery of phosphine on Venus indicate
A. There might exist signs of life.
B. This kind of gas is very common.
C. Many products can be made with it.
D. Experiments were once conducted there.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The importance of observations.
B. The power of computer simulations.
C. The approaches to exploring phosphine.
D. The necessity to analyse phosphine.
15. Which can best describe the author's attitude to the exploration of Venus
A. Casual. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了对金星的探究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth, but being closer to the sun, it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.(金星的质量和大小几乎与地球相同，但由于离太阳更近，它从太阳获得的热量几乎是地球的两倍)”可知，在理论上，金星是与地球质量相同的更温暖的星球，故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected phosphine (磷化氢)in Venus's atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes(微生物).( 英国卡迪夫大学的Jane Greaves和她的同事们最近在金星的大气中发现了磷化氢，一种可能的解释是，它是生物学的副产品。这是因为在地球上制造这种气体的唯一方法是在实验室里或通过实验室微生物。)”可知，通过在金星上发现了磷化氢，说明了那里可能存在生命的迹象，故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段第一句“In the months and years to come, computer simulations will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus.( 在未来的几个月或几年里，计算机模拟将被用于进一步研究金星大气的化学成分。)”和最后一句“By doing so, we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.(通过这样做，我们可以直接测量磷化氢。)”可知，第5段主要是关于探索磷化氢的方法，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The discovery of phosphine in Venus's atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world. ( 在金星大气层中发现磷化氢是一项伟大的成就。科学的努力也许正是我们最终重新关注这个被忽视的世界所需要的。)”可知，作者认为在金星大气层中发现磷化氢是一项伟大的成就，因此作者对探索金星的态度是支持的，故选B。
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. ____16____ But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. ____17____ One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.
____18____ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark.____19____ They never take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
____20____ Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
A. This blocks awareness.
B. They don’t know what awareness is.
C. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness.
D. It seldom occurred to them to wander a little bit.
E. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait.
F. Being sharp doesn’t mean we have to stay alert all the time, though.
G. Another block to awareness is the obsession many of us have with naming things.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. G 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。与孩子相比，成年人对身边的新鲜事物感到麻木，文章告诉我们如何能重新认识到我们身边世界的美。
【16题详解】
根据空格前“A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder.”可知，孩子的一天充满了魅力、新奇和惊奇。C项“Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness.”意为“好奇心给了我们所有人一种自然的意识”，选项中的Curiosity与上文中的fascination, newness and wonder相呼应，能够承接上文，讲述了好奇心会让我们意识到身边的新鲜事物，且与下文成年人对新的刺激和新的想法感到麻木形成对比。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据空格前“The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.”可知，唤醒感官的第一步是停止预测我们将看到什么和感觉到什么，在那些事情发生之前。A项“This blocks awareness.”意为“这会阻碍意识”，句中的This指代的是前文提到的“预测我们将看到什么和感觉到什么”，选项内容讲的是这样做的缺点，能够承接上文。故选A项。
【18题详解】
分析文章结构可知，设空处为段落主旨句。结合段落内容“I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.”可知，本段主要讲述了观鸟者只是在指南中查找自己看到的鸟并核对它的名字，并没有真正的注意这只鸟和它正在做什么。G项“Another block to awareness is the obsession many of us have with naming things.”意为“另一个阻碍意识的因素是我们很多人对命名事物的痴迷”，选项内容能够概括段落主旨，我们只是命名事物，并没有真正的观察并了解它。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据空格后“They never take a moment to see what’s around them.”可知，徒步旅行者们从不花一点儿时间去看看周围有什么。D项“It seldom occurred to them to wander a little bit.”意为“他们很少会闲逛一会儿”，选项能够承接下文，正是因为他们很少会闲逛一会儿，所以他们才从不花一点儿时间去看看周围有什么。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据空格后“Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations.”可知，下次你散步的时候，不管在哪里，要欣赏所有的风景，声音和感觉。由此可知，本段告诉我们要学会欣赏大自然的美。E项“Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait.”意为“大自然似乎在展现给那些观望和等待的人看”，句子符合段落主旨，自然的美就在那，等待着你欣赏，而你要学会放慢脚步去欣赏。故选E项。

The library book does _____34_____me the cost of a paperback, but it just delivers a _____35_____satisfaction, one that can't promise permanent ownership. Live your life fully, for our lives are only lent to us and can't be owned forever.

第二节语法填空（共10 小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Breaking habits is hard. This is largely because we are constantly exposed to stimuli (刺激物), ____36____ take control of the reward-based learning system in our brains designed initially for ____37____ (survive). Reward-based learning, to put it ____38____ (simple), involves a trigger (诱因), followed by a behavior and a reward. These three components (trigger, behavior and reward) show up every time we do what we desire to do. And then we gradually have the habits.
So why can’t we just control ourselves and decide to replace bad habits with good ones ____39____ the fact that researchers show that the brain networks associated with self-control are the first to go “offline” when ____40____ (face) with triggers such as stress, the doctrine (学说) of self-control ____41____ (know) for decades. When I was in medical school, I was taught to pass self-control speech on to my patients. “Need to lose weight Don’t eat junk food. Try to quit ____42____ (smoke) Stop it and use a nicotine replacement.”
When I started actually practicing medicine, however, I quickly learned that it is impractical in real life. Self-control theories have missed something ____43____ (critic): reward-based learning is based on rewards, not behaviors. How rewarding a behavior drives how likely we are ____44____ (repeat) that behavior in the future, and this is why self-control as _____45_____ approach to breaking habits often fails.
【答案】36. which
37. survival
38. simply 39. Despite
40. faced 41. has been known
42. smoking
43. critical
44. to repeat
45. an
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了打破习惯是很困难的，阐述了基于奖励的学习以及自我控制不能打破习惯的原因。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这在很大程度上是因为我们不断暴露于刺激物中，它控制了我们最初为幸存者设计的大脑中基于奖励的学习系统。分析句子可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰stimuli，指物，用关系代词引导非限定性定语从句。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。介词后跟名词survival，再结合句意可知，不填survivors，而填survival“生存”，故填survival。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：简单地说，基于奖励的学习涉及到一个诱因，然后是一个行为和一个奖励。副词simply修饰动词put作状语，故填simply。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管研究人员表明，当面对压力等诱因时，与自我控制有关的大脑网络最先“脱机”，但自我控制的理论几十年来一直为人们所知。Despite the fact that… 意为“尽管”，根据句意，前后文是转折关系，置句首单词首字母大写，故填Despite。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：尽管研究人员表明，当面对压力等诱因时，与自我控制有关的大脑网络最先“脱机”，但自我控制的理论几十年来一直为人们所知。分析句子可知，此处是状语从句的省略，还原后为：when the are faced。故填faced。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：尽管研究人员表明，当面对压力等诱因时，与自我控制有关的大脑网络最先“脱机”，但自我控制的理论几十年来一直为人们所知。分析句子可知，know是谓语动词，根据时间状语for decades，可知用现在完成时，主语the doctrine与谓语动know是被动关系，且主语the doctrine是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，故填has been known。
【42题详解】
考查动名词。句意：努力戒烟吗？quit doing是习惯用法，表示“停止做某事”，故填smoking。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：自我控制理论错过了一些重要的东西。something critical意为“一些重要的事”，修饰不定代词用形容词作定语，置于其后，故填critical。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意: 对一种行为的奖励程度决定了我们在未来有多大的可能重复这种行为，这就是为什么自我控制作为一种打破习惯的方法常常失败的原因。分析句子可知，此处为how引导的宾语从句，修饰表语likely，be likely to do sth.“很可能做某事”是固定短语，故填to repeat。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意: 对一种行为的奖励程度决定了我们在未来有多大的可能重复这种行为，这就是为什么自我控制作为一种打破习惯的方法常常失败的原因。self-control是改掉习惯的一种方法，表泛指。approach以元音因素开头，故填an。
第三节词汇检测（每小题1分，共10题满分10分）
46. The company's new policy ________ (起反作用) when a number of employees threatened to quit.（根据汉语提示单词拼写）
【答案】backfired
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：许多员工威胁要辞职，公司的新政策事与愿违。分析句子可知，提示词“起反作用”是主句谓语动词，可用不及物动词backfire表示，意为“产生出乎意料及事与愿违的结果”，根据时间状语从句“when a number of employees threatened to quit.”时态可知，主句也应使用一般过去时态。故填backfired。
47. The report documents the staggering(令人震惊的) amount of d________ violence against women.（根据首字母单词拼写）
【答案】defending##efending
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：该报告记录了数量惊人的针对妇女的暴力辩护。根据首字母提示及句意可知是动词defend，介词of后接动名词作宾语。故填defending。

【答案】fundamental
【解析】
【分析】

55. He treated us as a________ individuals who had to learn to make up our own minds about important issues. （根据首字母单词拼写）
【答案】autonomous##utonomous
【解析】

Afternoon was Mrs. Conroy's favorite time of day. After a day,s hard work, her eyes were tired and her feet hurt. She enjoyed the nice long nap she took on the bus. Mrs. Conroy had made friends with the bus driver, Mr. Angstrom. He always woke her up before her stop. She usually felt fresh when she got off the bus.
But today was different. Mr. Angstrom wasn,t driving. A small man in a wrinkled uniform sat in the driver's seat.
"Where's Mr. Angstrom" asked Mrs. Conroy, dropping her money into the box.
"I don,t know. Sick, I guess. I just work here, lady. "Step to the back seat.
Mrs. Conroy hoped that Mr. Angstrom was all right. She didn't like this new driver. She decided not to sleep on the way home today. She didn't want to ask this driver to wake her. He didn't look like the type who'd want to do anyone a favor.
Mrs. Conroy tried to keep her eyes open, but the gentle rocking of the bus had a calm effect. Within a few minutes her eyes closed. With her head dropping to her shoulders, Mrs. Conroy fell fast asleep.
The next thing Mrs. Conroy knew, a hand was on her shoulder. Someone was shaking her awake.
"Wake up, lady. We've come to the end of the line. Wake up."
Mrs. Conroy blinked (眨眼)and opened her eyes. The bus driver looked down at her." Time for you to get off the bus."
Mrs. Conroy peered out the window. "Where am I " she asked. "I was supposed to get off at Essex Avenue."
"You're at the last stop, lady. Come on, get off the bus. I have a schedule to keep to."
Mrs. Conroy was having trouble waking up. The bus driver took her arm and helped her down the bus. "Wait a minute," she said in a sharp voice. "This isn,t Essex Avenue. Where am I How can I get home "
"Can you ride me back " she begged. "Sorry, lady. It's against the rules." he said as he closed the door.

Mrs. Conroy watched the bus disappear down the road. She looked around and tried to figure out what part of the city she was in, but she didn't recognize this place. There were no trees around, no taxis, no street signs, and no people.There was nothing to see in any direction. Mrs. Conroy wondered if she were still dreaming. The night was drawing near, and it was quiet all around. Mrs. Conroy felt terribly scared, not knowing what to do.
Paragraph 2
Ten minutes later, the bus driver returned and sped up to Mrs. Conroy. Thinking of the poor woman, he decided to break the company's rules and help the woman. He soon saw Mrs. Conroy standing in the wind, helplessly. "I'm so sorry, madam. I shouldn't leave you here alone in spite of the company rules. Please forgive me. I'll drive you home." Hearing this, Mrs. Conroy was excited and appreciated for the driver's behavior. The company praised the bus driver for what he did instead of punishing him for his breaking rules.

Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.
If you cannot read someone else' s emotional state, your ability to empathize with them may be compromised. Likewise, if your own mask is hiding your emotional state, others may not be able to empathize with you. Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted and self-conscious, further weakening your connection to others.
Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which may be easier said than done. Eye contact generates self- consciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they stand up straighter, when they are sad, they drop their head; and when they are angry, their whole body tenses up. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask.
Become aware of your own body language, too. When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking , straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Finally, he ware that imitating the posture of another person can increase how much they like you and even agree with you.
By all means, continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe, but don't neglect your relationships as a consequence. Social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant.

A. Your fear won't be known by others. B. Others will have difficulty understanding you.
C. You will lose the ability to empathize with others. D. Others won't focus on your face.

A. It may lead to misunderstanding. B. It requires more brain power.

If Mars were the popular kid in school, Venus (金星)would be the unwelcome one sitting in the corner, largely ignored. Venus has nearly the same mass and size as Earth, but being closer to the sun, it gets nearly twice as much heat from the sun.
However, instead of having a climate that is just a warmer version of Earth’s, Venus's surface and atmosphere are unbearable: clouds of sulphuric acid blanket the planet, while at ground level, it is hot enough to melt lead. Despite this, there is now a sign that Venus may harbour life.
Jane Greaves at Cardiff University, UK, and her colleagues recently detected phosphine (磷化氢)in Venus's atmosphere, with one potential explanation that it is the by-product of biology. That is because the only way this gas is made on Earth is in laboratories or by microbes(微生物).Though this doesn't mean it was produced by life on Venus, attempts to find non — biological explanations for its presence have so far failed.
Our best way of confirming or rejecting the possibility of life on Venus is to go and have a proper look. While Mars has been the focus of interplanetary exploration efforts lately, the phosphine discovery lets people look at Venus in a new light. As NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine tweeted： "It's time to prioritize Venus.”
In the months and years to come, computer simulations will be used to further study the possible chemistries of the atmosphere on Venus. More laboratory experiments will be conducted to try to identify other ways the phosphine there could be produced. However, there is no guarantee that these efforts will reveal the true nature of this substance on Venus. A newly-proposed strategy is to directly sample the atmosphere and surface of Venus. By doing so, we would be able to take direct measurements of phosphine.
The discovery of phosphine in Venus's atmosphere is a great accomplishment. The scientific efforts may be just what we need to finally refocus on this neglected world. Possibly, the quiet kid in the corner may get the last laugh.
12. In theory, what's Venus expected to be like
A. It is almost as large as Earth.
B. It has nearly the same mass as Earth.
C. It has a warmer Earth-like climate.
D. It has the unbearable surface and atmosphere.
13. What can the discovery of phosphine on Venus indicate
A. There might exist signs of life.
B. This kind of gas is very common.
C. Many products can be made with it.
D. Experiments were once conducted there.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The importance of observations.
B. The power of computer simulations.
C. The approaches to exploring phosphine.
D. The necessity to analyse phosphine.
15. Which can best describe the author's attitude to the exploration of Venus
A. Casual. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Doubtful.

Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. ____16____ But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. ____17____ One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.
____18____ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark.____19____ They never take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
____20____ Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
A. This blocks awareness.
B. They don’t know what awareness is.
C. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness.
D. It seldom occurred to them to wander a little bit.
E. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait.
F. Being sharp doesn’t mean we have to stay alert all the time, though.
G. Another block to awareness is the obsession many of us have with naming things.

Afternoon was Mrs. Conroy's favorite time of day. After a day,s hard work, her eyes were tired and her feet hurt. She enjoyed the nice long nap she took on the bus. Mrs. Conroy had made friends with the bus driver, Mr. Angstrom. He always woke her up before her stop. She usually felt fresh when she got off the bus.
But today was different. Mr. Angstrom wasn,t driving. A small man in a wrinkled uniform sat in the driver's seat.
"Where's Mr. Angstrom" asked Mrs. Conroy, dropping her money into the box.
"I don,t know. Sick, I guess. I just work here, lady. "Step to the back seat.
Mrs. Conroy hoped that Mr. Angstrom was all right. She didn't like this new driver. She decided not to sleep on the way home today. She didn't want to ask this driver to wake her. He didn't look like the type who'd want to do anyone a favor.
Mrs. Conroy tried to keep her eyes open, but the gentle rocking of the bus had a calm effect. Within a few minutes her eyes closed. With her head dropping to her shoulders, Mrs. Conroy fell fast asleep.
The next thing Mrs. Conroy knew, a hand was on her shoulder. Someone was shaking her awake.
"Wake up, lady. We've come to the end of the line. Wake up."
Mrs. Conroy blinked (眨眼)and opened her eyes. The bus driver looked down at her." Time for you to get off the bus."
Mrs. Conroy peered out the window. "Where am I " she asked. "I was supposed to get off at Essex Avenue."
"You're at the last stop, lady. Come on, get off the bus. I have a schedule to keep to."
Mrs. Conroy was having trouble waking up. The bus driver took her arm and helped her down the bus. "Wait a minute," she said in a sharp voice. "This isn,t Essex Avenue. Where am I How can I get home "
"Can you ride me back " she begged. "Sorry, lady. It's against the rules." he said as he closed the door.
