I believe that people should stop texting while driving because it not only endangers themselves but others around them. Family members, friends and strangers can be hurt by a simple mistake; their lives can be overturned(倾覆) completely.
Before I participated in the Thumb Wars campaign, I used to put sticky(粘的) notes inside my car to advise any person that was within it not to text while driving. I posted a quote on my social pages that said, “Drive now text later.” The message especially caught my dad’s attention. Since he is on the road about three out of the seven days of the week, we are all worried about his safety. He decided to never use his phone while driving. When it comes to informing other people about the dangers of texting while driving, I usually bring up conversations about driving which then lead me to lecture them on why they shouldn't text while driving. Thumb Wars has given me a new way and opportunity to prevent people from texting while driving.
The era we live in today is all about technology, and there is always the urge to text. Thumb Wars is an inspirational campaign that fights against that. What I was trying to achieve was to not only change my life, but also try to influence the lives of others for the better. I believe that I can make people realize the consequences of texting while driving. They all know that it is not worth it and could change someone's life instantly. I believe that if there were more campaigns like Thumb Wars there would be fewer accidents because more people would be aware of the effects of texting while driving.
All a person needs is inspiration and efforts to avoid texting while driving. Thumb Wars is a good channel which makes it the ideal campaign to help with others and make a difference in this world.
4. What led to the author’s father’s decision to avoid using phone while driving
A. The notes inside the author’s car.
B. The author’s quote on his social pages.
C. The author’s joining in the Thumb Wars campaign.

A. it isn’t worth texting while driving
B. people tend to ignore the traffic lights
C. attention is needed to text while driving
D. Thumb Wars was started by the author
7. What might be the most suitable title for the passage
A. An Immediate Mistake B. Thumb Wars
C. Turning off Your Phone D. The Danger of Driving
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I believe that I can make people realize the consequences of texting while driving. They all know that it is not worth it and could change someone's life instantly. (我相信我能让人们意识到开车时发短信的后果。他们都知道这是不值得的，可能会瞬间改变人的一生。)”可知，作者认为开车时发短信是不值得做的事情。故选A项。

Thumb Wars is a good channel, which makes it the ideal campaign to help with others and make a difference in this world.

C
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility toward that clerk increased with each step.
On the outside, standing by the road, was a dark skinned young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave way immediately. The magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.
“Beautiful day, isn’t it” I remarked, in passing. Then, I turned back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Sir, but he doesn’t speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something ”
At that moment I felt transformed. The young man’s smile had made a big person of me.
“Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you!’”
“Thank you ” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand; I am sure!”
Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.
8. The author left the store angrily because ________.
A. his intended purchases were of poor quality
B. there’s nothing he wanted in the shop
C. the clerk didn’t speak English
D. the clerk didn’t treat him kindly
9. The underlined word “hostility” in the first paragraph probably means ________.
A. attitude B. hatred
C. idea D. opinion
10. What does the author mean by saying “I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.” in Paragraph 2
A. He did not want to smile.
B. He would thank the young man.
C. He smiled back at the young man.
D. He was happy to meet the young man.
11. The passage tells us that we should ________.
A. help people in trouble B. practice smiling every day
C. smile at others D. be generous to strangers
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个陌生的年轻人用自己的微笑化解了作者心中的不快，这次经历让作者意识到微笑的力量，并学会在生活中对他人微笑。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store.”（他似乎非常不友好，对我打算购买的东西一点也不关心。我什么也没买，怒气冲冲地走出商店。）可知，因为店员对作者非常不友好，对他打算购买的东西一点也不关心，所以作者什么也没买，怒气冲冲地走出商店，由此可知，作者愤怒地离开了商店，是因为店员对待他不友善。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store.”（他似乎非常不友好，对我打算购买的东西一点也不关心。我什么也没买，怒气冲冲地走出商店。）可知，因为店员对待作者不友善，作者愤怒地离开了商店，由此可知，作者对那个店员是有敌意的，“hatred”意为“厌恶，憎恨”，能够代替划线单词的意思，表达作者对店员的态度。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“The magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me”（那微笑的魅力化解了我内心的所有痛苦）和最后一段关键句“From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.”（从那天起，我开始有微笑意识，我在任何地方，每个地方，与每个人一起努力练习这门艺术。）可知，年轻人的微笑感染了作者，化解了作者内心的痛苦，这也使作者意识到微笑的力量，并对年轻人报以微笑，由此可知，作者在第二段中说“I found the muscles in my own face happily responding”的意思是“他对那个年轻人报以微笑”。故选C项。

D
In today’s society , language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary, and also their non-verbal (非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men’s body language is much more reserved when talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other people’s body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language” The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there ” would no longer exist.
12. What does the underlined word “this”in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The differences between men’s and women’s languages.
B. The different speed of men’s and women’s speech.
C. The ability of men’s and women’s spoken language.
D. The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women.
13. In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph
A. Speed of understanding.
B. Understanding of speech roles.
C. Politeness of communication.
D. Application of body language.
14. What is the author’s attitude to the differences between men’s and women’s communication
A. Cautious.
B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous.
D. Skeptical.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Women , born excellent talkers
B. Men’s and women’s social roles
C. Vocabulary and communication
D. Opposite gender, different language
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。讲述的是“相反的性别,不同的语言”。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第一、二句Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; 许多不同的研究表明，男人比女人更爱说话。事实证明，女性说话速度比男性快。再根据第二段下文this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. 这是由于女性比男性更容易被打断，而且她们比男性更清楚、更准确、更迅速地说话。由此推知，此处this指的是男人和女人说话的速度不同。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, 男人和女人也有一种非常不同的非语言交流方式，故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language” 可知，作者对男女之间的沟通差异是赞同的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段In today’s society , language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary, and also their non-verbal (非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.和最后一段最后一句The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there ” would no longer exist.可知，本文的主题是“相反的性别,不同的语言”。故选D。
【名师点睛】
推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。本题第3小题，根据最后一段中After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language” 可知，作者对男女之间的沟通差异使赞同的。故选B。

3. Build confidence through practice.
It is recommended that one day per week should focus on applying the language to real life.
If there's a Spanish restaurant in your city, why not greet them with “Hola!” or try ordering in Spanish If that's unavailable where you live, the Internet still provides a lot of places to read the language, or listen to a podcast, or to find an online community where you can communicate with others. ___19___

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了使用Babbel语言学习方法的几个好处。
【16题详解】
根据下文“At Babbel, lessons are designed to fit perfectly into those times when you're waiting or commuting. Many users use the app while on public transportation, especially on their way to work.(在Babbel，课程的设计完全适合你等待或通勤的时间。许多用户在乘坐公共交通工具时使用这款应用，尤其是在上班的路上)”可知，后文提到在上班路上使用软件学习，即“在路上学习”。故C选项“在路上学习”符合语境，故选C。
17题详解】
根据上文“Many users use the app while on public transportation, especially on their way to work.(许多用户在乘坐公共交通工具时使用这款应用，尤其是在上班的路上)”可知，上文提到在上班路上使用软件学习，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文对这一行为进行评价：这是无聊时间的完美利用。故E选项“这是无聊时间的完美利用”符合语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Learners can adapt their studying for their personality type. There are two types of language learners: those who like routines and those who don't. The former can make up their own schedule, like two sets of repetition and one new lesson, and they stick to it.(学习者可以根据自己的性格类型调整学习方式。有两种类型的语言学习者：喜欢例行公事的和不喜欢例行公事的。前者可以制定自己的时间表，比如两套重复课和一节新课，然后坚持下去)”可知，上文提到了喜欢例行公事的人的学习方式，可知本句应当是在说明后者，即“不喜欢例行公事的”人该如何安排时间。故A选项“对于后者，他们只是不每天做同样的事情”符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“If there's a Spanish restaurant in your city, why not greet them with “Hola!” or try ordering in Spanish If that's unavailable where you live, the Internet still provides a lot of places to read the language, or listen to a podcast, or to find an online community where you can communicate with others.(如果你所在的城市有一家西班牙餐馆，为什么不用“Hola！”或者试着用西班牙语点餐？如果你住的地方没有这些，互联网仍然提供了很多地方来阅读语言，或听播客，或找到一个你可以与他人交流的在线社区)”可知，上文提到了互联网提供与人交流的在线社区，即通过应用来学习语言，故G选项“应用是真正把信息变成长期记忆的最好方法”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“The most important thing is to do something every day.(最重要的是每天都要做一些事情)”以及后文“The key to proficiency in another language is daily practice. With this consistency, you'll be speaking a new language in no time.(精通另一种语言的关键是每天的练习。有了这种一致性，你很快就能说一门新语言了)”可知，本段主要强调的是每天的练习，养成习惯，即“即使只有15分钟，也总比什么都没有好”。故B选项“即使只有15分钟，也总比什么都没有好”符合语境，故选B。

【点睛】在完成完形填空时，我们要做到瞻前顾后 寻找关联，然后再做到完形完义 立足全局。
完形填空题的特点基于整个语篇的理解，不从单句入手，有时如果从某一个单句来理解，四个选项都可以填入，但从整个语篇来看，答案只有一个。一般来讲，一个学生如果具有较高语言水平，较好的文化背景知识，史地及其他知识比较丰富的话，做该题型的困难就会比较少；可容忍被挖掉的词就会多一些，反之亦然。但对于相同知识水平的学生来讲，讲究方法就尤其重要了。在做题目的时候，首先要对空格前后句子，然后对该空格相应的选项进行全面分析。通过瞻前顾后，寻找关联来确定空格中的词的词性、意思、和功能。如果是功能性的空格，则要求学生填入虚词即连词、介词、冠词等，那么就应根据功能来选答案。如果是语法问题，那么就要考虑时态和语态是否符合上下文、主谓是否一致；如果是语义空格，那么则要求考生填入实词即动词、名词、形容词、副词、代词等，那么就要 通过上下文进行分析，根据文章的语义环境，做到瞻前顾后，寻找关联。
做完形填空有两个程序：一是完形（选择选项，然后填补空白）；二是完义（阅读短文，然后理解短文）。但是完形必须在完义的基础上进行，也就是说首先要在阅读理解短文的基础上做好完形。完形必须服从完义，单句必须服从段落，段落必须服从全文，局部必须服从全局。因此，我们在做完形填空题时，不能读一句做一句，更不能看到就填，这样往往要出差错。先从整体到局部完义，再从局部到整体完形，完形完义，立足全局。

【解析】
【分析】本文属于记叙文，介绍了阿里巴巴开发第一家智能宾馆，客人无需排队办理入住手续，只需在智能设备上完成相关手续，这是一种趋势。
【41题详解】
考查比较级。句意：中国的宾馆客人不用再排队办理入住手续了。根据后文可知，本文主要讲述阿里巴巴开发一套系统，可以让客人自主办理入住，不用再排队办理，本题为短语no longer不再，故用longer。
【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：在阿里巴巴的一所充满未来风格的宾馆里，入住客人只需要用机器扫描身份证，拍照，输入个人信息就可以为自己办理入住手续。由于句子主语为guests，宾语为同一人称，故用反身代词themselves。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：在信息被核实之后，智能设备就会吐出一张房卡。分析句子可知，本句为时间状语从句，check与主语information为动宾关系，故用被动语态，陈述一般事实，故用一般现在时，综述用is checked。
44题详解】
考查副词。句意：目前只面向中国消费者，以后会逐渐向全球推广。修饰动词be expanded用副词，故用gradually。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：手机的使用以及移动支付的采用展示了人们的生活正变得多么的方便。分析句子可知，convenient people’s life，is becoming in China为宾语从句，从句中修饰形容词convenient用副词，故用how。
【46题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：阿里巴巴不是唯一一家推广高科技宾馆的公司。分析句子可知，introduces high-tech hotels作限制性定语从句修饰先行词company，从句缺乏主语，由于先行词有the only修饰，故只用that，不用which。
【47题详解】
考查介词。句意：在一月份的时候，一家深圳公司Smart LYZ在成都开了一家全自动化的宾馆，这家公司关注人工智能以及智能宾馆。本句为短语focus on/upon关注，故用介词on/upon。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意：游客可以通过Smart LYZ的微信小程序预定房间，通过面部识别系统办理入住手续，用手机软件或者所给的密码开门，最后在软件上按一下就可以退房。分析句子可知，本句缺乏主语，故用名词traveller，需用复数形式，故用travellers。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：游客可以通过Smart LYZ的微信小程序预定房间，通过面部识别系统办理入住手续，用手机软件或者所给的密码开门，最后在软件上按一下就可以退房。give作定语修饰password，与其属于动宾关系，故用过去分词given。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：AI智能房间无疑将会在游客有巨大的吸引力，为宾馆的现代化和顾客的满意度提升到更高水平。分析句子可知，create作结果状语，与其逻辑主语为主动关系，故用现在分词形式creating。
【点睛】定语从句中用that，不用which的情况。
一、先行词为不定代词,all, much, something, everything, anything, nothing, none, the one等。例句：Have you got something (that) he wanted 你已经得到他想要的东西了吗
二、先行词被only, any, few, little, no, just, very, one of等词修饰时。例句：You can keep any books that you find. 你可以保留你找到的任何书。
三、先行词是序数词时或被序数词修饰时。例句：When they talked about Wuxi, the first that came into my mind is Tai Lake.当他们谈到无锡时，我首先想到的是太湖。
四、先行词是最高级或被最高级修饰时。例句：She is the most beautiful girl in the world.她是世界上最漂亮的女孩。
五、先行词既有人又有物,用which和who都不适合,这时宜用that。例句：The writer and his novel that you have just talked about is really well known .你刚才谈到的那个作家和他的小说真的很有名。
六、被修饰词为数词时。例句：Yesterday my father caught two fish and put them in a basin of water .Now I can see the two that are still alive .昨天我父亲抓了两条鱼，把它们放在一盆水里，现在我可以看到那两条鱼还活着。
比如小题6，introduces high-tech hotels作限制性定语从句修饰先行词company，从句缺乏主语，由于先行词有the only修饰，故只用that，不用which。

4. large→ largest
5. was→ is
6.it→its
7. that→ which
8. wide→ widely
9.删掉fact前的the
10. kind→ kinds
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了加拿大的地理情况。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：加拿大是位于北美洲北部的一个国家。country为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且country发音以辅音音素开头，应使用不定冠词a修饰。故在country前加a。
2.考查介词。句意：这个国家从大西洋延伸到太平洋，占地998万平方公里。固定搭配，from…to…“从……到……”，此处表示加拿大的跨度之大。故将in改为to。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意：这个国家从大西洋延伸到太平洋，占地998万平方公里。该句中expand作谓语动词，cover需用非谓语动词形式在句子作状语，与the country为主动关系，应使用现在分词。故将covered改为covering。
4.考查形容词最高级。句意：加拿大是世界上总面积第二大的国家。the +序数词+最高级+单数名词+in+范围… 表示在某范围内…是第几…。故将large改为largest。
5.考查时态。句意：加拿大与美国的南部边界是世界上最长的。加拿大与美国的边界线为世界最长，这是描述现在的事实，应使用一般现在时。故将was改为is。
6.考查代词。句意：它的大部分土地被森林覆盖。此处应使用物主代词指代“加拿大的”作land的定语。故将it改为its。
7.考查定语从句。句意：首都是渥太华，它是政治和文化的中心。此处为非限制性定语从句，只能用which代替先行词Ottawa作从句主语。故将that改为which。
8.考查副词。句意：加拿大的气候在其广大地区发生了巨大的变化。该处应使用副词修饰动词change。故将wide改为widely。
9.考查介词。句意：虽然加拿大经常与寒冷的天气和雪联系在一起，但事实上，有不同的天气条件。固定搭配in fact表示“事实上，实际上”。故删掉fact前的the。
10.考查名词复数。句意：虽然加拿大经常与寒冷的天气和雪联系在一起，但事实上，有不同的天气条件。different kinds of为固定短语，意为“不同种类的”。故将kind改为kinds。

I believe that people should stop texting while driving because it not only endangers themselves but others around them. Family members, friends and strangers can be hurt by a simple mistake; their lives can be overturned(倾覆) completely.
Before I participated in the Thumb Wars campaign, I used to put sticky(粘的) notes inside my car to advise any person that was within it not to text while driving. I posted a quote on my social pages that said, “Drive now text later.” The message especially caught my dad’s attention. Since he is on the road about three out of the seven days of the week, we are all worried about his safety. He decided to never use his phone while driving. When it comes to informing other people about the dangers of texting while driving, I usually bring up conversations about driving which then lead me to lecture them on why they shouldn't text while driving. Thumb Wars has given me a new way and opportunity to prevent people from texting while driving.
The era we live in today is all about technology, and there is always the urge to text. Thumb Wars is an inspirational campaign that fights against that. What I was trying to achieve was to not only change my life, but also try to influence the lives of others for the better. I believe that I can make people realize the consequences of texting while driving. They all know that it is not worth it and could change someone's life instantly. I believe that if there were more campaigns like Thumb Wars there would be fewer accidents because more people would be aware of the effects of texting while driving.
All a person needs is inspiration and efforts to avoid texting while driving. Thumb Wars is a good channel which makes it the ideal campaign to help with others and make a difference in this world.
4. What led to the author’s father’s decision to avoid using phone while driving
A. The notes inside the author’s car.
B. The author’s quote on his social pages.
C. The author’s joining in the Thumb Wars campaign.
D. The conversations between the author and his father.
5. One of the purposes of the author’s joining Thumb Wars is to ________.
A. teach people how to use technology B. ask more people to join it
C. earn some money D. make others’ lives better
6. The author seems to agree that ________.
A. it isn’t worth texting while driving
B. people tend to ignore the traffic lights
C. attention is needed to text while driving

One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My hostility toward that clerk increased with each step.
On the outside, standing by the road, was a dark skinned young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave way immediately. The magnetic power of that smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding.
“Beautiful day, isn’t it” I remarked, in passing. Then, I turned back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Sir, but he doesn’t speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something ”
At that moment I felt transformed. The young man’s smile had made a big person of me.
“Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you!’”
“Thank you ” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand; I am sure!”
Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.

In today’s society , language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary, and also their non-verbal (非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men’s body language is much more reserved when talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other people’s body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language” The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there ” would no longer exist.
12. What does the underlined word “this”in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The differences between men’s and women’s languages.
B. The different speed of men’s and women’s speech.
C. The ability of men’s and women’s spoken language.
D. The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women.
13. In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph
A. Speed of understanding.
B. Understanding of speech roles.
C. Politeness of communication.
D. Application of body language.
14. What is the author’s attitude to the differences between men’s and women’s communication
A. Cautious.
B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous.
D. Skeptical.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Women , born excellent talkers
B. Men’s and women’s social roles
C. Vocabulary and communication
D. Opposite gender, different language
