When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesn't end there — the longtime high school teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more.
When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn't like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees.
Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn's footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to become socialized.
The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions. Those that aren't up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. Often students attend the graduations and help pass the dogs on.
“I love seeing the look on kids' faces ... when they get to see that dog again after three or four months and the dog remembers them,” Hearn said. “It's a great feeling.”
24. What has Hearn done since she was a child
A. She has collected money for the blind.
B. She has trained dogs to help the blind.
C. She has petted and cared for many homeless dogs.
D. She has provided the blind with education for free.
25. What was the attitude of Hearn's dad towards her plan
A. Mad. B. Uncaring. C. Unacceptable. D. Supportive.
26. If a dog fails to help the blind after graduation, it will _____.
A. continue to be trained
B. be taken away as a pet
C. live full-time with Hearn's students
D. become another kind of service animal
27. Which of the following can best describe Hearn
A. Honest and hard-working.
B. Strong-minded and caring.
C. Outgoing and careful.
D. Strict and creative.
C
Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin's study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto.
Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And scientists have also realized the complexity (复杂性) of body language.
Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical (实际的) areas.
“I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible ( 可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language,” a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures.
Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person's mind from their nonverbal behavior. It's easy to spot a speaker's lip movements when he faces a question he doesn't like, Joe said.
While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable.
“Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow ( 眉毛) could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said.
28. What role did Charles Darwin's study play according to paragraph 1
A. It unlocked the secret of the human mind.
B. It promoted the development of human language.
C. It encouraged people to care more about animals.
D. It helped start modern research on body language.
29. What can we infer about Mark Bowden
A. He gives advice on business language.
B. He teaches people about body language.
C. He focuses mainly on facial expressions.
D. He pays more attention to spoken language.
30. What did David Matsumoto think of Joe Navarro's methods
A. They were doubtful.
B. They were instructional.
C. They were necessary.
D. They were experimental.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Is nonverbal behavior that complex
B. Can body language tell important truths
C. Do experts know how to interpret emotions
D. Should you know more about body language
D
Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare, new research suggests. Traditionally, zoos have focused on more straightforward measures such as whether animals are eating and sleeping.
The new review, by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester, says zoos have made great improvements in recent years, but closer observation of animal behaviour — a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment, developed in farming — could show even more about their state of mind.
An animal's positioning of its body, facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited, calm, interested, nervous, relaxed, etc.
“Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals, and they will often recognise an animal's state of mind by its behaviour and body language,” said Dr. Paul Rose, of the University of Exeter.
“What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this, carried out over time.
“Certain behaviours will show certain moods ( 情绪) in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos. For example, lions have a lot of facial expressions, and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind. This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets, feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept.”
Dr. Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre, and is now examining how the swans ( 天鹅) there might show their state of mind through their behavioural expression.
“We're looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat, which could show what they're feeling,” he said. “When they're unsure, they appear to move less and be more careful, and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies.”
The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos. “Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years, and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals,” Dr. Rose said.
32. What do the university researchers suggest
A. More studies on the welfare of zoo animals.
B. Closer observation of zoo animals' behaviours.
C. More attention to farm animals' body language.
D. Greater improvements of farm animals' welfare.
33. Why does the author mention lions
A. To show body language differs in different animals.
B. To show the uncertainty of animal body language.
C. To show lions change their expressions easily.
D. To show lions are treated badly in zoos.
34. What has Dr. Rose found about the swans
A. They have more facial expressions than lions.
B. They appear confident most of the time.
C. They move little in fearful situations.
D. They spend little time in their habitat.
35. What does Dr. Rose express in the last paragraph
A. Animal welfare in zoos is worrying.
B. Qualitative Behavioural Assessment is purposeful.
C. Farm animals enjoy greater welfare than zoo animals.
D. Zoos do a good job in recognising animal body language.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Cultures have nonverbal forms of communication, but there are still rules. Hand gestures add emphasis. Voice levels add to our communication. 36
Body language is not the same everywhere. The same body postures and gestures can have different meanings in different cultures. For example, holding your hand out, fingers together, and palm (手掌) facing outward means stop in North America. 37
Ojigi, or Japanese bowing, is used as a way to say hello, a way to say sorry, and a way to show respect. 38 Fifteen degrees is the common greeting bow for those you already know or who are on an equal social level. The highest respect bow is forty-five degrees and is used when you say sorry.
Other forms of nonverbal communication include clothing, hairstyles, and even how close we stand to one another. Proxemics is the study of the cultural use of space. 39 The use of color in one's physical space is an example of proxemics of physical territory. A health spa (休闲健身中心) is more likely to use cool greens and blues to create a relaxing environment. 40 This differs depending on the other person and the situation. For example, in the United States public space is between twelve to twenty-five feet. Intimate (亲密的) space is less than a foot. We may feel uncomfortable if any of these distances are reduced without an invitation.
A. In Greece, the same gesture is highly rude.
B. Personal space is between two and four feet.
C. Even silence can be a useful form of communication.
D. The degree of the bow shows the amount of respect.
E. This can be both someone's personal and physical territory.
F. It is not impolite to look the other person in the eye while bowing in Europe.
G. Personal territory refers to the space we keep between others and ourselves.

Even though the speaker's words expressed 51 in addressing the audience, his 52 messages said, “I don't want to be here.” Those same words showed that his speech was important to his 53 , but his body indicated that his message wasn't important to him. At the same time, his facial expression gave the appearance that he 54 very little about his audience.
None of these messages was performed consciously ( 有意识地); they were caused by simple nervousness and inexperience. Yet they marked this 55 speaker as insincere (不真诚), even though he was none of those things.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Not fair.” Wendi was rather angry. “You promised we could go to the climbing park.”
“But, it is going to rain, and the climbing park is outdoors.” Mum shook her head.
Wendi looked out of the window. “But it isn't raining, just clouds.”
“The weather lady says so, and she knows, rain in the afternoon,” Mum said.
“The weather lady must get it wrong,” Wendi complained in a low voice, but suddenly, the rain started. “Oh.” Wendi was surprised, looking up at the sky.
“We'll go to the climbing park another day.” Mum watched the rain.
“How does the weather lady know about the weather ” Wendi asked.
“Well, she has got a weather station, I think.” Mum was not sure.
“Grandpa might know. I'll ask him tomorrow,” Wendi said.
“We can build a little weather station in the garden if you like, Wendi,” Grandpa explained. “You'll need a wind vane (风向标) to see how the wind is blowing, and we can make it by ourselves. And we also need to prepare a rain gauge ( 雨量计) to measure how much rain has fallen. And, I've got a good thermometer (温度计) for outdoors.”
“A thermometer ... what is that ” Wendi asked.
Grandpa laughed. “A thermometer measures the temperature.”
“Thermometer.” Wendi was pleased with her new word.
“And last of all, we need a barometer (气压计). That's a big word, too, Wendi,” Grandpa explained. “A barometer tells us what the air pressure is. I've got one, too.”
“But what is air pressure ” Wendi asked.
“Well, if the air pressure changes, the weather will change,” Grandpa answered.
When everything was ready, Grandpa and Wendi got down to business, and soon a little garden weather station came into being.
Grandpa gave Wendi a list and said, “You have to keep a list of all the wind, rain and temperature changes. That's when you'll see how the weather is changing. And then you really will be a weathergirl.”
Rainy, Windy, Sunny, Snowy, Hot, Cold, Cloudy, Stormy, Very Windy ... Wendi painted many cards for all the things a weathergirl has to say.
Hearing the news, all Wendi's friends visited her garden weather station.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Wendi was a very good weathergirl until one icy cold winter day. ____________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After seeing this, Grandpa said to Wendi, “No weathergirl is always right, but it will snow soon, I am sure.”______________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节
One possible version:
Wendi was a very good weathergirl until one icy cold winter day. “When will it snow Wendi. We want to know,” asked her friends. That was the big question. It was very cold, and Wendi put up her Freeze card on the list. “Tomorrow, it will snow tomorrow.” Wendi was sure. But it didn't snow, not even one tiny snowflake. So they began to think that Wendi wasn't a weathergirl at all and refused to visit her garden weather station. Wendi felt very sad.
After seeing this, Grandpa said to Wendi, “No weathergirl is always right, but it will snow soon, I am sure.” And two days later, the snow fell. Wendi's friends were happy now. They went out and invited Wendi to make a big snowman with them. “Thank you, Wendi, weathergirl. We got our snow,” they said. Wendi smiled and wondered if she should tell her friends, who were having fun in the snow, that in a day or two it would get warmer, and then the snow would go.

B篇
主题语境:人与社会——社会服务
本文是记叙文。Marybeth Hearn几十年如一日训练导盲犬来帮助有视觉障碍的人群,影响了周围很多人。

25. C。推理判断题。根据第二段中的When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn't like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training可知,她的父亲最初对她的计划表示怀疑。
26. D。细节理解题。根据第四段中的Those that aren't up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals可知,未通过考核的狗将成为其他类别的服务犬。

C篇
主题语境:人与社会——人际沟通
本文是议论文。文章探讨了身势语是否真的能帮助我们解读人的内心活动。
28. D。细节理解题。由第一段中的Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin's study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).”可知,达尔文1872年的研究启发了科学家对身势语的现代研究。
29. B。推理判断题。由第四段中的I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication和the author of “Winning Body Language” ... focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures可知,Mark Bowden教授人们关于身势语的相关知识。
30. A。推理判断题。由第五段中的Joe Navarro is the author of ... a book about reading a person's mind from their nonverbal behavior、第六段的many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable以及最后一段中Matsumoto表达他的观点时所举的例子可知,Matsumoto对Navarro从一个人的身势语中解读其想法的方法持怀疑态度。
31. B。标题归纳题。文章首先介绍了关于身势语现代研究的方向,之后针对some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical areas列举了Mark Bowden和Joe Navarro的研究,最后又话锋一转,转述 David Matsumoto 的话,支持many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable这一看法。因此本文围绕着“身势语是否能够作为了解人内心活动的信号”这个话题展开讨论。B项中的tell important truths与文中的interpret, or understand和interpret hidden emotions等呼应。故B项符合本文主旨。
D篇
主题语境:人与自然——自然生态
本文是新闻报道。研究者发现仔细观察动物的身势语有助于提高动物园里动物的福祉。
32. B。细节理解题。根据第二段中的but closer observation of animal behaviour ... could show even more about their state of mind可知,这项新的研究建议动物园饲养员对动物观察得更细致些,这样可以更多地了解它们的情绪变化等,有助于提高其福祉。
33. A。推理判断题。根据第六段中的Certain behaviours will show certain moods in an animal, and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos可知,作者提到动物的某些行为会表现出它们的某些情绪,下文举狮子的例子说明了这一点。
34. C。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的When they're unsure, they appear to move less and be more careful, and draw their feathers close to their bodies可知,Dr. Rose发现天鹅感到不安时,会减少运动,同时会将羽毛贴紧身体。
35. B。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals可知,Dr. Rose认为定性行为评价(Qualitative Behavioural Assessment)有助于提高动物园动物的福祉,是很有意义的。
第二节
主题语境:人与社会——历史、社会与文化
本文是说明文。文章介绍了非言语交际。
36. C。C项与上文中的Hand gestures add emphasis. Voice levels add to our communication并列,说明了非口头交流通常代表的含义。
37. A。A项与上文中的For example, holding your hand out, fingers together, and palm facing outward means stop in North America形成对比,指出同一手势在北美和希腊的不同含义。
38. D。D项是对下文中的Fifteen degrees is the common greeting bow for those you already know or who are on an equal social level. The highest respect bow is fortyfive degrees and is used when you say sorry的概括,二者存在语义上的顺承关系,指出鞠躬的程度显示出对对方的尊敬程度。
39. E。E项中的This指代上文中的Proxemics,指出空间关系学的研究范畴。
40. G。上文中谈到空间关系学涵盖physical territory(物理空间)和personal territory(人际空间)两个方面。之后作者对physical territory进行了解释并举例说明。结合下文中的Intimate space is less than a foot ... without an invitation可知,本空应该是对personal territory进行解释,故G项符合语境。下文中的This指代G项中的Personal territory。
语言运用
第一节
主题语境:人与自我——生活
本文是说明文。身势语所传达的信息有时并不是你所看到的那样。
41. A。本空所在句承接上文内容,再根据本句中的he set down a pile of notes and took a long breath可知,在掌声中,缓缓走向舞台的演讲者“到达了(arrived)”(舞台中央),才能放下手里的笔记,深吸一口气。
42. C。由下文中的simple nervousness and inexperience可知,此处需要填一个能够形象地描述演讲者因紧张而深吸一口气的动词。故heard符合语境,说明这口气足够长,都能被观众听到。
43. C。本空所在句承接上文内容,继续描述该演讲者的身势语。由下文中的with a slight frown on his face和simple nervousness and inexperience可知,演讲者面带愁容地皱着眉头看着房间的后墙。故stared at(盯着)符合语境,说明该演讲者既紧张又毫无经验。
44. D。由下文中的Those same words showed that his speech was important可知,演讲者说他有一条“重要(importance)”信息告诉听众。
45. A。由下文中的his listeners和the audience可知,这里指“听众(audience)”当中有很多人已经坐立不安了。
46. B。本空所在句承接上文内容,继续描述听众的反应。由上文中的Many people ... were already fidgeting可知,很明显,这些人注意力已经不在演讲者身上,而在别处了。故obvious符合语境。
47. C。由上文描述听众的反应和下文解释这位演讲者失败的开场白可知,演讲才开始了10秒钟,就“已经(already)”结束了。
48. D。结合首段对演讲者身势语的描述和上文描述演讲才开始10秒钟就结束可知,一开始,这位演讲者给听众传递了一个具有两面性的信息,从而使自己“失败(failure)”。
49. B。由上文描述内容可知,听众看到的和他们听到的完全不一样。故选saw,与下文中的saw是原词复现关系。
50. B。由上文描述听众的反应可知,听众只愿意“相信(trusted)”他们所看到的。
51. C。由上文中的“It's a great pleasure to be here today,” he said可知,演讲者的话里表达的是高兴。此处是原词复现。
52. D。文章首段描述的是演讲者的身势语,故nonverbal(非言语交际的)符合语境。
53. D。由文中多次出现的audience可知,这里是指“听众”,listeners与audience是同义词复现关系。
54. A。由上文中的with a slight frown on his face和his body indicated that his message wasn't important to him可知,演讲者的面部表情给人以他并不“关心(cared)”听众的假象。
55. C。本段中的None of these messages was performed consciously; they were caused by simple nervousness and inexperience解释了该演讲者表现出上述身势语的原因。他本意并非如此,但结果却很糟糕,令他贴上了不真诚的标签。故unfortunate(不幸运的)符合语境。
第二节
主题语境:人与社会——人际沟通
本文是说明文。文章介绍了一些阿拉伯人的身势语。
56. nations。考查可数名词的复数。nation意为“国家”,是可数名词,根据设空处前的many可知,此处表示泛指,故填其复数形式nations。
57. be done。考查被动语态。设空处所在部分是一个由that引导的定语从句,该从句主语that(指代greeting)与动词do之间是被动关系,用被动语态,又因设空处前是can,故填be done。
58. helpful。考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语,修饰hand gestures,意为“有用的”,故填helpful。
59. patient。考查形容词作表语的用法。设空处作表语,意为“有耐心的”,故填patient。
60. worrying。考查固定句型。be worth doing sth. 值得做某事。该句型中,doing表示被动意义。
61. to。考查固定搭配。in addition to 除此以外。
62. includes。考查主谓一致。设空处所在句描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,又因主语是other body language,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式,故填includes。
63. which。考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,是对上文中的a quick movement of the head upward accompanied by a click of the tongue(伴随着舌头的咔哒声,头部快速向上抬起)的补充说明,设空处在从句中作主语,故填which。
64. usually。考查副词。设空处作状语,故填usually。
65. the。考查定冠词。根据语境可知,此处特指上文中提到的Arab culture,故填定冠词the。
