When we do not understand each other’s language, we can talk with the help of body language.
A Frenchman was once traveling in England. He couldn’t speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. He wanted to say, “Bring me something to eat.” The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came again with a cup of coffee and put it on the table. The man again refused his offer. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, because drinks are not food. When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hands on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.
So you see, we can understand the language of signs as well as we can understand the language of words.

17-year-old Mariella has dual (双) citizenship between the U.S. and the U.K.
At the start of COVID- 19, she happened to be in New York, and couldn’t leave due to travel restrictions.Getting up at dawn to go to online school back in England meant she had abundant time for her own use in the afternoons, then she began learning American Sign Language (ASL).The teen thought seeing an ASL interpreter in action might help her learnfaster ,but when she looked up movies and TV shows on streaming platforms, she discovered they didn’t use ASL interpreters.Mariella decided then and there to change that fact!
Seeking help from ASL teachers and the deaf community, she created Sign Up, an app that uses a simple Google Chrome extension.It adds an ASL interpreter to the corner of movies so people who are deaf can watch both
at the same time.
The teen decided to focus her efforts first on the Disney + platform because that’s what she believes children watch the most. “My sister and I were its crazy movie watchers when we were younger, and I couldn’t imagine that not being a part of our childhood,” Mariella said.
With over 1,000 users in less than two weeks, the response has been nothing short of that. “I didn’t think it would take off so much,” Mariella said. “I thought maybe a couple dozen people would use it, but I’ve had 20, 000 hits on my website and just so many shares and likes. It’s just blown up in ways I didn’t think it would.”
To cover her development and hiring costs, she has started a GoFundMe campaign, which has raised nearly $1 ,000 of its $10,000 goal. Mariella plans to expand the app to include as many of the international sign languages as possible. “My hope is that we’ ll have a lot more movies interpreted-it’ll be on every platform,” she said.
4 .What made Mariella learn ASL
A .Her dual citizenship. B .Her travel restrictions.
C .Her enough free time. D .Her need to study online.
5 .What do we know about Mariella
A .She was once a huge Disney fan. B .She suffered hearing loss as a kid.
C .She’s earned much from SignUp. D .She’s living in a deaf community.
6 .What does Mariella think of the SignUp users’ responses
A .Unreal. B .Unexpected.
C .Unreasonable. D .Unsatisfactory.
7 .Which word best describes Mariella as the SignUp developer
A .Cautious. B .Demanding. C .Honest. D .Ambitious.
C
Koko the gorilla knew over 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language, and used them to do everything from asking for food to joking around. Her trainer and long-term companion, Penny Patterson, thought Koko went further still, signing in novel ways and showing complex emotions. According to Ms Patterson, when a cat that Koko loved was killed in an accident, Koko signed: “Cat, cry, have-sorry, Koko-love.” When Koko died last month, some of her obituaries (讣告) mourned the gorilla who had “mastered American sign language.”
Then came the backlash, from linguists and experts in sign languages. Sign languages have complex grammars, equivalent to spoken tongues in expressiveness. Koko’s ability, it was pointed out, fell well short of a fluent human signer. Moreover, Ms Patterson was her interpreter, a role that invited the question of how much she was inferring what Koko “must have meant,” and explaining away random signs. It was hard to be sure: Ms Patterson preferred speaking to journalists over sharing her video and raw data about Koko with fellow researchers.
There is no doubt that animals communicate. Animals from one region can share sounds that differ from groups in another, leading researchers to talk of animal “dialects.” Then there are the remarkable achievements of Koko and her primate predecessors, including a chimp delightfully named Nim Chimpsky. Yet there is an important distinction between communication and language. Take the misleading term “body language.” It is sometimes claimed that words convey just 7% of meaning, and that body language and tone of voice do the rest. This wildly overstretches an old study which found that most emotional messaging — as opposed to the propositional kind — comes from tone and body language, especially when a neutral word such as “maybe” was used. But try conveying a fact like “It will rain on Tuesday” with your eyebrows, and the difference becomes clear. Language allows for clear statements, questions and commands.
Nim Chimpsky’s near-namesake, Noam Chomsky, has argued that people have a kind of “universal grammar”, and that all humankind’s languages are mere variations on a theme. Mr Chomsky has changed his mind repeatedly on what constitutes the core of human language, but one obvious candidate is syntax — rules, not just words, which allow the construction of a huge variety of meaningful utterances (所说的话). This capacity may even be infinite. Any statement in English, for example, can be made longer by adding “He said that …” at the beginning. This property is called recursion: a simple statement (“It’s cold”) is embedded in a more complicated one (“He said that it’s cold”). Human syntax also allows for hypotheticals (“If she hadn’t arrived …”), talking precisely about events
distant from the present, and so much more.
That gorillas lack syntax should not blind humans to their magnificence. But the fact that Koko could communicate should not mislead observers into thinking she possessed language.
8 .Which statement about KOKO the gorilla is true
A .Koko’s ability was similar to a fluent human signer.
B .Koko could ask for food using sign language.
C .Koko was able to show complex feelings using sign language.
D .Koko was killed in an accident.
9 .The underlined word in paragraph two is closest in meaning to “______.”
A .approval B .bias C .opposition D .evidence
10 .Linguists and sign language experts doubted Koko’s mastery of American sign language because ______.
A .Koko was not as expressive as a human signer
B .Koko seldom needed an interpreter
C .Koko was able to communicate with journalists
D .Koko failed to speak several animal “dialects”
11 .Which of the following statements would the author probably disagree with
A .Humans can express past events using language while apes cannot.
B .Tone and body language play a dominant role in human communication.
C .Words enable humans to convey clear meanings.
D .Gorillas are still magnificent in terms of their ability to communicate.
D
Humans are emotional beings, showing feelings in our behavior and facial expressions. But whether these mean the same thing in different cultures has been hotly debated. Now a new study has found that in different social contexts, such as weddings, funerals and sports, people indeed show universal facial expressions.
For the new study, Alan Cowen’s team used a machine learning model, Deep Neural Network (DNN), to systematically analyze facial expressions in thousands of different contexts. These contexts come from more than six million videos uploaded to You Tube between July 2009 and May 2018 by people in 144 countries.
Facial expressions were rated by English speakers in India by selecting applicable emotions from a list of 31 labels, resulting in a total of 16 distinct facial expressions. Meanwhile, contexts were classified in a separate experiment. The results showed that people from different cultures share about 70% of the facial expressions used in response to different social and emotional situations.
“This supports Darwin’s theory that expressing emotions in our faces is universal among humans,” the study
co-lead author Dacher Keltner said. “The physical display of our emotions may define who we are as a species,
enhancing our communication and cooperation skills and ensuring our survival.”
However, Lisa Barrett, from the Northeastern University College of Science notes that the English speakers in India were given the emotional word ratings rather than labeling the expressions themselves. They used emotion labels such as “anger”, “fear” and “sadness” instead of descriptive terms, thereby inferring the emotions behind the expressions.
She further comments that the raters (评定者) saw the faces in contexts which can’t necessarily be separated from the emotions themselves, and that the key point is that the raters are from just one country. “The ultimate value of Cowen and his colleagues’ study might lie not in the answers it provides,” she concludes, “but in the opportunity for further discovery that it opens up.”
12 .What can we learn from the text
A .The study is opposite to Darwin’s theory.
B .People in different cultures show similar facial expressions.
C .The team conducted the study by downloading facial expressions.
D .Facial expressions and contexts were classified in the same experiment.
13 .How did Alan Cowen’s team conduct the study
A .By using a learning machine.
B .By uploading videos to YouTube.
C .By analyzing facial expressions.
D .By using emotion labels.
14 .What can we infer from Dacher Keltner’s words
A .Social success is dependent on facial expressions.
B .Facial expressions have constantly changed over time.
C .Social skills reflect the ability of one’s expression management.
D .Facial expressions play a vital role in humans’ development.
15 .What is Lisa Barrett’s attitude towards the study
A .Objective. B .Ambiguous. C .Critical. D .Contradictory.

speaking together. If you are used to people keeping their ___26___, you will feel very uncomfortable, and probably ___27___ away repeatedly, if someone keeps trying to stand ___28___ to you at a party! We call this the “personal comfort zone” .
Another ___29___ example of misunderstanding is the use of a ___30___. In some Asian cultures, a smile can show embarrassment or apology.

46 .Dear Tom,
Hearing that you will come to China, I’d like to extend my warmest welcome.
Body language varies from culture to culture. For instance, when talking to the elderly in China, we usually look down to avoid eye contact as sign of respect. On the other hand, some gestures have the same meaning. We favour shaking hands, smiling or nodding the head to greet someone, just as you do.
I hope my introduction can be helpful to you. Wish you good journey.
Yours,
Li Hua

47.
Now Father’s Day was coming up. Recently, Sam always came home a little late after school every day.
His parents were also very curious but Sam always said with a smile, “He is studying for his exam.” It was a clear
morning, with clouds floating in a clear blue sky and birds singing softly as if celebrating the day’s special holiday: Father’s Day. Sam walked up to his father and said delightedly, “Happy Father‘s Day, Dad! I want to give you a gift!” So he took his father’s hand and walked together into his backyard.
“Oh no! I like this,” said his dad. When he saw everything in front of him, he was so surprised that
he stood there with his mouth wide open. Suddenly, Oscar knew what Sam had been up to these days. He had been preparing his precious Father’s Day gift, the tree house which was exactly what he had always wanted -- hackberry trees, and the other designs matched exactly what he had in mind. Oscar hugged his son Sam and whispered, “Thank you, my son!” “Dad, you have always been my favorite person and the smartest father in the world!” Sam said proudly. At that moment, Sam realized that being stubborn was not a good thing. What changed his stubbornness was the love and care of his family!
【导语】

②由第二段首句内容“哦,不!我喜欢这个。”可知,第二段可描写 Sam 的父亲尤其地感动,并且与 Sam 一起设计木屋。同时父子二人关系和好, 共同改善木屋, 并且让 Sam 明白的是, 自己的执拗是不对的, 是 家人的爱改变了他。
2.续写线索:父亲节——送礼物——父子和好——感悟
