Unit 4 Body Language
教材分析和教材重组
教材分析
本单元的中心话题是“身势语”,介绍了“身势语”的意义,“什么是身势语”,“如何理解身势语”以及“身势语的跨文化性”。通过本单元的学习,可以帮助了解学习身势语对语言学习者的重要性。本单元的语言技能训练和语言知识训练都是围绕“身势语”这一中心话题设计的。
Warming Up 让学生通过提示的句子用身势语将其意思表演出来,这部分的设计贴近学生,用表演的方式走进本单元的主题,形式活泼而又容易激发学生的学习兴趣,为本单元Reading部分的精彩故事做好了铺垫。
Pre-reading 通过三个问题使学生明白“身势语”的不可替代性,激发学生的阅读兴趣。
Reading 是一篇介绍性的文章,开头以一个接待员的身份观察来自不同国家的客人刚见面时对身势语的不同反应,从而引出文化不同而体态语不尽相同的中心话题,避免介绍文的枯燥,更益于学生接受。
Comprehending 共有2个练习,这2个练习的设置非常科学。练习1就课文内容提出八个问题,前五个是对文章的理解,后3个是就以上内容提出自己的看法,有利于学生理解能力的提高;练习2是开放性的设计,要求学生表演出针对不同国家的人问候时的身势语,为进一步了解异国文化做准备。
Learning about Language 分为两部分,Discovering useful words and expressions是本单元的词汇练习题; Discovering useful structures是本单元的语法练习题,通过本单元的学习,要求学生熟练掌握-ing形式作定语和状语的语法功能。
Using Language分为三部分,Reading, and writing部分要求学生通过阅读另一篇文章了解更多的身势语文化并就此写一篇作文评价积极的身势语和消极的身势语,从而吸取精华去其糟粕,弘扬积极的文化精神。Listening ,writing and speaking要求通过六幅图和听力内容说出故事中的体态语言,并用相关句型把它写出来,有利于学生写作能力的提高。第三部分speaking and writing 通过观察讨论林珮的体态语言,分析她的心态,并给她提出建议,这是由身势语引出的一个开放性写作。

Period 1: A sample lesson plan for reading
(COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?)
Aims
To develop reading ability
To learn something about body language
Procedures
I. Warming up
Warming up by acting
Look at the list of interpretation on the right side of the chart. Perform the action or the nonverbal behavior on the left side.
Examples of Body Language
Warming up by defining—What is body language?
The gestures, poses, movements, and expressions that a person uses to communicate. ●The outward signs of a person which indicate their inner thoughts or attitude. For example, a bowed head indicates submission, a hand over the mouth indicates the person doesn’t want to talk or feels their words aren’t worth listening to. Scratching indicates nervousness. A person passing another on the street might bow their head as a subconscious sign of submission.
Conscious or unconscious bodily movements and gestures that communicate to others a person’s attitudes and feelings. This may also include dress, facial features, skin colour or other personal means of communication without words.
communication via the movements or attitudes of the body
Body language is a broad term for several forms of communication using body movements or gestures, instead of, or as a complement to, sounds, verbal language, or other forms of communication. In turn, it is one category of paralanguage, which describes all forms of human communication that are not language.
II. Pre-reading
1. Looking and saying
Look at the man in the picture below. What does he say to you by his body language?
Basically, how the ...... do I know? Or, I don’t know nothing! The shoulders are hunched and the hands are open signifying a big question mark.
2. Talking and sharing
*Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! *According to experts, our non-verbal language communicates about 50% of what we really mean (voice tonality contributes 38%) while words themselves contribute a mere 7%. *Our bodies send out messages constantly and often we don’t recognize that we’re communicating a lot more than we realize.
*Our understanding and use of non-verbal cues in facial expression are familiar to us nearly from birth

Notes to some difficult sentences
1. Four people enter looking around in a curious way. 四个人进来了, 好奇地左顾右盼。
enter: vt. enter a room enter a school/college vi. enter into
本句中enter用作不及物动词, looking around in a curious way是现在分词短语作主句的伴随状语。Many people come to theme parks, looking for thrills and entertainment.
2. The first person who arrives is Mr. Garcia from Columbia, closely followed by Julia from Britain.
第一个到的是来自哥伦比亚的Garcia先生,紧跟在他后面的是来自英国的Julia.
who arrives是定语从句修饰主语the first person,closely followed by Julia from Britain是过去分词短语作主句的伴随状语。动词follow与Mr. Garcia构成逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作状语。
3. Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable touching strangers or being too close or too far away.
各种文化背景下的人相互问候的方式不尽相同,接触陌生人、彼此靠得太近或距离太远,都会使他们感到不舒服。
句中not all cultures greet each other the same way是部分否定句,相当与all cultures don’t greet each other the same way。
nor、neither置于句首,句子用部分倒装,即把助动词或系动词放到主语前面。
—Do you know Jim quarreled with his brother?
—I don’t know, nor do I care.
touching strangers or being too close or too far away是现在分词短语作状语。
4. People from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. 来自诸如西班牙、意大利或南美国家的人们彼此站得很近,更易于触摸对方。
句中closely相当于close,作副词,英语中有许多形容词本身可以作副词,后面加-ly表抽象意义,如:
wide adj. adv.(宽广) widely adv.(广泛地)
deep adj. adv.(深) deeply adv.(深深地)
high adj. adv.(高,位置高) highly adv.(高度地)
low adj. adv.(低) lowly adv.(谦卑地)
close adj. adv.(近) closely adv.(密切地)
短语be likely to do sth. 有可能做某事

【答案及解析】
【高考链接】
1.B 句意:认真阅读药瓶上的说明并按剂量要求服用。A项explanation: a statement fact or situation that tells you why sth. happened解释。B项instructions: giving detailed information on how to do or use说明。C项description : writing or speech telling what sth. is like描述。D项introductions: to make one person know another one介绍。故选B。
2.B at this time tomorrow指的是将来的某一具体时间正发生的事情,故用将来进行时。
3.B exhausted 筋疲力尽的,过去分词转化来的形容词作伴随状语。
4.B 过去分词短语作状语。此题先确定主句主语与非谓语动词之间是被动关系,排除A、C;B项相当与状语从句When these products were first introduced to the market, …。D项不符合逻辑。
5.B 现在分词的完成式作时间状语,意为先表明不同意,然后离开会议室。A的时态不当。C中made虽可理解为句中的谓语动词,但与主语之间不能有逗号隔开。D的making则表示与left几乎同时发生,而B用分词的完成式强调动作先于left,故选B。
6. B 本句意为:我们看到几个当地人向我们走来,其中一个来到我们面前,我们给他一些铃铛和眼镜。此题考查的是定语从句,其先行词为one of them,指人且在从句中作宾语,介词前提并指人时应该用whom。故选B。
7. D 本题考查倒装用法。根据前文never的使用,排除A、B项。C项中虽是否定形式,但too使用不当,因此排除C。当表示一种否定形式适合另一种时,通常用以下形式表达:1)neither/nor+助动词/系动词/情态动词+主语;2)It is/was +the same with+主语;3)so it is/was with+主语;4)主+否定句,either.
8. A 根据句意,前后两种情况相同时,应用so引导的部分倒装句,排除B、C。又因为是“昨天”,应用过去式,排除D。故选A。
9. B exactly用于应答“正是,一点不错”。A项“行,好吧”,用于肯定回答。C项用于催促对方,“请,先请”。 D 项用于回答How are you?指身体很好。这三项不合题意。
10. A come on 在这里是“得了吧”的意思。选项B是道歉。选项D是接道歉的话。
【巩固练习】
1. C 一场势均力敌的比赛。此处closely修饰过去分词fought。又如a closely contested election 实力相差无几的竞选。
2. D 你们都是新来的,尽量不要与陌生人接触。Approach可数名词,与to连用时,意为:an act of speaking to someone (about something) for the first time(初次跟人)打交道,接触。又:We make approaches to them with a view to forming a business partnership. connection 名词,连接。
3. C 此处考查emotion和feeling的区别。feeling本题表“感觉”,feelings“感情”。
4. D 系表结构get close to 接近,靠近。
5. D without doing sth. 介词短语作伴随状语,doing在介词without后是动名词,故接不定式。
6. D save sb. sth. 使某人免遭……。avoid sth. avoid doing sth.避免,逃避作某事。
7. B seeing their national flag being raised这是一个现在分词短语在句中作动词stood的伴随状语。“国旗正在被升起”,故national flag 这一宾语的补足语是being raised。
8. C 现在分词短语作结果状语。分词与主句的主语之间为逻辑上的主动关系,排除A、D两项。B在时间顺序上有误。
9. B 句意:为了避免受到惩罚,他为他的失败编了个借口。avoid sth/doing sth. 此处表示被动意义,故用avoid being done的形式。
10. D so what: [口] 那有什么了不起?那又怎样?what if:[口] 1) 如果……怎么样?如:What if we go and see a film tomorrow night?2)如果……将会怎样(用于问将会发生什么,通常是令人不快或惊恐的事),如:What if we get burgled while we’re on holiday?
【汉译英】
1. Our approach frightened the birds away.
2. Young children often have difficulty expressing themselves.
3. Your remarks just now are likely to offend her.
4. This booklet tells you how to avoid getting ill while traveling.
5. Standing on the top of the hill, you can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city.

The importance of body language People cannot live without each other, we are social beings. As soon as we are in contact with others we are communicating. For this we can make use of spoken and written language. In these ways we make the content of a message clear to each other. However we can also communicate without words. This kind of communication tells us something about the relationship between people. Often this is more important than getting the content of the message across. The communication about this non spoken communication, which tells us something about the relationship between people, is called Meta-Communication. Communicating about communication!

Ⅲ. 教材分析和教材重组
1. 教材分析
本单元以Body Language——“体态语”为中心话题,具体涉及什么是“体态语”,如何理解“体态语”,以及“体态语”的跨文化性等。本单元的语言技能和语言知识也都是围绕“体态语”这一中心话题设计的,旨在通过单元教学,用听、说、读、写、做(表演)等多种形式,让学生正确认识和掌握“体态语”在交际中的作用和意义,使学生明确“体态语”在人类交际中的重要性,了解“体态语”在不同民族、不同文化交际中的多样性;使学生在今后的日常生活、学习、工作和交往中尽量减少或避免运用“体态语”时可能产生的误解,提高他们的“语言交际”能力和“非语言交际”能力。
1.1 WARMING UP 以列表对比(填充及增补)的形式,并通过WARMING UP的活动,让学生了解有声语言与“体态语”的对应关系,了解语言意义与行为意义(“体态语”)在交际中具有同等重要的作用。同时,学生在听、说、做(即表演“体态语”的动作)中能够增进对语言交际的感性认识,为他们在阅读过程中上升到对语言交际的理性认识打下基础。
1.2 PRE-READING 通过提供三个关于不同文化背景下“体态语”的问题,启发学生思考我们所学习的“语言”的目的、形式、功能。通过引导学生联系自己日常生活的实际,提高学生努力学习英语的积极性和自觉性;同时培养学生留心社会、关注生活的洞察力,为引导学生进一步“阅读”作好准备。
1.3 READING 是一篇介绍性(记叙文)体裁的文章,主要介绍了各种文化背景下的“体态语”的异同,为学生提供了来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的“体态语”及其在交际中的异同和影响的具体例证。学生也可以结合自己在语言交际中所遇到的实际例子来进一步理解“交际,毫无问题可言吗?”这一主题。
1.4 COMPREHENDING 包括八个问题(前5个旨在检查学生对阅读材料细节的理解,6~7旨在引导学生对“体态语”的意义及文化差异的思考,第8个检查学生能否通过细节进行推理判断),通过对来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的六个角色对待男女不同性别所使用的“体态语”异同的(学生在老师指导下的自我或小组讨论后的)归纳,进一步熟悉和掌握“体态语”在不同语言文化交际中的作用和意义。
1.5 LEARNING ABOUT LANGUAGE 分词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分由“本单元重点词汇英文释义”,“词语填空”和“词性变换”三项内容构成,语法部分由两大方面组成:一是让学生自己通过在课文中寻找相关语法的句子并按其语法功能分类,二是根据学生的认知规律安排该语法项目的练习让学生进行操练。整个项目通过三个练习和一个游戏,以及语法结构讲练,进一步巩固本单元所学词汇(尤其是课文中的黑体字),学习“现在分词”结构用作定语和状语,并通过操练,以收到“学以致用”、“熟练生巧”的效果。
1.6 USING LANGUAGE 通过增加阅读篇目“Showing Our Feelings”来拓展学生在“体态语”方面的知识视野,并通过“True” or “False”判断练习和问题讨论,使学生进一步明确“体态语”对人们在日常交际中了解对方情感、思想、态度等方面所起的作用。同时要让学生认真对待自己的“体态语”,并在日常交际中“听其言”(Listen to them)、“观其行”(Watch them)。此外,该部分还通过听、说、读、写四个方面来巩固本单元所学内容和语言交际项目。
1.7 SUMMING UP 师生从话题、词汇和结构三个方面来共同总结本单元所学的单词和短语,语言及语法项目,总结本单元所学的主要内容和收获。
1.8 LEARNING TIPS 建议学生关注实用交际技巧,学会“体态语”;建议学生在看英语电影时或与以英语为母语的人士交谈时,观察对方面部表情和体态姿势,观察对方的“言”、“行”,进而形成有效的口笔头语言及“体态语”的交际能力。
2. 教材重组
2.1 听力:Using language中的Listening, Workbook中的Listening和Listening Task这三部分的任务及话题较为接近,将这三个部分整合在一起上一堂听力课。
2.2 口语:Warming up, Using language中的Reading and Talking, Speaking和Workbook中的Talking,Speaking Task以及Learning about language中的Discovering useful words and expressions 4, “Play a game in group of four”均紧扣本单元话题,同时涉及到本单元的功能句,教师可指导学生通过“说”(用英语发出与“体态语”相关的指令)与“做”(用“体态语”表达指令)结合来进行口语训练,这将是一节生动有趣的口语课。
2.3 精读:把Pre-reading,Reading和Comprehending三部分整合为一节阅读课。
2.4 泛读:把Using Language中的Reading和Workbook中的Reading Task整合为一节拓展学生视野的泛读课。
2.5 语言学习:深入处理Learning about language中的Discovering useful words and expressions, Discovering useful structures; Workbook中的Using Words and Expressions和Using Structures。重点学习Discovering useful structures中“-ing (现在分词)”在句中做定语和状语的用法。
2.6 语言运用:处理Using Language中的Reading and Writing和Workbook中的Writing Task。指导学生写一篇有关“The Body Language I Know”短文,反映其在不同文化背景、不同语言环境中的运用情况,及所造成的理解上的困难、障碍甚至误解等。

Step I Lead-in
The teacher shows some pictures on screen. These pictures are from the Evening Party Celebrating the coming Lunar New Year of the Rooster of 2005.

Ss: Yes, Thousands of Hands Kwan-yin.

T: But do you know who she is? Yes, she was the leading dancer of the program. Her name is Tai Lihua(邰丽华). She is called a Fairy of Peach blossom(桃花仙子) by people. You know she is a deaf girl, but she is a wise, diligent, charming and energetic girl. She studied very hard and got two degrees of bachelors in university. She was famous as an artist for her wonderful performance. She is deaf and dumb. But how did she get that great achievement and became a successful person? She loves life very much. We should learn from her spirit. Besides her hard working, body language plays a very important part in her life. We are all healthy people, sometimes we can use body language to express ourselves. So we should pay more attention to learning body languages.
Step II Introduction
T: Now let’s do some TPR (Total Physical Response) activities together, I hope you will enjoy them and have fun as well.
Touch your head / face / eyes / nose / mouth / ears / cheeks / forehead / shoulders / stomach / legs / feet / toes ...
Shake your head / arm / hand ...
Wave your arm / hand ...
Open your eyes / arms /mouth ...
Close your eyes / mouth ...
Twist your wrist / waist.
Cross your arms / fingers.
Nod your head. Bow your head.
Make a face to each other.
Bend / cry / shout / scream / smile / laugh ...
T: All right. Now let’s do them a little bit difficult. Let’s play a game together. Those who fail to follow the rule of the game will be dropped out. The game is: “Simon says”. For example, if I say “Simon says, touch your head”, then you touch your head. If not, you shouldn’t touch your head but remain still. Clear? Ready? Now let’s start.
3 or 5 minutes for the game.
T: Ok. It’s time to take up the lesson. Please look at the screen. Let’s take a look at the following gestures:
Gesture
Action
Meaning
A handshake
You are welcome.
A clap of hand
Come on; be cheerful.
A V-shape of the fore-finger and middle finger
May you succeed!
Or congratulations on your success!
A half-closed hand with thumb down
I am not in favor of your idea or I’ll have to refuse you.
A wrinkling of the brow in thought or displeasure or a scowl
She is worried.
Tears coming out of his eyes.
He is very sad.
All smiles on her face
She is very happy.
Waving their hands
They are waving goodbye to people around.
A hand stretched out forward with strength
He is stopping a tank.
People jump with their both hands stretched open in the air.
They are cheering for the victory.
T: What are the actions of the above gestures? What do they mean?
S4: The first gesture is a handshake, which means “You’re welcome”.
S5: The second is a handclap, which means “Come on” or “Be cheerful” or something like that.
S6: The third one is a V-shaped posture of the first finger and the middle finger, which suggests a wish for the other or others to succeed.
S7: The fourth is a half-closed hand with the thumb down. It means the one who gives this gesture is against the other’s idea or simply refuses the request.
S8: The fifth is a worried look of a woman. She wrinkles her brows or frowns. It also seems that she scowls. It shows that she is worried or sad. In other words, she is unhappy.
S9: The sixth is a man shedding tears. Tears were running down his cheeks. He is very sad for losing his relatives or sad for his failure.
S10: The seventh is a smiling face. It is easy to see that she is very happy.
S11: The eighth is a gesture of waving hands. They are waving goodbye to people who are around to see them off.
S12: The ninth is a hand stretched out forward with great strength. The boy is trying to stop a tank from entering into his homeland.
S13: The tenth is hands stretched out upward. They are all very cheerful. They are wild with joy; maybe they have just won a game. So we can see that they are cheering for their victory.
T: You have all done a good job. So you see that there are many cases or situations in which body language can convey meanings as well as spoken or written languages. If you want to know more about it, let’s come to Unit 4 Body Language.
Step Ⅲ Practice
T: Look at Page 25.

What are these people communicating?
Step Ⅳ Time for Fun
T: Now let’s play a game in groups of four. One thinks of a situation and asks the others to show some actions using body language. When the one chooses the action that is most likely, it is his or her turn to think of some other situation for the others to show the actions so that the game may go on for a few rounds. Clear?
Ss: Yes. That’s funny!
T: Try to make the situations as interesting and enjoyable as you can. And show the situation as lively as possible. Besides, make sure that everyone has a turn.
Ss: All right.
S1: What are you likely to do if it rains?
(Actions) S2: reads a book;
S3: puts on a raincoat;
S4: cleans the house.
S1: Ok. I think S3 seems the most likely, so it is his turn.
S3: What are you likely to do if the river floods?
(Actions) S1: runs away as fast as he can;
S2: helps the younger or elder to escape as soon as possible;
S4: climbs on to a tree.
S3: Ok. I think S2 seems the most likely, so it is her turn.
S2: What are you likely to do if the house catches fire?
(Actions) S1: fetches some water;
S3: tries to put it out with blooms;
S4: runs away as quickly as he can.
S2: Ok. I think S4 seems the most likely, so it is his turn.

(Actions) S1: remains where he is and bends down, looking at the dog;
S3: tries to scare it away with small stones;
S4: runs away as quickly as possible.
S2: Ok. I think S1 seems the most likely, so we all have done a good job.
T: Yes. I couldn’t agree with you. Now, one more group.
Step V Role Play (Speaking task on P67)
T: Now, there’s still a little time left. Let’s come to Speaking Task on Page 67.

Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式
StepⅠ Revision
Free talk about the topic: the Importance of Body Language. While the student on duty gives the presentation, the teacher can simultaneously approve his or her performance by using the body language learned or familiar to the students such as nodding the head, stretching out the hand with thumb up, shrugging the shoulders, etc.
Step Ⅱ Pre-reading
T: Our text is about a special means of communication—Body Language. Now please look at the screen. And discuss these questions with your partner first. And then some of you will be asked to report your work. Are you clear?
Ss: Yes, sir/madam.
1. What is the purpose of language?
2. How can you tell if someone is sad even if they do not speak?
3. What would you do if you need the other’s help urgently while you two speak different languages?
4. Give an example of how you can communicate a feeling to someone who does not speak your language.
After a few minutes.
T: Now who’d like to answer the first question? Volunteer! S1: Let me try. The purpose of language, of course, is to be used as a tool of communication. That is, to exchange with others ideas, feelings, information, and so on.
T: Perfect! Body language is used anytime and anywhere to convey people’s ideas, feelings, information, and so on and so forth. Next question?
S2: Even if they don’t speak, I can tell if they are sad by
looking at their facial expressions. I’m a good mind-reader. (Smiling)
S3: Yes, that is quite easy. Just by watching their frowned brows, their long faces, we know that they are unhappy.
T: Very good. We have got two “mind readers” in our class; I’m sure there are more than two! Now who’d like to give the answer to the third question?
S4: Let me try, Sir / Madam. I’ll try to use body language to tell the other what I need urgently. I’ll do it by miming, by any proper posture, or gestures, even by drawing pictures.
T: You are smart! Now who’d like to do the last one. It is more challenging, right?
S5: I’d like to have a try, sir. Last summer I went on a study tour in the States. When I was on the way to
Los Angeles on the flight of the United Airlines, we stopped at Tokyo / Narita Airport in Japan for 3 hours. So I went into the shop at the airport, for I wanted to buy a digital camera. Of course I knew no Japanese, so I spoke to her in Chinese first and then in English. It seemed that she was at a loss when I spoke to her. Then I decided to try it in body language. I just pointed to the camera that I like most-Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100. The salesgirl spoke to me in Japanese this time but I couldn’t understand a word of it. So I shook my head and kept pointing at the camera. Finally I reached her understanding and she took out the camera I wanted to buy. I examined it for a little while and asked her the price of it by drawing a big “?” in the air with my forefinger. She took out her calculator and put in the price. The price was reasonable and I decided to take it. I paid for it and the salesgirl bowed to me again and again.
T: Wonderful! Thank you for telling us so interesting a true story and giving us so good an example of body language.
Step Ⅲ While-reading
1. Scanning
While reading, please try to divide the whole passage into several parts and find out the main idea.
Part 1 Para 1
You are sent to Capital International Airport to meet this year’s international students.
Part 2 (para. 2 and 3 )
Examples of learned or cultural “body language”.
Part 3. (para. 4 )
Different peoples have different body languages.
Part 4. (para. 5)
Summary of body language.
Read the text carefully, then decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
Englishmen often stand close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet.
Most people around the world now greet each other by kissing .
Japanese will bow to others as greeting.
People from Jordan will move very close to you as you introduce yourself to them.
Some body languages in some countries are good while some countries’ body language are bad.
Step IV Post reading
1. Is the author of this passage male or female? How do you know ?
The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author.
2.What were the two mistakes that the author noticed?
He noticed that the Colombian man kissed the British woman, but in her culture, a kiss from a stranger is not acceptable. He also noticed that the Japanese man bowed just as the Canadian man started to shake hands, so one man’s nose touched the other man’s hand.
3. Who seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others? Who seemed to prefer closer physical distance ?
The British woman, Julia, and probably the Canadian man, George, seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others. The Colombian man, Tony, and the Jordanian man, Ahmed, seemed to prefer closer physical distance .
4. Did any students have similar greeting customs? If so, which ones?
Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene from France had a similar greeting custom-a kiss. George from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a similar greeting custom-a handshake, but Ahmed shakes hands only with men.
5. “ When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” What do you think this famous saying means?
This saying means that when we are in a certain place, we should follow the customs of the people who live in that place, not our own customs.
6. Do you agree with the author’s statement that body language is not good or bad? Why or why not?
Students will give their own answers.

3 Further reading
T: We have just read a passage entitled “Showing Our Feelings”, which tells us more about body language. Now let’s read another passage in the Workbook on P66. The title of the reading text is: The Open Hand - A Universal Sign. You will be given 3 minutes to read through the text as quickly as you can, trying to get as much information from the text as possible.
Ss: Yes, Sir.
T: What information have you got?
S1: More about body language, sir. We have learned how people are communicating or getting along with each other besides using spoken language. We are also asked to think about some new situations in which we will communicate in body language.
S2: And we have to think about the following questions: It is known that a smile is a sign that people feel friendly and happy. But we have to consider: 1. What if we don’t know who the new person is? 2. What if we are not introduced by a friend? 3. What if we are meeting a stranger in an unfamiliar place?
S3: And the most important of all is that we have to make
sure whether we can trust people we do not know, and we have to show that we are not dangerous.
S4: Quite true. We have different ways to show our hands —our open hands, which means that we are not armed and we are friendly.
S5: In many cultures today, the Western custom of the handshake is used. Besides this, traditionally, Chinese greet others by covering the left hand with the right hand and bowing; the Japanese cover on hand with the other and bow slightly or quite low, depending on whom they greeted; Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads; Muslims will touch their heart, mouth and forehead to show respect.
S6: Now young people in the West give each other the “high five” when they clap each other’s hands in the air.
S7: You have taken the words out of my mouth. And I believe that in almost all cultures, to smile and show an open right hand is the most common way to show the goodwill greeting.
T: I am more than happy to hear you can get so much information from the passage when you do the reading! Now let’s act out some of the gestures in the reading material, OK?
Some students are asked to act out the body language which appears in the reading text is: The Open Hand - A Universal Sign, such as a handshake, the traditional greetings in China, the Japanese way to greet people, the ways Hindu people and Muslims use to greet people, and the way young people in the West use now.
Several minutes later.
T: Before we come to the end of this period, let’s take up the last item, doing the arrangement of the information under the passage on Page 67.
S8: It can be dangerous to meet people you do not know.
S9: Many Asian people do not usually physically touch strangers.
S10: If we show an open hand, it means that we are not holding anything dangerous.
S11: The right hand is usually used because it is almost the stronger.
S12: People shake their hands when meeting to show that they can be trusted.
S13: To show respect, people will touch their heart and mouth when greeting someone.
Homework
1. Read aloud all the reading texts in this unit.
2. Get ready to retell the two reading passages learnt in this period.
The Fourth Period Grammar
Structure Study
一: V-ing 形式由 “do+ing” 构成, 其否定形式是 “not doing”, V-ing 可以带宾语或状语构成 V-ing 短语, 没有人称和数的变化, 但有时态和语态的变化。
V-ing 形式在句中作定语和状语是本单元的学习重点。
1. 作定语
V-ing 形式可以单独充当名词的前置修饰语, 这时有两种情况。
-ing形式表示 “供作......之用”的意思, 这类作定语的-ing形式过去叫动名词。
A swimming pool
= a pool for swimming
2) -ing形式表示 “......的” 意思, 过去叫现在分词
A sleeping child
working people
the rising sun
-ing形式短语作定语时一般放在它所修饰的名词之后, 相当于一个定语从句。如:
They are visitors coming from several countries.
The boy standing there is a classmate of mine.
2. 作状语
可以表示时间, 原因, 结果,条件, 行为方式或伴随动作等。
Attention Please
-ing形式作状语时, 它的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语是一致的。
Time permitting, I will pay a visit to the whole city.
 (分词的逻辑主语是time , 而句子的主语是I , 两者不构成主谓关系, 所以只能用独立主格结构, 也就是给现在分词补充一个主语。)

to thumb one’s nose 以大拇指按鼻,其余四指张开,表示轻视。在英美等国家,你会看到这种手势经常用在调皮的孩子们中间。他们用大拇指点着自己的鼻子,而其他四指张开不停地摇动,表示轻蔑或嘲弄。也可以说“to cock a snook at somebody”.
to twiddle one’s thumbs 无聊地绕动着两个大拇指,表示无所事事,懒散。
thumbs down 大拇指朝下,表示反对或拒绝。
thumbs up 翘起大拇指,表示赞成或夸奖。
但值得一提的是在英美等西方国家,有时会看到有人站在马路边,朝驶过来的车辆伸出一只翘起大拇指的拳头。这是请求搭便车的意思。所以搭车也可以说“to thumb a lift”。
2. Introduction of a book about body language of horses:
Horses communicate with remarkable accuracy in a language of posture, gesture and sound. They express their needs, wishes and emotions to each other and to the rare human being who understands them. After reading this unprecedented (空前的), exciting and up-lifting book, you will understand the equine (horse’s) language. You therefore will know how to recognize:
A happy horse. A frightened horse. An angry horse. A bored horse. A grieving (令人忧伤的) horse. A frustrated (受挫折的) horse. A horse in pain. A playful horse. A proud horse. An eagerly competitive horse. And many horses more!
Moreover, you will know how to reassure the frightened, calm the angry, comfort the grieving, divert (使解闷)the bored-and deal with most other human-equine difficulties. You will know how to educate a foal (驹) or rehabilitate (挽救) a rogue (无赖). You will know how to look at race horses on their way to the starting gate and tell the likely winners from the losers.
You even will know how to buy a horse.
But best of all, you will finally understand what these grand animals are all about, and you will know better than ever before how they (and we) fit into nature’s scheme (plan)of things.
3. An extra reading passage about Body language:
When we communicate with other people it is not only our words that contain the meaning. An important part of that meaning comes from what is called “non-verbal (非言辞的) communication”. By this we mean facial expression; gestures with hands, arms, legs; the way we sit or stand; the way we touch other people; the distance we keep between ourselves and the people we are talking to; our dress and our appearance. All these say something to other people.
Facial expressions and gestures are used by everyone often spontaneously (自发地), even unconsciously. Smiling, for example, is found in most cultures as a sign of happiness or pleasure. Gestures such as pointing, waving, shaking or nodding the head are also widely used, although the gestures themselves do not always mean the same in every culture. I once asked a Portuguese student why bank officials in Lisbon seemed so dour (gloomy)-sorry Lisbon bank clerks, but it’s true-and he told me that if they smiled too much they would not seem serious about their work.
Because many non-verbal messages are “culture specific (special, distinctive, or unique)”, they can cause a lot of misunderstanding between people from different backgrounds. Northern Europeans and Americans, for example, like to keep a certain “personal space” between themselves and others and feel uncomfortable if people come too close to them. In these same cultures it is considered impolite to stare, but Greeks, it is said, feel ignored if people do not stare at them in public. Europeans usually change their facial expression to show happiness, anger, boredom, and sadness.
4. Some information about the countries maybe less known to students in the Text:
① Columbia:
Colombia is located in the northwest part of South America, and is the only country on South America with coasts on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The most distinguishing feature (显著的特点)of the country is the Andes Mountains chain, which is in the central western part of the country and extends almost its entire length, north and south.
In contrast to snow-capped mountains are the rain forests, located in the torrid (热带的) lowlands of Colombia, where the animal life and vegetation make it a unique place in the world. The country is rich in minerals and natural resources, and although known for its splendid coffee, it is also a major source of the world’s emeralds (绿宝石) and flowers. Mahogany (桃花心木), oak, walnut, and pine trees are also plentiful, as are plants such as rubber, vanilla (香草), and ginger. Agriculture is an important part of the Colombian economy.
Colombia has a diverse population, although over half are of Spanish descent (血统). The heritage of the Spanish colonial period is still very well preserved in many areas, where family life and dress still hold to traditional norms. However, cultures vary greatly from region to region, each adding to the country’s variety.
One of the world’s most noted authors, Literature Nobel Prize winner, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, is a native of Colombia.
The largest cities in Colombia are Santafe de Bogota (the capital city), Cali, Medellin, and Barranquilla.
② Jordan:
Jordan, officially Hashemite (哈桑王族) Kingdom of Jordan, with an area of 37,737 sq ms (97,740 sq kms) and a population of 4,101,000 (estimated in 1995), is located in the southwest Asia, bordered by Israel (W), Syria (N), Iraq (NE), and Saudi Arabia (E, S). Amman is the capital and largest city.
Before 1967 Jordan fell into three main geographical regions: East Jordan, which includes about 92% of the country’s land area, the Jordanian Highlands (highest point, 5,755 ft/1,754 m), and West Jordan (the West Bank, part of historic Palestine. In the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, Israel captured and occupied the West Bank, and Jordan has since given up its claim to the area).
Jordan’s economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, although less than 5% of the land is arable (适于耕种的). The principal crops are vegetables, wheat, and citrus (柑橘类) fruits; olives are grown for oil. Manufactures are limited to such items as foodstuffs, clothing, and cement, and there is some oil refining. Phosphate (磷酸盐) rock and potash (碳酸钾) are the only minerals produced in quantity.
The annual cost of Jordan’s imports far exceeds its earnings from exports. Aqaba (亚喀巴), on the Gulf of Aqaba, is the only seaport. The inhabitants of Jordan are mostly of Arab descent (over half are of Palestinian descent), and Arabic is the official language, although English is also spoken among the higher socio-economic groups. About 95% of the people are Sunni (逊尼派) Muslims.
Under the 1952 constitution (宪法), the king is the most powerful figure in the country; he appoints a cabinet (headed by a prime minister). The bicameral (两院制的) parliament has been convened and dissolved by the king several times since 1974; the 1989 elections were the first in 22 years. Political parties were again permitted to field candidates in 1993.
③ Muslim countries:
Most people in the West think of Muslim or Moslem countries, where people believe in Islam, a monotheistic (一神论的) religion characterized by the acceptance of the doctrine of submission to God and Mohammed (穆罕默德) as the chief and last prophet (先知)of God, as a Middle Eastern religion. Nevertheless, Islam is clearly a South Asian, South East Asian, Central Asian, African, and Middle Eastern religion, with a growing presence in Europe and North America.
There are about 40 Muslim countries in the world, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Kuwait, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen and so on and so forth. People in these countries mostly believe in Islam.
The name for the religion of Islam, as its publicity (宣传) goes, is much more than just a name, because it expresses a deep spiritual meaning as well as an overall outlook on life and concept of worship. The word “Islam” is an Arabic word which means “complete submission(服从) to the will of Almighty God”. Other religions are named after their founders, such as Christianity and Buddhism; after a tribe or ethnic group, such as Judaism (犹太教); or after a specific geographical region, such as Hinduism (印度教). Islam, however, is unique because its name represents its outlook on life and reflects its universal nature. Besides, the name “Islam” was not thought up by its followers or applied by other people, as is the case with the names of other religions, but was revealed (显示) by Almighty God. This name expressed nothing new, because submission to the will of God, i.e. “Islam”, has always been the true religion of God. Due to this fact, and since the teachings of Islam are straightforward, profound and logical, Islam is the “Natural Religion” of all human beings. The name of no other religion carries any significant message, or conveys the true sense of its outlook on life, as does the name “Islam”.

Warming up by defining—What is body language?
The gestures, poses, movements, and expressions that a person uses to communicate. ●The outward signs of a person which indicates their inner thoughts or attitude. For example, a bowed head indicates submission, a hand over the mouth indicates the person doesn't want to talk or feels their words aren't worth listening to. Scratching indicates nervousness. A person passing another on the street might bow their head as a subconscious sign of submission.
Conscious or unconscious bodily movements and gestures that communicate to others a person's attitudes and feelings. This may also include dress, facial features, skin colour or other personal means of communication without words.
communication via the movements or attitudes of the body
Body language is a broad term for several forms of communication using body movements or gestures, instead of, or as a complement to, sounds, verbal language, or other forms of communication. In turn, it is one category of paralanguage, which describes all forms of human communication that are not language.
II. Pre-reading
Looking and saying
Look at the man in the picture below. What does he say to you by his body language?
Basically, how the ...... do I know? Or, I don’t know nothin! The shoulders are hunched and the hands are open signifying a big question mark.
Talking and sharing
Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! According to experts, our non-verbal language communicates about 50% of what we really mean (voice tonality contributes 38%) while words themselves contribute a mere 7%. Our bodies send out messages constantly and often we don't recognize that we're communicating a lot more than we realize.
Our understanding and use of non-verbal cues in facial expression are familiar to us nearly from birth

Turn to page 29. Do exercises No. 1 and 2。
III. Ready used materials for The ~ing form as the Attribute & Adverbial
... When we use a verb in -ing form more like a verb or an adjective, it is usually a present participle:. Anthony is fishing. I have a boring teacher. In this lesson, we will look at the use of verbs in the ~ing form ...
The ~ing form 作定语
现在分词可以单独作定语,也可以构成合成词作定语,但在更多的情况下是分词短语作定语,包括限定性和非限定性(用逗号与其他部分分开),在意义上相当于一个定语从句。现在分词作定语通常带有主动意义和未完成意义。例如: ????The man following was obviously in a hurry。(现在分词单独作定语) ????They acted just like a conquering army。(现在分词单独作定语) ????Do you know the man standing over there by the motor car?(分词短语作限定性定语。) ????Last night,we caught a thief stealing John's bike.(分词短语作限定性定语) ????The name Nebraske comes from the Oto Indian word “ebrathka”.meaning flat water.(分词短语作非限定性定语)
The ~ing form 作状语
现在分词作状语表示主语在进行一动作的同时所进行的另一动作,它对谓语动词起修饰或陪衬的作用。这时要注意现在分词与其逻辑主语在时态和意义上的统一。例如: ????Rushing out of the room, he has knocked down by a car.(作时间状语) ????=When he rushed out of the room, he was hnocked down by a car. ????Working harder, you will pass the entrance exam.(作条件状语) ????=If you work harder, you will pass the entrance exam. ????She sat at a window and read a book.(作伴随状语) ????=She sat at a window and read a book. ????Having won the championship, he was awarded a million dollars.(作原因状语) ????=Because he had won the championship, he was awarded a million dollars. ????Even if taking a taxi, I will still be late for the meeting.(作让步状语) ????=Even if I take a taxi, I will still be late for the meeting. ????The road is under construction, thus causing the delay.(作结果状语) ????=The road is under construction, and thus caused the delay. ????注意,当现在分词作让步状语时,一般放在句首,常常由although, though, even if ,unless等连词引入;作结果状语时,一般放在句末,前面可so, thus, henc。
IV. Closing down by doing a quiz
To end the period you are going to take a quiz on ~ing words.
~ING WORDS Highlight all the words ending in '-ing'. Make lists of all the different categories of '-ing' words; that is, their different functions in the sentence. Examples of some of the different categories
He's swimming.
He's wearing a swimming suit.
He likes swimming.
Swimming is pleasant. Rewrite each sentence without using the '-ing' form. Is there a change in meaning? What is it? Find sentences in the text which can be rewritten using an -ing form. Is there any change in meaning? What is it?

Doing exercises
Now you are going to do exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 30 following the article.
The importance of body language People can not live without each other, we are social beings. As soon as we are in contact with others we are communicating. For this we can make use of spoken and written language. In these ways we make the content of a message clear to each other. However we can also communicate without words. This kind of communication tells us something about the relationship between people. Often this is more important than getting the content of the message across. The communication about this non spoken communication, which tells us something about the relationship between people, is called Meta-Communication. Communicating about communication!
Writing
Turn to page 31. Make a list of three positive body language expressions and three negative body language expressions.

A tree diagram of COMMUNICAATION: NO PROBLEM?

III. A retold passage of the text
A possible version:
You were sent to meet business people from several countries at Pudong Airport.
At the airport Mr Garcia from Columbia approaches Julia Smith from Britain, touching her shoulder and kissing her on the cheek, who steps away from him. Mr Cook, from Canada, reaches out his hand to the visitor from Japan who bows.
People communicate differently by unspoken language, their learned or cultural “body language”.
English people usually do not stand close to others or touch strangers when they first meet. But people from Spain, Italy, South American countries approach others closely, even touch them. Most world people greet each other by shaking hands while Japanese people do so by bowing.
People from Jordan moves close to the one they greet. People from France may greet each other by shaking hands and kissing. Men from Middle East or some Muslim countries stand quite close to other men to talk and they will not shake hands with women.
Body language is either good or bad. Its understanding helps you better communicate with each other.
2.Background information on Body language
I. American Gestures
COMMON GESTURES
Americans are a not touch (touch/not touch)oriented.
In normal social situations, Americans generally stand about 30 inches apart from one another, which is also considered their personal "comfort zone."
At sporting events or the theater, Americans usually slide into a crowded aisle while facing forward (forward/the people).

When greeting one another.
American children are taught to look others directly in the eyes.
When greeting and conversing. If not, means shyness or weakness.
Arm raised and the open hand "waggles" back and forth.
Signaling "hello" or "good-bye." Or trying to get someone's attention.
Americans will often wave to another person and then turn to make hand scoop inward; or raise the index finger ) palm toward one's face, and make a "curling " motion with that finger.
To beckon or summon another person.
Palm facing out with the index and middle fingers displayed in the shape of a "V."
"Victory" or "peace."

II. Common Asian Gestures
GREETINGS GESTURES
Handshaking
Bowing
Avoid direct eye contact
BEKONING GESTURES
To beckon someone, the palm faces downward and the fingers are moved in a scratching motion.
Avoid using fingers in pointing to an object.
TOUCHING GESTURES
Not touch oriented societies
Avoid public display of affection
Pushing (bumping) in crowds
OTHER NON VERBAL GESTURES
Respect to elderly people
Smiling often can cover a gamut of emotions: happiness, anger, confusion, apologies , or sadness.
Displaying an open mouth (such as yawning or a wide-open laugh) is considered rude, especially with women who cover their mouths when giggling or laughing.
Try to maintain a balanced posture, stand or sit erectly or squarely. Don't slouch or put on the ground with arms in the lap or on the armrest. Crossing the legs at the knees or ankles is the preferred form rather than with one ankle over the other knee.
Silience (listening) is a sign of politeness and of contemplation. During conversations, be especially careful about interrupting.
Japan
In summary, for most visitors the Japanese are complex and difficult to understand. Remember two things: (1) style, or the way things are done, is just as important as substance, or what is being done; and (2) watch your Japanese hosts carefully and follow their example.
GREETING GESTURES
The graceful act of bowing is the traditional greeting.
However, they have also adopted the western custom of shaking hands, albeit with a light grip and perhaps with eyes averted. Meanwhile, to show respect for their customs, it would flatter them to offer a slight bow when being introduced.
Avoid hugging and kissing when greeting.
It is considered rude to stare. Prolonged direct eye contact is considered impolite or even intimidating.
It is considered rude to stand with your hand or hands in your pockets, especially when greeting someone or when addressing a group of people.
The seemingly simple act of exchanging business cards is more complex in japn becuae the business card represents not only one's identity but one's station in life. Yours should be printed in your own language and in Japanese.
TOUCHING GESTURES
The Japanese are not a touch-oriented society, so avoid open displays of affection, touching or any prolonged form of body contact.
Queues are generally respected; it is only in crowded train and subway stations where the huge volume of people causes touching and pushing.
BECKONING GESTURES
It is considered insulting to point to someone fingers extended and the thinb folded into the palm.
To beckon someone, the palm faces downward and the fingers are moved in a scratching motion.
OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES
Because of the high regard for graciousness and restraint, one should not shout, raise the voice in anger, or exhibit any excessively demonstrative behavior.
Among the Japanese, smiling often can cover a gamut of emotions: happiness, anger, confusion, apologies, or sadness.
Displaying an open mouth (such as yawning or a wide open laugh) is considered rude in Japan, especially with women who cover their mouths when giggling or laughing.
Try to maintain a balanced posture stand or sit erectly or squarely. Do not slouch or put your feet on desks or chairs. When seated have both feet squarely on the ground with arms in the lap or on the armrests. Crossing the legs at the knee or ankles is the preferred form rather than with one ankle over the other knee.
Silence is perfectly acceptable and customary. Silence (listening) is a sign of politeness and of contemplation. During conversations, be especially careful about interrupting.
One way to show concentration and attentiveness is to close the eyes in contemplation and nod the head slight, up and down.
Japanese men like to avoid saying "no", but one gesture that is often used ti signal "no" or that "something is very difficult" is to tip the head backward and audibly suck air in through the teeth.
OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES
A gesture saying "I do not know," or "I don't understand" or "No, I am undeserving" is waving the hand back and forth in front of one's own face (palm outward).
The "O.K." gesture in Japan may be interpreted as the signal for "money" or "give me change in coins."
Blowing your nose in public is considered rude. The handkerchief is used primarily for wiping the mouth or drying the hands when leaving the washroom. Paper tissues are used for blowing the nose and then discarded.
When entering a private home or traditional restaurants with tatami (bamboo mats) floors, it is usually customary to remove your shoes and place them with the toes pointing toward the outdoors.
BOWING
Many westerners view the bow as an act of subservience, but in Japan that would completely wrong. For the Japanese a bow signals respect and humility, two qualities coveted throughout Asia.
Although it is not absolutely necessary, but a slight bow demonstrate that you respect their customs. And in Japan, where style and grace and courteousness are revered, that simply act would surely be noted, appreciated, and probably remembered.
WHO BOWS FIRST? AND HOW LOW DOES ONE BOW? In Japanese, it is extremely important to know the rank of people with whom you come in contact.
"The person of lower rank bows first and lowest."
"The higher the rank of the person facing you, the lower you bow."
"The lower the bow and the longer one holds the position, the stronger is the indication of respect, gratitude, sincerity, obeisance, humility, contriteness, etc."
With equals match bows, adding an extra one when you want to show a slight edge of respect.
When unsure of status, the safest move is to bow a shade less low than the other person.
The proper form is to bow (about 15 degrees) with hands sliding down toward the knees or at the sides, back neck stiff, and eyes averted. The formal bow (about 30 degrees) with palms on knees and often bobbing up and down. Never bow with a hand (of both hands) in your pockets.
Korea
GREETING GESTURES
Among themselves, bowing is the traditional form for both greeting and departing.
Western and Korean male friends usually greet with both a slight bow and shaking hands. When shaking hands, both hands are sometimes used. Women usually do not shake hands, especially with men, but usually just nod slightly. The senior person offers to shake hands first, but the junior person bows first. However, shake hands with a light grip and perhaps with eyes averted.
Avoid hugging and kissing when greeting.
Prolonged direct eye contact is considered impolite and even intimidating.
Business cards are traded respectfully. Keep the card on the table in front of you as just one small gesture of respect.
When saying good-bye, the traditional gesture is the bow, but the younger generation has adopted the western custom of waving good-bye by moving their arm side-to-side.
TOUCHING GESTURES
Generally speaking, the Koreans are not a touch-oriented society (especially true for visitors.) So avoid touching or any prolonged form of body contact.
Public display of affection are very rare. On the other hand, you may note people of the same sex walking hand-in-hand, which is simply a gesture of friendship.
Don't worry about a bit of pushing in stores or when groups board public buses or trains. Apologies are neither offered or expected.
BECKONING GESTURES
The open hand or the middle finger is used for pointing.
To beckon someone, the palm faces downward and the fingers are moved in a scratching motion. Using the arm and hand up, palm toward the face is used only for calling dogs and children.
OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES
Respect is always shown to elderly people, so it is appropriate to rise when a person-- especially an elderly man enters the room or giving up a seat on a subway. However, an elder may not give up a seat for a young boy.
Men generally have priority in Korea: Go through a door first, walk ahead of women, and women may help them on with their coats.
Among the Koreans, laughter is used to disguise many emotions: anger, frustration, and fear.
Loud talking or laughing is usually avoided. Koreans, especially women will cover their mouths laughing, resulting in giggling rather than wide open-mouth laughing.
Periods of silence are common and accepted, even during dinners.
Correct posture is important, especially when seated. Don't slouch or put your feet on desks or chairs. Try to maintain a balanced posture, stand or sit erectly or squarely. When seated have both feet squarely on the ground with arms in the lap or on the armrests. Crossing the legs at the knees or ankles is the preferred form rather than with one ankle over the other knee.
When walking in public, keep to the left side of the walkway and stairway.
OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES
It is considered impolite to enter a room without knocking first. However, Koreans may not wait for you to come to the door and open it. They may knock and then enter.
When walking in public places, direct eye contact is uncommon in the larger cities. However, visitors may be the subject of much curiosity and therefore you may notice some stares.
Blowing you nose in public is considered rude, especially at a meal. Paper tissues are used for blowing the nose and then discarded.
When entering a private home, it is usually customary to remove your shoes.
Spitting (except for young women) and burping in public is acceptable.
Phillipines
GREETING GESTURES
Handshaking is the common custom, with both men and women shaking hands in a friendly and informal fashion.
Filipinos may greet one another with the "eyebrow flash" which is merely a quick lifting of the eyebrows.
TOUCHING GESTURES
Generally speaking, the Filipinos are a touch-oriented society.
People of the same sex may be seen holding hands in public places, which is simply a gesture of friendship.
Don't worry about a bit of pushing and shoving when using public transportation, Filipinos seldom queue or observe orderly lines.
BECKONING GESTURES
Instead of pointing to an object , Filipinos will shift their eyes toward it, or purse the lips and point with the mouth.
To beckon someone, the palm faces downward and the fingers are moved in a scratching motion. Never curl your index finger back and forth because that is considered insulting.
OTHER NONVERBAL GESTURES
It is considered rude to stare. Prolonged direct eye contact is considered impolite and even intimidating.
Respect is always shown to elderly people.
Among the Filipinos, laugher is used to convey both enjoyment and pleasure but also to mask embarrassment over another person's misfortune.

Muslim n. & a. A Muslim is a believer in or follower of Islam. The word Muslim means one who submits and implies complete submission to the will of God (Allah). Muslims believe that nature is itself Islamic, since it follows natural laws placed by God. Thus, a Muslim strives to surrender to God's commands every step of the way.
The holiest book for Muslims is the Qur'an, or the 'Koran' in English. Muslims consider the Arabic Qur'an as the direct revelation of God; translations do exist to other languages but are not regarded as the literal word of God.
Other canonical texts of the Muslim include the hadith which are recordings of the life of the prophet made by the people who were around him. Many matters not specifically mentioned in the Qur'an are covered in the hadith. The degree to which the hadith are authoritative depends on the sect which a Muslim is from.
The basic beliefs of Muslims are: belief in God, His angels, His revealed Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and the Al Qadar (which is a form of divine pre-destination). The revealed books of Islam also include the Injil (Christian Gospels), the Torah and the Psalms.
The Five Pillars of Islam on which a Muslim's life is founded are:
The Testimony that there is none worthy of worship except God and that Muhammad is his messenger.
Establishing of the five daily Prayers (Salaah). These prayers are ritualistic in nature and adherence to the ritual practice is required. The location at which one prays is not strictly defined as long as one is able to establish the Qiblat.
The Giving of Zakaah (charity), which is generally 2.5% of the yearly savings for a rich man working in trade or industry, and 10% or 20% of the produce for agriculturists. This money or produce is distributed among the poor.
Refraining from eating, drinking and having sex from dawn to dusk in the month of Ramadhaan (Sawm).
The Pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca during the month of Zul Hijjah, which is compulsory once in a lifetime for one who has the ability to do it. This ability includes the financial means and the physical strength since the hajj can be strenuous. Also, one has to obtain a permit from the Saudi government which is granted based on an annual quota based on country.
comedy n. Comedy is the use of humour in the performing arts. It also means a performance that relies heavily on humor. The term originally comes from theater, where it simply referred to a play with a happy ending, in contrast to a tragedy. The humor, once an incidental device used to entertain, is now an essential aspect of a comedy.
A recognised characteristic of comedy is that it is an intensely personal enjoyment. People frequently fail to find the same things amusing, but when they do it can help to create powerful bonds.
Unit 4 Body Language
I 教学内容分析
本单元的中心话题是“身体语言”。身体语言的交流在不同的文化中所蕴涵的意义是不一样的。这样,人们在互相交际时,就会出现这样或那样的问题或障碍。本单元就是从该话题展开,通过一系列的交际误会的场景,形象地表现出话题的中心:身体语言本身没有对错或好坏之分,它们是在特定的文化发展规律过程中形成的。
Warming Up 部分由两部分组成。练习1通过让学生讨论四幅照片交流对日常交际的看法。然后让学生选择课本提供的15个日常交际用语中的一个,用身势语言表演出来,让同伴猜测其意义。
Pre-reading 部分设计了四个问题。这些问题集中引导学生思考“语言的目的”、“离开语言人们如何交流”、“有多少途径可用非语言手段向人问好”、“预测下面阅读课文的内容”等,这些问题既是对“热身”所引出的话题的总结,又承接了下一步的阅读教学。
Reading 部分描写了作者在机场迎接外国客人的场景。这几位来自不同国家的学生初次见面时,都按照自己国家的风俗习惯向对方问候,结果却遭遇了尴尬。这一场景增加了文章的真实性和形象性,使读者仿佛身处其中,能引发读者的好奇心,为下面引出中心做好了铺垫。
Learning about Language 包括词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分含有三个练习:从1至3分别为猜词义、用词填空。语法部分分两步走:练习1要求学生从课文中找出含有v-ing形式的句子;然后在练习2中运用v-ing形式,做到了讲练结合。
Using Language 该部分包括四大块:阅读与交谈、写作、听写说和说写。在这一部分学生的各项知识和技能得到了充分的提高。阅读部分进一步阐述了身体语言的重大作用,并用具体的身体语言举例来告知学生们如何使用它们。写作部分环节合理:先收集句子,然后表演,最后写下自己所观看到的主要内容。第三部分先讲述了一场车祸,接着让学生根据图片来表演相关内容,听练结合,学以致用。最后一部分让学生在生活中应用所学的知识:看到Lin Pei的反常行为后,先向另一个朋友描述其举止(以对话的形式);然后建议Lin Pei讲出心事(以写信的形式展开)。

IV. 教学步骤:
Period 1 Warming Up, Listening(Workbook)& Talking (Workbook)
Teaching Goals:
1.To get Ss to know something about body language.
2.To encourage Ss to learn to express themselves by body language.
Teaching Procedures:
Step 1. Leading-in
Purpose : By showing Ss a few pictures of body language, ask Ss to guess the feeling each picture can convey.
Lead Ss to the topic of this unit. Teacher may say, “All of the pictures show many difference. Can you tell the others what each picture shows? Are these actions kind of language? Can we communicate with a person who can’t speak or a person whose language is different from yours?” Ask Ss to give their explanation for all the above pictures in order to arouse their interest in the topic — body language.
Step 2. Warming Up
Purpose: To introduce the topic of this unit to Ss in the form of discussion.
1. Ask some Ss the following questions.
If you are painful, what expression will you have on your face?
If you are very angry , how will you show the feeling?
If you want to show “Be quiet!”, what will you do without speaking?

2. Ask Ss to present the actions to their desk mates. The part can be done like this: Students A can say meanings and Student B acts them out. Then they can do in turn..
Conclusion:
We can communicate with people even if we don’t use words or voice. Body language is part of language which sometimes can convey more emotions than words. But sometimes body language may cause trouble because different cultures have different body language or even if the same body language may mean contrariwise. So it is a necessity for us to know body language to avoid misunderstanding.
Step 3. Pre-listening
Purpose: to help Ss to guess the main idea about the listening text by the given pictures.
1. Divide Ss into groups of six and ask them to discuss the pictures with their partners.

Ask Ss to listen to the tape again and answer the questions in Ex3 on P62. If Ss have some difficulty in finding out the answers, stop the tape where necessary.
Step 5. Talking (Workbook)
1. Explain for Ss “commands”, “warnings” and “prohibitions”.
command: give orders to
e.g. He commanded silence.他命令大家肃静。
I command you to go.我命令你去。
warning: advice to beware /a cautionary
e.g. Because of her warning, I was careful.由于她的提醒,我很小心。

Step 2. Grammar
Purpose: To get Ss to know the fun_ction of the v–ing form of the verb.
1. Ask Ss to work in pairs and finish Ex1 on P29. After that, lead them to draw a conclusion.
Conclusion: The rule of the grammar in this unit.
We have learned that the v–ing form of the verb can be used as the subject and the object in Unit 2 and it is can be used as the predicative and the attributive in Unit 3. In this unit, we will go on to learn the v–ing form of the verb used as the attributive and the adverbial.
(1) As the attributive — A single v–ing form should be placed before the noun it serves; if a phrase after the noun it serves.
For example: running water; floating ice block; leaking pipes; dripping taps;
a boy standing there; the man smoking a cigarette; the driver driving a new car
a sleeping bag; a fishing pole; a sewing machine…
(2) As the adverbial —The v–ing form should be used as the adverbial of time, reason, way, result, condition , etc. For example:
Passing the house, he saw a girl playing the piano. (time)
I got to know him while working with him. (time)
Being excited, none of us could fall asleep. (reason)
He came running. (way)
She stood waiting for a bus. (accompany)
They opened the fire, killing one soldier. (result)
(3) The v–ing form can be used in the following structures.
① Present participle phrases such as adding /pointing out/reminding/warning can introduce statements in indirect speech. For example:
He told me to start early, reminding me that the roads would be crowded.
② After the verbs of sensation, such as see, hear, smell, listen (to), notice, and watch, the action can be either complete or incomplete. For example:
I see him passing my house every day.
Didn’t you hear the clock sticking?
I felt the car skidding.
She smelt something burning and saw smoke rising.
I watched them rehearsing the play.
③ catch, find, leave+ object + present participle. For example:
I caught him stealing the apples. (I found him doing this.)
If she catches you reading her diary, she will be furious.
I found him standing at the door.
I left him talking to Bob. = He was talking to Bob when I left.
④ spend/waste + an expression of time /money +v-ing. For example:
He spends two hours a day traveling.
Tom spends much money modernizing his house.
e busy +v.-in. For example:
She is/ was busy packing.
⑥ The v-ing can replace as/since/because +subject +verb. For example:
Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to buy food on his journey he took large supplies with him.
Being a student he was naturally interested in museums.
⑦ When one action is immediately followed by another by the same subject, the first action can be expressed by a present participle. For example:
He rode away. He whistled as he went. = He rode away whistling.
⑧ When the second action forms part of the first, or is the result of it, we can express the second action by a present participle. For example:
She went out, slamming the door.
He fell over, hitting his head against the table.
⑨The negative form of the v-ing form is ‘not v-ing; the present perfect form is “having done”; the passive form is “being done”.

She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? 37 (leave) the last question undone, I handed in my paper and the bell rang. When the class ended one of the students asked 38 the last question would count toward our quiz grade. “ 39 your careers you will meet a great number of people.

第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

A
难度:★
She took time to ask whether her students had eaten breakfast in the morning, or if they had enough warm clothes to wear in winter. My English teacher, Marsha Pincus, did all that and more for me when I was growing up in inner-city Philadelphia, one of eight kids raised by a single mother.
Mrs. Pincus told me to come by or to call her if I needed to. She cared about me. She gave a skinny kid like me some extra support.
I was always something of a smart-mouth when I was young, but Mrs. Pincus helped me channel my enthusiasm (热情) into something positive. When she was out on maternity (怀孕) leave with her first child, a substitute teacher came in for English classes. On the first day, this teacher had trouble controlling the classroom. I watched kids cutting up in front of her and got really mad. This was my favorite class; I loved learning Shakespeare.
I knew the substitute would talk to Mrs. Pincus and that she’d be disappointed. “We need to stop this!” I shouted. Usually I was the one clowning around, but the kids seemed to listen. I ended up standing in front of the room discussing Julius Caesar. Later, the substitute told Mrs. Pincus about the skinny boy who taught the lesson. Mrs. Pincus said she knew right away what had happened. “Without her even naming you, I knew it was you,” she told me.
Looking back, I think that was when the teacher in me started to emerge (显现). Mrs. Pincus retired this year after more than 30 years of teaching. I spoke at her retirement party. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But because of this lady’s encouragement, I learned I belonged to the classroom, the front of it.
41. We can say that the author is most probably ____.

life.
C. She cared about all her students, especially the
author.

难度:★★
My friend is a rather old-fashioned lady. She is always quite delicate and elegant(文雅的), especially in her language. She and her husband were planning to attend a family party, so she wrote to a hotel and booked a room. She wanted to make sure the hotel was fully equipped, but didn’t know how to ask about the toilet facilities (卫生间设备). She just couldn’t bring herself to write the word “toilet” in her letter. After much thought, she finally came up with the old-fashioned term “bathroom commode”. But when she wrote that down she felt that she was being too forward. So she started all over again, wrote the trip purpose this time, and referred to the bathroom commode merely as the B.C.. “Does the hotel have its own B.C.?” is what she finally wrote.
Well, the hotel owner wasn’t old-fashioned at all, and he couldn’t figure out what the woman was talking about. That B.C. business really stumped him. After worrying about it for a while, he showed the letter to some waiters, but no one could figure out what she meant either. So the hotel owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady was talking about the location of the Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply:
“Dear Madam, I regret very much the delay (延期) in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure of informing you that the B.C. is located nine miles north of the hotel and is capable (有能力的) of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late. If you don’t start early you might not make it in time. I would like to say it pains me very much not being able to go more often, but it is surely not because of a lack of desire on my part. If you decide to come to our hotel, perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the folks.”
46. Why did the author’s friend write “B.C.” instead of “toilet”?
A. She tried to make her letter difficult to understand.
B. She was quite old and liked to make the letter brief.
C. She could spell out neither “toilet” nor “bathroom
commode”.
D. She thought it was a politer way to express what she meant.
47. All of the following are mentioned in the lady’s letter except that ____.
A. she wanted to know the exact location of the hotel
B. she would attend a family party with her husband
C. she would like to book a room in the hotel
D. she wanted to find out whether the hotel would meet her needs
48. The underlined word “stumped” in the second paragraph is the closest in meaning to ____.
A. interested B. puzzled
C. shocked D. disappointed
49. By writing “a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it”, the hotel owner means that ____.
A. it is a long way from the hotel to the church
B. the church has never served lunch at noon before
C. the church is very popular with local people
D. people like to share their lunches in the church
50. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To persuade people not to use old-fashioned terms.
B. To tell a funny story about an old-fashioned lady.
C. To introduce two different meanings of “B.C.”.
D. To criticize the old-fashioned lady’s foolish
behavior.
C
难度:★★★
Muntazer al-Zaidi threw a shoe. Or rather, he threw two. Both were aimed at the head of George W. Bush, as he gave a press conference in Baghdad.
In fact, few people in the West don’t care about the matters of feet. In much of South East Asia, it’s consi-
dered rude to cross your legs while sitting down. In north India, my friend Hamish was once nearly hit by some Indians for pointing his feet at a local person.
As you may already know from that tiresome bank advertisement, it’s very easy to cause foreign offence(冒犯). In Japan it’s rude to blow your nose and, as in China, rude to leave your chopsticks standing up in a bowl of rice. In the Philippines, you can be arrested(逮捕) for calling somebody by bending your finger, because this suggests that he or she is a dog. In much of southern Europe and North Africa, the “thumbs up” sign doesn’t mean “yes” or “very good”, but in fact means “sit on this”. In Turkey, the “OK” circle sign refers to be the bit they’d sit down with. Almost everywhere else in the world, it is deeply rude to point. In India, you are expected to point with your chin (下巴).
If you are going to insult(侮辱) somebody from another culture, it really pays to know what you are doing. You can go a long way with hand gestures. The extended middle finger is fairly widely understood, but the same cannot be said for our beloved British V-sign, which even Americans might think of Winston Churchill, or hippies.
51. From the underlined sentence, we can know that ____.
A. most of the Western people pay attention to the
matters of feet
B. only few Western people think the problems with feet important
C. there is something wrong with the Western people’s feet
D. the Western people think comfortable shoes are
important for feet
52. The writer’s friend was nearly hit by some Indians
because ____.
A. he crossed his legs while sitting down
B. he threw his shoes everywhere
C. he pointed his feet at an Indian
D. he showed great anger to the local people
53. In Japan, it is not polite to ____.
A. bow to strangers in a formal ceremony
B. blow your nose when you meet others
C. bend your fingers in the street
D. speak to others in a low voice
54. When eating rice in China, you should never ____.
A. use chopsticks because they are too long
B. eat with your mouth full because it’s rude
C. eat a full bowl of rice up because it’s too much
D. leave your chopsticks standing up in the bowl
55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the
passage?
A. Most of Philippines don’t like dogs and cats.
B. It means “Yes” in Turkey when people show the “OK” circle sign.
C. It’s considered rude to point Indians with your
chin.
D. The “thumbs up” sign means “sit on this” in North Africa.

28. A。作者问老人:“如果我的姐妹们来看你,你愿意把灯点亮吗?”

43. C。细节理解题。从文章第一段中的叙述得知Mrs. Pincus经常对学生们嘘寒问暖,呵护备至,而对我的关心更是有过之而无不及。
44. C。推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Later, the substitute told Mrs. Pincus about the skinny boy who taught the lesson.”可知,作者当时很瘦。
45. A。作者意图题。作者在Mrs. Pincus退休的时候写下了这篇文章,回忆了当年发生的故事。正是Mrs. Pincus的关怀和鼓励改变了作者,因此撰此文纪念老师,感谢老师。
46. D。推理判断题。这位守旧的女士在各个方面都很精细、雅致,尤其是在语言上,所以她在写信表达“卫生间”时几经斟酌,最后用“B.C.”来代替,其目的是不想太直接,她认为这样才更为妥当。
47. A。细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容可知,这位女士和她丈夫打算参加一个家庭聚会,想在旅馆预定一个房间,同时想了解一下旅馆设施,并通过写信把这些信息告知旅馆负责人。

54. D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“... as in China, rude to leave your chopsticks standing up in a bowl of rice.”可知答案。
55. D。细节理解题。A项内容文中并没有提及;根据“In Turkey, the “OK” circle sign refers to be the bit they’d sit down with.”可知B项错误;根据“In India, you are expected to point with your chin.”可知C项错误;根据“In much of southern Europe and North Africa, the “thumbs up” sign doesn’t mean “yes” or “very good”, but in fact means “sit on this”.”可知D项正确。

60. E。马上就要到Tony的12岁生日了,他准备生日那天和朋友们到野外露营,但是现在他还没有帐篷,很发愁。所以E项的礼物A Camping Set很适合他。

M: I’m not paying for any damage.
W: We’ll see about that when the police get here.
M: The police? No! If I get one more ticket, I’ll lose my driver’s licence!
W: Well, that’s too bad. Maybe this will teach you not to follow so closely!
(Text 7)
M: Where to go?
W: The Pacific Hotel on Granville Street.
M: Have you just arrived in Canada?
W: No, I’ve been here since last September.
M: I guess you’re a student.
W: Actually, I’m from China, and I’m on an educational tour.
M: I see. By the way, when will you head for home?
W: At the end of August. And what about you? Have you been driving a taxi very long?
M: Only a couple of hours!
W: Do you mean you’re just learning how to do this?
M: Just a joke! This is a second job. I do this on weekends to earn a little money. We call it moonlighting.
W: Moonlighting? I do this in China too.
(After a few minutes)
M: Here you are. The Pacific Hotel. The meter says $17.25.
W: Here you are. Keep the change.
(Text 8)
W: Good evening, sir. I’m the Assistant Manager.
M: Good evening.
W: I’m afraid we’ve had a complaint from your neighbour about the noise. He’s trying to get some sleep as he will have an early start tomorrow. I’m sure you understand.
M: Oh, I see.
W: Do you think it might be possible to ask your friends to be a little quieter? We do like to give our guests a chance of getting a good night’s sleep. It is well after eleven.
M: Oh, I’m so sorry. I do apologize. I suppose we were talking rather loudly. It’s just that we’ve reached an important agreement. We were having a bit of a celebration.
W: I’m pleased to hear it. Shall I ask Room Service to bring you some coffee?
M: No, that won’t be necessary. We were just about to pack up anyway.
W: Thank you, sir, and good night to you.
(Text 9)
W: How come David is always so full of energy?
M: He has a strange but highly effective way of sleeping.
W: What is that?
M: He takes a short sleep for an hour every six hours and has a total of four hours of sleep each day.
W: Where did he get that strange idea?
M: He read from a book which said that it was the best way for human beings to and he believed it.
W: How many hours do you sleep a day?
M: I need at least seven hours. I once tried to follow David’s example but it never worked out for me.
W: If I sleep during the day, I can never wake up.
M: Not every one is David, I guess.

There were three professors at the railway station. They were deep in conversation. The train had just moved, but they did not notice it. Then the guard shouted, “Take your seats, please!”
The professors heard the guard and rushed for the train. Two of them got on the train before it moved. The third one was left behind. It was Professor Egghead. He looked sad.
One of the professor’s students was at the station. He tried to comfort the professor. “It wasn’t bad, sir,” said the student, “two out of three caught the train. That’s quite good, you know.” “I know,” the professor said, “but it was my train. My friends only came to say goodbye.”

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
A
There is one language that is used in every country in the world.The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat.It is everybody's second language.It is easy to understand, although you can't hear it.It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language.When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech.You are using sign language.When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me.I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can't talk can point at things.They are using sign language.A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands.He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people.He invented a finger alphabet (字母表).It is still in use.People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them.Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries.The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people.The newsreader tells the news in sign language.At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don't spell every word.Sometimes they use hand signs.When they put two hands together, it means sandwich.They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house.One finger in front of an actor's mouth can mean quiet.You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed.And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.
How many hand signs do you use every day?
(  )26.Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?
A.It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.

(  )28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B.There are schools, colleges and universities for the deaf in the USA.

答案:C

How you shake hands can show a lot about your personality.Palm-to-palm contact suggests that you are an honest person.A weak handshake shows a lack of confidence.Be careful not to shake somebody's hand too hard.This would suggest that you are really going over the top and trying to be something that you are not.
Your eyes are the windows to your soul.Avoiding eye contact while speaking to somebody can be considered very rude.Shifty (诡诈的)eyes are also considered to be a sign of dishonesty.If you are being interviewed, you need to answer questions calmly and look at the interviewer in the eyes as you speak.This does not mean that you stare or glare into the eyes of other persons, which can make them feel extremely uncomfortable.
A good posture is a sign of a confident person.When reading people by body language, always pay attention to their postures.If you are sitting at the table and having a conversation, you can lean forward to listen.If you are standing, make sure you stand erectly to look confident.
How you place your arms can say a lot about the thoughts that are running in your mind.Putting the arms across the chest makes the other person feel that you are creating a kind of barrier(障碍)between the person and you.Therefore, in professional meetings or discussions, let your arms rest at your side or hold an object.
Reading people by body language can be fun and interesting if you manage to learn the ropes well.Use these methods to get more success in your professional and personal affairs.
(  )31.According to Paragraph 1, a weak handshake shows that the person________.
A.is very honest B.is very careless
C.lacks self-confidence D.wants to make a good impression
(  )32.From Paragraph 2, we can learn the writer would probably agree that________.
a.eye contact is very important in a conversation
b.shifty eyes should be avoided in a conversation
c.staring into one's eyes in a conversation makes him or her comfortable
d.eye contact should be avoided to keep calm during an interview
A.abcd B.abd C.cd D.ab
(  )33.What does the underlined word “erectly” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Straight. B.Forward. C.Backward D.Casually
(  )34.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.How to hide the thoughts that are running in your mind.
B.How to avoid creating a barrier in a conversation
C.How to behave well in an international meeting.
D.How to place your arms in a conversation.
(  )35.What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage?
A.To prove that good handshakes are very important.
B.To tell us how to read people by body language.
C.To advise us to avoid eye contact while speaking.
D.To tell us how to make fun and interesting body language.
答案:31~35 CDADBC
C
Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough.In Southeast Asian cultures,a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感),but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural backgrounds in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了面部表情取决于情景和人们之间的关系。文章通篇阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式,以及文化之间的差异导致的面部表情的不同含义。
36.What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?
A.Love. B.Politeness. C.Joy. D.Thankfulness.
解析:根据文章第一段中的“in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure”可知,在美国文化中,一般地说,微笑是快乐的表情。此处joy是pleasure的同义词。故选C。
答案:C
37.What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Smile. B.Love. C.Politeness. D.Facial expressions.
解析:根据语意可知“It”代指smile。
答案:A
38.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can________.
A.show friendliness to strangers
B.be used to hide true feelings
C.be used in the wrong places
D.show personal habits
解析:根据文章第一段中的“It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.”可知这是一个中心句,其后用例证法阐述:微笑能隐藏真正的感情。它常常导致跨文化间的困惑。其中越南人讲故事的例子就是为了说明这一观点。故选B。
答案:B
39.What should we do before attempting to “read” people?
A.Learn about their relations with others.
B.Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C.Find out about their past experience.
D.Figure out what they will do next.
解析:根据文章最后一段中的“The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of ”reading“ the other person incorrectly.”可知,我们在“读”人们的表情的时候,要先理解他们的文化背景,否则就会出错。
答案:B
40.What would be the best title for the test?
A.Cultural Differences B.Smiles and Relationship
C.Facial Expressiveness D.Habits and Emotions
解析:文章通篇阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式,以及文化之间的差异导致的面部表情的不同含义。所以C正确。
答案:C
D
Body language is a nonverbal communication that becomes a key in understanding children's feelings and thoughts.The following are the basic components of body language of children:
Face-Shortly after birth, a baby shows facial expression reflecting inner-most(内心深处的)feelings.At the age of three,a child has different inner-most emotional expressions.
Posture-Once toddlers(学步的儿童)begin to move, they show a variety of body postures.For example,when they move slowly and hunch their shoulders (耸肩) , it means they are sad.
Hands and fingers-If your children close their hands and clench them tight,they are certainly upset and angry.However,if their fingers open and their arms hang beside their body, it means that they are relaxed.
Foot-If your children move their foot forward and backward,it indicates that they are thinking about something or they may feel guilty about what they have said,or they are frightened.
Distance-When a child is in a bad mood, he creates a distance between you and him by sitting in the opposite corner of the room.Otherwise, he wants to hug you when he is frightened.
It is better for you to understand some facts about body language in order to build a better relationship between you and your child.The following points are some facts about body language:
Body language is more often used than spoken language.The results of a study showed that less than 10% of emotion was expressed in words,but more than 90% was expressed in body language.Words are more often used by children to communicate the facts, while body language is used to communicate emotions.
Body language is less controllable than spoken language.Smile, body postures, the movement of hands and feet, eye contact, and other gestures are done unconsciously.
When you are trying to understand a child's body language, do not forget that body language is not an exact science.Your understanding is not always right.Increasing your experience by paying careful attention to children in every situation is the best way to improve your ability to read a child's body language.
(  )41.Which of the following actions shows that a child may be thinking about something?
A.Opening the fingers.
B.Closing the hands tight.
C.Sitting in the opposite corner of the room.

You're getting a hidden peek , a peek world of what's really going on.When you can read body language, every moment spent with others can be valuable and, if you are in business profitable.Body language is crucial, and the messages and secrets hidden behind can be unveiled through reading body gestures.
Reading body gestures can convey more messages and secrets than people realize.Paul Ekman, a psychologist in the study of emotion has devoted a lot to this area.His team asked volunteers to make faces corresponding to a particular emotion and filmed the result.As a result, he found that there were actually seven universal expressions of emotions on the face:happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, contempt and disgust.He developed an entire system of looking at the muscles of the face.The influence of Ekman's facial expression research can be seen today.Facial recognition systems help consumer research get access to the inner world of customers: how they react to different foods and advertisements.Today these systems are even being installed in airports to refine security checks.

答案:One possible version:
Paul Ekman did a research on the facial expressions with his team,which had a great influence.Reading the facial expressions,we can know a lot of information hidden behind.
In fact,in real life,everyone would have an experience of using body language.I remember yesterday,I came across a foreigner who got lost in the bookstore near my school.
Due to my poor oral English,I couldn't make myself understood at first.However,with great efforts,I successfully helped him find his way with a lot of gestures. There is no doubt that in intercultural communication and understanding the different cultural implication of Chinese and English,body language can promote people's cross-cultural communication competence.
Besides,it reinforces the heart-to-heart understanding.And it is helpful for people to diminish or avoid misunderstandings caused by the cultural differences of body language. Here are some effective ways to master body language to start with,what we should do is remember how people from different cultures act and to keep an understanding and tolerant attitude towards the differences.What's more,we are supposed to do our utmost to read as many books as possible.

第三部分:阅读理解(共两节;每小题2分,满分20分)
第一节:阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.
How many hand signs do you use every day?
56. Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?
A. It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.
B. It is a way to express one’s ideas without words.
C. It is only used by the deaf.
D. It can be heard.
57. If you want to express the idea that “I am very friendly” to someone, you will ______.
A. raise your hand B. put one hand onto the other
C. smile to the person D. make a roof with your hands
58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Hand signs instead of finger signs are used everyday.
B. There are schools, colleges and universities for the deaf in the USA.
C. The French priest Charles invented sign language.
D. Even babies are using sign language.
59. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. an introduction to sign language B. the importance of sign language
C. a famous priest in France D. how to use sign language
第二节:阅读下面短文, 并根据短文内容判断正误(正确:T;错误:F)。
There are some basic things to know about kite flying that can help you to enjoy the sport more. Here are a few of the most important ones.
First, if you have ever seen someone flying a kite in a movie, you probably saw him or her get the kite off the ground by running into the wind. However, this is not the way to launch a kite. Most beginners will find a “high start” launch to be the easiest. For a high start launch, have a friend stand about one hundred feet away, facing into the wind. Your friend should face you and hold the kite gently. Place some tension(拉力) on the flying line by pulling gently on the line. With a steady breeze behind you, tug gently on the line, and the kite will rise.
If your kite begins to dive (俯冲), don’t panic or pull on the line. Dropping the reel (线轴) will cause it to spin out of control, and could cause someone to be hurt. Simply let the line go slack (松弛的). This usually will right the kite in midair.
For a kite that is pulling hard away from you, have a friend stand behind you and take up the slack line as you bring it in. Hand over hand, pull down the kite. It is very important to have gloves on to do this, or you may burn or cut your hands. It is recommended (建议) that you always wear gloves while flying kites.
When two kite lines get crossed, pulling may cause enough friction to cut one or both of the lines. Instead of pulling, both fliers should walk towards one another until their lines uncross as they pass.
60. To launch a kite, run into the wind holding the kite behind you.
61. In a high start launch, a friend stands about one hundred feet away from you holding the kite.
62. If your kite begins to dive from the sky, immediately drop the reel.
63. It is suggested that you always wear gloves when flying a kite.
64. If your kite is pulling hard away from you, you should run after it.
65. If two kite lines get crossed, you should pull them apart.

四、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C或D)中,选出最佳选项
A
It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word "congratulations". I don't remember ever smiling so wide.
Then I looked at my financial(财政的) package.
The cost of Dream School's tuition(学费), room and board was around $40,000 - an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren't as famous as my first choice.
In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn't sure what to do.
One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents' financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, and listen quietly. But I surprised myself.
At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus(校园) including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.
As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.
In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my "dream" university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
56. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?
A. He was full of joy.
B. He was lost in his dream.
C. He was worried about the money.
D. He was uncertain which school to go to.
57. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _______.
A. honest B. strict C. supportive D. decisive
58. In Paragraph 5, "offered me a full ride" can be replaced by " ________".
A. would pay for transport to the school
B. would show me around the campus
C. would offer free meals at all events
D. would charge me nothing for tuition
59. What does the author mainly want to say?
A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.
B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.
C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.
D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.
B
  Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little hope of raising the money needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future interests.This they do by issuing stocks (股票) and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation (流通) the savings of single persons and institutions, both at home and abroad.
  When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom be originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.
  Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local organizations. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not work. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local organizations , and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.
There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.
  60. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is _______ .
  A. exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange
  B. raised by the selling of shares in the companies
  C. repaid to its original owners as soon as possible
  D. invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange
  61. All the basic services on which we depend are _______ .
  A. unable to provide for the needs
  B. financed wholly by rates and taxes
  C. in constant need of financial support
  D. run by the Government or our local organizations
  62. The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local organizations and nationalized industries _______ .
  A. to make certain everybody saves money
  B. to borrow as much money as they wish
  C. to make certain everybody lends money to them
  D. to raise money to finance new development
  63. The underlined word "invest" here probably means _______ .
  A. lose more money with
  B. provide less money with
  C. borrow less money with
  D. buy shares in order to make a profit
C
Asian athletes have had a spare time in the first two days of the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, England. But Chinese hurdler(跨栏运动员) Liu Xiang surprised everyone by taking the bronze medal in the men's 60-meter hurdles.
Liu became the first Chinese male athlete to get a world indoor medal in the 18-year history of the championship and was the only Asian medallist this time.
"Karaoke (卡拉OK)! That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get a big group of my friends together and sing. I love both Western and Chinese music but especially Michael Jackson," said Liu after clocking 7.25 seconds in the final to take his place on the podium (领奖台).
"Frankly speaking, I didn't think I was in the shape to win a medal," Liu said. "On my arrival here, my aim was just to fight my way into the final. After I did that, I thought I might just get into the top six. I knew British hurdler Colin Jackson was going to be here and he's the world record holder indoors and out."
"There was also Cuba's reigning (统治的) Olympic champion Anier Garcia and Allen Johnson, from the United States." It was Johnson, the reigning world outdoor champion, who was successful in 7.47 seconds with Garcia second and Jackson finished back in fifth.
Now Liu will never underestimate his chances again and is aiming for glory in Paris later this year.
"There is the World Championship outdoors in the summer and I have now got to think that I can get a medal. I can never again think that I can't get a medal," he said. Liu's success here marks his rapid transition into the senior ranks.
"The university gives me a lot of flexibility. My courses are very easy and the teachers are very helpful," said Liu.
They might have to be even more accommodating(乐于助人的) now if Liu starts taking on celebrity status, although an invite to his homecoming karaoke party may help.
64. The first sentence "Asian athletes have had a spare time in the first two days..." means "________".
A. Asian athletes can do things at their will in the first two days
B. Asian athletes haven't any achievements in the first two days
C. Asian athletes could match athletes from other continents
D. Asian athletes are tired of competing in the first two days
65. The underlined sentence means "________".
A. I was not satisfied with my performances
B. winning a medal can't show what I have done
C. I didn't think I was able to win a medal
D. I haven't told anyone about my achievements in the hurdles
66. Liu ________ the World Championship outdoors in Paris later this year.
A. is busy preparing for
B. has great pressure on
C. is more confident of his ability in
D. pays little attention to
67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Liu Xiang was the youngest athlete to take part in the competition in England.
B. Liu Xiang was the first Asian medallist to get a world indoor medal.
C. Liu Xiang is not only a good athlete but a music-lover.
D. Liu Xiang finds it hard to get along with teachers in university.
68. Of the following persons, who hasn't got a medal in the World Indoor Championship?
A. Garcia. B. Allen Johnson.
C. Liu Xiang. D. Michael Jackson.
D
Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone.
And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through space, happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides (潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.
69. Two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because ________.
A. another star happened to come near the sun
B. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth
C. the star moved away from the sun
D. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sun
70. The article suggests that ________.
A. how space formed B. no one knows where the earth comes from
C. our earth used to be one part of a high mountain on the sun
D. our earth exists before the sun
71. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to ________.
A. the powerful tidal pull
B. the star coming near
C. one of the sun's planets
D. the large tidal wave
72. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers ________.
A. how the high mountains were formed on the sun
B. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful
C. where the planets in the universe came from
D. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it

?Four hundred and three babies are crying loudly. Do you know how to make them quiet in 41 seconds? There is an amazing new product on sale in Japan which does exactly this. It is an LP (a long-playing record) of sounds from inside a mother’s body, which a hospital doctor recorded. In tests with the record she played the LP to 403 crying babies. After 41 seconds not one baby was crying and 161 of them were sleeping.   ?The record began as an experiment by Professor Hajime Minooka of the Nippon Medical University near Tokyo. He was looking for something natural that helped new-born babies go to sleep. The sound of the mothers’ heart-beat and other body sounds are the things the babies heard inside their mothers. They feel safe and happy when they hear these sounds again. And they go to sleep.   ?Hospitals in Osaka and Tokyo are using the LP. 10, 000 young couples are using it too. Toshiba Music Company who makes and sells the records is very happy. One and a half million couples marry every year in Japan. Many will have babies, so the LP will definitely be a hit!
73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the ?? passage?    A. About 55% of the crying babies fell asleep after 41 seconds hearing the LP.    B. The LP sounds were first recorded by Professor Hajime Minooka.    C. The LP is produced and sold by Toshiba Music Company.    D. One million and a half babies are born in Japan every year. 74. Babies feel ______when they hear these LP sounds.    A. the sounds to be their mothers’ voices    B. as if they were inside their mothers    C. the music natural and soft ????

二、单项填空
21—25 BCBDA 26—30 ABCCD 31—35 BCADC
重点解析:
21.句意为:恐怕Jones不能定在明天九点,那时他将正在昆士兰开会。
22. 一般说来,单数可数名词前或者用不定冠词,或者用定冠词the,不可秃头使用。故首先排除A、B项。experience作“经验"讲,是不可数名词;作“经历"讲,是可数名词。如:He has no experience of teaching.他没有教学经验。He has many interesting experiences in his life.他一生中有很多有趣的经历。依据题意判断,此处的experience表示“一次经历”。故选C。
23. 本题考查非谓语动词的用法。products与introduce的关系是被动的,故选B。when引导的是一个省略句,补全为 “When they were first introduced to the market, …”。全句意思为:“这些产品一投放市场,就获得了成功。”
24. 本题考查介绍后的客套用语。
介绍分为自我介绍和介绍他人。自我介绍一般先提出自我介绍的意向,说出自己的姓名、身份等。一般可以说:
Please allow me to introduce myself. / Let me introduce myself. / May I introduce myself? My name is…/ I’m …
比较随便的场合可以说:
Hello, my name is … 或Hi, I’m…
介绍他人时一般需要介绍双方的姓名以及与介绍人的关系。如:
Bob, let me introduce my friend Peter. Peter, this is my friend Bob.
Tang Lin, I want to introduce my friend, Jane.
介绍后,被介绍双方的客套语:
I’m pleased/glad/delighted to meet you.
It’s nice to meet you.
常用省略形式:Pleased / Glad to meet you.
25. reach agreement意为“达成协议”,依据第二句的主谓关系,应使用被动语态,故首先排除B、C两项; 从句意看,第一句的动作在前,第二句的动作在后,故第二句不可使用过去完成时。
26. the way后的定语从句可以由that引导,也可以由in which引导,故首先排除B、C项;what引导宾语从句时,既有词义,又在宾语从句中作句子成分,而that引导宾语从句时,只起引导作用,不在宾语从句中作句子成分。题干中宾语从句缺宾语,因而选A。
27. way作“方法”、“方式”、“手段”解时,其后可跟动词不定式或“of+v-ing”作定语,构成a way of doing/to do结构,意为“做…的方法”。way之前用介词in表示“用…方法”。
28. 句意,一个子弹击中了这名士兵他的腿受伤了。
29. 本题考查词的辨析。从语法上讲四个选项都正确,但是able用在此处语义不通;probable和possible作表语时都不用人作主语; likely作表语时既可以人作主语也可物作主语。
句意为:在写求职信的时候,心中要有数这位准雇主最有可能想知道什么。
31. 本题考查根据语境选用连词的能力。解题的关键是第一句I’m going to the post office。由于已说要去邮局,再用条件从句就不合适。故排除D项。A、C两项也不符前文语境。故选B。
33. 由于他不能像往常一样去散步,是因为有许多作业要做,所以用不定式表示将来
35. 如果选用D项,and后应该使用被动语态。
三、完形填空
36-40 DBACB??? ?41-45 DCDCA??46-50 CAABC?? ?51-55 BDBCC 重点解析:
36.上一句说到孩子们遇到问题时往往不会解决,因此他们需要学会如何去解决。这是一句省略语,是承接上一句而来的。后面补充起来应是...how to deal with it。 37. take the time to do sth. 意为“花时间(从容地)做某事”,正好与后一句相照应。 38. 表示按照某种方式。 39. 此句的意思是,问题总是在最不该发生的时候发生,即:发生问题的时候是人最不愉快、最没有准备的时候。exact所指意义不清, 而ordinary, usual均与burst upon(突然发生)意义矛盾。 40. 本文中心是谈(帮助)教会小孩学会解决问题的方法、技巧,而不是去实践它。且skill是不和watch或follow搭配的。 41. 找到出现问题的原因是学会解决问题的方法之一。 42. 这种技巧的学习不是无师自通的,而是需要帮助的。not...without构成否定之否定,这里是肯定学习的必要性。 44. 在上文的基础上,论述的观点在推进、深入。第二步就是学会如何独立地解决问题,这是前一种学习的升华。其余几项从逻辑、层次上都不符。 45. 独立解决问题最需要的是有这种勇气。从下一句可以得出这一结论。 46. 从后文可知,此处应为answer(方案)。 48. 对小孩所做出的正确选择要肯定、表扬。encourage, support是在结果之前所需要做的事, 不妥; congratulate的结构是congratulate sb. on sth,也不妥;praise sb. for doing sth.表示“因……而表扬某人”。 49. law在此的意思是“规律,规则”。本段进一步深入,谈到要让小孩看清事物发生的因果规律。后文一直是在对此继续阐述。若是relation则后应跟between cause and effect。 50. 小孩喜欢在墙上随意写写画画。这里是列举孩子们最不经意的事来说明因果之间的规律。happen to do sth.表示 “碰巧做某事”; choose to do sth. 表示 “选择做某事”,都与文意不合; consider后应该是doing sth.。 51. 在墙上画就要留下痕迹。mark表示“痕迹”; line表示“线段”; point表示“点”; drawing表示“图画”,在此处都不确切。 52. on the road to 表示“在……过程中”,此句意思是“懂了这一点,就说明他是在成长”。 53. 根据文意,这里只能用tell一词。tell在此处的意思是“说明,解释,分辨”;know只表示内心“知道,明白”; show表示“用行动、动作给别人展示”; declare表示用语言来“宣称,断言”。此处是说小孩能(用语言)说明事情之所以如此。
四、阅读理解
56—60ACDAB 61—65CDDBC 66—70 CCDAC 71—75 BCCBA
重点解析:
56. 正确选项是A。从第一段中:My eyes were fixed on the word "congratulations." I don't remember ever smiling so wide. 可以证明,表示作者心情的。
57. 正确答案是C。文中第四段:My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. 可以看出,他的父母是十分支持他的。而作者本人的心情是:But as I was always careful with money, I wasn't sure what to do. 这中间充分展示出人物间的新型互爱关系,父母关心儿子的前程,儿子体谅家庭的经济困难。
58. 正确答案是D。下划线的文字"offered me a full ride" 直译为"提供我全程乘车"。这是十分幽默的语言,更为有趣的是这所院校还:... had an informational dinner one night in the spring.
59. 正确选项是A。依据文中最后一段:In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my "dream" university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me
60. 总结归纳题。A有较大干扰性。从..., or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future interests可以看出可交换的是赚得的利益,而不是投资的钱,因此A不合题意。答案B是对inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future interests的总结。
61.推理判断题.首先我们应该理解basic services 指hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways 等,从第三段The Government, local organizations, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending,...得知basic services 需要持续不断的财政支持。
62. 细节题。从最后一段首句得此答案。在这一句中his or her employers即指本题中的Government, local organizations, nationalized industries.
63. 词意推测题.买股票的人都想赚钱,invest his money意思是"投资; 入股",因此D为最佳答案。
64. 据下一句的意思和两句间的关系。下一句讲到刘翔获得了一枚铜牌;从but可知两句间是转折关系。因此,该句应指亚洲的运动员在前两天没有取得好成绩。
65. 从下文"After I did that, I thought I might just get into the top six."可知。
67. 根据短文大意可知C选项是正确的。短文中没有讲到他是最年轻的运动员,因此A选项是错误的;B选项与第二段第一句意思不符;D选项与最后两段意思不符。
68. 从第三段可知Michael Jackson是刘翔喜欢的歌星而不是运动员。从第五段可知Allen Johnson 第一,Garcia第二, Colin Jackson第五。
五、书面表达
One possible version:
??? In everyday life we often see some beggars begging in the streets or subways. Recently some big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have passed the law to ban beggars from subways. We have had a discussion about it.
??? 46% of the students are against the idea. They think it is not right for the government to forbid beggars begging in subways. Some beggars really have difficulties in making a living. They play music in subways to survive. We shouldn’t look down upon these people. The society should take some measures to help them.
 ? On the other hand, 54% of the students are for the idea. They think beggars won’t do any good to our city’s image. Beggars make a lot of trouble for the city. What’s worse, some beggars are just taking advantage of other people's compassion to make easy money. So the government should forbid beggars public places.

Text 10
Because of the fast pace of American life, many families cannot eat together around the family table evening. Many people have to be at work during the normal dinner hours.
For this reason, fast-food restaurants became very popular. These restaurants serve foods such as hamburgers, tacos and French fries. Fast-food restaurants are really fast. You don't have to wait a minute or two for your food. They are also convenient. You may dress casually, and in some places you can even order from your car and drive away with your food without going into the restaurant. Finally, fast-food restaurants are inexpensive.
Fast food has its shortcomings, too. Most fast-food meals are not very healthy. They are often high in fats and low in other important nutrients. It is advisable not to eat too much fast food.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
This day three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop in England and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus — the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different, they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well if he/she knows that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will probably leave you thirsty.
At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could cause trouble. Also, you should try to avoid touching the head of an adult — it's just not done in Thailand.
21.The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way because the gentlemen ________.
A. were foreigners
B. didn't have tickets
C. made a loud noise
D. didn't line up for the bus
答案与解析 D 在第一自然段的最后,有这样的句子:No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus — the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.从此句可知那三位先生并不知道在英国乘车的习惯,所以答案是D。
22.According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country,you should ________.
A. learn the language of the country
B. understand the manners and customs of the country
C. have enough time and money
D. make friends with the people there
答案与解析 B 答案在第二自然段的第二个句子。
23.In India it is considered impolite ________.
A. to use the right hand for passing food at table
B. to pass food with the left hand
C. to eat food with your hands
D. to help yourself at table
答案与解析 B 可在第二自然段直接找到答案。
24.The best title for this article is ________.
A. People's Everyday Life
B. Mind Your Manners
C. Shaking and Nodding Head
D. Taking a Bus in England
答案与解析 B 通读全文就会发现,只学习一门外语是不够的,还要多了解该国的风俗习惯,否则就会遇到麻烦,所以答案是B。
B
When you put brand-name clothes on, you feel cool! You look good ,and you feel good about yourself, too.
I once saw a boy wearing brand names all over his body. He looked like the cover of a magazine. He was breathtaking! But, he took my breath away because I was laughing at how silly he looked. Maybe he thought he would feel better about himself by dressing that way. But I thought he just looked stupid.
The truly cool kids don't need clothes to make themselves feel cool; they are confident about themselves no matter what they wear. When we look for cool friends to hang out with, we shouldn't always choose the best-dressed because they may only think of their appearance. Such people aren't cool friends.
So don't care too much about wearing brand names, but do try to look good. Appearance matters, but it isn't everything,and we shouldn't spend all our money buying the latest brand-name fashion. Let's save money for more fun things!
Brand-name clothes:To Wear or Not to Wear Nike, Guess, Levi's ... these are some of the foreign brand names I see in Shanghai. Many boys and girls like them. When they wear them they get more attention in school. And most importantly, the clothes look good.
But have you ever thought of this question: Who paid for your brand-name clothes? Most of these clothes are pretty expensive and your parents are the ones paying the cash. Do you feel good spending tons of your parents' money on your clothes?
The best idea is to buy clothes that look great on you. Your parents won't have to spend so much money on your clothes. Of course, you may buy one or two brand-name clothes and wear them sometimes!
25.The passage suggests with brand names all over your body ________.
A. you're sure to look cool
B. you may look stupid
C. you'll look charming
D. you will be laughed at
答案与解析 B 穿名牌本身没有错,关键是得不得体,钱是不是你自己挣的,否则你看起来会很愚蠢。
26.The truly cool kids are those who ________.
A. wear the best clothes
B. don't care for their appearance
C. are confident of themselves
D. don't wear brand-name clothes
答案与解析 C 第三段前面两句话是答案依据。
27.From the text we know ________.
A. all students like to wear Nike,Guess and Levi's
B. most students buy the brand-name clothes with their own money
C. the brand-name clothes don't look nice
D. it's silly often to ask your parents to buy brand-name clothes for you
答案 D
28.It seems that the passage is telling us ________.
A. how to wear clothes
B. not to wear brand-name clothes
C. fashion is not all
D. what is really cool
答案与解析 C 这其实是文章的论点,能够穿名牌当然好,但要注意得体,要注意钱是不是自己挣的,更重要的是,穿上名牌并不代表一切。真正酷的人不在乎名牌,而是对自己的自信。
C

New rules and behaviour standards(行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle school are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won't only have high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth.
Have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam? Don't do it again! That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school.
Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.
Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others,not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas.
Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you'll discover Earth Ⅱ some day. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself.
Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don't let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully.
The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren't for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Can't you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some:
http://kidseastday, com; http://www. chinakids.net. cn.
32.The school new rules will help kids by telling them ________.
A. how they can study well
B. what they should do at school
C. what is right and what is wrong
D. how they can protect themselves
答案与解析 C 本文主要介绍了中学生新行为规范中主要的几个条款,即黑标题部分内容,讲述了学生该做什么不该做什么等,因此,C项为正确答案。
33. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Take care of yourself when you are out.
B. Tell the truth,even when you are wrong.
C. Keep some animals to protect them.
D. Use the Internet, but keep away from bad things.
答案与解析 C 本题可以采用排除法,A选项与Protect yourself.的内容相符合;B选项与Tell the truth.的内容相符合;D选项与Use the Internet carefully.中的内容相符合;文中没有提到“养动物保护它们”,所以选项C与原文不符,因此本题应选C项。
34. The main idea of the fourth paragraph is about ________.
A. making the team stronger
B. working together with others
C. being a good friend to others
D. getting on well with others
答案与解析 B 根据第四段中的“Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others,not only yourself.”可知强调团结,与人友好,为别人着想,因此,B项为正确答案。
35. The passage tells us how to ________.
A. be top students B. do more at school
C. care for others D. use the Internet
答案与解析 A 根据全文可知文章第一段中的“Middle schools are going to use a new way to decide who the top students are.”是文章的主要意思。

Jane gave the customer a small sales slip that came out of the register (自动记录器). She counted out the __41__ carefully and put it in the man's hand. The man thanked her and left.

In ten minutes the store would __44__. Jane wondered whether she had made any mistakes. Suppose she had less money in her register than what was __45__ on the sales slips.

Jane put it into the cash (现金) register and gave the man __50__ change.

__53__, Jane got mad. She __54__ said, “You're wrong.” Then she __55__ that the manager had told her not to __56__ back to customers.

答案与解析 
41.D 简给了顾客购物发票并仔细数了数零钱放在男人手中,由倒数第四段最后一句也可得到答案。change在这里指“零钱、找头”。A、B两项太具体,文中没有提示。
42.C 从下一句商店在10分钟后关门可以知道,她一天的工作即将结束。联系下文可排除其他选项。
43.B 联系上文的It was good以及后面的she was really tired and her feet hurt可知前后为转折关系。good与tired,hurt间为转折关系,因此排除其他选项。
44.B 由上文Jane结束了工作并在回顾一天的工作感受可知10分钟后商店就要关门了。end表“结束”,一般不用于商店关门。
45.B 从空后的on the sales slips我们知道,自动记录器将销售的总额打在购物发票上。total在这里是动词,意思是“统计”。根据常识可知,收银机里的钱数应同购物发票上打出来的钱数一致,故排除其他三项。
46.C 从空后的May I please have this pen可以知道有个人过来买东西。come over“过来”。come out“出来;发芽”;come on“快点”,come down“走下来”,均不合文意。
47.C 那个人要买钢笔,因此他举起那支钢笔让Jane看一下需要花多少钱。look for“寻找”,turn in“上缴”,point out“指出;提出”。
48.D 从空后的$0.79可以知道上面标注了价格。cost“花费”,prize“奖金”均与文意不符。
49.A 由下句Jane把它放入收银机可知,男人拿起笔来的同时给了钞票。由第47空后的bill也可得到提示。check意思是“支票”,一般买这么便宜的物品不会用到支票。
50.B Jane给那人找了零钱。extra意思是“额外的”,指比实际的要多。联系上下文我们知道Jane最担心的是找错钱,因此她不会多给。
51.C 从下文You shortchanged me可以知道那人以Jane少给他找了零钱为由让她等一下。联系下文排除其他选项。
52.B 联系下一段中第四句话“突然她意识到她不确定那张钞票是5美元还是10美元的”,及其下一句“这是5美元零钱”,可得此答案。其他三项不符合文意。
53.B 从下文的Then可以得此答案:刚开始,Jane差点发狂了。分析事情的发展情况可以排除其他选项。
54.B 由她想到经理的话可以知道她没有顶撞那人,因此说她几乎说出“你错了”。其他三项都表示Jane说出了那句话,与文意相矛盾。
55.D 从空后的the manager had told her可以推知她记起了经理曾经告诉她的话。如选A项,则应为think of the words of the manager。
56.C 联系上文她没有对顾客说出You are wrong可以推断经理告诉过她不要顶撞顾客。talk back to sb.意思是“顶撞某人”。give back“归还;恢复”,go back“回来”,都与文意不符;quarrel通常不与back搭配。
57.D 从空后的whether the bill was a five or a ten我们知道,她对是一张五元还是十元的bill没有把握了。doubtful“怀疑的”,believable“可信的”都不能与其后的whether ... or ...搭配。
58.C 由上一句Jane现在不确定可知她一开始确信那个人给的是5美元,并且她没有找错钱,故两句为并列关系。其他三项所表示的逻辑关系都不对。
59.D 从空后的内容我们可以得出tell的答案提示。tell与can连用,意思是“辨别”。其他选项搭配错误。
60.A 从空前的anger可以知道,她自己也不能辨别出自己是生气还是害怕。受到了顾客的指责不会高兴或自豪,故C,D不正确;联系上文可以知道Jane很好地控制住了自己,因此madness不合适。

Some experts say that the Chinese were the first people __61__ (discover) the land that is now called America.

If this is true, then they sailed much __64__ (far) than anyone else had at that time, and arrived in America long __65__ Columbus. According to some experts, the Vikings also sailed __66__ America by crossing the Atlantic, probably from Greenland.
Some years ago, __67__ was difficult to persuade people that the Chinese and the Vikings risked their lives crossing oceans in search of other lands. Why would they look for __68__ (know) lands? More and more information has been collected now, however, and more and more reasons __69__ (find) for why the Chinese and Vikings might have made such long sea journeys.

Today I was having a PE lesson while I fell down and hurt my foot. I was in greatly pain at that moment, but I tried to act as if nothing had happened until the class is over. Though I had difficulty walk back to my classroom, I still didn't tell anyone but even refused the offer of help of classmates. As result, the hurt in my foot became worse. Now I know I'm wrong. We can tell others our need for help and accept his help. Some day we can not help others in return. In this way, we can get along to each other happy and peacefully.

范文 
Boys and girls,
New term has begun. Now I'd like to say something you should pay particular attention to at school.
As a student of good manners,first,we should show respect for others, no matter whether they are your teachers or your classmates. Second, you shouldn't look about while you're talking with others. It may mean rudeness. Use body language as much as you can. Say hello to one another when you meet and also remember to say goodbye when you depart. Third, shaking hands with others will be accepted as a good habit. But it is a bad habit to run after one another between classes. At last I hope all the students in our class will be polite not only at school but also at home.
Wish you happy in the new term!

The contractor (订约人) was 20 to see his good worker go & asked if he could build just one more house as a 21 . The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his 22 was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used 23 materials. It was an 24 way to end a dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to 25 the house. Then he handed the 26 to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."
The carpenter was 27 !
What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so 28 .
So it is with us. We build 29 , a day at a time, often putting 30 our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we 31 we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.
But, you cannot 32 . You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your 33 , and the choices you make today, help build the "house" you will live in tomorrow. 34 , build 35 !

第三部分:阅读理解
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
We convey (传达) information through the position and movement of the body. We often use gestures or body movements to stress what we are saying. For example, when I lecture (演讲), I often use my hands to emphasize (强调) points or point to something on the blackboard. Some people use them more than others. The victory (胜利) sign, the OK sign, the goodbye wave and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in America. It is important to recognize, however, that most gestures are not universally recognized. For example, although the OK gesture means acceptance in America, it has other meanings in other cultures. In France it means worthlessness. And in Greece, it is considered obscene (淫秽).
There are some sex differences in nonverbal behavior. In American culture, men tend to sit or stand with legs apart and hands outward, while women tend to keep legs together and hands at their sides. Women are also better than men at understanding nonverbal gestures.
A nonverbal behaviour is to have the tongue just slightly protruding (突出) from the mouth. A study showed that people were less willing to approach others who had their tongues showing. Perhaps this is why people often tend to avoid individuals with bad nonverbal behaviours. When we make decisions about other people, we learn to recognize nonverbal cues (提示) and interpret (理解) them along with verbal information.
36. From the passage we can know that ________.
A. body language in America is more popular than in other countries
B. the deferent cultures share the same body languages
C. the same gestures in deferent cultures may have the deferent meanings
D. body language is more important than words
37. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Women’s body language is easier to understand.
B. Women have a better understanding of body language than men.
C. In American culture, men care more about their gestures than women.
D. In American culture, men and women always employ the deferent gestures.
38. It may be concluded from this passage that ________.
A. body language can completely replace words
B. different cultures share different nonverbal behaviours
C. body language sounds louder than verbal information
D. body language can be helpful for us to communicate with each other
B
Most good interviewers will make an effort to establish and keep eye contact. Make sure that you do not find yourself looking down or away. If you wear glasses, be sure to buy the non-glare lenses. Do not stare.
Rapidly nodding your head can leave the impression that you are impatient and too eager to add something to the conversation -- if only the interviewer would let you. Slower nodding, on the other hand, emphasizes interest, shows that you are validating (确认) the comments of your interviewer, and encourages him to continue. Tilting (倾斜) the head slightly, when combined with eye contact and a natural smile, shows friendliness and approachability (可接近的).
Your smile is one of the most powerful positive body signals. Everybody looks better when they smile. Offer an unforced, confident smile. Avoid at all costs the technique that some applicants use: grinning idiotically (白痴般地裂口笑) for the length of the interview, no matter what. This will only communicate that you are insincere (虚假的).
It’s worth remembering that the mouth provides a seemingly limitless supply of opportunities to convey weakness. This may be done by touching the mouth frequently; "faking" a cough when confused with a difficult question; and /or gnawing (咬) on one’s lips absentmindedly (茫然地). Employing any of these "insincerity signs" when you are asked about say, why you lost your last job, will confirm (确认) or instill (慢慢灌输) suspicions about your honesty.
39. The mouth may make your weakness known by ________according to the passage.
A. pretending to be coughing B. having an unforced smile
C. blowing a kiss D. showing your teeth
40. The main purpose of this text is to ________.
A. tell you how to communicate with others effectively.
B. show you how to make yourself more understandable
C. remind you of respecting the interviewer.
D. give you some advice on facial signals for job interviews
41. What does the underlined word “suspicion” in the last paragraph mean?
A. understanding B. uncertainty C. expression D. agreement
42. Which facial signal can cause you to lose an opportunity of being employed?
A. Gnawing on one’s lips. B. A natural smile.
C. A natural smile. D. Touching the mouth occasionally.
C
About five states in Nigeria will experience a total eclipse (日蚀) of the sun on March 29, 2006, according to a forecast by the Ministry of Science and Technology this week.
An eclipse occurs in one of two ways: when the moon passes between the earth and the sun so that all or part of the sun cannot be seen for a time, or when the earth passes between the moon and the sun so that you cannot see all or part of the moon for a time. The first case is a solar eclipse or eclipse of the sun, which occurs as the earth enters the shadow of the moon. The second describes a lunar eclipse or eclipse of the moon, which happens when the moon enters the shadow of the earth.
More than 60 percent of Nigerians are uneducated, and eclipses in some parts of the country in the past have caused commotions in which people have been killed and property destroyed. Some Nigerians believe an eclipse is punishment from the gods for evil doing.
The March 29th eclipse would be the fifth in Nigeria’s history, and it is expected to last for 30 minutes — 9:15AM to 9:45AM, according to the official prediction. Nigeria witnessed eclipses in 1898, 1947, 1959, and 2001.
The shadows in an eclipse have a central dark part called umbra, and a less dark external section called penumbra. In the umbra, all the sun’s light is cut off, and this is called total eclipse; while in the penumbra, only a part of the light from the sun is cut off from the moon, and it is called partial eclipse.
Five Nigerian states — Oyo, Kwara, Niger, Zamfara, and Katsina — are expected to have total eclipse, while other parts of the country will experience partial eclipse.
43. This passage is mainly written to ________.
A. predict a eclipse of the sun in Nigeria
B. compare a eclipse of the sun with a eclipse of the moon
C. provide information on a coming eclipse of the sun in Nigeria
D. show that people in Nigeria receive little education
44. If this passage is taken from a newspaper, which section is the passage probably from?
A. Entertainment. B. Economy. C. Education. D. Science.
45. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. What Is an Eclipse
B. How Foolish People in Nigeria Are
C. Nigeria Expects Solar Eclipse
D. Solar Eclipse Happens on March 29, 2006

阅读下面短文,根据文章内容回答下列问题。
There are a lot of differences between Americans and Chinese in romance. The main differences are in physical actions and oral expression. In physical actions, Americans are more open. They hug each other when they meet together and give kisses to each other when they want to express their love. They share their emotions directly.
Unlike Americans, Chinese are shy about showing their feelings physically. They always keep their emotions under control. The only romantic hint is to hold hands with each other in their own room. They take working hard and being responsible as ways to show their romantic feelings to their spouses (配偶). In oral expression, Americans say sweet words to each other any time, such as "I love you", "Honey", etc. They send cards to show the feelings of apology and being sorry, greetings and appreciation. Americans are open-minded. In contrast, Chinese rarely say "I like you" to each other. Even if they do something wrong, they don’t apologize to their spouses. They think that there is nothing to be sorry for between a couple. They believe that buying gifts for each other is a waste of money. They think that to do their best and support the family in the wealthy condition shows their love to the spouse. That is much better than saying sweet words. In conclusion, Americans are open and direct, but Chinese are shy. There is really a lot of difference in romantic expression between the American and Chinese.
46. How do Americans show romance in a physical way?

One possible version:
Dear friends, I’m very glad to have the chance to speak to so many classmates here at present. Today I’d like to talk about how middle school students should deal with their pocket money properly. As is known to all, we can easily get pocket money from our parents if we want to. But it is no good for us spending it at will. In my opinion, we may spend some on books and magazines, from which we can get a lot of knowledge and pleasure. If we love music, sports or stamp collecting, we can develop the interests in them by using some of our pocket money. On the other hand, if possible, we’d better put some in the bank, which will help us form the habit of thrift. Don’t you think so? I really hope you will give me your opinions about it. Thank you.

重点解析
1. D。university读音是以辅音音素开头,所以用a;art在这里指“美术,艺术”,是泛指,所以前面不加the。
2. B。prevent常用prevent sb (from) doing sth结构,表示“防止;预防”;avoid意为“避免”,后面跟名词或动词-ing形式作宾语;protect意为“保护”;allow意为“允许”。根据句意,“虽然Tyron很生气,但是他头脑很冷静”,就不会做不恰当的事情,也不会“冲进领导的办公室”,所以用avoid最合适。
3. B。根据句意,“在这张地图上,这颗红星____中国的首都。”红星与首都在此只能是代表的关系,所以不能用A(告诉)、C(代替)或者D(意味着),所以选B,represent意为“代表”。
4. D。本句选用过去进行时,指那时动作正在发生。
5. C。usually意为“通常”;curiously意为“好奇地;奇怪地”;similarly意为“类似地”;particularly意为“独特地;显著地”。根据句意,“通过锻炼来强健身体”与“通过学习来提高智力”之间具有一种类比的关系,所以用similarly最合适。
6. B。in a word意为“总之;一句话;总而言之”;in general意为“大体上;一般地”;in all意为“总共”;in total意为“总共”。通过句意可以看出,“大多数青少年喜欢听摇滚乐”是一种一般的普通的情况,所以选B。
7. A。significant意为“有意义的;重大的;重要的”;major意为“主要的;重要的;大的”;considerate意为“考虑周到的”;greater意为“更大的”。根据句意,这里指“一个比较重大的改变”,用more来修饰,不能用major,因为major本身已经具有“比较”的含义;greater只能用much来修饰;considerate不合题意,所以选significant。
8. B。what if这里指“如果……将会怎样”,表示对一种假设的提问;if only指“要是……就好了”;as if意为“好像”;even if意为“即使”。根据句意,这里应选A。
9. D。根据后半句说,“工厂确认足以满足人们的需要”,那么前提应该是“生产各种各样的钢琴”应该已经成为事实,所以用现在完成时,动词-ing形式作状语。
10. B。encourage意为“鼓励”;express意为“表达”;explain意为“解释”;exchange意为“交流”。句意为:学会很好地表达自己,是现代教育的一个很重要的内容。
11. C。attitude to / towards指“对……的态度”;appearance指“出现”;approach指“方法;途径”,后常接to;altitude指“海拔;高度”。根据句意,这里指一种“教学方法”,所以用approach。注:Big6 Model 的全称是Big6 Model of Information Problem-Solving,指Big6信息问题解决模式,属于“问题解决”式的研究学习。
12. C。keep in touch with意为“保持联络”;within reach of意为“离得很近;在范围内”;out of touch with意为“失去联系;不再了解情况”;out of reach of意为“够不着”。
句中指曾祖父对现代潮流不闻不问,所以选C。
13. A。交际用语。由情景可知,B将一本书借给了A,A觉得这本书很有趣,故B说“我很高兴你喜欢”,A接着说:“谢谢你借给了我这么长的时间”。That’s all right回答感谢和道歉;Don’t mention it(别人道谢时回答)不客气;I hope you like it指期望对方喜欢,而事实是对方的确很喜欢,所以选A。
14. A。must have done表示对过去情况有把握的推测。
15. C。常用sb / sth be likely to do或it’s likely +从句,表示“可能”;certain表示“确定的”;probable后常跟that从句表示“很有可能”;be sure to do sth指“一定;务必去做某事”。
16. A。第一句说“老木匠准备退休了”,由此可以得知,他要离开建房子的行业。但是并没有avoid(避开、躲避)的意思,更不是lead(领导)、gain(获得)的意思。
17. C。“enjoy his extended family”指享受家庭带来的天伦之乐。respect指“尊敬”;cheer指“欢呼”;satisfy指“满足;使满意”,三项都不合语境。
18. D。因为退休后就没有薪水了,所以用miss the paycheck表示“得不到薪水”。depend on指“依靠;依赖”;receive指“收到;接到”;benefit from指“受益于”。
19. B。前后是转折关系。虽然没有薪水了,但他还是想退休,因为生活还能过得去。
20. A。从后文的good worker可以看出,他在老板的眼中,是个好工人,所以老板对他的退休表示“遗憾”,而不是B(高兴的)、C(失望的)、D(愉快的;高兴的)。
21. B。老板请他在离去之前,再帮忙建一座房子,所以用“a personal favour”。service指“服务”;work指“工作”;end指“结局”,都不合语境。
22. C。从后文他对建房子的态度可知,“他的心思(heart)已经不在工作上了。”curiosity指“好奇心”;energy指“精力”;patience指“耐性”。
23. A。他这座房子没有建好,是因为用的是劣质材料。
24. D。他建的这座劣质房子竟然成了老板送给自己的礼物,以如此方式结束自己的事业,不能不说是一种“不幸”。
25. C。inspect有“检查”的意思,房子建成后,老板来验收房子,而不是A(卖)、B(买)、D(赞美)。
26. B。因为老板说“房子是你的了,我给你的礼物”,自然递给他的是房门的“钥匙”。
27. A。木匠没有想到自己建的这座房子竟然是给自己的,所以听到老板的话,木匠的反应只能是“震惊”(shocked)。
28. D。如果知道房子是为自己建的,他就不这样了,会以不同的方式建房子。differently指“不同地”;secretly指“秘密地”;rapidly指“迅速地”;willingly指“欣然地”。
29. B。本文作者把“建房子”比作“创造生活”,所以选life。
30. A。在创造生活的时候,有时会像木匠那样犯“不尽心尽力”的错误。less than指“小于”;more than指“多于”;no more than指“只是”;no less than指“正如”。
31. C。realize指“意识到”的意思。句意为“突然意识到,我们将不得不住进我们自己建造的房子”,这里指一种醒悟,所以不能用promise(允许)、decide(决定)、consider(考虑;照顾)。
32. D。这里指生活不会重来。一旦已经建成了房子,那么就不能返回。go back指“回去”;throw away指“扔掉;丢弃”;throw off指“扔开;脱掉”;go ahead指“前进”。
33. B。从全文来看,木匠错就错在他的态度不对,自以为这是最后一座房子,因而没有尽心尽力地去完成,导致最后的遗憾,所以这里作总结的时候,“态度”是很重要的一个内容,同时还包含“你现在所做的决定”,将决定你未来的生活。
34. A。根据tomorrow(明天),意指“未来”,可以确定用将来时。
35. D。根据木匠的经验,这里作者给读者提出了建议,希望今天做的每件事情都是认认真真地做的,所以应该给自己营造一个很好的环境。所以simply(简单地)、personally(亲自)、gradually(逐渐地)都不符合语境,wisely指“明智地”。
36. C。文中举例说到了许多关于美国的身势语的内容,但是并没有说身势语在美国就比在其他国家更流行,所以A错误;从第一段中“… most gestures are not universally recognized”以及后文关于表达OK的身势语在不同国家表示的不同含义,说明身势语在不同文化环境中表达的含义是不相同的,所以B错误,而C刚好表达了这样的意思,所以C正确;全文讲述了身势语在日常交流中的重要作用,但是并不是说比语言更重要,所以D错误。
37. B。第二段主要讲述了由于性别的不同,从而在非语言行为中也存在着许多不同,而女性比男性更能很好地理解身势语,所以B项正确。A项说,女性的身势语比较容易理解,与文意有悖;C项,在美国文化中,男性比女性更关注姿态,而文中主要是介绍了男性与女性在站着或坐着时的不同姿态的介绍,所以不能得出本结论;从第二段第一句“There are some sex differences in non-verbal behaviour”知,有一些差异,但并不是D说的“always have different gestures”。
38. D。从最后一段知,我们可以通过结合非语言(如身势语)的提示,透过语言信息来了解一个人,所以D项说,身势语可以帮助了解一个人,是正确的。A项说身势语决定了一个人的个性,未免有失偏颇;B项说语言信息不如身势语有用,显然不对,文中意思是身势语能够辅助了解一个人;C项说身势语比语言信息有效,也是不正确的。
39. A。A项说假装正在咳嗽,这是用来掩饰内心虚弱的一种方式,从文中最后一段可以看出;B(从容不迫地微笑)、C(飞吻)、D(露出牙齿地笑)都是自信的表现。
40. A。根据文中最后一段可以看出,咬嘴唇是“convey weakness”的一种方式,所以如果在面试的时候,老有这样的表现的话,那就很容易丧失掉这次机会。自然的微笑、自然的眼神交流以及偶尔摸嘴,都不是很大的问题。
41. B。根据前面“insincerity signs”以及问道“为什么会失去上次的工作”知,对待这样不真诚的行为,面试者就会更加肯定“对你的忠诚度”的“怀疑”。understanding指“理解”;uncertainty指“不确定”;expression指“表达”;agreement指“同意;一致”。
42. D。全文主要讲解了关于面部表情的建议,所以D正确。“如何有效地与人交流”、“如何让别人更能理解自己的意思”、“提醒你要尊敬面试者”都不是本文的主要意思。
43. C。该文主要介绍的是即将在尼日利亚发生的日食。故选C。
44. D。文中很明确地介绍了日蚀是怎样发生的,以及日全食与日偏食的原因等,所以本文涉及的是日食方面的科普知识,故选D。
45. C。标题概括题。C项标题准确反映了本文的主题内容。
聚焦 -ing形式作状语
-ing形式作状语,可表示时间、原因、方式、伴随、条件等。如:
1. She sat at the desk reading a newspaper. (伴随)

Lin Pu is excited, but very nervous. He just got his driver’s license last week and yesterday bought his brother-in-law’s old car. Today, he is driving in the city for the first time.Taxis are going in every direction. People are
crossing the street without paying attention to
the cars, and the people riding bikes never look
before they turn.
Just then, the traffic light in front of him turns
red and the car in front of him stops suddenly.
Lin Pu quickly turns to the right to avoid
hitting the car in front of him. Crash! He hits a bicycle and knocks over a basket full of apples. Then he sees a policeman, walking toward him.C: Look what you did! All my apples are on the road! You must pay for them!P: Driver, What were you thinking? You
didn’t stay in your lane! You’ll have
to pay a fine for this.
L: I’m sorry. I was just trying not to hit
that car in front of me. I’ve just got
my licence and I’m not used to
driving in the city. C: I don’t care if he is used to it or not!
Shouldn’t he have to pay for my
apples, sir?
P: Well, he’ll certainly need to pay a fine
for breaking this traffic rule. You two
will need to discuss what to do about
the apples.L: I don’t have any money. I spent it all
on this car!
C: Well, then at least you can pick up my
apples!
P: You can sell that car or something else,
but you must pay this fine by the end
of the month.

communication (非言辞交际) without
using words. Eye contact or gaze, facial
expression, gesture, and posture (姿势),
or the way you stand, are different kinds
of body language.Look at the pictures. How are they feeling?happyexcitedsadangryIt is so difficult to make a choice. I don’t know what to do.I can’t believe she said that! That is so unfair.confused angryI’ve lost my wallet. There

one and act it out without speaking. SummaryJust like verbal language(言辞), body language
is part of culture. It plays an important role in
daily communication. So, it is very important
to understand and use it correctly. And for a
foreign language learner, it is as necessary to
learn the body language as to learn the verbal
language.Is body language all the same in
different cultures? Body language varies from
culture to culture, though
some are universal. It is
determined to some extent
by social and cultural
practices. Universal gesturesI am tired.I am full.I am hungry. press palms/rest

follow the customs of the people who live in
that place, not our own customs. Because
body language varies from culture to culture.
Not all members of all cultures behave the
same way. We should try to master and
respect each other’s culture in order to
make good communication. When in Rome, do as the Romans do!Homework Think of more actions to express
themselves instead of by words.

Body language
Workbook Listening task on page 62What do you suppose the listening will be about? 2 True or False? Chimps and humans have the same
body language.
2. Jane says that smiling makes chimps
look more friendly.
3. Humans always shout when they feel
angry.
4. Both chimps and humans want to feel
safe and protected.
5. We often show affection when we like
someone.F TF TT 1. Why do both humans and chimps
smile when they are nervous?
Because they hope an enemy will
not hurt them.Exercise 3:2. What things do both humans and
chimps do to make themselves look
dangerous and frightening?
Both humans and chimps stand up,
and try to make themselves look bigger
and more frightening by waving their
arms around or standing over the others.3. What do both humans and chimps
do to make their babies feel safe?
Both humans and chimps hold their
babies and hug and kiss them to make
them feel safe.4. How do bigger chimps make the small
ones feel safe? Do humans do things like
this?
Bigger chimps make the small ones
feel safe by touching them or kissing
and hugging them. Yes, humans will
do things like this if they want to make
their children feel safe. Do you remember Jane Goodall and her study of chimps? One of the things she reported on was how similar chimp body language is to human body language. HUMANS AND CHIMPS Listening text When we humans are worried or frightened, we sometimes smile in a nervous way. Chimps also look as though they are smiling when they are nervous, perhaps to make them look friendly so an enemy will not hurt them.
When we are angry, we often stand up, take a deep breath and put our hands on our sides to look bigger and stronger.We sometimes move close to another person and stand over them to make them feel smaller. We might shout loudly to frighten someone. When chimps are angry they also stand up and wave their arms around. They often walk quickly , throw things about and make noise. They are trying to make themselves seem bigger and more frightening. Chimps and humans want to feel safe and protected, so both chimp and human mothers hold their babies and hug and kiss them. Young chimps and children also love to play and enjoy each other’s company.
A similar thing is true for adults. We humans hug and kiss each other to show that we accept and love someone.When a powerful chimp frightens others, the smaller chimps will bend down or hold their heads low. They will hold out their hands as if they want to be friends. The bigger one will touch them or kiss them and hug them to make them feel safe.
So what do you think? Are we like chimps or are chimps like us? Look at the pictures and try to guess
what they are communicating from the
body language you see. 2. Listen to the tape and number the
pictures. Listening task on P65123456Shen Lei is meeting Julie, his Canadian

she knowsRead the passage again and then answer the following questions:Reading – IV ( 5m )Answer the following questions:Is the author of this passage male or female?
How do you know?
What were the two mistakes that the author noticed?The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author.He noticed that the Colombian man kissed the British woman, but in her culture , a kiss from a stranger is not acceptable. He also noticed that the Japanese man bowed just as the Canadian man started to shake hands, so one man’s nose touched the other man’s handWho seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others? Who seemed to prefer closer physical distance?
The British woman, Julia, and probably the Canadian man, George, seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others. The Colombian man, Tony, and the Jordanian man, Ahmed, seemed to prefer closer physical distance.4.Did any students have similar greeting customs? If so, which ones?
Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene from France had a similar greeting custom---- a kiss. George from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a similar greeting custom ---- a handshake, but Ahmed shakes hands only with men.5. “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.” what do you think this famous saying means?
6.Do you agree with the author’s statement that body language is not good or bad?This saying means that when we are in a certain place, we should follow the customs of the people who live in that place, not our own customs.Post-readingTask : discussionDo you think body language is important? Why? Homework:1. Recite the new words in the text. 2. Go over “Learning about language” 1, 2,And 3 on P27.

C: Look what you did! All my apples are on the road ! You must pay for them!
P: Driver , what were you thinking? You didn’t stay in your lane! You’ll have to pay a fine for this .L: I’m sorry! I was just trying not to hit that car in front of me . I’ve just got my licence and I’m not used to driving in the city .
C: I don’t care if he is used to it or not ! Shouldn’t he have to pay for my apples, sir?P: Well, he’ll certainly need to pay a fine for breaking this traffic rule .You two will need to discuss what to do about the apples .
L: I don’t have any money. I spent it all on this car!
C: Well, then at least you can pick up my apples!P: You can sell that car or something else, but you must pay this fine by the end of the mouth .
L: Oh, dear! Why did I ever buy a car?Listening on page 62What do you suppose the listening will be about? Exercise 1 Listen to the tape and decide whether they are true or false.1 Chimps and humans have the same body language.
2 Jane says that smiling makes chimps look more friendly.
3 Humans always shout when they feel angry.
4 Both chimps and humans want to feel safe and protected.
5 We often show affection when we like someone.F TF TT Why do both humans and chimps smile when they are nervous?
Because they hope an enemy will not hurt them.Exercise 2:2. What things do both humans and chimps do to make themselves look dangerous and frightening?
Both humans and chimps stand up, and try to make themselves look bigger and more frightening by waving their arms around or standing over the others.3. What do both humans and chimps do to make their babies feel safe?
Both humans and chimps hold their babies and hug and kiss them to make them feel safe.4. How do bigger chimps make the small ones feel safe? Do humans do things like this?
Bigger chimps make the small ones feel safe by touching them or kissing and hugging them. Yes, humans will do things like this if they want to make their children feel safe. Do you remember Jane Goodall and her study of chimps? One of the things she reported on was how similar chimp body language is to human body language. HUMANS AND CHIMPS Listening text When we humans are worried or frightened, we sometimes smile in a nervous way. Chimps also look as though they are smiling when they are nervous, perhaps to make them look friendly so an enemy will not hurt them.
When we are angry, we often stand up, take a deep breath and put our hands on our sides to look bigger and stronger.We sometimes move close to another person and stand over them to make them feel smaller. We might shout loudly to frighten someone. When chimps are angry they also stand up and wave their arms around. They often walk quickly , throw things about and make noise. They are trying to make themselves seem bigger and more frightening. Chimps and humans want to feel safe and protected, so both chimp and human mothers hold their babies and hug and kiss them. Young chimps and children also love to play and enjoy each other’s company.
A similar thing is true for adults. We humans hug and kiss each other to show that we accept and love someone.When a powerful chimp frightens others, the smaller chimps will bend down or hold their heads low. They will hold out their hands as if they want to be friends. The bigger one will touch them or kiss them and hug them to make them feel safe.
So what do you think? Are we like chimps or are chimps like us?1. Look at the pictures and try to guess what they are communicating from the body language you see.2. Listen to the tape and number the pictures. Listening task on P65click hereShen Lei is meeting Julie, his Canadian

6. Most people can understand each other if they try.TFAnswer questions.1. How can we know other’s feelings, even if they do not speak to us? We can watch the expressions on people’s faces; we can see whether they face us or look away; we can observe how they hold their arms and hands; we can see whether they are close to or far away from others. Are they smiling, frowning, shrugging, holding their arms in front of them or touching other people.2. Why should we be careful with our body language? We should be careful of our own body language, as we must be sure not to be impolite in other cultures, and we need to communicate without being misunderstood.3. Why is it important to watch as well as listen to others? We need to watch other people because they may be communicating one idea in words and a different one in body language.4. What are some jobs in which using body language is extremely important? Body language is very important in any job where clear communication with others is necessary. For example, teachers and medical care people should have good clear body language; anyone who is interviewing people for jobs(and the people being interviewed) should communicate clearly; anyone giving orders or directions needs good body language; people working in diplomatic jobs and in some government jobs.1.
