It was an unforgettable experience for me.
Once I had applied for the nuclear submarine programme, and Admiral Nelson was interviewing me for the job. We sat in a large room by ourselves for more than two hours, and he let me choose any subjects I wished to discuss. Very 1 , I chose those about which I knew most at the time— current events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics, electronics, gunnery — and he began to ask me a series of questions of increasing 2 . In each case, he soon proved that I knew relatively 3 about the subjects I had chosen.
He always looked right 4 my eyes, and never smiled. I was wet with cold 5 .
Finally, he asked me a question and I thought I could regain 6 . He said, “How did you

I was just human. I 12 my throat and finally said, “No, sir. I didn't always do my 13 .”
He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to 14 the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget or to answer. He said, “Why not? ” I sat there for a while, 15 , and then slowly left the room.

As an English speaker, you must know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you have to know — the language of the body, a part of what is called non-verbal communication. All over the world, people “talk” with their eyes. When Chinese people meet, they usually shake their hands. What do American and British do?
Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first name, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. ?
British people are more quiet. They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you home. ?
When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other. ?

This photograph was taken on August 14, 1945, the day the Allied Forces(盟军;联军) announced victory over Japan and World War II ended in the US. People were very emotional and streamed into Times Square, hugging and kissing each other. Today, over sixty years later, the photograph of the passionate kiss by a sailor on the lips of a surprised, white-uniformed nurse in Times Square has become the image of that day.
“It was a very long kiss,” recalls Edith Cullen Shain, the nurse in the historic photograph. “It was like a dance step — the way he took me in his arms.” Shain said she closed her eyes and never looked at the sailor. “I let him kiss me because he had been in a war and fought for me,” she said. Shain is now a great-grandmother living in California.
As everyone was celebrating, photographers were taking lots of pictures. This one was printed in a magazine a week later, but 27-year-old Shain was “too embarrassed” to come forward and admit she had been the nurse in the picture. It wasn't until thirty-four years later, after she had moved to California, married, had children, and changed her job from nursing to teaching that she admitted it. Life magazine photographer, Alfred Eisenstadt, who took the picture, flew to California to meet her, asked her questions and made sure that she was indeed the nurse in the picture. Unfortunately she and the sailor never spoke at the time of the kiss, so who the man is remains unknown, even though over 20 men have come forward to say they believe they were the one. “There were so many people kissing,” she said, “I think they all believe they are right.”
In 2005, a life-size colour-pained statue, by Seward Johnson, of the famous photograph was shown to the public in New York City's Times Square. “It's amazing,” said Shain after seeing the sculpture. “I think it means love, romance, peace and hope.”
And now, on the anniversary of that historic occasion, Times Square honours the US armed forces and the universal goals of peace, love and hope. There on August 15, hundreds of couples of all nationalities, colours, ages, and religions celebrate by kissing in the very spot where Shain was kissed by the sailor, recalling the joy of the end of war and the hope for a peaceful future.
6. People gathered together in Time Square on August 14, 1945 to __________.
A. take photos of the exciting moment in history
B. express their thanks to the soldiers
C. meet all the sailors from the war fields
D. celebrate the end of World War II
7. What is shown on the famous photo taken by Alfred Eisenstadt?
A. The celebration of the unforgettable event.
B. The romantic kiss of a young couple.
C. The passionate kiss of two strangers.
D. The anniversary celebration of the end of the war.
8. Edith Shain let the sailor kiss her because ___________.
A. the sailor had fought bravely for his country
B. the sailor had been in a war for a long time
C. the sailor was her lover
D. the sailor fell in love with her at first sight
9. When did the photo appear in a magazine?
A. On the same day it was taken. B. A few days after it was taken.
C. Thirty-four years after the big event. D. On August 15, 1945.
10. Why did people put up a life-sized colour-painted sculpture in Times Square?
A. Because the identity of the sailor remains a mystery.
B. Because it was a symbol of love and peace.
C. Because it was a great work of art by a famous sculptor.
D. Because the photo was deeply rooted in people's minds.

完形填空
1. C
解析:从文中几次提到的紧张、汗水等可以看出这次面试是作者比较在意的,因此很谨慎。
2. B
解析:逻辑推理。从后文看,他问的问题“我”难以招架,可判断问题的难度逐渐加大。
3. C
解析:后文有暗示。第二段讲到他从未笑过,以及“我”冷汗直冒可判断“我”对他提的问题知之甚少。因此要选表否定的词语little。
4. B
解析:语境推断。look into one's eyes直视某人的眼睛。
5. A
解析:逻辑推理。“我”答题不顺利,当然是冷汗直冒。
6. C
解析:逻辑推理。从后文“我”回答得很顺畅,可推断“我”想以此获得自信心。
7. A
解析:后文有暗示。从下文“. . . I stood fifty-ninth in a class of . . .”可得到暗示。
8. D
解析:逻辑推理。820人中排在59名应该非常优秀,“我”以为他会祝贺“我”,“我”也等着祝贺。而不是庆祝(celebrations)、期待(expectations)或评估(evaluations)。
9. B
解析:逻辑推理。他不仅没有祝贺“我”,取而代之又问了一个问题。instead取而代之。
10. A
解析:语境推断。让“我”回忆起了过去。tried尝试;analyzed分析;examined检查;均不合逻辑。
11. C
解析:逻辑推理。注意这里是when引导的定语从句,先行词是前面的my times。此题很容易把Georgia Tech当作先行词而误选答案where。
12. A
解析:语境推断。显然,“我”清了清嗓子。clear one's throat清嗓子。
13. B
解析:前文有暗示。前面“Did you do your best?”可得到暗示,显然这里是在回答那个问题。
14. D
解析:逻辑推理。从后文来看,他结束了对“我”的面试。
15. D
解析:逻辑推理。这次面试“我”彻底失败。不是感动(moved)、高兴(excited)、或害怕(frightened),而是虚脱了。shaken这里表示因虚脱而发抖。

This morning, after I finished my homework, I decided to go to the cinema to see a film. I was about to arrive at the cinema when I found a foreigner standing on the side of the road, looking nervous. Then I came up to him to see what was the matter with him. However, neither of us could understand each other. At last we both made ourselves understood with the help of body language. The foreigner wanted to go to the People's Park.

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things have come to represent, in fact, what I call 26 and love.
I don't remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did 27 the water. Any kind of 28 ride seemed to give pleasure. 29 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water the way my father did. I liked being 30 the water, moving through it, 31 it all around me. I was not a strong 32 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 33 . but I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father's office and 34 those summer days with my father, who 35 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 36 person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go 37 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 38 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 39 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn't be playing with his 40 . but my father always 41 and said easily, “Oh, no, it's 42 .” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 43 an ice cream…
A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is 44 .” and I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but 45 , in that childhood, looks at us.

Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home”, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American” is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. however, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.
46. More than 215 million people call America “home” because_______.
A. they have their houses there
B. they settle there now
C. they want to make their home there
D. they like that land very much
47. “Side-by-side” living style means _______.
A. to make friends with native people
B. to keep their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas
C. the groups of people who live nearby
D. that they get closer to American society
48. according to the passage, people in the USA ________.
A. share American customs and culture
B. live in a kind of “side-by-side” society
C. keep their own customs and habits firmly
D. make no choice to accept American customs
49. Which of the following statements is true?
A. They always stick to their own customs and habits.
B. “Side-by-side” living style is not suitable.
C. They face the society they are not familiar with.
D. The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful.
50. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Advantages and Disadvantages.
B. Different Customs and Habits.
C. Home for the People.
D. “Side-by-side” Living Style in America.

Toyota Motor Corp, Japan's biggest carmaker, said on Friday it will recall 1,489 Lexus sedans (高级轿车) sold in China. "It will take us some time to ship the fuel tanks and vent pipes to China to change those in these Lexus sedans for customers free of charge, if problems are found," said Yang Hongjian, a spokes- woman of Toyota's China representative office.
The expected recall will affect Lexus LS430 sedans made in Japan from July 29, 2003 to January 14, 2004, the representative office said in a statement. Toyota has not received complaints from Chinese customers, according to the statement. The move will be part of Toyota's global recall of 18,200 Lexus LS430s. It will be the third car recall in China in two weeks. Although automobile recall is a common practice in developed markets, it remains new to Chinese customers. The Chinese government published long-awaited automobile recall rules on March 15, which will be officially carried out at the beginning of October.
China's auto market is forecast to reach 10 million units by 2010. Automakers, especially Chinese producers, will face greater pressure from automobile recalls, which could be very costly sometimes, and should be in full preparations, according to the expert. The Japanese carmaker sold 1, 549 Lexus vehicles on the Chinese mainland during the first five months of this year, according to Yang.

_55_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It's great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there's never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _56_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _57_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
_58 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That'll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 59 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you'll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
A. That's easy.
B. Enjoy your own club!
C. Invite a designer to join you.
D. What are you interest in?
E. Some vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.

One possible version:
Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities. Some students think it's a good idea to keep pets because old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinion, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don't think it is bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.

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."

第三部分:阅读理解
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

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?

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.

56. and 57. him 58. person 59. other 60. something
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。
