How do we use strong body language to make us seem powerful while making a speech Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America.
Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up” or “________”.
If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic.
Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see.
An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest!
Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger!
27. Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank “________”
A. This is me. B. I’m No.1. C. Who are you D. Why not

A. Making eye contact with people is helpful.

句意：在宋代音乐家开始使用二胡演奏不同类型的音乐，并成为相当流行的乐器。begin to do sth“开始做某事”，固定短语，所以空处用动词不定式，故填to use。
【50题详解】
句意：随着一些民间艺术的兴起，二胡艺术在明清时期发展迅速。some后跟form的复数形式，故填forms。
【51题详解】
句意：它成为不同民间音乐中一种重要的伴奏乐器。空后instrument是单数名词，空处表示泛指，且important首字母发元音音素，所以用不定冠词an修饰，故填an。
【52题详解】
句意：目前，它被用于传统和现代音乐，如流行音乐，摇滚和爵士乐。both...and...“既……又……；两者都”，固定搭配，故填and。
【53题详解】
句意：二胡演奏的最伟大的音乐作品之一是《二泉映月》。one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数“最……之一”，固定句型，所以空处用great的最高级greatest。故填greatest。
【54题详解】
句意：由于二胡主要是由普通人演奏，演奏技巧是口头相传的，很少能找到关于二胡的文字记录来研究它的历史和发展，历史学家通常求助于古代绘画。空处作定语修饰名词development，所以用it对应的形容词性物主代词its修饰，故填its。
【55题详解】
句意：最早的二胡图像发现于甘肃玉林洞和东千佛洞，在那里的壁画上发现了五幅二胡图像。“ Gansu Province”属于大地点，且“Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves”是在甘肃省内，所以其前用地点介词in，故填in。

How do we know the time A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of timekeeping (计时).
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was the tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday (正午). The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock, and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with the sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level (高度), it shows the hours. The Egyptians used the water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But people still couldn’t know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries, it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the exact time and allowed clocks to be smaller.
In1927, the first quartz (石英) watch was developed. Clocks became cheaper to make. It’s also cheaper for common people to own a clock. People began to depend on them more and more to run business, markets and so on.
More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
1. ________ of timekeeping
56. ________
57. ________
58. ________
59. ________
60. ________
【答案】56. different ways
57. changes
58. depended on
59. unable 60. necessary##important
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了历史上不同的计时方式
【56题详解】
根据“Over the centuries people have developed different ways of timekeeping (计时).”可知，本文是介绍历史上不同的计时方式。故填different ways。
【57题详解】
根据“Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday (正午).”可知，太阳钟是通过影子变化来得知什么时候是正午，change“变化”，可数名词，此处使用名词复数表示泛指。故填changes。
【58题详解】
根据“On cloudy days or at night, it was impossible to tell the time with the sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun.”可知，日晷仍然需要依靠太阳才能得知时间。depend on“依靠，依赖”，句子采用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填depended on。
【59题详解】
根据“The Egyptians used the water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But people still couldn’t know the exact time.”可知，水钟仍然不能告诉人们准确的时间，be unable to do sth.“不能做某事”。故填unable。
【60题详解】
根据“It’s also cheaper for common people to own a clock. People began to depend on them more and more to run business, markets and so on.”可知，人们在生活中越来越依赖钟表，也就是说钟表越来越有必要或重要。necessary“有必要的”，important“重要的”，二者均为形容词，作表语。故填necessary/important。

Dong Yuhui, a 30-year-old livestreaming (直播) host for East Buy (东方甄选) found himself in an online controversy (争议) that began on Dec.5, 2023.

How do we use strong body language to make us seem powerful while making a speech Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America.
Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up” or “________”.
If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic.
Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see.
An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest!
Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger!
27. Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank “________”
A. This is me. B. I’m No.1. C. Who are you D. Why not
28. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Making eye contact with people is helpful.
B. Characters can attract children by looking up.
C. The number is useful to the study on characters.
D. Many cereal boxes have characters looking down.
29. What’s the main purpose of the passage
A. To introduce Tony the Tiger. B. To tell people how to make a speech.
C. To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study. D. To help people have better body language.
30. What is the structure of the passage
A. B.
C. D.
