A
simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will
cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that
gesture. A new finding suggests that parents, social workers, psychologists and
lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures
can be as informative as speech, but hand gestures are so common that we rarely
notice we're using them.
While
the recall of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion, the
memories of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University. Kids
are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if
not intentionally (故意地).
Previous
research, for example, has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false
answers; when asked, say "Did you drink juice at the picnic " the
child is likely to say "yes" even if no juice had been available. It
is not that the child is consciously lying, but rather the detail is quickly
formed into his or her memory.
To
avoid this problem, social workers have long been advised to ask children only
open-ended questions, such as "What did you have at the picnic " But
an open-ended question paired with a gesture, briefly meaning a juice box, is
treated like a detailed question. That is, children become likely to answer
falsely.
And
it isn't just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false
information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture. Gestures may
also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users, such as
little kids, Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of
unfamiliar words and phrases. "It certainly seems reasonable that adults
would gesture more with children."
In
general, Broaders advises parents and other adults to "Try to be aware of
your hands when questioning a child about an event. Otherwise, you might be
getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened. "
36．According to the text, gestures ____.
A．have not any function at all B．are rarely used by people
C．have a certain effect on children D．are often used by social workers
37．Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders
A．These gestures are very attractive. B．Their memories are affected easily.
C．Children are easy to tell lies. D．These gestures are used frequently.
38．The underlined word "impart" in Paragraph 6 means ____.
A．separate B．tell apart C．confuse D．pass on
39．What would be the best title for the text
A．Gestures—a Useful Way of Education
B．Gestures Can Mislead Children
C．Gestures Mean Adult's Directions
D．Gestures Affect Children Much
【答案】36．C
37．B
38．D
39．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，手势语在一定程度上会增加相互间的理解。然而，它也有消极作用，即误导对方，尤其是会误导孩子，作者介绍了这一研究结果。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
36．考查细节理解。根据第一段就指出手势语对孩子有影响，而全文都在说这一观点。故选C。
37．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture. ”一个简单的动作，就可以很快地在孩子的记忆中形成，这会导致孩子对伴随这个手势的问题，给出错误的答案；和第三段可知，主要原因是孩子的记忆很容易受到外界的影响。故选B。
38．考查词义猜测。根据第六段可知，大人对孩子使用更多的手势语是有原因的，手势语能够传达那些不熟悉的单词和短语的含义。故选D。
39．考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，介绍了一项研究结果：手势语会对孩子产生误导作用。故选B。

A smile will tell people around you that you are a kind and friendly person. However, many people don't smile because they think they have ugly teeth. For example, one of my classmates, Mike, doesn't have very nice teeth, so that is why he seldom opens his mouth. He even says that he has lost confidence because of his teeth. So it is very important for us to look after our teeth. In fact, a lot of people have this problem. Some people inherit tooth problems from their parents, while others' teeth are damaged because of bad habits, like heavy smoking, eating too much sugar or not brushing teeth often. If your teeth are in bad shape, you should see a dentist and ask for help. They can help improve your teeth and tell you how to take care of them.
Smiling can help you feel more confident and make people think of you as a more friendly person. If you want to keep healthy, you should not only smile but also laugh. An Indian doctor, called Kataria, said that young children should laugh about 30 times a day, while adults should laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. So please take this chance to smile and laugh now.
40．Many people don't smile because ____.
A．they don't like smiling B．they think they are ugly
C．their teeth are not beautiful D．they can't open their mouths
41．What can a dentist do according to the passage

B．A dentist can tell you how to take care of your bad teeth.

D．Both A and B
42．If you want to keep healthy, you had better ____.
A．not smile often B．laugh all the time
C．neither smile nor laugh D．smile and even laugh often

A．Either 300 or 30 times a day. B．Between 7 and 15 times a day.
C．About 30 times a day. D．Only 30 times a day.
【答案】40．C
41．D
42．D
43．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了笑的作用及有人不笑的原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并结合题目要求，从而选出正确答案。
40．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“many people don't smile because they think they have ugly teeth”很多人不笑是因为他们觉得自己的牙齿很丑，故选C。
41．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“If your teeth are in bad shape, you should see a dentist and ask for help. They can help improve your teeth and tell you how to take care of them. ”如果你的牙齿状况不好，你应该去看牙医，寻求帮助。它们可以帮助改善你的牙齿，告诉你如何照顾它们。故选D。

A smile will tell people around you that you are a kind and friendly person. However, many people don't smile because they think they have ugly teeth. For example, one of my classmates, Mike, doesn't have very nice teeth, so that is why he seldom opens his mouth. He even says that he has lost confidence because of his teeth. So it is very important for us to look after our teeth. In fact, a lot of people have this problem. Some people inherit tooth problems from their parents, while others' teeth are damaged because of bad habits, like heavy smoking, eating too much sugar or not brushing teeth often. If your teeth are in bad shape, you should see a dentist and ask for help. They can help improve your teeth and tell you how to take care of them.
Smiling can help you feel more confident and make people think of you as a more friendly person. If you want to keep healthy, you should not only smile but also laugh. An Indian doctor, called Kataria, said that young children should laugh about 30 times a day, while adults should laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. So please take this chance to smile and laugh now.
