My English friends Vic and Esther invited me out to dinner on their last evening in Toronto.They were really pleased with it—but then Vic only left a five-dollar tip for the waiter!The bill was almost 150 and in Canada, it’s normal to leave a 15% tip.The waiter looked shocked—he must have thought we were really unhappy!I didn’t want to embarrass Vic by putting more money on the table, so I quietly gave the waiter another 10 as we were leaving.
—Neil, Canada
I particularly remember a party I went to soon after I came to Australia.The people were friendly and the food was wonderful but all the time I kept thinking, “Where’s the music?When does the dancing start?” Where I come from, a party isn’t a party without music and dancing!But nothing happened and I left early, which probably wasn’t very polite, but I just felt so out of place.
—Daniela, Colombia
When I went to meet my Italian friend at the airport, she ran over and hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks.I felt totally uncomfortable!Kissing and hugging in public is not how people usually behave here!People were staring at us and some children were even laughing.There was nothing wrong with what she did but I couldn’t deal with it at the time.
—Haneul,South Korea
Soon after I arrived in China I was invited to be a judge at a local school’s English speech contest.After the contest the head teacher invited me to dinner, but before I could accept my guide politely refused for me.Afterwards he told me that it was a common practice to make invitations like this just to be polite, which is quite different from my home country where invitations are sincere and you are expected to accept them.
—Dr Finckel, Britain

In seventh grade, Rosalie Bangeter hated me for no reason.She never missed an opportunity to laugh at me, or even threaten me.I would hear her jeering (嘲讽的) words when I walked out to catch the bus home.I could feel the heat of her stare when I bent in my seat in the cafeteria and avoided looking anywhere near her direction.I was somewhat terrified of her.
I knew I had to take action, but how?
My family lived in a small town of about three thousand people, and it seemed as if my dad knew every single one of them.What was even more astonishing was that everyone seemed to know him.One day, I asked my mom how this was possible.She said, “Well, Jenn, your dad never lets anyone stay a stranger.He talks to everyone he sees, and then gives them a big smile.”
I was tired of being a coward (胆小的) girl.I wanted to be like my dad: smile to everyone.I decided to try it out.I would take my experiment straight to Rosalie Bangeter.I don’t think I heard a single word my math teacher said that day in the fourth period because I was too busy thinking about what I was about to do.Finally, the bell rang.I gathered my books and headed to my locker.I saw Rosalie approaching, looking as mean as ever.For the first time, I made eye contact with her, and then managed to smile through my nervousness.Rosalie looked shocked, and then stared at me angrily.The next day, I tried again, less nervously.Rosalie wasn’t surprised but still stared coldly.
This continued for days until she even gave me a half-smile.And then came that memorable day when I got the nerve to nod and say hi.I couldn’t believe it! She said hi back! At the end of the year, Rosalie looked me up and asked me to sign her yearbook.

As an actor, you’ve heard it before: your body is your instrument.It’s a cliche for a reason, but it’s true.Just as a guitar player or violinist needs to often fine-tune (微调) their instrument, you need to do the same.Here, let’s break down everything you should learn about body language exercises for actors, as well as why they’re necessary in the first place to enhance your acting skills.
Body language is the most emotive form of communication after verbal speech.You can learn so much about what’s going on inside based on what’s being externalized.Think about how some entertainment magazines often ask a “body language expert” to analyze a photo of a will-they-won’t-they celebrity couple.However legit (合法的) that person’s expertise may be, there are many signs when it comes to dynamic-based body language.
By that same reasoning, think about how much an audience can learn about a character based on the actor’s body language.You can pass on subconscious (潜意识的) information about your role without saying a word.These exercises will put you in touch with your body and make you more aware of what you’re expressing to the outside world.They can help you get into the physicality of your character so that you can understand them inside and out.
Each performer is different and may have their preferable body language exercise.Take the gait (步法) exercises as an example.How a character walks is especially telling; it’s literally how they move through the world.An individual’s way of walking can also change depending on how they’re feeling at the moment: excited, sad, scared, etc.Have a bash at different walking styles to show the person you’re playing.Besides, you can write the gestures.This one is actually a writing exercise, but it will still come in handy when we construct a performance.Write out a short scene between two characters who have an entire conversation using only their body language.
8.What does the author mean by citing “your body is your instrument”?( )
A.Keeping healthy needs proper exercise.
B.Learning music is necessary for actors.
C.Perfecting physical expression is important to actors.
D.Improving performing skills needs professional guidance.
9.What can we learn about body language from the example in Paragraph 2?( )
A.It is presented in various ways. B.It gives us lots of information.
C.It hides deepest feelings. D.It is likely to be ignored.
10.What is the benefit of taking body language exercises for actors?( )
A.Getting into the character they’re playing.
B.Inspiring their greater passion for acting.
C.Having a full realization of their inner body.
D.Receiving more performing chances.
11.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “Have a bash at” in Paragraph 4?( )
A.Make out. B.Adapt to.
C.Try out. D.Bring up.
D
When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by how they had developed more solutions to enjoy concerts.“What they were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations (震动) through their fingers,” Belquer said.He thought the team could make something to help hard-of-hearing people enjoy live music even more with the technology now available.
Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the “Chief Vibration Officer” of Music: Not Impossible, which uses new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability access.His team started by tying different vibrating cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work.The vibrations were all the same.Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light haptic (触觉的) suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates.There are 20 of them tied to a undershirt that fits tightly around the body like a hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle.When you wear the suit, it’s surprising how it feels.
The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way.“What we’re doing is selecting and mixing what we want and sending it to different parts of the body,” said the DJ.The haptic suits were just one component of the event.There were American Sign Language interpreters; the music was displayed on a screen on the stage.
The suits are the star attraction.Lily Lipman, who has auditory processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience.“It’s cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.”
12.What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?( )
A.The attitude they held to life. B.The way they enjoyed music.
C.The love they had for balloons. D.The frequency they vibrated fingers.
13.Why did the team’s initial attempt fail?( )
A.The vibrations lacked variety. B.The vibrations were irregular.
C.The motors were the same. D.The motors hardly worked.
14.What is Paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?( )
A.Displaying music on the stage.
B.Selecting proper suits for participants.
C.Mixed methods helping people feel the music.
D.Interpreters with excellent sign language skills.
15.What does Lily Lipman think of the suit?( )
A.It’s comforting. B.It’s challenging.
C.It’s satisfying. D.It’s disturbing.

I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology (社会学).The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human had been graced with.Her last project of the term was called “Smile”.The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and record their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake.Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning.It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move a bit.A strong feeling of fear welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance.
He said “Good day.” as he counted the few coins he had been holding.The second man was obviously mentally disabled.I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.He said “Coffee is all, Miss.” because that was all they could afford.If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something.He just wanted to be warm.
Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it.

2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的I felt totally uncomfortable!Kissing and hugging in public is not how people usually behave here! People were staring at us and some children were even laughing.可知,意大利朋友在机场的举止令Haneul感到尴尬。
3.C 推理判断题。通读全文不难发现,文中的四个人分别描述了他们亲身经历的跨文化带来的误解。
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过学习父亲友善待人的方式,勇敢地对曾经欺负她的同学Rosalie微笑,最终改变了两人之间的关系,并从中体会到微笑的力量。

第一节 参考范文:
Dear Ms Hill,
I’m Li Hua.I am writing to express my sincere thanks for your help with my spoken English.
First, it was your teaching method that helped to improve my spoken English.For example, you encouraged me to talk freely about everything around me in English.Second, it’s really kind of you to be always patient with me.Moreover, you have a great sense of humor which added plenty of fun to the class.At the end of one class, I began to expect the next class.
My true gratitude is beyond words.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 参考范文:
That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.I smiled and asked the waitress to give me two more breakfast on a separate tray.I put the tray on the table and the blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me tearfully in his eyes.I started to cry as I walked away.When I sat down my husband smiled at me.We held hands firmly.I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it.Then she said, “Can I share this?” I nodded as she got the attention of the class.She began to read and that was when I knew that we, as humans, share this need to help people and to be helped.In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s, my husband, my son, the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

A
My English friends Vic and Esther invited me out to dinner on
their last evening in Toronto.They were really pleased with it—but
then Vic only left a five-dollar tip for the waiter!The bill was
almost 150 and in Canada, it’s normal to leave a 15% tip.The
waiter looked shocked—he must have thought we were really
unhappy!I didn’t want to embarrass Vic by putting more money on
the table, so I quietly gave the waiter another 10 as we were leaving.
—Neil, Canada
I particularly remember a party I went to soon after I came to
Australia.The people were friendly and the food was wonderful but all
the time I kept thinking, “Where’s the music?When does the
dancing start?” Where I come from, a party isn’t a party without
music and dancing!But nothing happened and I left early, which
probably wasn’t very polite, but I just felt so out of place.
—Daniela, Colombia
When I went to meet my Italian friend at the airport, she ran
over and hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks.I felt totally
uncomfortable!Kissing and hugging in public is not how people
usually behave here!People were staring at us and some children
were even laughing.There was nothing wrong with what she did but I
couldn’t deal with it at the time.
—Haneul,South Korea
Soon after I arrived in China I was invited to be a judge at a local
school’s English speech contest.After the contest the head teacher
invited me to dinner, but before I could accept my guide politely
refused for me.Afterwards he told me that it was a common practice
to make invitations like this just to be polite, which is quite different
from my home country where invitations are sincere and you are
expected to accept them.

B
In seventh grade, Rosalie Bangeter hated me for no reason.She
never missed an opportunity to laugh at me, or even threaten me.I
would hear her jeering (嘲讽的) words when I walked out to catch
the bus home.I could feel the heat of her stare when I bent in my seat
in the cafeteria and avoided looking anywhere near her direction.I
was somewhat terrified of her.
I knew I had to take action, but how?
My family lived in a small town of about three thousand people,
and it seemed as if my dad knew every single one of them.What was
even more astonishing was that everyone seemed to know him.One
day, I asked my mom how this was possible.She said, “Well,
Jenn, your dad never lets anyone stay a stranger.He talks to
everyone he sees, and then gives them a big smile.”
I was tired of being a coward (胆小的) girl.I wanted to be like
my dad: smile to everyone.I decided to try it out.I would take my
experiment straight to Rosalie Bangeter.I don’t think I heard a
single word my math teacher said that day in the fourth period
because I was too busy thinking about what I was about to do. Finally, the bell rang.I gathered my books and headed to my
locker.I saw Rosalie approaching, looking as mean as ever.For the
first time, I made eye contact with her, and then managed to smile
through my nervousness.Rosalie looked shocked, and then stared at
me angrily.The next day, I tried again, less nervously.Rosalie
wasn’t surprised but still stared coldly.
This continued for days until she even gave me a half-smile.And
then came that memorable day when I got the nerve to nod and say
hi.I couldn’t believe it! She said hi back! At the end of the year,
Rosalie looked me up and asked me to sign her yearbook.

√

A. Friendly and sociable.
B. Loose and cold.
C. Enthusiastic and emotional.

所有人都互相认识,他总是与人交谈并给予微笑。这表明他是一
个友好且善于社交的人。
√
6. What can be inferred about the author during the fourth period?
A. Energetic. B. Impressive.

As an actor, you’ve heard it before: your body is your
instrument.It’s a cliche for a reason, but it’s true.Just as a guitar
player or violinist needs to often fine-tune (微调) their instrument,
you need to do the same.Here, let’s break down everything you
should learn about body language exercises for actors, as well as why
they’re necessary in the first place to enhance your acting skills.
Body language is the most emotive form of communication after
verbal speech.You can learn so much about what’s going on inside
based on what’s being externalized.Think about how some
entertainment magazines often ask a “body language expert” to
analyze a photo of a will-they-won’t-they celebrity couple.However
legit (合法的) that person’s expertise may be, there are many
signs when it comes to dynamic-based body language.
By that same reasoning, think about how much an audience can
learn about a character based on the actor’s body language.You can
pass on subconscious (潜意识的) information about your role
without saying a word.These exercises will put you in touch with your
body and make you more aware of what you’re expressing to the
outside world.They can help you get into the physicality of your
character so that you can understand them inside and out.
Each performer is different and may have their preferable body
language exercise.Take the gait (步法) exercises as an
example.How a character walks is especially telling; it’s literally
how they move through the world.An individual’s way of walking
can also change depending on how they’re feeling at the moment:
excited, sad, scared, etc.Have a bash at different walking styles to
show the person you’re playing.Besides, you can write the
gestures.This one is actually a writing exercise, but it will still come
in handy when we construct a performance.Write out a short scene between two characters who have an entire conversation using only their body language.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了演员练习肢体语言的
必要性及方式。
8. What does the author mean by citing “your body is your
instrument”?
A. Keeping healthy needs proper exercise.
B. Learning music is necessary for actors.
C. Perfecting physical expression is important to actors.
D. Improving performing skills needs professional guidance.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的Just as a guitar player or
violinist needs to often fine-tune (微调) their instrument, you
need to do the same.可知,吉他手或小提琴手需要经常微调乐器来
达到更好的表演效果,演员也需要这样做。由此可推知,作者引
用“你的身体是你的乐器”是想说明完美的肢体表达对演员来说
很重要。
9. What can we learn about body language from the example in
Paragraph 2?
A. It is presented in various ways.
B. It gives us lots of information.
C. It hides deepest feelings.
D. It is likely to be ignored.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的You can learn so much about
what’s going on inside based on what’s being externalized.可
知,我们可以通过观察外在表现来深入了解内在情况。接下来作
者给出了专家分析明星情侣照片的例子来进行说明,由此可知,
作者举这个例子是为了说明肢体语言能够传递给我们很多信息。
10. What is the benefit of taking body language exercises for actors?
A. Getting into the character they’re playing.
B. Inspiring their greater passion for acting.
C. Having a full realization of their inner body.
D. Receiving more performing chances.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的These exercises will put
you ...can understand them inside and out.可知,做肢体语言练
习对演员的好处是能够让演员进入所扮演的角色。
√
11. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “Have a
bash at” in Paragraph 4?
A. Make out. B. Adapt to.
C. Try out. D. Bring up.
解析:词句猜测题。画线短语上文提到的例子说明不同的走路方
式反映一个人的不同心情,再结合画线短语后的different walking
styles to show the person you’re playing可推知,此处指的是
“尝试不同的走路方式来展示你所扮演的角色”,因此画线短语
的意思是“尝试”,和Try out意思相近。

When Belquer first joined a team to make a better live music
experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, he was struck by
how they had developed more solutions to enjoy concerts.“What they
were doing at the time was holding balloons to feel the vibrations (震
动) through their fingers,” Belquer said.He thought the team
could make something to help hard-of-hearing people enjoy live music
even more with the technology now available.
Belquer, who is also a musician and theater artist, is now the
“Chief Vibration Officer” of Music: Not Impossible, which uses
new technology to address social issues like poverty and disability
access.His team started by tying different vibrating cell phone motors
to bodies, but that didn’t quite work.The vibrations were all the
same.Eventually, they worked with engineers to develop a light
haptic (触觉的) suit with a total of 24 vibrating plates.There are 20
of them tied to a undershirt that fits tightly around the body like a
hiking backpack, plus one that ties to each wrist and ankle.When
you wear the suit, it’s surprising how it feels.
The vibrations are mixed by a haptic DJ who controls the
location, frequency and intensity of feeling across the suits, just as a
music DJ mixes sounds in an artful way.“What we’re doing is
selecting and mixing what we want and sending it to different parts of
the body,” said the DJ. The haptic suits were just one component of
the event.There were American Sign Language interpreters; the
music was displayed on a screen on the stage.
The suits are the star attraction.Lily Lipman, who has auditory
processing disorder, lit up when asked about her experience.“It’s
cool, because I’m never quite sure if I’m hearing what other
people are hearing, so it’s amazing to get the music in my body.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐家兼戏剧艺术
家Belquer和其团队利用现有技术制作出一个套装来帮助听力障碍人
士更好地享受现场音乐。
12. What surprised Belquer about people with hearing problems?
A. The attitude they held to life.
B. The way they enjoyed music.
C. The love they had for balloons.
D. The frequency they vibrated fingers.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知,Belquer对听障人士想出的享受音乐的方法感到震惊。
√
13. Why did the team’s initial attempt fail?
A. The vibrations lacked variety.
B. The vibrations were irregular.
C. The motors were the same.
D. The motors hardly worked.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的His team started by tying different vibrating cell phone motors to bodies, but that didn’t quite work.The vibrations were all the same.可知,他的团队最初的尝试失败了,这是因为震动都是一样的,即缺乏多样性。
√
14. What is Paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. Displaying music on the stage.
B. Selecting proper suits for participants.
C. Mixed methods helping people feel the music.
D. Interpreters with excellent sign language skills.
解析:段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,该段主要讲用混合方
法帮助听力障碍人士感受音乐。
√
15. What does Lily Lipman think of the suit?
A. It’s comforting. B. It’s challenging.
C. It’s satisfying. D. It’s disturbing.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中Lily Lipman所说的话可推
知,她对这个套装是满意的。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使
之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college
degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology (社会学).The
teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every
human had been graced with.Her last project of the term was
called “Smile”.The class was asked to go out and smile at three
people and record their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and
say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of
cake.Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my
youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March
morning.It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our
son.We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a
sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even
my husband did.
I did not move a bit.A strong feeling of fear welled up inside of
me as I turned to see why they had moved.As I turned around I
smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind
me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short
gentleman, close to me, he was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue
eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance.
He said “Good day.” as he counted the few coins he had been
holding.The second man was obviously mentally disabled.I held my
tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.He
said “Coffee is all, Miss.” because that was all they could afford.If
they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy
something.He just wanted to be warm.
Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out
and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on
me, judging my every action.
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it.
That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on
me, judging my every action.I smiled and asked the waitress to
give me two more breakfast on a separate tray.I put the tray on the
table and the blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me tearfully in his
eyes.I started to cry as I walked away.When I sat down my
husband smiled at me.We held hands firmly.I returned to
college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.
参考范文:
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it.Then she
said, “Can I share this?” I nodded as she got the attention of
the class.She began to read and that was when I knew that we, as
humans, share this need to help people and to be helped.In my
own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s, my
husband, my son, the instructor, and every soul that shared
the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.I
graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
