课时数智作业(二十)
Ⅰ．阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2025·广东汕头模拟)
Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare，new research suggests．Traditionally，zoos have focused on more straightforward measures such as whether animals are eating and sleeping．
The new review，by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester，says zoos have made great improvements in recent years，but closer observation of animal behaviour—a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment，developed in farming—could show even more about their state of mind．
An animal's positioning of its body，facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited，calm，interested，nervous，relaxed，etc．
“Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals，and they will often recognise an animal's state of mind by its behaviour and body language，” said Dr．Paul Rose，of the University of Exeter．
“What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this，carried out over time．”
“Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal，and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos．For example，lions have a lot of facial expressions，and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind．This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets，feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept．”
Dr．Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre，and is now examining how the swans (天鹅) there might show their state of mind through their behavioural expression．
“We're looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat，which could show what they're feeling．” he said．“When they're unsure，they appear to move less and be more careful，and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies．”
The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos．“Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years，and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals，” Dr．Rose said．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一项新的研究，这项研究表明，观察动物园动物的行为和肢体语言可能是了解和改善它们福利的关键。
1．How to improve zoo animals' welfare？(　　)
A．More focus on animals' eating and sleep．
B．Closer observation of zoo animals' behaviours．
C．More attention to zoo animals' state of mind．
D．Adoption of more straightforward measure．
√
B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare，new research suggests．”可知，改善动物园动物福利的关键是仔细观察动物的行为和肢体语言。结合第二段可知，对动物行为更密切地观察可以更多地了解它们的心理状态，从而提高它们的福利。故选B。]
2．What is the function of lions as an example？(　　)
A．To show body language vary from animal to animal．
B．To show the significance of animal body language．
C．To show lions are rich in their facial expressions．
D．To show lions are treated well in zoos．
√
B　[推理判断题。根据第六段中“Certain behaviours will show certain moods in an animal，and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos．For example，lions have a lot of facial expressions，and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind．”可知，将狮子作为例子，是为了展示对动物肢体语言的研究可以帮助动物园了解动物的心理活动，说明研究动物肢体语言有重要意义。故选B。]
3．What does Dr．Rose's research of swans suggest？(　　)
A．They usually explore their habitat．
B．They always draw their feathers close to their bodies．
C．They move little in fearful situations．
D．They spend little time in their habitat．
√
C　[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When they're unsure，they appear to move less and be more careful，and draw their feathers close to their bodies．”可知，天鹅会在感觉不确定时行动更少更小心，即天鹅会在害怕的情况下很少行动。故选C。]
4．What can we know from the last paragraph？(　　)
A．Animal welfare in zoos is decreasing．
B．Qualitative Behavioural Assessment is meaningful．
C．Farm animals enjoy greater welfare than zoo animals．
D．Zoos do a good job in recognising animal body language．
√
B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos．‘Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years，and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals，’ Dr．Rose said．”可知，定性行为评估有助于改善动物园动物的福利，为动物园提供了另一种认识和改善动物福利的方法，即定性行为评估是有意义的。故选B。]
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(限时7分钟)
A wave．A thumbs-up．You may think you know what these common gestures signify...but what happens when you wave to your European friend across the street and she turns to walk the other way
There's a reason for her reaction． 1 While most Americans interpret a wave as a friendly greeting or goodbye，the same motion is just as likely to communicate the word “no” in parts of Europe and Latin America．
Obviously，body language is not universal． 2 2
The most common understanding of the subject relates body language to spoken language．Generally speaking，the same body language has different meanings in different places，which is closely related to the traditional customs of the region． 3 For example，in Germany the thumbs-up represents the number one，but in Japan it means “five” instead．So to understand a certain body language correctly，it is best to combine it with spoken language．
There's one more complication in understanding non-verbal (非语言的) communication，though． 4 In a study，participants from the West，insular African communities，and New Guinea were shown a collection of more than 10，000 portraits illustrating different facial expressions (the same man indicates different facial expressions，anger，sadness，etc．)．Researchers concluded that there were at least seven universal facial expressions：anger，disgust，fear，surprise，happiness，sadness，and contempt． 5 5
So while a wave or thumbs-up may not translate on your next trip abroad，a genuine expression of emotion probably will．
A．But why
B．This is also true in different cultures．
C．The mixed messages don't stop there．
D．It isn't because your friend is tired of your company．
E．Indeed，signals are essential for effective communication．
F．90 percent of participants identified the same emotions in the photo．
G．Although body language isn't universal，the emotions behind it may be．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。相同的肢体语言在不同的地方可能会有不同的含义，这与该地区的传统习俗密切相关，但是研究表明肢体语言表达的情感可以是共通的。
1．D　[根据前文“but what happens when you wave to your European friend across the street and she turns to walk the other way？”和后文“While most Americans interpret a wave as a friendly greeting or goodbye，the same motion is just as likely to communicate the word ‘no’ in parts of Europe and Latin America．”可知，此处承接空前的“a reason”，说明了朋友做出这个反应的原因。所以选项D“这并不是因为你的朋友厌倦了你的陪伴”切合文意。故选D。]
2．A　[根据前文“Obviously，body language is not universal．”和后文“The most common understanding of the subject relates body language to spoken language．Generally speaking，the same body language has different meanings in different places，which is closely related to the traditional customs of the region．”可知，此处是讲为什么肢体语言会存在差异，所以选项A“但是为什么呢？”切合文意。故选A。]
3．B　[根据后文“For example，in Germany the thumbs-up represents the number one，but in Japan it means ‘five’ instead．”可知，此处是指这种现象在不同的文化中也存在，所以选项B“在不同的文化中也是如此。”切合文意。故选B。]
4．G　[根据后文“Researchers concluded that there were at least seven universal facial expressions：anger，disgust，fear，surprise，happiness，sadness，and contempt．”可知，此处是讲肢体语言表达的情感可以是通用的，所以选项G“虽然肢体语言不是通用的，但其背后的情感可能是通用的。”切合文意。故选G。]
5．F　[根据前文“In a study，participants from the West，insular African communities，and New Guinea were shown a collection of more than 10，000 portraits illustrating different facial expressions (the same man indicates different facial expressions，anger，sadness，etc．)．”可知，研究结果表明大多数人都能识别出相同的情绪，所以选项F“90%的参与者在照片中识别出了相同的情绪。”切合文意。故选F。]

My name is Maeja，and it is my job to watch my younger brother，Jungho，as we walk home from school．
“I'm tired，” Jungho complained one day on our way home，“and hungry．” So we stopped to rest．“What do you think Mum is cooking？” I asked．“Barbecue for me！” said Jungho．“Come on．” I stood up．“We need to keep walking．”
At a busy corner，I noticed a street banner(横幅标语)flapping high above．It read，“First Annual Walking Race to Jasan Park! Climb the Mountain to Win a Washing Machine！”
It might be fun to race．I walked to and from school with Jungho every day，and I had hiked with Daddy in Jasan Park．But could I walk fast enough to win
At home，Mum was working in the kitchen．We had only a single burner stove，so she made rice first．Then she cooked vegetables and fish．When Daddy arrived，everyone ate and talked and shared about their day．
Afterward，Mum and I washed dishes．When she pulled out two metal laundry tubs，her smile disappeared．I knew doing laundry hurt her back and knees．In our neighbourhood，only a few families have a washing machine．Mum said a washing machine would be a gift from above．I remembered the banner and told Mum about it．
She sighed，“Maeja，many people will enter that race．You cannot expect to win．”
We carried wet laundry to the flat roof，where Mum hung it to dry．I loved being on the roof with her，but I wished we hadn't got so many chores．Then I would have had more time to play with friends．If we had a washing machine，both Mum and I would be happy．So I signed up to participate in that race．
注意： 续写词数应为150个左右。
When the day came，I arrived at the place for the race early．____

When the day came，I arrived at the place for the race early．Soon after，the judge blew a whistle．The crowd moved，and I swept along．The road wound up between houses and shops．Children hung out of windows，cheering．I was thirsty and hot，but I thought of Mum bending over the washtub．I kept on walking．We had been walking for hours now，and my legs ached and my lungs burnt．How much longer could I go on Then I heard excited voices ahead．When I reached the finishing line，I saw a boy in a dark suit．The boy's face told me he had won．
Knowing I was not going to win，I was disappointed．I never got the washing machine，but instead，I received a mysterious gift．Exhausted，I made my way home．My family came close as my mum opened the box．Nestled inside was a stove with a single burner．“I wanted to win，Mum，but I couldn't walk fast enough，” I said，feeling very sorry．“But you did win，” Mum hugged me．“With this new stove burner，cooking will be easier．Thank you，Maeja．Tonight we will celebrate with a feast！” We ate barbecue and the food smelt sweet and tasted extra delicious that night．

选择性必修第一册　UNIT 4　BODY LANGUAGE
Ⅰ．阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2025·广东汕头模拟)
Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare，new research suggests．Traditionally，zoos have focused on more straightforward measures such as whether animals are eating and sleeping．
The new review，by the University of Exeter and the University of Winchester，says zoos have made great improvements in recent years，but closer observation of animal behaviour—a method called Qualitative Behavioural Assessment，developed in farming—could show even more about their state of mind．
An animal's positioning of its body，facial movements and activity levels are among the things that might tell whether it is excited，calm，interested，nervous，relaxed，etc．
“Zookeepers are knowledgeable about their animals，and they will often recognise an animal's state of mind by its behaviour and body language，”said Dr．Paul Rose，of the University of Exeter．
“What we are suggesting is a more scientific method of this，carried out over time．”
“Certain behaviours will show certain moods (情绪) in an animal，and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos．For example，lions have a lot of facial expressions，and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind．This information could then be used to improve welfare by changing diets，feeding times or any number of other aspects of the way animals are kept．”
Dr．Rose carries out much of his research at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre，and is now examining how the swans (天鹅) there might show their state of mind through their behavioural expression．
“We're looking at how much time they spend exploring their habitat，which could show what they're feeling．”he said．“When they're unsure，they appear to move less and be more careful，and draw their feathers (羽毛) close to their bodies．”
The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos．“Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years，and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals，”Dr．Rose said．
1．How to improve zoo animals' welfare？(　　)
A．More focus on animals' eating and sleep．
B．Closer observation of zoo animals' behaviours．
C．More attention to zoo animals' state of mind．
D．Adoption of more straightforward measure．
2．What is the function of lions as an example？(　　)
A．To show body language vary from animal to animal．
B．To show the significance of animal body language．
C．To show lions are rich in their facial expressions．
D．To show lions are treated well in zoos．
3．What does Dr．Rose's research of swans suggest？(　　)
A．They usually explore their habitat．
B．They always draw their feathers close to their bodies．
C．They move little in fearful situations．
D．They spend little time in their habitat．
4．What can we know from the last paragraph？(　　)
A．Animal welfare in zoos is decreasing．
B．Qualitative Behavioural Assessment is meaningful．
C．Farm animals enjoy greater welfare than zoo animals．
D．Zoos do a good job in recognising animal body language．
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(限时7分钟)
A wave．A thumbs up．You may think you know what these common gestures signify．．．but what happens when you wave to your European friend across the street and she turns to walk the other way
There's a reason for her reaction． 1 While most Americans interpret a wave as a friendly greeting or goodbye，the same motion is just as likely to communicate the word “no”in parts of Europe and Latin America．
Obviously，body language is not universal． 2
The most common understanding of the subject relates body language to spoken language．Generally speaking，the same body language has different meanings in different places，which is closely related to the traditional customs of the region． 3 For example，in Germany the thumbs up represents the number one，but in Japan it means “five”instead．So to understand a certain body language correctly，it is best to combine it with spoken language．
There's one more complication in understanding non verbal (非语言的) communication，though． 4 In a study，participants from the West，insular African communities，and New Guinea were shown a collection of more than 10，000 portraits illustrating different facial expressions (the same man indicates different facial expressions，anger，sadness，etc．)．Researchers concluded that there were at least seven universal facial expressions: anger，disgust，fear，surprise，happiness，sadness，and contempt． 5
So while a wave or thumbs up may not translate on your next trip abroad，a genuine expression of emotion probably will．
A．But why
B．This is also true in different cultures．
C．The mixed messages don't stop there．
D．It isn't because your friend is tired of your company．
E．Indeed，signals are essential for effective communication．
F．90 percent of participants identified the same emotions in the photo．
G．Although body language isn't universal，the emotions behind it may be．
Ⅲ．语法填空(限时6分钟)
China is a big country with many dialects．However，in recent years，the preservation of Chinese dialects 1． (become) a subject of concern due to various factors．
Chinese dialects represent a 2． (value) aspect of the world's linguistic (语言的) diversity．Protecting these dialects 3． (be) crucial not only for preserving China's diverse cultural heritage (遗产) but also for maintaining global linguistic richness．Just 4． biodiversity is essential for the ecosystem，linguistic diversity is essential for the cultural fabric of our society．

In the digital age，using technology can aid in the preservation of dialects．Efforts should 7． (make) to digitally record dialect specific vocabulary，phrases and stories．The development of dialect focused applications and online platforms can facilitate the learning and communication among dialect 8． (lover) across China．

Ⅰ．【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一项新的研究，这项研究表明，观察动物园动物的行为和肢体语言可能是了解和改善它们福利的关键。
1．B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“Watching the behaviour and body language of zoo animals could be the key to understanding and improving their welfare，new research suggests．”可知，改善动物园动物福利的关键是仔细观察动物的行为和肢体语言。结合第二段可知，对动物行为更密切地观察可以更多地了解它们的心理状态，从而提高它们的福利。故选B。]
2．B　[推理判断题。根据第六段中“Certain behaviours will show certain moods in an animal，and we should build our knowledge of this for different animals that live in zoos．For example，lions have a lot of facial expressions，and research on these expressions could help zoos understand the animals' state of mind．”可知，将狮子作为例子，是为了展示对动物肢体语言的研究可以帮助动物园了解动物的心理活动，说明研究动物肢体语言有重要意义。故选B。]
3．C　[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When they're unsure，they appear to move less and be more careful，and draw their feathers close to their bodies．”可知，天鹅会在感觉不确定时行动更少更小心，即天鹅会在害怕的情况下很少行动。故选C。]
4．B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study suggests research opportunities for Qualitative Behavioural Assessment and practices that could be used by zoos．‘Animal welfare in zoos has improved greatly in the last 10 or 20 years，and this method gives zoos another way to recognise and improve the welfare of animals，’ Dr．Rose said．”可知，定性行为评估有助于改善动物园动物的福利，为动物园提供了另一种认识和改善动物福利的方法，即定性行为评估是有意义的。故选B。]
Ⅱ．【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。相同的肢体语言在不同的地方可能会有不同的含义，这与该地区的传统习俗密切相关，但是研究表明肢体语言表达的情感可以是共通的。

3．B　[根据后文“For example，in Germany the thumbsup represents the number one，but in Japan it means ‘five’ instead．”可知，此处是指这种现象在不同的文化中也存在，所以选项B“在不同的文化中也是如此。”切合文意。故选B。]
4．G　[根据后文“Researchers concluded that there were at least seven universal facial expressions：anger，disgust，fear，surprise，happiness，sadness，and contempt．”可知，此处是讲肢体语言表达的情感可以是通用的，所以选项G“虽然肢体语言不是通用的，但其背后的情感可能是通用的。”切合文意。故选G。]
5．F　[根据前文“In a study，participants from the West，insular African communities，and New Guinea were shown a collection of more than 10，000 portraits illustrating different facial expressions (the same man indicates different facial expressions，anger，sadness，etc．)．”可知，研究结果表明大多数人都能识别出相同的情绪，所以选项F“90%的参与者在照片中识别出了相同的情绪。”切合文意。故选F。]
