第一节 阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从26~45各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
On the first day of school, I ran into my new English teacher, Ms Kirschmann. I really mean that—I literally ran into her.
As I began to apologize, she started “shouting” at me. I was a bit afraid, but I soon realized that she was just saying hello and welcoming me to her class in a very loud voice.
Kirsch, as she wanted us to call her, had a creative and fascinating character. Her hair color, fashion sense and energy took up the entire room. When we read the play Macbeth by Shakespeare, Kirsch let us play characters and wear masks (面具). There’s a big drum in the classroom. Every time we read the word “thunder” in the text, she would hit the drum! My classmates and I would laugh every time. During group discussions, Kirsch often told us to sit in a circle on the floor. We talked about the play and she took notes of what we said. Doing so made us feel independent and challenge ourselves more with critical (批判性的) thinking.
Kirsch is really a social butterfly. She smiles, laughs and tells jokes wherever she goes. But I found out about another side of her the other day.
After school that day, I saw Ms Kirschmann with her son. She was persuading (劝说) him to put on his jacket. She spoke with such a gentle voice that I was quite surprised. Until then, it didn’t occur to me that Ms Kirschmann could be quiet. I suddenly felt a lot of respect for this lady who was energetic, calm, intelligent and caring all at once.
26．What did the writer think of Ms. Kirschmann at first
A．She was kind and gentle. B．She was easy to be angry.
C．She was beautiful and knowledgeable. D．She was good at teaching.
27．What didn’t Ms. Kirschmann do when we read the play Macbeth
A．She let us play different roles.
B．She put down what we said about the play.
C．She allowed us to show our own ideas about the play.
D．She ordered us to wear masks while discussing the play.
28．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Ms. Kirschmann never shouted to her son
B．all the students looked up to Ms. Kirschmann
C．the writer had a new idea about Ms. Kirschmann
D．Ms. Krischmann only cared for her son in her life
B
If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of the feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give out our body signals (信号). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often be told how they are feeling by their body signals. So I think reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication. It can help us communicate with others more easily if we use it in the right way.
Here are some numbers for you to know how important it is to read and use body language. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.
These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you pay too much attention on their body language signals, you and the people may feel uncomfortable.
It is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals, and it is useful to be able to read people’s body language too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings. It depends on the person, the situation and the culture. For example, in the US, people wave goodbye with the palm (手掌) facing the person they’re waving to. But in other cultures, people may wave goodbye with the palm up to the sky, and the fingers opening and closing. To people in the US, this might look like a gesture asking someone to come closer. So you have to be sure of the meaning when you are trying to read a body language signal.
29．What does the writer think of body language
A．It is simple to learn. B．It is hard to understand.
C．It is difficult to be used. D．It is helpful in communication.
30．What can we learn from the passage
A．It is not important to use verbal signals.
B．Body language can show one’s feelings.
C．Body language makes people uncomfortable.
D．Wrong signals can play the same role as the right signals.
31．The underlined word “interpretations” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A．names B．excuses C．meanings D．thoughts
32．What will the writer most probably talk about in the next paragraph
A．What the wrong body language signals are.
B．How to understand body language correctly.
C．Why people wrongly understand body language.
D．Numbers of people wrongly using body language.
C
“Colour, colour, colour!” are the words of the artist Eric Carle. Eric is like the king in the world of children’s books. He has written over 70 children’s books. His most famous book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is common on children’s bookshelves all over the world. What most people don’t know is that Eric also makes art for adults, which is called “ArtArt”. People didn’t know about it, because he didn’t show it to the public until he was 84 years old!
Like Eric’s children’s books, his “ArtArt” is full of bright and clear colour. He says that he loves colour so much because he missed it during the war in Germany. Eric was born in New York in 1929, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6. When he was 10, World War Ⅱ began. He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted grey, brown or dark green. It was a sad time, and it seemed like there was no colour anywhere.
At the end of the war, “When colour came back”, Eric explains, “I just loved it so much. I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more colours. Colour is a very important part of my work.”
That’s true. Eric paints bright colours on paper, cuts out shapes, and then glues them onto another piece of paper. This method is called collage (拼贴画). In fact, it is what led Eric to his “ArtArt”.
Eric’s “ArtArt” includes large collages as well as paintings, photographs and even costumes. In all these works, he uses all kinds of colours—everything from purple to light green to orange. Now that are a lot of colours!
33．When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public
A．In 2013. B．In 1997. C．In 1993. D．In 1929.
34．Why did Eric feel sad during World War Ⅱ
A．Because he had to join the army to fight.
B．Because he could hardly see bright colours.
C．Because he couldn’t draw very good paintings.
D．Because he lived a very poor life with his parents.
35．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Collage plays an important part in Eric’s book “ArtArt”.
B．Children know little about The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
C．Eric has created more books for adults than for children.
D．Eric moved to Germany with his family when he was 10.
36．What’s the main idea of this passage
A．Eric created collages for his books. B．Eric’s “ArtArt” is popular with people.
C．Eric’s love for colour led him to success. D．Eric is the king in the world of children’s books.

Eye contact is an important part of body language. It can be the key to communication. Eye contact can s 46 feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding without gestures.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了眼神交流的重要性、差异性和好处。
46．句意：没有肢体语言的接触也能表达友好、兴趣和理解等情感。根据首字母提示以及“Eye contact can s...feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding without gestures.”可知，需填动词show“展现，展示，表达”，指表达情感，情态动词can后接动词原形，因此用show。故填(s)how。
47．句意：然而，在许多亚洲国家，当与老年人交谈时，向下看是礼貌的。根据“If you do not use eye contact or look away, Westerners may think that you are not listening or that you are lying. However,...”可知，此处与上一句为转折关系，上文表示没有眼神交流，会让对方觉得不礼貌，但在许多亚洲国家，向下看却是礼貌的，因此用形容词polite“礼貌的”。故填(p)olite。
48．句意：这些差异可能会引起问题。根据下文“For example, an Asian person might look down when he listens to a Western speaker. The Westerner might think this person feels...and is not interested in talking with him.”可知，眼神交流在不同国家的差异性会导致一定的问题，用可数名词problem“问题”，且问题一定不止一个，需用复数problems。故填(p)roblems。
49．句意：西方人可能会认为这个人感到无聊，没有兴趣和他说话。根据“...is not interested in”可知，西方人会认为对方觉得无聊，不感兴趣，考查形容词bored“感到无聊的”。故填(b)ored。
50．句意：它可以帮助我们给别人留下好印象。根据“a good impression”和首字母可知，考查短语make a good impression on“给某人留下好印象”，结合help sb do sth“帮助某人做某事”可知，此处需填动词原形make。故填(m)ake。
51． in need
【详解】those in need“那些需要帮助的人”，此处用介词短语作定语，故填in；need。
52． as well as
【详解】此处表示“既……又”，此处用as well as连接两个形容词。故填as；well；as。

【详解】主语A new school和谓语build之间是被动关系，根据语境可知，此处用一般将来时的被动语态will be done。故填will；be；built。
54． decide on
【详解】决定某事：decide on sth.；and连接两个并列的动作，前后动词形式一致，故此处用动词原形。故填decide；on。
