阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A Lesson Plan from Life Planning Education：A Youth Development Program
Purpose：To learn about body language and how to use body language
Materials (材料)：cards; container
Time：25－35 minutes
Planning Notes：
Write the words below on cards:
angry, disappointed, shy, afraid, sad, happy, nervous, excited, bored
Place the cards in the container so volunteers can draw them out one at a time.
Steps：
First make sure that all volunteers know what body language means(expressing feelings through body movement and facial expressions).Go over the following instructions:
I’ll need at least 9 volunteers to play a game similar to charades (猜词游戏).
The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words.
The rest of the group will guess what feeling is being communicated. Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words.
The game will continue until there are no more cards or until time is up.
At last, end the activity using the discussion points below:
Can you give examples of when someone’s body language communicated a different message from what he/she actually said
Sometimes one person is offended (冒犯) by another’s body language. How can you work to keep that from happening Answers may include: be honest and direct; match your non-verbal messages to your verbal ones; be aware of cultural attitudes toward different kinds of body language.
21．To whom is the text most likely written
A．Teachers. B．Students.
C．Volunteers. D．Young parents.
22．What do we know about the game
A．One volunteer draws all cards.
B．Volunteers guess feelings one by one.
C．Each volunteer is given 25－35 minutes.
D．Feelings on cards are shown non-verbally.
23．What are you advised to do to avoid offensive body language
A．Learn about different cultures. B．Behave humorously.
C．Act indirectly. D．Just let it be.
A new attempt to predict earthquakes with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised hopes that the technology could one day be used to limit earthquakes’ impact on lives and economies. Developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, the AI algorithm correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week before they happened during a seven-month trial in China.
The AI was trained to find unusual patterns in real-time seismic data that researchers had paired with the data of previous earthquakes. The outcome was a weekly forecast in which the AI successfully predicted 14 earthquakes within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. It missed one earthquake and gave eight false warnings.
It’s not yet known if the same approach will work at other locations, but the effort is a significant achievement in research for AI-driven earthquake forecasting.
“Predicting earthquakes is the ultimate goal,” said a professor, who is a member of the research team. “We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.”
The researchers said that their method had succeeded by following a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was given a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, then told to train itself on a five-year database of seismic recordings. Once trained, the AI gave its forecast by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes among the background rumblings in the Earth.
“Our future goal is to combine both physics and data-driven methods to create a generalized system that we can apply anywhere in the world,” said the AI’s lead developer. “The new research is an important step towards achieving that goal.”
24．What do we say about AI predicting earthquakes
A．The rate of accuracy is high.
B．It has got proven worldwide.
C．The prediction is completely random.
D．Earthquakes can be controlled by scientists.
25．Which can best explain the underlined word “seismic” in paragraph 2
A．Related to weather patterns. B．Related to earthquakes.
C．Related to volcanic activities. D．Related to ocean currents.
26．What is researchers’ attitude towards AI predicting earthquakes
A．Doubtful. B．Uncertain. C．Optimistic. D．Unfavorable.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．The Development Of Earthquake
B．AI’s Role in Predicting Earthquakes
C．AI’s Forecast about Natural Disasters
D．The Understanding of Earthquake Physics
Many people ask this question, “Why is body language so important ” Studies have shown that in the process of communication, non-verbal (非语言的) expression has 65% to 93% more influence than actual words. This means that “how to say” is more important than “what to say”. Of course, this does not mean that you don’t need to make preparations for your interviews and nor does it mean that you can take any shortcuts. On the contrary, this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace, body language is much more important than you think. Without proper body language, you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can’t integrate (融合) with the external environment, not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
“People can often make inferences (推断) from actions, and the results of these inferences directly affect lives: for example, who will be employed and who will be promoted.” Academician Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show. She also said that “our body language will also affect our perception of ourselves. When you try to make more authoritative actions, your brain will unconsciously receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative (权威的) , so that you have more confidence in yourself”.
Therefore, before interviews or important meetings, try not to lean on any object or have your back bent forward. Instead, you should try to keep your body upright. You can even stand straight with a relatively authoritative posture. Of course, you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
So, as a green hand, every time you are nervous or feel that you can’t do it, stretch your body, smile, and tell yourself, “Fake it till you become it!”
28．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph l refer to
A．Your words have a greater effect than the way you express yourself.
B．The way you express yourself has a greater effect than your words.
C．You should pay much attention to the beginning of communication.
D．You should attach importance to the process of communication.
29．How can improper body language affect people according to the second paragraph
A．They may not be accepted as a member of a social group.
B．They may not make others completely understand them.
C．They may not make a bigger achievement in their career.
D．They may not have much control over their feelings.
30．From what angle did Amy Cuddy present her views in paragraph 3
A．Medicine. B．Philosophy. C．Psychology. D．Biology.
31．Why does the author suggest people not lean on any object
A．To show they have trust in themselves.
B．To demonstrate they show respect to others.
C．To prove they are in good physical condition.
D．To indicate they tend to be friendly to others.
Politicians, business bosses, and other types of leaders indeed tend to like speaking with their hands, but does the habit influence how others interpret those words To get to the bottom of it, a team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics conducted a series of experiments on volunteers who viewed videos of people speaking with and without hand movements.
After showing the volunteers videos of people speaking under different conditions, the researchers asked them questions about what they had heard. Some conditions involved the speaker stressing different parts of words in a sentence. Other conditions involved the speaker making various types of hand gestures, such as pointing and sweeping movements. The team recorded the volunteers as they viewed the video recordings, questioning the volunteers afterward about what they had seen and heard.
Researchers found that the volunteers were more affected by syllables (音节) spoken with the conjunction of hand gestures: In 20 percent of the cases, the viewers were more likely to have heard and interpreted the word spoken with a hand gesture. Interestingly, however, volunteers were 40 percent more likely to hear the wrong sound when a mismatch between the word spoken and the hand gesture occurred.
Body language expert Carol Goman said, “Studies have found that speaking with your hands really can change the view of your character. People who communicate through active gesturing tend to be considered warm, agreeable, and energetic, while those who remain still are seen as logical, cold, and analytic. In fact, a 2015 study that studied TED Talks, which posts international talks online, found that the most popular speakers used nearly twice as many gestures as the least popular speakers used.”
The research team said that their findings suggest that hand gestures are an important part of in-person communication that have a direct impact on what the listener hears. Furthermore, they suggest that our responses to hand gestures may be something we learn as we grow up.
32．What’s the researchers’ purpose of doing the experiments
A．To examine the volunteers’ interpreting skills.
B．Test the effect hand gestures have on speaking.
C．To record the volunteers’ questions for the speaker.
D．To confirm the influence hand movements have on leaders.
33．What did the researchers find in the experiments
A．Hand movements affected what the listener heard.
B．The speaker stressed different parts of words in a sentence.
C．People speaking with different hand gestures had different effects.
D．The most popular speakers used more gestures than the least popular speakers did.
34．What does the underlined word “conjunction” mean in Paragraph 3
A．Assistance. B．Combination. C．Disturbance. D．Interpretation.
35．What may the researchers agree with
A．Gestures can influence others’ view on one’s personality.
B．Understanding gestures is a must in every language.
C．In-person communication helps interpret gestures.
D．Responses to gestures are learning behavior.

Understand your pet’s body language
Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet. 36 Understanding your pet’s body language will help you to be a better communicator, as you can even copy some of its movements, expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands.
When dogs feel stressed out or threatened, their eyes will look larger than normal. If your dog isn’t looking directly at you, but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes, it might be about to have an aggressive outburst. 37
If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly, it’s likely communicating affection. 38 For cats, closing one’s eyes in the presence of another is a way to show trust. If your cat feels threatened, its tail will likely be upright; its back will likely be arched, too.
39 If your bird’s pupils (瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly, this can be a sign that it’s excited or greatly interested, or scared or angry. 40 Birds will shake their feathers while cleaning themselves; if their feathers remain shaking, however, this could mean they’re unwell, in which case, take them to an animal doctor for a checkup.
A．Pets’ health depends on your daily care.
B．You can do this back to your cat to show your love, too.
C．The context is important in telling which emotion it might be.
D．Birds can be quite expressive through their eyes and feathers.
E．If your dog is feeling stressed or aggressive, its wide eyes will be accompanied by a rigid body.
F．Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together.
G．If you’re unsure of your pet’s body language, consider reading some articles about your specific animal.

67．阅读下面的材料，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。
My days always started with a two mile run on a nearby greenway. For about two years, I had a very faithful running friend. I could count on him to be waiting for me in rain or snow. This giant, orange cat was probably the most social cat I had ever encountered.
It was remarkable for a cat. He would see me climbing the hill and would join in, running alongside me for about a quarter mile until he meowed (喵喵叫) enough to get me to stop and pet him. And then I’ d give him a stroke (轻抚) on the back.
Although he was a rather fat cat, I always brought him some cat food. On fair weather afternoons, I would pick up my four year old granddaughter from preschool and we would visit the cat together. She would insist on bringing him an afternoon treat.
One day, while my granddaughter was pouring out the plastic bag full of cat food, she brought up a good point. In a matter of fact way, as if this idea had only just come to her four year old mind, she cried out, “Grandma! How long have we been visiting this cat ”
She spoke as if she were scolding (责备) me. “And we don’t even know his name! she continued.” We’ve got to call him something! She was right. For months, I had been sharing my morning runs with this cat. My granddaughter then stepped back and, deep in thought, studied the cat carefully as he ate the Happy Meal.
Then she announced, “I’ve got it! Tom!” I looked at her, puzzled.“He’ s Tom!” That’ s what we’ll call him!” she continued. All the regular runners，walkers，bikers and visitors to the greenway soon came to know the big，friendly orange cat as “Tom”．
My granddaughter loved this cat.She looked forward to our greenway walks visiting Tom，something simple that the two of us did together.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。

On a Friday in January, the forecast was calling for bad weather.

67．范文
On a Friday in January, the forecast was calling for bad weather. Later that night, as I watched the bad snowstorm with strong winds, I became very sad as I though of my greenway friend. More than a foot and a half of snow covered the ground after the storm passed, which was far more than had been predicted. Tom was found the next day stuck under a bridge. I was so thankful he was alive! At that point, I knew what I had to do.
Tom has been part of our family for the past three years. Much like a faithful friend, Tom listens for my car to pull up in the driveway. I can sometimes see him jumping down from his upstairs lookout window and hear him running down the steps as I’m unlocking the door, making sure he beats me to the kitchen by the time I enter. As I sit at my desk finishing this tale of my faithful running friend, I realize that he chose me, not the other way around, and I’m so glad he did.
