Ⅴ.阅读理解

Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places although this is less common in big cities. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In South-east Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not try to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another do does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in some facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, the Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.

It is difficult to make a general statement about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.

(　　)1.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smiles can　　　　.  

A.show friendliness to strangers

B.be used in the wrong places

C.be used to hide true feelings

D.show personal habits

(　　)2.What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

A.Learn about their relations with others.

B.Figure out what they will do next.

C.Find out about their past experiences.

D.Understand their cultural backgrounds.

(　　)3.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Facial expressiveness

B.Smiles and relationships

C.Cultural differences

D.Habits and emotions

Ⅵ.语法填空

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Recently,while in a meeting,I asked someone,“Do you agree that there is a problem?” He hesitated for a moment and then 1.　　　　     (nod) his head.“Yeah,I guess.” Immediately,I read his body language and listened to his 2.　　　　    (word) and thought,“He doesn’t really know. He just expects 3.　　　　    (make) me less angry by 4.　　　　    (say) what I want to hear. Actually,he doesn’t think there’s a problem.” That was what I inferred from his body language and what he said. But knowing 5.　　　　     difficult it was to correctly read body language,I asked,“You hesitated. Do you really think there isn’t a problem?” He replied,“Oh no. There 6.　　　　     (certain) is. I just don’t like admitting it out loud.”  

So the hesitation was a result of his unwillingness to admit it aloud. It wasn’t what I thought. If I hadn’t asked the question,I would have gone on believing something 7.　　　　     wasn’t true.  

If you read someone’s body language incorrectly,it could lead 8.　　　　    misunderstandings. Body language is the result of many things. Thoughts,fears,joy,confusion and nervousness 9.　　　　     (be) just a few of the things affecting a person’s body language. Don’t be too 10.　　　　     (confidence) in your ability to know what a person is thinking just because of his body language.

Ⅴ.【文章大意】  文章讲述了微笑的种种含义,进而说明了文化之间的差异会导致面部表情的含义不同。

1.C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“It can also hide true feelings…In South-east Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.”可知,微笑能隐藏真正的感受。其中举越南人讲故事的例子就是为了说明这一观点。

2.D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of ‘reading’ the other person incorrectly.”可知,我们在“读”人们的表情时,要先了解他们的文化背景。

3.A　主旨大意题。文章通篇阐述了微笑的种种含义,以及文化之间的差异导致的面部表情含义的不同,故A项适合做文章题目。

Ⅵ.【文章大意】 作者现身说法:真正读懂他人的身势语不容易,所以不要仅凭身势语盲目地判断他人的想法,不然很容易导致误解。

1.nodded　考查动词时态。由前面的“He hesitated for a moment…”可知,设空处所表示的动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,故填nodded。

2.words　考查名词复数。word在此意为“话语”,是可数名词,此处应用复数形式,故填words。

3.to make　考查不定式的用法。expect to do sth意为“期待做某事”。

4.saying　考查动名词的用法。设空处作by的宾语,故填saying。

5.how　考查连接词。设空处所在句意为:但是我知道正确读懂身势语有多难,我就又问道:“你犹豫了。你是不是觉得其实并没有什么问题?” 故填how(多么)。

6.certainly　考查副词。设空处修饰is,表示“确实”,故填certainly。

7.that　考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词something,故填that。

8.to　考查固定结构。lead to意为“导致”。

9.are　考查动词时态和主谓一致。由语境可知,设空处是对一般情况的描述,应用一般现在时,又因为主语是thoughts,fears,joy,confusion and nervousness,故填are。

10.confident　考查形容词作表语的用法。设空处在此作表语,表示“自信的”,故填confident。
