When we have a conversation with someone, we may be using more body language than words. However, the same body language may mean different things in different countries. Thats why people sometimes cannot understand each other.Pointing to one part of the body can have different meanings in different cultures. For example, in the USA people point to their heads when they think someone is clever. However, in Europe it means “He or she is stupid or something is wrong with his or her head”. In our Chinese culture, nodding our head up and down means “yes” and shaking our head from side to side means “no”. However, in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means just the opposite. In England or the USA, when you raise your hand and make a circle with the thumb and the second finger, it means “Everything is all right”. However, if we do this in France or Belgium, it means “Youre worth zero”. In Greece or Turkey, we should not make this gesture, or we are thought to be very rude (粗鲁的).The meaning of gestures can also change over time. In the 1960s, the “V” sign meant “peace”. However, during the World War II, it meant “victory”. In Greece, it is an insulting sign. It will be very rude of you to make this gesture in front of a woman.Though the meaning of body language is different, there are some expressions having the same meaning throughout the world, such as smiling and crying.（1）What can we know from the first paragraph?A . The same body language may mean different things.B . People use the same body language.C . People speak different languages.D . People can understand each other very well.（2）Which gesture will Americans make when they try to say “Everything is all right”？（3）What does the underlined word “insulting” mean?A . interesting.B . unusual.C . impolite.D . important.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A . How to have a successful conversationB . Some customs in Western countriesC . Body language in English classesD . Body language in different cultures四、 七选五 (共2题；共10分)22. （5分）根据对话内容，从方框中选择恰当的选项补全对话，其中有两项多余。A：Hi， MikeWhat are you going to do for your summer holidays?B：_What about you?A：Im going camping with some friendsB：_A：Not this year We are going to the forestB：_A：About a month，I thinkWould you like to come with us?B：_A：That doesnt matterI have an extra(额外的) one and you can use itB：Thanks very much，SteveA：_B：Only once，when l was very youngA：Well，Im sure well have a great timeAHave you camped before?BIts a very long way to the forestCIm not sure vetDReally?

He wanted a boy to work for him, and he put an advertisement in the newspapers. The next morning, many boys came to the old mans office, asking for the job.There was a post（柱子）by his desk, and there was a nail in it. He took a walking stick and said, “Everyone has three chances. If anyone can hit that nail（钉子）on the head with this stick more than once, I will give him the job.”The boys thought it was very easy. They all tried, but nobody could make it. So the old man said, “Im sorry I cant take any of you,” and they left.He kept the advertisement in the papers, and the next morning more boys came, and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before. The boy hit the nail successfully for three times. The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that.“Yes,” said the boy, “I failed yesterday, but I thought that if I kept on trying a while, I could do it. So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it, and I got up very early this morning, and tried again.”The old man said, “You are the boy for me,” and gave him the job. Whatever the boy had to do, he tried to do his best. It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。（1）Did the thin boy get the job at last? （2）What did the old man have in Boston? （3）Where did the boy practice hitting a nail? （4）How many times did the boy hit the nail successfully at the old mans office? （5）What can you learn from the thin boy? 八、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)28. （5分）根据中文及英文提示，写出语意连贯、符合逻辑的短文。所给英文提示词必须都用上，中文提示内容不要逐字翻译。词数80个左右。中文提示：一个雨天，李莉乘出租车回家，在车里发现司机在学英语，他对李莉说了什么?此事对你学习英语有何启发？你打算怎么做？英语提示：1）one rainy day, go home, by taxi2）in the car, find, learn English3）said to Li Li, weak, English, when, at school, now, work hard第 25 页 共 25 页参考答案一、 单项选择 (共15题；共30分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、11-1、12-1、13-1、14-1、15-1、二、 完形填空 (共2题；共20分)16-1、17-1、三、 阅读理解 (共4题；共42分)18-1、18-2、18-3、18-4、19-1、19-2、19-3、19-4、19-5、20-1、20-2、20-3、20-4、20-5、21-1、21-2、21-3、21-4、四、 七选五 (共2题；共10分)22-1、23-1、五、 词汇运用 (共2题；共9分)24-1、25-1、六、 改错 (共1题；共5分)26-1、七、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共25分)27-1、27-2、27-3、27-4、27-5、八、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)28-1、
