Unit 4 Body language阅读理解组块专练练速度(限时：30分钟).阅读理解A(2019嘉兴第一次联考)In 2014 my best friends mother died of cancer. It was a tragedy, but as usual, Alice, my mother, used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet. If you asked my friends about my mother, they would say，“That woman has a heart of gold.” I agree one hundred percent.I think the reason why she is such a wonderful person is that the Holy Spirit lives within her. She is very holy and has persuaded me to go to church with her every Sunday.About six years ago my mom decided to pursue her lifelong goal of being a teacher. She knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework and studying at the same time. However, she believed it would pay off. What my mother didnt realize was that not all things pay off in this unfair world. After four hard years of school, she graduated on a warm spring day. It was unbelievable. My aunt drove up from Virginia to celebrate this fantastic day. It was the first time I had ever cried about being happy.Its strange how fast a life can change. Two months later, the unpredictable happened. My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症). I could not believe this could happen after all the good she had done for people. I was very confused and cried every day. My faith in God just disappeared and so did my moms dream of being a teacher.Then, I decided I must move on with my life and accept the fact that she might never get better. Since my decision, I have bee more mature, responsible and active in school and work. Through the years I have always been able to change negative situations into positive ones. Im happy with my life now.1Which of the following can best describe Alice?AHonest.BHelpful.CGreedy.DUnconcerned.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“It was a tragedy, but as usual, Alice, my mother, used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet.”可知，母亲乐于帮助他人，故选B项。2What else did Alice have to do when studying?ADrive a car and go to church.BTeach students and raise kids.CDo housework and teach at school.DLook after children and keep house.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“She knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework and studying at the same time.”可知，母亲在学习的同时还要照顾孩子、做家务，故选D。3According to the text, the authors mother _.Arecovered from illnessBno longer had faith in GodCdidnt realize her dream as a teacherDchanged negative situations into positive ones unwillingly解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“My faith in God just disappeared and so did my moms dream of being a teacher.”可知，母亲因为患病，成为教师的梦想破灭了，故选C。4Which of the following is the best title for the text?AFighting Against Kinds of DiseasesBMother Gave Me Life ExperienceCBelief in God Brought Me Good LuckDHow to Bee a Responsible and Active Man解析：选B标题归纳题。根据文章的内容可推知，本文主要讲述了乐观的母亲对作者的积极影响，使作者成为一个积极面对生活的人，故选B。BThe Scottish poser Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.Its important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫)” If you miss something or youre not sure youve heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point youre not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and dont say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might e up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person true feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.语篇解读：本文讲述了聆听的内涵。我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意，并且要注意说话方式。5Whats the writers purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?ATo give an example of wise words.BTo introduce a worldfamous musician.CTo help explain the meaning of listening.DTo encourage us to fight against disability.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding.”可知，对于Glennie和“我们”来说，聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解，这里说明了聆听的内涵。所以选项C正确。6What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?AIt is important to have a good knowledge of English words.BPeople should know words can be used in many different ways.CEnglish is a very plicated language with a large vocabulary.DThe slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Its important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point youre not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知，准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此，选项D“词语的细微差异可能导致误解”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。7What does the underlined word “sync” in the last paragraph probably mean?AMatch.BProve.CDescribe.DAnalyze.解析：选A词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions”；再根据画线词后的“what they are saying, or do they tell a different story”可推断，match与画线词意思相近。故选A。CA fun way to learn about the people in the destinations you travel to around the globe is to drop into a friendly local bar off the beaten tourist track and enjoy a sip of something the region is famous for. To help you have fun, weve rounded up how to say “Cheers！” around the world.Who doesnt dream of living the good life in France? The food alone is well worth the trip since the French basically invented fine cuisine. They also invented a little golden liquid called the Champagne! Just before your first sip, look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their “cheers”： votre sant！Is it just us, or is the Italian treat called prosecco sweeping the nation by storm? Its lovely anytime: brunch, to celebrate something, or just to slowly sip while catching up with a dear friend. It originated in Italys Veneto region but is now available all over the world. When in Italy, the most mon toast is “cin cin”， which has its origins in China. However, do not use this as a toast in Japan. It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country. If you find yourself in the land of Japan, stick with “kampai”， which means “cheers！”If you havent been to Ireland what are you waiting for? Its the friendliest place, and one of the funniest on the planet, and the pubs are full of stories, where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinness.
