As she approaches, your classmate suddenly raises her eyebrows. What does her facial expression tell you?The human face is an important communication tool. We often express our feelings nonverbally by doing things like smiling or frowning. Sometimes we use facial expressions to add information to something we are saying. Think again about your classmate. As she raised her eyebrows, she probably said, Oh, what a surprise to see you here!”Both her face and words expressed her feelings. However, sometimes our facial expressions do not match our words, especially when we are trying to hide our feelings. If someone says to you, Im fine, but he is looking down and frowning, how do you think he really feels?Facial expressions have different meanings in different cultures. Miscommunications can happen even when two people are speaking the same language. In many cultures, for example, a smile communicates happiness or amusement. In some Asian countries, people also smile when they are embarrassed. Seeing this, a Westerner might be confused and think the Asian person is laughing. In North and South America, and many European cultures, a speaker and listener look at each other directly while talking. In those cultures, looking down or away from a speaker often suggests boredom. In many Asian cultures, looking at someone directly in the eyes while speaking is considered rude.Facial expressions communicate important messages, and can sometimes be more powerful than words. How do people in your culture use them to communicate?（1）The two examples in Paragraph 2 show that _.A . Both face and words can express ones feelingsB . Facial expressions can hide our feelingsC . We can use facial expressions to add information to what we sayD . Facial expression is an important communication tool（2）The underlined word “confused” in Paragraph 3 means _A . “兴奋的”B . “疑惑的”C . “担忧的”D . “有趣的”（3）In most European countries, youd better_.A . do things like smiling or frowning when talkingB . look down or away from a speakerC . have eye contact with listeners or speakersD . raise your eyebrows while speaking（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . Our expressions can always match our words.B . The people who are speaking the same language may have miscommunications.C . Facial expressions have the same meaning in different cultures.D . Facial expressions show important messages, which can be more powerful than words.四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共25分)15. （25分）任务型阅读David is a 10-year-old boyHe wants to buy something for his mother,because next Monday is her birthdayDavid s father gives him 5 dollars a week and David puts 2 doliars a week into a box in his roomAfter three months David has 24 dollars in the boxHe takes 20 dollars out of his box and goes to a big store.He wants something really great for his motherDavid sees a beautiful brooch(胸针)It is in the shape of(呈形状)his favorite animal.It is only$17.00I like it，thinks DavidMy mother loves brooches，and she will like it,tooHe buys the brooch and takes it homeHe puts it in a beautiful box，and puts the box on the dining tableDavid is very happyHe thinks he will see the smile on his mothers faceBut when his mother opens the box，she screams(尖叫)She sees a spider(蜘蛛)in the box!She is afraid of spiders so much!根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。 （1）When is Davids motherS birthday? （2）How much money does David take to the big store? （3）Whats Davids favorite animal? （4）Where does David put the beautiful box? （5）Does Davids mother like the brooch? 五、 单词拼写 (共2题；共11分)16. （10分）语法填空Summer holiday is_(come).
