一、阅读理解
When you are in another country, it is
important to know the language, but it is equally
important to know
how to communicate
nonverbally(非语言地), before saying anything by
making gestures. According to a
pioneer in
nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of
our communication is verbal. When people don't
know the language, the most common way to
communicate is through gestures. However, many
gestures have
different meanings, or no
meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, for example, nodding
your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts
of Greece
and Turkey, however, this motion can
mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is
a polite way of
saying “I've heard you”.
In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to
spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up.
Today in
the United States, when someone puts
his her thumb up, it means “Everything is all
right”. However, in
Sardinia and Greece, the
gesture is insulting and should not be used there.
In the United States, raising your clasped
hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or
“I’m the
winner”. It is the sign prizefighters
make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian
statesman(政治家)
made this gesture after a White
House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought
he meant he was a
winner. In Russia, however,
it is a sign of friendship.
In the United
States, holding your hand up with the thumb and
index finger in a circle and the other three
fingers spread out means “Everything is O.K.”
and is frequently used by astronauts and
politicians. In France
and Belgium, it can
mean “You’re worth nothing.”
There are other
nonverbal signals that people should be aware of
when they go to another country, such as
the
distance to maintain between speakers. Americans
usually feel comfortable when speaking with
someone if
the distance between them is about
eighteen inches to arm’s length. Anything closer
makes them feel
uncomfortable.
When
talking to Americans, it is also important to make
eye contact. If you look down when talking to an
American, he she may feel that you are
embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide something.
In addition to knowing how to communicate
nonverbally in a country, it is important to know
what you
and he cannot discuss. In the United
States, there are certain topics to avoid when you
first meet someone, For
example, don’t ask
people their age, weight, religion, marital
status(婚姻状况), how much money they earn, or
how
much something costs. You can talk about work, the
weather, traffic problems, sports, food, news of
the
day, where one lives, consumer subjects
(computers, car repairs, and so forth), and travel
or vacation plans.
These few examples
illustrate that your actions can speak louder than
your words. In a particular cultural
contest,
what you say and what you don’t say are equally
important.
28. Which of the following is
true?
A. People all over the world only
communicate verbally.
B. Most of our gestures
have no meaning at all.
C. Some people think
that 65 to 70 percent of our communication is
nonverbal.
D. Gestures are the most common way
to common way to communicate.

nonverbal communication signals.
A. four
B. five C. six D. seven
30. Please
paraphrase the clause“…your actions can speak
louder than your words.
A. Your deeds are
better than your words
B. What you do
is better than what you say
C. You try to show
your best manners
D. you are better understood
by your gestures than through your words
31.
The main idea of the passage is that when you are
in another country, ______.
A. it is
unimportant to know the language
B. it is
important to know what you can talk about to a
foreigner
C. to know how to communicate
nonverbally is as important as to know the
language

is more important than to know the language

make my notes on what I __3__ to do the
following day. But then came the __4__ that my
flight had to be __5__ because there was a problem
with the
plane.
As I sat waiting for my
__6__ to be called，I reflected on my last meeting

meeting but

friend I had not seen for over 12 years. Our
lunch was spent recalling times gone by __8__
filling each other in on what had happened in our
lives over the

great experiences we had

It was great to have this additional time to
replay in my __11__ all that we had talked about.
I realized just

It
was somewhat like looking at an old photo album

people who are in the
__16__.

交流也同
样重要。

nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of
our
communication is verbal 可推知答案。
29.
C。细节题。通读全文就会知晓，本文谈到了6种gestures。
30. D。推断题。这句话的
意思是：你的行动比你的话更有效，再联想到本文谈论在国外与人实行
交流时gesture
的重要性。由此可推出答案为D。
31. C。主旨题。从文章结构和内容来看，第1句话When
you are in another country, it is important to
know the language, but it is equally important
to know how to communicate nonverbally 就是主题句。
语篇解读：这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，作者在一次等飞机时领悟到经常停留一下，回顾生活中美好
事情的重要性。这对现代社会中忙忙碌碌的人们有特别的意义。
1．选B 由with lots
of meetings可知应是很繁忙的三天。
2．选D
在办理登机手续前30分钟到了机场，所以就有额外的时间来计划接下来需要做的事情。
3．选C
此处指利用这点额外的时间来计划接下来“需要”做的事情，所以needed 适合。
4．选A
分析句意可知，这时机场发布了一项通知。announcement
“通知，宣告”。order“命令”；
speech“演说”；opening“开放，开始”。
5．选D 文中提到飞机出了问题，带来的应是航班“延误”或者“取消”，但从下文可知，航班并没<
br>有被取消，所以B项cancelled (取消)错误，应选delayed。
6．选A
飞机延误，作者坐在那里应该是等待“航班”。flight“飞行航班”。
7．选B
由下文的Our lunch可知此处应选lunch。理解全句，应为“那不是一个商务会议，而是与
一个长达12年没见面的业务上的老朋友的愉快的午餐。”
8．选C
分析句意，作者要表达的是在午饭时做了什么，filling 和recalling
引导的短语是并列关
系，需要as well as 连接。as
well“也，又”，多用于句末；except for “除……以外”；in addition
“另外”。
9．选D share表示“分享，共有”，能够构成完整的句意。句意：
想到以前我们一起度过的快乐时
光和美好的经历，我们都很开心。
10．选B 由we
must do it again
可知，他们当然对那天的聚会很满意。分析四个选项的意思，只
有enjoy“喜欢，满意”合适。
11．选D 句意：有这样一段额外的时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了。回想当然应是在大脑中，<
br>所以mind“头脑，心思”符合文意。
12．选C
此处说的是作者的感受，强调这次谈话对作者的影响。reminder
“提醒人的事物，引起
回忆的事物”，符合语境。
13．选D 从上下文可知，显然作者认为
自己很幸运，有这样一个机会来放松并回忆过去12年的
快乐时光。break
恰好能与take搭配，take a break “放松，休息”。
14．选A store
away “收存，保存”；put on “穿上”；set aside“留出，暂不考虑”；give
out “公布，
用尽”。句意：这就有点像是在看保存有你家橱柜里的老相册一样。所以store
away符合句意。
15．选B 看着相册，体现在眼前的应是很多精彩的“回忆”。
16．选D 上文提到了photo album，此处显然说的是“照片”中的人物。句意：表现在你
眼前的是很
多精彩的回忆，它们带你回到过去的时光和场景，更重要的是，它们让你想起照片中的那些人
。
17．选C 由第41空后的to be called 可知答案。
18．选B
飞机来了，当然要登机了，board the plane “登机”，为准确答案。
19．选A
通读整篇文章可知，作者这时的心情应是很愉快的。此处意为：我微笑着登上飞机，对
于飞机的晚点一点
儿也不心烦意乱。结合句意，upset符合语境。
20．选C
作者心情好的原因应是“有时间去回顾那些逝去的好时光”。第二段和第三段都用到了
reflect
on 这个短语，意思是“回忆，反思”。take on“表现”；seize on“占有”；bring
on“使发展，导致(通
常指坏事)”。
